Frisco and Memphis Roads May Go to Federal Bench. Two suits, which It is understood are intended to be carried from state into federal courts, for the purpose of testing the application of the Kansas corporation tax to railroads engaged in interstate commerce, were filed in the Shawnee county district court this morning by R. R. Vermillion and W. T. Lillerton, attorneys for the receiv ers of the Frisco road and for the Kansas City, Fort Scott and Memphis railway. Both petitions ask merely for recovery of the amounts of cor poration tax paid under protest today to J. T. Botkin, secretary of state. The tax amounts to $2,500 in each case. The present case is an attack on the Kansas corporation tax law, recently sustained by the state supreme court in the injunction case brought there by the Memphis road, from a new an gle. The tax is .attacked on constitu tional grounds of being double taxa tion in that the roads already pay a tax on physical valuations: that it is an interference with interstate com merce, and that it is an effort to col lect a tax on money employed, at least partially, outside the state of Kansas. WEEKS TO TOPEKA Massachusetts Senator a Guest V of Charles Curtis. Luncheon Here in Honor o Presidential Possibility. Senator Weeks of Massachusetts, a presidential possibility in 1916, will spend a couple of days in Topeka this week, a guest at the home of Charles Curtis, United States senator from Kansas.

A fifty cent luncheon will be served in the dining room. Reservations should be made immediately. In recent months United States Sen ator Weeks has come into considerable prominence as a presidential possibil ity and it is believed that his name may be considered by the Republicans in their 1916 convention. He is a warm personal friend of Senator Cur tis with whom he has served in Wash ington. Mrs. Weeks is accompanying the senator on his western trip. After their visit at the Curtis home they will go to California to attend the expo sition. BIG FRENCH LOAN J. P. Morgan Will Establish Fifty Million Dollar Credit. Belligerent Nations Borrowing From United States. New York. March 30. Bankers heard today that negotiations virtual ly have been completed between J. P. Morgan and company and representa tives of the French government for the establishment in this country of a $50,000,000 credit for the benefit of France. Formal announcement of the conclusion of this arrangement was looked for shortly. It was understood the financing: would take the form of French treas ury bonds issued for one year bearing five per cent interest. Plans have been made to form a syndicate of bankers headed by J. P. Morgan and company to underwrite the credit, and it was expected that a public offering of the French securities would be made. The funds derived from the sale of the bonds, it was stated, would remain in this country and be devoted to the purchase of American goods needed by the French. This issue of bonds would bring the total credits obtained by France to this country since the beginning of the war. up to about $75,000,000. Negotiations for the establishment of a British credit in the neighborhood of $100,000,000 were reported to be progressing but not likely to be con cluded for several days. It was an nounced that about 70 per cent of the $10,000,000 German note issue floated here had been withdrawn by the un derwriting syndicate as a commercial investment. Kills His Grandmother. Philadelphia, March 30. Mrs. Ma tilda Cohen, 8 5 years old, member of a prominent family of this city, was shot and killed today by Henry B. Cohen, her grandson, who then turned the revolver on himself, inflicting a wound from which he died later in a hospital. The tragedy took place in Mrs. Cohen's home and she was killed wh in bed. Cohen is believed by the police to have been insane- FREE ADMISSION AT STATE FAIR That Is, if Shawnee County Votes to Pay the Premiums. Special Election Will Be Called on Proposition. TAKE ADVANTAGEOF NEW LAW Would Mean but 25 Cents per $1,000 of Valuation. The Petitions for Special Elec tion Out This Week. There will be a free gate at the State Fair, Topeka, next September, provided the citizens of Shawnee county vote to provide funds for the payment of the premiums exclusive of those connected with the horse racing department. This decision was made at a meeting of the board of directors of the Kansas State Fair association and others interested in the fair at the Commercial club- quarters at noon today. The legislature passed a bill provid ing that counties with a population of 50,000 or more may vote to aid agri cultural fairs in the payment of premiums by a tax of one-fourth of one mill. This tax would bring in $21,626 in Shawnee county which would mean 25 cents on each $1,000 of taxable property. It ought to ap peal to the average man who takes his family to the fair and has to pay out many times that amount of cash. In a Single Day. i A special election will be called to pass on the proposition. J. S. Dean will prepare petitions and they will be circulated this week. It was proposed by T. F. Doran that the work be done in a single day and to this end pre parations will be made immediately. A committee of ten of which W.' W. Webb and O. F. Whitney will be mem bers will make the arrangements for handling the petitions. Loyal support ers of the fair will be asked to assist by providing their autos for the; work, and it is the plan to have a large num ber of workers. The law requires one thousand signatures on a petition for a special election for the purpose in Qxxestiwn. Enthusiastic Over Plan Those in attendance at the meeting were enthusiastic over the plan for admitting the general public free of charge to the fair which is nothing more nor less than a great education al institution, and it is confidently ex pected that the greatest fair in the history of Topeka will be held. It is not probable that $21,000 will be required for the payment of pre miums, and what money is not re quired will be turned back to the county. There will be $5,000 coming from the state for the payment of premiums provided that the fair fails to pay out in accordance to the fair bill passed by the legislature. "I think it is the greatest move the fair has ever made," said W. W. Webb, in speaking of the free admission plan. "The free gate proposition will certainly win if the people in the county want the fair." Frank P. MacLennan stated that the newspapers would be glad to give space to a cause of this kind which is of general benefit to the community. A Great Opportunity. "I think we have a great opportun ity," he said. "It seems to me that we can carry this proposition. I think we can pull off a great fair here." Samuel E. Lux, president of the as sociation, presided at the meeting. It was Mr. Lux who suggested the plan that the board is determined to push with vigor. Question of Secretary. The question of a secretary for the fair was left in the hands of President Lux and the members of the executive committee. Mr. Lux has been acting as secretary, handling the correspond ence for the association. A vote of thanks was given J. S. Dean, A. W. Smith, Charles Mitchell, O. F. Whitney, Samuel E. Lux, T. A. Borman, L. M. Penwell and others who worked in the interest of the fair while the legislature was in session. Bis Time on Kansas Avenue. Charles Mitchell proposed that one night of fair week be an off night as far as attractions on the grounds are concerned and that the center of at traction be removed to Kansas avenue, where the stores would be open and the theaters running. He suggested having band music on the avenue and a festive occasion generally. This would give the visitors an opportunity to shop if they cared to do so. The committee that will arrange for the circulation of petitions for a spe cial election will meet at the Commer cial club quarters Wednesday noon. AV. L- Porter.

FUNSTON ON DECK He Has" Arrived at Brownsville to Take Charge v Of the Situation Growing Out of Mexican Hostilities. Brownsville, Texas, March 30. General-Frederick Funston arrived here today from Fort Sam Houston, Texas, to watch the border situation during the Villa attack on Matamoros. Three batteries of field artillery from San Antonio are due tonight. There had been no renewal of hostilities be tween the Villa and Carranza faction late today and nothing to indicate when they would be resumed. The United States artillery is being brought here to guard against firing across the border, two persons having been wounded here during fighting last Saturday. Villa soldiers who fell wounded in Saturday's attack on Matamoros are said still to be lying where they fell, and today H. C. Harrison, an Ameri can Red Cross official, sought permis sion from the Matamoros commander to bring them in. The commander. Gen. E. P. Nafarrate, replied he had men out gathering the wounded and placing them in Matamoros hospitals as rapidly as possible. It was reported the Matamoros gar rison has planted dynamite at the ap proaches to the town and believe it could prevent 10,000 men from passing these mines. General Funston, commanding the department of the south, will take command of the situation at Browns ville and has been given discretionary powers to act in the event "firing into Brownsville from Mexico continues." Washington Is Alarmed. Washington, March 30. The Mexi can situation grew increasingly alarm ing today. Added to news that Car ranza seemed certain to recapture Mexico City within 4 8 hours, informa tion arrived that railroad cpmmuniea tion with the capital was interrupted again. Without taking sides, official Wash ington was most anxious over reports of the Carranzistas' growing strength. For some weeks Villa has been count ed on to clarify the situation by crush ing the "first chief." In the past few days, however, the latter has severely repulsed his rival. ONLY NINE MISSING. Another of the Aguila's Boats Reaches Safety With 17 Aboard. London, March 30.

HAND TELLS HER STORY Denies Any Intimacy With Storrier Only Friendship. "I Wanted to Die Call the Po lice," His Last Words. That David N. Storrier came to his death from a pistol wound inflicted by himself with intent to commit suicide in the home of Mrs. Margaret Hand at 131 Jackson street Monday noon, was the verdict of the coroner's jury empaneled for the inquest which took place today in the court of Topeka. No question of the fact of suicide was raised by any of the evidence intro duced at the inquest over which Cor oner J. H. Rinehart presided, with Robert Garver, assistant county attor ney, examining the witnesses. Mrs. Hand related in a circumstan tial way the events preceding and fol lowing the death of Storrier, whom she describes as having been a confi dential lend. She identified the let ters which had been taken from Stor-. rier's pockets and said that she had been in the act of restoring to Stor rier letters written to her by him dur ing his absence from Topeka while working as a lineman between here and Valley Falls. Examiner Garver did not pursue this line of inquiry, the letters serving to establish the fact of the close friendship which existed between the two. Asked for the Letters. "He came to my house, where I have been living only since March 24, about half past eleven o'clock in the morning I should think it was," said Mrs. Hand. "I was surprised to see him because he had told me Sunday that he was leaving town to go to Valley Falls. He explained that he had gone there Sunday afternoon but had been transferred back to Topeka, Continued on Page Four.

HORROR AND FEAR They Strive for Ascendancy in the British Mind. Sinking of the Falaba and Aguila Brings a Shock. London, March SO. England's hor ror over the torpedoing of the steam ers Falaba and Aguila, with a loss of life now estimated at 144, gave way to day to grave concern for the safety of other big passenger carrying lin ers about to enter the German "war zone." Representatives of big shipping companies besieged the admiralty of fices early today. They were assured that extraordinary precautions have been taken to protect trans-Atlantic liners from New York from submarine attacks during their passage through the Irish sea. All night crowds thronged about the office of the Elder line here inquiring for relatives aboard the liner Falaba. Early today the officials of tha Elder line admitted they had practically abandoned hope for 110 passengers and crew of the Falaba still missing. Trawlers raked the waters off the south coast of Wales today and re ported sighting a number of dead bodies. Reports from Fishguard regarding the exact loss of life aboard the Aguila were still contradictory, but the ad miralty still reported S3 of the Aguila' a crew and three passengers missing. The London press today expressed the horror of the nation over the sinking of the Falaba, and Agnila-with heavy iosa of life to non-combatants. THIS IS THE WAY! Petitions Out to Pave West Seventeenth Street Road. Shawnee Must Awaken to Value of Real Highways. Petitions calling for the construc tion of a mile and a half of 18-foot combination asphalt paving from the city limits to Mount Hope cemetery on the West Seventeenth street road, are being prepared for circulation in the neighborhood west of Washburn col lege which will be principally bene fited by the road. The proposal v be supported strongly by real estate interests owning property there and by the cemetery company. The cost of the proposed improvement is estimated to be about $20,000 a mile. If the plan now discussed is carried out the cost of the improvement will be distributed over a period of ten years by the issuance of improvement bonds, and apportioned between the county and the property owners in a benefit district half a mile wide and about two miles long. The city will be expected to pave the space Intervening between the end of the Seventeenth street city paving and the northwest corner of the Wash burn campus. The county would pay 25 per cent of the proposed road and the benefit district the remaining 75 per cent. Petitions for the improve ment must represent 50 per cent of the property and 60 per cent of the property owners living in the proposed benefit district. Shawnee county has spent several thousand dollars on the road running west from Washburn college In recent years, the heavy travel over it neces sitating proportionately heavy expen ditures for maintenance.

THE TOPEKA X DAILY STATE JOTTpv. t TUESDAY EVENING, yrApnTT 30. 1915. STATE'SFIRE LOSS February Report Shows Total of $230,389 in Month. Reduction of 119 Blazes Since Same Period in 1914. TO COMBAT FIRE WASTE Preyention Plan to All Organi zations of Kansas. BRiTAINJACING IT Lloyd George Says Drink Is Her Greatest Foe. Prohibition as Drastic as Rus sia's Is Called For. Nearly 120 Residences Dam aged in the 28 Days. Harrison Parkman, state tin mar thai, has issued his first official bul letin a. 12 rjaere publication dealing with fire losses in Kansas during Feb ruary and containing general fire pre vention hints. The document which made its appearance this week is the first issue of the new fire marshal's publication and shows a fire loss for February of $230,389 from 193 fires, or a reduction of 119 fires and $217, 474 over February. 1914. Copies of the tire marshal's bulletin will be mailed to all fire fighting com panies In Kansas and will be sent to organizations interested in fire pre vention. It is the first attempt on the part of the state to combat fire waste through a state publication. Recently and at the personal request of Park man, the state executive council issued an order permitting of the printing of the bulletin at the state printing plant. It is not known whether the fire marshal bulletin will be made a per manent feature of the fire marshal's office. Parkman retires from the serv ice this week and L. T. Hussey of Lyndon, his successor, has not an nounced his plans. The new bulletin, however, is a distinct feature of the office and is filled with valuable infor mation for persons interested in fire prevention in the state. Losses In February. In reporting the February fire losses in Kansas, the bulletin gives 193 fires lor the month as against 166 fires in January and a loss of $267,762. While the February fires exceeded those in January in number, the February loss was $37,373 below that of the previous month. As compared with the record of a year ago, the 1915 record is 312 fires as against 193 this year and a loss in 1914 of $447,863 as against $230, 389 this year. In a classification of losses. Park man shows the greatest number of fires were in dwellings, barns and stores. During the month a total of 119 residence fires were reported with a total loss of $41,547; 17 stores with a loss of $77,995 and 13 barns with a loss of $29,585. One. art studio burned with a loss of $11,000 and three factory fires piled up an addi tional loss of $12,788. Losses from fires of unknown origin totaled $89,962 in February, while fires started from adjoining buildings caused a loss of $38,305. Defective light wiring was responsible for a loss of $24,888. Defective flues added $20,759 and" furnaces caused' losses amounting to $12,815. The most disastrous fire of the month occurred in the. little town of Wetmore, Nemaha .county.- Eisht business houses were destroyed. They included a bank, opera- house, hard ware, general merchandise, millinery, confectionery, furniture' store, harness shop, barber shop.' "postoffice and three, residences. The building loss was $17,800 with $5,250 insurance. Loss on contents amounted tq $19,700 with $3,600 insurance. ROOT AND BRANCH ACTION Is Backed Both by Employers and Labor Leaders. Wealthy Promise to Seal Up Their Wine Cellars. London. March 30. Prohibition as drastic as that prevailing in Russia, today faces the United Kingdom Press discussions of the letter sent by David Lloyd George, the chancellor of the exchequer, to the Ship Owners Federation competes successfully in point of interest with the news of the sinking of the British liner Falaba by a German submarine with the loss of more than one hundred lives. ine rhanrellor in his letter said: "We are fighting Germany, Austria and drink, and so far as 1 can see me greatest of these three deadly foes is drink," and added he had a growing conviction that only the severest method would be of avail in dealing with the evil. The employers are backing what Mr. Lloyd-George terms "root and branch action, even to tne extent of promising to seal their own wine cellars and to prohibit the use of intoxicants at their clubs, while la bor leaders are equally anxious for the institution of some prohibitory meas ure. Great Britain is smoldering in anger over the torpedoing by the German submarine of the steamers Falaba and Aguila. but confidence is expressed that the latest outbursts of undersea activity will have no effect on the movements of British ships. Reports from Petrograd say the capture of German documents show that Field Marshal von Hindenburg attached great importance to the Ger man offensive movement in the region of the Niemen river. At present neither army in Poland seems to be displaying any great ac tivity and all other sections of the ex tended eastern battle front seem to be waiting the outcome of the death grapple in the Carpathian mountains. There the Austrians are stubbornly contesting every foot gained by the invaders. No news has been received concern ing the expected resumption of the al lied fleets attack on the Dardanelles, but unofficial reports claim the Rus sians have swept the Turkish navy from the Black sea.

They will visit 4 7 prison camps in Germany and every effort will be made by the German authori ties to see that their probe of the con dition of the military prisons is free and unhampered. To date, the fol lowing members of the commission have been tentatively selected: Chairman, J. C. Crew of Boston; Charles Edward Russell, magazine writer of New York; L. Osborne, son of Warden Osborne of Sing Sing pris on; American Consul Michelson of Co logne, and Dr. Carl Ohnesorg of the United States navy. Under the term of this agreement the commission will be permitted to make a thorough inspection of every prison camp in Germany and England. The commission will be empowered to examine and question prisoners out side of earshot of their guards to hear all complaints and to endeavor to ad Just minor disagreements between the authorities and the prisoners. Copies of the commission's report will be forwarded to each or the bel ligerents. The commission will em body in its conclusion a recommenda tion that the warring powers adopt a uniform prison policy regarding sup plies of food, correspondence, amount of exercise to be allowed prisoners and their general treatment by their guards. Ambassador Gerard already has been successful in ameliorating the conditions of German prisoners of war. He suggested to the German authorities that the race track at Ruhleben, where one of the largest of the prison camps is located, be used as an exercise ground for the prisoners. The suggestion was promptly approv ed. The American ambassador, though burdened with extraordinary duties since the beginning of the war, plans to visit each of the larger prison camps on personal tours of inspection. W. O.

But He Refuses to Discuss Presidential Possibilities. Washington. March 30. Former President Taft. although declaring that he is out of politics, is optimistic over the- juture of the Republican party. During his brief stay in Wash nerton he declined to discuss the avail ability of any of the men mentioned as possible nominees at the next con vention but said he was confident the ReDublican Dartv would toe restored to power at the next presidential elec tion. "I believe there is excellent reason for Republicans to feel confident with regard to. the future of the party, said Mr. Taft at the Boardman resi dence, where he was a guest during his stay in the city. "My observation and what I learn convince me that Republicans are get ting together and that the coming campaign will open under most satis factory conditions. There is a condi tion of unrest and uneasiness with re spect to our present economic and business conditions and dissatisfaction with policies that have been enforced that cannot be removed so long as the advocates of these policies have con trol of the government. "The eyes of the country are again turned toward the Republicans and the great mass of the people have had it impressed upon them that there can be permanent prosperity only when Republican policies dominate our na tional affairs. I am a Republican op timist and believe that 1916 will wit ness the end of Democratic power in this country." About Candidates. "And who will be the candidate of the party or whom do you think the Republicans should nominate V Mr. Taft was asked. "Oh," he replied laughingly. "I have formed no opinion on that sub ject; have given it very little thought for I am not now in politics, you know. The Republican party is not lacking in available and competent men. A number have been suggested and a good man will be found when the time comes for the party to agree upon its candidate." Recently a number of the Republi can papers throughout the country have had much to say about the ad visability of renominating Mr. Taft, just as Cleveland was renominated after having been defeated by Harri son. With this fact in mind Mr. Taft was asked: "Are you out of politics for good "I am just a professor now," he laughingly rejoined. "I am too busy with that profession to be a poli tician." Seems Content. The former president with his ever present good humor and amiability positively declined to discuss men. He did not say flatly that he never again would re-enter the political field but he conveyed the impression of a man who was thoroughly satisfied with his present state. He said he delivered four lectures a week at Yale and these were so arranged that he could devote a portion of his tim to law lectures, at other educational institutions, which occupied all of his time, -al-. though they give him the opportunity to visit other sections of the country and kept him in touch with the. public thought. With regard to the administration's policy toward the present European war and the situation in Mexico the former president was extremely, reti-. cent. "I have my own views, of course,", he said. "But this is not the time to discuss these matters .publicly." Mr. Taft said it was the duty' of this government to remain absolutely neu tral in the conflict now raging and that there were always difficulties in following such a course. "Under such circumstances," he said, "both criticism and commenda tion were to be expected .from the cit izen, depending upon the .personal views of the individual." Whet Mex-t ico was mentioned his silence was im pressive. TODAY'S MARKET REPORT. Chicago, March -30. WHEAT Reduced estimates of the Argentine exportable Bur plus had much to do with a decided ad vance in the price of wheat. Some authori ties cut down the figures on the surplus to a total of 80,000,000 bushels. There was also a falling off in the European visible supply with stocks decreasing at Livemool. After opening e to 3c higher, the markets aieauiea at a range c to l'sc aoove last night. Assertions that the' condition of the do mestic winter crop averaged higher now than last December gave only a brief check to the bulls, who were encouraged by re ports that Italy would not enter the war until May, if at all. The close was strong at lc to 3e above last night. CORN Rough weather in the west tend- OFFICIAL COURT NAMES WINNERS Continued from Page On.J boards may well look upon with envy. It was a victory for headwork and good management.' Where other elec tion boards pursuecT the old and time worn custom f drawing out a ballot at a time and entering it upon the books, the board at 1424 Kansas ave nue adopted a plan devised by C. J. Rosen, one of the Judges. Before the count commenced the ballots were all taken from the box and sorted. First all the ballots for' a single candidate were put in piles of 25 and each pile was checked over by three different persons to verify its accuracy. Then the total was drawn off and the bal lots resorted for another candidate, Thus all the House ballots, all the Blakely, all the Hughes and all the Lannan ballots were separated and counted individually, each under a triple "check. For getting results, this system was a winner. Within two hours the vote at the second of the Fifth was on its way to the office of election commis sioner and the debris from the day's voting was being swept up. Half an hour later there was no evidence of there having been an election except a stack of neatly piled booth frames on the front porch waiting for a drayman to haul them away. ed to make corn firm. Cash houses were Duyers. Tne opening, which varied from c to JAc up was followed by a further gain and then a moderate reaction. Improved shipping call helped later to bring about a fresh untura.

Prime heavy steers are quotable up to $8.50, but the best here in the last week brought S8.35, top yearlings $8.50. Bulk of the heavy fed steers with good finish sell at $7.50 to S8.00. plain heavy steers $7.25 toy $7.50, choice cows up to $7. fancy heifers $8.25, bulk of the good heifers around $7.50, choice veal calves $9.50 to $10.50. Beet pulp steers sold today at $7.15 to $7.50, to both killers and feeder buyers, and beet pulp bulls at $5.35 to $5.50. Panhandle feeders sold at $7.25 to $7.85, weights from 900 to 1100 pounds, uaran tino .teeers sold nt S6.80 to 87.20. about 10c lower than last Thursday; offerings today composed of cake fed steers from Texas weighing 930 to 1200 pounds. Shipments of stockers and feeders from here last week amounted to 11,000 bead, two thou sand more than during same week a year ago. In a few words, the general market is weak on weighty killing cattle, strong on light weights, butcher grades, and stockers and feeders. The bog market made good gains at the close of last ween, account or extraordin ary shipping demand to eastern killers. Chicago is unable to send hogs east, ac count of quarantine regulations, and sur plus orders are being filled here, mnking this marget 15 to 20 cents above Chicago and other Missouri river points during the last week. Receipts today are 11,000, mar ket 5 cents lower to order buyers, 5 cents higher to packers, top $6.85, although a carload of 120 pound pigs brought $6.95, bulk of sales $6.65 to $6.90. Sheep and lambs changed very little last week, the market slow on most days, due to continual efforts of buyers to get the stuff cheaper.

THE TOPEKA DAII,Y STATE JOURNAI TUESDAY EVENING, MARCH 30, 1915. L j v i 1 1 i i? JACK JOHNSON SEEMS SCARED AS DAY OF fl r?M 4LL.JM i i iesa Willard As April 5, the day of the Jack Johnson-Jess Willard fight approaches, the colored holder of the heavy weight belt .seems to be considerably worried. The betting, however, is almost two to one in his favor. He Is training hard at Havana. The people of the Cuban capital are most unfavorable to Johnson, and it will be a Willard crowd that will witness the big battle next month. SPORT WHEEZES Being Purloined Dos Meat, Prune Pies, Lemon Sandwiches, Etc. (By Clus.) AVho said Topeka was a dead base ball town Umpire Quigley had his first work out Sunday when he officiated in the game between the St. Louis Cardinals and Browns. Mike Cann. the over-handed left hander from Sunny California, is said to be especially anxious to work against the Kansas City Blues in their exhibition games here. Of course, exhibition games don"t count, neither do they indicate very much, but the way the Kansas City Blues drubbed the St. Joe Drummers shows that Holland's men have not gotten into a championship stride. A meeting of the magnates of the Kansas State league will be held in Kansas City some time during the tirst week in April when the schedule will be arranged and other important mat ters decided upon. "Smoky" Joe Wood, who a few sea sons ago was one of the most sensa tional pitchers the American league ever produced and who first became a baseball player at Hutchinson, Kan., is said to have hit the toboggan for keeps. Wood's physique has been failing him for the past two years, and he doesn't seem to have improved any during the past winter. Jimmy Jackson was a bit out of sorts Monday afternoon because the diamond was not in as good shape as he wanted it. Some of the new dirt was a bit high, and as a result one player got a hot one in his breadbas ket, and George Cochran celebrated his first afternoon out by bunging up his wrist. All of the local baseball squad is now in except Bill Itapps. LaKIum hoise, Lattimore and Tallion. Roche, Tonneman and Murphy showed up Monday, apparently in the pink and pearl of condition, and with ten pitch ers on the job Jackspn will have plen ty of work for Murphy, and Tonnemr.n to do.

They will meet the nine of the Emporia Normal school Wednesday in the first skir mish battle, and they will show their wares in Topeka Saturday and Sunday against Jimmy Jackson's braves. Owner Savage of the local club says he has his doubts about being able to Dnng on JJan Mcueenan, the in State infielder who was signed by Jimmy Jackson. McGeehan was noti fied by the magnuts of the Tri-State that if he was not sold by March 9 he would be a free agent. On March 20 he had not been sold and was signed by Jackson. Then, three days later, he was notified by his old own ers that he had been sold to the Man chester club. Savage has put in a claim, but has little hopes of getting him. On top of the outfield fence at the local ball park there is a bull, just like there is on most ball park fences. Up until last season a well known to bacco firm always gave a quantity of so-called tobacco to every player who hit the bull with a batted ball in a regular game. And, up until last sea son, Jimmy Jackson was never known to buy a polk of tobacco. Jimmy was" one of the fellows who hit the bull so consistently that the weed factory de cided to advertise its wares in other ways. Every other one of the host of White Sox recruits for the place hav ing fallen down, Bobby Roth, last year an outfielder with the Kansas City Cowboys, is to be given a chance to show that he's a third baseman of, big league caliber. He Is now working out at that station with the White Sox first squad. Ever since Harry Lord's sudden retirement, the third base problem has been the hardest for White Sox people to solve. Man ager Rowland tried out half a dozen recruits this year, but none had the combination of good fielding and stick work necessary to make good. Two hundred fight fans received a bitter disappointment at Olmitz. Kan., Sunday afternoon when the Barton county sheriff interrupted a double header bout that was about to be staged between Kansas City and cen tral Kansas pugs. But Olmitz is somewhat of a disappointing place. The only hoboeing this column ever did was in the vicinity of Olmitz. Aft er sleeping in a barn in the city and cooking coffee and spuds down by the cattle pens, the whole program was found so disappointing that the stom ach demanded a change. A restau rant was sought after the second night it was in the same building with a pool emporium and a sure enough meal was very much desired. "What have you that's good?" was asked the waitress. "Anything you want." she replied. Whereupon everything that appeals to hungry lad was ordered, but said waitress soon discovered that the only things she had were canned goods and ham and eggs. The meal was a disappointment, too. It consist ed of ham and eggs, sardines, canned peaches, olives and pork and beans. McAllister to Tigers? James C. McGill, owner of the Den ver baseball club, has declined to con sider a deal for the release of Catcher George Block to the Lincoln Tigers. A letter from the Denver magnate, re ceived by Hugh L. Jones, conveyed the information that Block would not be released to Lincoln or any other club on the O'Neill circuit and that Block is apt to be retained as a member of the Grizzlies' catching staff. The let ter from the Denver owner confirmed the suspicion that McGill had not in tended at any time to let Block play for a rival club in the Western league. With Block removed from considera tion, Hugh Jones and Manager McTn tyre will immediately begin pulling the wires to land another backstopper for the Tigers. Lew McAllister, with Topeka for the past two seasons, has applied for a job. with the Lincoln clun BY"CLUG FIGHT APPROACHES and he may be taken on. The more McAllister's record is studied in the books, the better he looks to Manager Matty. McAllister has seen -a dozen years or more of service, but he played the game well in all departments for Topeka last year and was only re leased because of the necessity of re ducing expenses. McAllister might be a valuable catcher for the Tigers be cause of his long experience at the po sition where experience counts most In baseball and on account of his abil ity to coach young pitchers.

Jack- John son has commissioned a friend here to wager $5,000 for him that he will de feat Jess Willard in their heavy weight championship match, in Ha vana next Monday it became known today. The news that Johnson was betting on himself was expected to stimulate interest in the match in the negro dis trict in which Johnson lived before fleeing to Europe. The district has been showing an attitude of. apathy toward the earning battle. Reports that the negro champion was carrying too much weight caused practically no betting among his admirers who here tofore had been eager to back him at even money. Both Men Measured. Havana, March 30. The Cuban congress has agreed to stop the clock at noon April 5, and not to convene again until after the fight, so that the merrlbers may attend. Physicians Monday night took the measurements of the pugilists. The results were as follows: Johnson WHlnnl 6 feet Vi Inch Height 6 feet 6 inches Jo eigne 243 .Keach 80H inches Chest, Dormal 39 Inches ...Chest expanded. .44 In. ..Waist 37 iinlips 7314 inches 40 inches r.i's luches lucties. 15 luches Biceps, normal 14 inches 17 inches Biceps flexed. .15 Inches 17 inches Neck 17V.

Both men worked hard in their training quarters before large crowds and also on the road Monday. Willard went through all his indoor exercises, and in addition, took on his sparring partners in turn for 12 fast rounds. The big white man went af ter Charley Hemphill eo vigorously that Hemphill was dazed by one of his blows and Willard was- forced to slow down. Willard's left to the head and body were his best blows. He said he is afraid to use his right against his sparring partners. -Ring followers consider that one of the worst faults of Willard is that he leaves his body unprotected most of the time. He also fights with his mouth open. Willard will not work today. He will make his final spurt Wednesday and then will gradually let down in his training., He says he ex pects to enter, the rin at 233 pounds, so he has six pounds to take off. The black fighter is heavier and seemingly is slower than he was at Reno, five years ago, 'but he says he is satisfied with his condition. GET OUTDOOR RANGE. Topeka Riflemen Will Become Affili ated With National Organization. An outdoor rifle range. for Topeka Is now assured. H- B. Howard, secre tary of the TopeKo r ritlemen, an nounced this morning that sufficient ground for a full 1,000 yard range had been secured and that a lease on this ground for five years would be drawn up at once. This ground is located west of town. about one mile from the car line, and the range will be laid out so that the shooting will be into Martin s hill. Mr. Howard also, stated the state will co-operate in maintaining the range, and the United States govern ment will furnish the kind of targets that are used by the best clubs and on the best ranges in the country. The next meeting of the club mem bers will be held tonight at which the National Rifle association constitution and bylaws will be presented and adopted, and affiliation will be made at once with the national association. Prospects are also said to be bright for landing the state shoot- here this summer. Secretary Howard says that a num ber of prominent Topekans who have not heretofore taken an active interest in rifle shooting have expressed a de sire to become members of the new club, and all who are interested are cordially invited to attend tonight's meeting which will be held at the Howard Sporting Goods store at 716 Kansas avenue. PLAN A- NEW LEAGUE. Six Western Kansas Towns Would Have Circuit of Their Own Ford, Kan., March 30. It has' been suggested that a four or six-team league would make the baseball af fairs of this part of Kansas much more interesting, and steps are being taken to organize a league before the playing season opens this spring. A communication from Mullinville proposes a league with members at Minneola; Bucklin, Ford Mullinville, Greensburg and Haviland. This would make a good compact circuit, each town being within easy reach of the others by automobile. Such an organization would liven up interest and would have a tendency to make the sport more successful In a financial way than at present. Restore Double Umpire System. San Francisco, Cal., March 30. The directors of the Pacific Coast baseball league have decided by telegraphic vote registered with President A. T. Baum, to restore the double umpire system for the coming season, which opens today. Two additional umpires have been appointed. LOYAL MNS OUT Record Breaking1 Crowd at Commercial Clnb Gathering. Flans Made for Starting Ticket Selling Campaign. The biggest baseball booster crowd Topeka ever turned out was at the fanfest at the Commercial club Mon day night "to meet Owner John Savage, Manager Jimmy Jackson and the play ers. Old men with clean heads, beard- less youths and fans from every walk of life filled the assembly room of the club to its capacity and when Secre tary Kelley called the meeting to order after Savage cigars had been passed, there was not a vacant chair in the room. Charley Mitchell acted as outer and inner guard at the door and Mr. Kel ley kept the talkfest going with very little exertion. Most of the players were on hand, and all of them received an ovation as they entered the room. George Cochran, the Missouri Squirrel Truner, brought forth the first spon taneous burst of enthusiasm and a vain effort was made to have the pop ular third sacker display his oratori cal prowess. But George refused to talk further than to acknowledge the ovation, and some one was unkind enough to say that married life had had a tendency to make him oittiaent. After Mr. Kelley had announced the purpose of the meeting, Messrs. Sav age and Jackson were Introduced to the fans, and then President Elliott, of the club, was called upon for the first talk. Elliott's Judgment. Mr. Elliott assumed the pose of a connoisseur of human nature and an exnert iudse of human animals and said that he had made a special study of both Savage and Jackson and wouia assume the responsibility of pronounc ing them the right sort of men in the right place. Then followed a string of long and short winded fans who told their views of baseball, their expectations and what they hoped from the team and what they thought would keep the fans boosting and pulling throughout the season. Between speeches, reports of the election returns were furnished by the State Journal, and from the enthu siasm that was expressed by loud voiced cheers when House's majorities were announced, it was evident that Dod Gaston stood ace high in the full house. Owner Savage spoke to the fans in brief but eloquent terms, thanking them for their interest in the team and promising them that every effort would be made to give Topeka a team that Topeka would be proud to sup port. Manager Jackson followed Mr. Sav age on the program and despite the fact that he admitted being more ner vous than he ever was In a ball game, Jimmy made a hit with every one be cause he was oozing baseball enthu siasm and smiling all over. Among the more eloquent talkers on the program were Dr. Ernest, Fath er Murphy and Fred Voiland.

Among the Talkers. Among those who told of their base ball hopes and ambitions were: C. S. Elliott, Geo. Bigger, Frank S. Crane, Arch Catlln, Chas. Mitchell, Ed Sher man, R. J. Parker, John Savage, Jim my Jackson, John Nowers, Fred "Voil and, Harry Snyder, Father Murphy, Chas. Joslin, Dr. Ernest, Lisle Bishop, John Scully and George Godfrey Moore. After the talkfest was over, the matter of putting on a ticket selling campaign was brought up and dis cussed at length. Several of those present expressed a desire to buy sea son tickets and it was suggested that a canvass of the audience be made to see how many would take them, but as it had been announced that no money would be asked for, Mr. Kelley would hear to none of this. However, it was finally decided to inaugurate the ticket selling campaign next Monday week, and after about thirty-five of those present had volun teered to give a day's time to the cam paign, a committee composed of Wil liam Fleger,- L. C. Smith, Charles Mc Cleery, H. C. Burdeck and Robert Tasker was appointed to outline the plan of the campaign and get things ready for tjie starting. Large Sale Expected. Mr. Kelley stated that he hoped $10,000 worth of tickets would be sold during the campaign, and said that it would be necessary to sell at least $5,000 worth for the team to get under way without any financial embarrass ment. Among those present and among the most enthusiastic of those present were Arch M. Catlin and Sim Bear, of last year's club, and both expressed confidence in the new management and the prospects for a pennant con tender. "I have never seen a better baseball crowd In Topeka," Mr. Catlin said, "and I sincerely hope that Savage will be able to put a good team In the field. And furthermore, I believe that the expen-ience he and Jackson have had will go a long ways towards help ing them to do so." Father Murphy said that he was ac quainted with the class of baseball that was played In the Tri-State league, and that he was glad to see the team getting so many players from that circuit. Among the players who were pres ent at the meeting were: Cochran, Grover, Dashner, Cann, Weideman, Tonneman, Sanford, Cobb and Mur phy. Those who offered their services In the ticket campaign were: Harry Snyder, Tom King, S. C. Pettitt, E. D. Sherman, J. P. Taylor, Charles Mc Cleery, Dr. E. C. Smith, J. A. Zook. A. Beronius, M. O.

New Tork, March 80. Eastern col lege golfers are making preparations for a trip to the Pacific coast this summer to visit the Panama-Pacific exposition and to play a series of team matches with various clubs on the coast. They intend to leave here Immediately after the intercollegiate boat races on the Hudson and Thames. There will be representatives of Tale, Princeton, Pennsylvania, Cor-x nell, Williams and possibly Columbia in the party. A week will be spent at the fair, after which a two weeks' automobile tour will be made of the links in central California. It is pos sible that the Northwest will be vis ited. MORA X STOPS A CHAMP. Pittsburg lighter Knocks Out Bom bardier Wells In London Fight. London, March 30. Frank Moran, the American heavyweight, who hails from Pittsburg, knocked out the Eng lish champion. Bombardier Wells, in the tenth round before 4,600 specta tors in the London opera house Mon day night. The match was for twenty rounds and a purse of $3,500. Moran sent a right to Wells' jaw and the English champion fell flat on his face in the ring as if dead. The crowd, which had watched Wells' clever boxing enthusiastically, seemed stunned; then cheers burst forth and Wells' seconds lifted his prostrate form and carried it over the ropes.

Gov--ernor Boyle has put an end to all li censed prize fighting in Nevada, hav ing already signed the general reve nue bill, which repealed the law under which ten round prize fights have been held during the past two years.

If garden seeds have any sensibili ties they must be more than anxious to set on the job. Doing nothing is the most tiresome task. Incidentally, the European -war is giving many of the American heir esses who married titled .foreigners a little additional excitement for their money. Spring must be lurking somewhere in this vicinity. Topeka's realty mar ket has become active again, and, best of all, the real estate dealers report that many families from other parts are moving here. Topeka's growth is as steady as it is substantial, and that's the kind which -counts in the long run. Cancer ranks seventh. nmong the deadly diseases in this country, ac cording to a professor ,ot, surgery at the Leland Stanford university and its prevalence has almost dou bled in the last forty years. But cancc is not the dread disease that many folk believe it to be, provided its treatment is be gun in time. And the fatalities due to it would be materially decreased if this course were followed. Even with the prospects of getting into the European war ahead of lur, Italy finds a way. to appropriate $3, 000,000 to give work to the unem ployed. That's more than this coun try or any of its divisions, with the exception of a city here and there, ever does in times of peace, no matter how severe the unemployment prob lem may be here. And there are all kinds of public work here that could be carried on for this purpose and during the seasons when other work is slack. Nor are the brutalities of war limit ed to the results of the activities of the belligerents against each other. Take the defense of Permysl, for in stance. Could any act of a belligerent against an enemy work more brutal ity, horror or suffering, than did the actions of the Austrian commanders in holding out against the inevitable un til their entire command was on the Verge of starvation,? arid while many of their soldiers were ravaged with disease as well as the pangs of hun ger? It is inconceivable. Whenever there is anything like .a real demand among the voters of To peka for a change from the commis sion form of government to the old mayor and council plan, the promot ers or agitators for the change will have no difficulty in assembling ade quate petitions for it and getting ac tion on them. It is safe to say, though, that tin? great majority of To pekans are in favor of bettering the commission system and taking a step forward in respect to municipal ad ministration rather to one backward. President Wilson and Secretary Bryan will have to be content to con tinue the "watchful waiting" policy as far as Europe ia concerned. Col onel House, the gentleman from Texas, and President Wilson's emis sary to the warring nations of Europe, is retiring in good order. He has dis covered that the time is not ripe for the promotion of peace. But almost any amateur student of the war could have told President Wilson the same thing with reasonable assurance before Ire started Mr. House on his beneficent mission. CANNED CHEESE. This being an era cf cans and car tons for the passing of foodstuffs to the consumers, there is nothing novel In the suggestion that canned cheese is possibility. Of course, some brands of cheese have been sold in jars, earthen and glass, this long while, but the dairy department of the United States department af agricul ture has reached the conclusion that the common Cheddar-process cheese, more familiarly known, perhaps, as the New York, Wisconsin, etc, variety, if put up in airtight cans, has certain advantages over cheese handled in the ordinary way. This method, in the -opinion of specialists, seems to meet the needs of the handlers who have been trying to devise some individual package for this kind of cheese or a method of handling that would elimi nate cutting and waste between the factory and the .consumer. As a re suit of experiments it has been found that it was commercially-' practicable to press the cheese in hoops of small diameter, cut it into pieces of desired weight, and seal in airtight tin cans. This provides a sanitary package, at a cost of about only 3 cents per can, which keeps the cheese from exposure to air and contamination, and prevents loss of weight by evaporation. In ad dition to these advantages, there is no rind, which, of course, is always a loss. And what an ideal method this would be for most folk for the han dling of limburger cheese, provided the cans containing it were never opened. i THE CITY ELECTION. With, less than a thousand votes separating the leading mayoralty can didates, J. E. House and C: G. Blake ly, and with fifteen hundred other votes divided between the two other men in the race, J. W. F. Hughes and James J. Lannan, and several thousand votes that were not cast at the primary at all but are still avail able for the election, it is impossible to use the primary results as a positive forecast of what will happen at the final municipal roundup on Tuesday next. i For commissioners, Messrs. New land, Tandy and Porter, the only ones who were candidates for re-election, lead their tickets by overwhelming numbers. This goes to show that one of the important factors in the com mission form of government is exper ience; and, where the people are satis fied that the commissioner is doing his duty and working for what he re gards as the best interests of the city, he is likely to be retained in the same capacity and thereby through his past services be enabled to render greater service to the city in the future. In connections with the candidacies for commissioner of finance, Mr. W. H. Wasson, the city's capable auditor. and a man for years closely asso ciated with the financial affairs of the city, received a larger number of votes in the primaries than any of his op ponents. This too was natural and shows that the people want the best efficiency they can secure. CoL Nor ton, who will run against Mr. Wasson for the office, is certainly not the man to whom should be entrusted the large financial interests of Topeka. Ke has not made a financial success in his own affairs. He occupies a. nomi nal position in Mr. Capper's business office, is ah affable and agreeable gentleman,, but hardly the man whom Topeka, with its large receipts and ex penditures of money, should delegate to represent it in that capacity. In -regard to the mayoralty question. there are some significant things to be noted. Mr. Lannan, who was running for mayor under a form of government which he opposed, was "distanced at the -post," receiving so. small a num ber of votes as to he negligible;, showing,- if it shows anything, that, the pea pie of Topeka want the commission form of government .continued and they want as their 'mayor some one ho favors that form and opposes the old council system. Colonel Hughes, who we always have with us and whose smile no de feat can wear off, was also distanced, receiving less than 1,000 votes of a to tal of 13,000. J. E. House, of the Topeka Capital's editorial force, and C. G. Blakely, a prominent business man and former member of the council, have been chosen by the primary to contest for the office of mayor, Mr. House re ceiving 5,951 and Mr. Blakely 4,990 votes. While Mr. House received rath er a strong lead over his contesting nominee, he still received less than one-third of the registered vote. Between these two men, the busi ness men and women citizens of the capital city should not hesitate in making their choice for mayor. In the first place, for mayor a great, progressive city like Topeka needs an able business man, one whose train ings have been along business lines and whose success in his own callings qualify him in a way to become the business manager and executive of the city of Topeka. Mr. Blakely Is the owner of considerable property and, therefore, a tax payer; is a man of un questioned integrity and of the high est moral standing. His experience in the council gave him an invaluable former service in the city's affairs which will be of great advantage to him as the. mayor commissioner. The State Journal also knows Mr. Blakely to be a man who has to the utmost degree the courage of his con victions. He is a man of nerve. When the State Journal exposed the rotten ness of a former Topeka city engineer In connection with the disgraceful con struction of a sewer in the southern portion of Topeka, Mr. Blakely, as councilman, backed up this paper in its campaign to expose the dereliction of the contractors. The opponent of Mr. Blakely, Mr. J. E. House, is a very clever and like able gentleman. He has been on the staff of the Topeka Capital for many years and still occupies that position and consequently must be considered as" having the publicity or other in-" fluence available, for him in that con nection. It Is true that at the elev enth hour, the day before the pri maries, Mr. Capper, publisher-owner of the papet, was forced to come out and make a somewhat perfunctory, though rather humiliating statement that he was "not back of Mr. House's candidacy." A great many people as sumed that the Capital was back "of Mr. House until the day before the pri maries just closed. Mr. House stated publicly in his advertisement that he referred to Mr. Capper by permission and this was never denied until Sun day. On that day. Governor Capper, owner of the Capital, said: "I am tak ing no part in this primary contest. I know that neither Mr. House nor his managers have any desire to misrepre sent my attitude, but it 'should be un derstood that I have not endorsed- or encouraged Mr. House's candidacy." This is a somewhat stilted and truly forced statement. A number of prom inent women of Topeka with. iMrsV D. W. Nellis as chairman of a committee appointed for the purpose, went to Mr. Capper late Saturday evening and demanded that he publish a state ment in the Capital in some way dis avowing any responsibility for Mr. House's candidacy. The ladies told Mr. Capper that the temperance work era in Topeka would not stand for a member of his staff who was a can didate; they also told him that unless he made the statement requested that they would get out and work against him when he came up for re-election for governor. A prominent minister has openly and by name quoted a. great deal from the bright utterances of Mr: House in the Capital to show that the can didate for mayor is not in sympathy with the prohibitory law. Whether this preacher went too far or not is an open question but the fact remains nevertheless that whether or not the minister should- have uttered thes3 things from the pulpit, he had the facts on his side and he placed Mr. House in the very attitude which Mr. House's own sayings placed him. The latter has not denied he said these things and he really should not object to stand on his record. There can be no question that Mr. House has slurred the prohibitory law of Kansas again and again; has declared in unques tionable language that he regarded the prohibitory law as "interfering with personal liberty" and more or less of a joke to him. To be sure, he has announced that he will enforce the prohibitory law and do all he can along that line. So did Mr. Billard, but Mr. Billard did not enforce it and his appointees were in connivance with the breweries and liquor sellers. Mr. Billard made a state issue of the prohibition question last November and was overwhelming ly defeated. It is perhaps unfortunate that the wet and dry issue continually comes up in city and state affairs. Mr. Bil lard's running last fall seems to have settled the question so far as the state is concerned for all time. It may not be a bad idea to settle this question so far as the city is concerned by the defeat of Mr. House at this opportuni ty, if we must have this question again dragged into issue and there is no doubt that the question is there and will be there between now and the- election day next Tuesday. Not a few of the candidates at the primary have joined the ever-increasing company of erstwhile office seek ers who have been taught by stern ex perience that the people don't always vote as they talk and cheer. Journal Entries It's. not so much what you w:ear but how you act.-'' Many a man who talks about his in come works for a daily wage. Every man thinks his supply of common sense is larger than it is. Were it as easy to hold onto money as it is to get it. most folk would be pretty well fixed. If the average householder stretch ed his coal out through the winter as he does in the spring, he would re duce his annual coal consumption con siderably. J ayhawker Jots As Mrs. Kelley of the Toronto Re publican suggests: What matter if you weigh 150 if you appear to weigh ZOO? Or what s the use of being only 45 if you look 50? A thin veneer of learning, or cul ture- is often put forward as the genu ine article observes the Stafford Courier, but nobody is ever duped by the deception but the fellow inside the veneer. One of the most surprising thinjrs about coming unexpectedly into an inheritance by a young man. oavs the Toronto Republican, is the number of unexpected warm friends that pop out or tne Drusn. According to the Lebo Star, the free moving picture show which the town of Lebo puts on every other Satur day afternoon is a good drawing card to bring the farmers and their wives to Lebo to do their trading. Are people living in town more quarrelsome than country people? asks the Beanville Correspondent of the Troy Chief, and he continues: It Is very seldom you hear of country people quarreling. It must be that people in town are crowded too closer ly together. Observations by the Marvsville Ad vocate-Democrat: Don't put too much con In your conversation lest vour friends put in the "shun. The congressional seeds have begun to arrive. Could there be a surer sie-n of spring? Our friends are like old clothes unless they wear well we get little satisfaction out of them.

(By Donald Allen.) John Stewart, a village merchant, had seen bankruptcy coming and had committed suicide. "It's awful," said Deacon Graham, as a knot of the villagers were sol emnly discussing the tragedy. "I can't figure that there'll be a red cent saved out of the wreck, and how's that gal Irene going to get along?" "She'll have to get married," re plied the village cooper. "Si Warren, .don't talk like a fool!" was the reproving exclamation. "In the first place, the girl is handsome, ain't she?" "Yes, purty good looking." "And she's "been senW away to school?" "Yes." "And always had good clothes?" "Wall?" "Well, do you s'pose she's going to fall in love with anybody in or around this town of Long Hill?" "But why not?" "Why not? Can you make a bar'l out o' straw? Can you make a gal like Irene Stewart fall in Jove with an old widower with six children on his hanfls?" "But there are young men,", protest ed the cooper. "Yes, there is Dan' Skelly of -the dairy. He's- got one eye and a pair of ears that stick out like saucers nail ed to his head. Dan hain't to blame, but what gal is going to fall in love with him? There's Pete Blakely, the young butcher. They say he can kill a calf as well as another, but he s bow-legged, half-deaf, and isn't mak ing over a dollar a day. There is Mose Ridder, who works in the sawmill and knows jest nuff that George Washing ton hain't president of the United States today. 'Do you mean to tell me that John Stewart's orphan gal is go ing to fall in love with him?" "Wall, what in 'creatron is she going to do?" I'll tell you. She's got an aunt, who is a widow, living over in Medina county, and the gal is going there to live with her until "Until what?" "Until the right feller comes along." Miss Irene's Aunt Cynthia lived on and ran a farm. She was a hard worker and a strong-minded woman, and she had) married almost without love, and certainly without romance. Her neighbors said she was hardheart ed and a driver, and seemed utterly without pity, .but they were mistaken. She had loved her brother John, and when his only child drove up to the gate she took her in her arms and said: "You poor child, you, but you shall have a home -with me for life, and I will be a kind mother to you!" Much had been said about Aunt Cynthia's stinginess, but when she learned that her niece was coming to live with her she had bought a parlor organ, musics a new carpet, and even several books of fiction she had seen advertised. She had. gone to far as to use a part of the tax money she had laid away in the kitchen clock to send away for a bra'sa bed and a real mat tress, the first thing of their kind to be used for ten miles around. When farmers and their wives drove up and came in and asked to see the won derful exhibition,. Aunt Cynthia stood up very straight. "They cost fifteen dollars, but I was bound to have 'em if I had to sell a cow!" she said proudly. 'And your niece is an orphan?" "Yes. Mother -died five years ago and her father only lately. Poor John! Me was a mercnant over at Long Jtinl. He sold calico so cheap that he busted up and hung himself and left this girl all alone." "And you are going to give her a home?" "I just am that!" "But can she do housework?" "If she can I shan't let her, beyond shelling a few peas now and then. I don't take in orphans to make hired help of them!" It s very kind of you. "Well, mebbe 'tis, and yet it's onlv doing one's duty. Besides, I am grow ing old and am lonsesome without anybody to talk to. And, say, dont you ask her anything about her fath er. I don't want her feelings hurt." A quarter of a mile below Aunt' Cynthia's farmhouse, and near the highway, was a- giant oak tree. The farmers spoke of it as the old oak tree, and it was a landmark to be seen for miles and miles. Miss Irene had sat and gazed at that towering tree for an hour at a time. but it had never occurred to her to make a closer acquaintance until one afternoon when she had a reply to ndite to the letter of a girl chum. She would do her writing at the foot of the old oak tree. 'Look out for tramps and snakes!" was the cauticn from Aunt Cvnthia. as the girl started down the road. Is there sentiment and romance about big trees? Does a man as a woman teel that "there is? If not, why was it that a farmer's hired man in the state of Ohio took his discharge sooner than put the axe to a magnifi cent old elm which he could remem ber back almost to his babyhood? as tne girl drew nearer and nearer to the old oak the more it appealed to her, and when at last she reached it she stood with awe in her heart. More than a hundred years they said, and It had been buffeted by hundreds of gales. "Chatter! Chatter! Chatter! It was a gray squirrl up the trunk a few feet and looking at the girl, defying her to come nearer. "But I will!" she laughed, as she plunged into the bushes. The squirrel whisked around to the other side of the tree. By this time she had reached the trunk of the tree and passed around it the quirrel had made his way to the highest limb. The girl found some thing else, however something that perhaps not one in a thousand who passed it had knowledge of. At the height of her chin was a cup or hol low that would hold a quart of water. It was a wound that the tree had re ceived in some way years before, and the bark had grown again on all sides to leave a hiding spot. The hand that was thrust in felt and drew out a small quantity of dead leaves, but it was too low down for safety, and no wild thing had pre-empted it for a nest. "Why, it might be turned into a postoffice!" mused the girl. "It would be rather silly!" "Suppose some woodchopper found it!" "Suppose some farmer's hired man found it!" "Suppose suppose "I'm a silly goose, but I'm going to try it!" And instead of -writing to her girl chum she wrote: "A maiden who lives near here is waiting for her Sir Knight to come and bear her away." "There!" was half defiantly ex claimed as the note was deposited in the cup. y- As Miss Irene got up to wander through the woods a bit and go home, the squirrel descended a few feet and seemed to call out: "Silly! Silly! Silly!" "Of course, it is," said the girl in reply, .."and I'll come back tomorrow and tear it up. There are no Sir Knights any mere." Next day Miss Irene went back to the old oak and took her note from the postoffice and read it with a sigh and a blush. Two or three times she started to tear it up. but held her hand and finally restored it to the cup. And .days and weeks and months passed away, and the girl did not re turn to the old oak tree. She tried to content herself with looking at it from a distance. It was a young girl romance, and she had a right to keep it locked in h'er breast. One afternoon the gray squirrel was chattering away- as he cut circles around the trunk of the old oak. There was nothing to make him afraid. There was no other gray squirrel in the woods to dispute his right to the tree, as had been de cided by battle. "Chatter! chatter! chatter!" A young man was passing in an auto. "Stop a minute," he said to his chauffeur. "By George! that's a fine old tree! And that's the first squirrel I've seen for years. I'd sure like his head for an ornament." He had a pistol in his pocket, and he drew it and approached the tree. "Hello! Here is the old fellow's nest! I wonder if any of the family is at home." Very cautiously a hand was inserted. There might be teeth there awaiting it. No, there were only a few acorns and a bit of paper. "A maiden who lives near here The" young man walked back to the road and stood looking at Aunt Cyn thia's house a long time. Finally he said to the chauffeur: "We will go back to that house." And from between the morning glories climbing over the lattice of the veranda Miss Irene peered out and saw him and knew that her Sir Knight had found her appeal and had come in answer to it.

TIIORNE OPENS IT Attorney for Shippers Presents "Side in Hearing. Second Phase of Chicago Rate Case Begins Today. Chicago, 111.. March 30. Clif ford Thorne, chairman of .the Iowa railroad commission, in behalf of the protesting shippers in the west ern railroad freight rate hearing out lined before Interstate Commerce Commissioner W. M. Daniels today the opposition of the shippers to the freight rate increases proposed by 41 western railroad systems. The railroads are seeking to have present rates increased on certain commodities, which, they assert, at present do not yield them a fair profit. The total increases, if granted, ac cording to the railroads, would in crease their revenue $10,000,000 a year. The railroads have been presenting their side of the case since March 4. Mr. Thome's statement at the hearing today was the beginning of the ship pers' case. He said in part: "We will now present to you the evidence on behalf of the producers, and consumers of this western part i the nation. "Our object is not to make a general onslaught upon the credit of these western railroads. The result of our efforts will be rather to help establish the soundness and strength of their credit. "As indicating conditions in the ter ritory involved, only the testimony of the presidents of the Chicago Great Western railroad, the Missouri Pacific railway and the Missouri, Kansas Texas railway was introduced. Noth ing further need' be said. This com mission and the public know wheth er they represented typical lines of weaklings. This procedure is in marked contrast to that pursued' by the eastern railroads, where the chief executives of .the representative lines testified. "We will show that three-fourths of the traffic in this territory is being handled by companies that are earn ing, above all operating expenses, all taxes and all interest on bonds and debt, from 6 to 16 percent on all their capital stock outstanding in the hands of the public. QUAKER MEDITATIONS. From the Philadelphia Record. Absence makes the heart grow fonder, especially of money. Love at first sight is generally prompted by what we don t know about people. Any man with a wooden leg will tell you he'd rather be that way than be a blockhead. Blobbs "Screechleigh is certainly a rimsned musician." Siobbs Good! Who killed him?" The fellow who doesn't know when he is licked probably wouldn't stay licked if he did know. If you can't have your own way it doesn't do you much good to get in the way of someone else.

TOPPV COTTONTAIL LEAVES THE FARMYARD. .Toppy Cottontail waked up one fine spring morning and indulged in a long, big stretch. He stretched his legs, his head, his tail and his ears; then he winked both eyes and sat up to look around. "That feels better," he said to himself, "but I certainly do feel lazy, very lazy!" Old man rooster, the boss of the farmyard (when the turkey cock's back was turned) was going by just then 'and heard what Toppy said. "I should think you would feel lazy," he said scornfully, "a great healthy rab bit like you, staying in the farmyard all the time and being fed! You ought to be out hustling for your own grub then, you'd feel better!" "Now I like that!" replied Toppy crossly, "I suppose you forage all over the forest for YOUR food so you know all about it!" For you see, old man rooster was so lazy that he wouldn't walk across the yard for food (unless he took a notion to) and the farmer's wife humored him and fed him where ever he happened to be. "A lot you know about hunting food and taking care of yourself." Old man rooster didn't mind Toppy"s scorn not he! He felt himself too distinguished to care what common rabbits said or thought. But he did answer. "I?" he asked carelessly, "why should I hunt food? I was made to be king of the farmyard. I am used to farmyards. But you were made to be a wild creature. Farmyards are not for you." And with that he walked grandly away. Toppy Cottontail watched his de parting back thoughtfully. "Now maybe there is some sense to what He savs even if he is such a fool!" he said to himself. "I surely am tired of this farmyard and of the same thing hap pening over and over again all the time. I guess I'll leave and live in the woods." v Just as he said that, who should walk by but Mrs. Duck. "What's this you're saying to yourself, Toppy Cot tontail? Haven't I taught you that it is very rude to mumble?" "Yes, you have," replied Toppy, "you've taught me a lot of good things since my mother was shot and I came to live at this farmyard, but I guess I PERFECT fa HE DIED BY OWN HAND, SAYS JURY tContlmied from Pag One. J He wanted a room but I told him that the only room I had was promised to another party and that I did not think it would be just right to let him have it, anyway. He ate an apple and seemed in ordinary spirits. It was just while the whistle was blowing at 1 2 o'clock that he asked me for some letters he had written me and I had started to get them from a shelf. I was at the opposite corner of the room with my back to him, reaching for the letters, when I heard the first shot. I looked around and exclaimed: 'What are you doing, Dave?' "He was standing facing away from me and didn't answer and al- most immediaately he fired the other shot. Then he partly turned and sunk to the floor, tossing the gun to the bed. He lay stretched on the floor be tween the bed and a couch facing op posite to the way he had stood when he shot himself. I ran to him and asked him why he had done it. "He said: 'I wanted to die.' "Then he said: 'You'd better call the police.' "I was so scared I couldn't think of the name of any doctor so I ran to the telephone and asked central to send me one. Then I ran out in the street and called the first man I saw. He came in and told me I'd better get the police. I telephoned to the sta tion and then sent for. Frank Brown, my ex-husband. He was in North To- peka but he came over right away." Coroner Rinehart verified the story so far as he had personal knowledge and described the wound as did Dr. O. F. Marcotte, who assisted him in the autopsy held Monday afternoon. The bullet fired at tne second shot had ranged downward, entering the left breast and lodging under the skin near the small of the back. It had pierced the heart. County Attorney Garvey himself tes tified to having traced the course of the first bullet, which grazed the dead man's left side, glanced along the seat of a rocking chair and struck a sheet iron stove near where Mrs. Hand had stood. Frank Brown, from whom Mrs. Hand was divorced last summer, took the stand to say that Storrler had been a friend of theirs before their separation and had roomed in apart ments let by them at different times. He declared their relations had always been friendly and denied any knowl edge of recent events which might have inspired Storrier to take his own life. Were Only Good Friends. In a communication to the State. Journal today Mrs. Hand asked per mission to contradict an impression that her relations with Storrier hatl been any more intimate than those or dinarily existing between good friends. She denied that Storrier had ever gone to Wichita with her and said: "He was just a friend of the fam ily, and nothing else." POINTED PARAGRAPHS. From the Chicago News. It's a work of art to make art pay. Envy is the drippings from the en gine of success. Some men go to church just to get away from home. The wise man bottles his wrath and then loses the corkscrew.

"Oh dear, Toppy you mustn't!" ex claimed Mrs.' Duck, quackingly, "there is danger in the woods and hunger and and all sorts of dreadful things!" "If that's the case, then I'm sure I want to go!" cried Toppy determined ly, "I'm sick and tired of easy living. Thank you for being good to me Mrs. Duck, and some day maybe I'll come back and make you a visit." "Oh dear, Toppy you muittn't!" ex claimed Mm. Duck, quackingly. Mrs. Duck set up such a quacking that all the farmyard creatures heard her and came running to see what could be the matter. "He's going away!" she cried, "make him stay!" But Toppy was determined to o. so he told his friends good-by and start ed on his journey towards the wood, happy as could be and sure of interest ing adventures. And while all the farmyard creatures lamented .his going, old man rooster, who had given Mm the idea, calmly walked up and down the yard and said not a word!

Marie Tempest Coming. An amusement opportunity of un usual importance is John Cort's an nouncement that he will present England's foremost comedienne. Miss Marie Tempest, at the Grand opera house, April 8, in Edgar Selwyn's pop ular creation, "Nearly Married." a farce which most playgoers will recall has scored successes of long runs in both New York and Chicago. At the Hip Today and Tomorrow. The marvelous love story of "An tony and Cleopatra," as told in the George Kleine production of the Cines photo drama, is divinely human in its portrayal. The characters are nota bles of ancient history. Novelty Review. It was a popular bill at the Novelty the first half of the week, with five giod acts of vaudeville and a "Col. Heeza Liar" picture. You can't beat the H. L. comics. The bill was opened by Era'e Potts and Company, wrestlers, boxers and bag punchers. When the genial Mr. Potts hit five punching bag- at the same .time, he won over his audience. Potts and his partners gave a neat sparring exhibition. Second on the program were Willie Dunlay and Beseie Merrill. Dunlay is a comedian of a new class and his work at election day matinee nearly caused an uproar. His jokos were bright and newly patented and he put them over well. Ezra Kendall, jr.. and Gladys Hin kley presented a sketch. Kendall is the son of the late Ezra. Kendall, per haps the only comedian who could keep an audience laughing for two i hours at a time. The young fellow j at the Novelty probably inherits some of his late distinguished papa's ability. At any rate, as the messenger boy, he produced the giggles and ha, ha s necessary-Fourth on the bill was a single, Harry Sykes, a singing comedian. He warbled away in a good fashion, hav ing a pleasing voice and a nice reper toire of songs. The show closed with a harmonious and high class musical act. "The Ve netian Four." Three of the Italians were violinists and one a harpist and the melody they produced from their instruments made their act worth while. Their stage setting was good and their operatic selections, well ren dered, made them the top liners of the bill. S. J. Orphenm Review. A variation from the regular pro gram i3 shown at the Orpheum the first of this week. Instead of the- five reel feature film, two other pictures compose the program. Dainty Mary Pickford. one of the most popular movie actresses of the day is shown in the drama, "Lodging for a Night."

In se lecting a part of the film that most thoroughly reveals the sound quality of Mr. Barrymore's art, it is easy to enthuse over his semblance of intoxi cation an intoxication so complete that one lamp-post becomes triplets, that the keyhole in the front door dances illusively up and down the pan el, that the bed. when it is reached, combines the qualities of a merry-go-round and a canoe on the ocean. To morrow comes the renowned Fritzi Scheff. Railways Say That Is Reason for Low Rates on Rice. Chicago. March 3 0. The South western railroads were, pictured as benefactors in developing the country by witnesses at the interstate com merce commission hearing ot the west ern freight rate case today. Speaking in behalf of the railroad's proposed increase in the rates on rice used in the manufacture of beer from New Orleans, interior Louisiana. Texas and Arkansas. C. W. Owen, assistant general freight agent of the Louisiana and Texas railroad, and steamship company, testified that years ago the railroads purposely fixed rates unproi itably low to them in order to develop the country a.nd now that the industry has become self sustaining, the rail roads thought it reasonable that the rates should be on a basis to yield a fair return for the cost of transporta tion. The proposed increases range from 1 to 10 Vz cents a hundred pounds, spread, according to the railroads, to place the markets at Chicago. Kansas City, St. Louis and other points on an equal basis so far as rates are con cerned.. The total increase from this source, the witness said. would be JlS.aOi) a year, which is a part of the 10.000.000 which the 41 western rail road systems hope to add to their an nual revenue, if all the increases asked for are granted. EXPRESS RATE HEARING. The headquarters of the Texas A Pacific will remain in New Orleans, despite efforts of Dallas, Tex., which wants the offices. This was intimated by E. J. Pearson, new vice president of the road Ed P. Gray, formerly general fore man of the Santa Fe shops at Arkan sas City, died last week.

False Economy Perhaps you use an alum baking powder because you think it is cheaper and therefore more eco nomical. But is it? Leading food experts and medi cal authorities have for years declared that alum baking powders are not safe to be used. The chief European nations prohibit them altogether.

Royal Baking Powder, which is made from cream of tartar, adds only healthful qualities to the food. The difference in cost of a pan of biscuits or of a cake made with Royal Baking Powder as com pared with cheap alum or phos phate of" lime powders is about one cent, which is surely too small an amcjmt to warrant the risk.

The interstate commerce comrois-1 sion recently consented to reopen the) old express case wherein the commis- j sion fixed a new method of basing ex-1 press rates and revised the practices of the express companies. The rehearing will be chiefly upon the method of j basing express rates. In the original decision the commission fixed prices j upon the principle that there should j be a terminal charge of 20 cents for each package handled and a mileage charge of 2 cents. The- express com panies desire to reverse these two charges and have a terminal charge of '2 5 cents for each package and a mileage charge of 20 cents. Incident ally the express companies will re view the whole situation and ask for further relief. A revision of a large number of sta tions between express zones in Ala bama. Arizona. California, Colorado, Georgia. Kansas. Kentucky. New Mex ico. North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania. Texas. tTtah. Virginia and Washington has been announced by the interstate commerce commis sion. By revising the zones in which the various stations are located the commission has met the request of the express companies for a more equita ble revision of the express rates be tween these localities. For the greater part, the localities1 are small. The express companies were gives until May 1 within which to file, upon ten days' notice, the revised tariffs. FAIR SLATED FOR RE-ELECTION.

IS THE SANTA FE FOR SALE? Ripley Says Road in Market If Price Is Right. San Diego. CaL, March 30- In an interview. President E. P. Ripley of the Santa Fe system, who is staying for a few days at Coronado, said that the Santa Fe would sell its system to the state if a satisfactory offer were made for it. President Ripley said that the state would do better to buy the Santa Fe or the Southern Pacific if a railroad was wanted, rather than the Western Pacific that will need development after acquired. He said the Santa Fe has been for sale for the past five years. Mr. Ripley said this would obviate railroad baiting by the legislature and he thought it would be the best thing for the stockholders' interests. Georgia Railway ReceiTersbip. Augusta. Ga. March 30.

Gray hair, however handsome, de notes advancing agre.uWe 'alI know the advantages of a youthful appear ance. Your hair is your charm. It makes-or mars the face. When it fades, turns gray and looks dry, wispy and scraggly. just a few applications of Sage Tea and Sulphur enhances its appearance a hundred-fold. Don't stay gray! Look young: Either prepare the tonic at home or get from any drug store a 50-cent bot tle of "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound." Thousands of folks rec ommend this ready-to-use prepara tion, because it darkens the hair beau tifully and removes dandruff, stops scalp itching and falling hair; be sides, no one can possibly tell, as it darkens so naturally and evenly. You moisten a sponge or soft brush with it, drawing this through the hair, tak ing one small strand at a time. By morning the gray hair disappears: after another application or two, its natural color is restored and it be comes thick, glossy and lustrous, and you appear years younger. Adv.

Our Vriccs Salt Lake City, after spending several months in North Topeka visiting friends and relatives;' According, to the police officers less "rowdyism" was shown around the polls in Nort,h Topeka Monday than for a number of years. Only one ar gument in which the use of fists were brought into play was seen. Two col ored men started a scrap over the re spective merits of their candidates, on the corner of Laurent and Kansas avenue, Monday morning. A police officer was standing near by and the scrap was soon called off, with no damage done. Albert Wooster of Silver Lake was cn the North side Monday attending to business. James Evans has moved from 109 West Fourteenth street, to 905 North Kansas avenue. Frank Miller has returned to his home in Kiro after spending a short time on the North side.

According to Boyd Pollom, county commissioner, it would be more eco nomical for the county to have oil roads than gravel. The expense for keeping a gravel road in repairs for a year, according to Mr. Pollom, is about $75, while an oil road can be kept in good condition at an expense of $25 a year. WILL SUE H.E.DEAN Attorney General Will Try to Collect Fair Salary. Governor Capper Requested That Money Be Collected. Suit to collect from H. E. Dean of Kansas City. Kansas, a claim of $2. 420, alleged to have been illegally paid to him as secretary of the Panama Pacific exposition commission, will be filed in a few days by S. M. Brewster, attorney general. The suit will be filed against Dean at the personal re quest of Governor Capper. Dean has resigned as secretary of the commis sion. The payment of a salary to Dean as secretary of the commission created a sensation when aired on the floor of the senate during the recent legisla tive session. Dean's friends contended that he was entitled to the money, but the attorney general ruled other wise and held that the money should be returned to the state. Subsequent to this investigation. Dean resigned. This week Governor Capper sent a letter to S. M. Brewster, attorney general, directing the filing of the suit to collect the $2,420 alleged to have been illegally paid to the Kansas City man by members of the commission. General Brewster stated today that the suit would be filed this week. Since the resignation of Dean, the secretary's work has been handled by Bank Commissioner Benson, a mem ber of the fair commission. RITE BODIES HERE Large Gathering of Masons in Topeka Next Month.

The time to buy that Suit Is NOW! A NEW IUJ. COACH Olcott, of Yale, Chosen to Pilot the Jayhawkers. Has Been Active in Football Work All His Life. Lawrence, Kan., March 30. Her man Olcott, graduate of Yale and a well known football player and coach, was chosen football coach of the Uni versity of Kansas at noon today by the board of administration upon the recommendation of Athletic Director W. O. Hamilton. Olcott is at present practicing law in New York city. His contract calls for. three years' service, and Jack Wheaton, last year's K. U. coach, also a graduate of Yale, says the selection of Olcott is the greatest event that has happened in Lawrence in a football way in year's. Twenty-five candidates were up for consideration and Olcott was chosen as the best and most promising on the list. His selection means that the whole coaching system at K. U. will be rev olutionized. In fact, it is hoped that a real coaching system, something the Jayhawkers have never- had, will be built up and standardized, so that alumni members who enter the coach ing field in preparatory schools after they -leave the university will know just how to coach and train the men who show ability and intend to enter the university. A Brilliant Career. Olcott's football career has been one continuous success since Ije first be came a devotee of the game at the tender age of 8 years. When only 15 years old he was a member of the team of the College of the City of New York, and he entered Yale in 1898. During the seasons of 1899, 1900 and 1901 he was a regular member of the Old Eli eleven, playing tackle, guard and center positions. He was a mem ber of the famous team of Captain Jordon Brown that defeated both Har vard and Princeton by big scores in 1900. In 1902 and 1903, Mr. Olcott coached the eleven ofi the North Caro lina university, and had two very suc cessful seasons, his team defeating the University of Virginia eleven both years. At Annapolis. In 1904 and 1905 he was field coach at the Annapolis Naval academy and was assistant coach there in 1906. In 190 7 he began the practice of law in New York City and spent his vaca tion time each year from that time on coaching the team of the University of the City of New York. In 1910 this team went through the season unde feated under his generalship, tied Yale and was ranked as the twelfth best team in the country. In 1912 he also acted as advisory coach at the same school. Mr. Olcott is 36 years old, 6 feet tall and weighs 220 pounds. During his college days he was also an expert hammer thrower and a member of the Yale rowing crew. It is very probable that Former Coach Wheaton will act as advisory coach next fall in order to help Mr. Olcott get the team under way. WASHBURN-AGGIE TALK Dual Event Between Topekans and K. S. A. C. Tonight. A dual debate. K. S. A. C. vs. Wash burn, will be held tonight. The Aggie men's team comes to Topeka and the Washburn girl's team goes to Man hattan. The debate here is to be held in the Washburn chapel at 8 o'clock. The question is, "Resolved, that the United State should, within a reason ble time (fiye years), grant independ ence to the Philippines." The Wash burn men take the affirmative and the Washburn girls, at. Manhattan, the negative. The men of the Washburn team are Glen Logan, captain. Richard Rider and Martin Miller.

XYiUard anil Johnson Put on Feather Touches for Big Fight. Havana. March' 30. With the battle for the world's heavyweight cham pionship less than one week away it is set for April 5 Jack Johnson and Jess -Willard today began reducing their training routine. Willard was so fit that he virtually laid off and planned no. work aside from a walk and run of a few miles at 7 o'clock. The remainder of the day was spent in. resting and sightsee ing. Johnson took some short sprints on the road and went through his regular public training in the stadium in the afternoon. Both men say the climatic condi tions of Havana have helped them ar rive at an edge quickly. Each man is said to be in splendid condition with regard to organs and muscles. The Cuban government officials are Cured His RUPTURE f was badly ruptured while lifting a trunk several years ago. Doctors said my only hope of cure was an operation. Trasses did- nie no good.

The will have oxygen and other stimulants to revive the fighters in case' of an unusual knock out or a fall. They say, however, that they will not- interfere with the proper termination of the battle ac cording to the code of prize ring. The relatively gigantic size of the pugilists evidently has impressed Cuban offi cials with the idea that the struggle of next. Monday will be unusually savage. A group., of Cuban ministers repre senting various i evangelical missions centered in Havana have filed a pro test with government officials against the fight, and some American minis ters living here have addressed an open letter to American tourists as fellow countrymen protesting against their support of the bout. No particu lar attention is being paid to these protests by the Cuban officials or the fight promoter. The hotels of Havana are beginning to fill up with early arrivals from oth er parts of the island and from the southern states. Willard money is beginning to appear and it is expected to reduce the present odds of 3 and T. R. COMING BACK The Colonel Is Headed Toward the Republican Camp. He Is Anxious to Defeat Wilson and Bryan. Washington, March 30. Republi cans are in hjgh feather because of their belief that Col. Theodore Roose velt is in a fair way to a speedy re turn to the Republican party to the extent at least of support of its can didate for president. The colonel be lieves the defeat of President Wilson and Secretary Bryan necessary to safe guard the interests of this county and to- extricate it from perils of interna tional complications that must prove dangerous and hurtful. There is no intention on the part of the Republicans to nominate former President William Howard Taft. Such action unquestionably would be "the red rag to the bull" so far as the colo nel is concerned, i Indeed, it is known he -would rather accept William Barnes, jr., of New York, or Boies Penrose of Pennsylvania, bad as he regards them, than his successor in the White House. So far as the colo nel has given any indications, he is still a progressive, Dut ne realizes tne third party has .lost a great deal of popular support, r- IIc Mentions Xamos. In his recent telegram to the senate ship purchase bill lobby investigating committee, the colonel mentioned as among those who have been watchful of the best interests of the country Senators Root, Lodge, Burton, Borah and Smoot, all pillars in the regular Republican organization and from whom he had cut adrift politically. Some comment v as occasioned by his inclusion of Senator Smoot in the galaxy of "honorable mention" be cause of his former well-remembered bitter differences with the Utah sena tor whom he held as the" right-hand man to Senator sAIdrich -in opposition to his policies- i -1 The report, of ;the-.winning back of Colonel Roosevelt brought joy to the few Republican leaders still here and depression to the, Democratic leaders. The latter have been hoping for a third-party candidate to split the Re publican vote as in 1912. and without Roosevelt as leader there will be no such party. There is no whisper that Colonel Roosevelt is looking to 1916 for him self. Friends of Senator John W. Weeks, of Massachusetts, have been working quietly in his interest for some months, and it is known they are about ready to spring ijis candidacy for the Republican nomination. THEY WANT MRS. PERRY Superintendent of Beloit School Urged Woman's Clubs. Governor Caper was today urged to appoint Mrs. Julia B. Perry as super intendent of the Girls Industrial school at Beloit to succeed Miss Frank Wilson, appointed during the Hodges administration. Miss Wilson's appoint ment was for a term of two years and her term expires. July 1. It is hardly probable that a change in the office will be made before that time. The appeal to Governor Capper to day came from some of the most prominent and widely knowh women in Kansas who have snown a deep concern in the affairs of the school. Eight former presidents of the Fed eration of Women's Clubs have en dorsed Mrs. Perry and asked for her appointment at the hands of the gov ernor. Mrs. Perry was superintend ent of the industrial school for girls during the Stubbs administration. Among former presidents of the federation of clubs who have endorsed Mrs. Perry's candidacy are: Mrs. S. R. Peters, Newton; Lucy B. Johnston, Topeka; Mrs. Noble L. Prentis, New ton; Mrs. John C. McClintock, To peka; Mrs. W. D. Atkinson, Parsons; Mrs. James Humphrey, Junction City; May Belleville Brown, Sajina, and Mrs. C. C. Goddard, Leavenworth. THE WEATHER RECORD.

HE WON'T TALK BACK. Wilson Declines to Reply to Taft or Roosevelt. Washington, March 30. President Wilson thinks some sort of etiquette should be built up to govern relations between presidents of the United States and former presidents. He ex pressed the sentiment today in saying he did not think it proper to reply to recent comments upon his adminis tration by former Presidents Taft and Roosevelt. When at his weekly conference with the Washington correspondents today the president was reminded of Mr. Taft's recent comment on the admin istration's course toward the Philip pines and Colonel Roosevelt's remarks on tne snip dui, tne presiaem. urunneu to reply and said, with, a laugh, he hoped that after he left the office of president his successors would not ex press oplnlQEUJ on what he might say about them. TALLION IS IN CAMP. Hockey Playing Outfielder Arrives at Noon Today FTom Cold North. Zeke Tallion, the Sault Ste. Marie hockey playing outfielder of the local baseball club, arrived in the city at noon today from his northern haunts and reported as being in first class shape. Tallion is one of the all around men from last year's team, and is- best noted for his willingness to work wherever he is place without ever so much as a murmur. Last year he worked at shortstop, third base and in the outfield and made a good field ing average in all positions. He also swung the stick with a fair measure of success, making a batting average of .265.

With the occupancy of the gover nor's chair by the publisher of the Topeka Daily Capital; with the nomination of one of his editorial staff for mayor and another one of his staff for commissioner. Colonel Xertor. and the candidacy of his cir- citation manager. Wilson, for sheriff, it looks as though the state, county: and city were in a good way to be fair ly well Capital-ized. Owing to the new state law and the strict enforcement of a federal regula tion, feed dealers and millers are not permitted to use second hand feed bags for bran, shorts or corn chop. This is on account of the possibility of spreading the foot and mouth dis ease. The mills, as far as possible, will use new cotton sack3 as there are so many ways that cotton cloth can be made use of around a home or dairy. The burlap or jute bags are of little value for any other purpose. BIGGEST IN HISTORY. Large .High School Clas Will Be Graduated Jane 4.

Gone are the days in Topeka when a little brown jug of amber liquid or a keg tastily draped with wet gunyy sacks played an important part in election or primary celebrations For the first time in the history of Topeka, so far as is known, no drunks were arrested by the police Monday even ing the night following the primary election in the present city campaign. Chief of Police Ross, who has been a peace officer in Topeka for twenty years or more, is authority for the above statement and says that he does not remember an election night thtt liquor played so small a part in the evening celebration. The last drunk arrested Monday was taken into custody and lodged in th9 municipal menagene at 3 o clock Monday afternoon. There were no ar- rests Monday evening or this morning. Boyle Fined $15. J. J. Boyle, the Confederate Civil war veteran who held up police court proceedings Monday morning and re called with G. A. Huron, police judge, incidents of the Civil war, was ilon- i day evening fined $15 by Judge ilu ron for drunkenness. Boyle pleaded not guilty when ar raigned Monday morning. On trial Monday evening he did not have a word to say and sat in silence as the fine was imposed. I'nderworld Quiet. Topeka's underworld was quiet Monday evening and today. No com plaints of any importance were re- ceived at the police station. Mrs. Thorpe, matron at the city jail, and for many years connected with welfare and police work in To peka. accounts for the peaceful condi tion of the city's trouble makers by j the number or accidents and the sen sational suicide which took place Mon day. "These people are naturaUy super stitious." said Mrs. Thorpe, "and a murder or suicide is always followed by a lull in the activities of the law less element." They Forget? The old adage, that there is honor among thieves may be well applied to bootleggers and their regular patrons in this city. In the last month that Judge Huron has been keeping a record of places where drunks that were brought be fore him purchased liquor, he has been unable to obtain the names of persons who sold the wet goods. A man tried in police court this morning admitted that he purchased whisky but when questioned he "forgot" who sold the liquor. LITTJ-K PICKS. Loyd Harris of Xorth Van Burea street, was fined S15 in police court this morning for drunkenness. Harris was brought to the Ross cafe Mor.fi.iy afternoon by Officer Brush. Accord ing to the police. Harris has been a j frequent caller at the place recently. February 27 he was arrested and fined Jia. March 18 he was arrested f.-r drunkenness and fined $10. He was i released Saturday and was back again Monday. "You're hitting a pretty high gait lately. said the iudge. t "Tour fine is 15." j ""Morris Qverhood entered a piea of guilty m police court for drunkenness j Monday afternoon and was fined Si1) j by Judge Huron. i "Sadie "Helm, alias Matilda. Hawker i et al.-. was fined il9 for drunkenness j in police court by Judge Huron Mon- j day afternoon. She plead guilty to the charge. j A. C. Ancii. and not A. C. Vancii was fined for drunkenness in police court Monday morning. The erroneous 4 statement to the effect that Vancii j w3 fined was due to an error on the docket at the police station.

Former Governor of Indiana Is on Program. The third and last division of the Flying Squadron of America which was in Topeka today will conclude the sessions of the now famous organiza tion in this city at the Auditorium to night. Enthusiastic audiences have greeted the three sections of the Fly ing Squadron, the first of which com posed of Dr. Charles M. Sheldon and Daniel A. Poling as the speakers- was here Sunday and drew packed houses. The third group of the Flying Squadron arrived in Topeka this morning. Its members are: J.

Stewart, wife of Oliver W. Stewart, accompanies the third group. She has been active for years in suffrage work, having' served as j secretary of the national organization and for many years as president of the Illinois Suffrage association, i "The saloon is defeating the wom an's business by cursing the unborn." declared Dr. Carolyn Geisel of Battle Creek, Mich., Monday night. "The saloon is destroying the American home by defiling the American man. The American voter is called the de fender of the American home. When he votes to license the saloon, he is the destroyer of the home. "So long as there is a single wet spot on the map of America, the local self government of every dry spot will be menaced and meddled with by that wet spot." continued Dr. Ira Landrith of Xashville, Tenn.. Monday night. Justice Marshall of the supreme court presided Monday -night. The early primary returns were announced at the meeting. The singing was led by Frederick Butler, former basso of the Alice Xeilsen Opera company. His wife acted as accompanist. Employment of Men. "The obvious thing is that the sa loon, distillery and brewery employ men."' said Oliver W. Stewart of Chi cago this afternoon.. "This obvious fact, as in the past, leads many into 1 error. It has been assumed that any thing that employs men and pays wages is necessarily help to indun try. Such, however, is not necessar ily the case as on second thought ev ery one realizes. Address by lux-Governor Hanly. In speaking of the liquor traffie J. Frank Hanly. former governor of In diana, said: j "I hate it for the mental ruin it im- poses upon its victims; for its spiritual blight; for its moral degradation. I hate it for the crimes it commits; for the homes it destroys; for the hearts It breaks. I hate it for the malice It j plants in the hearts of men; for its i poison, for its bitterness, for the dead sea fruit with which it starves the souls. "I hate it for the grief it causes wo manhood the scalding tears. the j hopes deferred, the strangled aspira tions, its burden of want and care." Fight "Monster" to eatb. I "When we consider the vast amotint j of poverty and suffering on every hand which is due to the saloon, ea.n we call ourselves true American i: triots unless we vow to fight this mon ster to the death?" asked J. B. Lewis of Boston. "Shall we not say. like the color, bearer who was asked if he would carry the flag into battle. "I will, or report to the throne of God the reason why!'

Appeals Today to Governor and Attorney GeneraL CoL J. X. Harrison, former depart ment commander, has been appointed as a member of the board of manager of the state soldiers' heme at Dodge City and the job will cost him just exactly J 18.35 a month." The former department commander's loyalty and patriotism were brought to the acid test today when CoL Harrison visited the state house and found that the legisla ture pledged to economy and efficiency had fixed his job in a manner that would lose him money in the face of scientific economy. Two years ago the legislature placed the soldiers' home and Mother Bicker dyke home under jurisdiction of the state board of controL Last winter the legislature returned the institutions to control of the board of managers. But Representative Shuey of Decatur county, personal representative of the old soldiers on the floor of the house, fixed the law to provide that no mem ber of the board should receive more than $50 a month for his "services. From this salary the members should pay their own expenses. The same Shuey was in the tight for increasing the pay of the supreme court and dis trict judges. After the law was passed. CoL Har rison was appointed by Governor Cap per as a member of the board. This morning the well known Topekan visited the governor and attorney gen eral concerning his new job. After a careful calculation. Harrison found that his job win cost him just $18.35 a month, or $220.20 a year above his salary. The same legislature which provided that CoLHarrison must spend $220 a year as a matter of patriotism, increased the salaries of a number of state house officials. "All I have to show for the job is a commission and a beautiful yellow seal," sighed Harrison. "And it will cost me $18.35 a month besides my time and salary from the state." FREE TRAVELOGUE.

It is given under the auspices of the art department of the Topeka Federation of Women, and the pic tures are hung in the art room on the fifth floor of the Mills building. The exhibit contains thirty-six oil paint ings of Charles P. Gruppe, who now has a studio in New York. Gruppe is a native or canaaa, nut nas uvea much abroad. He spent twenty-eight years in Holland, and his work fol lows, more or less closely, the Dutch school of art. The exhibit lacks the monotony that is the often attendant of a display of pictures that are all the work of one artist, as there is a vari ety of subjects and variety in their treatment. The exhibit does, not have money making as its object. It is brought here as an educational and cultural influence. A nominal admission fee of 10 cents is charged to help pay the ex pense of bringing the exhibit to the city. The amount made has :iot been found to cover the expense at previous exhibits, but it assists the department somewhat in meeting the cost. The exhibit will be open from ten in the morning to six in the afternoon each day, and the first day of the ex hibit all the members oi tne an department will act as hostesses. Throughout the exhibit, which will continue about ten days, some mem bers of the department will be in at tendance to receive the visitors. Mrs. F. W.

KEEP URIC ACID OUT OF JOINTS Tells Rheumatism Sufferers to Less Meat and Take Salts. Eat Rheumatism is easier to avoidthan to cure, states a well-known authority. We are advised to dress warmly; keep the feet dry. avoid exposure; eat less meat, but drink plenty of good water. Rheumatism is a direct result of eat ing too much meat and other rich foods that produce uric acid which is "ab sorbed into the blood. It is the func tion of the kidneys to filter this acid from the blood and cast it but in tha urine; the pores of the skin are also a means of freeing the blood of this im purity. In damp and chilly cold weath er the skin pores are closed thus forcing the kidneys to do double work, they become weak and sluggish and faii to eliminate the uric acid which keeps accumulating and circulating through the system, eventually settling in the joints and muscles causing stiffness, soreness and pain called rheumatism. At the first twinge of rheumatism get from any pharmacy about four ounces of Jad Salts; put a tablespoonf uf in a glass of water and drink before break fast each morning for a week. This is said to eliminate uric acid by stimulat ing the kidneys to normal action, thus ridding the blood of these impurities. Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless and is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia and Is used with excellent results by thou sands of folks who are subject to rheu matism. Here you have a pleasant, effervescent lithia-water drink which helps overcome uric acid and is bene ficial to your kidneys as well. Adv.

Leaders of both the Democratic and Republican parties will try to dodge the issue, it is quietly asserted, but in view of the recent ains of prohibitionists in wet territory It is probable that the issue will be a real live problem In 1916. Whether the liquor question creeps Into the party platforms next year is causing the men lnteresieu m al affairs to sleep uneasily when they think of the issues. If the political rinne carried to Kansas from Wash ington is at all correct and it comes from some well established authorities William J. Bryan will not seen a ary plank in the Democratic platform next vpr Tn fart it is asserted that Bryan will oppose the proposition either openly or indirectly, ne is emu have quietly urged that the various states should work out tneir own sal vation on the liquor question. Bryan's quiet but seeming positive opposition to prohibition as a mix ture in national politics, may leave the cause without a really big cham in the Bourbon Darty. President Wilson is opposed to the dragging of either prohibition or sutrrage into na tional affairs. And so the Democrats who have journeyed home from Wash ington are worried about the question In next year's battle. The party in Kansas has taken a stand for the measure. But if their national organ ization dodges or takes a positive stand against prohibition, congres sional candidates on the Democratic ticket see a rough campaign ahead of them. Face a ew Situation. The position of the Republicans is but little better. In Kansas they shout and yell for prohibition. It is a popu lar issue at home. In Washington they voted for the Hobson resolution because their constituents were for the measure. But now they face a. new situation. Of the Republican presidential pos eibilities, Cummins of Iowa is the only man who has championed prohibi tion. He has been severely criticised In certain localities. Other candi dates are hardly expected to display the same fervor for the anti-liquor cause. And thus the Republicans face a fight in their national convention. Before the Kansas congressional as pirant is this situation: To dodge, means trouble at home; to endorse the issue, means trouble in the wet states. Next year the Republicans want a president returned to the White House. To win, they want to dodge as many embarrassing Issues as possi ble. And just at this time, prohibition is loaded with dynamite so far as the judgment of the politician is con cerned. Of course the politician may be wrbng. But his opinion will carry weight in the national convention. The Third Party. Then, too, is the question of the third party. If the Progressives go to bat in 1916 with state and national tickets, will they champion prohibi tion? Answer the question and some of the Kansas men who have returned from Washington will breathe a bit easier. Of course the Kansas congress man and the Kansas United States sen ator are for prohibition. Certainly. But behind closed doors at the nation al convention next year when prohibi tion is a big vital issue well, maybe then the matter may be debatable. One solution has been offered. But It is a vague, uncertain solution. In fact, it may not solve at all. It has been suggested that the next congress can dodge the issue so far as 1916 is concerned by submitting the prohibition question to a vote in the states. Maybe that will keep the Issue on ice for another two years. Maybe it won't. In the recent fight ever the Hobson resolution, scores of members begged and pleaded to with hold the vote until after election. A vote was not taken until December. But the issue didn't seem to die in December. It came right back to haunt the congressmen and now It is camping on the trail of the presidential possibilities and the men who will write the 1916 platforms. Of course the stand of Kansas on I Household. Economy ;aj J: H"w Have taa Beat Crack i 5: Remedy mmd Save 3 kr :3 3: MakJa It at Uaae g national prohibition is clean cut and clear. Sure thing. But even In Kan sas there are men with the love of party in their heart and the fear of the voters in their souls who pray that the issue may not be raised In MONEYjjr SPUDS Raising Potatoes in Western Kansas Would Be Profitable. Results of Experiments Made at Tribune Station. Potatoes may be made a money- crop even in the extreme western part of Kansas if they are given proper at tention. It is to be regretted that only a few people in western Kansas attempt to grow potatoes in their gar dens, believes Charles E. Cassel, su perintendent of the Tribune substa tion. At Tribune, when potatoes were nlanted on wheat land or on fallow. good yields were usually secured. In 19 12, nine varieties or potatoes iei- ed at Tribune yielded from 52 to t bushels an acre. In 1913 the potato crop averaged 33 bushels, while in 1914 an average of 50 bushels an acre was secured. The Irish cobbler has nrnvBrt to he the best notato for west ern Kansas, averaging 61 1-3 bushels for the past three years at tne station. None of these potatoes were irrigated. Plant Them Deep. "Fairly deep planting is necessary in the west," says Mr. uassei, --De-cause of the drouth encountered. It pays to cut a large seed piece so as to give the young plant a gooa re serve food euddIv." When potatoes are grown under irrigated conditions, the water snouia be applied judiciously if the best re sults are to be obtained. One irriga tion before seeding is a good plan. The crop should not be irrigated again until the potatoes begin to form. Further irrigation need be ap plied only as the crop demands. Once or twice will generally De sumcient unless the natural rainfall is slight. Fine Ka.te.rs. "I believe that from 60 to 100 bush els of potatoes an acre may be grown in the extreme western part of Kan- s, said Mr. Cassel. The potatoes we have grown are of fine eating quality and are readily sold on the market. There is a good field for the selling of seed potatoes to the irri gated sections. Irrigated seed is not desired by farmers raising irrigated potatoes. It is well to secure potato seed from the drier parts of the state. The varieties tested and their yields last year were: Irish cobbler, 50 bushels an acre; early Ohio, 31 bushels an acre; triumph, 29 bushels an acre; rural New Yorker, 18 bush els an acre."
