BLOOD LUST SEIZES HEARTS Tragedy Turns Britain's Flower Back to First Law. W. G. Shepherd in Thrilling "Personal Experience" Story. NOTE: The British censor has passed for publication the following "personal experience" story of the lat est Zeppelin raid over London by Wil liam G. Shepherd. It is the first story that has been thus approved. It is the first story which gives a complete in sight into the British public's behavior "under fire." It confirms the an nouncement Thursday that Wednes day night's air raid was over the heart of London, although Shepherd is not permitted to state what theatre he at tended nor to reveal the section of the city he was in.

Above the din of the orchestra there sweeps over the theater a cavernous base "boom." "Zeppelins!" whispered a pretty girl sitting next to a Scotch officer. "No," you hear him whisper, "it's a door banging." He's lying, and knows it. "Zeppelins! Zeppelins!" The whisper runs through the au dience. If you knew what was transpiring in the street you would be out there instead of waiting for the last act to onrf Rnnh a. scene is being enacted out there as the old town of London in all its rich, thousand years' history never before beheld. London Gazes Into Heavens. The curtain goes down. Tou file out of the theatre into .the crowded street. Traffic is at a standstill. A million quiet cries make a subdued roar. Seven million people ot tne Dig- gest city in the world stand gazing into the sky from the- darkened street. Here is the climax to the twentieth century! Among the autumn stars long, gaunt Zeppelin. It is vellow the color ,of the floats a a dull harvest moon. The long fingers of searchlights reach up from the roofs of the city and are touching all sides of the death monster with their white tips. Great booming sounds shake the city. They are Zeppelin bombs falling killing burning. Aerial Guns in Action. Lesser noises of shooting are near at hand, the noises of aerial guns sending shrapnel into the sky. "For God's sake, don't do that.'" says one man to another, who has just struck a match to light a cigarette. Whispers low voices run all through the streets. "There's a red light in the sky over there; our house may be burning!" exclaims a woman, clutching at a man's coat. "There are a million houses in Lon don; why ours, particularly?" he re sponds. A group of men talking French stand gazing up from the street. They are in waiters' clothes and have rushed from the rooms of one of the most luxurious hotels in the world. "The devil!" exclaims one of them. "We have got it! It can't get away' There's shrapnel all around it!' "Oh my neck! says a pretty girlrtnree consecutive terms of one year in evening wraps.

FAIR GROUNDS CLOSED TO PUBLIC ON SUNDAY The fair grounds will be closed Sunday and the public will not be admitted to the grounds until -the gates open Monday morning. This arrangement is made nec essary because of the heavy ship ments of exhibits and live stock that will reach the grounds Sunday and must be placed," said Samuel E. Lux. president of the Kansas State Fair association. "Three special trains from the Nebraska state fair, a special train from the Minnesota state fair, and addition al shipments from all parts .of the country must be switched and un loaded. Probably 300 ears will ar rive Sunday. The placing of these exhibits, the driving of live stock over the grounds, the hauling, etc.. means that the grounds must be ".eft clear for the workers in order for the fair to be ready Monday morning. For these reasons we ask the public not to visit the grounds Sunday. Monday morning the gates will be torn away and everybody will be welcome every day of the fair tree to the grounds and to every building and every exhibit."

The note had not been received in Washington at noon today, and the state department had no information of its whereabouts.

Dr. Constan tin T. Duma, Austro-Hui:garian am bassador, whose recall has been re quested by President Wilson, left to day for his summer home at Lenox, Mass. Dr. Dumba was accompanied by his secretary. Prince Zu Hohenlohe, who waved aside newspaper men when they attempted to interview the am bassador. Dr. Dumba spent several hours with Count von Bernntorff, the German ambassador, last night. At the conclusion of this meeting both 'diplomats declined to say any thing regarding President Wilson's ac- MEDDLING WITH THE MACHINERY. Hon. Dr. Dumba's secretary," before Dr. Dumba left, said the ambassador was quite reconciled to the request that he be recalled and was forced to main tain silence because of the position he occupied. After he had reached Lenox and had been able to think the matter over, he added, he probably would issue a statement defining his action. The secretary said it had not been determined just when the ambassador would return to New York, or how long he would remain in Lenox, but he intimated that his future move ment would depend entirely upon de velopments. Count von Bernstorff. the Ger man ambassador, emphatically de nied today that he had used or attempted to use James F. T. Archibald, the American messenger of Dr. Constantin T.

There is no place where one can see so much, have such a good time, and acquire so much new and valuable information as at a big, well conducted agricultural exposition. To the children and young peo ple a trip to the fair is one of the big events of the year. Older peo ple frequently fail to fully appre ciate how much children learn through such opportunities. "The same old thing." we may say as we view the exhibits, hut the children are eagerly taking it all in and at every turn receiving some new im pression that will be of Incstlma blne value to them in after life. Xo other institution is doing more for agricultural and social progress, considering the short pe riod in which it works, than a clean, properly managed fair, thor oughly in harmony with the people it is designed to serve. A family junket to such a fair Is worth all it costs simply as a va cation trip. The monotony of the farm is certain to grow irksome, and such an outing is just what is needed to stimulate the mind to new activities and furnish the nec essary relaxation from the grind of the daily round of toil.

JUST PASS IT ON Shawnee County Bar Associa tion Refers Dawson Jlattei To the State Organization Which Meets in January. Investigation of fees accepted by lawyers evidently is not a matter that the members of the Shawnee County Bar association care to take up, for this morning the association met at the court house for the second time to consider the validity of the $8,325 fee which Justice John Dawson received in the Kansas Natural gas case and did nothing except shove the question onto the State Bar association. A resolution offered by Judge Z. T. Hazen calling for an adjournment and the checking up of the question to the State Bar association met with unan imous favor from the members of the j tocal bar and was adopted. The introduction of this resolution i somewhat upset the original plans of several of the lawj-rs who wanted to see to it that the meeting adjourned without taking even so much action as passing a resolution.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOUT? TT AT SATURDAY EVENING SEPTEMBER 11, 1915. iONEYCOiES If! Midsummer State Keyenne Is Highest on Record. Gross Receipts Exceed Two and Half Millions. INCREASE IN AUTO RETURNS Nearly $40,000 Was Collected for July and, August.- Collections on Bonds Come to More Than Million. Midsummer receipts for state de partments broke all records during July and August, according to a, state ment today from the office of W. EL Davis, state auditor. In the two mid summer months the gross revenues in state departments exceeded two and a half million dollars. The big showing for the summer months was made by the iitate fiscal agency, through which bond and se curity payments of more than a mil lion dollars were made. Under the present law, the state treasurer is the authorized fiscal agent for Kansas and looks after collections on all bonds. Payments on these bonds during July and August reached a total of $1,018,810.22. as against payments of $823,496.12 for the same period in 1914. Through the fiscal agency alone, the state made a gain of $190. 314.10 in collections in a two months period. Increase in Auto Department. Revenues of the automobile depart ment increased 75 per cent over 1914, the records show. From the sale of each automobile license tag, the state retains a fee of 75 cents, v.-hile a fee of 50 cents is retained from the sale of each motorcycle tag. In 1914 the Btate's earnings from this fund for July and August amounted to $22,482.25, as against $38,082.75 this year. Total fees from all sta-te funds and departments for the two months this year amounted to $2,508,108.05, as against slightly more than $2,200,000 m the same period in 1914. CURTAIN IS DOWN Continued from Page One.l war came, Rhode Island and Sprague were ready to rush to the front. Youthful Governor to Front. The youthful governor, at the head of 3,000 well-drilled troops, was one of the first to reach Washington. He marched with his vplunteers to the battle of Bull Run and later to the Peninsula. Governor Sprague was the last sur vivor of the famous conference of twelve northern governors at Altoona, Pa., in 1862. "We had to take a lot of abuse In return for our endorsement of Lin coln's emancipation proclamation." said Governor Sprague recently. "We were hissed in the streets and were denounced as traitors." At 33 years of age he entered the United States senate and served dur ing the administrations of Lincoln, Johnson and Grant. He married the beautiful and bril liant Kate Chase, daughter of Lin coln's secretary of the treasury and later chief justice of the I7niied States supreme court. Lincoln, his cabinet, congressmen and foreign ministers at tended. It was the most magnificent wedding ever held in the national cap ital up to that time. It is said to have cost more than $250,000- Brilliant Social Career. The young couple led a brilliai.t social career in Washington and Rhode Island. Sprague erected a beautiful mansion at Xarragansett Pier which cost $1,000,000 complete and was the show palace of the. state. The fdrniture alone, all foreign made, cost $260,000. More than $150,000 worth of art objects filled the four story frame structure. The, crash came in 1873. When the financial panic swept the country the $16,000,000 business house of the Spragues, which owned large print cloth factories and numerous other enterprises, went into bankruptcy. Lawsuits stripped the governor of his fortune, leaving him only his country home, named "Canonchet" af.cr an Indian chief. Before he had recovered from that blow another fell. Mrs. Sprague be came involved in a romance and sailed for Jamaica. Senator Rpscoe Conk llng was driven from the mansion at the point of a shotgun in the hands of Sprague. Divorce soon followed. Mansion Sold Over His Head. Later "Sanonchet" was sold over the head of the governor. Frank D. Moul ton paid $62,250 for the $1,000,000 es tate. When he appeared to take pos session he found "Canonchet" in a state of siege. Governor Sprague, armed with his historic shotgun and surrounded by his supporters, stood ready to repulse invasion. The siege lasted for many weeks, until the mat ter was taken into th" courts for set tlement. When Moulton died in 1SS6, his wid ow returned the- mansion to the gov ernor in consideration, it is said, of a mortgage for $62,600. Sprague im mediately moved in, bringing his sec ond wife, who was Mrs. Dora Inez Weed Calvert of West Virginia. The old place was dear to the aged states man. Here he had entertained such Americans as President Garfield, Chief Justice Chase. Horace Greeley, Gen. Benjamin Butler and Samuel J. Tilden. The last blow fell when "Canon chet" was destroyed by fire in 1909. The governor and Mrs. Sprague bare ly escaped with their lives. "I was in Washington the other day," said Governor Sprague, once in speaking of his eventful li'e. "The scenes there did not make me wish to be among them. Here in the quiet. after the heat of the day, I have found bliss. I bear no grudge against any man. and one of the comforts of my retirement is that I find nothing to condemn mankind for."

RUSS SCORE AGAIN Con ttjueWromPageOneJ developed near Grodno and on the road to Rovno. Artillery Battle In FVance. There has been a renewal of the heavy artillery fighting on the front in France. No infantry engagements are reported. Recent attacks by the army of the German crown prince in the Argonne were made with powerful artillery and heavy infantry forces in an effort to break through the French lines. Paris advices state. Although some trenches were taken, the attempt to break through failed, it is declared, leaving the situation in the Argonne essentially unchanged. Sharp, but undecisive, fighting is in progress along the Austro-ltalian bat tle line. According to the Constantinople war office the Turkish left wing on the Gal lipoli peninsula is gradually advanc ing, taking trenches which the forces of the entente allies have occupied. The French freighter Ville de Mos tasrnem has been sunk in the Mediter ranean by gunfire from a German submarine. Three men were wound ed. They, with thirteen other mem bers of the crew, were picked up. Other vessels sunk were the British steamer Cornubia, a 1,736 ton vessel, and a small fishing craft. The only new feature of the near eastern diplomatic puzzle is the asser tion from Bulgarian sources that Sofia feels her past neutrality is a sufficient reward for Turkish concessions. Rain or l-"ire in France. Paris, Sept. 11. Last night saw un interrupted artillery fighting at sev eral points along the line in France, according to the communication given out by the French war office today. There has been furthermore a par ticularly violent artillery engagement in the department of the Meuse, and along the front in Lorraine. GERMANY JUSTIFY SHOT fContlnned from Page One.l shelled by a submarine after a torpedo had missed her stern by a few yards on July 9. She was on a trip to the United States and carried as passen bers twenty -two Americans. Ambassador Geiard made some in quiries by direction of Washington and the German note now on its way is understood to be the result. What effect an attempt to justify the Orduna case would have on the situation already made delicate by the German stand on the Arabic was the subject of wide speculation today among officials, who regarded the at mosphere as far from favorable. Some Officials Softening. Overnight consideration of the note on the Arabic indicates a softening of views among one set of officials, who are inclined to further negotiations wilh Germany. Their views cannot be stated 33 being President Wilson's, but their views will be urged upon the president before he makes up his mind what to do. While they agree that Germany's reply is disappointing and unsatisfactory, they urge that the Arabic case has come down to ques tions of indemnity and of fact. The explanations offered by- Ger many for the sinking of the White Star liner differ materially from the state ment in the hands of President Wilson and Secretary Lansing. Those offi cials who favor further negotiation contend that a proper way to deter mine which set of facts is correct Is to let the case go to The Hague, where, they also contend, the question of in demnity could be arbitrated without endangering the principles for which the United States has contended as governing submarine warfare. There were indications in official quarters today that the United States had received more unofficial and In formal intimations that despite the at tacks on the Arabic and the Hesper ian, the German government actually had finally accepted the principle that unarmed merchantmen should not be attacked without warning, unless they attempted to escape or resist capture. Germany Accepts 17. S. View. The new note the United States will send to Berlin probably will be delayed until the second note from Germany, now on its way, has been received. It probably will point out, for one thing, that the mere assumption by a sub marine commander that his ship is about to be attacked, cannot be ac cepted as justification for torpedoing an unresisting merchantman. Such a stand by the United States is not expected to lead to complica tions. Officials consider that the fu ture depends on Berlin. Attack Up to The Hague. Secretary Lansing expressed the view that the United States was now facing the question of whether it is willing to let a court of arbitration decide if the submarine commander was justified in his act. The court, it is understood, would not be ex THE Piano Not After Cannot Call P.P.WHrTMORE MANAGE m n F Mil pected to touch rtie general subject of the legality of submarine warfare. Mr. Lansing refused to comment on the attitude of the United States, or its possible future action in regard to the offer. It is admitted today, however, that after sifting the evidence sub mitted' in the affidavits by passengers and officers of the Arabic,- a conclusion had been reached, but is not being da closed. Secretary Lansing would not comment other than to say there was no evidence before him to indicate that any one on board the Arabic had seen a submarine before the sinking of the ship. REBUFF PLEASES GERM-VN'IA. Berlin Paper Says U. S. Should Look to England In Arabic Case. Berlin, Sept. 11. "Dignified and satisfying" is Germania's characteriza tion of the German note on the Arabic case. The paper asserts the destruc tion of the steamer "violated none of the provisions of the agreement pre sented to the United States govern ment by Ambassador Von Bernstorff, for there is no doubt the Arabic in tended to attack the submarine." Germania declares there is every reason to believe the Arabic captain acted in accordance with his instruc tions, and adds: "If the United States has demands to make, they must be directed, not to Germany, which has observed the rules of warfare, but to Great Britain, which permitted passengers to board a vessel whose captain was instructed and determined to commit a belliger ent act if the opportunity offered." RANGER IS HELD Continued from Page One. Mexico, according to figures obtained here today. At one ranch near Sebastian, Tex., all four Mexican tenant families have left, reaving their crops unharvested and deserting what promised to be a record corn crop and large profits for themselves. Other Mexicans who own land have abandoned everything except a few household goods in their haste to get back into Mexico. A large portion, if not practically all, of these immigrants are what is termed here as- "Good Mexicans." They fear the bad men and revolu tionists among their own people on the American side. MEXICANS KILL BROTHERS. Disturbers Slay Countrymen In Texas W ho Are Friendly to 17. S. Brownsville, Tex., Sept. ll.i Anoth er Mexican was killed yesterday, this time by Mexicars, near Lyford, Just north of Brownsville. This was the second killing of Mexwans about Ly ford in the past two days. Five Mex icans were in the bai.d which killed their two countrymen. They were first seen Thursday night, when they skirt ed through the brush outside of the town. Detachments of the Twenty sixth infantry chased them, but lost them in the brush. Infantrymen are still on the watch for them. It was believed that the killing of the two Mexicans was an act of vengeance, the dead men having been friendly with Americans. One of the men in the band, apparently the leader, was rec ognized as a Mexican seen a few days ago among reaiders near the Rio Grande. For bandits to attack their own countrymen is something new In the border situation. A delegation fro:.i Sam Benito has asked Colonel Robert L. Pullard of the Twenty-sixth infantry, at Harlingen, for two more companies of infantry to be stationed i t San Benito. They said that forty American settlers al ready have left their farms in the San Benito section because of the Mexican troubles, but that the placing of more troops in that vicinity might give the farmers such feeling of security that they will stop leaving their homes. Although a groat majority of the people of the Rio Grande valley re gard the situation with calmness, it is a fact to some degree lhat Americans have been fleeing north and Mexicans fleeing south getting away from each other. In one hour's ride between here and Harlingen nire wagons were met carrying Mexicans and their posses sions back to Mexico. Military forces are now being dis tributed rapidly jver rural communi ties, and it is believed this military prctection may stop 'the moving away fever. The military movements are expected to be completed by the first of next week. U. S. Troops Control Border. Washington, Sept. 11. The border situation now is under full control of federal troops, Major General Funston reported today to the war department. the arrival of the Sixth cavalry brings the force up to two full regiments between El Tigre Arroya and Browns ville, a force sufficient, according to the general, to put down any upris ing or trouble by marauding bands. General Funston reported that with the forces now under h.s command he could patrol the entire Rio Grande front from Laredo to the gulf. "It is believed." General Funston's message said, "that with the force now at my command, it will be pos sible in the course of a short time to largely reduce, if not prevent, the activities of armed bands who may be marauding bands from the Mexican side or outlaws and horse thieves from the American side."

LOXDOJf PRAISES AYILSOX. Times Sees Veto If Congress Should Forbid War Shipments. London. Sept. 11. The Times in an editorial finds the president's affirma tion of the legitimacy of American trade in munitions in his decision re garding Dr. Dumba as important, "since it foreshadows the use of tho presidential veto should congress be weak enough to pass a bill forbidding the export of war materials.". "Dumba's dismissal," it adds, "at i any rate will convince Austro-German I propagandists that there are limits j even to American forbearance and j that when those limits are passed ret i ribution is apt to be swift and per j emptory." I RECALL PLEASES PARIS." Petit Parisien Says Act Will Be Felt y World Over. Paris. Sept. 11. The French press views with considerable satisfaction the action of the United States in call ing upon Austria-Hungary to remove Dr. Dumba as ambassador at Wash ington. "The die is cast and Washington is passing from diplomatic controversy to acts," said the Petit Parisien. "The note is courteous in style, but at the same time imperative. What ever Austria's response, the energetic act will have its effect upon the world." Alfred Capus says in the Figaro: "Nothing marks better the universal moral discredit to which our enemies have fallen than the note pointing out that Dumba no longer is acceptable. Certainly it is not a declaration of war, but it is declaration of incom patibility." DUMBA IS UPHELD. Vossische Zeitnng Twits "Free Amer ica" for Interference. Berlin, Sept. 11. 1:18 p. m. The report that the United States had re quested the recall of Ambassador Dumba was received too' late for gen eral comment in Saturday morning's Berlin newspapers, only the Morgen post and the Vossische Zeitung refer ring editorially to the report. The former says: "As long as only ad ispatch from British sources is at hand we will re serve our judgment. Should America really demand the" recall of the am bassador only because he, in the course of doing his "duty, warned his countrymen against treason of the Fatherland, it would afford new proof of the attitude, which may hardly be described as benevolent, that America has taken toward -us from the begin ning." The Vossische Zeitung says: "It does not seem to point to pro nounced good will on the part of the American government. The ambassa dor only did .his duty when he called the attention of subjects of the mon archy employed In munitions factories working for the allies to the criminal ity of their conduct under the laws of their fatherland. Even if as a result of the announcement that he was in duty bound to make, Austrian and Hungarian workmen should have stopped, that was nothing but their good right, and doubly so in. free America. "We learn," the Vossische Zeitung adds, "that printed sheets demanding the destruction of American munitions factories have occasionally been in serted secretly in German newspapers sent to Amerjca. Propaganda of this sort is as criminal as it is silly." It cannot be described otherwise than as grave misconduct." The newspaper adds a warning against a continuation of the practice it condemns. AUSTRIA IS SILEXT. Washington. Without Comment, Awaits Word From Vienna. Washington, Sept. 11. Austria had not responded today to President Wil son's request for the recall of her am bassador, Dr. Constantin Theodor Dumba. American officials declined to comment on the situation and like wise had nothing to say to Count von Bernstorff's declaration that he gave no communication to James F. Archi bald, the American who carried Doc tor Dumba's documents. Nothing further was done today in the cases of Captain Franz von Pepen, the German military attache, or Con sul General Nuber, of Austria, both involved in the incident which re sulted in the request for Doctor Dumba's recall. LONDON AIR RAID (Contlnned from Pag,e One.) lion harmless men, women and chil dren live. Here is war at the very heart of civilization, threatening all the millions of things that human hearts and human minds have created in past centuries. Mourners tonight will leave the side of their dead to look into the sky fearfully. Little children who have said, "Now I lay me down," and have gone to sleep, will be awakened and rushed into cel lars to save them from death. There are more cries. "Good God! It's staggering!" as the shrapnel flash breaks apparently near the great airship. But the Zeppelin moves on steadily. Killing Enters Every Heart. What an ode of joy would go up from the millions of this great city if they could suddenly see the yellow monster transformed into the form of one gigantic gas explosion. Little white-gloved hands clap their ap proval at the Zeppelin's near ap proach to death; white teeth show in smiles;" men roar with delight. These men and women flowers of twentieth century culture have become ele mental. Dirty, bloody, battle-mad sol diers feel this same way in battle. Killing has been put into the hearts of these crowds. If the men up there in the sky think they are terrifying London, they are wrong. They are only making England white-hot mad. The redness of a burning building fills the sky. The dome of historic St. Paul's cathedral looms up against the redness. You pass the old church In the side street. At the gateway stands the old burgher, half dressed. It has been his duty for the past fifty years to guard the church against thieves and fire, as other sextons have guarded it for centuries past. But he has got a bigger Job on his hands now than any of them ever had before. A Night of All Nights. The burgher's white-haired wife stands beside him. They are talking about such things as never entered the lives of sextons before. They are talking to three girls such as never came into the lives of church sextons, except on a night like this. They are pointing out to the aged couple the slowly fading yellow forms of the Zeppelins. We are all brothers and sisters on the streets of London tonight neither the man nor -the woman, neither good nor bad just humans outraged, mad, unwilling to die. It is a miracle the great gas. bag in the sky brings out. On the plinth of "Chinese" Gordon's monument sits a soldier and a girl. His arm is about her; her face is turned to his. Maybe they see the Zeppelin tonight, but now she is listening to the story which will be new when the books tailing the story of tonight's Zeppelin raid have crumbled into dust- They typify London end England unchanged one iota by this Zeppelin raid, which only ended in the loss of twenty harmless lives. The next day recruiting tripled. Bradstreet's Report. New York, Sept. 11. Bradstreet's says: "Trade trend continues upward, confidence as to the future is spread ing and while holidays as well as con servatism in some quarters have not allowed full rein to movements, the week has provided another budget of favorable factors. "Remarkable crop yields are indicated,- rural districts, as well rs wir order centers are in a position to spend money; railway traffic is heav ier, notwithstanding that wheat is slower than a year ago in getting to market. "Collections continue to mend; money is in better demand; commer cial paper sells more freely; new en terprises are more numerous; the stock market maintains a stronger un dertone; foreign exchange presents a more stable" appearance; practically every point In the south feels more optimistic, and even in the far north west, where low prices for lumber deter developments, there are signs of betterment."

The leaders in both American and National league races stepped ahead of their rivals by winning their games Friday while the other contenders failed to help their standings. The Philadelphia Nationals, by defeating the now tail end New Tork Giants, and thereby making a clean sweep of the series, gained half a game on both BrooKiyn, which had an open date, and Boston, which won and lost In a doubleheader with Pittsburg. The Boston Americans made their lead over Detroit more secure by win ning from Philadelphia, while Detroit was losing to Cleveland. This vic tory places the Red Sox three and a half games ahead of the Tigers. The Tigers move eastward today and begin a long series with the Yankees at New York. They then go to Boston for what may be the decisive series of the race. Pending the arrival of the Tigers, the Red Sox will entertain Chi cago, which made a valiant fight for the lead, but which is almost, if not completely, eliminated. National Leafrne. Clubs Won. Lost.

This lead has been gained largely at the expense of the Giants, who, for the first season in five years, find themselves not only out of the race, but. in undisputed possession of last place.

Walker Coburn, sixteen, who's shown in the east that he is one of th& coming great sprinters of the country, owes his chances for fame to the courage of surgeons. Walker was a cripple when a baby. When two years old he was placed on an operating table and doctors broke tho deformed limbs and straightened them. Each leg had to be broken and set twice. Now Coburn is exceptionally well developed. His ambition is to race into the shoes of Ralph Craig or Alvah Meyer. He practices daily on the playgrounds near his home. The boy's uncle was an athlete and one of the stars of Ireland in his youth.

Mike Gibbons and Packey McFarland are scheduled to do $32,500 worth of fighting in a ten round bout at Brighton B-each tonight. All' that now remains is for Joe Humphreys to make his officials peroration: "In this corner, ladies and gents. we have Packey McFarland, unde feated pride of the stock yards, vet eran of many a historic ring; and in this corner (business of a wide sweep of the left arm) we have Mike Gibbons,- but I need say no more." as tney tooK oir tneir giovea ror the last time before the fight each man deciarea nimseir to ne in tiptop condition and ready for a hard battle. Gibbons tipped the beam at 147 pounds and Packey weighed an even 148. The advance eale of tickets has reached about $33,000. according to the promoters. They figure now that the house will run over $70,000 and possibly may reach $100,000. There are seats for 52.000 persons. The prices ra'nge from $1 to $5 and before tonight it Is likely that all the top price seats will have been sold. Already large rolls of currency ar making themselves evident. Gibbons has been ruling a 10 to 8 favorite, but with the arrival of the advance guard from the west the odds began to shorten. Several wagers have been re corded on Broadway at 10 to 9 on Gibbons. McFarland's backers are asking for a better price but right now it looks as though the boys will enter the ring at even money.

Manhattan Expects to Have Title Contender This Year. Manhattan. Kan., Sept. 11. "Scrap piest bunch in the valley." will bo the slogan for the 1915 football squad of the Kansas State Agricultural college, which will start regular practice Sep tember 15 in compliance with the rules of the Missouri Valley confer ence. -I feel that the spirit is here and by coaching open football a speedy and fighting eleven should be devel oped." said John R. Bender, the new football coach and director of ath letics. "There is a possibility that Haucke, the giant fullback, will not return but the local rooters have not yet given up the idea of seeing the 'Big Chief" In uniform. With Haucke back the Aggie squad should make an impres sion in the Missouri valley. "The light men trying out for places on the team will have as good a chance as the heavyweights. In open play the former are more In demand than ten years ago." Coach Bender expects to depend largely upon speed and open play. New Men Promising. Much of the old material will not be available, but there are a number of men who are particularly promis ing among those who will try out for the respective positions. The schedule is one of the hardest in the history of the college, but Coach Bender expects to have his team whipped into shape by the date of the opening game with Southwestern col lege at Manhattan October 1. Those who will not return this year Include Marble and Scanlon. tackles; Briney, guard; Coxen, center; Hay maker, quarter; Captain Agnew, half; and Enns, half. Marble has gone to "Washington to teach and coach in the "Wenatchee high school, and Coxen will teach and coach at Austin, Tex. There will bo but one practice game prior to the game with Nebraska at Lincoln, but Coach Bender expects to make up in "pep" what will be lack ing in training. Hard Game With K. XT. Coach Bender looks for a hard game with Kansas university at Manhattan, October 23. "Practically all of the members of that team will be back," he said, "and the squad undoubtedly will be unusu ally strong." The following list of applicants for positions on the team has been given out: Wright. CI eland and Edwards, center; Moore, Bayer, Englund, Franz. Hines, -Briney and Givin, guards; Hewey star freshman of last year MacMillan. Oliver, Du Bois, Drumm, Scott, Houk. Harwood, Linn. Johnson, Lindholm, Hudson, Giles, Layton, Pax ton, J. D. Barnes. P.

Sept. 21-22 Professional tourna ment Country club. Sepi. 23-25 Third annual invitation tournament at Country club. Oswald Klrby of New Tork, holder of the metropolitan amateur and New Jersey golf championships last year, has suggested a change in the laying out of golf courses to make the ap proach harder and putting easier. He suggests that putting greens be made smaller. Kirby's suggestion follows discussion among golfers in which it was advo cated that the cup be enlarged to eight inches. "I believe greens should be much smaller and perfectly level," says Kirby. "An approach then would be exacting and the number of three-putt greens materially reduced. Eight-inch cups would never have been suggested If the putting greens had not been so large. "Personally, I can see no value in a putting green so great in size nd filled with undulations to make it dif ficult to get up to the hole." Another suggestion is that two or three putting greens be installed for one hole. With three greens, one to the leffc another straight ahead and another to the right, with a fairly wide fairway in front, three varieties of ap proach might be provided, as each green would be differently guarded, depending on the contour of the ground. After the drive the approach could rx 1,4 iVW BTfCLUG BIG GOLFPROGRAM Program of Country Club's Invi tation Tournament. Seventy-tvfo Hole Professional Match a New Feature. The most elaborate golf program ever arranged in Topeka will begin Tuesday, September 21, at the Coun try club when a number of noted pro fessionals will tee off in the special 72 hole open match that will precede the regular program of the Third Annual Invitation tournament of the club. Bob Peebles, Country club profes sional, has put himself to a great deal of trouble to arrange the professional match which will be of great value to the club members and visiting golf ers because it will give them a chance to see how those who "play the game for bread" handle their clubs. Five cash prizes will be awarded to the five "pros" who lead in the match when the seventy-second hole is reached. The regular play In the invitation tournament will begin Thursday at 7 o'clock in the morning and will last until Saturday. Golfers from all parts of the state have been invited and 10 members from the Shawnee club are expected to participate. All Shawnee club members are invited to attend the tournament and watch the professional match. One new feature that has been add ed to the Invitation tournament this year is the Pater-Felius match in which the father and son who turn in the lowest score will be awarded a trophy. The list of prizes that will be offer ed is as follows: Winner first flight. Capital cup; runner-up, special prize; winner sec ond flight, Woodward cup; runner up, special prize; winner third flight, Directors' cup; runner-up, special prize; winner fourth flight, Fassler cup; runner-up, special prize; winner beaten eight, first flight, special prize; winner, beaten eight, second flight, special prize; winner, beaten eight, third flight, special prize; winner beaten eight, fourth flight, special prize; 18 holes medal play, limited to all players who do not qualify in any flight, special prize.

Sea Girt, N. J., Sept. 11. Fred H. Wells, of New York, Friday won the Remington expert match at 1,000 yards with a score of 73 at the an nual rifle- tournament here. Two others, Sergeant George Jones and Lieutenant William Rupertus, of the marine corps, also scored 73, fcut took second and third place, re spectively. be Indicated and the old idea of an exacting approach getting home, which made for good golf, could be carried out. If you lose your form and play mis erably don't worry too much. Just think of what happened to the "big three," Ouimet, Travers and Evans in the national championship tourna ment. Before the tournament these three stood head and shoulders above any of the other contestants. Now they stand in the vanquished class. Robert Gardner of the Hillsdale club, Chicago, who won the amateur championship after the big three had been eliminated, is an athlete of some standing. As a member of the Tale track team Gardner once held the world's pole vault record with a mark of 13 H feet. Grantland Rice, the well known baseball writer, who witnessed the amateur golf championship at Detroit points out the following: "There were two more than inter esting features connected with the amateur golf championship at Detroit two among many others, for such an event the question as to whether or not most contenders don't play them selves out before the title stuff be gins. "The two features we refer to in volve Bob Gardner of Chicago and John Anderson of New Tork. All through this summer Gardner has been playing very little golf, most of it embracing a Sunday round. He made no preparation for the tour nament, got to Detroit only one day ahead, and in his first practice round, which he played with Jerry Travers, was at least 7 or 8 down. "Anderson played his last round of I golf at Baltusrol back in June. Imme diately after that he took charge of a boys' camp in the Maine woods, and had no opportunity to play a round from June to within a few days of the championship opening when he ar rived in Detroit. For nearly three months he had gone without any golf at all. "In his first round over the Detroit course Anderson took a 90. Tet An derson and Gardner, who have played less golf this summer than any of the other contestants, went smashing on through the field until they clashed in the Saturday final. This may be a freak of fate or It may prove something. If it proves anything, it is that both came to the tournament fresh and keen for the week's outing, and that it is far better to reach a tournament in this frame of physical and mental being than it is to overplay as so many do and become fagged after the start." n I SPORT WHEEZES Betas- PnlotMd Dor Ma, rrae Plea. LtmoB audwIebM, Eto. (By Clog.) Tomorrow should be a big Willard day in Emmett. The inter-county baseball tournament opens. Ladies will be admitted free at the post season City league game at West ern league park tomorrow. Ball teams wishing games with the Palace garage should call 74 and ask for the manager of the Palace team. Owner Savage of the Topeka West ern league team is out of the city on business. He will return for the fair next week. Cincinnati and St. Louis top the Na tional league in club fielding and club batting, but it's the old percentage ta ble that counts. Mrs. Gavin, the British golfer, is un doubtedly doing her best to win a vic tory for old John Bull. Ty Cobb has pilfered only 82 bases in 1S4 games this season. He has made only 9 sacrifice hits, and is bat ting only .370. Robert Fullerton, who has gone east on business, expects to play golf on the courses where he used to be a professional before returning. The New Tork Journal says: "Base ball is like poker to New York fans now. They only take a passing inter est in it." Magnates of the Western league are alleged to be meeting in Omaha to day, and it is rumored that the forced resignation of President O'Neill is sought. Also, the club owners want to outline economy plans for next sea son. Tennis experts are trying to explain why Maurice McLoughlin lost his third leg battle. Probably the best explanation is that Mr. Johnston just simply outplayed him. Do you recall the "boner" that the brainy Johnny Evers pulled in the 1914 world series? Probably not, sim ply because the "boner" did not count against the Braves in the final analy sis. An ugly bounder was hit at Evers. It was just within reach, but too far away for him to field cleanly. One of the Athletic runners crossed the plate on the drive and another raced from second to third. Evers, peeved because he had failed to field the ball, began throwing it down into his mitt sort of playing catch with himself. Evers was oblivious to every thing else, whereupon the Athletic runner on third shot for home and scored, almost before Evers was awake to the trick. The Boston Red Sox carry their own moving picture man with them. His name is George Murray and he took pictures of games played during the western trip. It is the plan of Presi dent Lannin of the Boston club to dis play the pictures during the winter in various Massachusetts cities as part of a lecture series on baseball. How Frank Baker's swatting ability is regarded in the Delaware County league is strikingly illustrated by the following short yarn: In one of the recent games played by the Upland club, of which Baker is a member, the home run wonder came to bat with the bases full. As Frank walked to his place, the opposing club's captain strolled in to the pitcher and gave In structions that Baker should be given a base on balls. "Pass him!" ejacu lated the pitcher, "why, that will force in a run." "Sure it will," replied the manager, "but that is much better than having him drive in two or three." CLTB OWNERS IN OMAHA. Special Western League Meeting Be ing Held in Rourke's Town. Omaha, Neb., Sept. 11. Club own ers of the Western league gathered in Omaha Friday night for a meeting to be held today, the purpose of which is being kept secret. There is a rumor that the meeting has to do with the sale of the Omaha franchise. A report also is being cir culated that important changes in the league management may be made at this meeting. O'Neill Is Silent. Chicago, 111., Sept. 11. President O'Neill of the Western league de clined to comment on the report that efforts were being made to transfer the ownership of the Western league franchise at Omaha. "Red" Dunbar a Vale Coach. South Bend, Ind., Sept. 11. Noel ("Red") Dunbar, former line coach of the University of Notre Dame and a graduate of the South Bend high school, has accepted the position of defensive line coach for Yale. Dun bar graduated in Yale and won his monogram there as a center. He is now an architect in South Bend. Wants Willard-Coffey Fight. Cleveland, O., Sept. 11. Matt Hin kle, fight promoter, left for New York Friday with the avowed purpose of arranging a world's heavyweight championship battle between Jess Wil lard, title holder, and Jim Coffey, the big Irish scrapper. Hinkle said he had secured conditional promises from both the champion and his manager, Tom Jones, to take on Coffey. Kid Williams Fouled Krtle. St. Paul. Minn., Sept. 11. Johnny Ertle. of St. Paul, was fouled by Kid Williams, of Baltimore, world's cham pion bantamweight, in the fifth round of their scheduled ten-round no-decision fight here Friday.

Black more, who for seven years has been local agent for the Santa Fe system of this city, the Arkansas City Commer cial club gave a luncheon at the Fifth Avenue hotel at which the leading manufacturers. merchants, bankers and other business men delivered ad dresses. Mr. Blackmore has been promoted to the Santa Fe agency at Wichita. The luncheon was given in order that the citizens here might express their appreciation of Mr. Blackmore as a citizen and as a competent railroad official. The expressions of regret at losing Mr. Blackmore were universal, although his promotion is appreciated by his many friends. Mr. Blackmore is succeeded by Mr. R. H. Rhodes of Lyons.

There are 18 entries in the free for all pace and that will be some race, belijve me. If you are look ing ror fast steppers you will find them at the fair this year. 'In the 2:14 trot "Miss Omar," owned by C. D. Bell, of Council Grove: 'Lord Duke," owned ty Shinstock Bros., of We3t Point, Neb.; "David Look." owned by Harry Spratt, of St. Joe, and Seminole Chief,' owned by D. S- Wilcox, of Guthrie, Okla., are all fast ones. "I am looking for the 2:30 trot, on Tuesday, for the $1,000 purse, to be one of the best races of the meet. A Topeka horse, 'Yours Truly," owned by William Mespelt, can step a mile in 2:14 and has a mtrk of 2:164, looks to be one of the real good things. 'Venetian Red," "Ansinetta," 'Mudje Keewiss," will all be contenders for the purse. "The 2:14 pace will bring a bunch of horses that arc about on par. There is 'Billy, the Kid," 'Miss Lou," 'Bess Ward" and 'Floretta Hawk," who will all give a good account of themselves.- "Tou can depend on it that Topeka track records will be broken this year. The rains have put the track in fine condition. It is fast as a bullet. Those who are worried about the track be cause of the rains don't know what makes a fast half mile. Why, that ditch inside the track when it stands full of water just the same as puts springs under, the track same as a dancing floor. Look out for some of the records to go; that's all I have to say." NEW CHARGES BROUGHT Patrolman Claims K. C. Police Chief Guilty Breach of Conduct. Kansas City, Sept. 11. New and amended charges were added to those already made against Jra Bonwell, Kansas City, Kan., police captain, Fri day by Pearl Lockridge, a patrolman. The new charges were filed after the civil service board had refused to hear testimony on charges filed more than a month ago, saying they "were too general in their character." The new charges are: "Cursing and browbeating subordinate officers; failure to co-operate in raiding gam bling dens and 'blind tigers,' intimi dating, witnesses and favoritism in handling prisoners." The civil service board will hear the charges next Tues day. INDIAN FAIR OPENED FRIDAY. Record Breaking Crowd at Exhibition on Pottawatomie Reserve. Mayetta. Kan., Sept. 11. The first annual Pottawatomie Indian fair fctarted off today with a record break ing crowd, the management having sold more tickets today than was pro vided for the two days. The display of farm and garden products raised by Indian farmers was large and exceptionally good. The In dians' efforts to make the fair a suc cess were shown in the fact that their displays were as large and the quality as good as is seen in the average coun ty fair. Their best exhibits were in corn, potatoes, canned fruits and do mestic art. DROUTH HITS EMMETT. Corn Is in Poor Condition and Plow ing at a Standstill. Emmett, Kan., Sept. 11. During August the government- rain gauge here registered the lowest precipita tion of any of the 200 stations in Kan sas, and as a result the corn is suf fering for rain, and vory little plow ing for wheat has been done. There were seven showers that measured just a trace, and one measurable rain which netted .39 of an inch of rain. In most places over the state the rainfall averagad from 3 to 7 inches. The precipitation was so much less here ihat S. D- Flora of Topeka. made it the subject of a special letter to Frank Zima, the local observer, to as certain if a mistake :n the records had been made.

In all harness races there are 403 entries a record for mid-west territory. Since Friday morning steady streams of exhibits have been pouring through the gates. The volume will continue tomorrow. William Kopseker in Full Flight in One of His Military Monoplanes. Fair officials and superintendents of departments will be at their sta tions all day tomorrow. For those who wish to engage boxes at the horse show, the chart will be at the secre tary's office in charge of Charles Mitchell Sunday morning from 10:30 to 11:30. In all exhibit departments addition al space has been provided for the big displays. Besides the races, monoplane flights, exhibits and horse shows, a number of shows will be located on the midway. From Two Fairs. "Three special trains of exhibits from the Nebraska state fair at Lin coln, and a special train of exhibits from the Minnesota state fair at Ham line will come to the big free fair at Topeka," said Samuel E. Lux. presi dent of the Kansas State Fair associa tion. "These exhibits from these two fairs would be sufficient to make us a larg er fair than we had last year, but be sides these there are scores of exhib its coming from other places and we already have upwards of 25 cars of exhibits already in place. Every barn, every building and every exhibit space is already crowded. We have built an extra horse barn and will begin at once on an additional cattle barn. We "will also have to use a tent to help house the cattle. The swine department will be crowded and if entries keep on coming we.- will have to build, more pens. We have 160 head of 'cattle more than we have room for In the cattle barn. "With exhibits coming from New Tork. New Jersey, "Virginia. Kentucky, Texas, Wisconsin, Ohio, Indiana, Min nesota, Mississippi and a dozen other states we will have the biggest fair ever held in Kansas." Arrangements are being made by the fair management to handle a crowd of at least 75,000 Monday. "Topeka is a community of 50,000," said Samuel Lux, secretary of the Kansas State Free Fair association to day, "and it is my opinion, barring rain, that the greater part of the en tire population will be on the grounds. Then, there ia not the least doubt that the out of town crowds will swarm to the city. I have talked with men from all parts of the state. They say with out an exception that the Topeka Free Fair has struck a popular chord every place that they have visited and in their home communities. Governor Capper, recently returning from a trip over the state, reports that the entire state is talking of our fair." Today exhibits and entries in prac tically all departments were rolling in. in a steady stream. The grounds is a tent city. Along the drives, cin dered as a precaution against rain, refreshment stands, souvenir booths and exhibit tents are springing into place with uncanny rapidity. Monday when the gates of the first free fair In the world pwing open, a mass of humanity will rush in. At night the grounds will be lighted by thousands of electric globes. To day the Edison Electric company, with its small army of engineers, is putting the finishing touches to the mammoth lighting system. Topeka Is Ready. Topeka is ready for its mighty host. At the Commercial club, J. Will Kel ley, secretary, with Miss Jones, his stenographer, at the telephone almost continuously are arranging for rooms for visitors. Hotels are filling with rapidity. Railroads running into To peka are putting on special equipment while the Topeka Street Railway com pany promises to add enough extra cars to handle the traffic. Chief Har vey Parsons is policing the city and exhibition grounds with regular and special police. Topeka fair officials are firm in their conviction that 'the city's police chief and his lieutenants can handle any emergency that may arise. Arrangements are being made at the fair grounds to handle the crowds in an orderly manner. Entering the gates vehicles will drive west past Ag ricultural hall toward the west end of the grand stand and on around the race track and back to the gates by the east drive. On the east side of the grounds two gates have been made one at the Twenty-first street and the other at Twentieth street for ex its Vehicles will be kept moving in the same direction and traffic will not be allowed to cross. Large oak posts have been erected just behind the race track fence at the auto parkings. These are a precau tion against autos in the races to be held Friday to keep them from dash ing through the fences into the crowds in case of accidents. A polo field in side the quarter stretch has been built by experts sent to Topeka from Fort Riley. The field ia 737 feet in length and 300 feet wide. The Polo Games. The first polo game will be played Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock and the second Friday mcrning at the same hour, each game lasting two hours. The grounds will be in first class condition. During the game no autos will be allowed to park inside the limits of the quarter stretch. At various times during the week the crowds will be thrilled by a Tope iiii'Vy' '"'i urn in iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiHiiiiiiiniiiiji. ka aviator, William Kopseker. Mr. Kopseker will make his first flight in a military monoplane, built in Topeka, Monday afternoon at 5 o clock, ine machine is a new one and Monday afternoon's flight will be the initial ono in the new plane. The flights will be made from the quarter stretch- sporting blood of the race track win boil to fever pitch during the week The fastest horses in the country will compete and records will probably be broken. The feature races will be run Monday and Tuesday. R. T. Kreipe, superintendent of the speed depart ment, points out that the speed entries are larger this year than ever before on Kansas tracks. Four hundred and three entries in the harness races have been made. The free-for-all pace which will start with between fifteen and eight een entries will be the big race of its kind. Among the horses with records between 2:05V4 and 2:084 that will enter this race are: Columbia Fire, Hal McKinney, Minnie Chimes and Sly Walnut. The race will be run Tuesday with a $1,000 purse- The Kansas derby, a race jprhich never fails to be attractive, will be run Tuesday. Private boxes for the horse show and races have been erected across the track from the grandstand. The Biggest Thrill. The greatest thrill of all will be Fri day afternoon when Farmer Bill En dicott. driving the Case Comet; Zip Kizer, 'driving his famous racer, the Scat; Fred Horey, the Canadian cham pion, driving a Fiat; Johnny Raiivjy, driving a Briscoe; H. L. Kilpatrick, with his 200 horsepower AJax, and Lew Gunning, driving his Bullet, step ping on the tails of their monster racers, will tear around the track in a cloud of dust and moke with cut outs open, insane with the master mania known in the racing world as "High Speed." The live stock departments will corns in for their full share of attention. The cattle pavilion with a capacity ot 400 he:id has been found too small to ac commodate all the entries and addi tional barns for 160 head have been erected. In the horse department the managers are up against the same proposition. The horses entered range from the big Canadian drafts and Percherons to tiny Shetlands. C. E. Brown of Pekin, 111., and George Heyl of Washington, 111., recognized as the most extensive breeders of Shetland3 and Hackneys in the United States, will show here.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL SATURDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 11. 1915. BULL MOOSE COMING BACK? Signs of a Return to Old Feed ing Ground. Fred W. Knapp, of Beloit, Is snes an Appeal. URGES THE HERD TO UNEU Get Behind G. O. P. in the Next Election. Anderson for Consrress and Capper for Governor. Fred W. Knapp, of Beloit, dropped a bomb tn the political affairs of the Sixth district today by urging Pro gressives not to place a congressional candidate in the field in 1916, but to lineup behind the candidacy of R. M Anderson, of Beloit. Knapp was sec retary of the Progressive state com mit in 1914 and his statement to day virtually outlines the policy of the Progressives not to place a state or district ticket in the neia next yeai, but to support progressively inclined Knapp s open support 01 Anaereuii i of vital importance in tne reanoi ah derson-Benton fight in the Sixth dis trict. But Knapp's statement goes even farther than the borders of th.e hie northwest. The former Beloit editor declares that Kansas Progressives are noi in accord with Roosevelt's position on foreign affairs, but that they will select and support Republicans or me pro gressive tvDe for district, state and national ffi npvt vear. Knapp in dicates that the Progressives should stand with Capper and Bristow and support a Hughes or Cummins delega tion from Kansas. The statement is the first official utterance from Bull Moose aitthorities as to the definite nlatm nf the Progressives in 1916. "Max" Anderson, whose- support by th Progressives is urged by Knapp, is a widely known Beloit lawyer, is chairman of the Republican commit tee in Mitchell county and has been active in the political affairs of the Sixth district for a number or years. Knapp's Statement. Knapp's statement as to the posi tion of Kansas Progressives and his unqualified endorsement of Anderson's candidacy is as follows: "Governor Capper's stand for clean and efficient conduct of the state' g business affairs, his demand for re duced appropriations and expendi tures, his appointment of the more progressive Republicans to most of the important positions arid his refusal to be dictated to Dy any coterie or professional politicians, commend themselves most highly to all pro gressive thinking citizens of Kansas. In view of the fact that his follow ing this course has brought forth the criticism and opposition of the lead ers of the old "Republican leageu who Joined with the Democrats and effected his defeat four years ago, it seems to ma that Progressives w'JU sacrifice none of their principles but will be acting in a fitting manner by endorsing his actions and adminis tration by participating in the Repub lican primaries and giving Mr. Capper their hearty support. "In the Sixth congressional district we have a similar condition. We found two years ago when there was a standpat Republican nominee that the Progressive party vote merely re sulted in the re-election of Mr. Con nelly. In my judgment the result would be no different in the coming campaign under like conditions. For this reason it would seem to me to be the part of wisdom for Progressives Instead of naming a third-party can didate to line up behind R. M. An derson, of Beloit, in the Republican primaries. He Is a Bristow Man. "Mr. Anderson was an avowed Bris tow supporter in the primary contest two years ago and his leading oppon ent, if nominated, would be anything but satisfactory to the progressive Re publicans of the district. Mr. Ander son is not only a lawyer of recognized ability but he has the other qualities which would make him one of the ablest representatives the Sixth dis trict ever had in congress. He has done more effective advertising for northwest Kansas through his promo tion of good roads and automobile trails and highways than any other person in it and his aggressive inclina tions along these lines would soon find recognition in the halls of congress. No one ever has to guess where he stands upon any public question, and in my judgment, his stand upon all these questions would be taken where It would best serve the people of the district who honored him with his election. "Aside from all these local condi tions. I do not believe that Kansas Progressives agree with Mr. Roose velt's utterances with reference to our relationship to the European ar nor that they are especially interested in the maintenance of separate party organization provided the Republican party leaders and nominees are of a clean and progressive type of men. To this end I believe more will be gained by joining hands with Gover nor Capper, Senator Bristow and oth ers of that type who are striving to send a delegation from Kansas to the national Republican convention in structed for Hughes or Cummins or some other live progressive Repulican instead of permitting a few politicians to carry back an uninstructed delega tion in their vest pockets." progress of the war, showing the keenest interest. Himself a soldier, the real father of the Greek army of today, and the vic torious leader of his nation's troops in the two Balkan wars, the king follows with techincal comprehension every move of the opposing armies. He does not appear to share the gen eral uneasiness in this country con cerning what is regarded as the Bul garian peril. BELLE BEACH HERE High School Horse of America at Free Fair. TO SHAKE DIGE WITH DEATH Some of the Most Famous Auto mobile Drivers RAILROADS Crowd of 80,000 Watched Her Dance in the Fast. "Belle Beach" is coming to the Horse Show. By way of introducing "Belle" to the patrons of the Big Free fair it can be stated that "Belle Beach" is the greatest high school saddle mare in America. She is owned by Dinks Parrish, of St. Louis, who wouldn't even t ut a price on her. She will be shown and ridden by Tom Bass, of Mexico, Mo., who needs no Introduc tion to Topeka for he was- here some dozen years ago with "Limestone Bol!e." If you happened to be at the fair grounds the week that Bass was here with "Limestone Belle" you will re member them both, for they were the sensation of the fair. "Belle Beach, so the experts say, is Hare Signed Up to Race at To peka Fair. LOUIS DISBROW TO BE HERE Sixteen Jfoted Speed Maniacs to Draw From. Racing Cars and Drivers Will Be on View. In signing up several of the famous professional automobile drivers and scheduling speed contests and time trials as a feature of the Big Free Fair, President Sam Lux has followed the custom established at the Minne sota, Michigan, Iowa and Illinois state fairs, and If this sort of enter tainment proves as successful in these parts as it has proven on the tracks of the other big fairs and on the treat speedways, new attendance records SCHUMACHER OUT Rock Island Chairman Resigns From Board of Directors. Phelps-Dodge Interests Lose Control of Railway. Thomas M. Schumacher has re signed as chairman of the board of di rectors of the Rock Island lines. Just where the realignment of the various elements in the Rock Island will lead is not clear, but it is evident that the breaking up of the old lineup means some definite developments soon, Schumacher's resignation as a direct or and as chairman of the road, leaves three vacancies to be filled, Arthur Curtiss James and James McLean having resigned Tuesday. Chairman Schumacher's retirement completes the withdrawal of the Phelps-Dodge interests. It is be lievod in financial circles that the re cent market was made for the purpose of permitting those interests to unload their holdings. At the time the Phelps-Dodge inter ests entered the Rock Island man agement it was expected that they would become the dominant power. Messrs.

NO. 23 GONSTANTINE ROBUST King Tells A. TP. Man He Is Not Wor. rled About Bulgarian Peril. Athens. Friday, Sept. 10.-(Via Paris. Sept. 11.) King Constantine of Greece received the correspondent of the Associated Press today at Chateau Dekelia. the summer residence of the royal -family at Totoi. The king ex pressed regret at his inability, owing to the present critical state of nation al affairs, to make any statement at this juncture respecting the policy which will be pursued by Greece. The king apparently has recovered completely from his recent illness. He is bronzed by the summer sun and seems to be in perfect health, ready to take the saddle tomorrow in the capacity of leader of the Greek forces, should occasion require. He does not look for such a contingency, however. For an hour the king discussed the the greatest ever and "Limestone Belle" and all her daintiness is forgot ten when she steps out. "Belle Beach" is a high school mare who has won every honor and leads her class. 'Belle Beach' is an extremely In telligent mare," said Dr. C. W. Mc- Campbell, who has seen her perform. "She does the high trot, siaewaiK, Divot, cake walk, bow and kneel, and experts say she does them with more elegance and 'struttiness' than any horse n America, bhe keeps abso lute time to fast music and to slow music. She was the sensation at the Des Moines fair and at the Minnesota state fair 80,000 people gave her the greatest ovation ever accorded an animal. She is conceded to be the handsomest mare in the United States and she has a perfect disposition. Par rish would not sell her at any price. Tom Bass is glad to eome back to To peka. He says he will never forget the fine treatment he received at To peka and he is anticipating a pleasant return engagement."

SHE DEFIES THE RAIN Woman Theater Patron Changes Her Shoes Before Starting Home. She wore a fluffy white dress, white silk atockings yes they could be seen between the bottom of the skirt and the tops of her oxfords, which were spick and span in their whiteness. She carried a small bundle under her arm and she went to one of the theaters last night. And the rain came with the thunder and lightning. There were many com plaining remarks made by the peo ple in the theater about the rain and how wet their clothes would get. But the woman in white remained calm and enjoyed the program- When the curtain fell on the last act the crowd pushed toward the doors but that's as far as it cared to push. Outside the rain was coming down in torrents. Still the young woman was calm. She edged to one side of the crowd near a radiator in the back of the theater and stooped down with her package in her hand. A few deft moves with her hands and the woman had ef fected a change that made it possible to go out into the rain. The woman walked out of the the ater. She carried two white shoes under her arm. Seme people thought she was barefooted but a second look convinced the most skeptical that she had just changed her shoes and was wearing black ones. What did she care for the rain with a change of shoes with her? Caloric Fireless Cookers at Forbes. Adv. surely will be established this fall. Automobile racing has become the biggest sport in America in recent years, and more money has been paid to see racing cars compete than has been paid by the public to see any other sporting event in the world's history. The attendances at world's championship baseball games, the Yale-Harvard football games in the Yale bowl, and the Harvard stadium, the Olympic games in Europe and America, and other national and inter national sporting events, including world's championship fistic eonteste, pale into insignificance when com pared to the attendances that were recorded at Indianapolis during the speedway races and at the Minnesota, Michigan and Illinois state fairs when the championship dirt track automo bile races were staged. J. Alex Sloan, who managed the races at the Minnesota, Michigan and Illinois state fairs last year and for the past several years, and who will manage the races in connection with the Topeka fair this year, has kept a record of the attendances at the vari ous race, meets which he has con ducted, and he has shown beyond a doubt that more people have paid their way through race track gateis to witness motor contests than ever at tended any other sporting events in America. When Mr. Sloan signed to manage the races in connection with the To peka lair this year, he refused to make any claims as to the number of people who would turn out to witness the celebrated dare-devils shake dice with Death in their efforts to establish new track records and compete for the cash and trophies offered this year, but he is bold in his claims for next year after the people of this section of the country have once seen auto mobile racing sport. And that Mr. Sloan is right in his claims, in the premises, is shown by his experiences at the other big fairs of the country where automobile racing has broken all attendance records. In securing Mr. Sloan this year for the Topeka fair. President Lux was rortunate, not so much on account of Mr. Sloan's presence, but because he has the biggest following of racing car drivers of any man interested in the promotion of motor competition. He has the pick of no less than sixteen famous speed-maniacs to draw from, and has assured the local fair officials that he will have present such drivers as Louis Disbrow, world's track and beach champion, Eddie Herne, former world's speedway champion, Johnny Rainey, champion short distance track driver, Fred Horey. Canadian cham pion, and several others. The program of events which will be run off at the Big Free Fair will include everything from the mile rec ord trials to the free-for-all races. A novelty contest, and the famous Aus tralian race, will be included as a part of the program. All the racing cars will be placed on exhibition in the Fair Grounds, so that those who are un able to see the races will be given a chance to see the drivers and cars and become acquainted with them.

This old structure has not been used for twelve years, yet all dislike to see it go. It was the second railroad bridge to 'be built over that river, construction of which began in 1871. The Burling ton bridge at Kansas City was opened in 1868. The old Rock Island bridge cost $600,000 and was considered a great structure in its early days. It has gone through a number of receiv ership sales and at one time most all of its bonds were held in Holland. At one sale it sold for only $10,000. Since that time it has not been kept up and it has been deteriorating ever since. About Car Shortage. In his latest volume of statistics. Slason Thompson states that since 1907 American railways "have beer, vexed with a surplus" of freight cars, as shown by the records of shortage and surplus. This is strictly true as a matter of statistics, in which a car is a car. Nevertheless there is and has been a tremendous shortage of cars which are economically fit to operate or even safe to use. Almost every rail road of any importance in the coun try has from one thousand to thirty or forty thousand freight cars which are scheduled for rebuilding or for scrapping. There must be more than half a million such cars in the United States. "Hallo. Bibber, so you got home last night without being torpedoed."

The first dose helped me and every day I have become stronger. I now seem to get greater nourishment from my food and no longer have indigestion and feel so tired and depressed.- I think Tanlac is the finest thing I ever have seen." Such statements as the foregoing should appeal directly to the thou sands of those who suffer from the same trouble, said Mr. Pope, in com menting upon Mrs. Dorman's state ment. "Most of sueh people," continued he, "suffer from nervousness, dizzi ness, headaches, stomach and liver troubles, backache, kidney derange ments, depression of spirits, imperfect digestion, sleeplessness, or are sus ceptible to coughs and colds.

And Sell Crude Oil for Less, Asks Evans. Earl Evans of Wichita, attorney for the Standard Oil company, is anxious to know if Kansas oil producers really want less money for their oil ana it Kansas consumers really want t pay high prices- He believes the answer to these questions will solve the Standard-Independent oil row in this state. The Wichita attorney came to To peka today to confer with S. M. Hawkes, assistant attorney general, re garding the oil situation and the re cent complaints of Joe Longshore, former state oil inspector. Evans is inclined to see the, humorous side of th oil and gas dispute and he won ders if Kansas has really lost her in terest in the downtrodden producer, the poor, unprotected ultimate con sumer and concerned herself only with the affairs of the independent refin ers. Recently Longshore, as a repre sentative of an independent company, complained to S. M Brewster, attor ney general, as to the unfair treat ment of the independents. He said the Standard had advanced the price of crude oil beyond all reason and refused to advance the price of refined oil. Now Evans recalls the days when Kansas shed t:ars because of the un protected producers ar.d the badly treated ultimate consumer. That was when Kansas threatened to build a re finery of her own and stopped only because of an adverse constitutional provision. "I have been out of the state since this thing started," said Evans, "but 1 am anxious to know if there is any determined demand that the producers get less money for their oil and that the consumers pay more for their gas oline. I expect to come to the meet ing in Topeka and hear what Mr. Longshore has to say about it ONE OF THE BIG ONES Meeting of Santa Fe Storekeepers at Albuquerque Tins Jionm.

Foreign rela tions, foreign exchange, highly promis ing crop prospects and continued im provement in ihe steel and iron trade furnished the diverse factors which governed the short week in the stock market. Trading was resumed after the holi days with an increased belief in the adjustment of differences between Washington and Berlin and sentiment derived further encouragement from the arrival of the Anglo-French fi nance commission authorized to cor rect the intolerable conditions between this center and Europe's leading monetary markets. Speculation Halted. These auguries were swept aside when it became known that Germany had declined to grant indemnity in connection with the sinking of the Arabic and Washington had requested the withdrawal ..f the Austrian am bassador. Walt street saw in these de velopments the possibility of new in ternational complicatiors and reversed its speculative attitude- The decline, which wiped out most of the mid-week's advances, was ac celebrated by renewed foreign selling; coupled with further bearish activity. Some of the war specialties soared to new heights but much if not all the gain was lost in Friday's declines. As a matter of fact interest in these is sues is steadily diminishing except in sofar as they point to the increasing demand for our war products. Steel Mills Busy. Steel mills continue to work at full capacity and another advance of prices confirms recent predictions. One of the most favorable and substantial features of that industry is the plac ing of orders for equipment by the railroads. Traffic returns by leading roads show irregular conditions. Increased copper dividends declared during the week are the result of recent, rather than present conditions in that trade. Weather Report From Other States. Amarillo. Tex Itoaton. Mass l'.uffnlo, N.

BAIL KING DEAD End to Sir William Van Home, Empire Builder. From Bottom of Ladder to Wealth and Fame in Canada. Montreal. Sept. 1 1. Sir William an- Horne, for years prominent in trans-continental railroad develop ment in Canada, died today in the Royal Victoria hospital here. Sir William Van Horne rose from the- foot of thi ladder to wealth and fame as one of the so-called pmoire builders of Canada. Although he was born m the United States in Will coun ty, Illinois, February 3, 1843, and gained railway experience through many years' connection with railroads in the central and Western United States, it- was after his moving to Canada and becoming gt neral tnana ger of the Canadian Pacific railway In 1882 that he achieved his most notable triumph by pushing the railway to completion .across the continent. All the rest of his active life he was one of the hi-ads of the Canadian Pacific, being- vice-president from 1884 to 18S8, -president from 188 to 189 9, and chairman of the beard of directors from 1899 to 1610. Sir William was the son of Cornelius Covenhovan Van Home, who was a lawyer. at Joliet, 111. The death of his father left young Van Horne to fight the battle of life when he was only 13 years of age. He was fascinated from the first with the life of a rail way man, for his first job- was in the railroad yards. He toon afterward became a telegraph operator for the Illinois Central, and his s.t rides ahead in various capacities with the Michi gan Central railway and the Chicago Alton brought him up to his first important executive position as gener al superintendent of the St. "Louis, Kansas City Northern in 1872. Be fore going to Canada he also served as general manager of the Southern Minnesota railway and general super intendent of the Chicago Alton and the Chicago, Milwaukee St. Paul. He was knighted by Queen Victoria in May, 1904, in recognition of his re markable work in Cani-da, which in cluded not only his railway and indus trial interest, but si-mi-public service as a governor of McGill university and the Royal Victoria hospital and nu merous other institutions, and notable contribution to the Canadian store of art treasures. DOCTORS, BEWARE! "A Chiel's Amang Ye Takin' Notes an' Kaith He'll Prcntlt." Ubiquitous reporters have caused a terrible row among Topeka doctors. Yes, a crrible row. The ethics of the profession have been violated and the Shawnee County Medical association is going to see to it that no one doctor gits any more publicity than another. It is entirely wrong. An order has been sent out to all doctors that they must not talk be fore reporters. If any new discovery is made the medical journals must get the etory of the discovery and not the newspapers. If a physician attends an unusual case, that has in teresting details, nothing must be said about it. The efhics of the, profession must be held inviolable at all times and any doctor that so much as breathes before a reporter is in great danger of losing his seat in the Shaw nee County Medical association whatever that means. Every public service act performed by local doc tors is frowned on by the association especially if there happens to be a mention of it in the newspapers. It is expected that the doctors will issue a "white paper" or "yellow pa per giving the members of the as sociation rules and regulations as to their conduct before reporters. A great breach of ethics has been made and it must not take place again DAMAGE TO RAILROADS Three Lines in Fort Scott Estimate Loss at $15,000. Fort Scott, Kan., Sept. 11.

SPECIAL SERVICE ON ALL RAILROADS The First Big Free Fair To Be Held in the United States LOCAL LEAGUE FORMED Preliminary Organization for Seeur ity Is Made In Topeka. A temporary local organization oZ the National Security League of Amer ica was formed today at the Commer cial club with Luther C. Bailey, pres ident, and J. Will Kelley as secretary. The local league was formed following an address by William B. Brewster, a representative of the league from New York, wherein Mr. Brewster outlined the purpose of the organization as was set forth in his interview printed in the State Journal Friday evening. Today Mr. Brewster eiated that the league was working to establish the budget system of army and navy ap propriations in congress and do away, with the pork barrel in such matters. The league also expects to increase the size of the mobile standing army and National Guard in this country and make efforts to have the recommenda tions of the country's experts adopted and carried out by congress. A hot fight in the next congress was predicted by the league repre sentative when the question of addi tional defence comes up. Mr. Brew ster also stated that his leagtre will urge the abolishment of useless naal stations and army posts which are costing the government millions of dollars every year. The temporary organization formed today will take up tire matter of or ganizing a permanent league in To peka immediately after fair week. Those who attended today's meeting at the Commercial club: J. Will Kell-ey, P. I. Bonebrake, Frank P. MacLen nan, C. S. Elliott, Scott Hopkins, L. C. Bailey, J. P. Slaughter, J. A. Troutman, and C.

Mr. Lash plunged into the bathing pool here, not knowing that it had been closed for cleaning, and was sucked through a twelve inch outlet pipe 250 feet long, into the ocean. Lash was drawn into the pipe in the position of a diver, with his hands above his head, and was cast out a quarter of a minute later with both arms broken at the shoulders and lac erated from head to foot.
