When we know the facts we can begin not the dispensing of a little charity here and there, but a real program of service. "Are bread-winners out of employ ment? Maybe the class should oper ate an employment bureau or maybe It should Just co-operate with bureau already at work. On the other hand, spurious agencies may be fattening off of illegitimate fees we must find ways to eliminate them." The speaker went on to suggest that work may be done towards bettering Housing conditions, seeing to it that pure milk and other laws are passed, establishing meeting places "for men to counteract the influence of saloons, gambling dens, etc., doing charity work. etc. In closing he said: "It is the supreme opportunity and privilege of every class of men and women to make their class, their church, a community center, carefully studying the neighborhood conditions and going out in the Spirit of Jesus Christ to meet needs, to warm hearts, to inspire lives and to so uphold Him that he may draw all men unto him self." George G. Wallace, vice president In ternational Sunday School assocla- i tJnn 1 Adult school, 'Teen Age school and Klementary school, demonstrational conferences were held this morning at the First Methodist, the First Congre gational, and the First Presbyterian churches, respectively. Too Many Female Schools. Fred E. Gates, who spoke at the Auditorium late Tuesday declared that there are too many female Sunday schools in rural Kansas. A poll of the convention showed that 60 per cent of the delegates were from rural communities. The Kansas Sunday School associa- j tion was started at Atchison in 186B, and has been a paramount factor in promoting the growth of the churches in Kansas, according to Howard C. Rash of Salina, president, who gave a bit of interesting history. This Afternoon's Recital. This afternoon a pipe organ recital was given at 1 o'clock at the Audi- torium.

SHARP NOTE SOON FOR KAISER President to Ask Satisfaction for All Incidents. Action Is Delayed Until All Facts Are In. Washington, May 6. That Ameri ca's action in the matter of the Gulf light, Falaba and Frye and other ships attacked or supposed to have been at tacked by German war vessels is being watched by European neutrals with the most intense interest was apparent from state department developments today. Since the report of the disaster to the Gulflight reached this country, diplomats of two other neutrals have called at the department for "news of the incident, according to their own testimony, and have admitted that the administration's action was being re ported in detail to their governments. Other Neutrals Like U. S. Norway, Sweden and Holland, dip lomats say, are in much the same po sition toward Germany as is the Unit ed States, the three having suffered more or less from submarine attacks, Norway perhaps most heavily. It was believed that any action tak en in Washington would be followed by almost identical action by the other neutrals. Officials today pointed out one phase of the situation as not little commented on the practical immun ity enjoyed by Italian vessels. Sharp Note to Kaiser. Little doubt was expressed that the administration would shortly address a vigorous note to Germany reviewing the entire history of the kaiser's na val policy so far as it affected the United States and asking explanation of and satisfaction for all incidents which have Involved loss of American life or property. It was considered, however, that no step will be taken until full reports have been submitted from all sides, particularly concerning the Gulflight and the Cushing incidents. The de partment has already asked Germany for explanations on both matters and the American consul at Rotterdam has prepared a report on the .Cuehing bombardment, supposedly by a Ger man aviator. Thus far there has been no positive evidence that the Gulflight was "submarined." Inquest Over Gulflight Captain. Penzance, England, May 5. At the inquest today into the death of Cap tain Gunter of the American oil tank ship Gulflight, torpedoed May 1, the verdict reached was "heart failure accelerated by shock by the torpedo ing of the ship." Evidence at the in quest showed the Gulflight was flying a large American flag when she was torpedoed. Fired on Without Warning'. Washington, May 5. The Gulflight was torpedoed by a submarine with out warning as it followed in the wake of two British patrol boats, flying a large American ensign. This is stated in a message received at the state de department today from the office of the owners, the Gulf Refining com pany. The account rested on a state ment from Chief Officer Smith of the Gulflight and the consul, whose name was given as Banfield, an error, it is believed, in cable transmission, since no such name appears in the consular list TURKS IN FLIGHT Troops Under Khali Bey Are Hotly Pursued. Fear of Repetition of 1S95-96 Massacres Grows. Tiflis, May 5. (Via Petrograd) The pursuit of the defeated Turkish army under the command of Khali Bey in the Khorl-Dilman region of the Caucasus continues, according to trustworthy advices reaching Tiflis. This battle, which resulted in heavy losses for the Turks, began April 29 at Hantahta, near UrumUh. In the beginning the Russians stood off the Turks, but the latter received rein forcements and on April 30 the Rus sians abandoned .Dilman and en trenched themselves at Magonzhlo, the first village on the way to Khori From this position they pounded the Turks with their heavy artillery until the arrival of Russian reinforce ments. Three hundred refugees from Dilman have arrived at Julfa, just over the border In Russia, and 1,200 more are on their way. The Russian consul here is taking measures to pre vent refugees from Urumiah and Oil man entering the Caucasus Nersus. Eight hundred Turks and a large number of Kurds are active at Van, destroying Armenia villages. Of 300 inhabitants of the village of Rashva,' only three escaped. It is feared the history of 1895 and 1896 will be repeated. In these years reforms for Armenia were demanded after a series of Acts of oppression on the part of Turkey. The presentation of the demands by the states of Eu rope was followed by terrible massa cres of Armenians. U. S. CONSUL A SUICiOE Frederick Van Dyne Reported to Have I,eaped Into Sea. Naples, May 5.

Promised Sensation of A'ew Evidence Blows. Up. Roosevelt on Stand Late Today; Defense Rests Tomorrow. Syracuse,- May 5. Froth and foam of past and brewing political storms were thrown upon the tides of the Barnes-Roosevelt libel trial today. The morning session being devoted to the printing matters, Roosevelt's re appearance to give testimony excluded last week was postponed until late this afternoon. How the Albany Journal company, Barnes' newspaper, was paid large commisionss on' state, city and county printing contracts by the J. B. Lyon company, who performed the work, was told by Manager Charles Win chester of the latter. He insisted there was no wrong in paying such commissions.- stating it was a usual business custom. Winchester said he never knew of Barnes using his. political influence to get public printing work for the Lyon company when Barnes was a stock holder in it. That the Lyon company owned stock of Barnes's neyspaper corpora tion was also developed. It was a tame session. With Roosevelt on the stand most of the afternoon, it was impossible, the defense admitted, to rest its case before tomorrow. Just before the noon recess the promised sensation of the new corre spondence found in Boss Piatt's files between him and Roosevelt blew up. Barnes's attorneys produced 153 let ters, most of them written while Roosevelt was president but decided not to offer them as evidence. HER STOCKING LEAKED Woman Lost $958 Worth of Jewelry Out of It.

Under Sea Vessel of Newest Type Terror in North Sea. London, May 5. Nine trawlers is the bag credited to German subma rines on Monday of this week, in a message received here from Hull. In addition to the Iolanthe, the Hero and Northward Ho, the victims be longing in Hull include fhe Hector, Progress, Coquette and Bob White. The Rugby and the Bridge, owned in Grimsby, met similar fates. So far as known, no lives were lost in these en counters. According to the crews of the fish ing vessels, the submarine which wrought this damage is of the newest type. She has an iron cross painted on her conning tower. She ran among the fishing fleet on Monday and sank seven trawlers in quick succession. The crews were given time to escape, but in some cases the small boats drifted for hours before they were picked up. The trawler Hero attempted to es cape, but- after an exciting chase, which lasted an hour, the submarine got into close range and opened a fusillade with rifles, whereupon the skipper of the fisherman stopped and the crew took to the small boats. The trawler Portia has reached Hull after an exciting chase in which she managed to elude the submarine which was after her. Aberdeen, May 5.

Only in Gorllce did the Russians make a stand. This town was destroyed by an artillery bombardment and a bitter street fight preceded its capture by the Germans. "All the staff officers of one Russian division were killed or wounded. These Included several generals. The ma jority of prisoners wore military caps, but civilian clothing.

REWARD FOR PROOF Kansas City Election Commis sioner Offers to Pay 500 For Substantiation of Cap per's Charges Against Him. CHALLENGE THE GOVERNOR To Proceed With Promised In vestigation of His Office. He Is Backed Up by the Mayor of the. City. Governor Capper may wait two weeks before starting his probe of al leged election irregularities in Kansas City, Kan. It is possible that the gov ernor may stop in Kansas City a few hours Thursday on his return' from Pittsburg and talk over conditions with a few close advisers. He has not as yet discussed his evidence with S. M. Brewster, attorney general, accord ing to Brewster, who declared that he knew nothing concerning the gov ernor's charges. Following the sensational statement by Governor Capper to the effect that corruption in election affairs bad been k common practice in Kansas City, Kansas, and that Henry T. Zimmer, election commissioner, had guilty knowledge of conditions, Zimmer re plied with a sharp demand for a hear ing. Zimmer not only said that he was willing to have the' election charges investigated, but demanded an inves tigation and said that he would give $500 to any person who could give proof of fraud or irregularities in his ornce. Investigation of the "Wyandotte county case will be in the nature of a public hearing, the governor has de clared. He has stated that his evi dence will be turned over to the at torney general and an early hearing will be demanded. If the evidence shows law violations, officials of Wy andotte county will be expected to act, the governor stated. If they fail to prosecute the case, then the governor will direct the attorney general to bring actions. Criminal Prosecutions. In discussing the case. Governor Capper indicated clearly that criminal prosecutions would be filed. "The resignation of Zimmer is only an incident." he said. "It was not alone the things that Zimmer did. It was the things which he permitted to be done. Complaints have come to me concerning illegal registration and vot ing in the recent municipal election. Tet Zimmer was in Topeka lobbying to defeat a liquor bill when he should have been at home enforcing the law. "Information which I have received leads me to believe that there are sev eral men Democrats and Republi cans who are headed for the peni tentiary." said the governor in dis cussing the state's course in the elec tion cases. The governor declined to give names other than that of Zimmer against whom the state's fire may be directed. Asked today concerning his plans in the probe of alleged election frauds, S. M. Brewster, attorney general, said he knew nothing of the case. ."Ail i know is Buen comment as I have seen in the newspapers," said irairi. x nc 8nen.or iiaa iiol laus- ed to me about the case and I know nothing or nis plans. ..tuHK ni.rauKjuu. tne organization.

"I will give a reward of $500 to any per son who can show any fraud or irreg ularities in connection with my of fice." Mayor Green made a statement in similar tone. "I know of no irregularities in con nection with elections here and I wel come an investigation of the most sweeping character." was Mayor Green's comment. "I have received no complaint of fraud and will be glad tr see those which the governor an nounced he has received, sifted to the bottom." When the governor left Tuesday evening for Pittsburg, he did not state whether he would stop in Kansas City Thursday on his return to Topeka. It is believed that he may decide to stop for a short conference with advisers in Wyandotte county, CANAL- IN MINIATURE Instructive Representation of Panama Ditch on Exhibition. An ingenious arrangement for the dissemination of knowledge regarding Uncle Sam's greatest engineering en terprise, the Panama Canal, is in Mailed for exhibition this week on the second floor of Crosby Brothers' store. In a big room in the north end of the second floor of the store, has been placed a big, oblong tank of water. The part of the Isthmus through which the canal was dug. is repro duced in miniature- in stone. The big ditch from the Atlantic to the Pacific Is represented in this huge relief map in rock and water. Little boats, in the form of steamships are sent through the canal, and are used to assist in illustrating the lecture that is. given by the men in charge of the exhibit. An explanation of the transportation scheme of the canal, and something of its construction, is given by the lec turer. The boat route is marked out by lights along the way. The lights are tiny electric bulbs set on Iron standards, at intervals where the canal widens into lakes, and along the shores cf the narrower parts. A series of locks is represented, and the apparatus for their opening and closing is oper ated by some mechanism at the side of the tank. The towns along the sides of the ca nal are marked .by little groups of stone buildings. The dry docks at Balboa and the machine and repair shops are Indicated In the same way. The long breakwater, with its light house which is built out into the Pa cific waters, is faithfully represented in minute detail in the stone map in the tank. Visitors are admitted to the exhibi ton and lecture free of charge. The exhibit will be in the. store throughout the week, and the addresses are re peated at frequent intervals during the day. PIKE'S PEAK BY AUTO Scenic Road Highest of Kind In the W orld. Cascade. Colo., May 6. Actual con struction work commenced today on the Pike's Peak automobile road which" "will be one of America's most beautiful scenic drives, being the highest in the world for this class of travel. William Flick, the Denver contrac tor, has 150 teams and 250 men at work. It is believed that the work can be completed' for an opening on July 15. Articles of incorporation were filed at Denver last week, the incorporators being C. E. Noble, E. A. Sunderlin, C. N. Drew and Barton Hall. The capi tal stock is $200,000. The company has been organized with -Spencer Pen rose, A. E. Carlton, William A. Otis, F. M. P. Taylor and E. A. Sunderlin as directors. Delay in organizing has been caused by the opposition of the- forest bureau to granting the right-of-way for a toll road across a national for est reserve. This was finally accom plished and is the only toll road on a national forest excepting in the Yel lowstone park. Twenty carloads of construction ma chinery for this class of work will ar rive from California this week. The road starts from Cascade, and the dis tance is seventeen miles to the top of the famous peak. Camps will be es tablished at different points along the route. Surveys have been completed within about four miles from the top. The recent big snows, immense snow drifts and intense cold at so high an altitude have caused delay. An equipment of twelve modern cars has been purchased. Relay stations, lodges and tourist conveniences will be established. A toll will be charged for automobiles privately owned. Cascade is in Ute Pass, four and a half miles from Manitou and eleven miles from Colorado Springs. KANSAS MEDICAL MEN Forty-Ninth Annual Convention Kansas City.

L'ORAHN'S CAPITAL SHIRT FACTORY 624 KANSAS AVE Exclusive Local Dealers "STAYOFAPS" Governor Capper Advises Against Life in Cities. "Foolish Girls Fall Prey to the i Lust of Men." EIGHT YEARS OF SCHOOLING That's Enough for Child Make Way in World. to Every One Shonld Be,. Trained to Do One Thing Well. Cherokee, Kan., May 5. An appeal to the graduates of "the Crawford county common schools to stay on the farms of Kansas and an emphatic declaration in favor of vocational training featured the address of Gov ernor Arthur Capper of Kansas, at the commencement exercises here this afternoon. "Competition is high in the great cities and living and working condi tions far from ideal," the governor said. "We read in the newspapers day after day of separations and divorces and fights in the cities, of arrests for drunkenness and murders resulting from drink. We read of poverty in the slums where children swarm, and of the vulgar display and extravagant follies of the rich. We read of the great need of charity for poverty that is the result of misfortune or of vice. We read of strikes and lockouts, of the oppression of labor by capital, of great combinations of wealth to op press the weak and the poor. We see the foolish girls, both in country and town, who caught by the glitter of the city, flock on its streets, often, very often to fall prey to the lust of men who glory in their shame. "When we think of all this in the great cities, can we doubt for a mo ment that the clean, wholesome life of the Kansas country folk of the Kansas country towns is by far the happiest, the 'most useful life? We must do everything possible to keep the best brains of the nation where the best brains originate on the farm. They'll not be wasted there." On Education, Turning to education the governor said: '"I hold that it is the right of every boy and girl in every Kansas com munity to have guaranteed to them some form of education and training which will contribute to self support. True education is teaching the youth to handle himself in every situation of life especially in emergencies and to get the most possible out of life. f upns come rrom our schools with a superficial knowledge about a lot of things, but no accurate knowledge about anything. I believe every boy and girl should be trained in school to do some one thing Buperbly well. We should devote more time to the common branches and the things in life that are of importance to people who work with their hands, "After eight years schooling every parent has a right to expect that the state has given his child an education that will enable him to make -hia way in the world. When it fails to de this, as X think it does 1 now. it is-otime to remedy the fault, or faults." BOOSTERS AT DOVER Topeka Men Talk Baseball and Free State Fair. A party of State Fair boosters went to Dover last night to talk baseball and to boost the free gate proposition which comes up Saturday, May 15. J. Will Kelley, secretary of the Com mercial club, addressed the meeting held for the purpose of raising money for the Dover baseball team. The To peka delegation was composed of Samuel E. Lux, J. Will Kelley, Oscar Swayze, Charles Barnes, and Charles Stoddard. In his talk Mr. Kelley told of the proposed county baseball tournament to be held at the fair this fall. Ac cording to the plan, teams from all over Shawn?e county will compete for prizes, and there will probably be a series for outside teams. He also gave a short explanation of the free gate idea. Dover is an enthusiastic base ball town and has a strong team un der the management of Lew Hond. It is proposed to give several sub stantial cash prizes in the base ball contest and the merchants of Topeka wili also probably give prizes as they do for the opening Western league game every season. "This fair will be tho biggest ever held at Topeka." said Mr. Kelley, "and it will receive great impetus if thlsr free gate proposition carries." Lew Bond, manager of the Dover ball team, was master of ceremonies. Captain H. M. Phillips introduced Mr. Kelley and also made a short talk. "Creamery" Bowles was the other lo cal speaker. A pie auction was held for the benefit of the ball team. Sam Lux and Will Kelley yielded to the wiles of the auctioneer and obtained pies at one dollar each. The trip was made in Charles Barnes' Cadillac Eight. The meeting was held in Snyder's hall. SLAYER-WIFE IN JAIL. Mrs. Clara T. Sclrwelger Is Held With out Bond. Kansas City. May 5. Mrs. Clara -T.

OUT OFJALANCE Many Feel That Scales of Jus tice Need Fixing. Mnch Indignation Expressed Over Suspension of Hannon. Patrolman George Hannon, against wnom a complaint of assault was filed in the court of Topeka Tuesday after noon by John F. Travis, was arraigned before Douglas Graham, clerk, this morning and the preliminary hearing of the charges was set for tomorrow morning at 9 o'clock before Judge Hugii Jp'isher. Travis is employed by a local trans fer company. He claims that Hannon drew a gun on him and ordered him to get down on his hands and kneesand crawl and afterwards ordered him to get up on his toes and walk like spider. Following the complaint Chief Par sons stated that Hannon would be dis charged from the force. However, the patrolman was only suspended pend ing the outcome of the trial. Hannon was appointed by the Cofran admin istratlon two years ago. Men prominent in Topeka business. professional and social circles today sent up a howl of indignation when Hannon was suspended for defending the sanctity of his own home. Han non was dropped by Chief Parsons un der orders from Mayor House. "Te gods! What brand of justice is House giving us? asked George A. Clark, former secretary of state, who read today of Hannon's dismissal from service "pending investigation." "Does House mean to assert that Hannon cannot defend the sanctity of his own home without losing his job? Does he mean that Hannon was appointed only to look after the peace and quiet of his neighbors and cannot enjoy the privileges of any other citizen simply because he happens to be a peace of ficer and wears a uniform? I wish some one would explain this method of reasoning that means Hannon can not defend his own home as he would defend the homes of other Topekans." Hannon is regarded as one of the bravest men on the local force. It is recalled that he was a guard at the state prison during the Stanley admin istration and with three other men went into the prison mine and put down an insurrection that threatened the lives of prison officials. PLACES BAN ON LAND COMPANIES CCoTitlnTied from pag One. J lands. Caldwell is vice president of the Palmdale Land company. At the conclusion of the inquiry by .Brewster, the land company representative was told that business in Kansas would be suspended for thirty days and that he might return in.fJune for a final decision. Recently a deputy of the state bank ing department looked over the rec ords of the Florida company. His re port was to the effectthat the concern had 37,000 acres of land, which car ried an original valuation of $6 an acre. Divided into town lots and acre tracts, the land is being sold at from $30 to $60 an acre," the examiner re ported. 3 .S.T It'Tn For Salaries and Commissions. The report also went into the mat ter of salaries and commissions. It showed that $129,275 had been paid for these purposes. Of this amount, $44,078 was disbursed for salaries, while $85,197 was paid in commis sions. Caldwell told the bop.rd that in view of the expense of handling the project, he did not believe $10 an acre was an excessive commission. Then Brewster asked about improvements which had suddenly increased the val ue of tho land from $6 to $60 an acre. Caldwell tola aoout ouiioing a $6,000 hotel, the expense of surveys and drainage. More Time for It. But the board wants more time in which to look into the matter. They will take up the case at the June meeting. The examiner's report urged a special audit or tne company s books, communication with federal authorities and investigators and that the application for a renewal of the company's permit under the blue sky law, be held up indefinitely. The Zimmerman company was rep resented by W. F. Farren. He said his company had 22,000 acres of Texas land, which had cost $10 to $20 an acre and was being disposed of at $80 an acre, with irrigation rights. Far ren admitted that the company's book keeping system was not the very best and the board told the company's rep resentative to suspend operations in Kansas for thirty days and return in June for final decision.

BY"CLUG' SAVAGESJT TOP Tuesday's Victory Puts Topeka in First Place Again. Xew Outfielder From Emporia Makes a Good Showing. By the score of 5 to 2. the Savages defeated Lincoln again Tuesday after noon and thereby climbed to a neck and neck position with Omaha in the race for the league leadership. There were no evidences of the er ratic" baseball that marked the play ing of Sunday s game and caused the loss of Monday's. Every player work ed like he was trying to hold his job and give the boss an honest run for his money. There was life where the day before there had been no signs of it. And there was pep, enthusiasm and persistence, three sterling quali ties in any athletic endeavor. Lefty Train-ir he bats lefthanded but throws with his right upper ex tremity played a great game for his initial appearance in fast company. Trainer was bought by Savasre from the Emporia State league club Tues day morning and was put in the out iield in Zick Tallion's place. Some Batter. The second man up in the first in ning, it was to be expected that he would be a bit nervous and weak kneed.

Double play Hartford to among the fans, and many thought It only luck. However, when Trainer came to bat as the first man up in the third and connected with a 3-bag-ger, everyone gave him the glad hand and admitted that he assayed rich. Trainer was given only two chances in the field, but he handled both well, and made a spectacular catch of the last one. Dashner. the Animal pitcher who holds the world's record as a eontor tionistic twirler, served a brand of ball that would have made any club In the league look easy. In the nine Innings he struck out nine men, al lowed only four walks and seven hits. Tha seven hits were scattered over six innings, and it was only in the two hit, session that the Tigers scored. This was in the fifth. Herr Ehman got to first on Rapps' error. McGaf figan singled to short and Williams connected with a 2-bagger. scoring both Ehman and Williams. From that on until the last easy out to Latti more, Mclntyre's men had about as much chance of scoring as they will have of climbing to the top of the league today. h Savages Score Early. The Savages got three of their runs out of their systems in the Tirst turn at bat. Trainer, the second man up, pushed out a two sacker. Jackson popped to McGaffigan at short, but Mayer hit like a brother to Trainer and scored him on a double. Rapps was awarded first on McGaffigan's error and Lattimore doubled, scoring both Maver and Rapps. Again in the third. Trainer started the ball to rolling with his aforemen tioned three sacker. Jackson hit a fly deep into Mclntyre's right field and Trainer scored on the throw in. The last Savage score was counted in the sixth and was the result of an error, a sacrifice and two singles. Rapps again negotiated first on Williams' error. Lattimore advanced him to second. Red Roche hit a single that put him on third, and Monroe drove him home.

WITH BIG PLUM IN SIGHT. Jim Coffey and Al. Reich Fight for Chance at Willard. New York, May 5. Prospects that the winner might eventually obtain a match with Jess Willard, the cham pion, lent more than usual interest to the t-n round boxing bout of Jim Coffey and Al. Reich in Madison Square Garden tonight Today Coffey was a favorite in the betting, with odds of 5 to 4 instead of 2 to 1 given when the match was made. The men have never before met in the ring. Coffey has fought 38 battles and scored 24 knockouts. Charlie White in Old Form. Boston. Mass., May 5. Charlie White, of Chicago, knocked out Eddie Murphy, of this city, in the seventh round of a scheduled twelve-round ibout. The men are lightweights. The decision was a technical one, being Idue directly to the invasion of the" ring by Murphy's brother after the Boston fighter had been floored four times. Jack Dillon Scores a Knockout. Lexington, Ky., May 5. Jack Dil lon, of Indianapolis, knocked out An drew Anderson, of Chicago,- in the fifth round of a scheduled ten round bout here Tuesday. Anderson had the best of the fight up to the time the knockout blow was delivered bv Dillon. All of ua think we have hard jobs. But just suppose we had to earn our eats umpiring baseball games! Tuesday Umpire Parent was panned by both Manager Jackson "and Mana ger Mclntyre. He was a little off on his decisions, but was right there with the patience like most umpires usually are. Apparently he paid no attention to either manager, but kept on calling them to the best of his ability. Undoubtedly, there are some urn pirea who are not what they ought to be when it comes to fairness. But a man who is able to wear the mask very long at a time is usually above the average and has sense enough to know that honesty is the only policy that pays. lo be a successful umpire, a man must be able to take a lot of rough talk, he has to realize that the play ers sometimes say things they do not mean and he has to make up his mind to take a panning from every one who wants to pan him. Being a step-son a hen-pecked husband and having soft corns all at the same time is nothing when compared with the miseries a ball official sometimes has to endure, The. Savages will not entertain the nome rans again until May 13, when they begin a four game series with Wichita here. A four game series was started m Lincoln this afternoon. Sun day the team will begin its first Den ver engagement. After playing here on the 13, 14, 15 and 16, the team will be away until June 5. &emiment is playing no part in Manager Jackson's selection of his players this season. Business first is his motto. And the business asset that counts with him is the ability of player to play Western league ball consistently. Spurting phenoms are not looked upon with favor, 'and past recoras are as wortniess as counter feit money in a mint. In the face of the fact that he holds the tail end championship. Manager Mclntyre has confidence in his Lin- coin, team. After the Savages had made the Tigers look like chewed jungle meat, Mclntyre was still un shaken in his confidence. "I still be lieve we have a better team than To peka," he said, "and I am confident the future wilt demonstrate that I am right." t a As a matter of fact, Lincoln does seem to have a better team than the game records indicate. The talent is there, the brains and experience are there, but a loose screw somewhere keeps the team down. However, if every player had the confidence, the ability and the gameness of Mcln tyre, it would be a rnightv hard 1ob to keep Lincoln in the cellar very long at a time. Paul Des Jardien, the famous all round athlete, is said to have accent ed the terms of the Chicago National league club, the signing of his con tract to take place Immediately after he graduates in June. Des Jardien Is a big, powerful chap, with plenty of speed, and may be developed into a nign-class twirler. TV-- Clarence Rowland, new manager of ine umcago White -Sox, ia of the hus tling, fighting aggressive type that us ually succeeds. Hughie Jennings is cast alter that mold; so is Clark Grif fith; so is Bill Carrigan. Jennings and Griffith are noiser than Rowland, but members of the Chicago team aver that no one fights harder for victories than this man from Peoria and no one "crabs less in defeat." After Jim Coffey, the Irish cham pion, meets Al Reich. the former amateur heavyweight -champion, in a ten-round bout in New York on May 5, he will make a theatrical tour of the United States under the manage ment of Billy Gibson. It is the inten tion of Gibson to trail Willard in the circuit and to stage Coffey at rival nouses in each city. At each nlare Gibson will challenge Willard to a match for the championship. By this method Gibson hopes to force Willard into a bout with Coffey. Every effort- will be madp to lter the City league strictly in the non-pro class. President Snyder announces that if it is found that anv Dlaver is receiving compensation in any man ner, shape or form his manager will De tinea siu. If the offense is re peated, his club will be put out of the league and the deposit money will be forfeited. Uncle Walt Mason is a Drettv eond sport. Before the big Havana fight Uncle Walt felt the prod of the poet's inspiration and took it uenn bimsolf to tell the world what a boob and cheap fluke Jess Willard was. He did the. thing twice running in his "Rip pling Rhymes." However. 1 ast "Mon day he did the square thing by dedi cating a rhyme to Willard anrl hv singing the praise of the "Bold Far mer Boy" therein. Larry Lejeune to Sioux City." Pittsburg, Pa., May 6.

Senator J. W. Howe, secretary of the state board of control, although not a delegate to the Sunday school conven tion, is an active Sunday school man. Until his coming to Topeka to assume his duties as secretary of the board of control he taught a large class of boys in the Presbyterian church at Abilene. At non today several special lunch eons, were held as follows: County presidents, secretaries and treasurers county missionary superintendents at the Y. W. C. A.: county training, tem perance ana nome department super- inienaenis at tne r irsi wnnsuau church. The demonstration meetings at three of the large down town churches were attended by capacity crowds. In fact many persons were turned away who arrived late, especially from the First Congregational church. Floyd Flanagan, assistant patrol leader of Boy Scout Troop No. 3, had his foot crushed in one of the swing ing doors on the first floor of the state house Tuesday night. Although no bones were broken he was unable to walk today. OVERSTOCKED Till stock is reduced we offer you the best designs and highest grade materials in Monuments, at prices never be fore made in the city. C. W. GUILD Between Santa Fe and Missouri Pacific Depots Fare Refunded to Out-of-Town Customers. Arthur A. Graham will be in charge i of the Boy Scouts in the pageant at the Auditorium tonight. The Scouts will give demonstrations on first aid to the injured. Several of the International Tour speakers will be at the meeting to night at the First Baptist church. The Rev. A. E. Wagner of Gettysburg, Pa., will not speak. He telegraphed that he couldn't be present at the conven tion. Robert Stone, was called out of town and will not preside at the meet ing. The convention headquarters, on the first floor of the state house are the best adapted to the needs of the as sociation, of any headquarters in the history of the Sunday school conven tions in Topeka. There is ample room for the registration work, the special displays by publishing houses and the special accommodations for the vis itors postpffice, rest rooms, etc. The street railway company has taken care of the Boy Scouts "on the job" since the convention began, de manding no car fare. A large number of, the stores along Kansas avenue are decorated in hon or of the thousands of delegates in at tendance at the convention. The street car poles still bear the Washburn col ors. A delegation of one hundred per sons from Smith county is in attend ance at the convention. Many visitors have been escorted to the dome of the state house by Boy Scouts. There J. H. Fazel, scout com missioner, has provided a telescope and a field glass for the benefit of the delegates. A delegation of 200 persons arrived this morning from Jackson county. The Jackson county chorus -of 100 voices will give a sacred concert on the state house steps this evening at 5 o'clock. The Rev. D. Swart Is the director. The street railway company furnished a special train today at noon to take the chorus to the Santa Fe shops where a concert was given. Taking three churches by surprise in the midst or their denominational rallies Tuesday night, the" T. M. C. A. International quartet paid calls and went on for a .couple of numbers at each place. They sang first, "Remem ber. Xow, Thy Creator," which was well received. As an encore they sang in southern darky dialect "And-Der- Am-a-Rest for the Weary. The churches visited were those to which one or more of the members of the quartet belonged, the Methodist, Presbyterian and Congregational. C. M. Keeler, baritone of the Inter national quartet, is training a chorus of 600 Sunday school scholars for a big May music festival at his home, Minneapolis, on May 13. A rehearsal of the chorus prevented his being here until 8 o clock last night. C. H. Nichols, general secretary of the Oklahoma Sunday School associa tion, here for the convention, thinks the present meeting one of the great est of its kind. He is more than pleased with the attendance and the spirit of the gathering. The fact that the International tour party makes stops at Wichita and Hutchinson on its present tour of the western states, is believed to be re sponsible for the comparatively small attendance from those cities. Neither of the cities mentioned is represented by delegations in keeping with its size and importance in Sunday school work. From 500 to 1.000 delegates, from present indications, will have come and gone without registering. Regis tration officials are very sorry for this situation, as everyone connected with the convention desires the registration of every delegate present. In some cases it has been merely carelessness. In others apparently a timidity. All delegates are being urged to register. The Boy Scouts who are serving as guides are receiving no salary for, their work. What money the dele gates give them constitutes their pay. Boy Scouts are not allowed to take tips, but these free will offerings are not considered such. Several boys who have worked two days have re ceived no more than 20 cents for their work. The highest amount made by r.ny boy is $2.50. H. W. Bomgardner, chairman of the local committee on arrangements, is deserving of special praise. He has been working tirelessly with a view to accommodating the visitors. George E. Dougherty in charge of the regis tration also has a big job, and he has been methodical. SNAP SHOTS AT HOME NEW 81 DOWJT TO PRACTICAL. LIFE.

A. Way mire and owned by E. Scrinopski. There was only one entrance by which the firemen could reach the fire. Trash was burning and the smoke was suffocating and blinding. It was extinguished with only slight loss. The damage from water exceeded the fire loss. CONGRESS 'BONE HEAD Topeka Federal Employees Laid Off No Money Voted for Tbem. Word has been received by federal au thorities id Topeka that every member of the custodian's staff here must be laid off for eight days between now and July 1. This order was issued by Acting Secretary Newton of the. treasury. According to Postmaster Rigby, who is also custodian of the federal building, the order affects 80S federal buildings through out the country. The cause of it is that congress did not appropriate the full amount for the payrolls. More than 4,500 employees will be affected and orders to the supervisory officials make clear that no departure from it will be countenanced. There are eight employees of the federal building here who will be laid off for eight days between now and July. Some of tbem are taking that time or a part of it now. Postmaster Kigby has given them the choice of taking the time any way they want in as many different times as are de sired Temporary AuerbacftSGuetle. SpeST,H8ilue Location Wi.

He walked oat of each of the other stores when they began rotting- down tne price to Induce him to buy. He could bave no confidence in a dealer who would ask him $350 for a piano and then scale the price down to 2M. At the Jenkins store he found one price and absolutely no deviation from It. That's fair dealing no other method can be, and fairness besets conftdenre. The whole strenuous effort of the Jenkins store Is to deserve the confidence of the public this belief and reliance in the Jenkins plan Is an asset of mora value many times over than any results that could come from sales based on slippery methods.
