TUESDAY EVENING- THIS EDITION 2 CENTS ft T LKANS TO ENTER THE WA All Are Expected to Join the Fight in May. Action Only Awaits Russia's Victory in Carpathians. RUMANIA AND ITALY TOGETHER Partition of Austria and Tur- j key Is End Sought. j Bulgaria Has Been Wavering Until Recently. By Henry Wood. N'ish. April 13. By the middle of May all the Balkan states may again be plunged into war for the third time in les3 than four years. This is the information I have ob tained from some of the leading po litical authorities of Servia and Greece. Greece, Bulgaria and Ru mania e.s well as Italy, they hold, must inevitably be drawn into the conflict if the war continues much longer. With equal certitude they de clare that all four countries will enter on the side of the allies. A decisive victory for the Russians in the pres ent Carpathian fighting may set the ball rolling. The Balkan states have two ends they feel they must at some time at tain. One is the expulsion for all time of the Turks from Europe and the di vision among themselves of what re mains of European Turkey. The oth ot is to wrest from Austria the prov inces of Bukowina and Transylvania. Rumania and Italy, according to re ports in diplomatic circles here, will enter the war simultaneously. For six months a secret agreement to that ef f Continued" on Page two. FIGHTING IN NORTH Another Battle in Progress for Possession of Ossowetz. Bombardment of the Fortress by Howitzers Is Begun. London. April 13. The German at tack on the Russian forces in the north near the Prussian frontier has been resumed and another battle is in progress for the possession of the im portant Russian fortress of Ossowetz. The abandonment of the former siege of this fortress was interpreted in Petrograd as indicating that the Ger mans had given up their attempt to break through the Russian line of de fenses and advance on Warsaw from the north, but it is now said semi officially, at the Russian capital, that the invaders have brought up howit zers and begun a new bombardment. One of the German siege batteries is said to have been damaged badly by the Russian guns. Five independent Austrian armies are operating along the Carpathian front. Petrograd newspapers publish pemi-of ficial details concerning this campaign to the effect that the vari ous Austrian armies are under direc tion of the German general staff. It is said also that Emperor William per sonally is supervising the work of the staff. In Bukowina heavy fighting is in progress, according to a Bucharest dispatch to Paris. Of two Austrian armored trains which advanced against the Russians yesterday, one is said to have been blown up and the other forced to withdraw after being damaged. The highest German authority in Rome has denied reports that Ger many is considering peace negotia tions. From this source comes the statement that the German general staff has made plans for resumption of the offensive with fresh vigor. The Italian military authorities have ordered army officers to dull the metal on their uniforms and scab bards. This is described as a measure usually adopted on the eve of war. NAME CARL MOORE. Kinsley Man Succeeds W. I Feler as Utilities Set-rotary. The public utilities commission to- day announced the appointment of Carl Moore of Kinsley as secretary of the commission to succeed W. P. Fed- r. The appointment was made ef fective May 1. Moore is well known in Seventh dis- trict Republican circles. He was chairman of the Edwards county com mittee last year and also served at the head of the congressional committee, i He was appointed by the commission over a long list of applicants. t Feder, who retires May 1, is also a Seventh district man and was former- ly editor of the Barton County Demo crat. He ha-i f-erved as secretary of! the commission since April. 1913. "The retirement of Commissioner Cable i placed the commission in control of the Republicans and Feder is the first i employee to walk the plank as a re- i cnange in political com plexion ot me commission. This is the first important political change in the state house since the legislature passed the joke civil service law. Last Link in Highway Finished. Tuma, Ariz., April 13. Completing the last link in the trans-continental highway from the Atlantic to Los Angeles and San Diego, the new bridge across the Colorado river at Yuma has been formally opened to the public The bridge cost the government J75, 000 to construct. WAR BREAD IX 1870, TOO. Berlin, April 13. "War bread" is no new thing in this war. One of the exhibits in the "Bismarck Museum" in the Schoenhausen Cas tle, Schoenhausen, where Bismarck lived is a loaf of French bread that was baked in Paris during the siege in 1870. It consists of mater ials unlike those now being used, however, for it is made of French rice ordinarily used for starch and oat straw. The loaf was brought to Germany as a keepsake by a German artilleryman and sent to Bismarck on the latter's 80th birthday. SEA RUSHES IN Collapse of Galleries in the Ube Coal Mine Causes the Death of 300 Miners hy Browning:. Tokio, April 13. Three hundred persons are reported drowned in the I collapse of undersea galleries in the BULLETS TEAR CROSS ar This remarkable photograph, taken'by Prince William of Hohenzollern, reigning prince in Germany, shows what strange pranks bullets may some times play. The bullets flew around this crucifix in the war zone. While the figure of Christ escaped the cross was shot away. Ube coal mine in the Shimoneski dis trict. Shimoneski is at the southwest ex tremity of the island of Hondo on the strait separating Hondo from the is land of Kiushiu and connecting the Inland sea with the Sea of Japan. It was near Pimoneski that tiie American steamer Minnesota was reported to have been aground yesterday. Some of the richest coal fields in the far east lie in the neighborhood of Shimoneski and on the island of Kiushiu, directlv across the strait.- DYESTUFFS SCARCE. Cotton Manufacturers Will Try to 1'iiul a Way Out. Memphis. April 13. Difficulties pre sented by the European war and the scarcity of dyestuffs are expected to form the most important topics of discussion at the annual convention of the American Cjjtton Manufacturers' association which convened here to day. The convention will be in ses sion two days. The program for today's business session included the address of the president. T. I. Hickman, of Augusta, Ga.; sn address by Frank Nasmith, editor of the Textile Recorder of Manchester, England, on the possible increased ase of electrical and pneu matic forces in textile machinery and general discussions of business effi ciency in connection with cotton mill management and the dyestulT situa tion. Action on. the so-called Duke warehouse plan, deferred from the meeting last year, probably will be taken tomorrow. Officers will be elected at the final session. PUT UNDER ARREST.' President of St. 'Louis Board of Alder men in .Trouble. St. Louis. April 13. A. H. Freder ick, president-elect of the board of al dermen of St. Louis, was placed under arrest today at the direction of Circuit Attorney Harvey. The arrest was made a3 a -result of developments at the grand jury investigation into Frederick's affairs, which began yesterday. KANSAS WAITING FOR WARM SUN Government Crop Report, First of Season, Optimistic. 1915 Spring: Opens With Excep tional Conditions. jWHEAT m HEVER better Most Favorable Reports From Many Parts of State. Alfalfa, Pastures and All Fruit, Except Peach, Good. The first weekly crop report for the season which was issued from the local weather office today shows that the crop season of 1915 open under ex- AWAY; LEAVE FIGURE ceptionally favorable conditions in Kansas. The ground is more thor oughly soaked from the heavy snows of last winter and the rains this week than it has been for several years and while the season is somewhat back ward this appears to be more than offset by the favorable conditions now prevailing and the decreased liability of damage from a late frost. The week ending Monday morn ing, April 12, was much warmer than any other week since last fall, with from one to two inches of rain gener ally in the southern and western por tions and moderately heavy rains else where. It was also deficient in sun shine. Severe frosts occurred in the northwestern counties on the 10th, but vegetation waa not advanced suffi ciently to be damaged. Except in the northeast part of the state farm work made very little pro gress this week and little if anything has been done towards preparing the ground for corn planting. Wheat in Good Condition. Wheat is "greening up" and report ed to be in fine condition in almost ev ery part of the state. Many reports received state it was never better at this time of the year. Sowing oats has been greatly delay ed by the unseasonably cold weather of March and the wet fields this week. From one third to about half the oats that will be sown this spring are now i nthe ground, but the acreage will be light and the ground that would have been sown in oats had the season been favorable will be planted in corn. Pastnres. Hay and uit. Alfalfa passed through the winter in exceptionally good condition and it and all other grasi j made rapid growth this week. Peaches appear to have been badly damaged during the winter. Other fruits. especially strawberries, are promising. Plasterers Give l"p Strike. Chicago. April 13. Three thousand union plasterers, who have been on a i etrike since March 24. returned to j work today after a lockout had been threatened y the employers if the strike order were not rescinded. The plasterers called a strike after a lock out had been declared against union lathers. Weather Forecast for Kansas. Generally fair tonight and Wednes day; moderate temperature. FOR GOOD OF WASHBURN Here are some of the good things that prominent Topekans are say ing about Washburn college and the endowment campaign that will start Thursday: A. A. Godard: I think the peo ple realize that we have a faculty here doing more, good work than any faculty in the. V'nlted States for so small amount pf money. Dean D. L. MeEachron: It has been a constant joy since we began to prepare for this campaign to see the loyalty that has been displayed towards Washburn. If an institu tion is known by Iier friends Wash burn must be a good institution as she has excellem friends. The Her. Kalph Ward: "Topeka Kan; Topeka- Will." This great movement will be a success if To peka gets behind it right. Kobert Stone, chairman execu tive committee: -Topeka-is going to do it because of her friends. W. D. ltoss. state superintendent of public instruction: Washburn Is a great asset, to Topeka; there is no question about it. E. W. Rankin, field marshal: I'm gratified because of the man ner in which the men have shown their willingness to work. 11. jj, cook:- Washburn college is the thing that-brought me here. I have been pleased with the work my children have done here. The graduates are big men in this and other states, which speaks weU for the institution. Dr. Edwin Locke: The people ought to get liehind the campaign because Washburn Is the greatest intellectual institution of the city to say nothing of the commercial value. It brings many families to Topeka. W. W. 31111s: I think this will be the greatest opportunity that Topeka has had to give money to a cause that will benefit both this and the next generation. W. W. Webb; Now is the time for Topekans to show their loyalty towards this city by getting behind Washburn college which is a valu able asset. Scott Hopkins: Tills is a propo sition which demands the attention of the general public, All Topeka believes in AVashbura college, and it will be-only through thousands of individual contributions that the success of the ..campaign wiU be possible. WITH ONE CANNON Villa lias Begun the Bombard ment of Matamoros. The First Feiv Shells Exploded in the Air. Brownsville, "...April 13.. The bom bardment i he" M&amoras trenches, by the Villa ajEm besieging Mata moros began this afternoon. Tbe first few shells exploded in the air above Matamoras. Only one cannon ap peared to be in action. Children were dismissed from school In West Brownsville today because of very heavy rifle firing on the Mexican side of the river nearby. A consider able force of Carranza cavalry and infantry was observed making a sortie from the trenches which defend the west side of Matamoros. American army observers, at the in ternational bridge here, have watched some interesting brush fighting tac tics of the Carranza troops in the numerous small sorties made in the past two days. Small parties of troops approach within good pointblank rifle range of a bunch of brush, fire about 500 shots into it and then charge. This is operated with each unfamiliar patch of brush. The Villa gunners conducting the bombardment dropped two shots with in a few yards of the Carranza trenches. They did no other appar ent damage. Before the range was ob tained four shells burst over Mata moros, one of them above the French theater near the American consulate. TAKE YOUR CHOICE. Wcsthcr of Every Variety Held Out to Kansas. The weather was of a typical April variety at Topeka today with morning showers netting .04 of an inch up to nine o'clock. The precipitation was local as shown by the reports from over the state. There were light showers at Hanover. Horton and Manhattan. The western and central sections of the state were generally fair this morning. The forecast calls for generally fair weather tonight and Wednesday with moderate temperatures. When the word "generally" is used the forecast admits of the possibility of a shower here and there. The mercury rose rapidly this after noon 14 degrees in two hours. The temperature for the day averaged 8 degrees above normal. The hourly readings: 7 o'clock 48 11 o'clock 62 8 o'clock 48 I 12 o'clock ....62 9 o'clock ....50 1 o'clock ....72 10 o'clock ....55 2 o'clock ....76 DOX'T WANT TO FIGHT. London, April 13. The human side of the trenches and firing lines with their pathos and laughter combined is no better told than by the "Tommies" at the front, thou sands of whose letters are received weekly by the "folks back home." Though interest is intense in the big news developments, second to this comes the "soldier letter" sec tions in the daily newspapers and columns appear daily. The British censor scrupulously eliminates all mention of troop locations in the soldiers' mail but this fails to de tract from the interest in the sub ject .natter. A Lance corporal, who was wounded at Ypres and is again in the fighting line, wrote: "The more men we get here the sooner the game will be at an end. The Germans are almest sold out. We captured a few the other day and they told us they didn't want to fight. They were mere boys. We only want nice dry weather and then I am quite sure we can finish up with a. brilliant victory.", GIRL SAYS SHE HATESJjlM NOW "I Realize He Kuined My Life," Alma Stephenson. Real Sensations at the White Slave Trial Today. SENT HER MONEY TO FLEE Girl Says Mayor Van Syckle Wanted Her to Escape. Admits She Embraced Him in Ottawa Hotel. "I hate him as much now as I loved him before,'' said Alma Stephenson this morning while on cross-examination. "Since I have had my eyes opened I realize that he has ruined my life." Such was the declaration of the feeling that the girl holds- toward Mayor Van Syckle of Olpe, who is fac ing a statutory charge in the district court. She says her only desire now is to assist in bringing him to retribu tion. Throughout the trial which began yesterday morning Miss Stephenson's statements have been unreserved and positive, and there has been nothing in the fear3 felt by the attorneys for the state that she might weaken any of her statements made rather reluctant ly before the court of Topeka. The seventeen-year-old complaining witness sprung the surprise of the Van Syckle white slave case this morning when she exhibited a five dollar bill which she said Mayor Van Syckle had sent to her within the past three weeks to enable her to escape from her home at Olpe, where she has been closely guarded by her parents since Van Syckle's arrest. She said he told her to slip away at the first oppor tunity and to communicate with his attorneys. Tells of Another Visit. Judge Dana's court room thrilled with surprise when this statement was made during the girl's cross-examination by Owen Samuels, of counsel for the defense, since nothing of that character had been brought out on direct examination. Still another sur prise was given when Miss Stephen son gave a circumstantial account of a visit to the town of Florence with Van Syckle which she said took place some time in the early part of last winter, previous to the first meeting at Osage City. This testimony was a surprise-to both sides for the witness had-not alluded to it either-on direct examination or Hi the course of- her statement-a the preliminary examina tion of Van ykle last moti'thu--- ghe- said she had forgotten about -it, but declared today that that was the real beginning of the defendant's illicit relations with her. .-.V The Attitude of Defense. It has been a gruelling eross-ex-. amination which Attorney Samuels has administered to the state's witness. It was still incompleted at the noon recess -and promised to last through most or all of the afternoon. It be came evident that the defense will not deny the identity of Mayor William H. Van Syckle of Olpe as being the same man who registered at various hotels under the name of L. L. Wilson. It appears probable from the character of the questions directed at the com plaining witness that the defense will endeavor to establish a claim that Van Syckle's interest In the girl was not improper and that an effort will be made to brand her as an adventuress. Attempt to Embrace Him. This was indicated by questions as to Van Syckle's conduct in the pres ence of proprietors of hotels in Ottawa where the pair was registered. One such question drew out the fact that Van Syckle had repulsed the girl when she attempted to embrace him at the Ottawa hotel where she had been waiting for his return. The girl ad mitted this. The witness acknowledged having told a story while at the Douglas hotel in Ottawa about her marriage to Van Syckle. She saic: she told other women at the hotel that they were married in April at her home, and also that she was 20 years old. In answer to questions which At torney Samuels put regarding the character of the witness, Miss Steph enson admitted having gone home one night, before she left Olpe, with a man of bad character, but she said her sister was with her all the way home. She flatly denied ever having had relations with any one before she left home with Van Syckle. Not for many terms of court has there been more conspicuous interest on the part of the public in a trial In the district court. Many of the spec tators are apparently from out of town. There were no seats and not even standing room from the begin ning of this morning's session of court. The chief object of interest is the state's witness, who has borne the strain of her examination without evi dences of exhaustion, and her replies to the fusillade of questions directed by the attorney for the defense have been uniformly clear and for the most part consistent. "She is an ideal witness." declared Robert Garver, assistant county attor ney, who has led the case for the state. "Her story has been consistent and unshaken in any essential way." "My Darling Wife." Counsel for the defense closed cross examination at 2 o'clock this after noon and Assistant County Attorney Robert Garver, for the prosecution, on an indirect examination, introduced several letters written to Alma Stephenson by Van Syckle. The first letter was written to her while she was in "the Rex hotel in Topeka. It was filled with endearing messages of love, thoughtfulness about her health and her happiness. It is alleged to have been signed as follows: "To my dear, sweet, darling wife from your loving and true husband." The other letter is alleged to have been written after the preliminary hearing. In it, he is charged with tell ing her that the lawyers wdild "be mean to her" at the trial and that she had better break down on the witness stand and say that her testimony in the preliminary was untrue. He ad vised her, it is alleged, to tell the court that she had been on a nervous strain FASTED 57 DAYS. Warsaw, Ind., April 13. James Robinson is gradually taking on weight again. He lost 100 pounds in fifty-seven days, and incidentally set a new record for fasting in so doing. Robinson's trouble was that he had no appetite. He simply could not bear the sight of food. Finally he was induced to take a glass of buttermilk, and he gradually re covered. He had dropped from 230 pounds to 130. This upsets the theory of medical science that fifty-five days is the limit of a man's endurance without food. COL. NELSON DIES Veteran Editor Succumbs to Illness of Long Duration. Gave Up Work Only About a Month Ago. Kansas City, Mo., April 13. Wil liam Rockhill Nelson, editor and own er of the Kansas v Star, died at his home here this morning. Mr. Nel son, who was 74 years old, had been in ill health several months and had been confined to his home since last December. Uremic poisoning caused his death, according to physicians Col. W. R.

FIRE AT ASYLUM. Annex to State Hospital at Dunning, Illinois, Burns. Chicago, April 13. Fire which broke out in the hospital annex of the Chicago state hospital for the insane at Dunning, northwest of the city, to day spread rapidly. The building is of frame construction, two stories high in some sections and in others only one. It is about 200 feet from, the main hospital. The first call for aid came to the city fire department- over the tele phone. Two companies responded but the speed with which the flames spread led to the sounding of a regu lar alarm and this was quikely fol lowed by calls for more apparatus. By the time the firemen arrived the hospital attendants were escorting the fifty patients housed in the building to safety. The building was used for the accommodation of mildly insane per sons convalescent from various ills. Several previous fires in the structure had warned the institution's officials of its dangerous character and as a consequence the rescue work was quickly organized. THEYlOT ONE TRENCH The French Iteport IJttle Progress on Rattle Front. Pari3, April 13. The French war department's official statement given out this afternoon says: "Between the sea and the Alsne there is nothing to report except a few artillery duels. "To the east of Berry-Au-Bac we gained the possession of a German trench. "In the Argonne there were mining operations and engagements of bomb and grenade throwing between our own and the enemy's trenches. "Between the Meuse and the Mo selle our forces succeeded at several points In coming into contact with the wire entanglements of the enemy's de fense." SCALDS HIS OWN SON Man Turned Live Steam Into Well Pit, Killing His Boy. Los Angeles, Cal., April 13. Clark Bradford. 27 years old, was fatally scalded in a well pit of the Union Hol lywood Water company at West Jef ferson and Cimarron streets Sunday afternoon after his father had turned "live" steam into the hole where his son and James L. Sutton were work ing. When the scalding vapor filled the pit young Bradford thrust Sutton up the ladder, shouting "Get out. Jim; hurry for God's sake." Then he fell to the bottom of the pit and was fatal ly scalded before he could be rescued. He died later at the California hospi tal. Sutton's injuries will not prove fatal.. The elder Bradford was una ware of the presence of his son and Sutton in the well when he let the steam into the pit, and waa prostrated at the fatal result. CENSORS ANGER CITY MOVIE FANS As Usual, Topeka Is Goat of All the State's Laws. Local Houses Cannot Show Films of Real Merit. SHUT DOWN ON LOCAL SHOWS Personal Inspection Stopped by State Officers. Travelogs and Scenes From Slain Soon Favorites. Topeka motion picture patrons to day are mad and not the slightest feeling of love and affection is dis played between them and the censor ship board. At the Iris theater last night, where the board barred "When We Were Twenty-One," a regular in dignation meeting was held in the lob by and words of scorn and dislike were openly expressed. Word quickly spread over the city that the Willard spar ring pictures were also barred at the Orpheum and it brought out heated and one-sided discussions. Monday afternoon Rev. Festus Fos ter and Mies Carrie Simpson, mem bers of the board, visited the Jrls. The picture was a pleasing one, at least the well filled house enjoyed the film. But not so the censors. After the pic ture was concluded, they informed the manager, Grady Montgomery, that they would not allow the picture to be shown any more. Montgomery pre vailed on them to allow him to run the film last night. At the performance last night, the ushers gave each patron a printed card for them to vote their sentiments on the question, "Should thi picture be condemned or not?" The vote shows that 28 were in favor of condemning HE'LL RUiTEM OUT U. S. District Attorney After Topeka Bootleggers. Wholesale Campaign Against Retail Liquor Dealers. The United States government, through Fred Robertson, district at torney, recently took up the fight against illegitimate liquor selling, wholesale and retail, in Kansas, and as a result the corridors and offices of the federal building in Topeka are crowded with persons bearing liquor subpoenas, recently served by Otto Woods, United States marshal. The grand jury is in session this week. Fred Robertson, for the last month has been probing the liquor business in Kansas. Not long ago about ten United States plain clothes men dropped off the train at Topeka and about a week later, after making numerous reports to tbe district at torney, left as quietly as they came. When they left Kobertson wore his most genial smile and the smile meant trouble for Topeka bootleggers. Engaging in the retail liquor busi ness in violation of the federal reve nue stamp laws is the most common cause of bootleggers going to Jail via the Fred Kobertson route. Federal statutes compel wholesale and retail liquor dealers alike to take out reve nue stamps from the office of the in ternal revenue collector. The law ap plies in "dry" territory as well as In portions of the country where the liquor business is unrestricted by pro hibitory measures. W. II. L. Pepperell, internal reve nue collector of Leavenworth, is iii Topeka today and has with him cer tain records showing Just how many bootleggers in the state are carrying revenue stamps. Topeka bootleggers are coming in for their full share of investigation. It is estimated that there are about thirty-six bootleggers in Topeka' who are common violators of the revenue stamp act A similar number of cases. Judging from the number of subpoenas issued in that territory, are being investigated in Leavenworth, Atchison and Kansas City, Kan. Several Topeka bootleggers, it Im understood, are violating the law by taking out revenue stamps and giving fictitious addresses for their places of business. This is done to dodue state laws and keep county officials from finding their places. These violator are also being "probed." Persons bearing liquor subpoenas in Topeka this week are from ail parts of the state. The Topeka courts have jurisdiction over the entire state. IN WILHELMINA CASE. Trial Over American Food Ship In British Court Today. London, April 13. Trial in the Brit ish prize court of the case of the steamer Wilhelmina, the American food ship detained under the British anti-German food embargo, was scheduled today. The case is among those on the calendar for the Kaster court term, but may not be reached for a few days. Counsel for the St. Louis owner of the Wilhelmina's food cargo today outlined the United States' case, which was the subject of sharp protest from the state department. It will be con tended that the food cargo was con signed to the American owner at Bre men and, therefore, was not subject to confiscation by the German govern ment for military purposes. Great Britain, on the other hand, will con tend that the German military author ities could have seized the food and thus evade Kngland's "starvation" policy against Germany. The Wilhelmina itself is not seized and, if her cargo is confiscated, Kng land will pay her owners for the food seized. 14

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE J OTrcy TS TUESDAY EVENING APRIL 13, 1915. COL. NELSON DIES. (Continued from Page One.1 these conferences he -would dictate editorials and outline ideas for car toons and feature stories. Although his physicians constantly advised iisrainst the part he was tak ing, during the last few months, in the management of the paper, he refused to obey them, reminding them that it was in the building of the Star he had been happiest and that he would not be content without it to occupy his mind. During the last month Mr. Nelson has been conscious only at intervals. At euch periods his mind was clear and he constantly asked questions about his newspaper, and the mem bers of its staff. For many years Mr. Nelson was a director of the Associated Press. He was recognized as one of the leading newspaper editors of the United States, and his friends were many. Immediately following his death a large number of his former friends were notified by telegraph. Among them were widely known men in al most every walk of life. They includ ed Theodore Roosevelt. George W. Terkins of New York; Henry Watter son of Louisville. Ky,: General Charles II. Taylor. Boston: Josephus Daniels, secretary of the navy: Victor F. Law son, Chicago; Melville E. Stone, gen eral manager of the Associated Press, New York; H. H. Kohlsaat, Chicago, and "Medill McCormick, Chicago. At-Mr. Nelson's bedside were Mrs. Nelson. Mrs. I. R. Kirkwood. his only child, and Mr. Kirkwood. Other: rela tives are Mr. Nelson's sisters, Miss Eva Nelson and Mrs. H. W. Bond of Fort Wayne, Ind., and a niece, Mies Laura McCurdy of Bloomington, 111. Sketch of His Life. Mr. Nelson was born in Fort Wayne. Indiana, March 7. 1841. He came of two centuries of American ancestors. His maternal grandfather, -William 1-, irkin aottierl in Indiana when thati jw- o.n j state was a wilderness in ih. first farmer in America to o thnnssnil acres of corn. His father. Tsaac DeGroff Nelson, was identifed with the upbuilding of the state and took an active hand in its political life. William Rockhill Nelson was edu cated at Notre Dame university. After a, short experience as a' youngster in cotton glowing in Georgia just after the war, he returned to Indiana and hecame a general contractor. He en gaged in the building of roads, pave ments and bridges, and was associated in a contract for the construction of the southern Illinois state penitentiary. Intense admiration for the reform work of Samuel J. Tilden brought him into contact with that great Democrat and when only 3 years old, he became Tilden's Indiana campaign manager. His interest in political leadership made him turn to newspa per work as the best way to influence men in the mass. He bought an inter est in the Fort Wayne Sentinel and a business reverse determined him to devote all his time to journalism. He soon became convinced that the Opportunities in Fort Wayne were too Vio HspiHpiI rm Kansas Citv as the mostl promising city or tne country. Up persuaded his Fort W ayne partner, Samuel E. Morss, to make the venture with him. They sold their Fort Wayne interests, went to Kansas City and started the Evening Star as a lit tle, four page afternoon on September 18, 18S0. newspaper, j -j r AlorSS i withdrew from the enterprise after a few months on account of ill health, and Mr. Nelson continued as sole own er and editor-in-chief. Always n Builder. Essentially a builder, he took an In- tense interest in the-development of tho r-itv Almost from the first issue the Star urged the necessity of pav ing the streets, of getting a park sy? tern, of building attractive houses, of planti. g shrubbery and trees. Mr. Nel son himself had the trees sset along the first Kansas City boulevard. He was constantly instigating movements for city betterment. One of his achievements was the residence district which he laid out near his home as an example of what could be done toward ci'y heautitica tion. He built nearly a hundred mod est houses along roads which he lined with stone walls covered with honey suckles and crimson ramblers.

Until a month ago, Bulgaria's posi tion was considered uncertain. On the whole, she was considered as being more friendly to Germany than the allies. But her eyes since the last Bal kan war have been on- the strip of Turkish territory including the city of Adrianople. The report here is that Bulgaria a month ago was assured that the allies intend to carry the cperations against the Dardanelles to a successful conclu sion at any cost. Bulgaria then made a tentative agreement, according to reports current here, to seed forces into Turkey to aid in the capture of Constantinople. How Greece Gets In. The er trance of Bulgaria into the scene of action, according to informa tion I have received.. wi!l remove the principal barrier that halted Greece. Greece is allied with Servia and Ru mania in a treaty to maintain the ter ritorial division made by the treaty of Budapest at the close of the second Balkan war. Greece has large colonies in Asiatic Turkey, especially at Smyrna. In ad dition, a number of islands r of the Aegean sea are filled largely with Greek colonists. Centuries ago. not only these colonies but the Aegean coast' of Asia minor was part of Greece and the restoration of these to the mother country is part of the Greek statesmen's ambition. This is the political aspect in the Balkans as it has been outlined to me. There Is an interesting and also im portant personal side. Three Balkan rulers. those mon arch! of Greece, Bulgaria and Ru mania, are dynamically allied to the families of the Austra-German block. The wife of King Constantine of Greece is a sister of the kaiser, and the Greek minister himself is known to have pro-German sympathies. King Ferdinand of Rumania is a German and a Hohenzollern. His wife is a German princess. Czar Ferdinand is likewise of German blood. He be longs to the house of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha and is also a Hungarian noble man with vast estates in the dual monarchy. His wife is German. History is full of instances where rulers forced their unwilling subjects into war but the present Balkan situa tion promises the reverse. The will of the people may force the unwilling rulers into the war. GIRL SAYS SHE HATES HIM NOW Continued from Page One. since she had lied against him. In short, to contradict her original story. Monday Afternoon. Alma Stephenson recited her story before the jury in the first divi sion of the Shawnee county district court as if she had learned it by heart and in very much the same language as her deposition taken before County Attorney Atchison at the time of Van Syckle s arrest She related the narrative of their mutual infatuation beginning when she was a child of 12 or 13 and Van Syckl-s a man of mature years who already had a daughter nearly her own age. Her own childish admira tion ef the big man who took her rid ingr in his automobile, she said, was met by advances from him in the form of kisses and caresses before she was fourteen years of age. She declared that a clandestine correspondence had been continued for three or four years before she finally left home, but there had never been any criminal impro priety between them until the gossip of the little country town determined her to permanently leave home. There was a crowd in the court room throughout the day and- the idlers listened with breathless interest while the girl was on the witness stand for nearly two hours under examina tion by Robert Garver, attorney for the state, and cross-examination by Owen Samuels of Emporia, counsel for the defense. She was the second witness called, T. Reid. a hotel keeper of Osage City, being the first put on the stand. Reid identified Van Syckle and the girl as the persons who had registered at his hotel on Janu ary 20. A page from his hotel regis ter showed the names of L. L. Wilson and Janet Wilson written, he said, by Van Svckle. At Osage City, ac- uc.u, I t II 1 1 U I 1 pill lu If r: 1 1 1 -"I 1 1 J and had paid for a week's board and room for her there, leaving immedi ately after engaging a room and not returning until a week later.

She Was Discouraged. This, according to Alma Stephen son's story was the beginning of her excursion with Mayor Van Syckle. She '"L1 e. US "v sn na le" lu wujb. ut Madison, Kan., a few miles from Olpe. It was while there that word came to her that gossip was circulat ing in her nome town linking her name with that of her old friend. "I v.-f-s blue and discouraged," said she yesterday, "and I quit my place at Madison. I got on a train to go home, and then 1 decided to go on to Emporia, and paid my fare to con ductor from Olpe on. When the train stopped at Olpe Mr. Van Syckle was at the depot and saw me. I told him I was going to Emporia. He told me that he would meet me the next day there, and told me to spend the night at the National hotel. I met him at the triin the next morning. He bought my ticket and we went right mar to ner daily while she waited pa- tiently for him at the hotel. Promise of Marriage. His letters, she said, as well as his conversation when they were together were full of assurances of his love as well as promises that he would marry her as soon as he could obtain his freedom "He said he thought we could get married by next fall and he always told me that his wife did not care for him," said she. With startling frankness, the girl told her story of their relations in Osage City as well as at Ottawa, where they next went, and at Kansas City, where' they passed one night before coming to Topeka early in March. During the almost two months be tween the- time she went to Orapa ('it Carthy of Emporia, on March 15, Alma Stephenson said that she had seen the Olpe mayor but perhaps a half dozen times. He had visited her on flying trips from his home, taking her from place to place and leaving her with money for her expenses and keeping up a continuous correspondence. At Ottawa and subsequently they had al ways passed as man and wife and she received his letters addressed to her as Mrs. I.. L. Wilson. None of these letters has ever fallen into the pos session of the state's attorneys save one or two which came to Topeka. "He always asked me for his letters and took them away with him," said she, "and the letters I got before I left, home when we passed notes back and Torth to one another, I always destroyed because he told me to." SHE BUYS fHECARG0 England Makes Satisfactory Settle i mem of Willielmlna Case. New York, April 13.

The British government is to buy the car go and compensate its owners for losa of. anticipated profits in Germany. MEXICO AND CHURCH. Conditions iu the Republic Discussed by l ather Kelly. Rev. Francis C. Kelly of Chicago, president of the Catholic Church Ex tension society, today discussed "Mex ico and the American Church" before an important gathering of clergymen here. The occasion was the tteaica tion of the synod hall and chancery buildiner of the diocese of Pittsburg. Dr. Kellv said present day difficul ties in Mexico were largely because of three serious questions: The rights of conscience, land and education. Mexico, he said, had been without anything like freedom of con science for over fifty years. Church property had been confiscated to the state by Juarez and had never been returned. Religious schools were closed and -orders of teachers dis banded. No outward, manifestation of religion was permitted, even distinc tive dress of clergymen, being pro hibited in the streets In the large cities. Schools were .supplied by the state, but outside such communities Mexico practically has no schools. The state- has never been able to supply them and the church was not allowed to do so. The church has avoided interference In political affairs said Dr. Kelly, "and churchmen are notoriously timid even about their own defense. The church accepted Juarez Diaz and Madero. She will accept whatever legitimate ruler comes out of the present chaos. "The story of the present revolution in Mexico is far worse than the story of the first revolution in. France. It is horrible. Murder has been one of its minor faults, relatively speaking. Though attempts were made to deny outrages against the sisters, they are now admitted, but the worst of this story has never been told. One hun dred and fifty sisters once left Mexico City for Vera Cruz during the Ameri can occupation, the train arrived empty. They were taken off by the revolutionists on the way. "If the United States is to be the friend and sister of Mexico, to the ad vantage of both, our citizens must rid themselves of a multitude of inherited prejudices and substitute a spirit of understanding for a spirit of greed. There is more to be had in Mexico than oil and mining concessions. I have no wish to condemn business en terprise, but it is poor business that depends for success on machine guns." CENSORS" ANGET CITY MOVIE FANS tContlnued from Page une-1 the film, while 504 were opposed to that movement. But on account of the views taken by the board, the picture was sent back to Kansas City this morning. A reporter was shown the objectionable and distasteful- part of the film, as the censors expressed it. It showed sev eral well dressed men and a few- women in a finely furnished club room. One, possibly two, were imbibing some liquid, probably water or coca-cola. although it was evidently meant to represent wine. At another part, sev eral men were seen gambling, witn out the aid of drinks or Carousing. At another few feet of the picture a woman rendered a graceful and not obscene dance. The rest of the pic ture detailed a high class story. Only Sparring Match. At the Orpheum, a sparring match between Jess Willard and his partner is shown. It was an excellent display of boxing, similar to the bouts ar ranged by amateurs at the Y." M. C. A; and other organizations. It will be hown for the last time tonight, tne board taking into consideration the fact that the Orpheum had spent a lot of money in advertising the picture. W. A. Andlauer, manager or tne Orpheum, looked at the matter in this light: "I do not see where any person has the right to prohibit a $50,000 picture upon just seeing the turn. jr tney had some experience in that line, if they spent months in the Edison lab oratories or other studios, if they read the books of the authors carefully and if they knew the moving picture busi ness from the ground up, then I be lieve they would be fit to censor the film. "If I showed repulsive films," he continued, "then people would stop at tending the theater. Business would fall off. As it is, I know of twenty prominent business men. uninterested n any motion picture enterprise, who condemned the action in prohibiting the sparring picture, and of the views taken by Mr. Ross and the others in killing' other films." Urge Censoi-s to Be Fair. The managers of the other picture houses agree with Andlauer. The pa trons evidently agree with him. At the Iris many of them signed the cards with their names and on the back urged the censor board to be fair. Their names can be obtained at the Iris. Taking the condemnation of "When We Were Twenty-ine," as an example, the following pictures which were tak en from recognized and standard works of literature, will be barred from the state: "The Spoilers," "The Sea Wolf." "The Tale of Two Cities." "Les Miserables," "The Prisoner of Zenda," "The Pit," "The Man on the Box," "The Girl of the Golden West," "The Illiad," "Quo Vadis," "Cabiria," "Dubarry," "Officer 666," "Macbeth." "Life of Napoleon," and countless oth ers. If "The Last Supper," were pro duced in pictures, it should be barred on the same reason. If that great tem perance play, "Ten Nights in a Bar Room."' were brought back to Kansas in pictures and it has been here iD pictures it shows such drunkenness as would make it subject to condem nation. The board announced that "Hypocrites," will not be allowed to return to the Iris. That picture creat ed a profound sensation, it was a high ly moral and elevating film, Record ing to the word of thousands who saw it. That was followed by John Barry more in a delightful comedy, "Are You a Mason." Barrymore becomes Intoxicated in that picture. It was booked for a re-engagement, but will have to be cancelled. Gloomy Outlook. On the whole, the outlook seems in deed gloomy for movie fans. There are thousands of them in Topeka, and it appears that Topeka will be discrim inated against. The board has stated that managers in tf distant parts of the state may send in a printed outline of the picture and the film will be censured by that outline. In Topeka, the pictures will be personally in spected. 'We will be privileged." said a To peka banker this morning, "to see lit tle travelogues, little tea party films, kid comedies, fairy tales.- providing that the wearing apparel of the fairies is not too scanty, studies of the life of birds, plants an'dinsects, and other en joyable pictures. We shall sit in bliss while the operator happily runs off a iew mousand feet showing the beau ties or the interior of Siam. We will go into raptures over the rivulets in Norway and the claws or the South American armadilla. Our children will laugh with glee over the Keystone uaoy comeoiex. which such- men -as cnanes Chaplin will be barred: Nev er again shall I sit with disgust in such pictures as 'The Spoilers.' but shall sup tea and toast with my feet upon a stool and watch the thrilling adven tures in 'The Little Colonel's House Party.- The members of the movie- censor board are Rev. Festus Foster of To peka. Miss Carrie SimDson of Paoia. and W. D. Ross, state superintendent or puonc instruction.

Liverpool dis patches told of prospects that arrivals there wonkl be lighter, and that the demand would continue to be active, reports of widespread benefit from recent rains iu the domestic winter crop belt led to a set back, but the effect on prices failed to last. After opening -c to c higher, the market underwent a material sag, but then again advanced. Afterward the market was inclined to sag owing to lack of any urgent buying. The close was weak, c to c under lust night. CORN Corn developed firmness with wheat. Trade, however, was light. The opening, which ranged from e to c higher, was followed by a slight reaction. OATS Favorable weather for seeding and growth had a bearish influence on oats. The streugth of other grain though acted as something of an offset. Iu later dealings the market showed weakness, the result of some increase of country offerings. Closing prices were heavy at c to (g)c net decline.

STOCKS Establishment of another record by Beth lehem Steel which rose to 127, two points above its previous high price, was the noteworthy feature of today s early market. This gain was soon lost, however, and the movement elsewhere was airain Indicative of selling for profit and renewal of pro fessional operations for the decline. Rock Island rose over over a point in recog nition of the new Interests of the board but soon registered a material loss. Num erous specialties, including equipments and industrials, rose 1 to 2 points. Trading was active with reactionary tendencies be fore the end of the half hour. Bethlehem Steel held iirst place through out the first hour, advancing 15 points to 139'.. In the second hour it rose te 142, an "over night gain of 18 points. Contrary to recent days the balance of the market was not adversely affected by the movement In Bethlehem Steel, but gath ered strength especially in United States Steel, Amalgamated nnu otner lenders, where gains of 1 to 2 points were made. Pem-e rumors which had their origin in official quarters at Washington were used us a basis lor tne revival 01 activity. Bonds were steady. During the mid session Bethlehem steel ascended to 149, from which it reacted moderately. Sales of Beth lehem steel up to 1 o clock barely ex ceeded 20,000- shares, which of fered further proof of the stock's scarcity. The entire market became stronger in the early afternoon, some of the leaders rising above the prices of last Saturday, which marked the top level of the movement.

Kansas City Stock Yards, April 12. Improved conditions in the cattle market last week were not confined to the ad vance of 15 to 25 cents secured by sellers, but Included a more active demand and keener interest from buyers, giving sales men the upper hand in making trades. Heavy steers heretofore the weak spot In the market, participated in the better feel ing. Receipts today are 9,500 cattle, market steady on all classes of cattle, with a little slowness and Lome weak places on heavy steers. The market started out under the handicap of lower reports from Chicago, due to heavy supply there, but demand was good and the close was the best time. Top heavy native steers brought $8.25 to day, and medium steers sold at $7.50 to $8.00, yearlings worth op to $8.50, possibly more, bulk of the cows $5.75 to $6.65, odd head of choice heifers up to $8.50, bnlls $5.25 to $6 in most cases, veal calves $8.50 to $10.00. A fair run of fed westerns was included, selling at $7.25 to $7.85, with feed er ends cut out, and readily disposed of at a slight premium over fat steer prices, a number of lots at $7.50 to $7.85. Quarantine receipts were only 3 cars today, low grade mixed stuff. The quarantine market has not been tested since last Thuradav. when 27 car loads of fair to good Texas steers sold at $6.85 to $7.35. Expert opinion around the stock yards, which, however, is sometimes discredited, predicts an advance of one dollar per hundred in fat cattle prices In the next sixty days, which should permt stockers and feeders to remain firm. Hogs have made some good gains since the middle of last week, and the market was 5 to 10 cents higher today, receipts 11,000 head. Order buyers continue active buyers, and receipts have heen moderate enough to bring out strong competition from packers; All weights are selling close together, and ali buyers are equally anxious for bogs, top today $7.10. bulk of aales $7.00 to 7.10. Packers are in possession of large stocas or product, out they consider it good property, as a continuance of the war will insure a broad outlet, and if the war ends, Germany will want large quan tities. Sheep and lambs advanced 35 to 50 cents last week, closing strong. Buyers attempt ed to secure stuff at lower prices today, and were successful in some cases, the mar ket ruling steady to 15c lower, all the good lambs selling at $10.25 to $10.35. vearllnzs at $9.10, ewes $8.25, receipts 10,0000 head. There Is small reserve stock to draw from, and very strong prices are expected for a few weeks yet at least. J. A. RICKART, market correspondent. Kansas City Live Stock Bales.

3 PHOTO OF HAVANA FIGHT SHOWS BATTLERS JUST BEFORE JACK TOOK COUNT. Up to the Minute r SportingNews This is the first picture of the Johnson-Willard fight to reach Topeka. It was taken in the twenty-sixth round. Just before the knockout. Johnson is shown hanging onto the giant white man, who, a few seconds later, sent him to the mat for the count of ten that transferred the championship from the black race to the white. From Everywhere. AWOMWPOVVER Willard Won Championship by Wife's Unseen Presence. GUESS WHO IT IS. Her Supreme Confidence in II im Gave Kansan Courage. THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOTTRNAIr TUESDAY' EVENING, APPTT. 13, 1915. La ill lit Pi it 1 7777 J0" vr A X. Los Angeles, April 13. Jess Willard undoubtedly has a clear claim to the title of world's champion, but just the same he must share the title with another, for he did not win that great fight In Havana Monday, April 5, alone. He was aided just as much as though there was a third fighter in the ring helping him, and when he sent that huge right fist of his crashing to the jaw of Johnson, knocking the big black out- his victory was due as much to the unseen presence as to his own efforts. Mrs. Jess Willard made her husband champion of the world. In a letter she received from him yesterday he told her that during every -minute of that terrific battle of a week ago he was thinkine of her and the plans they have made for the future of their children. He gave her credit for hav ing prepared him for the triumph. "Jess gives me too much credit for his success, but I am glad to share the championship with him if he wants it that way," said Mrs. wuiara. "1 am glad that I have been able to help him, but just remember that Jess is naturally a good, clean living man and it has not taken any effort on my part to keep him in the right path. Has Faith in Him. "lie says I was with him in his thoughts every minuto during the bat tle. Well I was with him in spirit, too, and I am a mighty happy woman to think that he has worked his way to the championship of the world. "There is never any danger of Jess going the way so many champions have gone. He will not be led into fast company just because he has to. associate with a lot of sporting men. Jees has good sturdy stock in him, has lived a simple, honest life, but best of all he loves his wife and chil dren and will keep his name clean on their account. "Jess has never cared for the fast life that has shortened the careers of so many fighters. He and I have talked that phase of the fighting life over many, many times and he has agreed with me that we must just remain plain, simple folks as we have been ever since we left the farm in Kan sas after he took up pugilism. "I do not object to his being- a fighter. I have always been confident that he would one day win the cham pionship and he says it was my confi dence in him that has helped him at tain the object of his ambition. He always wanteu to excel in whatever he undertook to do, and it was the same when he decided to enter .the, prize ring four years ago. j"- Was Sure of Victory. "Both Jess and I were sure he would win when he left here to make .ar rangements foi the fight with the pro moters in New York. We never made any plans in the event of his losing. All of our plans were made with a view to his winning that fight. "You see we have four children, three girls and a baby boy, Jess, jr., 16 months old, and Jess not only want ed to win the championship from the negro, but he wanted to earn money with which to give our children an education. We plan to buy a stock farm in the middle west. I shall live there if Jess continues fighting and we shall send the children to good schools and later to college. "Jess is an ideal husband and fa ther. He is seldom away from home when he can be there. He is never cross with me or the children, and despite his great strength he Is as tender almost as a woman. Instead of whipping them when they are bad he will talk with them, and make them understand wherein they did wrong. I have seen him talk for an hour to win them over. And nothing is too good for his children. He wants them to have the best of everything. "Love him? Why, bless you, I just Idolize Jess. He is no more than a great big clean hearted boy. He de lights in getting out here in the yard with the youngsters and rolling and tumbling about in the grass with them. They think he Is the greatest man in the world, and I am quite sure they are right." INSTRUCTS NATIONAL UMPIRES. President Tener Gets His Officials Together Monday and Pairs Them. New Tork, April 13. John K. Ten er, president of the National league, held a meeting with his official staff of umpires Monday at the league headquarters here. President Tener went over the rules with his staff, ex plaining ambiguous points and laying down a code for the strict enforcement of the rules this year. The following umpires were in at tendance: Robert Emslie, William Klem, Charles Rigler, Albert Orth, William Byron. William Hart and George Cockill. The latter has just been ap pointed to tbe staff. E. C. Quigley and Mai Eaaon, who live in the far west, were not present. The pairing of umpires and assign ments for opening games follow: At New York, Rigler and Hart; at THEOPJICALOUESTIQM X)( DO Is Best Solved By coming to me as a Doctor of Optica.

A special dispensation will be grant ed to infielders to use a ball for prac tice purposes prior to the start of each inning, the rule to be in effect up to May 1 5. This rule was made for the purpose of allowing the men to warm up before the start of each inning dur ing a period that is more or less cold. After May 15, however, President Tener believes the weather will bo warm enough to eliminate such prac tice and the former rule prohibiting the same will be strictly enforced. SPORT WHEEZES Betas Purloined D.f Me. Prnna PIm, "Lenten Sandwiches. Eta. (By Clng.) Commenting on Pitcher Wideman of the Savages the K. C. Times says he is as big as Jess -Willard. Yep, and what's more, he looks as though he might develop into as good a twirler as Jess is a fighter. Leo Murphy, alias the Spud, worked in both games at Kansas City Sunday against Bill Armour's Blues, and he threw out five men trying to steal second. Also, Mr. Murphy whaled out three hits, which is not bad for a youngster playing against a grand- aaaay ciud. Also, be it known that the Santa Fe G. O. baseball team bids fair to make the fans sit up and take cog nizance of them this summer. Sun day the G. O.'s played the Hutchin son Eagles to a 6 to 6 tie in twelve innings. News reached Topeka Monday that Solomon City boasts a man who once licked Jess Willard to a frazzle. This man is a member of the Solomon City fire department and his name is A. L. Bleakey. Said licking was adminis tered in St. Marys when both men were kids. However, it is very prob able that Mr. Bleakey doesn't want to repeat the performance. The complete football schedule of the University of Nebraska has been announced. It shows that the Kansas Aggies play in Lincoln on October 9 and Washburn on October 16. The manager of the Omaha club in the Western League has undertak en the job of teaching his players how to use their heads. The men have been given special instruction along the line of diagnosing the intent of the team they are up against. It's a hard job, manager. The Denver Grizzlies may be de prived of the services of Manager Jack Coffey this year because of an af fliction to Coffey's throwing limb. The wing has been stiff all spring and the advent of warm weather has failed to limber it up. The bone tissues are said to be affected and a specialist has told Coffey that he knows no remedy for it. Ed Cochran gave the Topeka Sav ages quite a boost in the Sunday issue of the Kansas City Journal. A big cut lay out, showing Manager Jack son, Murphy, Clunn and Frankenhoff, adorned the sporting page. In the writeup of the team was the follow ing: "On the Topeka roster are Murphy, catcher, former Blue, and Franken hoff at first, both semi-pro players here at one time. There are several others on the team who are familiar to local fans. Savage has a host of friends in Kansas City, who are hop ing that he meets with success as head of the Topeka club." With the Federal League well un der way on its pennant race, the im portant baseball events of the week will be the opening of the National and American Leagues Wednesday and of the American Association Thursday. Western League fans who save the bulk of their enthusiasm for the home town team will not get a chance to "bust loose" until Friday, the 23rd. A Foul Stroke Takes All. Chicago, 111., April 13. Warren K Wood, former Western amateur golf champion swimmer in innumerable tournaments, played against Colonel Bogey Saturday and lost. Police rec ords show the prizes lost by Mr. Wood were as follows: Gold medal, Olympic championship trophy; value not estimated. Diamond medal won at Glen Oak tournament; value not known. Gold medal. Western Golf Associa tion championship trophy; value ines timable. Diamond trophy, gem in shape of golf ball set in emerald stud golf club won by Mr. Wood on mid-western golf tour. "It took years of practice and many a fruitless drive to win those medals," Mr. Wood explained to the police. "And now they've been taken from me by one foul stroke. "Burglars should be disqualified.

Pitcher Clunn Gets Hurt in Soc cer Practice Monday. John Savage, owner of the Topeka Savages, is anxious to have his base ball games patronized by the ladies. And, in order to get the ladies to at tend, he has made special concessions in their favor. Here are the conces sions and the prices that will be charged at all home games: All ladies will be admitted to the grandstand on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays for 25 cents. On Fridays all ladies will be admit ted free without restrictions, that is regardless of whether or not they are accompanied by a male escort. On Saturdays, Sundays and holi days, however, ladies will be charged the regular 50 cent admission price. The price of grandstand admission to all male adults will be 5 0 cents at all times. The price of admission o the bleachers at all games will be 2 5 cents. Children under 12 years of age will be charged 25 cents for admittance to the grandstand. Monday afternoon the Savage squad had a hard workout, after which a little soccer was indulged in. Playing soccer in baseball uniforms with cleated shoes on, however, proved both a dangerous and an expensive wind producer. Several of the players had big gashes cut in their pants by being struck with the cleats on the shoes of opponents and Southpaw Clunn re ceived a bad gash on his left shin. Clunn Gets Cut. Clunn and Manager Jackson had cornered a Scotch high ball near the fence and both were endeavoring to kick another. But Jackson's toe went wild and landed on Clunn's shin, cut ting the meat to the bone and making a very ugly gash. It was necessary for the Reading twirler to take his shin to a doctor and have it dressed, but he thought he would be able to go out to the field this afternoon and would be back at the old peg by tomorrow. None of the players seemed to take to the soccer innovation with the alacrity that a duck takes to creek water, and as a result of the torn cloth and lacerated hide of Monday's attempt, it is possible Invisible basket ball will be substituted from now on. Manager Jackson started the soccer practice for the purpose of developing the wind of his players, but he says wind is not any more essential to ball players than shins and legs, and he thinks there are other ways that it can be developed without having the pants torn off the players each day.

Last year eight clubs representing xopeiia, vvicmta, mmporia, Lawrence, Newton, Ottawa, Hutchinson and Sa Hna participated in the tournament: and this year Coffewille.

An adjacent, swimming pooi, tennis courts and other attrac tions are being held out to lure the Dest talent in Kansas to the meet. Last year Hutchinson captured the bulk of the prizes, winning the cham pionship cup, the directors' cup and me semi-rinai medal of the champion ship flight.

TO MAKE MEN STRONGER. Chicago Mayor AVU1 Increase Baseball Fields and Play Grounds. Chicago, 111., April 13. Plenty of baseball fields, tennis courts and playgrounds will make Chicago's third generation broad shouldered, red cheeked boys and girls, William Hale Thompson, mayor-elect of Chi cago, asserted in an address from the pulpit of the South Park Methodist church. "It will make "regular people' of them," he said, "and I propose to add a playground to Chicago's possessions every time I get a chance. Take the children out of the alleys and ash barrels into the playgrounds and that is what I call a practical reform which will get wonderful results. It gives children a chance to go where they learn to do right rather than to do wrong for which they will be pun ished afterwards." SHUN THEWOMEN Preacher Advises Jess Willard to leave "Skirts" Alone. Also Tells Him to Stick to Kan sas Water. Chicago, 111., April 13. Jess Wil lard, the world's fistic champion, was handed some advice Sunday night by the Rev. A. D. Thibodeau, pastor of the Sheridan -Road M. E. church. Dr. Thibodeau, who prefaced his evening sermon with comments on the encounter between Willard and Jack Johnson at Havana last week, an nounced ten rules for 'Jess to observe in order to retain the heavyweight title. The ten rules are: Punch the devil every day as ef fectively as you did Jack Johnson. Shun the white light of Broadway. They are the guide-posts to hell. Don't let the pretty, powdered para sites, who are bound to be on your trail, make a fool out of you. Always introduce yourself as Jess Willard of Kansas. Kansas water beats Broadway booze a mile. Stick close to your wife and four babies. They will prevent your tak ing the toboggan slide to hell. Invest your money in a western ranch; get an automobile and take in to your pulse lots of ozone. Clean living is your capital on de posit.' Don't overdraw the account. Steer clear of the green table or the sharks will get you. Hit the Billy Sunday sawdust trail. Come to Chicago next year and help make the town dry.

He will be put to the most terrible test. The women will be after him. The gambling sharks will try to entrap him. I thought a little advice might help him some." GOLF A OOMIXG SPORT.

The State Journal Is a member of ihe Associated press and receives the full day telegraph report of that great news or ganization, for the exclusive afternoon publication In Topeka. The news is received in The State Jour nal building over wires for this sole pur pose, MEMBER: Associated Press. Audit Bureau of Circulations. American Newspaper Publishers Association. Germany's charge that the neutral ity of the United States is a farce may possibly be a little bit prejudiced. No doubt about Jess Willard -being a typical Kansan. He is anxious to get back here and settle down on a ranch. Evidently the supply of Kansas postmasterships is inexhaustible. For many months now, news has come al ;most daily from Washington of the 'appointment of a batch of Kansas postmasters What wonderful progress has been "made in these United States during the short fifty years since Lee surren dered to Grant at Appomattox? His ftory has failed to record the like be .fore in the life of any nation, f. Renewed activity in the war zones, -especially in France and Flanders, on account of the improved weather con ditions, also means another multitude jxf contradictory reports from London,' iParis and Petrograd on the one side and from Berlin and Vienna on the other. f More evidence of the efficiency of 'the Topeka fire department is to be sfound in the fact that it was able to prevent the bad fire which destroyed t4he stock and premises of the Palace Clothing company' from spreading to iiny of the adjoining buildings. This was o small accomplishment. r And the hesitancy of Governor tjohnson of California about having his Estate purchase ar.d operate the West ;ern Pacific railroad may be due to the -fact that he has familiarized himself ;With the highly unsatisfactory and ex ceedingly expensive experience of iTexas with her state-owned railroads. Turkey is threatening to sue for a 'Separate peace unless Germany sends fan additional force of 300,000 men to 'her assistance. This seems to be fur ther evidence that the allies of Ger- !hiany have been more of a hindrance to her than a help. They would have been overwhelmed long ago had it "not been for the aid that Germany has given them. li If you don't join the boosters for the ball team, you haven't the best inter ests of Topeka at heart. A successful ;Jball team is one of the very best ad vertisements that a town can have, and a successful ball team cannot be developed on wind, even of the hot-air variety. It must have the support j" the people In the city it calls home. Help The Savages io their financial feet, even if you are not a dyed-in-the-,vool fan. The millions of men engaged In the European war are now spoken of in a most casual and matter of fact way ty everyone. Yet there are prSbably Jew folk whose power of imagination ;ls sufficiently fertile to visualize the size of an army of one or two or three million men. Proof of this comes in a recent announcement from some Ber lin statisticians. They figure that if Germany's prisoners of war, now said 'to number 780,000 men, were put on parade, they would make a procession 62 5 miles long, or from, Topeka to Chicago and a good 108 miles be ond. APPOMATTOX'S" ANNIVERSARY. "We celebrate this year something more significant than the surrender of Lee's army at Appomattox," declares The New Republic, and it continues: "We celebrate the wiping out of a .terrible possibility the erection of a national frontier through the heart of ..this country. It Is the anniversary of an escape. Had the North failed, we wiow might well be living on a conti nent divided into armed camps, sep arated by bristling boundaries, across "which angry cultures and petty na tionalisms could hurl defiances at each other. We have escaped that. On a territory vaster than that- of Europe, with resources as varied and with people of the same stocks, we have organized an internal peace. We have quarreled, we-shall quarrel. But we shall not fight. We have solved these questions of access to the sea, pf strategic frontiers, ofchurches and of races. No doubt fortune has 'been uncommonly good to us, and by the standards of what was possible we have no ground whatever for com placency. Amidst overflowing plenty we have permitted hideous poverty and absurd riches, to live sidetby side; we have indulged in. a scramble for wealth which has yielded much ugli ness, much barrenness, and large stretches of mediocrity. We have had little prevision our soil, our forests. our mines and our human stock, have been ruthlessly exploited. But we have organized a peace in which bet ter things can be made to grow; we have federated states and nationali ties on a scale, never before success fully attempted; we have established more liberty and more opportunity than ever existed on so great a section of the earth's surface. If there is an American tradition, that Is what it is." WILLIAM K. NELSON. All the newspaper world was inex pressibly shocked today when it re ceived the news of the death of Wil liam Rockhill Nelson, editor and owner of the Kansas City Star, even though the occurrence had been forecasted by a serious illness of several months duration. But while there is life there is hope, and his friends and admirers from one end of the United States to the other, were hoping and praying that he would overcome his 'ailment. as he had overcome the countless ob stacles that beset his path to the prog ress and crowning success that it haa been the portion of few newspaper men to achieve. Before his illness he seemed so rugged, such a colossus of a man in body and mind, as to make it almost certain that many more years of an active life would be vouch safed him, notwithstanding the fact that he had already passed the three score and ten milestone. In his death. modern newspaperdom has lost a com manding figure, a master spirit of the craft, and one who has left a deep im press on his calling. His development of the Kansas City Sta is one of the real romances of newspaper-making in this country. When he and his partner, Mr. Morss, arrived in Kansas City in 1880, after disposing of their newspaper property in Fort Wayne, Ind., it is understood that their sole capital totaled about $1,200 apiece. With this they started the Star in. the fall of that, year, and in an upstairs room on a side street. Nine months later, July, 1881, Presi dent Garfield was shot. And Mr,; Nel son seized this event as. the psycho logical one to make a showing for his struggling paper. He issued an "ex tra" on the shooting and followed it up with others during the ex citement that attended the assas sination. While he had no As sociated Press service, he did have a little service furnished by the Na tional Press association. This organ ization had a good correspondent at Washington. And Colonel Nelson's enterprise and the excellent work of his Washington service, enabled him to give the people of Kansas City the news they were most eager for, and give it promptly. Colonel Nelson met a demand which the other newspapers in Kansas City were slow to supply. The '.result was .'that' the' people) of Kansas City and the surrounding ter ritory immediately took notice of the Star, which hitherto had created nd perceptible impression in newspaper circles. Shortly after this the Asso ciated Press paper, being overshad owed by the Star's enterprise, became moribund, and Colonel Nelson bought the property for the sake of the As sociated Press membership. From that time on, the growth of the Star has continued to its present magnificent I proportions, to the position of one -of j the great newspapers of the United States. But Colonel Nelson not only developed an excellent newspaper. He produced it at a low price, and his 13 papers for 10 cents a week has been the great competition that the news papers in Kansas have had to face. And while the Star was Colonel Nel- I son's hobby, it had to share a place in his affections and his plans with the city that Is its home. Indeed the development of the Star and Kansas j City may be called coincident. And Colonel Nelson played almost as large a part in the making of one as he did in the other. His faith in Kansas City was unbounded. He never hesitated to invest of his means either in the development and expansion of his newspaper, or of the city of his adop- I tion. He has been a tremendous fac tor in the building of the city to its place of importance among the com mercial cities of the nation. Colonel Nelson was not only a great newspaper man. He was alsq a great citizen. And Kansas City has lost a soldier from her ranks whose place probably can never be filled. Speaking of the political limit. Gus- sie Gardner, the jingo congressman of Massachusetts, is placing the blame for the catastrophe that hapoened to the United States submarine F-4 di rectly on the shoulders of Mr. Daniels. the secretary of the navy. BETTER TIMES AHEAD. Henry Clews, the New York Banker. observes in his current financial re view, that the most sanguine opinion is that before the end of the summer we will see the end of the Euro pean war, while the least optimis tic fixes its cessation about the end of the year. "What the effects of peace will be." he adds, "It is diffi cult to measure. It means another period of readjustment to vastly changed conditions. Several of the belligerents will have to face a period of severe exhaustion. First efforts will be confined to reconstruction work, or the rebuilding of homes, fac tories and railways, as well as restora tion of fields and highways to usable conditions. It Is quite possible that each of the nations will show greater recuperative powers than at present anticipated." Our big and increasing balance in foreign trade and evidences that -American railroad affairs have taken a turn for the better are noted by Mr. Clews as elements- that, are playing a part in the increasing. busi ness activity throughout thei'country. and he notes as another Important item, to be considered in this connec tion, the annual remittances for Enrnnpnn trtnritfn nsiiAllv estimated at about $200,000,000, This .sum, will not be sent-abroad this year, but win remain at home, much of it to be dis tributed among American railroads, hotels, and summer resorts. Mr. Clews also writes that the favorable crop outlook is now beginning to be a factor of importance in the trade and financial situation and he says that while general trade is quiet, now that spring has fairly come, there is rea son to look for improvement; in fact the latest reports show that the turn In the current has already begun. "In this connection," he concludes, "the recent large drv goods failures reflect onnrKtinna whifh hplnne to the Past. The belief in early peace, the im proved financial situation,- the recent bnovanrv in the stock market, the more reasonable attitude of legislation towards business, all tend to inspire confidence in the future. Many per sons have overlooked the fact that a nnmhur nf industries are reaping ab normal profits from war contracts. Our farming classes are also very prosperous. The steel trade future is more promising. Each day the belief that we have turned the corner and are on the way to better times is strengthened; hence the present ac tivity in stocks. Conditions are favor able tn continuance of that activity, accompani-sd by sharp fluctuations, de pendent upon the vicissitudes of war." Journal Entries No man can be so wise as to pre clude his making a mistake. Enough is not only as good as a feast but it is less expensive. It is far better to be bent with work than to have no work, at all and be broke.

Driven Out of Dreamland. (By Lawrence Alfred Clay.) Mr. Jason Gill was a farmer's hired man,-' and twenty-two years old. The song' of the turtle dove hadn't yet en tered his heart. When a young man. no matter how strong he ls( puts in from fourteen to sixteen hours per day at farm work' he Is glad enough to go to bed and to sleep without- los ing time over thoughts of Cupid. Jason Gill's time was coming, how ever. Indeed, it was to come within an hour from the time he was. found greasing his boots at the kitchen door on a Sunday morning. "Goin" somewhere queried me farmer. "I thought I'd go down to the river and see if the boys was ketching any fish." "Then as you have to go past Mor ton's keep your eyes peeled." s "For what?" -j- "Her gal Susie got home the other day. You never saw her. She has been livin' with her uncle for the last six months. She used to spend half her time hansrin' over the gate look-: in' fof agents and peddlers, but meb- be she has Improved." "Well. I shan't bite her," laughed Jason as he set out; and long enough before he got there he saw a female figure at the gate "That s probably the gal, he mused. If she's good lookln" I'll look twice at her as I go past. If she's sort o' homely I'll just give one glance out of the corner of my eye." The girl was looking straight at him for the last twenty rods, and as he began to slow down and step softly she said: "Hadn't you better stop and get acquainted?" "Yes, I guess I will." was the reply. You are the Susie who got home the other day?" "Yep. Father says he has met you, but mother never has. Why haven't you been in No gals here. "But therel's going to be one here after this." "Then I'll be coming." ''Pa says he thinks your name is Manson Pill, but isn't sure." "Oh, thunder! Why, it's Jason Gill." "That's just pa, all over. I think the name Jason Gill is one of the sweetest names I ever heard. I used to think Claude d'Artagan was a sweet name, but it sounds" mushy be side yours. Do you like thy name?" "I dote on it." "Then come in and meet mother and stay to dinner." Jason didn t go to the river, but the couple sat on the veranda and talked the rest of the day. When he was ready to start for home to do the milking, he said: "Susie, I've been kinder thinkin'." "Kinder what about, Jason she asked. "Hadn't we orter to say we was en gaged?" "Why, yes, I guess so." And so when Jason went plowing home to the cows through the dusty meadows that lined the highway he had seen, admired, loved and became engaged. And as Susie helped her mother clear the dishes off the table, accom panied by a song and a whistle, she felt that the girl who never hung over the front gate was missing golden op portunities. Ijp among the swagger set it would have taken from six months to a year to accomplish what, they had in half a day, and who could say that one couple would be any happier than the other? The farmer's wife saw a different look about Jason when he got home. You have seen Susie Morton! "You bet!" was the reply. "And you think she is cute?" "Cuter than small apples." "And," continued the woman, "I'll bet you fall in love with her In a month." "Say, Mrs. Wllkins, we have been engaged at least forty minutes." When the cows had been milked and the stock fed Jason headed down the road for Morton's again. He did n't get sight of Susie, but he felt bet ter for hanging around the gate for half an hour. In the field next day Farmer Wil- kins stopped his work to ask: Jason, why in. thunder do you want to fall in lover To see how it feels. "But will you marry?'-- "Sure pop." v'-- "But what on?" "Love and ambition and all .that." The farmer knocked three or four The Evening Story potato bugsofsjyJne,.and then look ed at Jason. "You are about .as big a. fool as they make 'em!" Jason's bedroom window looked to ward Morton's, and Susie's -window looked out toward Wilkin's. Each spent at least' an- hour' at- his or her window gazing In -the opposite dlrec- tion and fondly imagining they could see the lovelight In each other's eyes, though there were three orchards, two barns and -seven haystacks be tween. Jason would have gone to re new his vows of constancy, every eve ning had not some one 'thrown clubs at him if he came over three times a week. If Jason had been a club man and Susie a swagger young lady they would have had their "tiffs." As it was, they never had a misunderstand ing. The parents of the girl knew that Jason was a steady, hard work ing young man, and, though they argued that Susie might do better, they did not fairly oppose her. And on his sparking evenings, when he was ready to go, the conver sation would drift around to: "And. Susie, you hain't sorry I come along that day, are you?" "Indeed I hain't, Jason." "And I bless the hour that I found you at the gate. Had you- any idea you was going to fall in love with me?" "I knew I should." When seven months had passed away Mrs. Morton said to her daugh ter: "Didn't-. you tell me months and months ago that thai bump on a log had asked you'to 'marry him?" "Yes, the first day we r.-et," was the reply. t "And when is the marriage day "Why, mother, we haven't go to that yet." "Well, you had better be a-gittin' to It. -A love match. gets musty if left around a year or so." When Jason was told of this he answered with a half groan: "Why, if I should lose you; you know I should hang mystelfto a tree!" "And I Bhould hunt out the same tree and dangle beside you!" Another six months went past, and then Mr. Mortotn took Jason around behind the barn and said: "It's a year now since you began coming to my house." "Yes, about a year," was the reply. "And are you going to marry Susie, or are you wastiing her time?" "Why, we are going to get married, of course." "When?" "Pretty soon now, I guess." "But why not this week?" "Well, we'll see about it." "If you don't you needn't come around here any more." "But, Mr. Morton, I love Susie so much," was protested. And when he went into the house and demanded certain answers of Susie she replied: "I think' we'd have been married long ago if it wasn't so nice to sit up with a beau three times a week." The subject was dropped there, and for the next year the young folks went right on as before, and the -girlfe) parents didn t know what to do with a young man that courted the way Jason did. Half a dozen times during the year Mr. Morton spat on his hands and started to make his threat good. but nis wife dissuaded him. "But what in. thunder does the fel low mean?" he demanded. "And Susie, too?" she queried. She's as much to blame as he is." "Well, it shall be settled next Sun day." And thereupon they went into committee of Ue whole, to arrange lire piot. Each and every Sunday Jason headed for Mortqn'Sj as soon as he got his chores done up, and remained-ail day. On a particular Sunday he was there as usual, and he and Susie were seated in. the orchard when they were called In.. It was to find the Baptist preacner and Mr. and Mrs. Wllkins there, while all had their Sunday clothes on. "Is this the happy couple?" asked the minister as he rose up. "it is, replied Mr. Morton. "Why, yes." said Jason, "we are happier than two clams. What is go ing to happen here?" There is to be a marriage. I be lieve," replied the minister. "Am I right, my friends?" And thy said he was. and thev took hold of the ceremony and rushed it to the most successful conclusion. When the bewildered victims discov ered what had happened, Susie cried out: "Oh, Jason,-they have gone and married us, and you can't come spark in' any more!" "And we'll never crack any more hickory nuts or eat popcorn together," added Jason'. But the day soon came that the husband said for both: "Why, darn it if this hain't better than, courtln' three nights a week till midnight!" (Copyright, 1915. by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate.)

HUERTAAMONG US Former, Mexican President Is Sow in .United States. He Claims He Is Here for Pleas nre Only. -cZ BUT RUMORS ARE AFLOAT And a Brand New Revolution Is Predicted Freely. A Conference Will Be Held With Felix Diaz. New York, April 13. General Vic toriano .Huerta, former president of Mexico, whose refusal to salute the American flag brought about the United States occupation of Vera Cruz, arrived In New York late this afternoon on the Spanish line steam ship Antonio Lopez from Cadiz.- Compelled before being -"permitted to land' to make affidavit that he would do nothing while here to in volve tha neutrality of the United States, Huerta came ashore with Abraham Ratner, one of his travel ing companions who was expelled from Mexico by the late President Madero for supplying arms and am munition to Pascual Orozco-' and later under the Huerta regime returned to Tampico, where he was an agent for Huerta in the shipment of war ma terial. Mr- Ratner described himself today as the financial adviser of Huerta, with whom he haa been living in Spain for the past three months. He and the former president, together with Gen. Jose Del Gado, Huerta's secretary, went to the Ansonia, where a series of important conferences with important Mexican refugees on the situation in Mexico will be held during the next few weeks. Here for Pleasure. Huerta informed the immigration authorities to whom he- made his af fidavit that his stay in the United States would be limited to 30 days; that he is here for pleasure and to at tend to some personal business and will return to Spain within the time specified, probably on the same ship that brought him over. There are persistent rumors, how ever, that Huerta's real mission Is to prepare for a fresh invasion of Mex ico. He is known to have been in con ference recently with wealthy Mexican refugees in Paris and is believed to have a message from Don Porfirio Diaz, the former president, as to plans for restoring the old regime at Mexico City. Felix Diaz, nephew of Don Por firio, who has lived for some time in the United States, is one of those with whom Huerta will have an early con ference. In line with the belief that a fresh revolution is impending was the statement made at the steamer pier today by Captain Ruiz Nunez, one of Huerta's old officers, who met him. "Now watch us all go back," he said. Reminded that Huerta had just pledged himself not to create any fresh trouble, Nunez said: r- "To :with pledges." s Huerta. Denies It. Huerta himself; when asked about the possibility of his return to the scenes of his old activities replied: "Mexico is no place for an old man like me at this time. The country is in such a terrible state that It would be unwise for me to go there at present." Some one asked if he did not fear an attack here in New York where so many of the old followers of Madero have sought refuge. "When a man gets as old as I am," was the reply, "he does not care whether he is attacked or not." Through his secretary Huerta de nied that he had seen Don Porfirio Diaz during his stay abroad. Asked if he expected to see Felix Diaz he re plied:. "I always see every one who calls on me." There was no memoer of the Mexi can colony at quarantine, to meet the former president. But at the steamer pier there was a small crowd of his sympathizers who gave him a thin cheer as he walked down the plank He was met in succession by Generals Quieroz and Orizquieta and Senor Serrada, personal friends, and Eugeio Paredes, former treasurer of the Mex ican government under the Huerta administration. Each in turn threw his arms about the general and was embraced. LIFTED BOLT OF SILK. Bold Negro Enters Paxton Store at Noon Other Thefts. Following unusual activities among shoplifters in Topeka, the police are looking for a negro, 6 feet tall, heavy set, with a deep scar on his neck. Reports were sent to the police sta tion this afternoon that a man bear ing the description entered the Pax ton Paxton department store, East Sixth street, this afternoon about 12:45 o'clock and "lifted" a bolt of blue silk from the counter. The ne gro was chased, to First and Jefferson street by employees of the store and at that place was lost. A similar theft by. a man of much the same description was reported Monday evening at the Capital Shirt factory.. At the shirt factory the thief took cloth that had been cut for a shirt. Cloth for a suit of clothes was also "lifted" in a similar manner from the Wolfe Tailoring shop. Several similar cases have been reported in the last week. MOVE GAS OFFICE.

That Topeka merchants, fans and business men -have, not lost their am bition to put this city on the baseball map of the Western league, and that they have faith and confidence in the rejuvenated team was made evident at the Commercial club at noon, today when it was announced that 32,600 w-orth of season tickets would easily be sold by tonight and possibly the $3, 000 mark would be reached. Those who volunteered their ser vices to help to start the team off with enough money to buy the axle grease have worked faithfully, conscien tiously and hard and something like $2,000 worth of tickets had been sold at noon today. Most of the workers met at the Commercial club for luncheon, and final plans for canvassing North To peka and the untouched territory this side of the river -were made. -'Those .who 'were at the Commercial club reported in $1,545 and some of those who reported stated that they still had bright prospects for the aft ernoon. Those Who Lead. The team composed of Dr. J. F. Ernest,: Major Glueck and B. B.- Idle man had sold at noon today $385 worth of tickets and led the list. George Godfrey Moore and A. B. C. Dutcher were next with $335 and Charles Joslin was third with $300. Other Who rpnnrto1 lows: Geo. Stansfield, $165; M. Lock, $155; Thomas Mackey, $135; William i- icSci aim i v.. wnun, fleu; A. Beronious, $20; I. Snattinger, $16, and F. Rupple, $6 Owner Savage stated that he was most grateful for the way In which the people of Topeka had come to the rescue by buying tickets and said that he felt it beyond his power to repay the members of the Commercial club, the men who have worked in the cam paign and Secretary J. Will Kelley, who has assumed the responsibility of managing the campaign and who has spared neither time nor labor in keep ing the pot boiling and the boosters boosting. "I don't believe Mr. Kelley could have taken a greater Interest if it had been his own ball club," Mr. Savage said. "And I don't believe you could find a more loyal set of boosters in the United States than the men who laid aside their own business to get out on the streets and sell tickets for us." IN FEDERAL COURT. Case of Men Alleged Car Seal Break ers to Jury. Trial of James McBee, Lewis How ard and Fred Withers,, charged with breaking the seal of a car containing an interstate shipment of meat in Kan sas City, more than two years ago, consumed all the morning proceedings and part of the afternoon in the fed eral court before Judge Pollock this morning. The three men, all Kansas Cityaiis, were Indicted by a grand jury two years ago and the case has been to the supreme court and back to the district court. The alleged offense occurred January 23, 1913. The case was in the hands of the jury late this afternoon. QUEEN GETS INTO MORE TROUBLE. For several days after her narrow escape from drowning in the brook, Oueen was very content to sit and dream by the warm fire; and she gave her good friend Bob no anxiety. But such comfort was not to last long. She. soon forgot her former lesson and set out in search of trouble and when Queen hunted for trouble she ways found itcats and people both can do that, you know! "It's all right to sit by the fire when it rains outdoors," said Queen to her self, "but where is there a cat who wants to stay there on a warm spring day?" Qf. course, nobody ..answered (be? cause she was careful to ask her question when no one could hear) so she lazily stretched herself and started- for the door. "Another day of that fireside would make .a regular Tabby of me," she. said,- vTm getting fat as it is!" r She crept down -the front hall and slipped out the front door which hap pened to be open for ventilation, "I hope I won't run into old Bob," she mused, "he'd be sure to tell me to be careful of the brook," which wasn't a very nice remark for her to make, considering how bravely the collie Bob had swam out and rescued her from her own folly only the week before! Across the porch she made her way, down the path towards the barn she walked with her most dignified step. As she neared the barn she scented a mouse. "One Is near!" she said to herself, and quick as a flash all her queenly dignity, was forgotten and down the path she raced; out across the barnyard; through the garden and clear Into the cornfield. There she caught him; but she didn't eat him not she! She lived on cream and aris tocratic food! No common mice for her! She just caught mice, because, j being a cat, she couidn t neip it: Her brisk run had warmed her up and made her hungry. "I don't believe I am getting fat one bit," she said to herself, "and I think I might just as well drink some more cream any time I want it! I wonder if I could get some at the milk house now?" She crept along towards the milk WAS GOOD SPORT' Says "Bob" Stone of Div Guild In Farewell Address. Prominent Minister Honored i by Commercial Club. No one need to think twice in order to say a good word for Dr. Roy B. Guild, according to Robert Stone, one of the speakers in connection with a farewell luncheon for Dr. Guild given at the Commercial club at noon to day and attended by 75 business men. Many were the expressions of appre ciation of the work of Dr. Guild for the best interests of Topeka In the tvir vAai-a in which he has been pas tor of the Central Congregational church. J. Will Kellev. secretary, read a res olution adopted by the board of direc tors or tne ciud or wnicn ur. uuim was a member, expressing regret be cause of the necessity of losing this valuable man. "In college days Dr. Guild was known as a sport a good sport." said Robert Stone. "He has carried Into his life work the same manly spirit. He has stood for making Topeka a better city in which to live." "Dr. Guild has push and poise," said Judge T. F. Garver. "Many men have push but lack good judgment. With- out Dr. Guild the social survey would not have been made in Topeka. In no place has he been found wanting." In a few well chosen words Dr. Guild expressed his appreciation of the compliments paid htm. "If I felt that being a minister meant that I was shut out from' the everyday affairs of men I wouldn't be In the ministry twenty-four hours." said he. "I believe the church should have a vital part in all the affairs of the community." Dr. Guild will become associate secretary of the Federal Council of Churches of Christ in America with headquarters in New York. He will be associated with Fred B. Smith, who was at the head of the Men and Re ligion movement. "Our object will be to create pub lic opinion so as to make it impossible to start new churches where there are already too many churches. The country is ready for it. It is not a case of spending less money, but of spending more and getting better re sults. A public reception will be held for Dr. and Mrs. Guild tonight at the Central church, to which the public is invited. The Guild family will leave for New. York Wednesday afternoon. DEATHS AND FUNERALS. Miss Mabel Warren, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. D. Warren, 934 Morris ave nue, died this morning at Pocatello, Idaho, following an operation for kid ney trouble. The body will be brought to Topeka for burial; funeral arrange ments will be made later. Edith Aldridge, age 35, died last night at her home, 355 Roosevelt street.

Queen licked her -chops as she saw it (was ever anything so good aa fresh cream?) and looked -around. Not a soul was In sight! The whole thing nan, cream and all. "I'm sure If they knew how hungry I am, they would say, 'help yourself. Queen,' maybe I'd better Just oblige them!" she added. In order to be very sure, she went to the door and looked again. Not a person was to be seen except Bob, who was looking for her. "I'd better eat before he comes, or he will tell me not to," said Queen, and she made a dash for the huge pan of cream! Whether she jumped too hard, or whether the pan was not set on the table quite securely. Queen never knew. She only Knew that the whole thing pan, cream and all, descended upon her poor scheming head! And Bob? All he saw was a streak of creamy whiteness rushing meowtngly past him and a puddle of cream on the floor! (Copyright Clara Ingram. Judson. Tomorrow Strange Canoes. mm. TOPEKA BRANCH STORE W; W.

Trains To Be Operated Between Salina and Lincoln by 1916. IN RAILROADLESS COUNTRY Farmers and Towns on Route Are Backing Proposition. Other Items of General Interest in the Traffic World. Actual construction work on the Salina Northern railway will start in a few days probably the latter half of this week. A great deal of interest is being taken in this road, which will run through a territory hitherto un traversed by railroads. John Argo, chief engineer of the Salina Northern, will begin work on the trench aid grades. Contract has been let for 40 miles of grading. As soon as the county right of way is secured, the work of grading will start from Salina. Argo is only waiting for the condemnation appraisers to file their report. As soon as the apprais ers finish in Lincoln county, another gang of workmen will begin from Lin coln. Already the work on the bridges across the Mulberry and Dry creeks has begun and the piers are now in place. The Ptilina Northern will run from Salina to Osborne, from Lincoln north through a railroadless country. Un der the contracts, trains must be oper ating between Salina and Lincoln by IJecember 31. 1915. and between Sa lina and Osborne by December 31. 1916. Nine thousand tons of 70 pound rails have been purchased from the Illinois Steel company and delivery is guaranteed In May. History of Projects. A road from Salina to Osborne has often been planned. Many times the project was tried. A survey was run. but the construction got no further. Two years ago it was revived, under the name of the Salina. Tipton Northern, and Salina people subscrib ed $30,000 in stock. But the railroad died before work began. The people of Tipton. Osborne and other towns did not give up. Last fall. Hal Neiswanger. a prominent cit izen of Osborne, who has made this road his dream for years, wrote to Salina that the road would be revived again and this time built. For a month nothing more was heard of it. Then Neiswanger arrived in Salina and an nounced that E. A. Tennis, a man who had built 30 or more railroads, would take up the work. Mr. Tennis went to Salina early in the winter and made his proposition. This proposition was different from others in that no stock was sold. He asked aid bonds from the towns and townships and aid sub scriptions for the people. Salina was asked to take up $100,000 worth of bonds, Tipton $85,008, the townships from $10,000 to $20,000 apiece. The contract specified that the road should not be bonded to exceed $17,500 a mile. None of the money on subscrip tions will be paid until the line is run ning from Salina to Lincoln, when half will be collected and half the bonds delivered. The balance will be collected when the road is running from Salina to Osborne. The chamber of commerce at Salina endorsed the proposition, as did all towns and town ships, and all aid bond elections were set for January 4. The elections all carried, most of them unanimously. The bond subscriptions naturally came slower, and there is money yet to be raised. E. A. Tennis is making all arrange ments. Some right of way has been secured by donations or contract and the appraisers have been condemning the balance. The surveys and perma nent lines have been run, agreements made with alt roads to cross their tracks and for entrance to the Salina union station, which is nearly com pleted. Ben Brown has been awarded the bridge contracts, the steel for which has already been purchased. An Arkansas lumber firm has the con tract for all the ties and although Mr. j Tennis's contract with the chamber of commerce calls for but 2.600 ties per j mile, the same used in standard roads, he will place 2.880 to the mile, i according to reports from Salina. j So the situation stands now. Argo is i ready to lay track, but must wait for the appraisers' board to file its cer i tificates for the first county before he can begin to grade. The ties are ex peeted at any time and the steel is j due in May. Depot sites have been secured. Officers of Koad. I The officers of the Salina Northern are F. C. York, Salina. president; H. j W. Neiswanger, Osborne, vice presi dent; F. L. Brown. Torktown, secre j tary; Thomas Corpstein. Tipton, treas I urer; Thomas Brann. Jr., Lincoln, j chairman board of directors. The Keystone Construction com pany, which will build the road, has these officers: E. A. Tennis, presi dent; G. A. Spencer, Salina, vice pres ident; E. D. Stack. Salina, secretary; S. H. Rankin, Salt Lake, treasurer; John J. Argo, Denver, chief engineer. The road will run from Salina to Lincoln, thence to Osborne. It strikes through Tipton and Torktown, where there are no lines at present. The people in these towns have tried for years to get a railroad. Both com munities have many wealthy people. The road will operate through one of the greatest wheat, cattle and dairy sections of the state. People of Os borne long wanted a better outlet than the Central Branch. Had Xo Brass Band. The Salina Northern has been in augurated without the usual brass band accompaniment and although Tennis has not yet started to build it stating that all the bond money has not been raised yet he is going so far along with the work that there is lit tle doubt of the contract being ful filled. A week ago the public utilities com mission granted the road the right to issue $1,500,000 in stock and the same amount in bonds. MILLER MADE CLAIM AG EXT. Several Other Changes Announced Today by H.

Judge Whitcomb Utiles Against Util ity Body in Ely Case, In a written opinion, delivered last night. Judge Geo. H. Whitcomb of the second division of the district court made permanent his ruling setting aside the order of the public utilities commission limiting the sale of nat ural gas in Kansas to that which is registered as having a fuel value of 800 British thermal units. The deci sion was rendered in the suit of Seth G. Ely of Chautauqua county against claim agent of the coast lines of the system, vice H. J.

Headquarters for these two men are at Los Angeles. Cal. Mr. Miller began his railroad work Washington, April 13. Surgeon General Gorgas of the army today had under consideration an offer from the Rockefeller foundation to become a permanent member of its staff is gen eral adviser in matters relating to public sanitation and control of epi demics. He is particularly wanted to take charge of the medical relief ex pedition sent by the American Red Cross to Serbia to stamp out the ty phus scourge, in support of which the foundation is co-operating. The need of a competent adviser in problems of public health, includ ing the control of epidemics, he said, had been felt by the trustees during the two years' existence and when it was decided to take charge of the typhus scourge in Serbia General Gorgas was regarded as pre-eminently fitted for the task. General Gorgas is now entitled un der the law to retire at any time and it would not be necessary for him to resign his commission in the army in order to accept the position unless he is sent to Serbia. As a retired army officer he could not undertake work witnin tne territory of a belligerent. General Gorgas' most noted achieve ments were his work in cleaning up Havana, Cuba, and in conquering dis ease in the Panama canal zone, which made possible the digging of the big ditch. This was followed by his se lection for the post of surg-eon gen eral and later hie promotion by special act of congress to the rank of major general. Dope Famine Checks Crime. Philadelphia.

TO DARKEN HAIR APPLY SAGE TEA few applications of Sage Tea and Sulphur bring back its vigor, color, gloss and thickness. Common garden sage brewed into a heavy tea with sulphur and alcohol added, will turn gray, streaked and faded hair beautifully dark and luxur iant, remove every bit of dandruff, stop scalp itching and falling hair. Just a few applications wiU prove a revelation if your hair is fading, gray or dry. scraggly and thin.- Mixing the Sage Tea and Sulphur recipe at home, though, is troublesome. An easier way is to get the ready-to-use tonic, costing about 50 cents a large bottle at drug stores, known as "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound." thus avoiding a lot of muss. While wispy, gray, faded hair is not sinful, we aU desire to retain our youthful appearance and attractive ness. By darkening your hair with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur, no one can tell, because it does so naturally, so evenly. Tou just dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time: by morning all gray hairs have disappeared, and, after an other application or two. your hair be comes beautifully dark, glossy, soft and luxuiMuit Ai See what you need in new Rugs for the living; room, dining; room, li brary or parlor, and then take prompt advantage of this rare opportun ity to buy the newest and prettiest rugs at the lowest prices you have ever known for qualities like these.

ARMY fJF'BLUE" Four Hundred Workers Organ ized for Washburn. No S stitute Leaving Them Out, It Is Best of All Big Cities. Big $200,000 Campaign Begins Here Thursday. There ub IS IT IS WELL UP IN BIRTHS Rate Is Exceeded Only hy K. C. and Independence. Cancer Is Far in the Lead of Fatal Diseases. Topeka's death rate In 1914 was higher than that of other large towns In Kansas, according to figures today by W. J. V. Deacon, registrar in the state board of health, who issued a statement taking a severe fall out of the local mortuary figures. While Topeka. with her numerous hospitals, attained a record death rate, the birth rate in the capital ,city was exceeded by but two Kansas towns Independ ence and Kansas City, Kan. Exempting the nonresident deaths, Topeka's record against the general record of all first class cities in the state, gives her the best showing. In cluding deaths of 199 nonresidents, Topeka's death record for 1914 was 16.53 for each 1.000 population. Ex empting the nonresidents, the rate is reduced to 12.75. This showing would put Topeka .32 per cent below the record of any other first class city in Kansas. In the matter or births. Topeka made a showing of 20 per 1.000 popu lation. Independence made a show ing of 23. while Kansas City, Kan registered 22.8. The tabulation of percentages is made by Registrar Deacon on 1914 census returns, giving Topeka a population of 49.840. The 1914 record in Topeka shows R24 deaths, including 199 deaths of non-residents in local hospitals. This record is for the city at large and the big hospitals, including Topeka asylum with its 1.000 patients. While none of these patients are credited to the census showing, all deaths are charged to the city's mortuary account, s When the city recently made its re port, it showed a death rate of 10.9 for each 1,000 inhabitants, exclusive of hospital returns. The board of health returns, however, show a rate of 12.75 independent of non-residents and 16.53 of all classifications. Analyze State Returns. Analyzed, the state returns show that 12.97 per cent of all deaths of residents and non-residents in Topeka were npBToes. In addition to this is the fact that most of the hospital deaths were whites. The negro population in To peka is 10.5 per cent of the total or S.432. During the year 106 negroes died. Topeka's death record in part shows 11 suicides, 3 deaths from burning, 2 drowning, 7 railroad accidents, 4 au tomobile, 4 murder, 1 cold, 1 heat, 1 infantile paralysis, 37 old age, 49 tu berculosis, 3 whooping cough, 53 can cer, 6 diphtheria, 2 measles, 5 typhoid fevor. Showing of the Kansas towns with population of more than 10,000 is as follows, based on 1,000 population: Kansas City, 14.2; Wichita, 11; Hutchinson, 11.5; Coffeyville, 12.5; Independence, 16.1; Leavenworth, 15.1; Parsons, 14.8; Lawrence, 14.4; Pittsburg, 14.1; Fort Scott, 12; Atchi son, 12.1. Birth rate of the various cities, per J1.000 population, was: Atchison. 14.9; Fort Scott. 18.8; Pittsburg, 19.3; Topeka, 29; Lawrence, 13.6; Parsons, 18.4; Leavenworth, 15.7; Independence, 23; Kansas City, 2 2.8; Coffeyville, 19.8; Hutchinson, 18.3; Wichita, 16.8. CURRENT TOPIC DINNER Topeka Organization Adjourns Until Kai-Iy In October. As the wind-up of a successful sea son, the first annual banquet of the Current Topic club of the Y. M. C. A. was held Monday evening in Gemmeli hall of the Association building. Fol lowing the banquet, at which members cf the club entertained their ladies, the club was adjourned until next Oc tober. Ralph H. Gaw, president of the club, acted as toastmaster at the Mon day evening affair. The program con sisted of musical numbers, readings and short talks. A violin selection was given by Carlton Wood. John Cleveland, vice president, in a short talk on "The Current Topic Club," gave a brief his tory of the organization. A saxo phone solo' was given by Leo Elmore and a xylophone selection by Harry C. Snyder. Miss Clara Belle Banta gave a number of readings. The program was completed by E. C. Fox in a number of impersonations. Officers of the club who have pre sided since the club was organized: Ralph W. Gaw, president; John M. Save the Difference "Others cost more. Like Elburn best." That's what so many customers say. Just Read this bit of evidence: Elburn er Piano Play $435 JKJBSggg Only Pay 10 Dollars a Month 714 Administration Officials Charged Conspiring to Wreck Bank. New York, April 13. The long brewing fight between the treasury department and the National City Bank in New York reached its climax when Secretary McAdoo and Comp troller of the Currency John- Skelton Williams were charged in the District of Columbia supreme court with com bining and conspiring "in a deliberate attempt to wreck", the Riggs National bank of Washington, an institution, af filiated with the local bank. This action spills much pent up bad blood between Messrs. McAdoo and Williams on one eide and the- Riggs National and National City bank on the other. Behind Messrs. McAdoo and Wil liams are all the resources and powers of President Wilson and his adminis tration. Behind the Riggs bank are the un limited wealth and great influence- of the Stillman-Rockefeller interests, though at the National City bank it was declared that that institution had nothing whatever to do with the legal proceedings, a statement technically true. In financial circles the bringing of so grave a charge against the highest financial officials of the federal gov ernment caused amazement, notwith standing the known strained relations. The political consequences of this challenge to the Wilson administra tion are expected to be momentous. In Sympathy With Bank. The local financial community is almost wholly in sympathy with the banking interests involved. For this reason: When Mr. McAdoo and Mr. Wil liams were called to Washington it was understood they were anxious to "get even" with financial New York in general and with the National City bank in particular because of the ex periences these gentlemen had had during their business careers. Mr. McAdoo completed the "McAdoo tun nels" but his project was not support ed financially by certain financial "in stitutions. Mr. McAdoo's enterprise finally went into what Mr. Whiteridge aptly called "unostentatious bank ruptcy" much to the chagrin of its sponsor. Interests not identified with the National City bank came to its rescue. Mr. McAdoo, it was said, was not in an amiable frame of mind to ward New York when he was placed in charge of the treasury. Mr. Williams, then a banker and railway magnate in Richmond, Va., had had an equally disagreeable ex perience with New York financiers. He had been ousted from the Sea board Air Line railway, which he at one time controlled, and among those who assumed direction of the prop erty were Frank A. Vanderlip, presi dent of the National City bank; Ben jamin Strong, Jrr "(now governof"of the New York Federal Reserve bank) X A. H. Wiggin, Charles H. Sabin and others identified with the Ryan or Morgan interests. Woman in Case. Soon after Messrs. McAdo and Wil liams took command at Washington, a young woman who compiled certain treasury records for the Riggs and the National City bank was unceremon iously ousted and a statement issued by the department which brought forth a pointed reply from the bank ers. "Sleuths" were dispatched to New York to dig into the records of the National City bank covering many years in an effort to find some cause for a fresh attack but all that was found was a Chicago railway loan which was criticised but was not found illegal. Milton L. Ailes of the Riggs bank next had a sharp encounter with the treasury heads. Mr. Williams was accused of ques tionable conduct in connection with the Munsey Trust company's absorp tion of the United States Trust com pany of Washington. And so the fight has been waged. Now comes the climax. BLOW UP THE HILLS. That's Purpose of the Topeka Automobile Club In Session Tonight.

The small army of 400 workers in the Washburn college campaign for $200,000 of the proposed half million dollar endowment fund is now prac tically recruited. The entire force will meetat the Auditorium Wednesday evening when short talks will be made and final instructions given for the campaign which will start Thursday morning and continue throughout ten working days. Dinner will be served at 6:30 o'clock. E. A. Tirril, field marshal for Di vision "C," was named as secretary of the campaign executive committee to day, and Charles S. Elliott, treasurer. A meeting of Division "D" under Mrs. A. .Marburg was held this morn ing at campaign headquarters on the second floor of the Capitol Building and Loan building, a feature of which was a talk by Dean D. L. McEachron "I know you feel that in working for the college in this enterprise," said he, "you are making a real contnbu tion to the intellectual and moral and spiritual life of Topeka, that the work that you are doing will be work that will bring results along these lines through all the years. It sometimes s said that it is hard to raise money for endowment, and that may be true. I cannot see why, and believe the workers ought to have this idea that the man or woman who gives some thing to the endowment fund of a worthy institution is putting a part of his or her life at work for all time. Even the best built buildings run down, but the endowment funds, as they are handled in worthy colleges are good for all time to come. That fund is part of some one's life work ing for the young people of the col lege. Dr. Guild of the Central church has an expression 'make one's life broad as well as long' and the way to broaden one's life is to get influences outside of one's self, reaching out and touching other lines and helping them. "I am sure this division and the or ganization as a whole feel that they are doing as fine a piece of benevo lent work as ever comes to the lot of people to do. Speaking for the college I want to express my deep apprecia tion of the enterprise and loyalty and spirit of service that we are meeting on every hand." A meeting of the parade committee under Dr. E. S. Pettyjohn will be held this evening at 7 o'clock at the Na tional hotel. Announcement was made today that the Women's Commercial club will have an auto in. the parade. The Topeka Edison .company: will furnish the current to illuminate, the big clock that will be placed on the Capitol Building and Loan building and which will indicate the progress made in the campaign.

This remark was made by one of four young ladies who were shortly afterward injured in a runaway Sun day evening on West Tenth street, about half way between Gage park and Topeka. Ail four girls were hurt when the surrey in which they; were riding was demolished, at the west end of the stone bridge near the Sachs greenhouse. Mrs. Verna Reed, of the Taylor tract, was the most se riously injured. The party was driving east on West Tenth when a buggy came ud behind. It was dark, and one of the idrls said she thought the driver of- the other rig was drunk. The buggy collided with the surrey in which the young ladies were riding, and their horse became frightened and started to run. The girls were thrown out and Mrs. Reef was rendered unconscious. They were taken into a house near the scene of the accident, where their injuries were attended. Tho horse dragged one shaft and the front wheels of the rig to Twelfth and Clay street where he was stopped by a street car conductor. r The names of three. of the-numbers of the party could not 1e found" as those who were concerned m the af fair refused to talk. Stories about the runaway differ widely. Frank Sachs, who owns the greenhouse near the bridge, said that both rigs were demolished but that no one was in jured. The four ladies had been visit ing at a place on Washburn avenue and decided to take a ride. It was then that the remark previously writ ten was made. 'J ...TDD UTE TP CLASSIFY.

THE TOPEKA. DAILY STATE JOUR WAT, TUESDAY EVENING APRIL 13, 1915. WILL COME BACK Gifts to Washburn Are a Matter of Investment. Growth of College of Value to Topeka. Great 3,000 ATTENDED RECEPTION Opening Gnn of Endowment Campaign Fired. "Washburn Is Finest College in the World." The "opening gun" of the Wash burn college endowment campaign, which has as its object the creation of a half million dollar fund $200,000 in Topeka was fired Monday night when nearly 8.000 persons attended a mammoth reception listening to three minute "pep" speeches, and looking over the "plant." The campaign proper will start Thursday. The "at home" function served as an eye-opener to many Topekans who had never been through the college buildings, and the speeches were con ducive to arousing enthusiasm. Wash burn was at her best. Scores of elec tric lights strung by the street rail way company gave the campus a fairy like appearance. Return Value Received. "Washburn Is asking for contribu tions, but will return value received," said Robert Stone, chairman of the executive committee who presided. "We are not asking you to give as a matter of beggary, but as an invest ment." Best in the World. "Washburn is the finest college in the world to me," said Dean D. L. McEachron. "That is because, how ever, it is my college. I know her shortcomings and do not overestimate her. I see her possibilities In the capital city and this state with lofty ideals. I see boundless opportunities for Topeka, Washburn and Kansas working together." "In the first place Washburn col lege has a good name granted her. by the state of Kansas," said A. A. God ard. "It has a dean of whom we are proud he's a great man. We .have the greatest campus in the country." These were but a few of tho goad things that the speaker had to say about Washburn college, and in point of numbers he would have won the prize if one had been, offered. Washburn Belongs to Kansas. The Rev. W. E. Brehm. superin tendent of the Kansas Congregational conference, told of the great religious influence of the college. "I am be ginning to think more and more that Washburn, belongs to Kansas," he said. "It Is a great moral and spiritual asset." "The thing that impresses me," said COCOANUT OIL MAKES A SPLENDID SHAMPOO If you want to keep your hair in good condition, the less soap you use the better. Most soaps and prepared sham poos contain too much alkali. This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and is very harmful. Just plain in unified cocoanut oil (which is pure and entirely greaseless), is much better than soap or any thing else you can use for sham pooing, as this can't possibly injure the hair. Simply moisten your hair with water and rub it in. One or two teaspoonfuls will make an abun dance of rich, creamy lather, and cleanses the hair and scalp thor oughly. The lather, rinses out easily, and removes every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and exces sive oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves it fine anil silky, bright, fluffy and easy to manage. "Tou can get mulsified cocoanut oil at most any drug store. It is very cheap, and a few ounces is enough to last everyone in the fam ily for months. Those who in April date their years. Diamonds should wear, lest bitter tears for vain repentance flow.

SatifaTfeWafcfifiT 821 Kansas Ave. Topeka. "Our Wedding Rings -Insure Happy Marriages" i DrI Edwin Locke, pastor of the Euclid Methodist church, "is that Washburn stands for a better man hood and womanhood in Kansas." The Time and the Place. Mrs. C. J. Evans offered two rea' sons why Topeka should contribute liberally towards the support 01 Washburn collesre. "First." said she "thto. is the time, to build up a big school; second, this is the place. "It is the time to build up a great school because- this is a time when forces are being concentrated in fields of human endeavor.' In Indus try it is the day of big business. In religion we are discussing the neces sity- of federating the churches. We are all agreed that we have been wasting an immense amount of force in our effort i to maintain too-, many small colleges. We have come to see that in order that a college may ade quately meet the great requirements of today that it must have a large and sure support. Washburn must be big institution because the day of small colleges is passing away. Washburn Must Be Big. "But second, Washburn must be a big school because this Is the place for a big school. Its history, its location and its character seem to Justify that belief. But we do not rely solely upon our impartial judgment. A great edu cational board has made a compre hensive survey of the entire education al field of the country and has con firmed our belief that this is one the places for building a great school This offer of $100,000 does not mean simply the offer of so much money Its greatest significance is that it car ries with it the deliberate judgment of this body of expert educators who are fully acquainted with our history. location and character, that this is one of the Institutions which ought to be improved. "If these men believe in us why should we not believe in ourselves? This is the place for a big school." Place in Educational Economy. "Washburn has a place in the edu cational economy of Kansas." said W. D. Ross, state superintendent of pub lic instructcion in the course of his re marks. The Rev. Ralph Ward, pastor of the Westminster .Presbyterian church. gave this advice: "If you can't give roucn to Washburn college yourself. use your tongues and put your heart in your tongue for Washburn." Dr. Fisk who was received with ap piause, gave the closing talk. In a forceful manner he told of the serious work that Washburn college; is doing. He stated that from his personal ex perience in various institutions of learning the largest percentage of in tellectual and moral seriousness exists at Washburn college. The singing by the Washburn Glee club was a pleasing feature of the program. Washburn chapel was packed for the occasion. Many persons were standing at the back of the room. Guests Were Well Received. All the buildings were lighted and the professors were "at home" in their respective departments to answer any and all questions that might be put. In Carnegie library the guests were re ceived by W. W. Mills, who introduced them to Governor and Mrs. Arthur Capper, Justice and Mrs. Silas Porter and Dr. and Mrs. W. A. McCarter. Members of the student reception committee, as in the other buildings, guided the visitors and showed them the things of interest. At the home of Dean and Mrs. D. L. MciEachroit the "White House" the visitors were received by Mrs. H. O. Garvey, who introduced them to Dean and Mrs. McEachron, Mr. and Mrs. A. A. Godard and Mr. and Mrs. L. C. Schnacke. Numerous promnient To pekans assisted throughout the rooms. At the gymnasium. Coach and Mrs. Glen Gray. Miss Helen Griffin, of the department of physical education, and Mrs. Dr. F. J. Ernest were the recep tion committee. Refreshments were served in the gymnasium. The ob servatory was visited by many of the visitors. REMOVE POSTMASTER.

s. y;--:::S:v:&4;:-:ft:--: 1 it. Billie Burke at the AT THE THEATERS, AI. (1. Field Thursday. That he really has been conducting one of the greatest health agencies of bis time is the discovery which Al. G. Field.the unrivalled minstrel manager. has lust made. He has the word of science, for it none other than the famous Dr. Naiglix of Liege univer sity, Belgium. In his most recent work, the Belgian professor declares that a good laugh does more than any thing else to dispel the depressed feel ings that follow various diseases, and that all the vital organs of the body are more or less influenced for good by laughter. Al. G. Field, after reading the most recent volume of the Belgian profes sor, thus became conscious of the fact that he has been one of the country's most beneficent physicians through his foremost position as a minstrel manager. With all this true, where can you buy so much of nature's remedy- laughter for so little, as tou can -at the performance of the -Al. G. Field Minstrels. Xou will get more for your money this year than ever before, Dr." Field assures. Miss BilUe Burke In "Jerry." Miss Billie Burke- will visit the Grand next Friday, appearing in "Jerrv." the American comedy by Catherine Chisholm Cushing in which she scored one of her biggest successes at the Lyceum theater, New York, last season. This is the play in which Miss Burke wears the pink pajamas that New Tork admired so much. The piece tells an amusing story of how a breezy young Chicago girl "upsets' the routine of a staid and proper house hold in a quiet Philadelphia suburb and eventually elopes with the man to whom her aunt has been engaged for twenty years. The role of the girl ought to fit Miss Burke precisely and they say it does. William H. Crane. Five bie stars in a single play that is what Joseph Brooks Is giving the theater-going public this year in his supeib revision of Bronson How ard's "The Henrietta," wnicn, re-wm-ten and modernized by Winchell Smith and Victor Mapes, has been re christened "The New Henrietta." 'The stars are William H. Crane, Thomas w Ttnss. Maclvn Arbuckle, Amelia Bingham and Mabel Taliaferro, names too well known to the theater-going public to need introduction. Hip Review. Annette Kellerman, in "Neptune's Daughter," is the attraction at the Hip this week. "Neptune's Daughter" is ranked today as one of the great mo tion pictures. Miss Kellerman, the world's greatest swimmer and diver, was able to show her prowess in the water in this pic ture, interwoven with a romantic love and fairy tale. The diver ran through her repertoire of dives in one reel and in several instances showed her abil ity as a swimmer. It was a fantastical story. Annette Kellerman was at her best In the dance of the morning glories and the dance of the Jeweled dagger, with the exception of her diving and swimming. A large audience saw the picture Mon day. S. J. Novelty JKeview. Comedy was the leading feature at the Novelty the, first half of the week. The first act was given by the Kru saders, musicians and dancers, dressed in colonial fashion. The gentleman Krusader is an excellent violinist and his cute looking "better half" was a pleasing dancer. Hong Fong, a Chinese comedian. was the first of that species that has been here this season, at least in com edy. Hong Fong is different from a Yankee comedy man and his pleasan tries and songs were so picturesquely odd that they proved popular. Will H. Armstrong and two pretty women. Maudie Smith and Geraldine Field, presented "The Baggage Man," a farce in one act. The antics of Armstrong, assisted by the smiles, the giggles, the singing, the dancing of his two partners, kept the audeince in a lively good humor throughout. Kennedy and Hollis were the fa vorites on the bill, if applause and laughs had anything to do with it. Kennedy is a comedian. No one like him has ever appeared here before. It would be a waste of words to describe him: the only thing that can be said is that he was accorded four bows last nights and more at the matinee. Mile, Techow, with" an outfit of j trained cats, closed the bill. Her cats were mighty well trained and the act did not drag. Instead, the felines were so intelligent, knew their parts so (well, performed their difficult feats I with such swiftness and ease, that i everyone last night was pleasantly dis I appointed. There were two or three comedy cats in the troupe. Mile, j Techow spoke German to them. The picture that was presented is well worth seeing. "The Magic Bottle," I a high class comedy. S. J. i Orpheum Review. Happy "Doc" Holland, opens the j vaudeville at the Orpheum with a snappy black faced comedy act. "Doc' i is a sure cure for the "blues," and his i line of farce is original. Harry Wright and Ruth Holmong in Grand Next Friday. a country town skit, portraying the arrival of a city "feller" in a village in .which the usual events transpire are good. The team also does some good singing and dancing. A woman desiring to be mayor of a corrupt city, and whose candidacy and election was the cause of untold trou ble, is depicted in "The Fight," a five reel photo-play. A one reel picture of Jess Willard, the prize fighter, attracted unusual at tention Monday. When this reel was shown the crowded house applauded and went into an ecstacy of delight. Willard is shown in a boxing match and also "working out" at his training camp. The pictures are very plain. and a good idea of the world s cham pion can be obtained from witnessing them. K. H. P.

COMING WILLIAM FARNUM in "The New Governor" THE CLASSICAL "HYPOCRITES" The Censor condemned the play, "When We Were Twenty-One." We asked the au diences at the three evening shows to vote their senti ments as to whether the pic ture should or should not be condemned. Five hundred and three voted no; twenty eight voted yes. Of course the new censor scheme is a moral issue. Of course it is! But the censor grabbed $10 from the Iris. Somehow we can't reconcile our duty to contribute $10 for being met aphorically knocked down. Five hundred and three ladies and gentlemen dis agreed with Censor, twenty eight sustained him. The Iris would not book a play which was considered im moral or risque even though there were no state censors. We have placed our standard high and insisted upon hold ing the standard.

The papers all over the country, and especially in the east, are printing opinions about Billy Sunday. We now have an opinion about him. from a Topeka girl, who heard him a few days, ago in Paterson, New Jersey. Th.- young woman is living in New York, and is a student in Columbia univer sity. She writes: "I was so tired of Vitamines (newly discovered kind of germs), and pa-pert-, and sick of the sight of the chart for doughnuts that I went over to Paterson, New Jersey, this afternoon and listened to Billy Sunday hold forth. No. I didn't hit the saw-, dust trail, much as you may have ex pected me to. Sunday is the most talked of man in the east today, and I wanted to see him and try to find out what he does believe.

"The new mothers' pension law, I am convinced, not only is unconstitu tional, but it defeats its own object by limiting rather than increasing the powers of the county commissioners," was the declaration of County Auditor J. E. Larimer to the county board when he advised that body to accept no applications for aid under the law before it has consulted the county at torney for an opinion upon the act. The new law became operative April 1 by publication. Oscar Swayze, coun ty clerk, today submitted to the coun ty board an application form to be used by women desiring county aid for the support of their minor chil dren. "The new law gives the county board no authority it did not already have under old statutes," said Auditor Larimer. "It is objectionable because it is manifestly special legislation. The purpose of the act was to extend help to children who have been deprived of the support of their natural guar dians, their parents; but it specifical ly provides only for children who have lost their fathers. What about the child whose mother is dead and whose father is burdened by the expense of providing a makeshift home. It is quite possible that such a case may arise. No child is eligible to benefit under this law if it is the mother in stead of the father who is missing from the home."

Rheumatism is no respecter of age. sex, color or rank. If not the most dangerous of human afflictions it is one of the most painful. Those sub ject to rheumatism should eat less meat, dress as warmly as possible. avoid any undue exposure and, above all, drink lots of pure water. Rheumatism is caused by uric acid which is generated in the bowels and absorbed into the blood. It is the function of the kidneys to filter this acid from the blood and cast it out in tHe urine; the pores of the skin are also a means of freeing the blood of this impurity. In damp and chilly, cold weather the skin pores are closed thus forcing the kidneys to do dou ble work, they become weak and sluggish and fail to eliminate this 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 tablespoon ful in a glass of water and drink be fore breakfast each morning for a week. This is said to eliminate uric acid by sitmulating 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 thousands of folks who are subject to rheumatism. Here you have a pleas ant effervescent lithia-water drink which overcomes uric acid and is beneficial to your kidneys as well. Adv.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNALTUESDAY EVENING APBUY 13, 1915. MAY TAKE MONTH rassenger Bate Hearing Session in Topeka. in Twenty Witnesses Called Behalf of Railroads. on ON EXPENSE OF OPERATION Transportation Cost Introduced as Evidence. Thirty-Six Per Cent of Operat ing Time to Terminal. Introduction of evidence in the pas senger rate case before the public util ities commission was resumed this morning after a recess of two days. Early testimony this morning before the commission went to the distribu tion of expense of operation in an ef fort on the part of the railroads to prove that the two cent rate is not re munerative and has not stimulated traffic sufficiently to offset the loss in revenue and earnings. Thirty-six per cent of the operating time of a passenger train is charged to terminal expense under a set of scien tific figures offered before the public utilities commission today by V. n. Svmons of Chicago, a railroad con sulting engineer. Symons, called to give exoert testimony in the passen ger rate case, explained his deduc tions in detail and said that but four per cent difference existed between passenger and freight terminal charges. Cost to Stop Train. In reply to questions from members of the public utilities commission, Symons explained that Oklahoma and Missouri experiments had shown that it required four minutes to stop a freight train and eight -minutes to place the train under normal head way. The witness, however, made nr. definite statement concerning the time required to start and stop a pas senger train. Passenger fares, both local and fast train service, were reckoned on a cost basis of 70 per cent for line charges and 30 per cent for terminal charges, the witness explained. Then he divid ed local and through train charges, both freight and passenger. His tes timony was technical and based on personal deductions from railroad cost experiments in Oklahoma and Mis souri. Symons did not participate personally in the experiments. Under examination by Chairman Bristow, Symons said that it was not imorobable that experts might dis agree as to the method of distributing expense of operation, especially in the matter of percentage cost charged un der various classifications. In the course of his testimony, Symons said that t3 reduce the cost of terminal ex pense it was often necessary to in crease the running time of trains scheduled at 28 and 30 miles to 55 or 60 miles. No further testimony will be taken at this time concerning the Oklahoma formula which was discussed by wit nesses during the entire hearing last week. At the opening of the morning J session, members of the utilities com mission indicated that they would re serve a decision on the adoption of the formula until all testimony had been offered. The weight accorded the for mula by members of the commission will probably be discussed by the com mission in a portion of their decision. More than twenty witnesses are yet to be called on behalf of the railroads. A number of these witnesses will doubtless be subjected to lengthy ex aminations by members of the com mission and their attorneys. Based on the progress made last week, the re mainder of the month will be re quired to complete the taking of tes timony. Attorneys for the railroads, however, feel that they will conclude their case some time next week. For the remainder of the inquiry, but four hours each day will be devoted to the case. Morning sessions will begin at 10 o'clock and close at noon. The aft ernoon sessions will last from 2 to 4 o'clock. MAKE' CITY RAT-PROOF New Orleans Anti-Plague Campaign Is Cleaning Out All Rodents.

But London's Financial Supremacy Gradually la Slipping. London, April 13. Money remains cheap and plentiful. The government apparently intends to maintain this condition even at the risk of seeing New York scoop up, as a result of the strict regulations imposed, some of the outside financing heretofore done through London. The government control over capital issues undertaken to protect its supply of funds and to conserve the private supply against avoidable drain is far-reaching. Un der this scheme ordinary financing must pass a kind of censorship. Pri vate capital! may not be furnished for British enterprises unless it can tie shown, to the satisfaction of the treas ury that it is advisable in the national interest. In the British empire over seas the rule is somewhat more rigid. There must be special! circumstances and urgent necessity. Outside the empire there is absolute prohibition, the treasury reserving the power, however, to authorize issues of capital. There is some difference of opinion among financial men as to what the future effect of these artifi cial barriers will be upon British con trol of world financing. The opinion is expressed invariably, however, that England's supremacy as the financial center of the world, has not been shak en. It is pointed out that English shipping and trade are the -foundation, on which this supremacy rests, to which must be added the influence of fixed habit. Inasmuch as England's control of shipping is as secure as ever and her commerce and industry have not been organically injured as, yet, it is felt that the world habit of clear ing everythnig through London will persist. t .Nevertheless, the war nas compeiiea a transfer to New York of a fraction of the financial business hitherto done in London. Owing to the regulations imposed by' the government the effect of the issue of war loans on the usual issue of capital cannot be properly measured. The ease with which the last loan of a billion and three quar ters of dollars was floated gave some indication of the financial resources of this country and their ease of mobili zation. The effect on permanent interest rates, which will be exercised by the war is a subject of much conjecture, althought financial observers point out that the conflict of economic author ity makes futile any estimate. Sentiment on the stock exchange is hesitant. The preference Is for short term investments. From what can be learned by general inquiry the belief is almost universal that- should the war end within a year and to the ad vantage of Great Britain, the economic and financial damage inflicted on this country will be astonishingly small. In this connection emphasis is laid on one point. That against the gigantic bills for war expenses must be reckoned England's great surplus income from trade which continues in spite of the war though in diminished volume. w EMPLOYMENT AGENCIES.

An infortnatiou charging defendant and two others wijb murder, giving time and place and the- common recitals of a felonious charge.

Section 125 of the criminal code which provides that an accessory to a felony may be prosecuted in the county where his part of the felony was com mitted Is permissive, not mandatory, and it is proper to prosecute him in the coun ty where the principal offense was com mitted. 4. Rule followed that the determination of the trial court as to the propriety and necessity of a change of venue Is final where competent testimony supports that decision and where there is no apparent abuse of discretion. 5.

Rule followed that qualification of jurors is for the determination of the trial court. 7. Where a defendant is prosecuted for murder upon the theory that he procured another to do the deed, the sayings and doings of the other after the murder are admissable to prove the fact that such other did the killing, the establishment of that fact being a necessary prerequisite to the defendant's conviction. 8. Where two or three persons conspire to murder another and to shield and pro tect each other from discovery, prosecu tion and punishment therefor, the con spiracy Is not concluded by the homicide so as to shut out all evidence after the murder which shows the sayings and do ings of the one who did the killing, when that evidence is carefully restricted by clear and precise instructions to the Jury that such evidence is only to be considered for the purpose of determining the guilt of the 'one who actually committed the 9.

Where the defense consists of a gen eral denial and a plea that the matter was privileged, the defendant may notwith standing neither justification nor mitigat ing circumstances has been pleaded, prove the truth or may prove conduct of the plaintiff Justifying the utterance of the words. 4. Where the presence of bystanders at a conversation between husband and wife is a mere casual incident not in any sense sought for by the defendant, the latter will not be deprived of the privilege. 5. In an action for slander the defend ant pleaded a qualified privilege that the words were spoken in a conversation with her husband at a time when she under stood her husband was liable to be arrest ed for his conduct with the plaintiff and another woman where he lived, and that it would result in disgrace being brought upon their family, and that she desired to warn him In the protection of his own In terests as well as that of the family. HELD, that an Instruction charging that If a third person overheard what was said, the matter was not privileged unless such person was a mere eavesdropper, was error. All the Justices concurring.

At un time of the injury, a car was on the last mentioned track, by tne side or tne lorir, iiinwii there for renaira. The material composing the roof of any ear being re paired In tnat part, was torn on. .n dropped by the side of the car. Miller had worked at this place and under these circumstances for about two months. An other workman, under the direction of their common employer, went to the ton of this car and commenced to remove the sheet Iron and tin rrom the roor. rif oici 4-ViIki with an Imn Ar steel bar. about three or four feet long, and weighing ten to fif teen pounds.

In an action for divorce brought by the husband in the district court of Mont gomery county In February, 1910, the wife filed a cross petition asking that the di vorce be graned to her on the ground of his extreme cruelty and gross neglect of duty. There was a hearing in November. 1911. when the court took the case under advisement, but recommended that the parties try living together again as hus band and wife. In April, 1912, the wife made an application for a further hearing, alleging that the defendant continued to treat her with extreme cruelty. There was a hearing upon this application in October, 1912, and at the same term In November, 1912. a final Judgement was rendered re fusing a divorce to either party, but awarding the custody of the children to the wife and providing for alimony and a division of the property. On the 14th day of March. 1913, the wife, having removed to Chautauqua county, brought an action for divorce In the district court there, and alleged extreme cruelty and gross neglect of duty the defendant filed a plea of res Judicata alleging that the matters had been adjudicated in the former action. HELD, that a Judgment in the wife's favor based upon evidence of acts ocurrlng subse quent to the filing of the pleadings In the former action will be sustained. 2. In determining whether a divorce should or should not be granted in such a case the court may properly take into con sideration facts snowing tne rutiure or tne parties to live happily together prior to and during he pendency of the former ac tion. 3.

12 THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL TUESDAY EVENING, APRIL 13, 1915. A Lesson from the Past Years ago, before baking pow ders were so well known, the housewife sometimes made her own from cream of tartar and soda. These materials were then comparatively expensive and pro cesses of refining had not been devised to bring them to the high state of purity of the present day well known cream of tartar baking powders such as Royal and yet she never thought of buying alum then as now a cheap and inferior substitute for cream of tartar. She wouldn!t think of permitting an ounce of alum to enter her kitchen. Yet housekeepers are to-day asked to buy alum baking powders with which to make food for their children. The statement on the label af fixed to every can naming the ingredients. of which the baking powder is composed affords a method of protection against the use of undesirable kinds. ROYAL BAKING POWDER CO. New York NEARLY HIT HIM. Frank Lindsey Threatened to Whip Lawyer In LeaTenworth. Leavenworth, Kan., April 13. "If you repeat that lie I"ll hit you." Such was the remark of Assistant Attorney General Frank P. Lindsey to D. W. Flynn, a brother attorney, as they reached the climax of an ar gument touching each other's veracity in the district court Saturday after noon. "Come on." Mr. Flynn retorted as both attorneys started to roll up their coat sleeves preparatory to a fight. "Sheriff! Sheriff! keep the peace here," commanded the court as Mr. Courtney stepped up and took hold of one of the belligerents and quiet ly escorted him to the sheriff's office. A little talk soon calmed both of the lawyers so that they were ready to apologize for their strong talk. The argument was brought about in the case of a Leavenworth boot legger who had failed to put up the bond agreed upon when he was sen tenced some time ago. The Leaven worth attorney insisted that that Judge Lindsey had agreed to drop the case on the payment of the costs. Lindsey denied this statement and the near-conflict came as a result of Flynn's attempt to prove his point. EXHIBITION'S AT NORTON. 17. C. T. Commercial Fair and Thresh ermen's Convention Closed. Norton, Kan., April 13. The com mercial fair which was conducted at Norton last week by the U. C. T. of that town, and the Northwest Thresh ermen's convention also at Norton, closed Saturday. The attendance at the fair averaged about 800 a day. Hereafter the traveling men of Nor ton will hold a similar exposition every year. There are about 30 U. C. T. members here. The feature of the fair was a prize contest In which Miss Luella Steele of Norton, won a ticket to the Pan-Pacl-fic exposition and $25 in cash. There were 18 exhibitors of farm machinery and tractors at the Thresh ermen's convention. The weather in terfered with the field demonstra tions, but the exhibition was well at tended and many sales were reported. The Threshermen selected Norton as a permanent location for their annual meeting CAPPER AT CAYVKER CITY. Governor Will Speak at Annual Cele bration in Mitchell County. Caiwker City, April 13. Governor Capper will attend the annual cele bration here. May 20. and make an address. Last year Senator Curtis was the principal speaker. This is one of the most entertaining of celebrations, as the real development and settle ment of the Solomon valley is shown in the floats and the parade. The peo ple of Cawker City hope to have enough on the program to please the visitors as they did In their 1914 celebration. NEW FTJMP STATION AT PEN. State Architect Drawg Plans Prison ers Will Do the Work. Leavenworth, April 13. Charles H. Chandler, state architect, returned to Topeka last night after spending two days at the state penitentiary where he drew plans for a new pump station near the river and completed plans for the new brick plant. April 23 Warden Botkin will go to Topeka where he will meet with Mr. Chandler and the members of the board of corrections when the contracts will be let for ma terials and equipment. A special appropriation of $8,000 was made for the construction of ihe pump station. This also includes a generator to furnish "juice." The gen erator will be installed at the power plant. The appropriation is sufficient ly large enough so that new iron mains can be laid from the river to the reservoir. The old pipes are about ready to fall to pieces, according to Warden Botkin. The labor will be performed by prisoners under the direction of Mr. Chandler and Dave Temple, chief en gineer. It is hoped to start the con struction work within a few weeks. WASHBURN PLAY IN HIAWATHA. College Dramatic Club May Present Show They Gave in Topeka. Hiawatha. Kan., April 13.

T0 nrwvPiiri fin Use For Over 30 Years tmi ecirrauw emnn, new raw citt. Because she was refused the picture of her baby sister and was too lone some, a 14 year old Topeka girl whose name is withheld by the police, ran away from the place where she was employed as a servant, Saturday eve ning and sought Mrs. Thorpe, police matron, a few hours after she had left her employer's house. In the matron's room Alice the name Alice is used because It is not her real name told Mrs. Thorpe, police matron, a remarkable story of being enticed to Kansas City and imprisoned in an immoral house. "The story she told certainly had the ring of truth," said Miss Corning. "She told us she had quit school dur ing the holidays and had gone to Kan sas City In response to an advertise ment, and there had worked five weeks in a disreputable house. At least from what she told us, we con cluded such was the case. She claimed she did not know the name of the woman she worked for but that every one called her 'Madame.' She said that 'Madame' had driven her away from the house for breaking some hand-painted china, and that she had been forced out on the street with nothing but the clothes she wore, and that she had returned to Topeka. and having no' place to go sought shelter at the police station." Father Found Her. The story she told aroused the In dignation of all who heard it. The women decided to place her In the de tention home for the night, but on the way down stairs from the police matron s room a wild-eyed, excited and grief-stricken man was encount ered. He had gone to the police sta tion to ask aid in finding his daugh ter, who had been gone, not five weeks, or five months, but just about five hours from the home in which she had been employed. Upon seeing her rather, the girl ad mitted that her story was "made out of whole cloth." "I was just homesick," was her only explanation. Three or four years ago a woman with a good husband and four chil dren deserted her home. The hus band found it impossible to hold the remnant of his family together. The youngest was 2 years old. Alice, the oldest, was only 11. Bhe tried to keep house fc her father and to be a moth er to the little sisters. The task was too great for her. The younger chil dren were placed in an orphan asylum and from there adopted into different families. The little foster-mother was heart-broken. Even a picture of her little sisters was denied her, for fam ilies who adopt babies wish their rela tives to lose trace of them. Alice's father found a place for her to work in one of the good homes of Topeka. She had been there some time and every Sunday her father visited her. But she was, nevertheless, a lonesome little girl in a strange home, and seeing only the faces of strangers. "I was Just too lonesome to stay. If I had had only a picture of sister It would have been different. I can't ever see sister again, because I do not know where she is and they will not tell me, but think I might have a pic ture. I just had to do something, so I ran away." The father says that if his daughter does not care to return to the home she left, he will rent rooms and have her keep house for him. WILL RAISE $200,000.
