WasliiiiKton, July That Gorman Ambassador A n Hern storH suggested to Secretary Lan sing today a plan that he bclieies will serie as an filtering wedge for peace's restoration in Kuroe, was conrirmrd this afternoon on reliable authority. Washington, July 16. Count yon Bernstorff, the German ambassador, told Secretary Lansing today he be lieved the German reply to the last American note on submarine warfare presented opportunity for settlement of the controversy by further diplo matic negotiations. The ambassador conferred with Lansing an hour. In the absence of President Wilson, Secretary Lansing was unable to in form the ambassador what course the Vnited States would pursue in its next note, but he heard with much interest Count Bernstorff's explana tion of the purpose of the German government to satisfy public opinion at home on the maintenance of sub marine warfare, and at the same time to maintain friendly relations with the United States. No More Outrages on Neutrals. The ambassador personally is con vinced there will be no repetition of the Lusitania disaster, and that Ger man submarines now are exercising great precaution to avoid incidents which might inflame public opinion in the United States. With that idea in mind, he -urged the United States take advantage of the intimation in Berlin's reply that Germany would be willing to have the entire question of freedom of the sea iCoDiiliutd on t'aite 'l wo.) MRS STAND PAT British Officials Pin Faith to Today's Conference. David Lloyd-George May Go Into Welsh Fields. London, July 16. The South Wales miners today are showing an unbroken front in conformity with the resolu tion passed at the meeting of delegates at Cardiff yesterday, when it was decided to reject the recommendation of the executive committee that the men return to work. Even the men in one district who last night decided to resume work reversed their decision and not a pick is moving. An improvement in the situation, however, is expected as a result of mass meetings in the various districts today and the conferences of Walter Kunciman, the president of the board of trade, with representatives of the miners and the pit owners. The men's leaders, who throughout have opposed the strike, are inclined to the view that a resumption of work, may be expected Monday and that the? government's prompt action in setting up a general munitions tribunal for Wales and Monmouthshire is thought likely to help to bring about a set tlement. Should the Runciman conference to day not turn out favorably. David Lloyd-George, the ministe of muni tions, possibly will visit the trouble district. His influence with the men in previous disputes has been very effective In the meantime perfect peace reigns in the coal fields. French Trawler Sunk; 10 Drown. Calais, July 16. Ten of the crew of the French trawler Nieuport lost their lives when the vessel was mined and sunk off this port yesterday. PRESIDENT WILSOX ALWAYS IS CLOSELY GUARDED NOW. Windsor, Vt.. July 16. Few per sons realize today, not even the na tives of this section, how earefullv the president was guarded on his recent visit here. It was officiallv denied that, any extra or unusual precautions were taken, the third time the president has occupied "Hanakenden House" as a summer residence. But there was a ung army of secret service men on guard day and night. "S. S." as the secret service is known headquarters were main tained in a room in the villaaa postoffice in this city. Private telephones connected the presi dent's home and the secret service operatives also had a private phone system. They worked in shifts, taking turns patrolling the grounds of the Harlakenden estate durin the night. The secret service men had t.pe cial automobiles to follow the president on all his drives throuth the surrounding mountain country. "Joe" Murphy sat in the presi dent's own car and another loaded with. operatives trailed closely that containing the chief executive. On the country drives, no automobile or team was allowed to nass the president from behind. This rule, while well known in Washington) was quickly learned by persons driving vehicles in this section. RAIL HEAD REFUSES $250,000 A YEAR TO MAKE WAR MUNITIONS Chicago, July 16. Samuel Morse Felton, president of the Chicago Great Western railway and re ceiver and president of the Pere Marquette line, has refused a sal ary of $250,000 a year to superin tend making war munitions for Russia, according to the Chicago Herald today. The puper understands Felton was offered a two-year contract to construct the Baldwin locomotive works' new $2,500,000 plant and later the management of it during the manufacture of $80,000,000 worth of war munitions for the Russian government. BIG FLOODAT K. C. River, at High Mark of Last Month, Still Rises. More Rain Will Fore Stage to Thirty Feet. Kansas City, Mo., July 16. Kansas City today faced a serious flood situ ation, according to announcement hy the local weather bureau. At noon today the Missouri river here had reached twenty-seven feet, the high water mark of last month. when residents and business houses in the lowlands were forced to move to high ground. The river was fast ris ing and should there be continued rains the weather bureau announced the river here probably would go to 30 feet. Should the thirty foot stage be reached, the big packing house and wholesale district in the bottoms prob ably would be inundated. Already miles of lowlands have been flooded and truck farmers forced to leave heir homes. Railroad service both east and west is badly crippled. Bridges Swept Out. St. Joseph, Mo., Julx 16. Although there was more rain in the flood- stricken district of northwest Missouri this morning, it was not heavy and the high water situation was generally im proved. This county was hard hit last night when flood waters from above carried out two big bridges on One Hundred and Two river, several miles east of St. Joseph. The railroad situation north and east of St. Joseph is deplorable. Train service on some roads is entirely abandoned and on the others sched ules are demoralized as a result of de- touring to avoid water and washouts. It is likely that regular trai.n service on .ri number of, C, H Q. branch lines will not be' resumed for weeks. Th& Santa Fe's line east is in bad con ditions and other roads have suffered greatly. The damage to the railways Continued on Page Two. IS SOAKED AGAIN Raw Valley Comes In for An other Drenching. All the Streams Are on the Rise. Again the Kaw valley has received soaking rains which ranged from .33 of an inch at Topeka to 1.40 inches at Wamego and 3.40 inches at Clay Center. The rain came early this morning, the heavy precipitation be ing confined largely to the Kaw water shed. The Kaw river is expected to begin to rise at Topeka by tonight and Saturday the stage will be at least eighteen feet, according to the local weather man. All the leading Kaw tributaries show a rise today. The Smoky Hill at Abilene was 13.4 feet as against 13.2 Thursday. At Blue Rapids the Blue iwfitty-iour nour rise oi o.o feet, the stage being 20 feet. Bank full stage is 21 feet. The Republican at Clay Center reached a stage of 19.8, feet today, a rise of 3.5 feet since Thursday. The bank full stage is 18 feet. The situation at Kansas City is serious. The stage of the Missouri river at that place today wa? 26.9 feet, whereas bank full stage is but 22 feet. The Kaw at Wamego showed a rise of but 1.7 feet in twentv-four hours. The stage of the Kaw at Topeka to day was 15.8 feet, a twenty-four hour fall of 2.6 feet. The rain at Topeka began at 5:30 o'clock and continued until 7:30. The minimum temperature was 6 7 degrees, or one degree below normal. The forecast calls for partly cloudy weather tonight and Saturday with the probability of showers. The next forty days should be fair if there is anything to the old belief that the weather on St. Swithin's Day July 15 is a sample of that which will prevail in the days to follow. As no rain fell in the twenty-four hours ending at twelve o'clock Thursday night, the next forty days should be dry. St. Swithin was the Bishop of Win chester, England. He died in 862. The weather has been comparative ly pleasant today. The wind was blow ing five miles an hour from the east this afternoon. "Sunny" Flora, the weather man. stated this afternoon that a near bank full river stage is expected at Topeka by Saturdav evening, possibly 20 feet. Bank full stage is 21 feet. The hourly readings: 7 o'clock 67 11 o'clock 78 69 12 o'clock CI 73 1 o'clock. 82 76 2 o'clock 82 8 o'clock 9 o'clock 10 o'clock The Kaw began to rise ;his morn ings The stage was 16.4 this after noon, a rise of .6 of a foot since 7:30 o'clock. Fear Ixss or Ijfc In Ohio. Kenton, O., July 16. The Scioto river was within fifteen inches of the 1913 flood stage here this morning, and still rising, as the result of heavy rains last night. One hundred fam ilies have been rescued by boat since 3 o'clock this morning. The town of Foraker on the Scfoto marsh is under water caused by a break in the river bank. It was feared lives may have been lost there. I U-51 DESTROYED Cnder-Sea Terror Reported Sunk hy Russian Warships. Intrepid Divers Meet Death in the Black Sea. LONG A SCOURGE OF ALLIES Eluded Blockade, Passing Thru Strait of Gibraltar. Credited With Bagging Many, Including Ship Majestic. London, July 16. The German sub marine U-51 has been sunk in the Black sea by Russian warships, ac cording to information received from Varna, a Bulgarian port on the Black sea, by the Athens correspondent of the Exchange Telegraph company. The submarine U-51 gained fame by- eluding the British blockade and pass ing through the strait of Gibraltar. It left W llhelmshaven, the great German base, to operate against the allied fleet in the Dardanelles, and was reported to have been successful in its mission. The U-51 has been credited with sink- HOW ing several vessels belonging to the allies, including the British battleship Majestic. The British blockading fleet off Gi braltar was reported to have been warned of the approach of the U-51, but failed to catch the underwater craft, which went from Gibraltar to the Dardanelles, where she did much to prevent the allies' warships from co-operating with the land forces on the Gallipoli peninsula. Later the U-51 passed through the Sea of Mar mora and reported to the German commander at Constantinople. If the report of her destruction in the Black sea is true, she evidently went from the Turkish capital through the Bosphorus, probably to operate against the Russian Black sea fleet.

Frank Repetto was hanged here today for the murder of Charles Masters, his cell mate, at the penitentiary a year ago. BAD BOYSJN CITY Only Eight Per Cent of Delin quents From the Country. Poor Homes and Environment Chief Contributing Causes. SAME IS TRUE OF THE GIRLS Wyandotte County Leads State in umber of Incorrigibles. Big Majority in Industrial School There for Theft. Ninety-two per cent of the bad boys of the state come from the towns and cities, while the rural districts con tribute one-twelfth of the incorrigible and delinquent boys of the state. That is the statement of J. W. Howe, sec retary of the state board of control, who bases his assertion on figures from the records of the Boys' Indus trial school at Topeka. Following out his line of argument, Howe declares that most of the wayward girls were sent to Beloit from the large towns. Records from the report of the Boys' Industrial school for the year WE? ending July 1, show that 268 boys sent to the school during the year, lived in cities or large towns of the state. The country districts contributed but 24 boys to the state institution. A study of home conditions of the boys sent to the state school, shows that 240 of the 292 inmates received last year came from poor home con t Continued on Page Two.) BIG WARSHIPSlNDITCH Missouri. Ohio and Wisconsin, With Cadets, Navigate Canal. Panama, July 1 6. The Panama canal was usad today for the first time by large battleships of the United States navy when the Missouri, Ohio' and Wisconsin, carrying naval cadets from Annapolis to San Francisco, i made the trip from the Atlantic to the Pacific. The battleships compose the academy practice squadron. The squadron left Cristobal at 10 o'clock this morning and was sched uled to reach Gaillard cut and pass the slide there about 2 o'clock this afternoon. The battleships are due to reach Balboa, the Pacific terminal of the canal, at 6 p. m. The Panama, canal has been used by warships before. The Peruvian gun boat Teniente Rodriguez passed through the waterway on August 17, last year, and a flotilla of American submarines on February 25. of this year, navigated the canal during prac tice. Tallion Loaned to Indians. Sioux City, la. July "16. Before leaving here Thursday night John Savage, owner of the Topeka club, announced that "Zeke" Tallion. who has been playing the role of utility fman with the Savages this season. had been loaned to Josh Clark. Tal lion is a classy fielder, but has not been hitting up to his standard with the Topeka club'. NEW YORK. GAINS A HALF MILLION. New York, July 16. New York's population increased by almost half a million in the last five years. To be exact, the actual growth of the greater city from the day the national census takers finished their work in 1310 until June 15 last, when the state enum erators started in, was 478, 72S, an increase of something more than 10 per cent. New York had a population of 5,245,812 on June 15, as compared with 4,766,883 in 1910. The fig ures in Brooklyn may be increased by about 5,000. NEW U. S. PLUNGER American Submarine Can Cross Ocean and Return. ?iavy Plans to Adopt New Long Cruise Type. New York, July 16. A submarine that can cross the Atlantic ocean and return to New York without stopping I for fuel is soon to be added to the United States navy. The new boat, the G-3 is undergoing final tests" at the plant of the Lake Torpedo Boat company of Bridgeport, Conn., its builders. It has proved a cruising radius of 5,500 miles at a speed of 11 knots an hour. At a lower rate of speed it can go even farther without replenishing its supply of fuel. Seven other submarines are under construction at the Lake Torpedo Boat company's yards. They are even more up-to-date than the G-3. They have the same wide cruising radius. All the new boats burn heavy oil. They are equipped with an imported Swiss engine. The designs have been secured, however, and hereafter tire entire submarine can be made in this country. The United States govern ment is keeping the specifications of the new engines a secret. "The new submarines," Simon Lake said today, "will be a match for any in the world." "Could these new submarines warn a merchant vessel before firing on it?" Mr. Lake was asked. "No," he replied. "Their maximum speed under water is a little more than 10 knots an hour. The Lusitania could make 25 knots an hour easily. A bat tleship can make more than 20 easily. Some torpedo boat destroyers make well over 30. A submarine obviously cannot compete with them in speed under water. And if the submarine comes to the surface, it will probably be hit. So the submarine has no choice but to fire first." DECIDE GAS CASE Utilities Commission Prepares Rate Case Opinion. Determine Rate Increase Appli cation Late Today. The public utilities commission will, late this afternoon, announce a de cision in the application of the Kan sas Natural Gas company, through its receivers, for an increase in rates. The opinion was written by Judge C. F. Foley. Application for an increase in rates was filed with the commission in April. Testimony was taken in May concerning the allegation of the gas company receivers that in view of the gas supply they were entitled to a sliding scale increase in rates, based on distance of delivery from the wells. Some 25 Kansas distributing com panies were made correspondents in the case, with application by the re ceivers that they be compelled to re pair their mains arid prevent leakage. It was also asserted by the receivers that returns from the 1914 business showed a loss of $1,300,000 on rates in force last year. Permission is also asked of the com mission for the cancellation of all contracts for gas for commercial pur poses. Receivers for the company stated that if the increase in rates was grant ed, $600,000 would this year be spent for improvements and betterments. Whether the decision today will en able the making of the extensions this year, is not known. R. J. Higgins, city attorney for Kansas City and an at torney in the gas cases, stated that he believed it would be possible to make extensions before fall and increase the gas supply BERLIN HOLDS YANKEE Man Said to Represent American Copper Interests Under Arrest. Berlin. July 16. George S. Speets, an American, and understood to repre sent American copper interests, was arrested here Tuesday and is held at police headquarters on charges that have not been divulged. Speets, who has an American passport and who maintained an office for general brok ers, had been underpolice surveillance for several months. Some doubt exists as to Speets citizenship and Ambassa dor Gerard only yesterday while still ignorant of Speets' arrest, had started an investigation regarding the manner in which Speets had obtained and American passport. The ambassador had communicated with the German authorities on the subject. Scets Not Known in New York. New York, July 16. No one could be found in copper producing circles here today who knew George Speets. under arrest in Berlin, where it was said he represented American copper interest. New Bank at Merriam. Charter for another state bank was granted today when the state charter board approved the application for permission to establish a new bank at Merriam. The new bank is char tered as the Merriam State bank and is capitalized at $10,000. Incorpora tors of the new bank, as shown by the charter, are: Gus If: Ehlers. Wil liam G. Weaverling, Dr. Charles C. Gaston, Max Jahner, A. Loftus. Daisy C. Larimer. C. C. Ehlers, J. D. Colyer and J. E. Hart. The new bank will be opened for business at once. HARRY THAW IS FREED BY COURT; JURY IS UPHELD Slayer Is Given His Liberty on $35,000 Bond. State at Once Files a Notice of Appeal. ALIENISTS RAPPED BY JURIST Court Throng in Rotable Dem onstration of Approval. Defendant Is Visibly Happy Over Judge's Ruling. ."ew York.July 16. Harry K. Thaw, adjudged sane last Wednesday by a jury, was given his freedom today by Supreme Court Justice Peter A. Hen dricks. Judge Hendricks announced that he had adopted the jury's ver dict. The state immediately served notice of appeal, and Justice Hendricks fix ed Thaw's bail at $35,000 to insure his presence at future proceedings. A surety company gave the bond. A crowd that numbered hundreds lined the sidewalks and overflowed into the streets around the court house. It cheered Thaw wildly when he appeared on the court house steps. Ctourt Convinced of Sanity. "I have reached a decision in this case," Justice Hendricks said, "and it is based on my own mind, fortified by the action of the jury." Thaw, sitting comfortably in his chair, his counsel on each side, showed his pleasure. His mother and sister were not in court. "I want to say a word about the alienists," Justice Hendricks contin ued. "We have been told by one alien ist that it is impossible to determine the sanity or insanity of a person without taking the word of alienists. This court and jury cannot depend upon the word of an alienist who for years has devoted himself to a case of this kind and assisted in its prepara tion. That a doctor can help prepare a case and then go on the stand as an expert witness, is wrong. "I hope the legislature of the state will find some means to correct this. Some other method should be adopt ed. Gentlemen, I have adopted the verdict of the jury. I declare now that it is the decision of this court that IlaryvK. Thaw is sane." Commitment Now Inoperative, Edgar Bromberger of the group, ot lawyers appearing to, the state, gave notice of appeal.

Wesson, Miss., July 16. During a Joint debate here Governor Brewer informed State Senator Russell that If the latter ..gain made the charge that he (Brewer) had stolen a bill pending in the legislature he would cut Rus sell's throat from ear to ear. Russell had insinuated that the gov ernor had something to do with the mysterious disappearance of a bill. The governor walked up to Russell and speaking in a low tone made his threat. Russell retorted: "You can try that whenever you get ready." Standing squarely between the speaker and the audience Governor Brewer said: "Whenever you make the charge I am going to do it. If you don't be lieve it make the charge, and I'll show you better than I can tell you." Russell did not repeat the charge. WICHITA GAS CASE. Public Utilities Commission IJsten to Arguments. The public utilities commission to day heard arguments in the case con cerning the enforcement of the Wich ita gas ordinance. Evidence in the case was taken at a special hearing In Wichita several weeks ago. Some time ago the Wichita city commission passed an ordinance which permitted an independent gas company to sell gas to large consum ers in a restricted district. Consum ers were required under the ordinance to use not less than 25,000 cubic feet of gas daily. The ordinance was re garded by the Wichita Natural Gas company as an invasion of its fran chise privilege and the utilities com mission was appealed to In an effort to set aside the city enactment. Argu ments in the case will be concluded late today and a decision will be an nounced in the next ten days. Texas Oldest "Newsie" Dead. Lampasas. Tex.; July 16. When C. A.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL-FRIT Y EVENING, JULY 16, 1915. DRAINS MOBILIZED Daniels Discusses Jfaval Inven tors' Board With Edison. Every Member Recognized Ge- nius in Field of Science. West Orange, N. J., July 16. Secre tary Daniels and Thomas A. Edison talked for nearly three hours over the proposed navy bureau of invention and the civilian advisory board, of which Mr. Edison is to be the head, in the latter's home here last night. Sec retary Daniels said he would not an nounce the names of the members of the advisory board until after his re turn to Washington. "My intention is to have all mem bers of the board so well known that no one will ask "Who is he?' Sec retary Daniels said. "My idea in or ganizing this naval board is to bring about a mobilization of the brains of the country. I want to get together men who have devoted their lives to science and to use their genius and skill for the benefit of the country. My reason for coming here to confer with Mr. Edison is to get his sugges tions .for developing the scope of the work. After we get the board and be gin to get results, we shall be in a astate of defense such as no other country has ever' known. "Mj purpose is to have this board develop the submarine and aeroplane. If we had begun twenty-five years ago to encourage inventors and in ventions, ,ve today would be controll ing the submarine and aeroplane. Tne next war will be fought by ma chinery and men of brains." HARRYJHAWlREED. (font i n ucd from Pa ge One decide in Thaw's favor, the commit ment of Justice Dowling, under which Thaw was sent to Matteawan in 1908 after he had been acquitted on the grounds of insanity of the murder of Stanford White, would not be formal ly vacated, but would simply cease to cperate. Justice Hendricka decided that the stale's notice of appeal automatically ct ted as a stay. John B. Stanchfield of Thaw's coun sel then moved that Thaw be given his t.betty under bond. This motion was vigorously opposed by the state. Mr. Eromberger told the court he considered Thaw insane anJ a danger to the community. Mr. Stanchfield replied that Thaw had been adjudged sane and that to deny him bail would virtually nullify the court's decision until the appeal had been decided. The court then fixed the amount of bail at $35,000. Thaw said after the bail arrange ments were completed he was going to get his bags and take a train for Pitts burgh. The sheriff will accompany Thaw until he is on New Jersey soil out of New York state. Thaw Kormally Keleased. The bond as given differs from the ordinary bond, inasmuch as it assures Thaw's obedience to any mandate of the court until final disposition of the appeal. The agent of the surety company said that the Thaw family had- de posited with the company negotiable securities valued at $35,000. As soon as the bond was signed Thaw entered an automobile. He was accompanied by a detective and his secretary. The machine followed by six cars containing reporters and pho tographers started downtown toward the office of Thaw's attorneys. All the way down Broadway persons on the sidewalk cheered and applaud ed Thaw, who appeared to be much pleased with the demonstration. Thaw proceeded to Jersey City, where he was formally released from the custody of the sheriff. After lunch. Thaw said he would motor to Philadelphia in company with his secretary.

"Well, Harry," said Elliott, putting his hands on Thaw's shoulder, "I hope you turn over a new leaf and give us no cause-to regret what we have done for you." Thaw laughed and remarked: "Five other jurors told me that same thing." "Remember the old saying." Elliott went on, "a boys' best friend Is mother." Thaw smiled and turned to tho others about him. Thaw's Mother Not Surprised. Pittsburg, July 16. Mrs. Mary Copely Thaw was not in the least surprised by the announcement or tne decision in her son's case in New York today. It was just what she expected so confident was she of the outcome that she returned to Pittsburg early today and directed the arrangement of the Thaw home for the reception of Harry Thaw. "I am a bit disappointed, of course, that it H not all over," she said. HE CARRIED A GUN. Arkansas Man Feared He Might Meet an Old Enemy. When he left Arkansas several years ago, Hallis Higgins had a "dis pute" with an acquaintance. There were threats of shooting, said Higgins, at the police station last night and he didn't know but what the "other man" might be -in Topeka. so he carried a gun for protection. No, Higgins hadn't heard that his opponent was in 10 peka; he just thought it was possible that he was. Chief Parsons listened to Higgins's story Wednesday evening at the police station and decided that there was lit tle probability of the Arkansas ene my's being in Topeka so Higgins was booked for carrying concealed weap ons a rusty six-shooter. Higgins was picked up by Officer Jones. PROBE EMPORIA CHARGE State Welfare Commission in Session in Topeka Monday. Members of the state welfare com mission will hold their second meet ing in Topeka next Monday.

Causes of the Trouble. "Home conditions and environment in the large towns and cities have been the cause of nearly all of our trouble among the boys," said Howe. "In the rural districts, a higher moral standard seems to have been estab lished among the boys whose home conditions in some cases have been but little If any better than the boys in the larger towns. It is the large town boy with poor home irurround ings who causes the state the most trouble." Of the 292 boys received at the To peka school last year, 141 were com mitted for theft, while 84 were listed as delinquent and incorrigible. Since the establishment of the boys' industrial school at Topeka 3,816 in mates have been received. The record of the more densely populated coun ties, shows that the record for the year just closed was a fair average of conditions since the school was es tablished. The total record shows Wyandotte county has sent 344 boys to the school and leads the state. Shawnee is second with a total of 312. Other large counties are Sedgwick, 234; Leavenworth, 141; Cherokee, 138; Atchison, 128; Cowley, 123; Montgom ery. 112, and Reno and Douglas coun ties, 110 each. Other counties in the state have sent less than 100 boys to the school. Records from the girls' industrial school at geloit since its establishment in 1888 show- a total of 1,185 inmates of the institution. Most of these girls were sent from the more densely pop ulated counties, although the detailed and tabulated record has not as yet been filed. KAISER AND U. S.

Such a course, American officials in dicated, might be more welcome if ac companied by assurance that during the pendancy of the negotiations American lives and vessels would be safe. Count von Bernstorff refused to re veal what had taken place at today's conference beyond saying it was a satisfactory interview and he believed the danger of a rupture had been re duced. He based his optimism on the view that the German government did not want a break and would do all in its power to prevent one. He is con fident that the United States holds a similar view. That Germany is willing to join the United States in an effort to establish the American principle was emphasiz ed in the latest German note, accord ing to Count von Bernstorff, who is certain his government will accept a proffer on the part of the United States of its good offices. Germany pre viously has declared a willingness to abandon her submarine warfare If England will give up her policy of starving the German people. The ambassador's interview was en tirely informal. He sent a long re port on his visit by wireless to the Berlin foreign office. Secretary Lan sing would make no statement on the conference. The note from Austria-Hungary on war exports was nofdrscussed, if was stated on the highest authority. FIGHT IN CHINATOWN Tong War Waged in Darkness and In Secret. San Francisco, July 16. Terror lurks in every Chinatown on the Pa cific coast today, because of the tong war which is being waged, in darkness and in secret, between the Suey Sings and the Sen Sueys. The strife is espe cially bitter here. Gunmen crouch in every shadow, stalking their prospec tive victims under the very eyes of the police. The Big On tong is re ported to be on the verge of joining the fray, while several other powerful organizations are preparing for hos tilities. With the tongs it appears to be a point of honor never to cease the con flict unless the tally of killed and wound during the war is even. Thus, when attempts were made to end the present hostilities, the Sen Sueys would listen to no peace proposals until they had even up the score. Hatchmen prowled the gloomy streets of Chinatown. There were shots in the night, hurry calls for the patrol wagon, scuffling and sudden death. Now the Suey Sing tong has an nounced that it will not talk about peace unless the Sen Sueys agree not to prosecute any Suey Sen men on charges growing out of the war. WIFE SLAYER IS HANGED Children of William Spronse Refuse to See Him in Last Minutes. St. Louis, July 16. William H. Sprouse of East St. Louis, 111., was hanged at Clayton, Mo-, a local sub urb, shortly after sunrise today for the murder of his wife. To the last Sprouse maintained his innocence.

Forty-five minutes before he was to be hanged Sprouse attempted to com mit suicide by slashing his throat with a sharpened steel spring taken from his shoe. Although he had inflicted a serious wound upon himself the prompt action of Sheriff Bode and the physicians who were to witness the hanging, spoiled the prisoner's plan. THE WEATHER RECORD.

Bill Fisher, "ew First Baseman, in the Lineup. Sioux City. I-, 3ny 16. The Tope ka Savages won the last game of their series here Thursday afternoon by the score of 12 to 3 in eight innings. A drizzling rain marred the game and forced the umpires to call it at the close of the eighth frame. But the Savages proved themselves better rainv day players tl.an the Champions. Bill Fisher, the new first baseman, signed after Mayer had been recalled to Kansas City, played his first game with the Savages, getting one hit out of five times at bat and making eleven putouts and one assist without an error. Both teams began scoring in the first inning. The Savages took the lead with one run. Cochran, first batsman of the afternoon, led off with a single, was sacrificed to second by Bcstick and scored on Dell's double. Clunn Hit Hard. The Sioux landed hard on 'Lefty" Clunn in their half of the first and made three runs on singles, a triple, a double and a sacrifice. Clunn was re lieved in the second session by Lakaff who held the Indians scoreless for the remainder of the game and allowed only 6 hits. In the third inning the Savages made four runs. Cochran and Bostick singled. Fisher attempted to sacrifice but forced Cochran at third, Dell doubled scoring Bostick, Jackson sin gled scoring Fisher and Dell, and Lat timore singled scoring Jackson. In the fifth Jackson and Lattimore added two more and in the seventh Lattimore added another. The eighth was another foursome for the visitors. Cochran doubled, Bostick was hit with a pitched ball and both runners ad vanced on a wild pitch. Then a dou ble steal was effected, Cochran going home and Bostick was safe at first. Fisher flew out and Dell singled. Jackson forced Dell at second and then stole one. Lattimore singled, scoring Bostick and Jackson. Latti more then went to third on Rapps' single and another double steal pro duced the last run. The score: TOPEKA. Playeri LAD IS GOLF H1EXOM. Lawrence, Kan., July 16.

An assertion alleged to have been made by Cap tain Evers, of the Boston Braves, dur ing the progress of Tuesday's game, reflecting upon the integrity of organ ized baseball, is to be investigated by tresiaent John K. Tener, of the Na tional league. It was announced from President Tener's office that he would go to Boston to investigate the charge. John A. Heydler, secretary of the league, will accompany him. The Braves' captain, taking excep tion to a decision by Umpire Rigler, who declared Bescher safe at the plate on a close play, was quoted in a newspaper as having shouted: "They're trying to get the crowds out; they've ordered a close race; leave them alone, boys, they're only following instructions." Evers later expressed indignation because his remarks had been inter preted as a claim that the National league race was "fixed." He said: Evers Denies It, "I claim no such thing. I've been in baseball long enough to know bet ter. To be sure, I might say anything on the ball field. W hen an umpire hands you one like Rigler did at the home plate what you say will invar iably be the result of hard feeling at the time. Nobody living could fix a race like the one in the National league just now." And you WILL make it your "lucky day" if you are the kind that likes to have a dollar buy two and a half to four times what it usually buys.

STANDISH Arrow COLLARlforlrt Clntt Peatody r Cojoc Makers There are those who think O'Neill said a terrible thing about the profes sion of umpiring when he asserted his indicator men are good as any of 'em. The Mobile club of the Southern league has gone into the hands of re ceivers. The receivership followed a failure of the stockholders to agree upon a reorganization plan after all available cash assets had disappeared. Grover Loudermilk. of St. Louis. has a brother, Louis Loudermilk. who is being given a try out by the Detroit Tigers. Of all the names that adorn the roll books of ball clubs there are few more euphonious than Louis Loudermilk, Bennie Bostick and Larry Lejeune. Six managers in the American league accuse Connie Mack of a breach of neutrality. He sold Comis key a forty-two-centimeter gun. Fred Toney deserves a prominent place in the archives of baseball. He has won three games in a row in spite of the fact that he is pitching for the Reds.

The girls permit only one male to be present at their ringside, which shows that they are not as good sports as thty pretend to be. them. The defense of the Kansas City club is that the players did not de liver" as required under the contracts, and reports indicate that the whole American Association welcomes the test that will be made. The surpris ing thing is that the Federals have not jumped in and offered to take the two players in out of the wet. WIN CROQUET CHAMPIONSHIP. The one male who is thus honored by the fair pugs of the Southlands come by his good fortune of being a physical director. And it is safe to say that if the fad spreads to other schools there will be more physical directors looking for jobs in these schools than there are dead Germans in Galicia. And now Topeka has another gnlf course, another one in addition to the Country club, the Shawnee and the Gage park courses. It is located in Tennessee town. Colored lads, pre sumably caddies, have accumulated an assortment of golf utensils and have made a sort of course on the street parkings. The name of the club and the requirements for membership have not been learned. The Federals announce that they have raised a million dollar war fund and that they expect to begin some new tactics against O. B. in a short time. Harry Sinclair, owner of the Newark club, is said to have the mil lion now in his possession, and it is understood that the former Okla homan will be entrusted with the tak of making things warm for the other major leagues.

It didn't seem very patriotic, of course, for the miners in Wales to go on a strike at this time and seriously threaten the supply of coal for the British navy. At the same time, how ever, these men may well be pardoned for thinking that they are entitled to at least a little share of the profits that their employers are reaping be- cause of the war, and so, as a matter of fact, the patriotism of the mine operators of Wales is also open to question. POLICE FORCE OF FUTURE. "We must stop regarding policemen as mere keepers of order, and we must enlarge our view of their duties far beyond the arrest of criminals and the terroriiation of the neighborhood small toy. writes Newton D. Baker in the July Atlantic. They must be selected with reference as much, to their abil ity to catch and spread the spirit of the social advance as to their personal courage and cleverness in following the twists of the criminal mind. Their chief use will some day be the stimu lation of social self-control, for even now the most powerful force for the preservation of order is not the force shown or even implied by the poiice- man, but that innate sense for order whioh we Americans have and which we enforce by the pressure of neigh borhood opinion and crowd self-re spect. "We can begin now to build the police force of the future. A gooa start would be made if a probationary period were established during which men too young for admission to the regular force could be in training for it. During that period the duties as signed should be largely on the social side, duties such as sanitary Inspec tion, traffic control, the regulation of amusements, and patrolling parks and public places in which people congre gate for recreation; this work, under such conditions as conduce to the de velopment of the social sense, would therefore train into these future po licemen, in their impressionable years, a sympathy with people, born of asso ciation with them and of helpfulness extended to men and women and children as part of a duty flowing from employment by society itself. Neither does the British victory in Africa loom up to large proportions as a military achievement, except as to the extent of the territory captured, in view of the fact that a mere handful of Germans were on the job in the Dark Continent, and then were sub dued only when a force ten times their number was sent against them. EVERY CHILD A CITIZEN. How one community trains its chil dren for the responsibilities of citizen ship is described in a bulletin just is sued by the United States bureau or education on "Civic Education in Ele mentary Schools as Illustrated in In dianapolis." "The practice in the In dianapolis schools," says Arthur W. Dunn, author of the bulletin, "is to help the pupil to understand the na ture of his own community life, his de- Dendence upon it, and his responsibil ity for it; to develop a right attitude toward government as the means by which all members of the community may co-operate for the common in terest; and to cultivate habits of right action as a member of the commun ity." The bulletin emphasizes the fact that "civics is not taught as a separate subject until the eighth grade, but that civic education is a phase of all the work of the school. The aim seems to be to make of education, not a pro cess of instruction in a variety of sub jects, but a process of growth, during which the various relations of lire are unfolded." Incidentally It is pointed out that "there is no 'subject of ethics or moral education in the Indianapolis schools, but the direct moral training afforded by the course here outlined is peculiarly virile. So, also, while there is no attempt to give direct .vocation training in the strict sense of this term, nor even any organized form of vocational guidance," nevertheless the fact is always taken into account that the citizen must be a worker and the worker a citizen." Instruction through the course of study is, however, only a part of the training for citizenship given in these schools. "An under standing of community life and of government," declares Mr. Dunn, "is fruitless without the cultivation of Qualities ana habits of good citizen ship. Instruction and training must go hand in hand. The latter is large ly a matter of practice." Pupil par ticipation in school management 1" a very real thing in Indianapolis, and in some schools it is carried to a high degree of effectiveness. It manifests itself in the method of pre paring and conducting recitations; in the care of school property; in pro tecting the right of younger children; in maintaining the sanitary conditions of the building and grounds; in beau tifying school grounds; In the making of repairs and equipment lor our school;" in fact, in every aspect of the school life. Germany appears to be submarining along the lines of torpedoing every ship in sight and then investigating its identity. She admits it was a sud marine torpedo that came close to put ting the Nebraskan out of business, but says that this was a mistake or an accident, and that she is willing to make reparation. There can be no adequate reparation, though, for any ives that are sacrificed by such an in defensible method of naval warfare. THE PIONEER SPIRIT. Some time ago writes Thomas W Shelton of the Norfolk (Va.) Bar in the July Case and Comment, it was my privilege to attend the "Sport- men's Show" in New York. One man. of the many little groups that filled the Grand Central Palace drew my attention, not alone on account of his prowess with the rifle and rod, nor his adventures and temporary abode in the boundless stretches of the far northwest. It was the reason that drew him away from the ordinary routine of the much-vaunted organ ized society of the twentieth century, in which every thoughtful man must be interested. Standing well up in his boots, his big frame, spoke force fully of physical health, and his clean eyes, looking straight out from an in tellectual face, interpreted eloquently a clear brain and a wholesome, cheer ful nature within. He was an un spoiled, natural man. The sportsman gave his reason in one jpentence. This intellient and intellectual man, resent ing the multiplied and conflicting rules of conduct as translated in the form of statutes and reported cases and the crippling of character by the inroads of paternalism in government, was drawn into the unsurvey wastes of the mountain fastnesses in search of a country where a man could still make his own law. The spirit that was within him yearned for a land where he could turn his face to the Maker to whom he acknowledged responsi bility and final sovereignty, unre stricted by the artifices and egoism of man. Taking this sportsman as a fair example of citizenship, does not that cry typify the normal man that laws are made to govern Is it not of the first importance to permanent civilization that organized society should aspire to such a standard? Is it not a true reflection of the real hu man spirit that it is desired to regu- 1 late, and, in its analysis, becomes in tercourse between the creature and his Creator. Is it not the spirit that should pervade the body of the law and the policy of the government? That being so, is it well to depart far from its simplicity and wholesome ness in the erection of artificial rules of conduct the substitutes, consider ed by congress and the legislatures to be necessary, for the moral law? And while we shall presently see some practical governmental evils follow ing its violation, the ravages upon the ideal citizenship may be fairly well deduced Journal Entries Ti always takes) two boys twice as lofig to do an errand as it does one. fr fr Most folk who indulge in sin do not do so on account of the wages that go with it.

The paperhanger can go to the wall without going to Wall street. Even when it stands up for itself a clock will run itself down. The way of the transgressor is hard. although sometimes it seems pretty soft. Whv is it that gray hair always commands more respect than a bald head?

"I had planned for her to be a teacher as I always wanted to be. I shall have to make more or less sacrifice for her education in either case. Now my daughter is clever and I believe she could do one thing as well as another if she would only put her mind to it. Don't you think I have 'a right to urge her. t arry.,out my wishes?" Frankly,.!my friend, I do not. Not unless you have good reason to think she has no ability in the line she wants to follow. You imply, that she has a good deal of general ability, and say that she can do one thing as well as an other, if she puts her mind to it. That's a big mistake. She may be able to do either thing, but not equl ly well. We all have a certain amount of energy which we can turn in one di rection or other. But it will not accon plish the same amount in one di rection as another. It will not ac complish the same amount in the di rection in which it must overcome the barrier of a natural inclination and an inborn awkwardness as it will in the direction in which natural inclination and facility give it a clear channel. The line of least resistance is the line of most accomplishment in the matter of talent. The history of genius is full of ex amples of parents who insisted on choosing their' children's vocation against their natural bent. Sir Walter Scott was put into the law, and the years that might have given us half a dozen more wonderful novels produced only law briefs. Galileo, the great mathematician, never studied mathematics at all untill he was twenty, because his father had made up hi mind to have him a doc tor and didn't think he needed to know anything about the subject. Ariosto lost five years studying law. In our own days Madame Schu-mann-Heink had to contend with a father who objected violently to her using her voice. Think what the world would have lost if he had succeeded in repressing her into a purely do mestic life, to sav nothing of her own loss of world fame and an income of almost $200,000 a year. These are some of those who event ually persisted in expressing them selves in their own way. How many succumbed and followed the paths into which they were pushed, how many mute inglorious Miltons of one sort or another have been made in this way, we cannot know. Of course, I do not mean that your daughter will necessarily set the world afire if she is allowed to follow her bent. But if she really has a bent that way and not merely a passing fancy, she will aouDtiess ao more than if you force her energy into an obstructed channel. tst. B. Young folks with artistic longings, but no decided talent, are not to consider this an argument for them. POINTED PARAGRAPHS. From the Chicago News. Kisses, like rumors, travel from mouth to mouth. Most of the slips occur after the cup has been to the lips. A girl's face usually lights up when she is offered a match. But it never reduces the size of a claim against an estate to file it. A woman never receives half as many letters as she thinks she should. Of course the average man is above the average. If you doubt it, ask him. Be kind to children. Most of them retain their memories after they grow up. Occasionally a man's generosity Is due to the fact that he will get talked about. Be careful. It is mighty easy for a man to go to the' dogs and even dogs have some rights. Never run into debt if you are near sighted; you'll be unable to see your i creditors in time to oag up an aiiey.

There was a clatter of hoofs on the driveway and Mrs. Lines hastened to the window and looked out. Her husband was just dismounting from his big bay horse, while a stable man was leading a beautiful black mare around the house. Soon afterward Col. Lines came into the sunny parlor, his face wreathed in smiles. "Well, my dear," he said rubbing his hands gleefully, "I've been to the Kenworth sale." j "And you've bought a horse, Dan-1 iel?" she asked with curiosity, for the Kenworths and the Lineses had waged a bitter quarrel for many years and the failing fortunes of the Ken worths, culminating in this sale of their stables, was a matter of much interest to Col. Lines and his wife. "Yes, Martha, I've got a saddle horse for Alice nothing less than Rod Kenworth's mare. Black Betty." Once upon a time the Lineses and the Kenworths had been close friends and neighbors. It was a matter of boundary lines that brought about the first bitterness between the families, and now the ill feeling had spread over two generations. The third gen eration recognized and respected the feud, although it never understood just why it was worth while to make a lifelong fuss over twelve inches of running brook. On the Kenworth side there was only Rod left Rod, who had taken the mortgaged homestead as his in heritance, while his brothers had chosen negotiable securities and gone to the West to make fortunes for themselves. Rod had tried farming, but the heavily mortgaged acres need ed expensive fertilizers and a thor ough rest to bring a yield of paying crops, xnen Koa naa to give up m stables. He was bound to rejuvenate these family acres and some day to bring the Kenworth estate up to its old prestige. So the red flag swung above the stone gateway and Rod saw his favorite horses led away by his richer neighbors. And Black Betty had to go too, for five hundred dollars was not to be re fused at this critical time. Perhaps Rod experienced an additional bitter ness that his mare went into the hands of his traditional enemy, but he was courtesy itself to the colonel. Around at the Lines stable Alice was caressing Black Betty's pretty head. "It was dear of you. Uncle Daniel, to buy her for me," cried the girl. "You and Aunt Martha have been Invelv in every way since I came to live with you. Why, I've only been here two weeks and you have shower ed blessings of every description upon The colonel laughed grimly. "When a lonely old couple have a chance to entertain a niece whom they have never seen before why, there'? a mightly likely prospect that she's going to have a. gooa time. "I am sorry for the unfortunate neighbor who "had to part with Black Betty," she said. "Poor Master Rod am all cut up," began Henry, the stableman, eagerly, when a warning gesture from Col. Lines silenced him. "Who is Master Rod?" asked Alica, interested in all her neighbors in this new home. But her uncle evaded the question and the girl immediately for got everything except Black Betty. The next morning Alice went for her first ride on the mare. The girl was a skillful horsewoman and Black Betty responded perfectly to her light est touch. Quite unaware that she was turning toward Kenworth farm, Alice took a narrow bridle path in the beech woods and gave Black Betty a loose rein. Suddenly the mare stopped short and whinnied. Then, with a shrill cry, she sprang forward and tore along the bridle path toward her old home. Vainly Alice tried to restrain the ex cited animal. Black Betty put her head down and shot like an arrow to its mark. At the end of the bridle path was a barred gate. At the gate Black Betty rose like a bird and sailed over the barrier, almost riding down a broad-shouldered young man in the garb of a farm hand. "Whoa, Betty! Whoa, girl!' he shouted. iii 'nalo hut enmnosed. with her fair hair flying In tne Dreeze. re garded the scene with amazement. "I am sorry, saia tne man cour teously. "I hope that Black Betty hasn't frightened you." Not at all. protestea Alice, xnen she added: "You have seen her be fore?" I raised her," he said briefly. His arm slipped around Black Betty's neck and the animal playfully nibbled his ear. j Oh! How you must have hated to part with her!" Alice flashed a look of sympathy at the young man. "She mustn t play mis tncK upon you again," said Rod, severely. "Per haps you were riding in the bridle path?" "Yes and srre Donea at once. Rod led the mare to an inner gate. stroked her glossy flank and with a grave inclination of his head watched the girl riding aown tne avenue. When Alice reached home she went at once to Aunt Martha's room, where she related the. story of her ride. The good woman s look of outraged pro priety stimulated tne gins curiosity and she as iced questions until Aunt Martha told her the story of the Lines-Kenworth feud. "All that fuss over twelve Inches or wornout meadow land?" echoed Alice. "Why, how absurd!" Aunt Martha flushed. "My dear, you do not understand." she protest ed. "It is the principle of the thing that counts, not the land. In fact, that twelve inches is not land at all, but water. It really is that little brook that runs along the dividing line fence." "But why not settle it in a legal "My dear child, there have been several lawsuits over the brook, and the last one gave it to us. Rod Ken- J worth can't afford to" spend any more momjy on lawyers fees, and so the matter is settled for good, I hope." "What are you going to do with the brook," asked Alice, feeling strange ly sorry for Rod Kenworth. "Why nothing. Rod Kenworth wanted it to irrigate his meadow land, which is arid enough, goodness knows but right is right, my dear," she ended weakly. "And so he had to sell his horse," mused Alice, as she went to her room. She thought a great deal about Rod Kenworth. and his fallen for tunes, but the next day when she mounted Black Betty she turned the sleek head away from Kenworth farm and rode in the opposite direc tion. But the roads were strange to Alice, while Black Betty knew them well, so that on her way homeward the mare managed to find a familiar wood road and for the second time bone her protesting mistress into Rod Kenworth's presence. Rod was manifestly glad to see them, but he realized that these in voluntary meetings must be embarras sing to Black Betty's new owner. And it is significant that this time Alice did not mention her meeting with Rod Kenworth, nor the many subsequent meetings which were brought about by Black Betty's perverseness. One day Col. Lines and his wife were driving toward Pendleton. The way led through the tall beech woods and the horses idled along the pleas ant road. Suddenly, along a side bridle path, came Alice on Black Betty and beside her Rod Kenworth on his bony sorrel. Rod's hand was on Black Betty's Huffy mane and his handsome face was turned toward Alice's downcast eyes. It was the identical spot on which the colonel had asked his wife to marry him, and it may have been that softening recollection that prevented an indignant explosion on the part of the old couple. Alice saw them first and her face went pale and then rosy red. Red turned and recognized his family foes. With uncovered head, he rode straight up to the enemy. "It is all my fault," he declared eagerly. "No no it is mine. Uncle Daniel," protested Alice. "I wouldn't no, I couldn't recognize the family feud!" Colonel Lines coughed in an em barrassed manner and turned his head away. As a matter of fact, he was rather weary of the quarrel which he had inherited from his father. Arrd the young people they loved each other that was plain enough and Martha was whispering in his ear the story of how Black Betty had carried Alice to Kenworth Farm. "I hope you won't blame Alice," Rod was saying. The colonel smiled. "Black Betty is the one to blame!" he decided, and then, as he whipped up the horses, he called over his shoulder: "Alice, you better take Rod up to the house. Martha and I will be home by and by and Emmeline is going to make waf fles for supper!" (Copyrighted 1915, by the McClure Newspaper Syndi cate.) Advertisine: vs. Praying. The small daughter of a Little .Rock family had been praying each evening at bedtime for a baby sister. The other morning her mother, reading the paper, exclaimed: "I see Mrs. Smith has a little daughter." "How do you know that?" asked the child. T read it in the paper," answered the mother. "Read it to me," said the daughter. The mother read: "Born on March to Mr. and Mrs. Smith, a daughter." The child thought a moment, then said: "I know what I am going to do. I am going to quit praying and begin advertising." National Month ly. MR. GARDEN TOAD "Oh, dear, but I wish it would rain," grumbled Mr. Garden Toad as he hopped dismally around in the dry and dusty flowerbed. "It hasn't rained for so long that everything is dry and dirty and.ugly! Is there noth ins we can do about it?" He addressed no one in particular for he saw no one to talk to but he had learned by experience that many times there were creatures around and he had only to speak to lind them. Sure enough! Hardly had he spoken, when Mr. Snail raised his head, he was hiding under a leaf close by, and remarked, "Why, it rained not long ago! Isn't that enough "If you mean that wee bit of wet ness that fell three mornings ago, that was a hose shower," replied Mr. Toad; "but there wasn't enough of that to satisfy me three days! Mr. Snail looked around the dry garden. "It wasn't much, that true." he admitted, but it was bet ter that nothing. Another such shower would help out till the real rain comes." "To be sure it would," croaked Mr. Toad crossly; "but how are you go ing to get even that?" Mr. Snail thought a minute. "I don't see any way," he finally said: "but maybe some one else can help you. I lead such a quiet life that I know very little about the world, Why don't you ask your friend. Billy Robin' Maybe he knows how hose showers are procured. Mr. Garden Toad thought that a good suggestion, so he promptly Kept a watchout for Billy Robin. By good luck, at that very minute Billy Robin flew down the garden path and stop ped near Mr. Garden Toad. "Oh, friend Billy," called the toad, "can you tell me how to get a hose shower?" Billy cocked his head to one side and thought and thought. "That's a pretty big question you have asked me," he said at last. "You know those hose showers are operated by the people in the house, and there is never any telling what they will do! But there ought to be a way. kiwi (PERFECTr MM Kansas Comment BIG MOBILE GUNS.

He is planning the construction of a number of mobile carriages for the 10- and 11-inch mortars now in possession of the coast artillery and for the training of the soldiers in their use. This country has a num ber of these powerful mortars, but they are all mounted on immovable carriages and would be available only in the forts where they are mounted. Under the new plan many of these will be so mounted that they could be hauled to any place an enemy might attack or seek to land, and fired from trenches constructed on tho spot. Moreover, Mr. Garrison has or dered extensive drills with such field artillery as the army now possesses. Congress has failed to provide any thing like an adequate amount of am munition, but such as it has provided will be used to train the men to hit what they shoot at. Manhattan Na tionalist. From Other Pens CLIMATES AND TUBERCULOSIS. The public health service reports that the number of consumptives who seek a cure in a change of climate is steadily increasing, but that the af flicted are showing better judgment than used to be the case. Time was when a man stricken with the white plague would wait till the last minute, then go to Colorado or New Mexico, with hardly enough money to pay a week's board after arrival, looking to the climate to work a miracle. Things are better now, but even yet 15 per cent of all deaths from tuberculosis in some health resorts take place within thirty days after the patient arrives. Modern medical science has proved that, while climate is of great value in treating tuberculosis, it is by no means the sole factor. Other things being equal, a moderately high alti tude and dry, sunshiny weather will give the best possible results. If a pa tient has to choose between a home and a boarding-house in Colorado, however, the chances are strong that he had much better stay at home. Chicago Journal. DENMARK IS DEMOCRATIC. The new Danish constitution, which becomes effective this week, makes Denmark one of the most democratic of nations. Following the read of Norway, Iceland and Finland. Den mark gives full suffrage to women. Moreover, it abolishes entirely the privileges of the landed aristocracy, which has hitherto possessed, through electoral limitations, the. power of continuously holding the upper house of Parliament. This chamber, though elective, was in effect a Danish housrc of lords, and blocked all progressive legislation proposed by tho lower house, which was fully representative of the people. It is altogether likely that the. great war is indirectly re sponsible for the Danish reforms. In a time of national danger it was deemed advisable to obliterate domes tic differences. For many years the people', represented by the lower house of -parliament,- had- battered tn vain against the stone wall of privilege. The surrender which has resulted in the. new constitution was made voluntar ily by the aristocracy. They were, it seems. Danes first of all. They pre ferred to give up privileges which they deemed rightfully theirs rather than to permit discord to continue Cleve land Plain Dealer. CROAKS .FOR A SHOWER Wait a minute, I'll ask Tommy Spar row." Tommy Sparrow was glad to come down to the garden path and talk the matter over. "Why of course there is a way." he said the first thing. "We are entirely too polite about our thirstiness. We ought to -What bliss!" muttered Mr. 'J'oud. make a great fuss, then we might get some water. You. Mr. Toad, should croak and we should fuss and flutter about in the dust." They all thought that was worth trying. So Mr. Toad began to croak (such mournful croaking you never heard!) and Billy and Tommy Spar row fluttered and scolded and stormed In the dust of the garden till would you believe it? That queer Mr. Wan-in-t he-house heard them and came out to see what they wanted! It was not hard to guess that they were thirsty and the hose was turned on at once. "What bliss!" muttered Mr. Toad from the depths of the first puddle. "Next time I want something, I'll croak for It!" (Copyright Clara Ingram Judson.) --?gss Zcm r5, TOPEKA BRANCH STORE W. W.

Save The Baby Use the reliable HORLICKS ORIGINAL alted faille Seattle, Wash.. July 16. Oregon has never been properly advertised, ia the opinion of most of the Kansans on the Shrine special, who arrived here after spending most of two days in the Columbia river state. The Oresron Short Line and the Orejron-Washing-ton Railway and Xavigation road tra verse a country where farming is aid ed by Uncle Sam's irrigation projects and where prosperity Is a reality. From the windows of the O.-W. R. N. trains the Columbia river can be seen for miles. Previous to last week the only-'ways to see' the Columbia and the surrounding scenery was to fro by boat or rail. Now a highway has been completed at a cost of $1,300,000. which makes possible a pleasant 'rip for motorists along a route which for striking scenery has few rivals in this country. Saturday night the women of the Shrine party enjoyed an auto drive through the town of Le Granile, a place of 6.000 people. Two years ago Le Grande found Itself heavily in debt. As a result, the town became the second in the United States to hire a "city manager" F. J. Lafkv was secured to fill the position and he still is on the job. "There is a city com mission, but it does not butt in," ex plained Lafkv-. "The commissioners act only as city advisers. Supervising the business and paying the bills for the city is my job, exclusively." In cidentally Le Grande now is nearly free from debt. .Receptions tendered to the Jay hawkers in Oregon were cordial. It seemed as if the whole town of Le Grande "turned out" to hear the lit tle concert given by the ever-working Marshall's band. As the train neared Portland, boxes of tempting Oregon cherries were placed at the disposal of the Kansans. At Portland, the chair man of the Kansas reception commit tee was Jess Lasv.-ell, formerly of To peka, and now vice president of the Portland Merchants' bank. Forty mo tor cars carried the visitors for a three-hour ride over the beautiful city of roses. Hear Dr. Loveland. Many of the Shriners heard Dr. Frank L. Loveland, former Topeka Methodist pastor, speak Sunday niKht. Oscar Downing was one of the for mer Topeka colony in Portland, who made himself known. Downing came to the northwest country 23 years ago. For eleven years previous he worked for the Santa Fe where he was a co worker with L. M. Penwell. The two had a session of recalling old times. Other' ex-Topekans at Portland in clude: Homer Jamieson, V. S. San ders. James Ni Davis and Frank Kohref. George Seybold, one of the Topeka men on the three weeks' trip, pur chased a safety razor before starting. The new instrument replaced one of the old fashioned kind which Mr. Sey bold had used 22 years. Counting an average of a quarter of Inch of beard a week, Mr. Seybold figures that the razor has shaved off 25 feet of whisk ers in Its time. The Snyder-Doncyson black face team, which scored a marked success in the Commercial club minstrels, is popular on the special. The two are kept working overtime to amuse the travelers. The Salina bunch of Isis Shriners are originators of a stunt which con sists giving a "Rock Chalk-K. U." yell at the various station platforms where the train stops. Quartermaster Sergeant J. Doublin, U. S. A., and second lieutenant in the Abdaliah Shrine patrol, is a striking figure in the drills given by the organ ization. His military carriage is no ticeable. Sergeant Doublin is on a three months furlough. He will spend the time as a guard at the Frisco fair. George W. Porter, (William not Washington) makes an excellent drum naajor for the band. Porter's exper ience in the Kansas National guards and lodge drill teams stands him in good stead in leading the marching. Snowball Fight on Top of Mountain. Led by the delegates to the Imperial council meeting which yesterday closed its forty-first annual session In this city, several thousand Shriners today snowballed each other on the slopes of Mount Rainier crawled over glaciers: explored ice caves, discov ered new wild flowers and even scaled the summit of the great peak. Loaded with red fez wearers, special trains left Seattle shortlv after sun rise and arrived at the Rainier Na tional park during the morning. After luncheon at the inn they went out on the side of the mountain under the care of trained guides, visiting Para dise valley and several of the noted glaciers. Tonight the easteners will sleep on the mountains and tomorrow after noon will return to Seattle. While a portion of the delegates and Shrine members were making the junket to Mount Rainier, several thousand more boarded an ocean going steamer and cruised for the entire day on Puget Sound, going west to the foot of the Olympic mountains and the strait of Juan de Fuca, and north as far as the Canadian boundary. Several bands accompanied the travelers and played at Everett, Ana cortes. Bellingham and other cities visited. will speak at 2 o'clock in the after noon at Lincoln park. The Chautauqua is being held to provide funds to pay for insuring the buildings at the State Manual Train ing Normal. The Chamber of Com merce is in charge and the services of speakers and musicians on the pro gram have been donated. The Chau tauqua will begin Monday, July 19, and close Sunday, July 25. PAY IN SI 0,441, 10. OU Companies Contribute Sum in Fees. a Large State oil inspection fees for June totaled J10.441.10, according to a re port filed today with W. E. Davis, state anditor, by Miss Bertha Fitch, office deputy in the oil department. Most of the fees reported for the month were paid under protest and are being held by Earl Akers, state treasurer, in a separate fund pending decision on the constitutionality of the state oil inspection law. The report shows the inspection during the month of 104,411 barrels of gasoline and kerosene. Inspection of kerosene during the month totaled 48,691 barrels, while 55.920 barrels of gasoline were inspected. to pmInguarded 5. Officials Trust Aged Swindler to Go Alone to Atlanta. New Tork. July 16. Unaccompan ied by guards. David Essacson, con victed of swindling, left here today to serve a sentence of a year and a day in the Federal penitentiary at Atlan ta. Ga. The experiment of allowing Essac son to go to prison alone and unguard ed is a new idea of the federal author ities here. The United States marshal trusts Essacson to appear at the pen itentiary on time, chiefly because he is 60 years old, in feeble health, and because his bond does not expire untfl he delivers himself to the warden. Essacson was head of the Kalos Manufacturing company and is said to have deri-ed $500,000 from the sale of outfits for making medallions. HE WRITES TO WILSON Topeka Man Wants Help Withheld From the Allies. A Topeka man, W. B. Gasche, of the Alliance Co-operative Insurance company, has written a letter to Presi dent Wilson, protesting against the loaning of money to the belligerents in Europe and the sale of war muni tions to the allies. Mr. Gasche sets forth that such transactions serve to prolong the struggle and that the Americans who send money and sup plies to Europe have ceased to be come neutral. Mr. Gasche says in part: borne or g the people or the unitea states nave- j been furnishing money to the allies, i it is said to the amount of three bil lion dollars, with which to prosecute j the war. Others have been and are engaged in the manufacture of arms and ammunition and are selling them to the allies. With this financial obli gation on the part or tne allies tne moneyed men of this country want the i allies" to win so that they may get their money back. These men are no longer neutral. The manufactur ers of munitions want the war to con tinue in order that they may sell their product. "Therefore some of the people of the United States are responsible for the prolongation of the war. He who furnishes a weapon to an individual knowing that it is the intention of such individual to use the weapon to take the life of another is amenable to the law as an accessory to the ciime. Wherein should nations differ from individuals? Should not congress con vene and prohibit the exportation of arms and ammunition? "The common people of this nation are protesting against th2 continua tion of these things which every day are helping to fill unmarked graves on the bloody battlefield and are bringing misery and anguish to mil lions of people beyond th power of words to describe."

Probable Presidential Candidate Will Appear at Pittsburg Chautauqua. Pittsburg, Kan., July 16. The first gun of the 1916 campaign in Kansas may be fired in Pittsburg next Tues day. United States Senator Albert B. Cummins of Iowa will speak at the Pittsburg Chautauqua. He is consid ered a certain candidate for the Re publican presidential nomination. Senator Cummins is not coming as a lecturer sent by a Chautauqua bureau. He is coming as an invited guest to deliver an address at Pittsb-rg's home made Chautauqua. He Is the most noted speaker on the list of noted speakers and plans are being made to entertain many visitors from south eastern Kansas. Senator Cummins "It is believed that the Kansas ex periment will prove successful and will help to open the gates to all our great exhibitions." The foregoing is the sentiment of an editorial appearing in the last issue of th-3 Country Gentle man, recognized as one of the great est agricultural magazines of the world. Tne favorable comment of the Country Gentleman is only one of tire many editorials and comments on the Topeka fair appearing in papers and magazines throughout the United States. Following is the Country Gen tleman's comment: "This year's Kansas State Fair, at Topeka. is to be free to every person who chooses to come. The plan has been agitated in several states, but this is the first of the big fairs to adopt It. "Constant effort on the part of the fair boards and secretaries has been required to develop the educational value of the big fair. During recent years the active participation of agri cultural college extension departments and the federal government has helped i to develop many fairs into what amount to short courses in good farm ing. The cheap side-show and its partner, the gambling faker, have been quite g&nerally eliminated, and the stockman and general farmer now at tend the fairs more for educational benefits than for entertainment. "It is believed that the Kansas ex periment will prove successful and will help to open the gates of all our great exhibitions. New problems in the financial management of the show are introduced, but most exhibitors realize the Importance of Increased at tendance sufficiently to be willing to stand a slight increase In entry fees to sustain the premium list. Exhib itors are attaching less importance these days to the cash value of the premiums than to the benefit to be de rived from meeting customers. And the time may not be far in the future when premiums will be largely re duced to an honorary basis, or at least to such sums as will merely aid in defraying the expenses of exhibiting, which is about all they amount to now. 'From mere entertainment events crowded with vaudeville features, our i great fairs are rapidly assuming the proportions of annual agricultural i conventions with every interest of the farmer represented." 1 JULY CLEARANCE SALE Men Looking for Coo!
