On account of a cyclone at Onaga last night, communication between Topeka and that point was broken all day today. The Union Pacific reports a few meager details on the cyclone. Many houses were blown down, en tailing a heavy property loss. Several persons were killed, but their number cannot even be estimated. Telephone and telegraph wires were blown down over the Union Pacific track and today BRYAN'S SERIAL STORY Onaga is isolated from the rest of the world. The Cnion Pacific reports that the storm was especially severe east of Onaga. John Burgess, a farmer and four members of his family were kill ed, and two others seriously injured, according to the reports. The Union Pacific motor car is held up at Onaga. The conducter had to walk ten miles before he could find a telephone in working order so he could inform Topeka of the situation. On' the Junction City, the Man hattan and the Topeka branches the Union Pacific track has been washed away. This afternoon a new trouble was discovered at Belvue, whers a creek overflowed and made It impossible for the trains' to go through on the main line. The water is over the tracks at that point.

To Dispute Claim American Trade Has Suffered. REDFIELD TABLES BOOMERANG? British to Pull Great Trade Bal ance on Uncle Sam. Washington to Deem Answer Irrelevant and Unsatisfactory. BY JOHX EmVTX KEVIN. Washington, June 18. England hopes to "beat the United States to it" in her reply to the American protest against the order in council. With the announcement that an an swer is being prepared to the Ameri can message of March 30 comes the intimation that England hopes to dis- -pjushncM, pute any claim that American trade has suffered, by citing some of Com merce Secretary Redfield's figures. To Vse Trade Balance. These figures showing the trade balance since the war began will be used by the British foreign office to show that while the trade with Ger many has completely stopped, ex ports to the countries contiguous to Teutonic territory are so large that there can be no doubt that much of the goods ultimately reached Ger many. Although this government has been told that the British reply is being prepared, there is as yet no admission as to when it would be forwarded. It is considered certain, however, that its representations will be unsatisfac tory to the administration. Not to the Point. The president has decided that com plete figures be prepared by the state department, showing just what car goes have been held up by the British and French. In addition. he will maintain that whether American trade has gained or lost is not the point at issue. What he will insist on is that Amer ica's rights to freedom of the seas, whether in freight or passengers, be recognized. JUNE 18 IN C S. HISTORY.

STATE VIOLATES HER OWN LAWS Operates an Unsafe, Unsanitary and Dangerous Mine After Closing an Adjoining One in a Better Condition. IT HAS EXISTED FOR YEARS Present Situation Dates Back Thru Several Administrations. Money for Betterment Denied by the Legislatures. Another case of the state's enforcing a law against a private corporation and knowingly violating that law Itself may come to light in the investigation of charges that the state penitentiary coal mine is unsafe, unsanitary, dan gerous and Improperly operated. Re ports from Leavenworth indicate that a mine adjoining the penitentiary plant was forced by the state to shut down under the mining act, while the state mine, claimed to have been In far worse condition, was kept open. Charges that the prison mine is unsafe, have aroused officials at the Lansing penitentiary. They have also occasioned much comment among Leavenworth business men. Now they recall the action of the state in forc ing the closing of a mine adjoining the state's property while the state continued to operate its own plant in violation of the law under which the private mine was closed. According to statements from Leav enworth business men, condition of the prison mine js much the same as was touna unaer tne uooaing, me Haskell, the Jewett and even the Tomlinson administration. Many of the timbers placed in the mine have seen years of service and the various Kansas legislatures have failed to make appropriations for betterments. In fact in the last two years, more new and modern machinery has been installed in the mine than at any time In ten years, according to statements (Continued from page Two. TALKED TOO MUCH Hornbaker Told of Relations With Mrs. MeElheny. State Tries to Establish Xftn,oi Shooting. Paola, June 18. The first disin terested testimony that there was feel ing of real devotion between Roscoe Hornbaker and Mrs. Maude MeElheny was given today by Mrs. Zelda Lewis, former clerk in the Louisburg post office, in the Hornbaker murder trial. The witness testified at the prelim inary hearing as Miss Zelda Crossley. but since has married. Airs. Lewis said Hornbaker fre quently spoke of Mrs. MeElheny in complimentary terms. The witness said Hornbaker showed her a letter addressed in endearing terms which he said was from Mrs. MeElheny. These events she said were about a year before the tragedy. She admitted she entertained a feeling of ill will against Hornbaker and that except for Hornbaker's remnrk3 ehe never knew of wrong relations be tween him and Mrs. MeElheny. Only a few spectator-.! were on hand today when the trial of Roscoe Horn baker was resumed. Attorneys for the state said they expected to con clude their case before night. The de fense plans to place Hornbaker on the stand as soon as the state's testi mony is in. Overheard Phone Call. Airs. Alamie E. Marley, formerly a teacher :n the Louisburg schools testi fied to overhearing a telephone con versation between Hornbaker and Mrs. MeElheny when the line to her residence was crossed with that lead ing to the MeElheny home. She testified that Hornbaker told Mrs. MeElheny that he was going to the country that day and wanted to see her before he went. He told her to send the children away. On her repeated remonstrance he finally said: "I'll be down there in fifteen or twenty minutes. Have the children away when I arrive," Mrs. Marley testified. Mrs. Marley said she heard the click of a receiver followed by the man's repeated "Hello," with an exclamation the other receiver was clicked. Mrs. Marley said she had often heard the same voices over the wire but credited them to a pair of children in an advanced stage of infatuation. C. H. Crossley. night station agent at Louisburg, testified that soon after the murder, Hornbaker remarked to him that he believed they were trying to connect him (Hornbaker) with the murder. Crossley said he attached no significance to the remark at the time. David Wilson testified that he and Hornbaker sat up all night with the body of the slain man the night of the murder and Hornbaker left the house to get some oil for a stove. He said he noticed the next morning that the tub, placed over the supposed tracks of the murderer had been removed. L. C. Boyle, of Hornbaker's defense. asked what became of the tracks of the man who overturned the tub and removed the supposed murderer's tracks. It had occurred to no one to look. was the testimony. Time of Murder Puzzles State. The hour of the shooting of George MeElheny, former Louis burg postmaster, with whose mur der Roscoe Hornbaker is charged, was the problem which the state sought to solve in the minds of the jury at the afternoon session of Hornbaker's trial here Thursday. Edgar Hand, night telephone operator at Louisburg, testified that Mrs. Me Elheny called for Dr. J. W. Kelly at about 10 o'clock. After this learning of the tragedy the operator after put ting through the call to Dr. Kelly, answered an inquiry concerning the sound of the shotgun, called his own home and then called Hornbaker's home. The latter answered the telephone BRYAN URGES MEDIATION AS "THEJVAY OUT" Asks Universal Extension of His Peace Treaty Flan. Only Hope Lies, In Conference of Belligerents. TIME TO HEAL ALL WOUNDS Jfeutrals Must Crystallize Sen timent In Coerciye Force. Former Secretary in Final State ment on "Causeless "War." Washington, June 18. Former Sec retary of State W. J. Bryan, in the third and concluding section of hi statement on "The Causeless War," issued today, suggests mediation a "the way out." As a preventive of war, Mr. Bryan proposes universal ex tension of his investigation commis sion peace treaty plan. "Mediation," the former secretary says, "is the means provided by Inter national agreement through which the belligerent nations can be brought lnt conference; time for Investigation of all disputes is the means by which fu ture wars can be averted, and the cul tivation of international friendship Is the means by which the desires for war can be rooted out." A Coercive Force. In elaborating his plan for restora tion of peace, Mr. Bryan urges: That neutral nations, in advo cating peace, crystallize sentiment in favor of peace into a coercive force, and offer mediation Jointly, or severally. That the warring nations Join in a treaty to provide for investi gation by a permanent Interna tional commission of every dispute that may arise, no matter what Its character or nature. That a world-wide educational movement to cultivate a spirit of brotherhood among the nations be undertaken as the final task of advocates of peace. Extermination Impossible. "Great nations cannot be exter minated," says Mr. Bryan. "Predic tions made at the beginning of the war have not been fulfilled. The Brit ish did not destroy the German fleet in a month; Germany did not take Paris in two months: and the Russian army did not eat Christmas dinner In Berlin. "But even if extermination were possible. It would be a crime against' civilization, which no nation or group of nations could afford to commit" Ieaoe Wlicn Ready. Mr. Bryan continues: "When can peace be restored? Any time now, if the participants are really weary of this war and ready for It to end. If any nation is not ready, let its ruler state in clear, distinct and definite terms the conditions upon which it is willing to agree to peace: then if an agreement is not reached, blame for continuance of the war will be upon those who make unusual de mands." In proposing mediation, the former secretary points out that The Hague convention expressly declares an of- ter or mediation shall not be consid ered an unfriendly act and adds: No Time for Ceremony. "The duty of offering mediation may seem to rest primarily upon the United States, the largest neutral na tion and the one most intimately hound by ties of blood to nil the bel ligerents. The United States did make an offer immediately after the war began, but why not again and again. until our offer or some other offer is accepted But our action or failure need not deter any other neutral nation from acting. This not a time to stand on ceremony. If any other country for any reason, no matter what the Tea son may be, is in a better position than we to tender its good offices. It should not delay a moment." To assure permanent peace, Mr. Bryan urges that his plan of investiga tion treaties be adopted by the war ring nations. A treaty such as those which now protect the peace of the United States. he says, wo-.ild give a year s time for investigation and report; and who doubts a year's time would he suffi cient to reach an amicable solution of almost every difficulty? Does any one suppose that the present war would have been begun if a years time had been taken to investigate the dispute between Austria and Serbia?" BASEBALL TODAY. AMERICAN ASSOCIATION.

The operator also testified that, be fore the shooting, he had noticed fre quent telephone calls between the Me Elheny and Hornbaker homes. The conversations lasted longer when Me Elheny was away from home, said Hand. Frank Wilson, a young farmer, testified that on the night of the murder he saw Hornbaker going in a direction leading away from the Me Elheny home between 9:15 and 9:30 o'clock. Anderson Borders, a mail carrier, testified that in a conversation con cerning the murder Hornbaker had told him he had not reached home when the alarm was given but heard screaming and went to the MeElheny home. Numerous witnesses for the state today described the scene at the MeElheny home immediately after the shooting.

2 THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL FRIDAY EVENING. JtJNF 18,1915. IN CHILDLIKE FAITH Tse-Xe-Gat Puts His Trust in General Scott. Indian Lad Pleads ot Guilty in Sheep Herder Murder. U. S. DEFENDER; PROSECUTOR Indian Bureau Fights for Inter ests of Its "Ward. Slender Youth to Face Un friendly Utes. Denver, Colo., June 18. Tse-Ne-Gat, a slender Indian youth of 21 years, with the eyes of a child, has pleaded not guilty in the federal district court to the charge of murdering: Juan Chacon, Mexican Bheep herder, a year ago, in south western Colorado. Trial was set for July 6. It was the charge of murder against Tse-Ne-Gat that sent a marshal's posse to Bluff, Utah, to arrest Tse-Ne-Gat, who. surrounded by renegade Piutes. led by Old Polk, his father, re fused to submit to arrest and engaged In a running fight for several weeks last winter a fight ended by surren der to General Hugh L. Scott, chief of staff of the United States army. Tse-Ne-Gat, who has been a federal prisoner In a local hospital under treatment for advanced tuberculosis, inquired eagerly today for "John Scott," otherwise General Scott, who, he believes, will aid him in his trial. Utes Against Youth. Picturesque Ute Indians are wit nesses against Tse-Ne-Gat. Uncle Sam is both prosecutor and defender of this typical "child of the wilderness." As a ward of the gov ernment it is the duty of the Indian bureau to look after his interests. In keeping with the promise of fair treat ment made to the Piutes by Brigadier General Hugh L. Scott, who single handedly settled the Piute uprising, there was a distinct feeling around the federal building today that Tse-Ne-Gat, or Tse-Quit, ultimately will be freed. The Indian entered court clad In overalls, an old shirt, with an In dian blanket wrapped around his body below the waist. When the time comes for Tse-Ne-Gat to testify in his own defense, he will mount the witness stand and probably say: "Juan Chacon, Mexicano, he my friend. Maybeso he dead me not know. Me get from him cigarette. Me no kill my friend." Tse-Ne-Gat s English is very limit ed. He neither understands the lan guage well nor can he speak it. An Indian interpreter from the TJte tribe probably will be called upon to aid the authorities. But there is one word Tse-Ne-Gat understands. It is "friend." The way he says, "Me no kill my friend," and the way Tse-Ne-Gat speaks of Gen eral Scott as "my friend," puts new life into the word. t His Story of Uprising. His description of the uprising is as follows: "Cowboys come. Indian heap 'fraid. Cowboys shoot tent, break him down, kill Indian man. We run 'way. Cow boys come again, we run more. No horse we run and walk. Indian man, squaw walk. Kids, he walk, too. Go far in mountains. Heap cold no grub. Indian heap scared. "Then John Scott (General Scotf) he came. He make straight talk. He tell Indian not get kill. Me and my pa and six Indian man come back, go to Salt Lake. John Scott, he fine man. good man. He my friend. Me alone no like be alone. Me want friend." And that is the entire story of the cause of the Piute uprising, according to friends of the Indian. The Piutes were ignorant of the ways of the Whites and were afraid of the cow boys. There is nothing of the rene gade or desperado about Tse-Ne-Gat. On the street here his wonder over every evidence of civilization is child like, and at the same time pitiful. His sleek, black hair falls in two braids in front over his chest. Tse-Ne-Gat i3 six feet tall, a powerful physique. He is confident of acquital, describ ing the trial thus: "Big talk. Heap big talk. John Scott he tell me. He say big talk Where you don't have to spend all you make for togs. We run this shop with the idea in mind that the average man wants to dress well on the smallest possible expense. That's why you can get such good athletic union suits here for 50; such swell straw hats and Panamas for so little money; such fine shirts at a dollar and less and remember we are carrying standard brands. See US about "Royal Tailored" come Denver me talk white man talk. Then me go home. Maybeso my pa, he die no talk." "Pa," is Old Polk, another leader of the Piute uprising, and 'lse-iNe-Gat's father. Old Polk is dying of tuberculosis. He is held In Salt Lake jail with six other Indians to be tried for taking part in tho uprising last February. WAR INFANTS A MYTH. Archbishop Finds Xo Basis fop Stories Jlrs. 1'ankhurst Dissents. London, June 18. "No evidence available justifies the belief that the conditions of war have resulted in any exceptional increase in illegitimacy, is the conclusion reached by a com mittee of which the archbishop of York is the chairman, which has been investigating the "war babies" ques tion. The reoort- says that special in quiries in sixty-two towns and districts brought confirmation or alarmist ru mors that have been in circulation concerning Illegitimacy, and therefore it has been considered unnecessary to organize special agencies to deal with the problem. Mrs. Kmmeline Pankhurst. the mil itant suffragist leader, is evidently of the opinion that there are more war babies" than the archbishop of York believes. At a meeting today of the Woman's Political Union, Mrs. Pank hurst announced that the organization had undertaken to look after the "war babies" and establish a home for them and "bv the adoption of these children take the moral responsibility of caring for them as long as we can.

But the one situation that is caus ing comment among persons in touch with the prison mine is the state's ap parent inconsistency regarding its own Soveral years ago a valuable mine adoining the prison mine was forced to shut down because it was not equipped with an airehaft, as provided by state law. The mine is still closed. Yet during the several years the pri vate mine has been shut down, the state has continued to operate its mine and lives of convicts were endangered just as lives of employees in the pri vate mine were endangered. Now the condition of the prison mine is to be the basis of an investiga tion which in the minds of political observers has for one purpose, at least, the removal of J. D. Botkin as warden. The fact that the legislature failed to give Botkin funds to improve the condition of the mine, may or may not count In the inquiry. Only recently the governor and the warden engaged in a warm session by mail when the governor vetoed the appropriation for the prison twine plant revolving fund. Botkin Insisted the efficiency of the twine plant was handicapped by the governor's action. The governor replied that if Botkin could not operate without a revolving fund, he would try to find a warden who could. But now there is a different condi tion. The state has for some years, it is claimed, violated her own mining laws. Now because of that condition, Botkin's job hangs in the balance.

The rnnference was not an assem blage of what one participant termed "pure peace" men, but a gathering of those who, for the most part, believed in trying to bring about peace, even though they had to use force to do it. Thoro was an animated discussion over the adoption of the name and the only division that occurred on the sev eral Questions that came before the conference was on the proposition to change the title of the organization and to omit from the report of the resolutions committee that section which bound members of the league of nations to use both their economic and military forces against any one of their number that, goes to war against another member before the questions at issue are submitted to the tribunals provided for by the league. George W. KIrchwey, professor of law. Columbia university, suggested that the name be changed to "League to Establish and Maintain Peace." The proposed elimination of the word "en force" found supporters, but it was defeated after a vigorous speech by A. Lawrence Lowell, president of Har vard university and chairman of the resolutions committee. "We are here to enforce peace, oth erwise we have no business here at all." he exclaimed with spirit. "When you fight a forest fire you light it with back fire. We have here a means to discourage war and that means Is the threat to use force." RAINS IN NORTHWEST fontinueajTrom JPageOne.J at 5:55 o'clock Thursday evening and continued until 8:30 netted 1.15 inches of water. The ground had been well baked subsequent to the heavy rains of last week and conse ouentlv most of the water ran off. The paved streets were washed clean. The storm was not accompanied by the continuous lightning flashes ana heaw thunder claps that have char acterized other recent storms. How ever, the rain was heavy. An inch of water fell between 6:15 and 6:50 o'clock. Big Rains Northwest. Between four and five inches of rain fell at Marysville according to the reports. The telephone system was badly crippled, and streams were bank full. The Big Blue river rose twelve feet between 10 o'clock Thursday morning and 6 o'clock in the evening. Spring creek, which empties into the Bie Blue half a mile south or Marys ville. rose fourteen feet. It will be several days before farm work will be possible. Six inches of rain is reported to have fallen at Jamestown, a Central Branch town. A heavy rain with severe wind swept the country be tween Concordia and Downs. Prof. P. Caspar Harvey, head of the department of English at the Fort Hays Normal, who was in Topeka to day, stated that there were seven suc cessive tornadoes in Ellis county Thursday, which uprooted trees and demolished houses. He told of a pic nic at the home of John Atwood, a farmer, where the picnickers were lifted by the wind and carried hun dreds of feet. And the surprising part of it was that there were no inuries sustained. The wind almost reached the pro portions of a tornado southwest of Leavenworth, and farmers are dis couraged over crop prospects. Fields or wneat were knocked flat. Six Inches at Beloit. A six-inch rain is reported to have fallen at Beloit. A report from Hays states that the people watched a tor nado in the distance. One death, due to an attack of heart disease, said to have been brought on by the heavy storm, oc curred at Kansas City, Kan. Mrs. Mary Overton was the victim. A wind storm that swept the city did much damage to buildings and trees. Serious damage is reported to have been done by wind and rain near Osawatomie and Lane, Kan. Several houses are said to have been demolished at the latter town. One was blown from its foundation and broken up. The owner, who was in the house when the storm struck, escaped with a few bruises. Much of the lowlands near the two towns is under water from the rapidly rising Mara is Des Cygnes and Pottawatomie rivers. The damage done by a 62-mile wind at Wichita, it is reported, was con fined largely to the uprooting of trees and the flooding of basements. m Traffic on the Missouri, Kansas and Texas railroad was demoralized near Fort Scott- The wind was violent blowing over sixty cars. More Wire Trouble, The Thursday evening precipitation at Topeka brought the total amount of rainfall for the year thus far up to 24.52 as compared with an even thirty inches, the total rain in 1914. The normal amount of rain for the period beginning January 1 and ending today is x. i z ingnes. In the last thirty-one days the rain has measured 15.32 inches, or more than half of the average annual rain fall for the last five years. In May the rainfall was 9.23; this month it has been almost seven inches and the month is little more than half gone. Rain- has fallen on twenty-one or me last thirty-two days, and on ten days this month. An average of more than one-half inch a day has been recorded in the last month. Before the damage caused to the cables of the Bell company in Topeka by the storms of last week could be fully repaired, the storm late Thurs day caused additional wire trouble. Every effort is being made to rush the repair worK. River Is- Rising. Uhe stage of the Kaw river at 2 o'clock this afternoon was 14 feet, a rise of 1.9 feet since 8 o'clock.

TODAY'S MARKET REPORT. Chicago, June 18. WHEAT Heavy rains throughout the west brought a rush of orders to buy wheat, and resulted in a quick advance. On the bulge, however, there was active selling in which foreign ers were said to have taken a prominent part; according to one authority the storm did much less damage to wheat than had been generally supposed. Opening prices, which ranged from c to lc higher, were followed by some additional upturns, and then a reaction in which nearly ali the gains disappeared. Subsequently, Missouri reports of the presence of black rust iu severe form led to a sharp rally. Crop damage advices were on the increase. The close firm at lc above last ntght. t'OHN corn prices took an unsnoot ow ing to field condition that meant delay to cultivation and implied much replanting. The market though reacted afterward with wheat. After opening c to lc higher, prices fell back to last night's level. Later the market recovered with wheat but owing to cheap Argentine offers at New York the effect failed to laBt. The close was unsettled at c of to a sixteenth advance, compared with last night. OATS Oats merely reflected the course of other grain. Trading was of a general character and of fair volume. PROVISIONS Higher quotations for bogs put strength into provisions.

Battling neck and neck in a great exhibition of pitching, Zabel, of Chicago, and Pfef fer, of Brooklyn, Thursday fought a 19-inning game to a finish which was heart-breaking from the standpoint of the visiting pitcher, for the Cubs won, despite his brilliant work. The game set a season's record for number of innings, but it was played rapidly. Pfeffer worked all through thj contest and Zabel, succeeding Humphries when the latter's hand was split by Wheat's hit in the first inning, pitched nearly as long. Erratic support was given both pitchers. Every Brooklyn run was di rectly helped in by an error and two of Chicago's were due to misplays, Fisher counting the winning score when Cutshaw threw wild on Wil liams' hard grounder in the nine teenth. Fast fielding saved scores for both sides, too. Twice the score was tied when the game seemed over. Fisher's single in the nineteenth and Schulte's long fly placed the former on second, whence he scored on Cutshaw's error. The score: R. H. E.

One weather certainty is that the Kansas dry-spell for 1915 cannot pos sibly be of as extended a duration as some of its predecessors have been. X Just offhand, it would appear that Ir. Richardson, of Fort Scott, who tias set out to organize and unionize the farm hands of Kansas, has a con siderable job ahead of him. i There is never an end to the lingual difficulties of those who discuss the war news. As Frzemysl goes out of the running Przasnysz steps into the irena. Your nose has to be lit good working order to pronounce the name f the latter place. i. i While perhaps it. Is Just, as w.ell. for. Berlin to be in no'-hwrry to reply to pur last representations concerning' the Lusitania affair,-It -is -to -be-heped that, in the meantime, .th Germans, will also Jisplay no hurry to take tart in the staging of another such a horror. t Colonel Goethals prospective retire ment to private life suggests that some body or corporation has a job and kalary for him that will be materially commensurate with his abilities. Thanks are about all that ft grateful country has given him for his monu mental endeavor In the construction of the Panama canal. Chicago's big but brief street car strike also takes a high rank among the victories that the principles of arbitration have been winning in the last few years. But an improvement along these lines could be found If labor and capital would make ar rangements to arbitrate their differ ences before a crisis that necessitates a strike on the part of labor is reached. In using every possible effort to ward off a surplus invasion of wheat harvest hands, the state authorities concerned in the premises, are work ing along right lines. Too many har vest hands are worse in a way than not enough, and because of the hard chips placed on those for whom there is no work and on the communities which must care for them in some fashion and help them on their way. This seems to be the open season n the Sherman anti-trust law. An other severe swat at it has been taken by the federal courts, the second with in a week. This time the supreme court refused to intervene in the re versal by the sixth circuit court of appeals of the conviction of the offi cials of the National Cash Register company for alleged violations of the criminal provisions of the Sherman act. Speaking of the trials and tribula tions of the judge of an old-fashioned baby show, they are as nothing when compared with the difficulties of the unfortunate who may bo called upon to award the requisite, medal to the American correspondent who has Been more of the fighting and maneuver ing In the European war than any of his brethren. Already there are as many claimants for the honor as there have been such correspondents in the field. MENTAL NECESSITIES. The fact that the consumption of candy has suffered no decrease in the Industrial situation incident to the war. has brought into question the old theory that luxuries were hardest hit in times of economy, says the Kansas Industrialist. But is candy a luxury T Has it not rather become a necessity? It is eaten by persons of every degree of wealth, from the child who spends his only penny for a yard-long licorice "shoestring," to the young woman who is regaled with candied violets worth i a- pound. It is true that candy is not a sine qua non of physical exist ence, but neither are most other arti cles that we call necessities. Most of our necessities, are mental necessities. They are essential to our welfare or at any rate our happiness because we have formed the habit of -using them. And the European statesmen appear to be paying even less attention to the preachments of Mr. Bryan as to the cause of the war, how to end it, and establish perpetual peace, than are his fellow citizens. TURKEY'S GOOSE COOKED. A deaf ear will undoubtedly be turned by her Teutonic allies to Tur key's plea that she be permitted to sue for a separate peace. Turkey would be unable to arrange terms of peace with the Allies that did not in clude the opening of the Dardanelles, or its absolute surrender to other au thority, and the opening of the Dar danelles would be of immeasurable ad vantage to the enemies of Germany and Austria. Not only would it release the great surplus stores of wheat that Russia has on hand, which would be of large benefit to England, France and Italy, but the way would also be clear for the Allies to reciprocate with the supplies of munitions of war that Russia so sorely needs. Why this silence about the activi ties of the republic of San Marino since her entrance into the war? Surely her army of 60 officers and men with their one or two cannon ought to have been able to make, at least, a little noise. THE TEXTBOOK BUSINESS. Greatly exaggerated ideas prevail concerning the total number of text books sold in the United. States each year and the annual profits resulting from such sales. Confidential data obtained by the United States bureau of education from 43 textbook pub lishers in the United States show that their aggregate total sales of text books for use in public and private schools in 1913 amounted to $17, 274,403. The aggregate for public schools, elementary and high, amount ed to $14,261,768. The total enroll ment In public elementary and high schools for the year was approximate ly 18,609,040. Excluding the ele mentary school enrollment of Califor nia, since California prints its own elementary books,' the. number be comes 18,213,786. For each child en rolled in the public schools in the United States, therefore, the total an nual sale of textbooks is 78.3 cents. The total expenditure per child for all school purposes is approximately $38.31. The cost of textbooks is thus approximately 2 per cent of the total cost of maintenance, support and equipment. The cost per child on the school population basis (5-18 years of age) is 56.6 cents; the annual per capita cost of textbooks on the total population basis is less than 15 cents. These figures Indicate that there is little ground for the fear sometimes expressed that the introduction of free textbooks will add greatly to the cost of the public-school system and will greatly increase the rate of taxation for school purposes. As a matter of fact,, the cost for textbooks is a rela tively small item in the total expendi ture for school purposes. Bureau of education officials feel convinced that the figures obtained afford a trust worthy statement of the real facts about the size of the .schoolbook busi ness. The 43 firms from which data were obtained handle probably 99 per cent of the total textbook .ales in this country. Besides California, Kansas also now prints its own textbooks, but the plan waS not in operation in 1913. Possibly, if the Yaqui Indians of Mexico were aware of the fact that Texas is a part of the United States, they wouldn't have been in such a hurry to declare war against this nation. No variety of Mexican has much fear of the United States, but all of them have great respect for Texas and her prowess. WHEAT CROP NOT ALL PROFIT. In waxing enthusiastic over a bumper wheat crop, the important fact is too often forgotten that of the huge sum in the aggregate which the farmers receive for their wheat, ap proximately two-thirds of it, perhaps more, represents what it has actually cost them to produce and harvest the crop. And the big advantage that a community, a state, for instance, en- Joys from a bumper wheat crop lies In the amount of money that it puts into circulation. If our population is growing so( much faster than our food supply, as a professor of the University of Chicago points out in his prediction that a famine will descend on this country in the near future, how does it happen that 'we are able to export enormous quantities of all kinds of food products each year? And these exports are increasing in volume all the time. SOME USHATCHED CHICKENS. Rumania is reported to have signed a compact with Russia that assures her entrance into the war on the side of the Allies. To state the proposition differently, the nations that are now getting in on the war game are de manding their spoils, or guarantees of them in advance. But the business of counting chickens- before they are hatched is just, as uncertain In war as It Is on a poultry farm, as some peoples will find out when the war is over. There is never an end to the trou bles of the wheat farmers. On top of the activities of the Hessian flies and chinch bugs comes the announcement that the threshermen are of a mind to demand a larger remuneration for their services. HOW KRUPPS AVOID LABOR TROUBLES. Here is practically a national con cern in private hands, writes Robert Hunter in the American Review of Reviews for June, in an article en titled, 'The Krupps" Model Town." It might almost be called the German Arsenal. To have the regular work ing of this great place subject to the disputes, strikes, and stoppages inci dental to industry would be to jeop ardize the interests of the Father land In case of war. This was all the more necessary because of the extensive growth of the anti-militarist sentiment among the working class of Germany. It was, therefore, es sential that as many of these draw backs, or the reasons for them, should be eliminated. The wife, who is anxious to keep her husband in good bumor, is advised to "feed the brute," and the Krupps undoubtedly went to work on the same principle in regard their employees. The work they had for them to do was highly skilled, highly dangerous, and often very dangerous. They wanted an army of the most sturdy and efficient men, stalwart sons of "Vulcan, men who could always be relied upon for service, arid who would not be sus ceptible to the influence and disturb ances of industrial- or political life. And so the conditions of employment must be better than anywhere else, the wages must permit of a higher standard of living, there should be security for life, in short, the condi tions should be such that it paid any disgruntled man better to stay right Journal Entries People without bitter enemies are also usually without strong friends.

The worse a reputation the harder it is to lose. A grouchy man thinks he laughs best who laughs least. Why does the self made man never suffer from remorse? Even a color blind man can tell a greenback when he sees it. But too many people get into an argument who have nothing to say. The female of the species is the weeping expert of the human race. Anyway, a pessimist never bores us with his alleged funny stories. Rather than waste kindness on an ungrateful man, lavish it on a dog.

AH fiction, or rather all that is not simply parrot talk, is, to some extent, biography. An author writes either about his own experiences and emotions, or what his own experiences and emo tions have taught him by analogy. But some novels are much more autobiographical than others. Almost every writer has written one book which is himself. And, to my mind, this book is nearly always the best. Of course, you understand that I don't mean that all the incidents in the book actually happened to the au thor. Far from it. These autobiog raphies are not photographs, they are more like impressionistic paint ings. Take Dickens. I, beliebe ;'David Copperfield" is generally conceded to be his own story. It is also rated as among the best, if not absolutely the best, and is certainly the most gen erally beloved of the great man's works. "Pendennis" is Thackeray's himself book. I have not read enough of Dickens to feel that I have any right to pass an opinion upon his writings, but Thackeray is one of my favorite authors and so I feel justified to mention the fact that "Pendennis" is to me his finest work. "Jane Eyre," which in some' of its incidents is so closely autobiography as to have aroused tremendous resent-, ment among those whose treatment of the heroine is described, is certain ly the best known and best, liked of Charlotte Bronte's books. "Cranford" is emphaticajjy ari au tobiographical book and even .learned critics are unanimous in agreeing with ordinary readers that nothing Mrs. Gaskell over did, touches this ex quisite record of her visits to Her' old friends in Cranford (Knutsford in real life). "Pride and Prejudice." I belive, is Jane Austen's herself book and is the most widely read, and, in the minds of many, the best. Although, since all her books are pretty much auto biography it does not stand head and shoulders above the rest. I doubt If there are many books in whole world more widely reed and more universally- loved than "Little Women," and of course I don't need to tell you that is the closest kind of autobiography. With the authors of our own day we have no historians to tell us what is autobiography and what is not, but it's lots of fun to guess. "Sentimental Tommy," I feei sure, is the story of the little boy Barrie. Bunker Bean is another hero whose personality seems autobiographical for two reasons firstly, because it doesn't seem possible that anyone could have imagined such states of mind and, secondly because he is so much above the rest of his creator's work. A magazine which was advertisting its willingness to pay a high price for good short stories, named sincerity as the most important quality of a good story. Tenderness, love for one's fellow-beings, seems to me another. Now these are the qualities that the auto biographical stories are by their na ture richest in. What wonder that we love them? QUAKER MEDITATIONS. From the Philadelphia Record. There are times when the blind man may feel that he is all at sea. Women are riddles, in spite of the fact that some of them are rather plain. You don't have to be a sailor to realize that a ship's log is a poor life preserver. Talk is cheap, but the lawyer al ways gets more for his than the min ister does. Even the pessimist may hope for the best, but he is generally disap pointed if he gets it. Distance lends enchantment to the view, but the average man doesn't care about borrowing that way. Even in the search for happiness some people are never satisfied unless they are looking for trouble. It Is perhaps better for a man to rest on his laurels than to allow some other fellow to rest on them. When a man is willing to admit that he is a fool, the chances are he isn't. Many a girl makes a fool of a fel low before she finally marries him to make a man of him. If you are going to bury the hatchet it's a good plan to put a tomb stone over it to keep it down.

Ruth Chishelm snuggled down in the depths of her most comfortable armchair and looked long at the photographs held in either hand. One pictured Arthur Merwin's in tellectual face, fair and Ughteyed, with a heavy sweep of pale hair brushed back from his high forehead. The other showed Lynn Frary's blun ter features dark, good looking, with keen brown eyes and heavy black brows. Arthur's chin lost its strength by the merest fraction, Lynn's was square and determined. The former had money and social position; the other was the American agent for a firm in Japan. Beyond his salary, Lynn had lew expectations. Lynn was thousands of miles away in Tokio. Arthur was firmly estab lished in his father's business in New York. The night before Arthur had pro posed to Ruth, and that very morn ing she had received Lynn's letter de claring his love and asking for her answer. "Which?'1 she asked herself. Her heart answered, "Lynn." Ambition suggested Arthur's name. Ambition won. So a letter wended its way over land and sea to reach Lynn Frary in a fairylike bungalow in the suburbs of Tokio. He was sitting on the veranda when Ruth's letter was handed to him and he held it unopened in his hand for a long time, his dark eyes bent musingly on the ground. It was a thin letter but why pro long the agony of suspense? He tore open the envelope and read the few lines of regret. He laughed shortly. "Engaged to Arthur Merwin!" Then the cryptomerias at the end of the garden became a dark blur be fore his eyes. He muttered at his own weakness and, cramming the let ter Into .his .pocket, called his ricksha boy and went down to the dull round of daily duties. Months passed arid Lynn heard no further news of Ruth Chishelm until one day he received a bundle of New York newspapers and jread that she was soojri; to bjnarlied to Arthur' Merwin.'"'-"':''' v He must pick Out a wedding pres ent for heir f or the girl he loved who Was going to "be another man's bride. Lypn.drew. a deep breath and squared his shoulders. Well, other men had been through, the same bitter experi ence, he was game too. His quest: led- him to the shop of a Japanese friend, Sen Aru. Amid a chaos of ivories, bronzes, bits of cloi sonne, and fine porcelains, Lynn was bewildered. "A wedding gift for a friend?" re peated Sen Aru, a noble-looking old man. Lynn winced. "Something very nice. Sen Aru," he said. "The very nicest thing ycu have in the shop." The Japanese looked keenly at his friend. "The very nicest thing I have in the shop would be this Koson mir ror." He brought forth from a san dalwood box a round hand mirror of highly polished steel set in a frame of carved ivory. Lynn uttered a gasp of admiration. "That's quite the finest' thing I've seen," he muttered. "I must have it." Sen Aru nodded shrewdly. "Some time, if you will honor my humble shop and drink tea with me, I will tell you the history of that mirror." "Thank you, I will. Now, if you will pack it carefully I'll get it down to Yokohama. A steamer sails to morrow for San Francisco it should reach New York by the 15th." "And the wedding day is?" ques tioned Sen Aru. "March 25, I believe. Here, pleas' put my card in with it. Here is the address to which it Is to be sent." "I will send it with immediate dis patch," promised Sen Aru. He watched Lynn leave the shop and he shook his head sadly. "Such a splendid young man and grown so thin and worn with unhap piness. It must be this woman who has hurt hip heart. Perhaps the mir ror of Koson will cure the- hurt, who knows? Only the gods can tell." Several weeks later Lynn dropped into Sen Aru's shop for the promised cup of tea and the story of the Koson mirror. Sen Aru's onyx eyes became points of glittering light as he poured the tea and served little rice cakes to his friend. The story of the Koson mirror was a short one. "Koson was a young man, a son of the Samurai; of noble birth, but quite poor in this world's goods. He loved the daughter of a prince and, although there was no parental opposition to their marriage, the girl was ambitious and favored a man of great wealth; so, in spite of her love for the poor youth, she went about her prepara tions for her marriage to the rich man. "Koson wished to send her a wed ding gift and, possessing this ancient mirror, he set about cleaning it to make it fit to offer to the bride. The mirror was dull and unpolished, and there were spots of rust upon it. But Koson worked night and day upon the mirror, rubbing and polishing it with the greatest labor and nicety, all the while his heart wrung with anguish for his lost love. "So long did he labor over the mir ror that it seemed he had imparted some of his own personality to the in animate thing of steel and ivory. So often was his sad face bent over the mirror that it verily reflected his fea tures. All this he did not know. "A few days before the wedding he sent his servant with the Koson mir ror. The next day it was rumored that the birde refused to leave the mirror; she sat before it hour after nolr, weeping and embracing it and bewailing her unhappy fate in marry ing the rich lover. "Koson was skeptical, but his heart beat high for the girl he loved, and two days before, the wedding she came to him weeping, and so they were mar ried. It is said that the mirror of Koson still holds its charm to recon cile estranged lovers." Sen Aru smiled mystically. Lynn looked sharply at the Jap anese. 1 "Is that why you recommended the mirror to me?" he asked quietly. "It makes a handsome wedding present," reminded Sen Aru. "I hope you are pleased with it." "It is very beautiful, but it would be awkward if it worked any magic in this case," laughed Lynn uncom fortably. "You see, the lady in the case loves her husband to be." "Only the gods understand," return ed Sen Aru gravely. Lynn's wedding gift reached Ruth Chishelm ten days before the date set for the wedding. She opened the soft wrappings of red tissue paper, her fingers trembling, for she knew that Lynn had sent her something from the Orient. At last she reached the inner box of fragrant sandalwood and the mir ror of Koson lay before her in all its beauty. She uttered a cry of delight and picked it up, gazing long at her reflec tion. Then, as if, indeed, the mirror were fulfilling the old tradition, Lynn Frary's face seemed to blot out her own features. "What is the matter with me?" she cried sharply and dropped it quickly: She picked up a strip of red paper covered with stiff handwriting. With slowly whitening cheeks she she read Sen Aru's polite letter, telling her the tradition of the Koson mir ror, and regretting that his much honored friend, Lynn Frary, appeared sick and ailing. And with many phrases and many subtle hints as to the ill health of his American friend, Sen Aru closed his cheering epistle to the bride. Ruth Chishelm, moet unhappy of brides, dropped her bright head down on the mirror and sobbed. Lynn Frary, recovering from a real illness, sat in the veranda of his bung alow and enjoyed the delicate scent of cherry blossoms from the lane beside the house. It was April and the air was soft and balmy. He was thinking of Arthur Merwin and his bride. Probably they were spending a honeymoon in Europe. He wondered if Ruth was happy. Mer win was not a bad chap and he had heaps of money, and that seemed to count more than anything else nowa days. So absorbed was he in his bitter thoughts that he did not hear the patter of ricksha runners, and only the sound of Sen Aru's wooden clogs aroused him. Lynn greeted his visitor cordially, but Sen Aru waved aside an invita tion to enter. "You would remember the legend of Koson he asked politely. Lynn nodded impatiently. Sen Aru waved his hand toward the path. "It is true that legends repeat them selves. Behold, my friend He vanished dowr. a side path, but Lynn didny: notice his departure. He saw only Ruth Chishelm coming up the path toward him, with eager, outstretched hands. In the rear, talk ing in her voluble way with Lynn's house servant, was iir3. Chishcim. "Lynn," cried Ruth, putting her hands in his, "I've found out my mis take in time. Is it too late for you to love me now?" "It would never be too late for that, sweetheart," he said taking her Into his arms.

Sen Aru smiled at Lynn-across, the counter of his shop. "I wish to send a wedding gift to your bride, my friend," he said, "but not a mirror you need nothing to work magic now." "You have given us the best gift in BLUEY TRAILS After Bluey Blackbird had had his fun scaring Billy Robin by huffing himself all up big and fat (and who indeed wouldn't be frightened to see their old enemy all puffed up like Bluey was?) he began to look around for. further trouble. It's a queer thing about Bluey Blackbird he never seemed- happy unless he was bother ing somebody or teasing or doing some kind of mischief! He couldn't scare Billy any more. He couldn't scare Tommy Sparrow for thoughtful Billy Robin had told Ton.my Sparrow all about Bluey's blowing himself up and squalking so that Tommy wouldn't have to be frightened as was Billy when he first saw Bluey blow up. So what should he do? Just as he was about to de cide he would have to drive the tree fairies out of their oak tree home by way of amusement, he happened to hear Reddy Squirrel say, "Aall right. Frisky. I'll go now. But you may be sure I will come again for now that I know the way it won't seem so far." "Far to where?" asked Bluey flying down so close to Reddy Squirrel that he couldn't avoid seeing him. "Far to my home," replied Reddy politely, for no matter how much he might dislike Bluey Blackbird's selfish ways, he determined to be polite to him, you see. "My home is in the park," replied Reddy. "That is, It's going to be from now on." 'So'" asked Bluey with very rude curiosity. "Why?" Reddy saw that he was in for a talk, so he sat down on the gras,s and ex plained. "You see, Bluey," he began, "I have lived in the country all but a little time in my life. That little time was spent in a big city park. Now I've just been talking to Frisky and he likes city life so well that I'm going to persuade my mate to go with me into our city park home. Then we can come over often and visit the garden." Bluey didn't reply, so Red dy scampered oft as fast as ever he could towards his little mate and his woody home. "Pooh!" exclaimed Bluey with a fine show of scorn, "he talks as though it was a great thing to live in the city! I wonder where that park he seems to think so much of. is. I might go and live there myself I don't think much of this garden!" So Bluey flew along behind Red MT Bem-mm i i i imssssss the world. Sen Aru," declared Lynn.

It is possible that the Kansas farm ers. do not, as yet, realize the value of county farm experts and demonstra tors, and the advantages that may be derived by employing these men who have specialized along the lines of scientific farming. Their services are of inestimable value in fighting the Hessian fly and other pests that men ace and often destroy the crops. Add to this the fact that they are equipped to give practical advice on problems that often puzzle the farmers, and it will be readily seen that the farm demonstrator will be an important factor in the future development of this country. The fame of the Kansas farm experts has traveled far beyond the bounds of the state, yea, even be yond the United States. The railway managers of Argentine have become impressed by the way the United States shows the farmer how to grow more and better crops. The result is that the Kansas State Agricultural college has just sent a farm demon strator to begin a three year contract with the Argentine Central railroad, to take charge of its demonstration work. If a farm demonstrator is a good thing for Argentine, why not for Kansas? The time will come when more extensive farming will be done, and when it will be done scientifically. The young farmers who are taking courses in agriculture will bring it about and the farm demonstrator will prove a valuable ally in the work. In cidentally it might be mentioned that here is a great opening for young men. The profession Is not over crowded, the work is interesting and there are great opportunities for ad vancement along the line of research work. Wichita Eagle. From Other Pens SOUTH AMERICAN TRADE. Current statistics indicate a re sumption of activity in shipments to South America. The tide began to turn about two months ago, and, it is stated, Latin-American, are as willing to buy our products as we are to ship them. It is interesting to observe the lines in which greatest activity prevails. American manufacturers are now shipping trimmed hats, millinery, no tions, women's hose, ready-to-wear garments, ribbons and piece goods to Argentina, Brazil and Chile in large quantities. For the first time in his tory South America :s now buying cotton from the United States. There is an increasing spindlage in Brazil. Argentina is showing interest in this line. Another factor in swelling the volume of trade is the amount of American coal now being bought. Within the next six months, it is free ly predicted, all the South Ameri can imports of coal will be from the United States instead of from Wales and Australia. There is a falling off in the demand for railroad and con struction materials, due to a cessation of construction work in the whole of South and Central America, but the future' Is said td be bright, and Amer ican dealers in materials expect to capture practically all the trade. Milwaukee Wisconsin. Mobile, Ala., will increase city water supply. REDDY SQUIRREL. dy Squirrel to spy out where he was going. He saw Reddy run the long way to the woods. He saw him hunt up his spry little mate. And, perched on a low hanging limb of a great pine tree, he heard him tell Mrs. Keddy all that Frisky had said about liking the city. Bluey flew along lx-lilnd Reddy iSqulrrel. "And you know we liked it, too, and found the park the easiest kind of a place to get food in. You know we never thought of moving back to the country till we got into that nest of hornets." "Yes, to be sure,'" admitted Mrs. Reddy, "but do you think we can find a place that has no hornets?" "Indeed we can," said Reddy stout ly, "and we will!" So, without fur ther talk, the two squirrels started the Journey to the park. They had no trouble finding their 'way and after two or three hours of hurrying and hiding (there was need for both) they found themselves in the park. And Bluey, quite unknown to them, followed all the way. When the edge of the park was reached. Bluey flew off towards the trees and what fun he did have you can quite imagine! (Copyright. Clarx.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOUFw t,.FRIDAY EVENING. JUNE 18, 1915. tContinued from Page. Three. SPORT WHEEZES Betas Pnrtolned Doc Meat, Prune Piss, Laraoa Sandwiches. Etc. (By Clug.) All Chicago -was walking the first of I'ne week, but still the Cubs couldn't hold their own. We would hate to print the day by day attendance figures of Wichita and Topeka in an effort to show that Topcka is drawing aa well as any other town in the league. Those fans who are interested in the big league races should know that St. Louis newspapers are now predicting pennant possibilities for the Cardinals. And the Times goes so far as to say than St. Louis has a chance to cop two flags. Billy Murphy probably is tell ing his readers that all three rags are cinched, but the green tinted Star doesn't seem to circulate in this part of Kansas. A local fan wants to know what team in the Western league is strong est just now. Well, the standing still indicates that IsbeH's team is. How ever, Topeka and Denver are not look ing very puny. In fact it is probable that it would be possible to make the figures pre varicate and show that Topeka should be first and Denver second in the standing. Both teams have a wonderful fight ing feather, and the managers of both have overcome some trying difficul ties. This is especially true of Jimmy Jackson who has kept his head above water in spite of the fact there has never been a time when he has all his pitchers going. A majority of Jimmy's games have been won by using two or three pitch ers a day, and then shooting one of the used ones back in the next game. There are not many managers who can get by with this and there are not many" pitching staffs that can etand the gaff. B. C. B. in Again. We have with us again the Biddle Creek Bard. Here is his latest con tribution: Sweet Wichita, you're doing fine! Come right along and help us shine. We will not care how close you jog. If you don't try to play the hog. B. C. B. It is understood that Frank Isbell of Des Moines was awarded the for feited game given to him in Lincoln a short time ago when the Lincoln team refused to allow the umpire to run the game. Lincoln papers say that Izzy should be awarded a medal for being the best little protest-winner in the league. chances to manage major league clubs, but at that time had interests in the minors which he could not af ford to give up. But now he is anx ious to get a chance in fast company and he will not turn down Somers" offer, though ho would like to finish the season at Indianapolis. In commenting on the pennant prospects of the teams in the West ern League, the Lincoln News has the following to say about the Savages: "The Topeka Savages, who today stand tied with Des Moines at the top of the pile, have been playing consist ent baseball since the season's open ing day. John Savage has a hustling manager in Jimmy Jackson and an aggregation of peppery ball players. It is a ball club that will fight for every game and convert defeat into victory the moment the opposition loiters on the job. But the pitching staff is not of the same grade as the remainder of the team. Grover and Clunn are the only pitchers who have shown consistent form, so Topeka is in the same boat with Des Moines it must fortify its hurling staff if the team is to hold its present position in the race." QUIGLEY AGAIXST BRAVES? President of Boston Clnb Doesn't Be lieve It; Orders "Panning" Stopped. Boston, Mass., June 18. Umpire baiting as practiced by the world's champions was severely condemned by President James E. Gaffney in an in terview Thursday. He also placed himself on record as being strongly opposed to such tactics, saying he had delivered orders to have it cut out. "You cannot make it too strong," the head of the Boston National League club said, "that the actions of the Boston players in two of the Chi cago games have not made any hit with me. That's a fine way to be help ing the club at a time when, judging from the game the team is playing it needs all the possible assistance. "I cannot see the logic in the asser tion that Umpire Quigley is costing the Braves a lot of games. I have looked up the records and find that the Bos ton team has won as many games as it has lost with Quigley umpiring, and when you look at the Braves percent age you will find that they are not much above the .500 figure: rather they are on the other side of it."

William Raup, of Portage, Wis., won the west ern handicap, the final event of the tenth annual trap shooting tourna ment of the interstate association, which came to a close here Thursday. Kaup won the principal event of the tournament from 230 shooters after playing off two ties. Raup scored 9 7 out of 100 targets in the early firing but this was equaled by George Grubb, of Wetmore, Kan., and T. A. Snell, of Staunton, 111. The trio then shot at twenty targets and each scored 18. In the third trial, Raup hit 19 out of the 20; Grubb hit 18 and Snell 17. BASEBALL TODAY. Training tables for big league ball players is seen in the near future by President Timme of the Milwaukee i Brewers. "Track and football men have training tables, so why not baseball players?" says Timme. A Topekan who spent a few days in Wichita last week says he never saw a town so enthusiastic over base ball. "The porters in the hotels won't take a tip from you," he says, "until they have told you how the Wolves are going to win the day's ball game, and the waitresses in the restaurants won't serve you until you have told them what you think of their team." This certainly is a Utopian state of anairs anu pronauij accounts lor tne fact that the Wolves have begun to j play good ball. However, it might be a good thing for the Topeka club if local hotels and restaurants would import their help from the Peerless Princess city. In his "Views and Shear News" in the Chicago Post, Howard Mann ma ligns Kansas thusly: "Kansas Farmers are fishing in their alfalfa fields with pitchforks and rakes and catching tons of fish, ac cording to a veracious correspondent at Winfleld. AVe are now waiting for him to send word that as a result of the flood the bass have eaten all the grasshoppers." Of all the nerve that a player has ever displayed, none has equaled Ben ny Kauff. who is suing the Giants for $5,000, a bonus he was to have been paid when he signed with the Giants. As this transaction was not permitted by the powers that be in baseball. KaufT, of course, remained with the Feds, yet he wants the Xew Tork club to pay him the $5,000. When Charley Somers gets ready to appoint a permanent manager for his Indians it is likely to be Jack Hendricks, who now is at the head of the Indianapolis team of the Ameri can Association. Hendricks has been one of the most successful minor league managers the game has ever produced, and he is picked to be a success in the major leagues when lie breaks into Cleveland.

In its nation wide fight against consumption, the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis has enlist ed the aid of the "movie." "The White Terror." produced by the Uni versal Film company, the first shot fired through the new medium, is re leased today in thirty-eight different cities. The picture tells a dramatic story in an effective manner and yet empha sizes the vital lesson of prevention of the disease before it becomes un curnble. "The White Terror" describes cer tain conditions in Everytown and re veals how Boyd. the political boss, controls the industrial, political and socal life of the town. His only ob ject in life is money. Anionic his many activities Boyd manufactures a fake cure for con sumption and when the Clarion, the onlv newspaper in town, attacks him and his methods, Boyd buys the pa per's silence. Matthew Brand, who is in love with Bovd's daughter, buys the Clarion, and goes after the "boss" hammer and tongs. His vigorous attacks on Boyd makes the political boss desperate and he plana to blow up the newspaper office to get rid of Brand. The ex plosion kills one of Boyd's political henchmen instead of the fearless editor. At the same time Boyd's daughter becomes desperately ill from tuber culosis. Finally, all his troubles un nerve Boyd and he reforms. A scene of Everytown a year later shows how the former boss has turned his abili ties to good account, even opening a tuberculosis sanatorium for working men and providing nurses and open air playgronds. The former boss's daughter has re covered and Brand and she are mar ried. ALL WILL RECOVER. T'iremcn Injured in Accident Thurs ,day Are Doing Well. K. E.

Large patch pocket. i London, June 18. That old expres ion "the din of battle," is dead. it s a blatter and crash, a split and screech, and "hell let loose' doesn't half describe the noise of combined rifle, machine gun, shell fire and bombs in this day and age," said a soldier back from the battlefield of northern France today. "If anyone could propertly describe a modern battle Dante's picture of Inferno would represent peace in con trast," he added, explaining the founds that the modern soldier's ear has come to recognize. "German fire sounds different from the British and there are a thousand different individual sounds to break the stillness.'- Distant individual fire represents the patting of clay with a spade; distant rapid fire reminds one of the purring of a powerful motor car. the German bullet 'cracks' and the British sounds like the bursting of a soft paper bag. Sometimes a German bullet richocheting in the sand 'bizzes;' sometimes its lightning flight sounds like a man half whis tl'ng. half hissing through his teeth. Glancing off metal it 'pings,' then 'screeches' until it stops. Passing close by a bullet gives a 'crack' and it may deafen the nearest ear for days. Like their rifle shots, the German machine guns sound less muffled than the Brit ish. They sound like the infinitely swift rapping of a door knocker. Ours might be likened to a carpet being beaten by very dexterous and energetic spring cleaners armed with canes. "The sounds of shell fire are varied. The German's 'pipe squeak' and some times scream 'Little Willie.' High ex plosive shells are fickle; sometimes they burst with a blinding flash and little sound and again they crack like a thunderbolt. Some shells 'whirtle' and some, pass through the air like moaning wind. Anti-aircraft guns 'ping-ping and the bursting of their shrapnel most often 'clatters,' but if it is lyddite it crashes like a collaps ing brick smoke stack. "Night sounds in the trenches are many and varied. A sentry's strained ears may catch the sound of shovel ing with spades and the tap of a mal let on wooden stakes. This comes when the enemy's trench is near and denotes that he is driving a sap, dig ging an advanced trench, or construct ing wire entanglements. Sometimes comes the whir of a dynamo. It is a sure sign that the enemy is working an electrical trench digger. If the trenches are close one may hear the movements of enemy reliefs or rein forcements behind their lines. It is generally possible to hear sounds of guns or transport being moved. On a quiet night this sound is audible for miles. It's the same with the human voice. The sentry is sometimes greet ed with good English from German trenches or with a song. The strange scared cries of flying lapwings, the mewing of homeless cats and the. whining of dogs are but few of the weird sounds that greet the lonely sen try at night. The novice has often been rudely scared by the snoring song of a soldier-pal afpeace with the whole world, the Germans included." COWHERD NEARlEATH Former Major of Kansas City Weaker of Rally.

Lieutenant Warneford was piloting tV.t- machine which had as a passenger Henry Beach N'eedham. the American writer, who also was killed. Lieuten ant Warneford and N'eedham fell from a height of 500 feet. The lieutenant had been spending a few days in Paris, where he came after his Zep pelin exploit to receive his decoration of the legion of honor. Machine Kxplodcd. According to a report received in Paris the accident resulted from an explosion in midair which caused Lieutenant Warneford to lose control, the machine crashing to earth. Needham's body was taken to the English hospital in Trianon palace, Versailles. He had been in Europe about four months, acting as corre spondent of magazines and a Xew York newspaper. He had received permission from the military authori ties to make a flight in order to get material for a story. His wife, who also is a writer, ac companied him during the early part of his trip abroad. Mrs. N'eedham sailed for America six weeks ago. rivginald A. J. Warneford, a young Canadian sub-lieutenant in the royal navy, suddenly acquired world-wide renown by destroying a Zeppelin over Belgium on June 7, this being the first time on record that a Zeppelin had been wrecked by an aviator in an aeroplane. .By a brilliant flight.

MAKES PORTER SMILE Washbtim College Student's Sugges tion lias Been Tried.. The suggestion made in a thesis by Clarance ilcCafferty, a student in Washburn college, that it would be well for the city to conserve the stable manure collected in the city and sell it to farmers instead of burning it at the city crematory, caused W. L- Por ter, city commissioner of parks, to smile and remark: "In the fir3t place the city has not burned any manure for a year. In the second place, we tried the plan sug gested. The manure was1 collected and saved and notices were inserted in the newspapers that anyone could have it who would haul it away. But we could not even give it away and the city was to the expense of hauling it away. Not having been able to give it away, I do not think the city would meet with much success in selling it," said Porter. PHONE LINES CRIPPLED Thursday's Storm Put 800 Instruments Out of Commission. A.

Rome, June 18. The Austrian fleet bombarded Fano, a noted Italian watering place on the Adriatic, this morning. An official statement from th-i ministry of marine says the dam age was "insignificant." The enemy warships evidently plan ned to damage the Kovenna-Ancor.a railway leading through Fano. They directed a number of shells in the di rection of the railway station, but the aim was poor and none of the explo sives reached their mark. Several shells fell in the neighborhood of churches and public buildings, but the slight damage done can easily be re paired. The people of Fano took to their cellars when the first shells began falling and. according to official re ports, there were no casualties. When the warships withdrew, the entire populace crowded into the open places, hoisting the tri-colors of Italy and cheering for the king. Fano is eight miles southeast of I the tiny republic of San Marino and j is the home of a famous old cathedral i and churches adorned with rich art treasures. It is enclosed by stone walls with a lofty bastioned front overlooking the sea. Tourists have visited the town principally to view the ruins of a triumphal arch erected to Augustus. The city itself has a population of about 12,000. j The Austrian naval base of Pola, i from which the attack probably was j directed, lies eighty-five miles north- east of Sano, across the Adriatic. DR. MEYER A STRANGER Von Bernstoi-ff IX-nics He Knows Aiiy body by That Xame. Washington. June 18. Count von Bernstorff, the German ambassador, today personally informed Secretary Lansing that neither he nor any mem ber of the embassy staff had any knowledge of a Dr. Alfred Meyer, said to have betn secretly in this eountry buying war supplies. Published reports have alleged that Meyer returned to Germpny under a safe conduct obtained for Dr. Anton Meyer-Gerhard by the United States, at the ambassador's request. The ambassador also assured Mr. Lansing that Dr. Meyer-Gerhard had never engaged in any work other than his mission for the German red cross. He made no request for an official in vestigation of the published charges. ROD FflRlMERICAN FIRM Cabinet Hears Concern Is Making Poisonous Cartridge. I Washington, June 18. The cabinet held a two hours' session today and discussed a variety of subjects, among them the Mexican situation and the charges of espionage on official mails between the United States and Europe. One subject discussed was the re ported manufacturing of cartridges advertised by a Cleveland concern to contain poisonous gases to cause much pain and to cause death within four hours. The position of the government in such cases is that where contributory violations of The Hague convention occur within the United States it will endeavor to stop them. The depart ment of commerce will conduct an in vestigation.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL FRIDAY EVENING, JUNE 18, 1915. 'CAUSE WES ON Equal Suffrage Makes Progress in 3Ianj Legislatures. Constitutional Amendments To Be Submitted in 7 States. BILL REVIVED IN WISCONSIN Mothers' Pensions in 8 Com r monwealths for First Time. SurTey of "ew Laws Shows Di Torce in Limelight. New, York, June 18. Equal suf frage and other legislation affecting women figured prominently this year In the discussions of a large majority of the state legislators. The sessions of most of them have now come to a close and a summary of their activi ties collated by the Associated Press discloses that the question of woman suffrage came up for deliberation in twenty-two states and that divorce laws, mothers' pensions, women po lice, minimum wage, eugenic marriage or other subjects relating to women were considered in twenty-eight states. The legislatures of seven states adapted resolutions whereby a consti tutional amendment giving women euual suffrage rights with men will be submitted to the people at the fall elections either this or next year. They are Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania in 1915; Io-va, South Dakota vnd "West Vir ginia in 1S16. Tennessee adopted a similar resolution, but it must also be passed by the next succeeding legisla ture before it can be submitted to the Totors. So did Arkansas, but the reso lution was ineffective, because of a provision, of the state constitution which forbids more than three con stitutional amendments to be sub mitted at one election and three had already been filed with the secretary of state. California adopted a resolution de claring that woman suffrage in that state had been an unqualified success. AU'bama will consider the question at an adjourned session to begin July 7. Defeat in Klcvcn States. In eleven states woman suffrage measures met defeat Connecticut, llelaware, Florida, Indiana, Michigan, New Mexico, North Carolina, North Dakota. Oklahoma, Texas. Vermont and "Wisconsin. Three votes defeated the measure in Indiana. It was passed by the senate with only three votes registered against it, but a mo tion in the house to call the bill out f committee failed to carry, 46 to 49. Three votes also killed the measure In the Texas legislature, where it was introduced in the house. A two thirds" majority, however, was re quired to pass it and the suffragist supporters claim a great gain. The resolution did not reach the senate. There was a bitter contest on the question in North Dakota, where, un daunted by the defeat of their cause at the general election last year, the suffrage adherents renewed the fight. In Delaware a proposed constitutional amendment was defeated decisively in both houses; in Florida in the lower house; in New Mexico and North Car olina it died in. committee. In Michi gan a proposed amendment to the constitution giving women the right to vote for presidential electors and all officers of educational nature was never reported out of the senate com mittee. The general assembly of Con necticut declined to send the measure to the next assembly for ratification. Revived in Wisconsin. The assembly of Wisconsin by a ma jority of eight votes killed on April 20 a bill for statewide referendum, but on Wednesday last the senate re vived the question by ordering a sim ilar measure engrossed by a vote of 16 to 13. The bill was not expected to come up for action in the assembly until next week or later. New Mexico, however, passed a law providing for the appointment of women on the governing boards of state institutions in the discretion of the governor. North Carolina enacted a, bill making women eligible to be come notaries in the state and giving them the right of petition in. certain Instances. Women may become no taries by a law passed also in Ten nessee and serve In that state on school boards. Mother's Pension Laws. Pensions for mothers came up for consideration in eighteen states. In eight Kansas. Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, New York, Oklahoma, Tennessee and Wyoming legislation for this purpose was enacted for the nrst time. In two Texas and West IVirginia mothers' pension measures were killed. In the rest the present laws were amended or amplified. The new Kansas statute fixes the maximum grant to needy mothers at $25 a month to be paid at the discre tion of county commissioners. The New Hampshire law limits payment to $10 a month for a dependent moth- A Message to Thin, Weak, Scrawny Folks An Easy Way to Gain 10 to 30 lbs. of Solid, Heahky, Permanent Flesh Thin, nervous, undeveloped men and women everywhere are heard to Bay, "I can't understand why I do not get fat. I eat plenty of good, nourishing food." The reason is JiiBt this: You cannot get fat, no matter bow much you eat, unless your digestive organs assimilate the fat making elements of yonr food Instead of passing them out through the body as waste. What is needed is a means of gently nrgiug the assimilative functions of the stomach and intestines to absorb the oils and fata and hand them over to the blood, where they may reach the starved, shrunken, run-down tissues and build them up. The thin person's body is like a dry sponge eager and hungry for the fatty materials of which it is being de prived by the failure of the alimentary caual to take them from the food. The best way to overcome this sinful waste of flesh building elements ami to stop the leakage of fats is to use Sargol. the recently discovered regenerative force that is recommended so highly by phy sicians here and abroad. Take a little Sargol tablet with every meal ami notice bow quickly your cheeks will out and rolls of firm, healthy flesh are deposited over your body, covering each bony angle and projecting point. Arnold Drug Co. and other good druggists have Sargol, or can get it from their wholesaler, and will refund your money if you are not satisfied with the gain in weight it pro duces as stated on the guarantee in each package. It Is inexpensive, easy to take and highlv efficient. fMtioii: While Sargol has produced remarkable results in overcoming nerv ous dyspepsia and general stomach troubles, it should not be taken uuless you an willing to gain ten pounds or more, for it is a Wonderful ftcsu-buildcr Adv. er having one child under 16 years and $5 for each additional child. The legislature appropriated $16,000 for the first two years of the law's opera tion. The New York statute applies to widows with a child or children under 16 who will be allowed the same amount as it would cost the state to support them. The Montana law ap plies to mothers with children under 14 and whose husbands are confined to a state institution or are physically incompetent; the Nevada law to wid ows only. In Oklahoma, both widows and mothers whose husbands are in sane or prisoners are eligible to the benefits of the law, the compensation being $10 a month for one child under 14 and $5 a month for each additional. The Wyoming law is similar. The law in Tennessee applies in counties of 50, 000 population or more and having juvenile courts. The act was not made mandatory. Sixteen is the age limit and $10 and $5 the compensa tion. Washington passed a bill mak ing her mothers' pension provision somewhat less liberal. Six Act on Divorce Laws. California. Colorado, Connecticut, North Carolina, Nevada and West Vir ginia acted on divorce laws, California amplified hers so that judges were granted power to call in the district attorney where fraud or collusion is suspected. Colorado amended hers so that a decree shall not be issued until six months after the divorce has been granted. Connecticut added incurable insanity to the list of grounds for di vorce before the courts. Previously this cause had to be taken to the leg islature. North Carolina passed a nseasure changing from ten to two years the period required to establish desertion, but the act met such a storm of protest that it was repealed the next day. Nevada returned to her law the six months' residence clause. West Virginia created in each county the office of "divorce commissioner," with power to investigate divorce suits, appear at trials, examine witnesses and defend the interests of the state to prevent fraud and collusion. The eenate of Indiana passed a eugenic marriage measure, but it was defeated in the house. Legislation to promote healthy marriages and check the social evil was enacted in Vermont. The law requires all physicians to re port cases of social diseases to the state board of health which is em powered to prescribe quarantine regu lations. I.aIor Laws for Women. Labor laws for women were enacted in Kansas, Maine, Massachusetts and Wyoming. Maine wrote into her stat utes a fifty-four hours a week law for both women and boys under sixteen working in mills, factories and laun dries. It stipulates that such em pjoyees shall not work more than nine hours a day unless for the sole pur pose of permitting a shorter schedule for one day in the week. Massachu setts legislated to prohibit the work ing of women and children overtime for the purpose of making up for the time lost on a legal holiday. Wyo ming enacted for her working women an eight-hour day; and both maxi mum hour and minimum wage laws for women were passed by Kansas. A commission to investigate a pro posed minimum wage law for women was created in Ohio. A bill providing for minimum wage for women in Michigan was killed in com mittee, although the commission ap pointed by Governor Ferris two years ago to investigate the subject, return ed a strong report in favor of the en actment of such a lew. New Mexico passed an act increas ing the property rights of the wife and Wyoming and Idaho in this particular placed wife and husband on an equal footing. New Jersey authorized the appoint ment of women policemen. Oregon forbade discrimination between male and female public school teachers in the payment of salaries. An attempt in California to enact a law to forbid women to shake dice for money or prizes was defeated. So was a bill providing for women jurors.

Munich, the greatest beer drinking center in Germany, has been compelled sharply to curtail the consumption of beer, owing to the expropriation by the military authorities of a large part of the product of the breweries. The amount of beer now available for pub lic use Is only one-third of the ordi nary supply. A number of the famous beer gar dens are new closing at 7 o'clock in the evening, owing to the shortage of beer. Some of these places are en couraging their guests to call for lemonade as a substitute for beer. CITY IN GOOD SHAPE. Comfortable Cash Balance in Nearly All Departments. The end of the first five months of the year 1915 finds comfortable bal ances for the remainder of the year in most of the funds set aside for the maintenance of the various de partments of the city. The milk in spection department, however, can scarcely be described as in "comfort able circumstances," for although seven months of the year ere yet to be met, more than half the money for that department has already been spent, and as It has been wisely and economically expended, it Is hard to figure out where a retrenchment can be made. W. H. Wasson. city commissioner of finance, has issued statements to the heads of each city department, showing the totals of May bills and the balances remaining in each fund on which to do business for the re mainder of the year. The statements show: Mayor Jay E. House Total fire budget allowance. $76,736.11; May bills. $5,482.66; balance. $50,574.79. Total police budget, $47,008.70; May bills. $3,761.27; balance, $29,210.63.

"Above the Clouds" Motor Trips To Be Popular This Summer. RAILWAYS ARE BOOSTING IT Passenger Departments Dis tributing Colorado Literature. earth, so the interesting booklet of tho highway states. Local railway offices have a supply of literature about the automobile trip. K. A. Sunderlin of Colorado Springs, is president of the company, and X. L. Drew, traffic manager. BKTTElt STOCK IXR FARMERS. Other Items of General Interest i in the Traffic World. 'I ri i Railways which operate between j Kansas. points and the Colorado j resorts, namely, the Rock Island, Union Pacific, Santa Fe, Burlington and Missouri Pacific, are all furnish I ing prospective tourists with informa tion about the new Pikes Peak auto highway. I .Several years ago the country was startled to learn that an automobile had ascended to the top of the peak over the discarded Cascade wagon i road. In this connection, it is inter csting to note that a Topeka machine was one of the pioneers in this en deavor. Possibly a dozen cars in as many years have reached the summit j house. For several months, however, j big gangs of workmen have been en gaged in rejuvenating this highway and this week the road was opened to i all self-propelled vehicles from Colo I rado Springs, Manitou or Cascade, to I the highest point on the famous Colo rado peak. I Before the days of the Cog road, 1 there were two principal routes to the summit. Both took two days or more ifor the round trip. One was from Col orado Springs, via the Seven Lakes, I by burro. The other was by carriage i or horseback over the Cascade trail. And beginning this week, big tour i ing cars, small roadsters, racing cars, in fact" every manner of automobile, 'will be able to ascend this great moun I tain. The highway is 17 miles in length land 20 feet wide, attaining an eteva Ition of 14.109 feet above sea level at jlhe summit. The greater portion of it is an easy grade of but ten per cent, I or 528 feet to the mile. I It is a masterpiece of mountain j road engineering, and was constructed j on the "safety first" principle, with wide turnout or view stations at many places en route. Automobile supply i stations are located at convenient points. The highway will be open to all gas. steam or electric vehicles. Cer I tificates will be issued at the summit i to those driving their own cars, cer j tifying that they did so. A large fleet I of new seven and twelve-passenger j touring cars will be provided by the Pike's Peak Automobile company, for transportation of passengers from j Colorado Springs and Manitou to the summit and return, leaving on con venient morning and afternoon sched I ules: also for sunset, sunrise and moon i light trips five hours being ample I time for the round trip. The moon light trip undoubtedly will be a favor ite for the young honeymoon couple. or the sentimental young man or woman. Motoring into and above the clouds to the top of America's most famous mountain will be a "pleasure ride de luxe" for the motorist and will afford a scenic trip unequaled elsewhere on Railroad Co-operating With. Breeders Along Tbis line. Through the efforts of the live stock and agricultural department of the Xashvllle, Chattanooga St. Louis railway there has been placed with the farmers in the several counties along its lines within the past three years more than 2,500 head of pure bred live stock. This has been ac complished through the co-operation of prominent breeders, the road fur nishing cheap rates to farmers desir ing to take advantage of these sales, and also reduced freight rates for the movement of cattle from place of sale to the purchaser's home. This fall several sales have been planned for the introduction of Short horn and Aberdeen-Angus breeds, and consignments will be offered from the American Shorthorn Breeders' asso ciation and the American Aberdeen Angus association. These sales in the past have created considerable inter est among the farmers who realize the benefits that will come to them through the introduction of pure-bred live stock and improved farm condi tions, along vhich line the railroad has done, and is doing, a great work.

ARTHUR KANE RETURNS Big Movie Man Is Back on His Old Stamping Ground. Arthur Kane, one of the leading film exchange men in the country, de cided to shake the dust of Broadway from his shoes for the summer, and is now enjoying the "simple life"' on a friend's farm north of Topeka. Mr. Kane denies that he is looking over the film situation of the country. He thinks it has been done to death. While he expects to visit many ex hibitors and exchange men, scores of whom in all sections of the country he counts as his friends, he has noth ing to sell them. Kane was at one time a Topeka newspaper man. He was a reporter on the State Journal and city editor of the Topeka Capital. Larter he was with Roy Crawford in the show busi ness and in recent years has held sev eral important positions with leading film companies. In the Moving Picture World, Mr. Kane is quoted as follows: "I ought to get the 'freedom or the city," what ever that is, or the best cell In town upon reaching Topeka. That was where most of my work as a newspa per man was done, and things are run by four former newspaper pals as fol lows: Arthur Capper, governor of Kansas; Jay E. House, mayor of To peka; Li. J-i. Kiene, sheriff of Shawnee county, and Harvey Parsons, chief of police. Perhaps, also, they might listen to reason' regarding censorship there." SANTA FE NOTES.

Even if Kansas is getting more water than she knows what to do with, there will be no flood as extensive as that Xoah experienced.

About twenty minor rate cases are being disposed of today by the pub lic utilities commission in a field day session on small complaints.

In that manner they will be able to dispose of a num ber of small cas?s at one session and will prevent the interference of minor cases with the more important work of the commission.

THE TOPEKA r ATT.Y STATE JOURNAL-FRIDAY EVENING, JUNF 18, 1915. 1 1 MRS. REED LOSES Widow of Col. Geo. W. Keed Is Defeated at Law. Judgment for $10,000 Reversed by U. S. Court of Appeals. ACTION AGAINST THE B. 0. Was Injured In a Railroad Wreck in 1901. The Defendant Pleads the Statute of Limitation. Another chapter was added to years of bitter litigation in Missouri, In diana. Kentucky Illinois and Ohio federal courts Thursday afternoon in the damage suit of Mrs. Georsre W. Keed, 1133 Harrison street, widow of the late Col. George V. Reed, against the Baltimore and Ohio Railway company, when the United States court of appeals at Cincinnati refused to uphold a judgment obtained by Mrs. Reed for $10,000 against the railroad In the Ohio district court. Trouble began between the plaintiff and defendant in the suit in 1901. Mrs. Reed, accompanied by her hus band, was enroute from Chicago to Boston on a Baltimore and Ohio train. The train was wrecked at Milford Junction, Ind., the petition claimed as the result of running too heavy a train over a fresh track. Both Colonel Reed and his wife were injured Mrs. Reed the worse. Her shoulder was badly hurt and it was claimed that she was permanently injured. Sh3 was taken to a hospital and the rail road, s he claimed, promised to pay her expenses and damages. Recovering sufficiently to be able to travel she went to Maine and spent several months there. The matter ran along for several months without any settle ment. Finally Mrs. Reed retained David Overn.eyer, formerly a local attorney and now dead. The original petition was filed in St. Louis and was for $25,000 damages. Overmeyer failed to obtain service on the railroad com pany in St. Louis and he was forced to withdraw the petition. Similar at tempts in Indiana, Kentucky and Illi nois failed, owing to thi fact that the attorney could not obtain service. H)ur Years to Obtain Service. Finally, four years after the acci dent. Overmeyer. with his corps of as sistants, managed to obtain service on the railroad company in the Cincinnati federal district court. By that time the case was successfully filed In June, 1903 the Indiana limitation statutes covering the time that a suit must be filed after a cause of action had outlawed the case. Damage suits in Indiana must be filed within two years after the cause of action. Overmeyer undertook to avoid the limitation statute by bringing allega tions of a breach of contract on the part of the railroad. The petition con tended that when a railroad sold a ticket to a person it contracted to conduct him or Her to.thedestina.tion without injury. Case Is Appealed. The district court upheld Over meyer's contentions and returned a verdict in favor of Mrs. Reed for $10, 000. The railroad carried the case to the court of appeals. Before the ap peal could be heard there were several delays. Among some of the delays were the deaths of Overmeyer, of the railroad attorney, the claim agent who handled the case for the railroad and the railroad physician. Many of those who were connected with the suit are now dead. The suit was again held up by a fire which destroyed records of the case when the Baltimore Ohio railroad offices were destroyed at Baltimore. With the death of Overmeyer, Major A. M. Harvey, another Topeka lawyer, as sumed charge of the case for the plaintiff. The case was briefed and argued in the court of appeals at Cin cinnati last December. Thursday afternoon Major Harvey received a telegram stating that the court of appeals had handed down judgment against the plaintiff. Her prayer for damages, the court of ap peals held, was barred by the statute of limitations. STATCNEEDSMfJNEY, Drafts for $168,261 Made on the County Treasurers. With the drawing of $168,261 from the county treasurers today, the state will have used 60 per cent of the money levied in 1914 for state ex penses during the current year. The drafts sent today from the office of W. E. Davis, state auditor, are for 5 per cent of the total 1914 levy for state purposes. Once this year the state dodged the necessity of a monthly drawing on the county treasurers. That was when funds from the Insurance department provided almost enough money to take care of the state's business for thirty days. Previous to this time, the state had drawn 5 5 per cent of the money available for 1915 purposes. The new taxes will not be at the dis posal of the state until December. Un til that time, there will be a total fund of $1,344,088 available, Independent of the $168,261 covered In today's drafts.

J' One of the women's clubs interested itself in the matter of hotel inspection in Kansas. As an outcome of the pro posal to abolish the office of hotel in spector, the Good Government club, drew up and unanimously passed the following resolution at a meeting Thursday: "Remembering that health com missions everywhere are now study ing the housing proposition in rela tion to health and the study of con tagious and infectious diseases, and the welfare commission has recognized the relation of housing to the morals o the people, and further remem bering that good hotels are the best advertising matter to other states and other communities, the Good Govern ment club, in informal session as sembled, does most respectfully rec ommend to Governor Capper, that the office of state hotel inspector be giv en another trial under the manage ment of a competent, economical and energetic housewife. We urge this because we believe that the office is a credit to the state in that it can be made the exponent of the state prog ress along the lines of sanitation, health and proper housing. We rec ognize in it the right of the traveling public to be properly housed and cared for in the hotels which must be their temporary homes. We further believe that under the supervision of such a woman the office could read ily be made self-sustaining. "The club submits this resolution to the governor through a committee, the members of which are Mrs. Lee Monroe and Mrs. Lillian Mitchner." The club has interested itself in the welfare of the women at the Critten ton Home, and they discussed the matter of asking the city commission er of water to have the mains extend ed so that city water can be placed in the institution. As the weather be comes warmer the need for plenty of good water is more urgent, as a mat ter of health and cleanliness. In response to a request through the State Journal, nine taby buggies have been given for use at the Home These gifts are making the care of the young children at the home much easier and better. It enables the babies to be out of doors in all suitable weather and it makes it possible for the mothers to care for them when it would be im possible for them to carry the babies about their work. WHITMAN ON TOUR. New York Governor Returning East on Speech Making Trip. MAPLE LEAF SUES Asks for Injunction Against the Kaw Drainage Board. Seeks to Prevent ithe Enforce ment of Board's Orders. A bill in equity in a suit .to enjoin the Kaw Valley Drainage board of Wyandotte county, Kansas, from en forcing a number of orders to com pel the "defendant to remove alleged bridge obstructions in the Kaw river at Kansas City, Kan., was filed today with Mort Albaugh, clerk of the Unit ed States district court, by the Chicago and Great Western railway. The orders were issued during the recent flood scare and gave the rail road five days tc begin the removal of the obstructions, named in the or ders as loose rock and other materials about the east end of the girder span of the Chicago and Great Western bridge. The bridge is near the Kaw river mouth. The orders state that the obstruc tions are within the harbor lines. In their petition to restrain the orders the railroad contends that the drain age board has no right to make the orders. The Kaw river, contends the plaintiff, is a navigable stream and the federal government has exclusive jurisdiction over its control and uses. The railroad also claims that the crushed stone and other material men tioned in the orders are necessary to protect the bridge against the waters of the Kaw. An order, temporarily lestralning the board from enforcing the orders, haa been issued by Judge Pollock. The case will come before Judge Pol lock for hearing June 24.

Rules in Kansas. E. L. Bradley and Woman Ar rested on Charge. The opening, gun in a war recently inaugurated against violators of inter state commerce commission rules gov erning the issuance and obtaining of railroad passes was fired Thursday evening when E. L. Bradley, a rail road fireman, and Miss Eftie Nichal- ino were arrested at Parsons, Kan by federal authorities on a charge of conspiracy to illegally obtain a rail road pass from the Missouri, Kansas and Texas railway. Complaints made against Bradley and others who it is expected will be arrested soon caused Fred Robertson, United States distrist attorney, and his assistants to launch the crusade. Ac cording to federal officials, Bradley i3 a married man with a wife living in t. Louis. On April 11 he appeared in the offices of the railroad and made req uisition for a pass from St. Louis to Parsons for himself and his wife, Mrs. E. L. Bradley. Federal officials claim, that Bradley did not transport his wife on the pass but took the -other wo man," Miss Effie Nichalino, from St. Louis to Parsons. When hs obtained the pass from the railroad he had been in the company's employ about a month. According to a telegram received this morning by Fred Robertson, both the man and the woman have given their confession of the violation of law in writing. They face a maximum penalty of two years in the federal penitentiary or a fine of $10,000 each or both fine and imprisonment. The minimum penalty under federal con spiracy statutes is left to the discre tion of the court. In addition to the Bradley case oth er similar complaints are being inves tigated. One of the complaints is very much like the one at Parsons. In this case the pass was fraudulently obtained from theSanta Fe railroad.

A prominent Wichita woman who was a visitor in Topeka last week, dined at the Country club, and the conversation at dinner turned upon the ways of getting the most enjoy ment out of country club life. She said that in Wichita Friday was chosen as the special day for the wom en at the club house. A particularly good luncheon is served on that day, and all the women of the club could meet for an afternoon at cards or thimbles or both. Occasionally the young women furnish an entertain ment of music, dramatic readings, or aesthetic dancing. That the women enjoy meeting from time to time in an informal way, was amply proven by the attendance at the all-day meetings of the federation held once each month throughout the winter. The sessions sometimes began as early as 9 o'clock and continued until late in the afternoon. There was an interval after luncheon for the most informal sort of a reception, and every meeting was well attended. Many of the leading society women at tended the meetings who had not pre viously been especially interested in club work. Already the women of that circle, many of whom are Coun try club people, are beginning to miss the pleasure of those meetings in a social way, and some of them had thought with favor of a "woman's day" at the Country club.

First Official Communication on Long Suspected Outrages. "Washington, June 18. Formal no tice that United States mail pouches destined for Sweden had been broken open in England and their contents tampered with has been submitted to the state department by V. A. F. Ekren, the Swedish minister, with a request for appropriate action. Violations Pointed Out. The minister called at the depart ment and delivered to Secretary Lans ing a letter written on instructions from his government, reciting in stances of interference with mail for Sweden and pointing out that such acts were in violation of the provisions of the world postal convention and of other treaty stipulations. The letter stated that the seals of mail bags were broken, that letters were opened and censored and that one registered unit was retained. Two Specific Cases. Two specific cases were mentioned. 'one involving mail sent on the Ameri can steamer Iv'ew York, when she left on May 29, and the other pouches carried by the British steamer Adri atic, which sailed on May 2 7. Whether the piece of mail matter shown by a comparison of receipts to be missing was an official communi cation has not been revealed, but it is known that diplomatic correspondence was sent from Washington on the Adriatic. While various reports have been in circulation as to the interference with mail since the outbreak of hostili ties in Europe, the protest from Swe den is the first official communica tion on the subject. "thThoboTews." Issue of Paper Falls Into Hands of Wichita Police. Wichita, Kan., June 18. Andrew Blase, news agent for the Hobo News, has fallen into the hands of the police. He was placed in jail for in vestigation when Detective Moore found in his possession two dozen rings, ten new briar pipes, ten pocket knives, several sets of ehirt buttons and links and dice. Blase said that the jewelry and other stuff were his stock in trade. He offered this to hoboes for their sub scriptions to the Hobo News, he de clared. He gave the police a copy of the News. The police perused it with interest. WHAT TO DO FOR ITCHING SKINS Eczema, ringworm and other itch ing, burning skin eruptions are so easily made worse by Improper treatment that one has to be verv careful. There is one method, how ever, that you need not hesitate to use, even on a baby's tender skin that is, the resinol treatment. Resinol is the prescription of a Baltimore doctor, put up in the form of resinol ointment and resinol soap. This proved so remarkably successful that thousands of other physicians have been prescribing it constantly for 20 years. Resinol stops itching instantly, and almost always heals the eruption quickly and at little cost. Resinol ointment and resinol soap can be bought at any druggist's and are not at all expensive. Adv. WHEN you are ready to do any painting", do a little figuring; here's an example: If painting costs two or three times as much as the i paint and one paint goes j two or three times as far as another, how much are I those two paints worth? The one paint is Devoe I Lead-and-Zinc goes farth- er, takes fewer gallons, I lasts longer than any other paint; there are a lot of others. C. M. HILL SON AGENCY 826 Kansas Ave. Phone 821 M. 2 SOAP IS BAD FOR THE HAIR Soap should be used very spar inly, if at allj 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, and 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 teaspoonfuls 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 lather, which rinses out easily, re moving 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. It contained "health hints for hoboes," "protests against conditions," reports on the Boston rally of hoboes, on their Baltimore convention, poems on "Us, the Hoboes," editorials on "Mothers," and against work, letters to the editor from "gaycats" on the road and a society column. WHY CHILDREN LEAVE SCHOOL. Dr. Goddard Explains to Normal Sum mer School Kids Know Too Much. Emporia, Kan.. June 18. Speaking on defectives and tnose "born short" Dr. H. H. Goddard, of Vineland, N. J., foremost American authority, told the summer school at Emporia State Nor mal that sometimes the pupil knows more than the teacher. "The leaving school problem has for a long time been one that has attracted the at tention of school authorities," said Dr. Goddard. "Apparently through recent studies in the line of mental defectives one of the very frequent causes has never been recognized and that is to put it in a rather peculiar way, those children know more than their teach ers. They somehow recognize they cannot learn and so leave school. Their teachers may not have discov ered it but they nave reached the point where anything more is uninter esting to them. They do not see the need. They have reached the limit of their mental capacity. They are filled up. They cannot understand anything beyond. Usually they begin to fail. You will generally find their last year a failure. When compulsory educa tion laws are made and enforced you compel some who have not enough in telligence to reach the third grade to stay in school and either be in the third grade three or four years or pro mote them on their height." Dr. Goddard is demonstrating the use of intelligence tests to students of the summer school, using children from the elementary training school. AGGIE STUDENTS IN OPERA. Show Good Training in Final Event, "Pirates of Penzance.' Manhattan. ,Kan., June 18. The work of the music department of the Kansas State Agricultural college closed for the year with a production of Gilbert and Sullivan's comic opera, "The Pirates of Penzance," given by the college choral union under the di rection of Olof Valley, professor of music. The melodies of the popular opera were given in spirited fashion in the auditorium before a large audi ence, many of whom were commence ment visitors. Special credit is to be given Professor Valley for the fine work done by the choruses, in which amateur productions of opera usually iau snort, out in wmcn the college or ganization especially excelled. Quick response to the conductor's baton, good attack, well sustained tempo, properly observed shading and cli maxes, effective ensemble work, oar- ticularly in the finales, contributed to mane tne performance a marked suc cess. IMPROVING THE TOWN. Reading Builds School House, Light Plant and Paves Streets. Emporia, June 18. An electric light plant, a new street lighting sys tem, a new $17,000 school house and lights along the town park, are four improvements being made at Read ing this spring.
