Washburn college and the Army of the Blue must find $70,000 before Wednesday night if the campaign for $00,000 of the half million dollar en dowment fund is to be a. success. There are still at least 10,000 or 15. 000 persons in Topeka who are eli gible to do so who have not contrib uted to the fund. It is expected that as much territory will be covered in a single day Wed nesday Washburn Day as has been covered on the last week. The 2 9 Washburn college teams will make a house-to-house canvass in the city. There are a score or more persons in Topeka who could easily afford to contribute anywhere from one to twenty-five thousand dollars to the fund, who have given nothing thus far. and an effort will be made to pro cure several large contributions. The women of Division "D," under Mrs. A. Marburg, held a meeting im mediately following the noon hour rally today. There was more or less of mystery about the meeting. The men believed that the women had some thing up their sleeves. It leaked out that they were figuring on getting 2 50 persons to agree to give J 100 each. The ten ms reported $7,397 today, making 'Jie total, for the campaign f 1 i v. Start on $100 Kacli. I Prof. K. D. Schonberger said at the meeting Monday noon that he would be one of 250 men to give or procure $100 each. At the time this challenge was not taken up with any degree of enthusiasm. Today W. W. Webb arose and said he would be one to get or gave $250. Fred Voiland Immediately agreed to stand good for the same amount. In this manner $3,000 was pledged. Those agreeing to bring in subscriptions by Wednesday night were: Dr. K. J. Ernest, $100; Dean W. H. Arthur, $100; Mrs. J. E. Kirk patrick and three ladies, $400;. Mrs. Hand, $225; Mrs. D. L.

Kven the opening Western Ieagiie ball game for Topeka to day did not so divert the attention of the friends of Washburn college as to prevent them from sounding the praises of the institution. Some of the remarks: James Perry, captain of the high sachool team, which got into action Monday and which has made a great record: The Topeka high school is behind Washburn college. Kvery student who has subscribed to the fund wears a blue ribbon. Before the close of the campaign we expect the entire student body to be wearing the blue. J. C. Wolcott: Students who attend Washburn are given an op portunity to work their way through college. I did this, and several hundred students do it every ear. These students would have no cliance to obtain a higher education were it not for the chance they have to work. William A. Benson: The half million dollar endowment will be a great thing for Topeka, Every body ought to give. It is perma nent investment building for the future. Robert Stone: I wish some one in ToH'ka would say, "I'll give the last $25,000." O. R. Harries: The Auditorium sliould 1' packed Wednesday night for the final rally of the campaign. Washburn must win, and the more enthusiasm that is shown up to the last minute the better will be her chances. Wednesday some strenu ous efforts must be put in by the Army of the Blue. lr. It. B.

Boise, Idaho, April 2 7. United States Senator Borah, who returned to Boise Saturday, expects it will take all the votes that the Republican party can muster to defeat President Wilson in 1916. He also predicts that there will be no third or Progressive party. "I am not a candidate," declared the senator, "never have been a can didate and do not expect to be a Re publican candidate for the presidency. "My opinion is that the campaign will be fought out between the two old j parties. I do not look for a third par ty in the field that is, a third party to be known as the Progressive party. My great hope is that the Republican party will adopt a liberal platform and such platform will unite all fac tions. "I do not mind saying that I anw r wi rems to t,. th dis position or a rew to swing DarK. i n ultra reactionary platform.. I believe we will elect the next president. Nev ertheless, President Wilson will be a foeman worthy of our steel. He is much stronger in the country than his party, and those who try to delude themselves that he is not, or that his defeat will be easily accomplished, are in error. "It seems to me business matters as a whole look better in the east than they have for the last two years. I believe they are going to continue to get better." ASK SAUM PARDON Father of Daughter's Child in an Appeal to Capper. Pleaded Guilty for Clemency, Captain Waters Says. Application for a pardon or parole for Charles Saum of Shawnee county was made today to Governor Capper. Saum was sent to the penitentiary a year ago when he pleaded guilty in the district court to a charge of as sault upon his own daughter. The application before the governor today was urged by Captain J. G. Wa ters, attorney for Saum. In his state ment. Captain Waters told Governor Capper that Saum had rdeaded guilty at his personal suggestion, believing that such action would aid in securing early executive clemency. No action was taken by the governor. The case will be taken up with W. E. Atchison, county attorney, who issued the com plaint. Saum has been in state prison less than a year for his alleged crime against his daughter. POWER TO COURTS. Bill In Big Milk Bankruptcy Filed in V. S. Court. To give Kansas courts jurisdiction over properties of the corporation in this state, ancillary bill in the matter of the Valecia Condensed Milk com pany bankruptcy was filed this after noon with Mort Albaugh, clerk of Ihe United States district court. The com pany is a Wisconsin corporation and was adjudged bankrupt by Wisconsin courts and Paul S. Warner appointed receiver March 27. The Valecia corporation is one of the largest of its kind in the country. The bill states that it owns properties it Hutchinson, Salina and Halstead. Kan., but does not describe or name them. KILL ANTI-TIP BILL. Wisconsin Governor Holds Law to Be Vnoonstitutional. Madison, Wis., April 27. Governor Philipp last night vetoed the Boss Hard anti-tipping bill because it "de prived the public of an opportunity to receive and pay for service promotive of its comfort and convenience, im posed a radical restraint on the free dom of action of the citizens. 2id not tend to prevent discrimination, would probably be impracticable or enforce ment and it it became a law, wouia be unconstitutional." considered one of the most beautiful s laid out with landscape care, the the buildings are covered with ivy. e value of the property on College t Topeka.

Fifty per cent more delegates than expected will attend the state Sunday school convention which is to be held May 4, 5. 6. The first estimate was given at about 6,000 persons, but now not less than 9,000 persons will be in Topeka the three days in May. Mitchell county alone has engaged one hotel in the city, the Fifth Ave nue, to accommodate her 100 dele gates. George E. Dougherty is the busiest man in Topeka, trying to find rooms for the coming guests. It is absolutely necessary that Jhe people of Topeka open their homes to the visiting delegates. This conven tion is one of the largest ever held in the history of the city. In the State Journal there isa blank coupon for the purpose of i. listing rooms obtainable for the delegates. T'.vou have a room, fill out the blank and either hand or mail It to George E. Dougherty, who haa charge of lo cating the delegates. A nominal sum of fifty cents ean be charged the delegates for rooms and twenty-five cents for breakfast. END IN HUNG JURY Talesmen Could Not Agree on Dr. O. O. Moore Case. Twenty-Four Hours of Consul tation to No Avail. A hung jury resulted in the trial of the assault charge against Dr. O. O. Moore, a local physician, brought on complaint of Mrs. T. D. Broughton of this city, the final report of disagree ment being made to the court this noon after consultation during 2 4 hours. The Moore case was put in the hands of the jury Monday at noon. Its trial was begun before Judge A. W. Dana in the first division of the Shawnee county district court last Friday. H. G. BEEDE IS DEAD. Attempted Suicidfe Became Successful to Topekan. As the result of a bullet wound in his head. H. G. Beede, 1322 Kansas avenue, who attempted to commit sui cide Monday morning, died this morn ing at the Stormont hospital. Beede's attempt to take his own life was caused by despondency over ill health, it is said. He was a resident of this city for the last thirty years and until a few years ago was engaged in the commis sion business. He was 64 years of ace and well known in Topeka and Shaw nee county. Weather Forecast for Kansas. Fair tonight and Wednesday, not much change in temperature. BASEBALL IX FRANCE. Northern France, April 27. It's baseball time in France. Spring is here; the mud has gone; when a soldier isn't fighting he must be playing, and the only game a Ca nadian knows is baseball. France is beholding baseball for the first time. England is playing it! The Canadians are the mission aries, of baseball, behind the allies' lines, and they get so much out of it that the French and the English are beginning to believe that it is really a good game, after all. The English cricket players, in a dozen places behind the English lines, have thrown away their cricket paddles and are taking up tne baseball bat, with the Cana dians. Morning, noon and night, there are baseball games going on behind the lines, wherever a few Cana dians are gathered together. Some times the game is one-old-cat; sometimes it's only knocking- up flies. But, at certain times, there have been inter-company baseball games, with hundreds of dollars' of good Canadian money staked on the result and with English and French officers betting enthusias tically as anybody else. WITH HO SIGH CP FATIGUE The Colonel at Times Evinces Slight Irritation. New Witness for Defense Ap pears at the Trial. Syracuse, April 27. The lid was tilted again today in the political Pan dora's box of the Barnes-Roosevelt libel trial. Popping out were two score more letters exchanged between former Senator Piatt, the "easy boss," and Theodore Roosevelt. Continuation of the correspondence expose to show that Roosevelt was a party to "boss rule and invisible gov ernment," was the Barnes program today. The colonel took the witness stand for the seventh consecutive day to identify the Piatt letters. It was believed Roosevelt would monopolize the testimony and not be able to con clude before tomorrow. While proceeding under the new line of attack by a new quizzer for Barnes, William L. Barnum of this city, who held the colonel strictly to categorical answers, Roosevelt and counsel professed today to be little perturbed over the revelations of his relations with Piatt. Roosevelt's side said today that Roosevelt's explanations on cross-examination and the letters introduced were being held within limits favor able only to Barnes. But the Roose velt side on redirect examination of the colonel proposes to produce letters not offered by Barnes. The Colonel's Plan. They plan to produce all the Piatt correspondence to show that the col onel worked with Piatt and the ma chine whenever possible, but bucked over the traces and ignored the organ ization when its desires conflicted with what the governor believed to be the public interest. The letters from Piatt's file pro duced today covered political events from the spring of 1900to 1905 and Continued on Page Kight-J ypresjnTfTames The Germans Tkruw Alncendiary Bombs Into the Town. Fighting Continues Hotly AH Along the Front .London. April 27. "Ypres is in flames, the Germans having thrown a hail of incendiary bombs into the town." Thus telegraphs the Morning Post's correspondent in northern France. "The fighting continues hotly all along this front," the correspondent adds. "The Germans show extraordinary daring in bringing heavy artillery close to their front line, the guns used being mostly 13 inch Austrian how itzers on movable carriages. "The Germans also are using ef fectively armored trains carrying 4.7 guns. For the use of these armored trains the Germans have consolidated and strengthened the system of light railways uniting a number of small towns in the neighborhood of Tpres to which they have added strategical branch lines." HE ESCAPED JAIL. Hilltop Postomce Alleged Robber Climbs Down Smokestack. Word was received in Topeka late this afternoon by federal authorities that H. E. Estes, alleged to be re sponsible for many postoflice robberies in different parts of the country, has escaped from the Kansas City jail, where he was being held on indictment for robbing th postoflice at Hilltop, Kan. Advice received by federal officials is to the effect that Estes' dash for liberty was a spectacular one. He crawled through the smokestack on the jail and slid down the outside with the aid of a blanket. Estes has indictments Against him In several states. His trial for the Hilltop postoflice robbery was sched uled to come up at Fort Scott next WEATHER IS IDEAL. Sky Is Clear at Seventeen of Eighteen Stations. The weather was ideal in Kansas today the temperature was normal for early June. The sky was clear at seventeen out of eighteen government j stations reporting at 7 oclock this j morning. The forecast calls for a continuance of the sunshine and abnormally warm weather. j The lowest temperature this morn ing was 57 degrees at 5:30 o'clock.

With a lot of real pep, the baseball season of 1915 was ushered in To peka today by-the game between To peka and Denver. The spirit of the great national game appeared to be with everyone. With the prospects of a first division team, with a team that is topping the Western League after the first series, a great crowd Is as sembling at League park to see the Savages pounce upon the Bears from the high country. About 25 minutes before the game started the crowd filled the grand stand and bleachers and many people were unable to find seats. Many autos were in the park and about 150 stood outside, unable to gain admission to the grounds. Sixty machines were in the parade when it reached the grounds. The crowd overflowed into the field and filled the grassy plot in front of the grandstand. The governor and mayor and most of the city officials were at the park at three o'clock. The umpires for the game are Gei sel and Parent. The attendance was estimated at five thousand. The batting order was changed just before the game started, Forsythe batting fourth and Rapps in fifth place. The game was called at 3:30 sharp. Bear meat has always been "fruit" for savages. The reason of the scarcity of that game today is because of the cleverness of the Indians. And the bears of today, or a large part of them, are protected by being residents of national reservations. So what chance have the Grizzlies on a strange fContinued on Page. Two. RUSrHTlALTED 1 J German Forward Movement in Flanders Has Been Checked. Russians Begin Another Attack in Uzsok Pass Region. London, April 27. The German rush in Flanders has halted, at least, for the moment. O'fficial communica tion from German, French, British and Belgian war departments today bring out this point, although it is not clear whether the allies have accom plished anything of importance fur ther than to check the advance of their opponents. The official an nouncement from Berlin shows that the Germans are now on the defen sive along their new line north of Ypres. The statement is made that British attacks broke down "with ex traordinarily heavy losses." Both the French and British claim that part of the lost territory has been retaken. It -is said further that the French have recaptured Hartmans Weilkopf, in the mountains near the eastern end of the line which the Germans wrested from them two days ago. The Italian ambassadors at Berlin, Vienna, Paris and London have been summoned home for a conference with the Italian foreign minister. Rome interprets this move as an indication that Italy is on the eve of an impor tant decision concerning her foreign policy. Unofficial Geneva dispatches say the Russians have begun another at tack on the Austrians in the Uzsok pass region. Austrian and German casualties in the last two days are estimated at 20,000. Another English trawler has been blown up in the North sea, whether by a mine or a submarine, is un known. Seven men of the crew of nine, some of them badly wounded, were picked up. Steel Dec-lares a Dividend. New York, April 27. The United States steel corporation today de clared regular quarterly dividends of 1 per cent on the preferred stock. As in the case of the previous quarter no action was taken on the common stock dividend. The total earnings of the corporation for the first quarter of 1915 were $12,457,809; the net income for the quarter was $6,684,573; the de ficit for the quarter $5,389,861. APRIL FOOL IN WAR. British Headquarters in France, April 27. "All Fools' Day was not allowed to pass without a practical joke being played on the enemy," writes the British Eyewitness in his latest dispatch. "An aviator flying over the Lill aerodrome dropped a football. It fell slow ly through the air and the Ger mans could be seen hurrying from all directions to take cover from what they evidently thought was a bomb: that it bounded to an enor mous height from the ground without exploding was probably taken to be due to a 'delay action' fuse, for it was not till the ball finally came to rest that they emerged from their shelters to ex amine It.

Since Harvey Parsons, chief of po lice, assumed his duties at the police station with the new administration j his desk has been "flooded" with let ters from all parts of the country j relative to the large number of drunks j arrested in Topeka in the last two i years. Chief Parsons generally replies to the effect that every man who looked like he had rubbed up against a bot- i tie was pinched. Records and reports sent out during the Cofran adminis- i tration are being used in all parts of the world against prohibition. Under the famous drunk standard which be- gan to fall with the "passin' on" of the Cofran administration it is known that men were arrested whose breath betrayed the fact that he had taken a drink of intoxicating liquor. IN BAGGAGE GAR AHEAD TOO Pound Girl From Oil City Went to Join Circus. Oil City, Pa., April 27. Traffic on the New York Central line was de layed twenty minutes when Anna Chelton. Oil City's fat girl weighing more than 700 pounds, departed to loin a circus. Half a dozen men transported her j in a specially made wheel chair to the j baggage car and when a transfer was made at Andover the car was detach- ed and shifted to the rreight depot. Later the baggage car of the second train was shifted to the depot and the 700 pounds of circus girl placed in it. The train was held until the crew made the transfer. c llllll --v HE HAS VISITED INSTITUTIONS Upon Return, Confesses Many Do Xot Suit Him. Letter to State Board of Con- trol Asking Removals. Governor Capper Is after the Job" of several department iieads In tho state. The trouble is to find a safe, sane, practical and positive way of getting them. In an authorized state- ment today, the governor admitted that he haa asked for several resigna tions, but refused to discuss details. In the last two weeks. Governor Capper has visited the Atchison statu orphans' home, the Topeka state hos pital, the Emporia normal, and the state fish hatchery at Pratt. He will go to other state Institutions as soon as possible. In some of the places, the work or department heads and assist- ants does not suit him. But it is a difficult task to secure their removal. State house gossip today was to the. effect that the governor had directed a letter to the state board of control asking for several displacements In managements of state departments. Asked concerning a specific instance (Continued on Pace Two.) LAST WASHBURN APPKAL. The great ten-day Washburn Campaign was scheduled to close yesterday. It did not, and could not. Weary as were the 40O so licitors, not one was ready to quit. All felt that the cuuse at stake wax too real, too vital to halt $78,000 away from the goal. Yesterday's noon rally was a unique spectacle in Toiieka's history. Probably no city event lias ever brought to gether so diverse a body of work ers, and fused them in ten days Into so absolutely a single mind as this campaign. This arresting fact Is on exhibit: the snlier look ing into the real merits of this great cause by these 4O0 workers hits made convert of every one. They all see tho nerd, the justice of the campaign, and the absolute necessity of fighting it through. From this strenuous hour, Wash burn lias no more eager rooters than this half-thousand of fagged out, but determined solicitors. So. while the enthusiasm of yes terday was so high-pressure that it would have blown up if anybody had tried to cork it down, yet no til ing Is further from the truth than to think that all this pep and '-go" was mere froth and foam. It was a tide of tremendous earnestness and purpose on the part alike of sober business men and women, high school and college youth, and that puriKisc was to finish the job. Ho the campaign was unanimously extended to Wednesday night, to end with a great rally at the Auditorium, and these two exten sion days will be crowded with giant crfort. which ought to sweep in every lover of Topeka. Now $78,000 is a big bite for our city after $122,000 lias been taken out. Clearly, the score or more of our wealthiest men are lined up In their own minds for the still larger campaign which must follow, for the $270.0(10, to se-ure the added $100,000 from the New York board. Now it Is crfe-tly evident that a very considerable number of strict ly large gifts must come to meet these conditions. Topeka need not deeply worry about that phase of tho. campaign. But it looks just now as though these $10,000 or $15,000 gifts were not to come In today. Hut granting this, is there any necessity for this city cam paign to fail? Not at all. Every body has noted, all the way through tills campaign, that the sums daily reported have been the generosity of people of moderate means and of the fairly wealthy, but. ull. In response to actual cam paign sollHtatton. But here is an other fa-t: That solicitation lias lacked much of covering our city. There remain far more than fifteen thousand self-respecting and loyal citizens who have never been ap proached. There are still enough large-hearted people,' who. In one day (Wednesday, the Mayor's "Washburn Day") could pick up the entire deficit in relatively small sums, as volunteer su hscri bers. Let us look at this proposition for a moment. This camuilgn is not for spot cash as much a it Is for Iiermanent friends for Washburn. The pledges are convenient for lesser givers, "payable In five an nual installments." beginning Sep tember 1, 1915; the second, on the first of February, 1916, and other payments on the same date for three later years. Now, any man or woman who deeply feels what our great college is doing, and who has even a mod erate earning power, could give $5.00 per year for five years or SIO.OO for five years, and have all the more self-respect and happiness- because of that gift. This lias been pre-eminently the campaign of the small giver: shall not a watchful state see this fine spec tacle today anil tomorrow, ten thousand "unsolicited" givers volunteers, who this day will send In their pledges to the campaign treasurer, Chas. 8. Klliott, (Capital Building and Ijoan Association) of tliis city? Let every man and woman of Topeka. who as yet lias had no cliance to express loyalty to the Blue, make their chance in these closing twenty-four lionrs. by volunteering pledges or cash gifts from Sl.OO to $100 as conscience and the needs of our city demand.

THE TOPEKA PATT.Y STATE JOTTPK n TUESDAY EVENING, APRIL 27, 1915. MAY BE MURDOCK Kansan as the .-Progressive Presidential Nominee. William Allen White Speaks of 1916 Possibilities. ROOSEVELT BACK TO G. 0. P. Emporia Leader Believes Teddy Is Feeling Way Back. Suffrage and Prohibition the Steady Planks. Are Progressives In the nation will be In the presidential fight next year with either Victor Murdock of Kansas or Hiram Johnson of California as their presidential nominee. Nation-wide suffrage and prohibition will be the dominant planks in the third party nlatform. Such Is the belief of Wil liam Allen White of Emporia, national committeeman for the Progressive party. In his office In Emporia this week, White leaned back In a big leather chair and for thirty minutes talked over "the situation and made fore casts on the future. Not once has White come to Topeka since the No vember election. He declares he Is not coming. ret he is keeping a weather eye on developments and work of the state administration. "Why should I come to Topeka?" 'asked White in response to inquiry concerning his absence from the state capital. "I am not concerned with affairs up there. I am not so much as a stockholder in the concern and well, I really don't Intend to get my hair cut, or go to Topeka or do sev eral other things until Roosevelt or Murdock or some other Progressive is elected president." He Is Having Fun. Then White laughed. "Honestly," he said, "I never had so much fun In my life. I can just cut loose and write anything I like and it goes. This is the most fun I have had In years no record to ex plain, no constituents to console just the story of things as they really are." "But what are the party plans for next year and what Is the situation In the state and nation as you see it?" asked the Emporia editor's visitor. "Just now it's a race against time and prosperity. If prosperity gets hero before November next year the Dem ocrats will win," said the Emporian. ,"If November gets here ahead of pros perity good night to the Democrats." Again vv hite hastened to assure tne visitor that he felt no concern as to immediate conditions or those that threaten for the future. Their Planks. "The Progressive party will prob ably go into the national campaign with national suffrage and prohibition as their dominant planks," continued the pudgy publisher. "We can prob ably poll two million votes on that is sue. But our fight will be chiefly a national fight. "Probably Hiram Johnson of Cali fornia or Victor Murdock of Kansas will head the national ticket. Each is the embodiment of everything the Progressive party stands for in the na tion." "But what about Roosevelt?" cut in the visitor. "Roosevelt's affairs are being shap ed in the Barnes case," said White. "If Roosevelt should come out of that licht unusually well, it would help him. But we have known for some time and Roosevelt has known best of all that he was slowly feeling his way back to the Republican party. This case might help him and it might change his entire course." White's visitor asked about condi tions in the state. Immediately the information came back that the Pro gressives are quite well pleased up to this time with the Capper admin istration. "In states where the standpatters are in control, we will make a fight," White said. "In Kansas, though, we are fairly well pleased with the work of Governor Capper. Under certain circumstances, it isn't impossible for the Progressives, to be for him. In fact, if he were running on an inde pendent ticket, he would probably get more Progressive votes than he would standpat Republican votes." CAPPER ASKS FOR "RESIGNATIONS" (Continued from Page One.l where it was claimed thrtt a removal was sought, the governor replied: "I don't think I have anything to say concerning any information from the board of control." That was all. The governor is pleased with the work of Dr. Butcher, president of the Emporia state normal and says so. Of course, it just happens that Dr. Butch er is a Republican and was named by a Democratic board: but in other oases Governor Capper has said that he will retain department heads who have made efficient records even though they may have been appointed by Democrats. His Statement. "That is my attitude toward all ap pointees who are doing good work in the institutions," said the governor who authorized the following state ment: "I don't care what a man's politics may be, nor who appointed him. If he is giving the state first class serv ice, he should not be removed merely because of a political change in ad ministration. As a matter of fact, however, my visits to these institutions are more or less perfunctory. I can not make changes in the officials or employees of the institutions even when it is desirable and necessary. All of the charitable and educational institutions are under the control of boards appointed by my predecessor. My appointees on these boards are merely minority members and all su perintendents and employees are ap pointed by the boards and not by the governor. "I cannot change the personnel of these boards except for plain violation of law. The people hold me respon sible for the institution, but I am seriously handicapped. It Is the first time in the history of Kansas that a governor has been obliged to work with boards not of his own making and not in sympathy with his policies. I would very much like to make sev eral changes in the institutions in the interest of efficiency and economy. I know there are places where the serv ice could be improved. "There are employees in those insti tutions, put there solely for political reasons, who are not fit to be in the public service and' who are not earn- ing their money. A few can" be dis pensed with entirely, and others should be supplanted with competent men and women. But the boards ap pointed by Governor Hodges and con firmed by a Democratic senate stand in my way so-far. as any move in that direction is concerned. For the best interests of the state, I have asked for resignations, but they seem deter mined to hold on to their jobs. "The same influence which attempt ed to block my program of economy in the legislative appropriations is od structing my efforts to put these in stitutions on a strictly business basis. That seems to be a part of the game of politics. I would like to see the business of the state managed by the same correct principles of economy and efficiency that are employed in the management of all successful busi ness institutions. But I confess 1 am discouraged at the prospect, and I see little hope of any marked improve ment as long as these boards remain as they now are. Unrortunateiy lor my program for putting state govern ment on a basis of dollar-for-dollar service and efficiency, a majority of the members of the state board of con trol and state board of administra tion hold commissions from Governor Hodges and confirmations by the sen ate which carry them through my en tire term." TOPEKA SEES HER FIRST 1915 GAME CContlnued from page One.l soil, against the Topeka Savages.' Tattle. Governor Capper and Mayor House led the parade this afternoon. It was one of the biggest baseball parades in the history of Topeka. Some of the old timers sav that the Savages will resemble the old Golden Giants of To peka when the season closes and if the opening eninusiasm nas aiiyiuniB i with It, they may prove a surprise to the Bears. Long Parade. The string of automobiles for the parade was several blocks long. The game started at k:id ocioca. Neither the mayor nor the governor went through the time honored stunt of handling the first ball. The opening game was not wit nessed bv ToDekans alone. The towns and cities in this section of Kansas also were well represented in the grand stand and bleachers this afternoon. The batteries announced: Topeka, Grover and Monroe; Denver, Gaskell and Spahr. That there will be a nuge crowa is ndicated by the action taken by To peka merchants and the railway shops and offices. Hundreds of clerks and stenographers will be able to attend. The Santa Fe has announced that any employee can go to the opening game f he wants to. So when the umpire pays flay ball" this afternoon, several thousand fans will watch the throwing of the first ball, the one that will start a suc cessful season for the capital city. The entire body of Washburn stu dents attended the game. The stu dents marched to the grounds and added enthusiasm to the game and to the endowment fund campaign. The Washburn people were led by the Washburn band. The Denver club arrived in town this morning at 4 o'clock and re mained in the sleeping car until 7. At 11 the team went to the ball park and dressed for .the parade. Coffey Is Optimistic. Manager Jack Coffey stated that things are looking pretty good and that he feels sure Denver will be In the running when "the pennant race is warmest. The Denver club is com posed of a clean looking bunch of players and Coffey says the team is much better than it was last year. "There is more baseball enthusiasm in Topeka than I ever saw before," was one of the statements the Mile High manager made this morning. Neither Coffey, nor Manager Jackson would predict the outcome of today's game. Proxy Is Here. Norris L. O'Neill, president of the Western League, arrived in the city this morning from St. Joseph and SDent the morning with Owner Sav age, talking over league matters and visiting the park. President o isem was an unexpected but very welcome feature of the big parade and there was much rivalry among the auto owners for the privilege of having him ride in their cars. Mr. O'Neill will leave tonight for Chicago. He is quoted as saying that he expects a successful year in the Western League this season and as expecting a very close race for the pennant.

A powerful clocks work bomb was found hidden yester day in the ministry of war at Constan tinople, according to a ciispatcn from Saloniki. It was timed to explode at an hour when the council would be in session. The meetings of this body are attended by Enver Pasha, min ister of war, Field Marshal von Der Goltz and General Liman von Sanders. An investigation is said to have disclosed that the bomb was placed in the room by a sweep who had come to clean the chimney and who then disappeared. Several minor officials connected with the ministry of war have been arrested on suspicion of be ing his accomplices. The police be lieve the plot was directed against the young Turks and the Germans. Mem bers of the committee of Union and Progress are said to have decided at a meeting to which no Germans were admitted to adhere to a "waiting policy," but to favor the conclusion of separate peace with the allies if Germany failed to provide assistance sufficient to repulse an attack on the Dardanelles. TO BE OVER S80, 00 0,000 Officials Look for Big Returns From the Income Tax, Washington, April 27. Administra tion officials were optimistic today over prospects that the income tax this year will yield an amount consid erably in excess of the original esti mate of $80,000,000. This optimism was based upon full preliminary esti mates to the treasury department from internal revenue collectors throughout the country, which placed the sum to be collected from the in dividual and corporation tax at $80,035,000. Officials are confident that the re turns will exceed that sum by several millions. This is highly gratifying to them because it had been predicted that the European war and the tariff would operate to prevent a large re turn. SHE PULLS THE STRING Young Woman VnwitUngly Causes Death of Her Fiance. New York, April 27. Arthur Hearn Cowl, the youth who accomplished his own death by a singular expedient at Stratford, Conn., last night, was a son of Clarkson Cowl, president of the Central Mercantile association of this city. The youth was a grandson of the late George A. Hearn of the retail dry goods firm of James A. Hearn Son, who died in 1.913, leav ing an estate valued at $10,000,000 to $15,000,000. Under the will of his grandfather he inherited a substantial interest in that firm. Calling at the home. of his fiancee. Miss Emily Wheeler, daughter of Arthur De Forest Wheeler, a banker, the young man directed the girl te pull the end of a ribbon attached to a revolver which he had concealed. When she did so the revolver was dis- charged, inflicting a wound on Cowl's head from which he died in a Bridge port hospital early today. It was re ported here that Miss Wheeler had broken their engagement. Cowl, who was 2 2 years old, lived with his father in this city in the win ter and at Great Neck, Long Island, in the summer. He owned a fast "pow er yacht on' which he frequently crossed the Sound to the home of his fiancee. Several months ago he suf fered a nervous breakdown and was sent to Bermuda, whence he returned a week ago. F. AMaCOSTLY Cattle Disease Expenses Will Total $60,000 in Kansas. Expect More Trouble When Farms Are Re-Stocked. Manhattan, Kan., April 27. "The foot and mouth disease situation in Kansas is encouraging. The hot Kan sas sun, thorough disinfection, and rigid inspection and quarantine" will eventually win in Kansas. We can safely predict a clean slate and re turn to normal conditions by January 1, 1916." .These were the statements of Dr. F. S. Schoenleber. professor of veteri nary medicine in the Kansas btate Agricultural college, before the cat tlemen's meeting last week. Kansas has had six outbreaks of the foot and mouth disease. It was neces sary to kill 1,217 cattle, valued at $72, 588.78: 313 hogs, valued at $3,463.20. Of this amount the owners were reim bursed in full by the state and na tional governments. Besides the value of the animals for which Kansas has paid, amounting to $38,025.99, the cost of disinfecting the premises and the necessary veterinary inspection will make the total cost of the foot and mouth disease to Kansas $50,000 or $60,000. When the infected farms are re stocked with cattle and hogs, we may probably expect a little more trouble. said Doctor Schoenleber, "since stock cars and yards may harbor infection for some time to come. It will be necessary to maintain rigid veterinary inspection upon farms located in the infected district." The foot and mouth disease epi demic extended from Massachusetts to Washington and from Wisconsin to Kentucky, eald Doctor Schoenleber. Twenty-one states have suffered. Illi nois suffered the worst damage, fol lowed by Pennsylvania and Ohio. In Illinois it was necessary to slaughter 58,727 animals. In all the states affected by the foot and mouth disease, continued .Doctor BcnoenieDer, it was necessary to kill a total of 146,138 animals. Of this number, 68,776 were cattle. 28. 275 were hogs, 8,991 were sheep, and were goats. PEACE ORATORICAL. History of Association Holding Con- test in Topeka Friday. The intercollegiate peace associa tion was organized in the autumn of iu4 among seven or eight colleges in the east but since that time it has spread over the entire United States. The plan followed is to promote the peace propaganda through the me dium of oratorical contests among the various colleges.' The country is or ganized into districts and each college sends a contestant and the winner of the district contest goes to the na tional. The fundamental purpose of the as sociation is to teach the young men of the colleges that it is just as es sential to follow the golden rule among the nations in their interna tional dealings as it is among their fellow men. Other peace societies are laboring to create sentiment today in favor of international peace, by means of the arbitration of international dif ferences. The district contest will be held in Topeka at the high school auditorium Friday night of this week and there will be six states represented Iowa. Kansas, Nebraska. Missouri. South Dakota and Colorado. The repre sentatives for Kansas is a Washburn man, Roy Painter of Norton and a unior in Washburn law school. Manv of the schools and other organizations in tne city are planning to attend in numbers and an exciting contest is ex pected. THE WEATHER RECORD.

Kansas City Stock Yards, Arll 26. The extraordinary advance on stockers and feeders last week neia gooa tonay. in spite of predictions that a break might be ex pected due to large receipts and a balk on the part of count-y buyers on paying the high nrices. Total rattle receipts were 11 000 head today, consisting of a large proportion of thin grades, with a good many light killing steers, and few heavy weights. This distribution was in line with market requirements, the heavy steers sell ing slowly at barely steady prices, while light steers sold readily at stronger prices in some cases. Butcher grades were firm, and stockers and feeders went through the session kicking up their heels. Choice na tive yearlings sold at $8.60 today, as baby beef, but there were not prime heavy steers here. Some big natives sold last week at $8.35. Choice heavy cows bring around $7. sometimes $7.50, and odd heifers up to $8 50. Colorado sugar mill offerings in cluded some well finished steers at $8.00, weighing 1150 lbs., top price for this class this year. Heavier steers sold at $7.75 to $7 95, in some cases steady with a week ago, others 10c to 15c higher. Oklahoma and Panhandle killers sold at $7.46 to $7.80, 10 to 15 cents above a week ago. Some Texas feeders brought $7.60, as compared with a bid of $7 for them in Ft. Worth on the way. and some choice White Face heifer calves, 604 lbs. av.. sold to go to the country at $7.75 to $7.90; also bid a much lower price at Ft. Worth. A big drove of heifers from Texhoma sold to killers at $8.25. 639 lbs. average. Quaran tine receipts consisted of 8 cars of steers from San Anglo. 1007 lbs. average, at $7.35, a strong price. The general cattle market is advancing regularly, and is lined op about like it was week ago, light steers selling best to killers, heavy steers slow, stockers and feeders booming. Hogs sold Irregularly today, several ES 5-2 $3.75 us loads light hogs selling early at $7.55, only 5 cents under Chicago top, and 10 cents above both St. Joseph and Omaha. Later the market eased off, closing 5 to 10 cents lower, bulk of sales $7.30 to $7.45. A big packer's drove cost $7.38 here today, and his drove in Chicago today cost $7.40. Re ceipts here were estimated at 9,000 bead early, but 10,000 came in, counting two small trains of hogs from Sioux Cilty and Omaha, bought by Kansas City packers on those markets for slaughter here Sheep and lambs made new records to day, lambs bringing $10.85, highest price ever paid here. The market closed strong, and elven dollar lambs are expected this week, probably tomorrow.- Receipts were 8.000, Including about a thousand Texas goats, which sold higher, killing goats, at $5.25 to $5.50. There was a strong demand for brushers, but none were offered they are worth around $4.50. Advices from Texas shipping points received here today, say the main movement will not start be fore May 15.

I'm a baseball fan, bound for League Park To see the Grizzles play With the Savages, that's goln' some And I am feeling gay. The umpire calls the game on time. "Play Ball," "and don't delay." Our pitcher fanned the first three out. And the band began to play. Our boys, they now are at the bat;, Their pitcher, he did swear. For the first four caused a walk to first But the next one scorched the air. It went away out in the garden Over that fielder's wing. It brought, in one, and oh what fun When the fans began to sing. 3 The Grizzlies they were rattled now, Had surely lost their heads. For the next one knocked a "homer. And the fans did yell, "He's Dead." We won the game so easily That when the ninth was out We all got up and clapped our hands And we began to shout. WHAT. I'm a baseball fan and I'm "Dinglee!" When our favor'te swats the pill. Then drives it beyond that center field And makes that three base hill. Hear the grandstand YELL and the BLEACHERS tell. That pitcher in the box, "You glass arm Cad, we know you're mad." Yon ought to be pounding "BOX." By Col. R. W. Mitchell, A. M balls Nelson, 2; H. Cochran, 1. Passed balls Rapps, 2; Griffith, 1. Umpire Myers. Time 1 :55. Notes On the Game. Roche looks like a find at short. He handles his position in great style, has lots of pep, is fast and is a player who should get his chance m faster com pany. In the three games he collected four hits out of ten times up for a .400 average. He handled 19 chances at short and made but one error and that was on a throw from deep short that he had to hurry. He stole three bases. The Savages are sure to have an aggressive team. Manager Jackson keeps busy chasing in from the out field protesting decisions and he dis plays a lot of pep from the coaching line. Jackson hit at a .333 clip dur ing the series. The game was shy of sensational features Monday but it was well play ed by both teams. The errors did not hurt as the Wolves won from an earn ed run standpoint. From all Indica tions both teams will cause plenty of trouble for the opposition before the season is over. Omaha 9; St. Joe 7. St. Joseph. Mo., April 27.

Newark, April 27.- A legal contest bv the owner of the wmard-jonnson fight films to' bring the films into this country will begin nere next r riaay, according to an announcement by Charles A-, Towne, formerly United States senator, counsel for L. Law rence Weber, the owner. The first step preliminary to the beginning of the legal battle was taken here Monday when Mr. Towne made a formal demand upon the col lector of the port that the pictures be admitted. Refusal was given on the ground that the federal statutes for bade it. Mr. Towne then served no tice that he would apply to Judge Thomas G. Haight, in the United States district court on Friday, for an injunction restraining the collector from refusing to admit the pictures. It is expected that argument will be heard about a week later and that the applicants will contend that the law barring the pictures is unconstitu tional. Mr. Towne said that his application for an injunction would set forth that the owner desires to bring the pictures into this country not for sale, but for exhibition by himself. He said it would be admitted that they were films of a prize fight, not of a box ing bout. APPRENTICES WIN GAME. Defeat Fort Madison Team 4 to 3 in Ten Innings. The Santa Fe Apprentice baseball team returned from Fort Madison Monday, where they played the Ap prentice team of that city, winning by the score of 4 to 3 in a ten inning game.

Fans who are wondering why Hughey Jennings's Detroit team is leading the American league can cease their wonder. The answer lies in the fact that the great out field of the Tigers is hitting at a clip unprecedented in the annals of the game. According to Mr. Al Munro, the demon statistician, Cobb. Crawford and Veach are all batting well over .400. They hit in that order, too, and the carnage of opposing twirl ers has been a thing of horror. The only "Ty" is leading all the league in runs scored, having ac counted for more tallies than any two of his rivals. SPORT WHEEZES Beinar Purloined Dog; Meat. Frana Pies, Lemon Sandwiches, Etc (By Clug.) In spite of the fact that baseball is the all absorbing topic, Jess Willard still retains his place on the sporting pages. The latest dope on Jess is that he will remain in the fight game five years. Then he will retire to a Kan sas farm and take life easy. Jess will be in Topeka Saturday. All local boxers and prizefighters who have ambition will be given a chance to meet him. Every application for a bout will be given due consideration. Topeka will have a chance to see the Savages in action for the next eight days. After the Denver Bears have been 'thoroughly digested, the Lincoln Tigers will follow with a four day menu. In baseball, as in football, the same rule holds. The team that does the most scrapping usually wins the most games. In the gridiron sport the team that draws the heaviest penalties usually takes the big end of the score. There's a reason. Soak your head in Postum sop. Mayor Bosse of Evansville, Ind., has issued a proclamation ordering all good citizens to attend the opening ball game of the season. He's the right kind of a Bosse. Ex. Of course, it would have been aw fully nice if the Savages had made it three straight in Wichita. But two out of three ought to satisfy anything short of a hog team. And, besides, it is mighty hard to win a game on five little hits. Due credit where credit is due. Indications are that the Freshmen at Washburn will take the big end of the inter-class baseball series. Pos sibly this does not shower the upper classmen with bouquets, but it speaks well for future athletics at the Blue and White school. S-h-h! Here is a secret about Jess Willard's ancestors that is not gen erally known. More than a hundred years ago the Willards were farmers back in Kentucky, the Dark and Bloody Ground. This explains it all. Farming in Kentucky a hundred years ago was conducive to champion ship productions. In spite of a fusillade of .denials from organized baseball, the rumors of peace have good foundations. If the Feds no not get into the Inner cir cle now, it -will not be long before they do. Peace is sure to come. Or ganized baseballs pride is all that is keeping the belligerents apart. The Federals are showing strength this season. They are getting publicity, their box scores are appearing in the metropolitan papers and the fans are beginning to talk about the outlaw players and their feats. Slowly the Federal League is cut ting into organized baseball. The Feds cannot be frozen out except at enormous expense. Baseball is a bus iness, and when you can't freeze out your competitor you take him in. The invasion of the Federals has given strength to the players. Salaries are too high. Interest is decreasing. The only solution of the problem is to compromise, and that compromise will be here before another baseball sea son starts. It was the Topeka Greys wno de feated the Santa Fe Athletics Sunday; not the Braves, as was stated in Mon day's issue of the State Journal. FEDERAL LEAGUE.

Colonel Roosevelt also appears to be headed in the direction of establishing another world's record longevity on the witness stand. "Play Ball" has been sounded for the season of 1915. Are you going to pay your share to support the Savages as they should be? Paste this in your hat as a bumper crop prediction. The Kansas alfalfa crop for this year is going to be of astonishing proportions. Latest news dispatches from Europe would seem to- indicate that the Ger mans are the engineers in charge of 'the spring drive" in the western arena of the war. As the Chicago Herald observes: The United States still continues to proceed on the wise theory that' it is better to be unpopular and neutral than popular and shot-up. Neither can there be any kicking in these parts on the quantity and quality of the April showers for 1915. The only unusual thing about them is that they arrived during the month of April. That Is decidedly- unKansas Uke. As the unusual is always happening. Denver surgeons were- successful in re moving from the stomach of one of their patients a set of false teeth he swallowed. Generally, in operations of this sort, it is discovered that the vic tim didn't swallow the teeth at all. Several Kansas farmers are said to own a California gold mine where rich pay dirt, or quartz has just been struck. But they probably won't pull any more wealth out of it than the bulk of the Kansas farmers do from their fields, which are veritable gold mines of the first water. Germany also seems to work on the theory that scaring folk to death Is the next best thing to landing on them with shells from 4 2-centimeter guns. She has permitted a report to leak out that one of her naval squadrons is en route across the Atlantic for the pur pose of assaulting the seaport towns of Canada. If Italy gets what she wants with out participating in the war, it will be the easiest picking that ever fell to the lot of any nation. But sup pose the Allies eventually win a com manding victory over their Teutonic enemies. Perhaps they'll have some thing to say as to w-hat will fall into Italy's maw. Paris newspapers are praising the address by President Wilson before the members of the Associated Press. And white they are yet to be heard from, it is a foregone conclusion that the Berlin papers will express an op posite view. It isn't within the realm of reason that any human utterance of these days would receive the endorse ment of both the Berlin and Paris editors. Certainly the "dandy" in dandelion is appropriate for this year. Never was the crop in these parts of such bumper proportions. Why not organize a local swat-the-dandelion campaign? Evi dently the swat-the-fly crusade isn't going to require much energy in To peka this year. And if the -.ruthless march of the dandelion is not checked, the magnificent parkings of Topeka will soon be weed beds, as many of them already are. GOLD NOT ONLY CURRENCY. What manner of world is it we have made, this modern world dominated by the idea that gold is currency be tween man and man? asks The New Republic, and continues: For we have not only one currency, but two. It is money Indeed which transfers the ownership of things from one person to another, without respect to the real relation the thing owned bears to its possessor; but art is the medium for transferring the fullness and meaning of life from one to another personal ity. As things are, both currencies necessarily persist, and the question is not -whether they contradict each other but on what terms they should be made supplementary. Shall the transfer of life by art pro ceed as incidental to the transfer of things by money, or the transfer of things be made to serve the creation of life? The poverty of civilization, from the point of view of being, is ob viously due to its wealth as power of material exchange. Everywhere the creative nature is compelled to ob serve a standard and a law applicable not to men but to things. And more and more, in consequence, tne pur. chasing power of money decreases with respect to its control of know! edge and enthusiasm. SUPPORT THE SAVAGES. Topeka's baseball season for 1915 is at hand. And the important ques tion is. What will its harvest be? In a large measure, the city's baseball enthusiasts have the answer in their keeping. Much depends upon the ex tent to which they support the team during the earlier stages of its career. Of course, it is impossible to judge the class of the team by its most creditable and encouraging performances at Wichita.- But the team looks pretty good. Certain it is that Owner Sav age has done wonders with the situa tion that confronted him when he took over the club. It seemed im possible that there was sufficient time or material of the quality needed with which rebuild the Topeka team and remold it into a form of Western League proportions. The trick seems to have been turned, however, and Mr. Savage begins the season with the full confidence of the fans that he is the right man in the right place, and that he will provide Topeka with at least a first division team if he is giv en half a chance. And the half a chance that he needs is generous sup port on the part of Topeka's baseball bugs,,' and especially during the first ten or twelve weeks of the season. The team as it now stands and is play ing seems to be entitled to such sup port. And if some weak spots de velop in the team such support is essential to provide the re sources with which to plug them up with better men. So let's get behind Owner Savage and his ball tossers at the beginning of the season and give them the boosting that they deserve; not cheers alone from leather lungs, but two-bit and four-bit pieces from leather pocketbooks. Topeka's rank and file are respond ing nobly to Washburn's call. The local endowment subscription has tak en the form of a popular movement in the fullest meaning of the term. The goal is still many thousands of dol lars away. But it will be reached. It must be. Failure is impossible after the magnificent showing that has al ready been made. WAR GOALS AND DEEDS. With the uncovering of her plans to make another major and desperate effort to reach Dunkirk and Calais, it is apparent that Germany has not Vet shelved her pet desire to invade Eng land. So far, however, the European war has been a struggle in which none of the goals of any of the partic ipants has been reached. At its begin ning, Germany figured on overwhelm ing France and taking possession of Paris before the French got their eyes open to what was going on. She got close, but a miss is as good as a mile in war as in everything else, for the other fellow. The British navy sounded the torn toms and declared that it would proceed to dig the Ger man fleet out of its base like a rat is dug from a hole. Russia was going to make merry in Berlin on Christmas day. Austria intended to wipe Servia off the map. Nothing was going to stop General Von Hindenberg from marching his forces into Warsaw. The allied fleet announced it would sail through the Dardanelles and call at Constantinople on Easter Sunday. France -was 'certain that she would occupy all of the Alsace-Lorraine ter ritory long ago; and so on and so forth. And unless there is an absolute failure of ammunition and supplies on one side or the other, it would appear that the early history of the war in this respect will be repeated during the spring, summer and fall fighting. Germany, it would seem reasonable to urge, is just as near to an invasion of England as she will ever get. Mellish's comet, that is now staging a movie in the firmament, doesn't seem to be attracting the attention to which it is entitled, probably due to its failure to engage the press agents that Halley's comet had working for it. A recent photograph of the Mel lish meanderer shows it to be pos sessed of a tail of two divergent branches, the longer one of which is probably not less than 3,000,000 miles in length. Some tail, eh! A MUSEUM ON WHEELS. A traveling museum that goes to the public schools with illustrative material at the time it is needed is successfully used by the St. Louis, Mo., schools, according to a bulletin issued by the United States bureau of educa tion. It was the exposition of 1904 that first gave St. Louis the oppor tunity to extend to its schools the edu cational advantages of a great mu seum. After the fair had closed a number of the exhibitors donated parts of their displays to the public schools, and in this way the nucleus of an educational musem was obtain ed. When the material for the mu seum had been grouped, the question of using it most profitably had to be settled. As it" was found impracticable to supply every one of the hundred public schools of the city with a separate museum, it was decided that there should be one museum for all the schools and that by means of an automobile truck the museum ma terial should be sent to the various schools. The museum is arranged in close connection with the course of study followed in the schools. Among the groups of exhibits are: "Food products, material- for clothing, mounted animals, the life and occu pations of different peoples of the world, charts and colored pictures illustrating history, minerals and ores, and j charts illustrating geography, astronomy, and physiology." The museum reports show that in point of popularity the pictorial charts and the display of mounted birds come first. Material for clothing and the exhibit on food products come next in order of demand. The traveling museum of St. Louis has 7,000 individual and duplicate collections; 4,000 lantern slides; 8,000 stereoscopic views, and 2,000 colored charts and photographs, The school authorities make a point of the fact that there is nothing in the traveling museum which can not be used in direct connection with the work of the schools. It contains no curiosities nor abnormalities, no freaks of nature. The main purpose of the museum is to bring facts home to pupils as realistically as possible, and it has been so successful, and such a valuable adjunct to St. Louis' educational facilities, taht other cities might well adopt the plan. Manv individuals waste a lot of valuable time in waiting for their luck to change. Mont wives are optimistic to the ex tent of believing that they'll, do better when thev marry again. i A eirl seldom seeks release from her engagement to any old kind of a man unless she has a better otter. How fortunate' for society that so few of the "bad" men are as bad as they have the reputation of being. What's the answer?

A Holton young man in search of work, struck the waterworks contract or for a job the first of the week, tell3 the Holton Signal. The contractor looked the young man over and ob serving his youth and size, said, "I don't believe you will do, you are too light." The young man,, insisted that he was equal to -the task and held -out for trial. "No," the boss said, "I won't hire a man who isn't big efn6ugh to put me in the ditch." The young fel low whipped off his coat and in three seconds had the boss in -the ditch flat on his back. The boss concluded that further argument was useless In face of the facts and the applicant got the job. Globe Sights BY THE ATCHISON GLOBE. If it weren't so short, the high dive would be the poorest show. A man feels he is diplomatic when his wife accepts his excuses. Most of the heirlooms wouldn't be worth much for anything else. Possibly people are fond of dogs because a dog can't talk back. The man who doesn't do very well is apt to blame the town he lives in. A small town is one where all trains are referred to by their numbers. One has to associate with railroad men quit awhile to learn their lan guage. If a man is disposed to be a liar. he can always find something to He about. If you are really interested in the question, you don't care to hear both sides of it. A bachelor has no business knock ing the divorce evil. Wotinel does he know about war? A man will do almost anything for the woman he loves except let her select his neckties.. i Neither does a political orator need to get much applause to get all his performance merits. POINTED PARAGRAPHS. From the Chicago News. And many a slow man is fast asleep. But a young man loves an heiress for himself alone. Nature leaves a lot of work for the dressmaker to finish. A man seldom gets it in the neck by keeping his mouth shut. Of course, marriage -is a failure If the liabilities exceed the assets. How seldom does one need to use antifat on an obese pocket book! After the honeymoon marriage be gins to resolve itself into a guessing contest. No man should run for office whose character won't stand the witness box test. An indulgent husband may be all right if his indulgence is limited to a small glass. No, Maude, dear; the Bible doesn't mean manicure girls when it speaks of handmaidens. A man who is allowed to pick the wall paper for his home will also be allowed to rule the roost. It's a woman's imagination that keeps her young if she imagines peo ple can't see through a coat of paint' A little learning is a dangerous thing, so, after all, it may be just as well that one-half the world doesn't know how the other half lives. The woman who marries for money doesn't have occasion to worry when her husband's love grows cold, so long as he continues to hand out the cold cash. The famous equilibrist was balanc ing four billiard balls on a cue, much to the amazement of the vaudeville audience. "Humph!" snorted the young man with ink stains on his fin gers.

Evening Chat BY RUTH CAMERON. Three, Seven and Nine. Why is a dozen? "Why is twelve, a fixed stopping place any more than fourteen or eight? It is easy enough to see why with our numerical system built, on deci mals, five and ten should be way sta tions, so to spjeakbut why twelve? Aren't numbers qu :ser things any way when "you stop 'to think of them? And what an individuality some of them seem to have. Take three for instance. That's pre eminently the fairy tale number. Everything in fairy tales runs by threes. There are usually three princes, of whom the third and youngest is al ways the right prince. There are in variably three sisters, of whom, again, the third and youngest is the desirable one. If the prince has to undergo trials of his efficiency there are always three trials. In the Merchant of Venice, to take a grown-up fairy tale, there are three caskets, and of course it is the third to which the lady's suitors are led which is the right choice. On the other hand, take the fairy tales of our babyhood, how many little pigs did the bad wolf try to ''huff and puff" out of existence; and how many bears wanted to know, "who's eating up my porridge, who's been sitting in my chair, who's been sleeping in my bed?" Another series of three, by the way. Seven, I believe is supposed to be the mystic number, the symbol of the mystic religions. It is moreover a fa vorite number in the mysterious im agery of Revelations. You doubtless remember the seven golden candle sticks, the seven seals, the seven an gels with seven trumpets, and the mag nificent imagery of him that holdeth the seven stars in his right hand." Nine has always seemed an interst ing number to me chiefly because of a peculiar phenomenon based upon it. Take any number containing several digits such as 543 82, add these digits together and substract their sum from the original figures and the digits in the remainder added together will al ways make nine or a multiple of nine. For instance, take the number 54382. The sum of these rlgits is 22. Sub tract 22 from 54382 and you get 54360, the sum of whose digits equals eigh teen. This can be made into a parlor trick by asking anyone to take any number, add the digits together, sub tract the sum from the original num ber, then give you all the digits but one of the new number and you will guess the other. You do this, of course, by adding together the digits given you and subtracting from the nearest multiple of nine. The only difficulty is when the digits given you add up to nine or a multiple of nine. The remaining digit may then be eith er nine or zero. I have never heard anyone explain why this is so and if any reader friend can explain this mysterious property of nine, I shall be most interested, al though I doubt very much if I shall be able to understand the explanation. You see, I really am a woman. A New "Indoor Sport." T. A. Dorgan. "Tad" the cartoonist, was dining alone in a restaurant in Fulton street the other night. A stranger -dropped Into the seat opposite- and fell to discussing cartoons. "Now take my old friend Tad,"- said the stranger. "I like him personally.

As a boy among boys, Clyde Drew never engaged in battle. Not that he took to his heels every time there was a chance for a scrap, but that he was not naturally belligerent, and if there was a question at stake he was good at argument. There were scrappers at college who called him the deacon and let him go his way in peace. He didn't row, box, run, jump, play football, swim or enter into athletics in any way. He had a good figure and more than the average amount of muscle lying dormant, and he also passed a high examination. When young Drew left college he took a clerical position, and all his exercises consisted in walk ing. Once a friend took hold of his arm and found it as soft as a woman's. "Gee whiz! where is the muscle?" "I don't have to handle the crowbar or a sledge here," was the reply. "But supposing some one picked a fight with you?" "Why should any one?" "You may see some day. Maybe you carry a gun." i "No." "Well "I'm. not going around look ing for trouble, but if there is need for scrapping I shall be on hand at the old. stand." The conversation made no impres sion on Mr. Drew. He eould hardly conceive of a situation calling for muscle to get him out of trouble. He should insult no one; and no one would insult him. Miss Dora' Thorn arid Mr. Clyde Drew were engaged to be married, and it was a real love match. Mr. Drew had many admirable qualities and -had Dumc liiwtii.y uiiii a. gw,u oaiai J. It had been love at first sight, and an engagement followed in a few weeks. Mr. Thorn did not object to the engagement, made without con sulting him, but he said to the lovers: I think you have been over hasty. You know so little about each other that it's my wish that you should put the marriage off several months. When I was a young man I came very near rushing into a marriage that I should have repented the rest of my days." And when the postponement had been agreed to the girl said to her lover "Clyde, are you going to look for faults in me from now on?" "I couldn't find a single one if I looked ever so long," was the lover like reply. "That is nice of you. If you have any faults I have not discovered them yet." Did Miss Dora think it a fault that he was weak of muscles? Had she ever wondered if he was brave or otherwise? Had she ever felt the sense of pro tection when riding or walking with him that a strong man insures? She knew that he was fair looking and had a good figure, and that filled the bill physically. The loving couple were out for a spin in the auto one afternoon when, as they reached a narrow part of the highway they encountered a young man in a buggy. He was given more than his share of the road, but he was not satisfied with that. He brought his horse to a halt, and sat (scowling for a minute -before.,calKng out: "Hey, you dude, do you know that you are blocking the road." "'There's plenty of room for you to pass," replied Mr. Drew. "You are a liar and a hog, sir!" "Why, the man is ugly drunk!" whispered Miss Dora. She turned to her lover to find him pale-faced and his chin quivering. Mr. Drew had never expected to be insulted, but here it was, good and hot. "Are you going to keep me here all day?" snarled the stranger. "No one is keeping you," was an swered, but in a very mild voice. "I say again, you are a liar!" Miss Dora knew enough about man nature that when the lie was passed it meant a knockdown, and she trem bled over the answer that would be forthcoming, but there was no an swer. Mr. Drew was as white as a ghost and trembling like a rabbit. Was it with anger, or was he holding back on her account?' "Not only a liar, but a coward as well," added the young man. No answer no movement. The buggy was driven up beside the auto, and the driver's whip laid over the shoulder of a cringing man three or four times. Then the whipper said to Miss Dora: "You can see what sort of a cur he is. If you marry him, I wish you joy!" Then he drove on, and after the auto had proceeded a few rods it was turned about and headed for home. Not a word from Mr. Drew. Not a word from Miss Dora. But what was there to be said? Mr. Drew had played the part of a coward so abjectly that nothing he could say would excuse him. He had been called a liar and a coward. He had been horsewhipped and had cringed over it. He had let the girl be insulted. She was sorry for him in a way. and also knew bitter scorn. She was engaged to a coward, but would she ever ever marry him? "No never." It were better to have a.' drunkard and a wife-beater for a husband. They drove to her father's house and parted without a word. -They both knew it was the end. It was not until he reached the privacy of his room that Mr. Drew awoke from his stupor. Then he, who had scarcely ever used an oath, fell to cursing. He called himself names. He longed for some one to" kick him. "I am a coward a poltroon a thing!" he shouted at himself. "I have debased myself until men ought to kick me out of their company. If I had a pistol here I wouldn't wait a minute before shooting myself." By and by the young man grew a bit calmer, and he sat down and asked himself: "Why did I act the craven? Was I afraid of the man? Even a coward would have put up a fight un der the circumstances. There's some thing wrong with me, and I am going to find out what it is." He went down on the street and called in at the first doctor's office he came to. Fortunately for him, the doctor had studied something be sides illness. He let the young man tell his story without interruption, but listened very closely. "I have seen several cases like yours. You should have fought when a boy, to give you confidence in your self as a man. Your muscles are not as well developed as a woman cook's. You have been a peaceful young man. You have thought peace alone. You have not exercised your arms. You have never swung the clubs nor had the boxing gloves on. You have gone through life thus far thinking the time could never come when you would be insulted and have to resent it or run. 'Because jir' were-peacefal-minded, you argued that all others were the same. Am I not right?" "You are, doctor." "Well, in the first place, you were taken by surprise. You saw and heard what wa3 taking place, but you could: not credit it oecause it naa never nap- pened before, and it happened now without cause or warning. When the time came to use your rmuscle you aian t nave it with you, and that gave you -a helpless -feeling.-' -Young- man you are not a natural coward, -but you have been a very foolish person. Go and see the boxing master of a club." "And learn to fight?" asked Mr. Drew. "Learn that a man who goes only to hunt with an unloaded gun Is an idiot. You may never be called upon to fight, but if you are then you want to lick the other fellow." Mr. Drew left the doctor's office for a club, and that evening took his first lesson at punching the bag. In time he put on the gloves with the instruc tor and others, and in time again was called a fair boxer. "But this doesn't prove that you have grit," said his master. "I want you to put on the gloves with a slam bang and give him a licking. He has been guying you ever since you began. He says you are a milk-and-water sissy, and that a boy 10 years old can make you quit." For almost the first time in his life young Mr. Drew flew mad and wanted to- hit some one." He- soon had his chancel He was knocked down the. first thing, but he got up and put up such a fight that his opponent took off his gloves. Meanwhile he had employed a de tective to find out all about the man who caused his downfall. He lived about three miles from the spot where he had, been encountered and drove into the town regularly every Satur day afternoon. Not a word or line to him had come from his sweetheart through the long weeks but he did not hope nor expect. How could he? He must first rehabilitate himself in her esteem. One day an auto approached the Thorn residence from the north, and a buggy from the south. Miss Dora sat on the veranda. The two vehicles met in front of the house and the girl saw and heard all that followed. "Hello, here is the liar and coward again!" sneered the driver of the buggy. Mr. Drew moved his auto out of the road and got down. "This time he is going to run away!" Drew removed his hat and vest and rolled up his shirt sleeves. "Maybe he's going to pick daisies." "He is going to pick you, you loafer, if you dare come down here!" The next moment they were at it, and in her excitement the girl stood up to see. It took her lover just ten minutes to give the fellow the best licking of his life, and as the victor was nursing a bleeding ear and a skinned nose a hand was laid upon his arm and Miss Dora said: "I saw it all, Clyde, and I am proud of you! Father said you would do it some day. Come in and let me dress your hurts." (Copyright, 1915, by the He ctare Newspaper Syndicate.) QUAKER MEDITATIONS. From the Philadelphia Record. Doctors bills are apt to make peo ple bilious. The chronic borrower will tell you it is never too late to lend. It takes a pretty smart man to set a trap for the wolf at the door. There is no fool like an old fool who doesn't realize he is getting' old. It is quite possible to give a man back talk witiiout talking behind his back. "Have you had many cases in which you have given up all hope?" asked the young doctor. "Not until I have placed them in the hands of a collect ing agency," replied the old prac titioner. ANCIENT BUILDERS. Some day when you are out walking, go past a place where a big building is going up and notice the tools men have to work with. If the building is a large one, there will be steam shov els digging out the dirt for the founda tion. Great steel girders will be fast ened in place by automatic hammers. Steam carriers will be at work carry ing the bricks and the mortar to where it is needed and men with the best of modern tools tools made of iron and steel will be at work doing the actual building. If you are really interested, and I think you will be, stand at a safe dis tance and count the kinds of tools you can see the hammers, mortar trowels, shovels, picks count every thing that you see the men use. Then see how many of the tools are made of iron or steel. It would almost seem as if a build ing could not be erected without those tools, would it not? Yet those, fine tools are very modern things, and some of the finest build ings ever built were made with the crudest of tools. You all have seen pictures of the Pyramids, and of Greek and Roman temples, but did you ever see a picture of the great cave palaces of ancient Hawaii All the tools the Hawaiians had were made of wood or stone or bone: for there were no metals on the islands and the Hawaiians were not an ex ploring people. But with the crude tools made of these three materials, stone, bone and wood, the Hawaiians built hewn-stone walls. They felled great trees and they made canoes and barges that safely carried a hundred or more men! In addition to the building, they manufactured cloth, they made their weapons of warfare and they fashion ed dwellings and temples and tilled the soil. They had axes, adzes and hammers of stone; spades of wood; knives of ivory and needles of horn and bone. Their spears and daggers were made of hardened wood. Think of the years of toil it took I to build the famous cave palace on life! "mi i i I Kansas Comment THE McELHENE Y CASE.

Chicago is stirred as it has not been in many years by the death of Pr6f.T Charles R. Henderson, of its univer sity, who has died of overwork in try ing to improve conditions among the poor of Chicago. Prof. Henderson occupied the chair of sociology at the university, a post which ordinarily con notes academic interest in civilization. He was different from some of his cloth in that he was a practical man who went to work in Chicago during the severe stress of last winter and worked himself into his grave. Doubtless- he would have survived had there been more personal assistance given. It is not infrequent that martyrdom is necessary to awake the slothful crowd to a realization of a great problem and it has been the case in Chicago. Philadelphia Inquirer. HOPKINSON SMITH. The versatility of Hopkinson Smith is inevitably dwelt upon in the obit uary notices. Probably many experts with the pencil and brush have been equally gifted in other ways since many sided Leonardo's day. Hopkin son Smith was not the only artist of distinction in his own era who, having the gift of clear and poetic vision, could use words as well as colors with artistic effect. His most remarkable gift was his wonderful and incessant energy. He had also the rather un common gift of patience. He did not "dash off" his pictures or his stories, any more than he hurried his work on the sea walls and lighthouses he built in his vocation as engineer. He re tained his youth, in mind and body, and was so spry in his later days and so much a man of the hour that many persons will ben surprised to learn it has' he had lived seventy-seven years. Pos- terity must decide whether "Race Rock Lighthouse," the narrative of Colonel Carter, or some one of his many admirable and strikingly indi vidual pictures was his best work. In the view of his contemporaries all that he did was so well done that no choice of a best was possiblei New York Times. the point called Haupu.

Then he built paths up and down the rocky sides of the cliffs for the carrying of Partly It was hewn ont of the rod heart of the cliff. food; and last of all, he built the pal ace itself. Partly it was built on the top of the rocks and partly it was hewn out of the rocky heart of the cliff. When the whole was finished.

And if you are interested, read some day how the great fortress was finally taken, and how the doors and paths were blocked up with boulders, and destroyed. Think of the patient toil of the hun dreds of workmen who could build a fortress like that with only tools of stone and wood and. bone!

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE jnTTRlTAX TUESDAY. EVENING APBIL 27, 1915. 5 1 LLE 213 East 6th Street. MUSIC INTHE AIR The City Will Be Filled With Harmonious Sounds On the Occasion of S. S. Golden Jubilee Celebration. TOPEKA CHORUS OF 200 VOICES Another of Equal Size Comes From Jackson County. Famous Y. M. C. A. Quartet and a Local Orchestra. No small part of the interest in the Golden Jubilee Celebration of the Kansas Sunday School association, beginning: at Topeka next Monday night, with the first presentation of the great historical pageant, will be the music. A Topeka chorus of 200 voices, a Jackson county chorus of a like number, the famous Y. M. C. A. male quartet that has just completed a triumphal circuit of the world, a lo cal orchestra of a number of pieces, the Knights and Ladies of Security, band, a recital on the bip1 niDts organ at the Auditorium, the Topeka Indus trial Institute chorus those represent part of the music arranged for the big convention. Perhaps the most important fea ture, from a local standpoint, is the choral work in connection with the pageant, to be given next Alonday mght. The mu3ic will be in charge of Prof. H. Augustine Smith, of Chi cago, director of several choruses in his home city, who also will have charge of the general singing during the convention. The pageant music begins with the ancient Hebrew music, much of it weird and decidedly different from modern songs, and dates down to the great modern Sunday school music. The music will be handled for the pageant by a chorus of 100 adult singers and a semi-chorus of 100 young girls, and will accompany the scenes of the historical spectacle as they are presented. An orchestra of ten players under the direction of Mrs. E. H. Anderson will accompany the choruses. The singers and players have been taken from 24 Topeka churches by the music committee. The hymnal, "Wor ship and Service," to be used during the convention, is edited by Prof. Smith, leader of the music. The T. M. C. A. quartet sings at practically every session of the con vention, including the demonstration al morning schools, the afternoon meetings at the Auditorium, and the last night meeting of the sessions, Thursday night.

She might read in an ad vertisement or be told that it was all right in the quantities used, but in the end she would merely ask, "Do you mean to say that these baking powders con tain alum?" If the answer, however quali fied, were in the affirmative, that would be enough. She would not buy it. Why? Because she knows that cream of tartar has always been accepted as the most wholesome product for raising cake and biscuit, and she wants a baking powder made of cream of tartar, like Royal. This conclusion is the result' of unconscious absorption, either her own or her mother's, of the opinions of the highest authori ties on hygiene and home cooking.; The prudent housekeeper looks at the ingredients printed on the label.

Wednesday noon there will be a re cital on the big pipe organ at the Auditorium by Miss Mildred Hazel rigg, chairman of the music commit tee. Miss Hazelrigg at first declined to go on the program, but the gen eral arrangements committee, by unanimous vote, insisted that she give a recital, and she finally consented. Wednesday afternoon at the Audi torium, and Wednesday afternoon at 5 o'clock on the state house lawn, the Jackson county chorus of 200 voices, especially organized and brought here for the convention, will sing. Among their songs will be the famous Billy Sunday selection, "De Brewer's Big Hosses Can't Run Over Me," the song that has made one of the biggest hits in the Sunday meeting, and which has been sung everywhere by the Sunday chorus. Thursday afternoon at 5 o'clock the Knights and Ladies of Security band will play on the state house lawn. They will need no introduction to the people of Topeka, who have heard them many times. Thursday afternoon at the Audito rium the chorus of the Topeka In dustrial Institute will sing at the regu lar meeting, and will be a treat to music lovers. Five pianists for use in the demon strational schools in connection with the convention, and for overflow meetings at the First Baptist church also have been secured. They include Miss Gladys Dougherty, Mrs. E. H. Anderson, Miss Helen Coe, Miss Mar gery Glasgow and Mrs. Louis Floyd. Thursday morning in the demon strational school Professor Smith will present a children's chorus of 5 0 voices as an example of what can be done in training the young folks to sing. He also will appears as instruc tor in Sunday school music in the demonstrationl schools every morning of the convention. The committee handling the music for the convention consists of Mis3 Mildred Hazelrigg, chairman: M. C. Holman H. W. Jones, E. P. Hubbard, and Dean Horace Whitehouse. Act ing for Dean Whitehouse, who has been very busy with the spring mu sical festival, Mrs. G. W. Crawford has been of invaluable assistance to the committee, securing a large number of singers for the chorus, and other wise lending assistance. Former IT. S. Soldier Killed.

C. at Washington in May. Will Discuss Methods Used on Fire Smaller Roads. SANTA FE BUYS AN EXTENSION Will Build Connection to Oil Line in Oklahoma. Other Items of General Interest in the Traffic World. The interstate commerce commis sion, which is charged with the work of railway valuation, has been anxious to secure as much information as pos sible before adopting a definite valua tion method. It is not yet committed to the method employed in the case of the five small roads, is the report. It will listen, however, to all that will be said in favor of that method by the valuation experts, and to criticisms and proposals that will be made by the representatives of the railroads and of the association of railway com missioners. Having done this, the commission will probably be ready to announce the 'plan to be followed in hurrying the work to a conclusion. According to a report received by Topeka railroad men, C. A. Prouty, director of valuation, has grouped under 13 heads the questions which the conference will consider. They are as follows: 1. The form of the report to be presented to the interstate commerce commission by the valuation division and by the commission to congress. 2. In determining "cost of new construction" to what extent shall reference be had to conditions as they existed at the time of the original con struction 3. Shall the road reproduced in the form and manner in which it was originally built? 4. What overhead charges are to be allowed and in what amount? By overhead charges is meant such items as engineering, contingencies-, interest, taxes, etc. 5. Shall allowances be made for appreciation? If so, to what parts of the property? 6. How shall depreciation be de termined 7. How shall unit prices be deter mined? If for an average period, what shall the period be and shall it be the same for all roads? 8. How shall the present value of lands used for transportation purposes be determined? 9. When are lands "owned and used" for common carrier purposes? When are lands "dedicated" to the public use? The system to be followed in the valuation of American railways will probably be figured out at a confer ence to open in Washington, May 27, between representatives of the rail roads, representatives of the national association of state railway commis sioners, the men in charge of the valuation division of the interstate commerce commission and the mem bers of the commission. Perhaps 100 persons will attend the conference, which will last a week and possibly longer. It will be the purpose of the confer ence to dispose of the numerous trou blesome problems that have come up in connection with the valuation work. Preliminary reports are substantially ready in the division of valuation for submission to the interstate commerce commission, covering five of the shorter systems of the country. These reports will present on a compara tively small scale all the problems that will confront the government when it gets around to the valuation of the great trunk lines. The prices applied, in the valuation reports for these five roads are not final, but are given subject to correc tion; but in all other respects the re ports represent the final conclusion of the valuation division. The May conference will examine these five reports with great care and out of the examinations there will come propositions of various kinds, and in the end an agreement as to the method of procedure for the railroads of the country generally. In other words, the methods em ployed in the case of the five roads will be submitted to the conference for such amendment as may be deemed advisable. The interstate commerce commission will be the final Judge. The representatives of the railroads, of the national association of railway commissioners and of the valuation division, will argue their numerous points before the commis sion, which will then decide what is to be done. The program adopted will be made final, and upon it the work of valuation will be pushed to as speedy a conclusion as possible. 10. When original cost cannot be shown on the books of the carrier, shall an estimate be made? 11. Is it the duty of the commis sion to distribute the value of equip- Ho. 204 ment between different states? If so, upon what basis shall the distribution be made? 12. What are the "other values and elements of value," if any, which shall be reported in addition to the original cost, cost of reproduction new, and depreciation? 13. Is the duty of the commission completed when it reports to congress cost of new reproduction, cost of new reproduction less depreciation, origi nal cost to date, and other elements of value; or must it go further and state from a consideration of the facts which it reports, a value for the prop erty itself. WILL TAP OIL COUNTRY. Santa Fe Buys Brown and King line in Oklahoma. The Santa Fe railway has purchased the Brown and King road from Cush ing to Jennings, Okla., and will build the connecting link between the two towns immediately. A contracting firm recently started to build between Jennings and Cushing and work was begun from both terminals. The line from Jennings South was completed as far as the Cimarron river, and from Cushing north to Oiltown. The Santa Fe will build from Oiltown to the Cimarron, a distance of ten miles. The line taps some of the richest oil fields of Oklahoma. It was stated by an operating offi cial of the Santa Fe in Topeka today that the rumored line between Tulsa and Paris, Tex., will not be built this year. There has been considerable talk of such an extension, which would shorten the north and south lines by a great many miles. But there is no possibility of construction of that this year, or until the Santa Fe feels that it can afford td spend, money for ex tensions. i Wireless for Train Orders. New York, April 27. A new dis tance record for wireless telephone in railroad service was claimed today by officials of the Lackawanna road. Communications by wireless concern ing the movement of Lackawanna trains were exchanged between rail road superintendents at Scranton. Pa., and Binghamton, N. Y., 63 miles. Trains between those two cities were moved for several hours yesterday un der orders sent or received by wireless, L. B. Foley, the Lackawanna's super intendent of wireless, said he believed that within a few weeks wireless mes sages would be sent from Hoboken, N. J., to Scranton, 150 miles. The ul timate object of the railroad's wire less experiments is to establish through wireless connections between Hoboken and Buffalo. RAILWAY NOTES. It has been rumored that the St. Louis, Rocky Mountain Pacific rail way, recently acquired by the Santa Fe, will be extended west from Ute Park to a connection by Denver Rio Grande at or near Caliente, about forty miles. Local officials, however, have hoard nothing of the report. It was stated in local railroad cir cles today that the Florence Cripple Creek railroad is tearing up the tracks and ties of its line between Canon City and Cripple Creek. Four years ago a cloudburst washed away four miles of track and the company ar gued with the state commission that repairs would exceed the slim profits. The Florence Cripple Creek' will still continue to operate the auxiliarv lines, the Colorado Springs Cripple Creek and the line between Florence and the gold center. The decision in the enginemen wage case will probably be handed down by the federal arbitration board this week. The result will be watched with interest by railways and em ployees. H. E. Ray of Topeka, general store keeper of the Santa Fe, is on a tour of inspection of the coast lines of the system. Rock Island officials are on a tour of the second division today, headed by A. E. Sweet, general manager; G. W. Rourke, assistant general man ager, and several other officials. Santa Fe officers from Topeka will leave next week for southern Kansas and Oklahoma, to inspect the lines there and incidentally to look over the new interests in the oil fields which the road has just acquired. DON'T SQUEEZE BLACKHEADS-DISSOLVE THEM Squeezing and pinching out black heads make the pores large and cause irritation then, too. after they have become hard you cannot get all of them out. Blackheads are caused by accumulation of dust and dirt and secretions from the ckin and there is only one safe and sure way and one that never fails to get rid of them a simple way, too that is to dissolve them. Just get from any drug store about two ounces of powdered neroxin sprinkle a little on a hot, wet sponge rub over the blackheads briskly for a few seconds wash off and you'll be surprised to see that every blackhead has disappeared, and the skin will be left soft and the pores in their natural condition anyone troubled with these unsightly blemishes should try this simsle method.

RED PEP'S PHILOSOPHY Betrayed by a pasteboard tag. the tour of two Kansas City youtns wno started out Monday afternoon from Kansas City in a "borrowed" auto evi dently to "see the country." came to an abrupt end this morning in xopeita when the two were arrested at the Ford Auto agency of Jackson stree bv Detectives Goff and Donovan. The bovs were booked at the police station for grand larceny and cave their names as George Kirby and Roy Smith. According to Chief Parsons the real name of "Smith" is Behee. The two led officers in numerous cities and counties a merry chase un til thev were apprehended this morn ing. Chief Parsons received a call from Kansas City Monday afternoon to look out for two boys in a red Ford who were headed toward Topeka. The chief was advised that the car had been stolen from the Kelley-Spring- field agency at Kansas City. When the two arrived in Lawrence thev evidently became dissatisfied with the red Ford. They stopped long enough to steal another car, a five passenger Ford touring car. They dismantled the car taken from Kan sas City and loaded several parts of it into the Lawrence auto. A wheel tin en from the Kansas City car was tied on the back end of the touring car and other preparations made for long tour. The local police force combed the town for the stolen car Monday even ing and were not advised of the Law rence theft until midnight. Early this morning Officer McGuire noticed a car covered with mud with extra tires attached with a pasteboard tag bearing a license number corning up Kansas avenue near Second street. McGuire telephoned the police sta tion. Pasteboard tags on autos are not common in Topeka. The two boys drove to the Ford agency, within a half-block of the po lice station, where they were arrested by Donovan and Goff. Kirby is 19 years old; Smith or Be hee is 21. Officers from Kansas City were in Topeka today and will take the two youths back to Kansas City. AT THE THEATERS. Pavlowa Thursday. Mile.

Gray hair, however handsome, de notes advancing age. We all know the advantages of a youthful appear ance. Your hair is your charm. It makes or mars the face. When it fades, turns gray and looks dry, wispy and scraggly, just a few applications of Sage Tea and Sulphur enhances its appearance a hundred-fold. Don't stay gray! Look young' Either prepare the tonic at home or get from any drug store a 50-cent bot tle of "Wyeth's Sage and! Sulphur Compound." Thousands of folks rec ommend this ready-to-use prepara tion, because it darkens the hair beau tifully and removes dandruff, stops scalp itching and falling hair; be sides, no one can possibly tell, as it darkens so naturally and evenly. You moisten a sponge or soft brush with it, drawing this through the hair, tak ing one small strand at a time. By morning the gray hair disappears; after another application or two, its natural color is restored and it be comes thick, glossy and lustrous, and you appear years younger. Adv. Near the end of the theatrical sea son in Topeka, a season which ap peared to be mediocre until a few weeks ago, came "The Henrietta." With an all star aggregation of prin cipals, including the dean of the American stage, William H. Crane, the more or less revised version of the great comedy was presented at the Grand last night. The changes from the original "Henrietta" are slight, in a few instances the play was modern- zed and two or three characters were dropped. These were Lady Mary, Lord Trelawney and the valet. It is without exaggeration to say that "The New Henrietta" is the best play that has been in Topeka this season, one of the most popular in sev eral seasons. To those who saw Mr. Crane and Mr. Robson several years ago in the same vehicle, and who rather expected to be a little disap pointed in the revival, it is enough to say that their expectations were not realized. Thomas W. Ross, who has succeeded Robson, plays the part of the financier's son to a perfection that compares his work favorably to that of the originator of the role. The five principal characters are stars of no uncertain prestige. Wil- lam H. Crane was Nicholas Van Al- styne, the capitalist, and his great por trayal or Old Nick seems more fin ished than it was years ago. Even to the finest details, to the little move ment of the cigarette case and the pocket handkerchief. Crane was flaw less. Thomas W. Ross, as Bertie "Van Alstyne, was clever and every sentence he uttered was worthy of a hearty laugh. Maclyn Arbuckle, as the Rev. Murray Hilton, was jovial and pos sessed all of the pleasantness that is generally conceded to a fat man. When he Jumped down and begged the ticker to lump higher, when he saw his savings of a life time passing away, his actions brought down the house. Amelia Bingham, as Mrs. Ondvke. with her quick and varying change of moods, with her many delightful lit tle flirtations with Old Nick and the minister, handled her part with so much success that it left no doubts of her popularity in Topeka with the re ception she was recorded. And last but not least was Mabel Taliaferro, charming and pretty as Agnes, who loved Bertie. Her grace fulness and her presence and her nat ural instinct for acting, showed up well at the performance last night. There was no discrimination in the way these five stars were received. At the end of every act they had to re spond to several curtain bows. At the close of the third act, the audi ence became so insistent with their applause that Mr. Crane came to the front and made a brief talk with a well turned compliment for the city. He was followed by Mr. Ross, Mr. Ar buckle and Miss Bingham, the latter also speaking for Miss Taliaferro. The company that supported the stars was a consistently good cast. Miss Eileen Errol, as Rose; James J. Ryan, as Mark Turner; Malcolm Bradley, as the secretary; 'Arthur S. Hull as Dr. Wainwright. and Ihe oth ers, J. H. Huntley, Edward Polland and Miss Zeffie Tilbury, aided in the effectiveness of the production. S. J. A BIG CTICRCH LEAGUE. CONCERTOF NOTE Minneapolis Symphony With Topeka Musical Art. Festival Augmented at Audi' torium Tonight. Two Schedules WU1 Bo Played toy To peka Amateur Organization. The Topeka Church league will hold its regular meeting this evening" at the office of their president, H. B. How ard. 716 Kansas avenue. Five intermediate teams (under 19) have already registered and four senior teams (no age limit), so that two ball leagues are assured. Several other teams are in prepara tion and should be reported at this meeting. A schedule committee 'will be elected as well as a secretary manager tonight at 8 p. m. (By Bertha Hempstead.) One of the finest musical organiza tions of America, the Minneapolis Symphony orchestra, played in Topeka Monday night, furnishing the opening program for the spring festival, which is continued todav and tonignt. xne festival is the product of the efforts of the Topeka Musical Art society, ana is the realization of a dream of Hor ace Whitehouse, the young musician who heads the department of fine arts at Washburn college. It has been the ambition of Mr. Whitehouse. ever since he came to Topeka. to make this town a center of musical culture, lie has met with defeats and disappoint ments that were legion, but he has stayed with the game ear In and year out, and this season he and his help ers, including some of the leading business men of the city, have provid ed for music lovers of Topeka a series of concerts rich in the best music that has ever been written and rendered by artists of a high order. The auditorium, which is tne scene of the festival, has been looked to in a decorative way and made gay for the event. The platform, which has been built; out to accommodate the orches tra and the singers, is hung with the national colors and adorned with flow ers and blooming plants. i na iiai part of the first floor has been emp tied of the rows of forms, and boxes" put in their places. The boxes are marked off' by little wooden pillars topped with potted plants in bloom, and stretched between th3 pillars are strands of red ribbon. The box hold ers, who are patrons and patronesses of the festival, with their guests, in formal evening attire, lent distinction to the scene of last night's performance. The program began with Tschai- kowsky's famous fifth symphony. It is written in E Minor, except the last movement, which is in the major key. Emil Oberhoffer, the conductor, has been in Topeka before, with his fa mous band of musicians. This slen der, self-possessed man with the long, thin face of the ascetic. Is a. musician who combines fire and energy with rare delicacy and finesse in his man agement of his orchestra, and tne or chestra, under his direction, played the great symphony in a way remark able not for taste and accuracy alone, but for spirit and vitality as well. It set forth examples of ensemble distin guished by precision and a careful re gard for classic tradition, and also by a freedom and elasticity of style that bore witness to sympathy and com plete mutual understanding between orchestra and conductor, rarely en countered. Particularly to be com mended was the simple eloquence de veloped in the delivery of the an dante's charming cantibile, which formed the second movement of the symphony. The first soloist of the evening was Miss Marie Sundelius, soprano. So well was the audience pleased with her efforts that she was twice en cored, but failed to respond the last time. She sang an aria from Carmen and Arditi's Walse Song for an encore. Her voice "is of unusual power, bril liancy in timbre, vital and sympa thetic, and full of many delightful, nexpected shades and inflections. Also she has a pleasing exterior and a personality that makes itself felt by er listeners. The soloists of the orchestra, Rich ard Czerwonky, who has the first desk f the violins, played as a solo, Intro duction and Rondo Caprlccioso, with orchestra accompaniment. His selec tion is a popular, but somewhat hack neyed number, to which he gave un expected interest. The perfect sup port given the soloists by the orches tra, was an important factor in the performance. There was a cordial response from the audience, and the violinist replied with a short compo sition of his own. A third number was demanded, and he played a favor ite selection of Fritz Kreisler's author ship. This Russian violinist is an art ist, a virtuoso who has depth and po etic charm in his work. Marion Green, the baritone soloist, sang twice, "Vision Fugitive," by Massenet, and a popular song, "Don't Care," as an encore. His voice is resonant, of good compass and flexi bility. However, he appeared near the close of a program which though one of excellence from first to last, was too long to command the same tense interest at the last as it received in the earliest part of the evening. The orchestra gives' a concert this afternoon, and the climax of the fes tival will be singing by the local chorus and the out of town soloists of Verdi's Requiem. SNAP SHOtS AT HOMTC NEWS.

The English public, hoping that the most violent phase of the German offensive alonti the Yser canal has been witnessed, is turning its attention again to the Dar danelles, where the landing of troops is still under way. Russia Is lending earnest co-operation by bombarding the forts of the Bosphorus, where a Turkish battleship is reported to have made but a feeble reply. No attempt is made here to mini mize the importance of the German operations in Flanders, which have been declared to be at least an ample revenge for the British victory last month at N'euve Chapelle. The Bel gian official report of today claims the repulse of three German attacks south of Dixmude. which indicates that the German contention that thoir advance was made over a front ex tending from Ypres to Dixmude was accurate. The latest official German communi cation claimed the recapture of Li zerne from the French, tut the Bel gian report made subsequently, asserts that possession of the town was won for a second time, and that the French were greatly assisted in the assault by Belgian artillery. Lizei ne, on the western side of the canal, has been a. bone of fierce contention, having changed hands four times in the course of the present fight. Its im portance is due to the fact that its possession would give the Germans an important hold on that side of the canal and would compel the allies to readjust their line. That the possible outcome of the fighting along the Yser is causing anxiety in England is indicated by the demand of the press this morning that the government expedite the sending of a new army to France. A strong German offensive is under way also at St. Mihiel. Thus the two points where the German offensive ceased before Christmas on the Yser and at St. Mihiel have been chosen for resumption of activities in the spring. It remains to be seen whether these points have been selected as feints while the main onslaught is made elsewhere. The eastern front is receiving so.nt attention. Official reports merely speak of detached actions in the re gion of the Carpathian passes. WANT 2-CENT RATE. Mttsburgr and Joplin Railway Asks -Increase 111 Schedule.' Officers of the Pittsburg and Jop lin Railway company today filed ap plication with the public utilities com mission for a. permit to establish a straight two cents a mile passenger rate over its lines. At present the rates are based on zone districts. The Pittsburg-Joplin line serves a big territory in southeastern Kansas and does an extensive interurban busi ness. Its lines connect some of the more important towns in the minirg district and is heavily patronized. Fol lowing the plan of other interurban railway companies, the management has in the past based its rates on zone districts. Now it wants to collect a regular passenger schedule and has filed with the utilities commission an application for a straight two cents a mile rate. Hearing on the application has been set for May 4. 1ISKED THE PEN. Paroled Illinois Prisoner Broke in and Took Tools. Springfield, 111.. April 27. All rec ords for "breaking into the peniten tiary" have been shattered by Alfred Jackson, a prisoner at Chester, 111. A month ago he was ordered pa roled and his papers were signed by Attorney Welsh of East St. Louis. At for Fletcher's Signature of IKIBbMlMtlHUl JLm i 57 f m 25aSssssssa the end of twelve days Jackson's $10 given each prisoner by the state when he leaves the penitentiary was gone and Jackson was without employment. When he was on the verge of giving up in despair he drifted into the plant of the Nelson Prog and Switch com pany at Kast St. Louis, offering to work at anything. Jackson was told he must furnish certain tools. During his two years in the Ches ter prison he had made hammers, calipers, nippers and other tools. He caught a freight train and rode to Chester, arriving about midnight. Near the prison he found an old hatchet and with it broke a lock on one of the main gates. Once inside the walls, Jackson made his way to the shop where he had left the tools he made when a prisoner. He pro cured them, got away and made his way to the depot a mile away. At 4 o'clock in the morning he was picked up as a suspect by the local authorities. They recognized the prison suit given him when he left the institution and returned him there. Jackson's story has just been re lated to the board of pardons, be fore which he appeared charged with violating his parole. The pardon board ordered a careful investigation by one of the parole agents and prob ably will again parole Jackson. LIVES IN CELLAR Edouard De Iieszke Reduced to Poverty by War. Xoted Polish Basso Writes of His Country's Suffering. Xew Tork, April 27. Edouard De Reszke, the noted Polish basso, for so many years a member of the Metro politan Opera company, is now living in a cellarin Poland. He has no fuel, no oil, no coffee and has been reduced to a state of destitution as a result of the war that rages in Poland. The above information was given out here today by the American Pol ish relief committee of which Marcella Sembrich is president. The informa tion concerning the plight of De Reszke came to Xew Tork in a letter written by the basso to his brother, Jean De Reszke, the tenor. "My poor brother," said Jean De Reszke, "was unable to get away from the war zone in time. He wrote this letter several weeks ago and now I fear he may never survive the terrible hardships. He had plenty of money and a splendid estate, but all were swept away." "My dear brother," wrote Edouard. "whether this will ever get through the lines and reach you I do not know. I am sure no man could get through alive, with all this fighting and the continual bombardment on every hand. "The war broke with such sudden ness that it was impossible to escape. I was forced to remain here on my estate in Garnesk. This part of Po land has been reduced to worse than a desert. All is desolate and every one is suffering. My beautiful estate has met the common fate and been re duced to ashes. I am now living in a cellar with scanty covering. If a shell should drop in it would afford no pro tection. So fierce has been the fight ing here that there have been days when I could not venture forth. We have been. between two fires- All Po land needs relief. I have no coal, oil, coffee and only a handful of grain left. Through the cold and the rain I have had but poor shelter, but my lot is the same as that of my fellow countrymen here Every one is in want; every one is suffering. Many are dead and many more will die un less aid reaches them soon. Prince Lukeuirski and his wife recently reached, here and are sharing my cel lar with me. Their own beautiful es tate has been destroyed and even the cellar blown to atoms bv the shells." ROSES LOVE, TOO. 3Iore Violently Than Men, Says Plant Research Professor. Philadelphia. Pa.. April 27. Pro fessor Henry G. "Walter, head' of the plant research institute of Longborne, declares that roses fall in love. He says that the passion of the Killarney for the crimson rambler is wholly sensuous. "In fact," said the professor, "the love of a rose or the Vitodynamic de sire to bring about physiological and chemical union of two rose cells, the desire of the rose cell for union is never governed by spiritual ideals or conscious standards of ethical worth. It knows no morals." The professor added that if a man loved as violently and recklessly as the roses, the divorce courts would be running over time.

FRENCH 75'S MAKE A NOISE Like That of an Endless Roll of Thunder. The Expenditure of Ammuni tion Is Absolutely Fabulous. (By William G. Shepherd. Copyright, 1915, by the United Pres& Headquarters of the British Over seas Expedition, Xorthern France, April 27. The greatest artillery duel in the history of the world was in progress Monday from the sea to south of Ypres. Even the artillery experts at headquarters will not forecast a guess as to the number of guns in use. But they ran far into the thousands and their dischage and the explosion of the shells thrown by them rocked the country as though an earthquake prevailed. There is one little bridge that cross es the canal at a point on the allied front. Here all day 20 great German field guns have been engaged with 18 English and French. As fast as the guns could be loaded they- were dis charged, yet it was not until nightfall that the German guns had at last been silenced. The French 75's, the pride of the French government, dem onstrated at last their wonderful superiority over every other sort of mobile field artillery. So rapidly were they discharged that the noise sounded like an endless roll oi tnun der. Air Scouts Busy. The expenditure of ammunition was absolutely fabulous. As far as the glasses could carry one saw white bursts of exploding snrapnel, tne DiacK clouds from the German guns on the feathery floating smoke waves that showed where the shells from the anti aircraft guns were exploding far up in the dome of the sky. There, Ger man and allied airships were dashing full speed hither and thither, seeking to locate the movements of the massed troops below. For 60 miles along the Flanders front the artillery was engaged in a titanic duel eclipsing anything of the sort that ever had been dreamed of heretofore. The allied artillery had been brought up and was being used to straighten out the dent in the bat tle line that had been put into it by the German dash. Throughout Monday whenever the north wind blew, the Germans resort ed to the use of their poisonous gases in a vain endeavor to asphyxiate the allied troops in their trenches. The gases are thrown into the air so as to float across, the allied trenches but the British know now what to, expect and are prepared to meet-.the-danger. Standing on a hill in-Belgium, five miles from Ypres, it was possible to detect sulphurous odors but it was im possible to say whether these came from the' German gas bombs or from the thousands of shells that were breaking along inside the lines. TO RAISE 510,000,000 Methodist Leaders Plan Pension Fund for Ministers and Families. Chicago, April 27. Plans to raise a $10,000,000 fund to provide pensions for retired Methodist ministers, their widows and orphans were outlined at a national conference of bishops and conference representatives of the Methodist Episcopal church which opened here today. In an address of welcome. George W. Dixon, president of the Chicago Home Missionary and Church Extension society, said that provision for old age was a great mod ern humanitarian movement and that the church owed to its retired minis ters a debt it could never repay. "All great mercantile and industrial concerns are recognizing their debt to aged employees and surely the church should lead rather than to follow in such a movement," Mr. Dixon said. The pension plan includes the establishing of a retiring annuity based on the years of service given by the minister and the providing of such additional amount as maybe necessary in cases where the condition requires more than the pension affords. Rev. Joseph B. Hingeley, corresponding MANY CASES OF RHEUMATISM NOW Says "We Must Keep Feet Dry, Avoid Exposure and Eat Less Meat. Stay off the damp ground, avoid ex posure, keep feet dry, eat less meat, drink lots of water, and above all take a spoonful of salts occasionally to keep down uric acid. Rheumatism is caused by poisonous toxin, called uric acid, which is gene rated 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 fleeing the blood of this impurity. In damp and chilly, cold weather the skin pores are closed, thus forcing the kid neys to do double work, they become weak and sluggish and fail to elimi nate this uric acid which keeps ac cumulating 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 fui in a glass of water and drink be fore breakfast each morning for a week. This is said to eliminate uric acid by stimulating 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 i3 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 ben eficial to your kidneys as well. Adv. secretary of the board of conference claimants; who made an address, said the movement for a retiring compe tency for aged ministers was on in all the great denominations and is being pushed with great force by the Presby terians, the Methodist church north and south, the Protestant Episcopal, the Disciples church, and certain sec tions of the Baptist and Congregation al churches. The Methodists, with whom the $10,000,000 movement ia but a few months old. already have obtained $1,000,000, Doctor Hingeley said. "The present intensive campaign," said he, "will reach its culmination at the meeting of the general conference at Saratoga Springs in May, 1916." The meeting here is being attended not only by men prominent In Meth odism, but by representatives of other denominations with pension schemes of their own. The denominations, it is said, are aiding one another in the movement. BUY IT AT HOME. Factory Survey Shows Duty of To- pekans Here. The factory survey which is being conducted by the Commercial club has revealed some interesting facts concerning the Wolff Packing com pany. Some of the information pro cured was Included In a letter to 1,000 Topeka housewives, sent out by the publicity committee of the club, under Charles Dillon. The letter follows: "Dear Madame When a business pays $6,000 a year in taxes in Topeka it is entitled to your support. Isn't it? This is one of the big facts shown in the Commercial club's report of the Wolff Packing company, the first plant vi3ited in the club's industrial survey. It shows, also, that this firm employs 250 or more persons, 223 of them over 21 years old. Its employees have 288 children future citizens. Isn't this worth remembering when you buy provisions? "But there are other facts in this report: The Wolff Packing company spends an average of $2,600,000 a year for raw material, 15 per cent of it in Shawnee county. It pays out annual ly $167,500 for wages, and this Is spent right here at home. Don't you believe in encouraging such a business by buying its products? These prod ucts are worth nearly $3,000,000 a year, and you and the other house wives of Topeka might double the output, double the payroll, double the amount spent in Topeka, and make this plant grow until its taxes would be a mighty factor in the upbuilding of the city. "The other firms listed on the back of this letter will be reported upon before the Industrial survey is ended. They are all entitled to your support. Read the list. Ask for Topeka Made Goods when you buy, and help in improving the city by increasing its commercial output. V ery truly yours. The Commercial Club, "PUBLICITY COMMITTEE, ""Charles Dillon, Chairman." The survey shows that of the 179 employees who answered the ques tions submitted 128 are married and 51 single. These persons have 288 children, of whom 106 are in school and 76 work ing. Twenty-seven have temporary employment and 47 permanent em ployment. Of the employees reporting 32 own their own homes and 74 rent. The prevailing nationalities are: Ameri can, German,- Irish, mixed, and col ored. Of the 29 colored persons eight own their own homes and seven rent. GAVE TO HARVARD. Three Descendants of Richard Dodge I jve in Topeka. That "a man's deeds live after him" is a truth pretty well accepted, but better brought to the actual compre hension by a look backwards. A Tooekan is in possession of a story which warrants the belief that generous gifts to colleges involves large consequences; and redound to the benefit of the giver. Among the early records of Beverly, Mass.. is a list of twenty-one subscrib ers to Harvard college, dated 1653, A. D. The name of Richard Dodge heads this list. We read in the "Dodge Family Genealogy" that his donation was large for those times. Again we read that some two hun dred and thirty years after, a certain "Four Hundred" all descendants of this Richard Dodge and his brother, Wm. Dodge held a grand family re union in Philadelphia. A large number in this gathering were college graduates, representing all professions of learning. In the list of guests we read a few familiar names, such as Senator Wm. Dodge of New York, Jos. T. Dodge of North ern Pacific railroad fame and com piler of the "Dodge Books," Abigal Dodge, better known as Gail Hamil ton, Martin Dodge of Ohio, who in late years visited Topeka in the in terest of good roads. General Gran ville Dodge of New York, and others. From the array of educators, au thors, civil engineers, doctors, law yers, statesmen, etc., we must con clude that the Dodges had lived dur ing those eight generations under the influence and training of colleges. And when we read, in addition, the records of the lives and the biograph ical sketches of nearly three thousand Dodge descendants, we must also con clude that a large measure of pros perity has attended the family of the man who showed in a substantial way his appreciation of a college. It is interesting to note, in this con nection, that among the generous con tributors and workers in behalf of Washburn college in its present cam paign for a $500,000 endowment there are three of the descendants of Rich ard Dodge, the early Harvard bene factor, namely: Mrs. H. L. Shirer, Mrs. W. A. S. Bird and Mrs. C. G. Blakely, all of this city. RELIEF IS IN SIGHT. Cargo of 72,000 Bottles Scotch Whisky Arrive From Glasgow. Xew York, April 27. Prominent club men heaved large sighs of relief as the prospect of an endless line of "S and S"s" stretched out before them and demon statisticians along the Xorth river jarred the well known numeral system fore and aft figuring out just how many highballs there are In 72.000 bottles of "Scotch." All of which leads up to the fact that the Anchor line Cameronia stag gered up the Hudson Monday under a load of just that number of bottles of Scotland's justly popular beverage di rect from Glasgow. This record breaking load was in terpreted tn some quarters as the first result of the prohibition wave in Eag. This is the most Important Advertisement I Ever Caused to be Published. Read Every Word and then Marvel On a personal visit to Mr. Henry Ford I broached the subject of a possible August 1st Rebate. (The Ford Company announced last year at yon well remember that if their total aalea reached 300.0UO car between August 1. 1914. and Aagtitt 1. 1915, each purchaser during that period would receive back a refuuil of $40.00 to $00.00.) "Mr. Ford," I suggested, "Is there anything I can say to our people with regard to the Ford Motor Company's 300,000 car re bate plan?" "We shall sell the 300.000,' was the quiet reply "and In 11 months, a full month ahead of .August 1st!" "Then a refund is practically tssured?" "Yes barring the totally unexpected. We are 50,000 to 75.000 cars behind orders today. Factory and branches are sending out 1800 daily." I then said to Mr. Ford: "If 1 could make a definite refund statement we would increase our local sales 500 cars." "Yon may say, was Mr. Forda deliberate and significant reply to thia "You may say that we shall pay back to each purchaser of a Ford car be tween August 1. 1914, anil August 1. 1915. barring the nnforseen. the sum of $50. You may say that I authorized you to make this statement!" What can I add to the above? $15,000,000 cash coming bavck to Ford owners! And to prospective Ford owners up to August 1. 1915. it actually means Ford Touring Cars for 40 less the S50 rebate! Ford Runabouts for $440 less the $5u rebate! What Is there left for me to say? E.

THE USE OF SOAP SPOILS THE HAIR Soap should be used very spar ingly, if at all, if you want to keep your hair looking its best. Most soaps and prepared shampoos con tain too much alkali. This, dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle, ruins it. The best thing for steady use is just ordinary mulsified cocoanut oil (which is pure and greaseless, is cheaper and better than soap or anything else you can use. One or two teaspoonf uls will cleanse the hair and scalp thor oughly. Simply moisten the hair with water and rub it in. It makes an abundance of rich, creamy lath er, which rinses out easily, remov ing every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves the scalp soft, and the hair fine and silky, bright, lustrous, fluffy and easy to manage. You can get mulsified cocoanut oil at any pharmacy, and a few ounces will supply every member of the family for months. Adv. 1 Phone. Modern? Any other meals?..

8 THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL TUESDAY EVENING APRIL 27, 1915. IT WAS A PACT The Youth Who Bought Poison for His Sweetheart Tells Officers They Had Agreed to Die Together. Lincoln. H'- April 27. After a right in solitary confinement, Daniel Hurley. 19 years old, charared with ad ministering;" the poison which caused the death Saturday of Katherine Rol ler. 17 years old. today told the state's attorney they had made a suicide agreement, lie gave no reason why they agreed to die and remained silent when asked whv he did not keep his end of the bargain. State's-Attorney C. R. Smith said he believed the boy lost his nerve after witnessing the suf fering of the girl, who went into con vulsions. Hurley said he had been engaged to Katherine for nearly a. year. From other sources the state's attorney learned that the engagement had been broken off by Katherine whose parents objected. The boy said he bought the poison at the request of Katherine, who tele phoned him Saturday before he called to "be sure and bring the stuff." Hurley said when he learned it was r.nir.n he tore un the envelope con taining the powder and threw it bv the roadside. An envelope which bore the mark of the pharmacy where Hur ley obtained the poison was found near a well at Broadwell, a cross roads postoffice where Hurley bought some candy and sandwiches and gave the girl a cup of water. Ten minutes aft er leaving Broadwell she became ill, he said. "Katherine was unhappy at home: they made her work all the time. She kept after me for a month to buy poi son for her. I kept asking her what she wanted with it, but the would kiss me and would not tell. "We had promised that neither would survive the other. If she died I was to die too, but I did not really think she wanted to die. Last Friday she called me up and asked meto get her some strychnine. I lid not know then that it was poison, out I said I would not bring it. anyway. Then he said that if I did not I need not come to see her. She had acted queerly. I wanted to marry her -ird I was afraid to antagonize her. "She asked for the stuff when I came to take her riding and I said yes. On the ride she asked for it. I tried to keep it from her but she said if I persisted she would get out and walk home. She would have done it too. I wish now I had let her. "We stopped at a pump after I gp ve her the stuff, and then got into the surrey again. Pretty soon she turned white, and then red. Her eyes seemed to be popping out. 'Dan.' she said. 'I am going to die.' Then she slid into the bottom of the buggy, and her head rested on my knees. I whipped up the horse and we ran all the way home. All the way she had convulsions. She would draw her knees up under her chin, and all the time she kept saying: 'Dan. I am going to die.' All I could do was to lay the whip on. "She wanted to die, I know it now but I did not know it then. She was unhappy at the way she had to live. She wanted to see life and she cuuld not so she chose death, but she never told me." roy would be a wise selection for the charter commission Mr. Purroy, a Democrat was sug gested in a letter written by Colonel Roosevelt read yesterday. Canal mat ters were discussed at length in this letter. Letter From Piatt. The following letter written by Senator Piatt, dated February o, 1900, was read "I have hardly had time to give the consideration it deserves to your letter of February 1 and the matter involved therein, and am inclined to take more time for mature delibera tion. The vice presidential question is a very important one and great deal depends upon it. Mrs. ilatt s condition is consider ably improved and it looks now as though I should be able to get to New York soon, at which time we can per sonally discus3 the vice presidential and other questions. Did you discuss the question in pursuance of that letter?" "I did." Then this reply from Colonel Roose velt, dated February 7, 1900, was read: "Your very kind note has just been received. I note that you expect to be in New York on Saturday. If so, I shall not try to lunch with you, but if convenient, I will call on you at the Fifth Avenue hotel at 3 p. m. My train gets in at 1:30 and so. I do not suppose, I could get to the hotel in time to take lunch with you. Will you wire me on receipt of this note? "P. S. I saw Kerens and told him I had written to you that I would not take the vice president nomination, but that I wanted nothing said until I had a chance to talk matters over with you. I would great deal rather be anything, say professor of history. TOMORROW IS BIG DAY FOR COLLEGE 'Continued from page Ona.J BARNES SIDE PICKS LETTERS (Continued from Page One.) were broader in national scope than the initial disclosures yesterday. Roosevelt showed not the slightest sign of fatigue today from his long witness stand ordeal. But the new curbing tactics of Barnes's lawyers caused the colonel to show some irri tation. New witnesses here today to follow Roosevelt on the stand were John A. Hennessy, graft prober for former Governor Sulzer, H. H. Vreeland. for mer president of the Metropolitan Street railway of New York. The line of the latter's testimony was kept secret by the Roosevelt forces. Urged to Sign a Bill. A telegram in which former United States Senator Piatt urged Theodore Roosevelt to sign a bill exempting from the franchise tax bill grade crossings of steam railroads and said that "our friends of the New York Central and Senator Depew were anx ious," was read. In reply the colonel wrote Senator Piatt he had received the telegram "too late." These messages were part of the additional correspondence that passed between Colonel Roosevelt and Sena tor Piatt, which was presented in court today. William L. Barnum, the cross ex aminer, started off his inquiry by ask ing Colonel Roosevelt whether he had the advice of Senator Piatt in regard to the nomination for the vice presi dency in 1900. "Did you value Senator Piatt's ad vice?" asked Mr. Barnum. "I am unable to say," replied Col onel Roosevelt. "You were entirely friendly with him then?" "Oh, yes," answered the colonel. "Did he advise you to accept the nomination "Don't say advise, sir," said Colonel Roosevelt. "Well, as a result of your interviews with Boss Piatt, did he so advise you Colonel Roosevelts counsel objected to the question which was ruled out. Mr. Barnum picked up the package of letters. The first one read was from Senator Piatt ro Colonel Roose velt, dated Washington, February 3, 1900. In the letter the senator agreed to postpone an engagement because of the illness of Mrs. Piatt. The sen ator also wrote. '"Perhaps Henry Pur- ROGERS' CAFE Segvflar Meals 20c M. E. ROGERS, Proprietor Tenth 1003 p Place of Good Coffee Lunch at all Hours than vice president. Dcpcw Was Anxious. Two other letters bearing on legis lation pending at Albany were then read. In a note to Senator Piatt the colonel suggested that he should "communicate with Mr. Odell on this subject at once." In his reply Senator Piatt said: "I will telegraph Odell at once and urge him to line up the Republican forces unitedly in favor of the bill. If you ."can find that any farther en deavors are necessary on my part I shall be only too glad to carry out any advice or suggestion on his behalf." Then this telegram dated May 7. 1900, from Senator Piatt to Colonel Roosevelt was read: "Our friends of New York Central are very anxious to have you sign senate bill 763, exempting from the franchise tax grade crossing of steam railroad. I hope you can consistently do so. Senator Depew is very anxious." The following was Colonel Roose velt's reply: "I received your telegram and one from Ford yesterday. It was too late for me to act, as I had already pub lished a memorandum stating not merely that Ford was against the bill but that the state tax commissioners opposed the bill. I did not receive your telegram until yesterday (Sun day). It was then altogether too late to get at the commission and again go over the matter with them. I am ex ceedingly sorry if any hardship has been caused either to the New York Central or the Long Island road but it was a matter where I really had to act according to the advice of the commission unless it could "be shown that they were in the wrong." Cross Examination by Ivins. Mr. Ivins then took up the cross ex amination. "What percentage of your adminis trative acts as- governor did you dis cuss with Senator Piatt?" "I can't tell. Probably in tfie ma jority of cases." Objections by Colonel Roosevelt s counsel against questions dealing with his autobiography were sustained and Mr. Ivins turned to two letters. The first was dated from Oyster Bay, Sep tember 16, 1908, addressed to Mr. Barnes. In it Colonel Roosevelt said after the election he wanted to see Mr. Barnes in Washington. He compli mented Mr. Barnes for making the Hughes nomination unanimous. "Do you remember what day you were elected president of the United States?" "No," replied the colonel with a smile. "Was it before November 4 "I believe it was November 3." "Are you prepared to say it was not the third?" "I am not." "Look at this letter. Was it writ ten before or after your election?" "It was written before." The letter was the one already in evidence in which Colonel Roosevelt told Mr. Barnes: "We are to be congratulated for the whole business, national and state." Reading of the correspondence be tween Mr. Barnes and Colonel Roose velt began when the afternoon ses sion opened. In the fir3t letter dated in 1904, Mr. Barnes asked Colonel Roosevelt whether he could do anything for a man who wanted to be appointed to an office. Mr. Barnes also wrote about "cocksureness of Charles Mur phy," (of Tammany Hall). Mr. Barnes said the Democrats had a way of di viding up offices before elections and that he believed they "would make serious blunders." In reply Colonel Roosevelt wrote that he would do what he could for the man Colonel Ham that it was delightful "having you and Mrs. Barnes here." $17,867; Division C", E. A.

The amount first reported by the teams was $1,534.39. The speakers present Director Barber, W. W. Webb, George Godfrey Moore and J. Will Kelley started out to raise the amount to an even $1,600. So enthu siastic were the students and faculty members that they didn't stop until the total was raised to $2,184.39. Washburn students were the guests of W. W. Webb and George Godfrey Moore at the baseball game this aft ernoon, these active workers having given out tickets at the meeting this morning. The work of the students in the campaign has been noteworthy. The students' division, consisting of three teams, has reported a total of $7. 615. The college division reported $7,122, and the high school team un der James Perry, which began work Monday has reported a total of $1,- 602. The high school students have "come through" for Washburn col lege in fine shape. W. J. V. Deacon, auditor for the campaign, has been putting in a lot of hard work, and should be given special credit- To Close the Largest April Business We Have Had in Five Years We Are Going to Make Prices for These 3 Days That Will Pay You to Visit Our Store Here's Just What You're Looking for in Lace Curtains DEATHS AND FUNERALS.

It will be then that the final effort will be made to boost the Washburn endowment fund to the $200,000 mark or better. The Army of the Blue 1,000 strong was "on the job" this morning, but a half hol iday was declared for this afternoon at the Friday rally because of the opening baseball game today. Here is the proclamation by J. E. House, mayor, declaring Wednesday "Washburn Day": "In honor of the institution of which Topeka is proud, and as a mark of appreciation from the city of the work of those who are assisting in raising the endowment fund, I hereby designate Wednesday, April 28. as Washburn Day and ask each citizen of Topeka to honor Washburn college in the way that pleases him most." Drive to Pleasant Ridge. The all-night auto drive through the mud from Richland recently did not dampen the enthusiasm of the Wash burn students, although it dampened their skins and bespattered their clothes. Even Frederick Courtenay Barber, director-general, who is au thority for the statement that the Kansas mud is the most "affectionate" brand on earth was "game" to go out on another trip in the interests of Washburn college. Monday night a party of twenty persons motored to Pleasant Ridge and put on another "pep" meeting, which resulted in sub scriptions amounting to $250 beins added to the fund. Richard Whitcomb presided. Talks were made by Director Barber, Prof. Frank De Beukelaer, Miss Helen Grif fin, Miss Margaret Webb and Dr. K! venor Ernest, who has been one of the leading organizers of the excur sions. A Washburn quartet added to tne interest of the meeting. Actors Recognized It. When the stars of "The New Hen rietta" at the Grand Monday night were called to the front to make brief talks, Maclyn Arbuckle, the sleek and well fed preacher, gave a boost for Washburn. "If this spirit you people snow tonignt is typical of Topeka." he said. "Washburn college will get her iuu,irou,'- ana he bowed amid thun derous applause. Washburn college students reported $1,507.49 in subscriptions at a rousintr rally this morning at 9 o'clock. Talks were made by Frederick Courtenay Barber, George U3odf rev Moore, nrpsi- dent of the Topeka Rotary club, and J. .Will Kelley, secretary of the To peka Commercial club.

The leading vaudeville booking agencies of the United States are made defendants in two Sherman law suits for $600,000 damages filed in the federal district court here today in which conspiracy is charged in their refusal to book cer tain acts and attractions offered them by the plaintiffs. The- surts were brought by Charles F. Bornhaupt, who maintains theatrical agencies in this city, London and Brussels, and Clifford C. Fischer, who has similar offices in London and Paris, against the United Booking Offices of Amer ica; the Central Vaudeville Promotion company; H. B. Marinelli, Limited, A. Paul Keith, Frederick F. Proctor, Edward F. Albe, John K. Murdock, Morris Meyerfeld, jr., and Martin Beck. The petitioners allege that they have suffered damages of $100,000 each, and under the Sherman law seek treble damages or $300,000 each. It is alleged that since the withdrawal some time ago of a $7,000,000 damage suit brought by the Marinelli company against the United Booking company and others the sole right, privilege and license to book foreign acts on the Keith or Orpheum circuit has been vested in the Marinelli concern. This company, it is charged, conspired with the other defendants in October and November, 1914, to injure the plaintiffs by refusing to book their acts. The United Booking offices have charge of the largest theaters in the United States. They operate largely in the bigger cities, aitnough they are affiliated with vaudeville circuits all over the country. Local vaudeville houses are not in any way concerned with the suit. s.eTlux as host. WANTED Delivery boy. Apply Dibble Grocry Co.. North sJde. LOST Brlndle bill! dog. Brass studded col J lar.

A Great Sale of One Lot Fine I i III 1 I Trimmed From $10 to $20 Half P I ice IpOPYRIGHTeO Wednesday and Thursday Because we have in stock an unusual number of the finer and more exclusive trimmed hats, we will reduce the number by offering $10.00 to $20.00 hats for two days at Half Price. This opportunity is given so much earlier in the season than customary, that it will be by far the most important ant millinery event this spring. The assortment includes large hats, pokes, small and large brim sailors, small and other good shapes in excellent variety, including black, sand and other fashohable colors. As the number is limited we suggest an early visit. The Mills Dry QJOCIETY Mrs. Clad Hamilton will entertain the members of the Ladies' Music club Wednesday afternoon at three o'clock, at her home. 138 Greenwood avenue, Fotwin Place.

Mrs. A. T. Lucas will be hostess at a meeting of the Friday Bridge Luncheon club Friday of this week. There is seldom an occasion that brings to our viflage a group of cele brities, when Topeka cannot connect up with the affair in some personal way. It comes to light this morning that one of the members of the cele brated Minneapolis Symphony Orches tra, which is giving a series of con certs in the auditorium, is a son of the famous artist. Charles Gruppe, whose pictures were recently shown in an exhibit held by the art department of the Topeka Federation. He is also the brother of a painter, who is a. personal friend of a Topeka artist, Mrs. Robert Coppedge. The man is the fair- haired, blue eyed, boying looking cellist of the or chestra. The Gruppe family has rather a remarkable record of furnish ing representatives in various careers through the fine arts. The elder Gruppe is an eminent landscape painter; one son, Emil Gruppe, is a painter also, who, though only eighteen years of age. has taken numerous prizes and won a good share of recog nition; another son, Karl, is a sculptor of ability. He is world-renowned, and has been engaged to furnish some of the sculptored pieces for the exposi tion in California. Paul Gruppe is the 'cellist; his mother was a singer,' and his young sister is preparing to be a harpist. The young musician this morning plunged out of the swimming tank at the Y. M. C. A., hurriedly dressed and came forth to answer questions asked by a reporter person. "The arts of painting and music." he said, "are more closely allied than people think. They both concern questions of proportion and harmony, except that the painter has visual models always before him, which somewhat simplifies his art. I have visited all the great art galleries and have practically lived in studios and artist colonies abroad, and I find that the painter and the musician have much in common." Mr. Gruppe received his musical education in Paris and Berlin. In speaking of the musical atmosphere fo much talked of as existing in Europe to so much greater degrees than in America, Mr. Gruppe said: "In America the people pay for their music, and they are willing to pay a good price for it. In Germany the government supports the artists and musical organizations. Wherefore, in this country the orchestras and solo ists are obliged to play well to get their audiences, on which depends their support. Moreover, they must meet the people half way, and if they play compositions difficult for the audience to understand and care for, for the sake of their musical merit, they must also play some of the things that the general public delight3 to hear." Mr. Gruppe spoke of the influx of musicians into this country on account of the war in Europe, and the diffi culty musicians in the east are find ing in making engagements. This is his first year with the Minneapolis organization, though he has played with a number of the best American orchestras and has played as a soloist in all the large cities of Europe and in many American cities. Feathers, wings, quills or ribbon pleatings are the favorites for hat trimmings thought flowers are seen on some smart hats. The close-fitting hat grows smaller as the skirts grow wider a complete reversal from the silhouette of last year. The hat above is of black Milan straw completely girdled by white ostrich feathers. Mrs. Charles Skinner is visiting friends in Wichita, and Monday she was the guest of honor at a buffet luncheon given by Mrs. Thor Jager. The affair is the first of a number of parties complimentary to Mrs. Skin ner. There was a game of bridge after the luncheon. The favors for honors were a rookwood vase and a hand some French print. Mr. and Mrs. Skinner, who lived in Wichita for a year or two, have re turned to Topeka to make their home, and Mrs. Skinner's visit to her former home is made the occasion of a meet ing with many old friends. The following account of a marriage which took place in Leavenworth will be of interest to friends of the bride groom, who lived in Topeka a number of years before going to Leavenworth: Simplicity marked the wedding, around which centered a great deal of interest, that of Miss Helen Jessie Smith and Rev. Robert King Pooley, rector of St. Paul's church, Episcopal, which Was celebrated at 10 o'clock Topeka 's One-Price Piano House a Quality Store Where You are Safe in Securing the Best at the Lowest Price The Superior Apollo TERMS TO SUIT.

The wedding music was played by Miss Edith Campion, who played a short program during the assembling of the guests, and played Lohengrin's wedding music as the bridal party en tered the church. Vases filled with bride's roses were placed on the altar and in the chancel, which with the altar' hanging of white and the light ed candles, gave a most beautiful effect. The bride wore her traveling suit, a beautiful suit of dark blue silk poplin. The jacket of the suit was richly trim med with silk braid and ball trim ming, and skirt of the suit was a pleated model. With her suit she wore a handsome blouse of white and biue chiffon, trimmed with crystal buttons, and her hat was a dark blue straw, with tiny rose trimmings.

12 THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL TUESDAY EVENING, APRIL 27, 1915. FIGHT ON BIRD LAW. Called Unconstitutional by Kansas U. S. Court Houston Says Not. Washington, D. C, April 27. Many of the press comments on tne decision of the United States district court, rendered March 20. at Topeka, Kan., holding that the federal migra tory bird law is unconstitutional, in the opinion of the department of ag riculture, are erroneous and are apt to mislead the public concerning the real situation in this matter. "The Kansas decision, like a former decision to the same effect in the eastern district of Arkansas, is limited in its operation solely to the district in which it was rendered," said Secre tary Houston to the correspondent of the Topeka State Journal. "Neither decision," he said, "settles or nullifies the law, and the exact con trary has been held by the United States district court for South Dakota. The Arkansas case has been appealed to, and is now pending in the United States supreme court. The act of con gress protecting migratory birds stands effective until the supreme court finally decides the question of its constitutionality. "In the meantime, it is incumbent on every law-abiding citizen to ob serve its provisions and the regula tions. It is the duty of the department to enforce this law, and the officials in charge will endeavor to do so as long as it is in force. Reports of vio lations will be carefully investigated, and when sufficient evidence is se cured they will be reported for prose cution. "In this connection it should not be forgotten that an offender against this, as in the case of other United States laws, is subjected to prosecu tion any time within three years from the date the offense is committed." SONS TIGHT WITH BRITISH. Wichita Couple Have Boy on English Destroyer Another In Frencli Army. Wichita, Kan.. April 27. When the new British torpedo destroyer "Calliope," which is said to be capable of covering 48 knots an hour, is placed in service, Cieorge E. Wallace, son of Mr. and Mrs. George Wallace, of Wichita, will be a member of the crew. Such was the information re ceived by his parents yesterday. Mr. Wallace was a member of the crew of H. M. S. Lord Nelson which was sunk in the Dardanelles. He, with seven others of the crew, however, had been recalled to London for assignment to the Calliope three weeks before the battle in which the Lord Nelson went down. Besides their son, George, Mr. and Mrs. Wallace, who came to Wichita less than six months ago, have an other son, James, two nephews and four cousins who are members of the allied army. James, who is nineteen, is now in France and a "field service" post card which the parents received Thursday stated that he had been in the trenches four days and nights. He had been sent to the rear to recuper ate. The card was mailed from Ar menteres, in the north of France. INSANE WARD GROWS. Truskett" Bill Believed Will Cause Increase of Insane Prisoners. Leavenworth, April 27. The crimi nal insane population at the state penitentiary at Lansing is increasing very rapidly and the present i insane ward has become so crowded that some of the insane prisoners have to be kept in the south cell wing. Offi cials, oo, believe that there will be a more rapid increase in the future as the result of the passage of the so called Truskett bill passed at the last legislature. The population was added to yes terday by the reception of Charles Vermillion from Wyandotte county This makes the population committed under the criminal insane act at the present time 26, the largest it has ever been since the law was enacted in 1911. Altogether there have been 32 committed by the courts to this hospital. Of this number three have been released, one died and one has escaped. SAYS HE IS KING'S SON. Spanish-American War Veteran Claims Edward VII as Father. Leavenworth, April 27. Harry Holden Colpus, veteran of the Spanish-American war and who claims to be legitimate son of the late King Ed ward of England and a half brother to the present King George, is now a member of the Soldiers' Home here and is continuing former persistent efforts to gain recognition from the authorities in Great Britain and to establish his kinship to royalty.

Manhattan, Kan., April 27. A real Indian powwow is to be held on the Pottawatomie Indian reservation in Jackson county April 26, 27, and 28. The purpose of the powwow is to de termine whether the Indians shall adopt progressive farming methods. Medicine Men A. S. Neale, H. J. Bower, George O. Greene, of the col lege extension division will be there to present the side of dairying, soils, crops, orcharding, and gardening. Preliminary powwows will be held on the farms of several of the Indians Monday and Tuesday. On Wednesday, at the Indian dance pavilion near the center of the reser vation, will be the big closing pow wow. In addition to the speakers from the extension division, F. A. Pomeroy, of Holton, chairman of the agricultural committee of the house of representatives, and W. D. Kuhn, of Holton, will give talks. There are about 70 Indian families on the reservation, an equal number of squaw men, and also a number of settlers who have rented land from the Indians.

Substitutes a Waltz for the Promised Virginia Reel. San Francisco, Cal., April 27. Con gressman Joseph G. Cannon, of Illi nois, kept a promise made five years ago by dancing a waltz in the New York state building at the Panama Pacific exposition. The former speak er is a member of the congressional party enroute to the Hawaiian islands. The promise was given at the time San Francisco and New Orleans were fighting for the possession of the ex position. Mr. Cannon, then speaker of the house, declared that if San Francisco should be selected as its site, he would visit the grounds and participate in a Virginia reel.
