WANTS AUTOMOBILE FUND Spent Under the Direction of the State Authorities. Believes Population Would Double in Five Years. Twenty-five million dollars in bonds fcr permanent state highways Is pro posed bv Earl Akers, state treasurer. He will advocate a constitutional amendment for internal improvements and a subsequent bond issue by the state for permanent road building. He also urges an amendment to the state automobile license law, placing ex penditure of the fund under state direction. Akers's road plan has the en dorsement of hundreds of good road boosters and will be a real issue before the 1917 legislature. January 1 the state will be free from debt and will at that time pay off the last dollar of her bonded indebtedness. Because of the state's excellent financial condi tion, Akers believes a 25 million dol lar issue for permanent highways would be the best investment the state could make. Recently Akers returned from a. trip to Califronia. He was greatly im pressed with thai .state's system of highway building and believes Kansas' FContlmied on Page Six. DOWN COMES LID? Two Yital Liquor Questions Be i fore the State. I Attorney General to Pass on Matters of Importance. Kansas liquor drinkers as well as liquor dealers are vitally affected by two big legal questions now in the hands of the attorney general's office. One concerns the public inspection of all records -.f liquor shipments, while a second issih concerns the u?e of public streets and alleys for the haul ing of liquor. i Should the two questions be decided in favor of the drys. Kansas will be come so dry and drouthy that the mere thought of a bottle of beer will 1 be as a dream of yesterday. Both i questions will be decided both by Brewster and the courts in thts next few weeks and Kansans who fear the results will probably make advance arrangements for the future.

Bulgaria Said to Hare Struck Bargain With Turks. Berlin. Sept. 13. The battle along the Dvina river, which has been virtuall in a state of dead lock for several days, lias swung in favor of the Germans. The war office announced the Rus sians had been ejected from sev eral positions on the left hank of the river. This battle prob ably will decide the fate of Riga. London, Sept-. 13.- The Austro-Ger-man armies on the eastern iront stil! striving for definite results are mak ing progress everywhere- except along tr Ualician frontier, where the .Rus sians report furtl- r success. Further north, where the Russian line has been strengthened by a with drawal of forces, Field Marshal Von Hindenburg is directing a violent drive towards Dvinsk and a crossing of the Dvina. In the center. Crown Trince Leo pold has forced his way over the Zel wianka and is attacking in the vicin ity of iSkidel. In the south field. Marshal Von Mackensen, on both sides of the Pinsk railroad, is pressing eastward toward the t'wn. These movements have resulted in the capture of reveral thousand Rus sians. The final objective of the central powers in this campaign is still a mat-t.- of conjecture, but General Ruzsky, commander of the northern Russian army, declares positively that there is no da -ger that Petrograd will fall this year before the guns of the invaders. Germans Fail in West. A German attack nort". of the Souchez station was es.sily repulsed to day's French war department states. (t'ontinuetf on Page Six.)

Brownsville, Tex., Sept. 13. One United States trooper was killed and two others were wounded, one proSj ably fatally, early today, when a gang of Mexican bandits attacked the American -patrol of sever- men at an irrigation pumping plant several miles up the river from this point. The soldier killed was Private Kraft, who received a wound through the head. Private Forney was shot through the back and is expected .o die. Private Walsh was also wounded, but his "condition is not considered serious. The firing was heard by nearby de tachments, who located it at the pumping plant on the Los Indios pro ject, but assistance which as rushed to the beleaguered men came too late to prevent the casualties. mhe squad of troopers was fired upon from the darkness by a gang estimated at forty in number. It is thought the bandits have crossed into Mexico. The Americans were from Troop C, Twelfth cavalry, and were in charge of a non-commissioned officer.

MUST STAY ON JOB Wilson Tells Virginians He Can't Go to Manassas. Situation Too Grave to Tennit His Thoughts Afield. Washington, Sept. 13. President Wilson expressed his view of the grav ity of the international situation which confronts the United States to a delegation of Virginians, who asked him today to visit the Manassas bat tlefield late this month. "We are all hoping and praying that the skies may clear," said the presi dent, "but we have no control of that on this side of the water, and it is im possible to ptee'ict any part of the corrse of affairs." The president was reminded that some time. ago he. had promised to go to Manassas to dedicate a tablet. "When I made that promise," the president' told the delegation, "things wore lust beginning and a good many things have happened since which have altered not only the aspect of our own affairs, but the aspect of affairs of th? world. My experience here day bv dav is that questions turn up so suddenly erd have- to be handled si nromptlv and sometime with so much thoughtful discretion that I reaily dare not let my thoughts go cut to other matters. "I could not go to Manassas with out having something to say. Jt would iot be worthy of the occasion if I did not nrvike preparations worth while, and that is out of the question. My thoughts are mortgaged beyond recall for the present. "I simply feel that I have forfeited my liberty for the present and that my nearest duty is the most 'obvious and imperative duty. I have been obliged to say this to all invitations, however tempting J:i character, and I would not be worthy of your trust if I did not come to such a conclu sion, because I know you want these international matters taken ca-e of the best we can, and. I ought' not to send my thoughts afield." i I KILLED URBIHA'-VILLA General Reports His Former Friend Had Become "Intolerable." Washington. Sf-pt. 13.

MORE 'ACCIDENTS' LIKE ARABIC SHOT ARE THREATENED Germany Will Take No Chances Against Bamming. Relief Lies Only In Modification of British Order. PLUNGER ISSUE STILL MENACE Bernstorffs Talk With Lansing Fails to Remove Danger. "Understanding" Has to Do Only With Past Cases. Washington,. Sept 13 An "amic able understanding" was reached at today's conference between Ambas sador Bernstorff and Secretary Lans ing It was stated this afternoon. But a point of great danger in the German-American situation, it was learned on the best authority, threat ened future friction. There was gocd reason to believe that this "understanding" concerned only the case of the Aral-ic. America, it wa3 understood, has agreed to arbi tration on the question as to whether the U boat commander in this par ticular instance was warranted in be lieving the liner was attempting to ram his submarine. M ;rc Trouble Ahead. But the danger that the Arabic in cident will be repeated with a possi ble loss of more American lives has not been averted, it was learned on the best authority. The German am bassador frankly told the state de partment that similar "mistakes" by German submarine commanders may occur in the future unless America, induces Great Britain to rescind her alleged crdtr to merchantmen to ram submarines on sight. It was understood aiso that, if the arbitral decision goes against her, Germany will admit her liability for final damages on account of the two American lives lost by the sinking of the Arabic. Future "Mistakes" still an Issue. But the question of "future mis takes'was left still at issue. This is a. very oratorical point. Germany's lat est position, as Ambassador .Mernstorff indicated to the state department to day, is that German submarine com manders are not to be blamed if they torpedo any merchantman that mak.-s what they believe a hostile move. In view of the alleged order of the Brit ish admiralty that submarines must be rammed, the U boats are In great danger, according to the German view point, and in all cases Germany will give the submarine commander th benefit of the doubt.. For this reason, it was pointed out, "mistakes like the one which caused the Arabic's destruction are apt to continue." The only alternative, ac cording to the German view, is for the British to revoke the alleged ramming order. it was suggested that. If th- United States wished to prove herself neutral, she would take this matter up with the London admiralty. POSTArWAlmfOQUIT Syracuse lights to Keep the Wire There. Members of the public utilities com mission are today taking evidence con cerning the right of the Postal Tele graph company to withdraw from Syracuse.

Some time ago the telegraph com pany withdrew from the town without notice to the commission. The su preme court held that this was a vio lation of the utilities act.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL MONDAY EVENING- SEPTEMBER 13. 1915. FIRST FREE FAIR I Continued from Page One. J main gates In a steady stream, ai 2 o'clock this afternoon officials were forced to close the doors of Agricultural liall owing to tlie jam. The hall was cleared before more people were allowed to enter. The gates of the first free fair in the world swung open today. At 9 o'clock when the gates were opened unofficial ly thousands of Topekaiis and visitors fiom all over the west surged into the grounds. The weather is ideal. At 1 1 o'clock, Arthur Capper! governor of Kansas, unlocked the gates to the grounds at the main entrance and with a, sweep of his arm threw the key fur over the heads of the crowd. Then the gates were torn from their hinges. The official opening followed a mam moth public parade of fair boosters on Kansas avenue which was led by the executive board of the fair associa tion and Governor Capper rnd Mayor House. Kncouraged by the finest weather that has ever greeted 'a-Topeka fair, officials of the association estimatr-d that 6.0C0 perse-s ere on the grounds a few minutes after 9 o'clock this morning. Shortly after 8 o'clock Samuel Lux, president of the free fait, announced that all doors were ready to open. Topcka Sets a Record. With the. opening of the gates To peka sets a record for state fairs the nation over. Every Inch of -epace in all departments is taken up by ex hibits and displays while additions have -been built to the live stock pa vilions. Every precaution Is being taken to handle the hosts. Special trains be gan pouring into Topek?. Ft en early hour this morning. They were jammed with visitors. Extra equipment is be ing added to all regular trains on roads running into the city. Forty extra conductors and motormen have been placed in service y the street railway company. Long strings of trailers are running over practically all main street car line:;. A speciil switch has been built at the fair rror.nds to handle the company's traffic. Plenty of Police Tliere. The grounds are being policed by an army of guards under Sheriff L. L. Kiene and Harvey Parsons, chief of police-. At 10 o'cloc!. the Sunflower trail opened and an hou. and a half later the week's musical program be gan on the plaza with a concert by the Knights and Ladies band. The grounds of Topeka's mammoth exhibition are equipped with every convenience for the public. An emer gency hosoital-is being maintained by the Kings of this city. Information bureaus, local and long distance tele phone booths, refreshment stands and even a postoitice all are being main tained. Two information bureaus are installed on Kansas avenue by the Commercial club. A superintendent is in charge of every department and de tail i the big fair and it is his dut. to extend every courtesy to the peo ple it is their fair. Besides the Commercial club Infor mation bureaus a number of others are scattered through the business dis trict of the city. Parade to Fair Grounds. The parade this morning was led by an auto carrying the board of di rectors of the Kansas State Fair as- Webb, L. M. Pen.ell, S. J. Hodgins, A. M. Fatten, Charles L. Mitchell, Ph:l Eastman and R. T. Kreipe. Next in lino was the Knights and Ladies of Security band in the HinRwn ana Rebkopff truck9. "A car carrying Gov ernor Capper. Mayor House tnd Sam uel Lux, president and general man ager of the fair association, followed. Next in line were the county commis sioners and the officers of the Com mercial club. Six autos carried the llodoc club. Citizens in autos strung out behind for several blocks. A number of the cars were decorated and driven by women. The Fair association awarded a. prize of two box seats to the woman driving the best decorated car. The tickets are good for the entire week to all track events and the horseshow. The procession formed at Eighth avenue and Quincy street and at 10 o'clock moved west to Kansas avenue, north on Kansas avenue to Gordon street In North Topeka and then dou bled back to Tenth street. From Tenth street the parade moved west to Topeka avenue and south to the fair ground gates. Here Governor Capper officially unlocked the gates and threw the key away. Addresses by Capper and House. Following the entrance ceremony the governor made a brief address from the bandstand. His talk was followed by an address of welcome by Mayor J. E. House and a talk by Samuel Lux. Governor Capper In his address, in which he dedicated the free state fair movement and Topeka's exhibition, said: "People of Kansas have never assembled under more favorable social and financial conditions. "".Vhile lands are being laid waste acr"' s the waters, Kansas is building bigger school houses, bigger cities and bigger insti tutions of all kinds. "The first free fair of the nation is a fitting monument to the state's pros perity. On these grounds are exhib ied the best that the west can pro duce. "It Is not strange that Kansas should be the first state to Inaugurate an Institution of this kind. Kansas is always the leader in the unusual and in progressiveness. It can be safely said that this celebration is twice as attractive as any ever held by any state. Tribute to Lux Et Al. "Hats should come off to Sam E. Lux and his associates who originated the idea of the free fair. They have worked as good citizens and not for financial compensation. They deserve the loyalty of the town and state. If we had more men like them Topeka would be a city of 100,000 Inside of three or five years." Mayor's Short Story. Following the' governor's address, the address of welcome on behalf of the city was made by Mayor House. Said the mayor. "I am like the re porter who slides up to the city ed itor's desk after he has been scooped and reports that there is no story. I SEE Before You Bsay a w nr All u Wri If You Cannot Call 822 KANSAS AVE. fACTORT BRANCH have no address. Governor Capper said exactly what I intended to say. You are here and you are welcome to Topeka." Credit to tte Papers. Samuel E. Lux, i resident and gen eral manager of the fair association, said: "The credit of Topeka having the first free fair goes to the taxpayers who voted the levy. Whether or not the fair is a success depends entirely upon the patronage the citizens of the state, county and city give it." Score of autos, some of them decor ated with flags i .id colors of the fair association, were in the line of march do-.vn Kansas avenue today. More Exliibits Than Looked For. Fair officials state that the number of exhibits in all departments is much greater than planned for. "We just found out what we had a couple of days ago," said one superintendent this morning. In addition to the extra space provided for exhibits in the cat tle and norse department, accommo dations for more than 100 head of swine were erected Sunday. W. J. Cody, in charge of this department, declares that it is the finest and larg est exhibit ever seen in Kansas. Says Mr. Cody: "We have hogs from Mis souri, Jowa, iseoraska, Jvansas una Oklahoma and sheep from Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, Ohio and Virginia. The entries represent stock from the famous herds of the country. Con tests for first awards will be hard and close. Never in the history of the state have the classes of exhibits been so high." Many Kibhon Winners. In the horse pavillions in charge of C. W. McCampbell, of Manhattan, there are ribbon winners from the east and west drafts to shetlands. The show horses of Miss Loula Long and other show horse owners are in the pavillions. Miss Long has sent four teen of her beauties to Topeka eleven harness horses and three saddlers. The cattle department is even more com plete than the horse pavillions. 1 he poultry department in charge of Thomas Owen, of Topeka, will display more than 2.000 birds. Belgian hares valued at $100 each are also being shown In the Poultry building. Two hundred birds from Iowa and S00 from Nebraska are among the ex hibits.

General rains northwest and a forecast of more gave courage to the bulls. At first, however, big receipts at the spring crop terminals. including Winnipeg, acted as more than an offset. The opening. wliK'h ranged from Vc to IVic lower with September at 9Sc to O.Se and lieceniber at i)-Jc to 04c, was followed by a sharp general advance. which in some cases went 2 cents above Saturdav nurht a level. Later the bulge was largely lost. It was said the advance hau cnecKeu export misi luss. The close was unsettled at JMC to hC net gum with September v)c uuu December at i)5c. CHUN Hluh temperatures making ideal conditions for growth cheapened corn. The weather was reported by producers to be tne bent or tne seasou. Alter opening to l.6e down, the market rallied a little with wheat. Subsequently free offers of Argentine corn at the seaboard had a bearish effeot. The close was weak at c to- Ulc net decline. -OATS Oats eased off somewhat as a re suit of the break in corn, linral offerings showed a slight increase.

O'NEILLJS FIRED Club Owners Get Tip's Scalp at Omaha Meeting. John Savage on the Sew Board of Directors. Omaha, Neb., Sept. 13. A majority of the-magnates of the Western league, at a meeting held here Sunday, de cided to ask Pre ident O'Neil, head of the league, to resign. The meeting was called by Vice President Hanlon of the JSioux City club, on refusal of President O'Neil to grant the. request of a majority of the club owners to call a meeting for the purpose of dis cussing conditions. It was also decid ed to elect a new president at once but time will be given O'l'eill to resign. Club owners said President O'Neil Ignored their request for a meeting to discuss league affairs. This they de clared iolated a book rule of the league requiring the president to call a meeting on request of a majority of the club owners. A conference wa3 held which the magnates said O'Neill refused to attend. At this conference President T. M. Chivington of the American association was considered favorably for the Western ler.gue pres idency. New Board Elected. A new board of governors was elect ed as follows: William Rourke. Omaha: H. L. Jones. Lincoln; "ohn Savage, Topeka; E. J. Hanlon, Sioux City, and J. C. Mc Gill. Denver. The following resolutions to which the above named gentlemen are signa tory were adopted: "At the resignation of Norris L. O'Neill as president. secretary and treasurer of the professional baseball clubs of the Western league, he is hereby ordered to turn over all money, -papers, records and all properties be longing to the Western league or which are now and may be hereafter i.. its i ssession to 7 "r. Hanlon, Vice president." Frank Isbell of Des Moines and Jack Holland of St. Joseph were not re elected to the board of governors be cause they refused to sign the petition calling for the meeting, several own ers reported. Club owners report a disastrous season In the Western league. At the meeting the magnates charged the failure was partly due to President O'Neill's lack of interest. Ueclares O'Neill Incompetent. In stating the causes of the depos ing of President O'Neill, Chairman Hanlon stated it was on the grounds of absolute incompetency, and actual repudiation of the rights and prerog atives of all the league members and the following of his own individual quality in direct contradiction to that of the several league members. Ex president O'Neill was notified by wire of the change and was instructed to turn over to Chairman Hanlon all money, papers, records and property of the Western league. Secretary Farrell of the National Association of Professional Bateball Clubs was officially notified by wire of O'Neill's dismissal. After O'Neill had been disposed of at the instance of Magnate McGill of Denver, a telegram was sent to Chiv ington asking him to accept the va cancy. Chivington Won't Accept. Chicago. 111.. Sept. 13. President Thomas M: Chivington of the Amer ican association said in reference to a report from Omaha that he was to be offered the presidency of the West ern league: "It is new? to me. 1 am satisfied where I am and I am not looking for any job. I am satisfied in my present surroundings." O'Neill Not Worried. Chicago. III., Sept. 13. The an nouncement of the purpose of the Western le.aguu clubs as conveyed bv a telegram from Omaha, was read to President O'Neill Sunday night. 'Mr. O'Neill laughed and then said: "It is immaterial to me what the Western league club owners do or in tend to do. This is my answer and that is all. I should worry!" This was repeated when questions were asked O'Neill. who seemed amused rather than annoyed by the situation as outlined in the dispatch. Iron Pumps at Forbes. Adv. i. STANDING OF THE CLtTBS.

PTABODY W CO-tnctfefrrf RACES STILL TIGHT Bigr League Pennants Are Yet to Be Won. Lead of Leaders Can Easily lie OTercome. New Tork, Sept. 13. With the last inter-sectional series of the season in the early stages, the outcome of the races In both major leagues remains in doubt. The chances appear to fa vor Philadelphia in the National and Boston In the- American league, the present leaders in their respective races, but everything depends on the showing each makes in the struggle with the teams of the western divi sions now in progress. In the National league the Phillies made the best showing of the past week and retained their lead by a good margin. After a serious setback in Brooklyn, where Manager Robin son's pennant aspirants won three straight games, Pat Moran's men came back with a clean sweep over the New Yorks in a four-game series on the Philadelphia grounds, and began their western trip in good style with a Sat urday triumph over the Pittsburga, their fifth straight victory. Many baseball observers favor the Quaker's chances because of the steadiness they have displayed. Boston, in the American league, lost ground last week, but Detroit, by fail ing to make the most of its chances, failed to gain much. Meanwhile, Chi cago has been booming along with a string of victories and again threaten ening to become a contender, but has much ground to make up. A 70-point lead at this stage of the race is al most impossible to overcome. The Red Sox got their worst setback by dropping three games in a row to the erratic New Yorkers early in the week, but resumed their winning streak against the Philadelphians and set the White Sox back by winning the first games of the series with the western clubs Saturday, the struggle lasting eleven innings. The Boston pitching staff has been showing con siderable class ir. .-ecent games and has held opposing teams to low scores. FEDERAL LEAGUE. At Kansas City Score R. H. E.

New York, Sept. 13. Before the largest crowd that ever witnessed a boxing match in this country, Mike Gibbons of St. Paul, outpointed Pack ey McFarland of Chicago, in a ten round, no-decision contest at Brighton Beach Saturday night. The bout, which brought together two of the cleverest boxers in the ring today, waa hard fought from start to finish, but Gibbons scored the more frequent and more effective blows. McFarland showed that his long absence from the ring had dulled his speed and power to snap punches to vulnerable points of his opponent's head and body. McFarland showed flashes of his old rapid fire left, but the leads were little more than snaps and did not check Gibbons and his more effective assaults. A throng, which was estimated at 45,000, witnessed the contest, almost entirely filling the Immense arena, which originally enclosed a third of a mile motorcycle track. More than two hours before the principals enter ed the ring, lines of spectators extend ed for blocks away from the entrance and roads leading to the arena were blocked with double lines of motor cars. From the ringside nothing could be seen but a sea of faces which grew dimmer until they faded into innum erable rows of white blotches to the very edge of the enclosure. Several thousand women -'were scattered among the spectators, which included large delegations of boxing enthu siasts from as far west as Chicago and Cleveland and below Washington in the south. GEMS C. I. CHAMPIONS. One Bad Inning Cost Kagle Team the Season's Honors. By defeating the Eagles Sunday af ternoon at Western League park the Gem grocery team won the City league championship. The game was a spe cial post-season battle to break a tie between the two teams and the final scoret was 5 to 3. The Gem team made all of its scores in the fifth inning. Stephen son, the Eagle pitcher, lost control and walked three men, and this added to three hits and a error gave the Gem players victory. According to the announcement of President Snyder, the league hardly made expenses this season, but, con sidering conditions, all are well pleased with the outcome, and that the league will be in operation again next summer seems certain. The final positions of the four teams in the league Is: Gem grocery, first; Eagles, second; Palace, third, and Col lege Hill, fourth. The score of Sun day's Game: R. H. E.

The refusal of President O'Neill to rail or attend the Western league meeting showed conrlnsively how his prexyship looks at matters. O'Voill hK hopn TnhriHncr unilpr rlto impression that the league was working for him. However, the club owners have been deluding themselves into believing Tip was working for them. j And,, just to shew Mr. O'Neill that he j was mistaken, the club owners proceeded to tie a nice little can to his coat tail in i a manner that probably was n great sur prise to his Tipperaryship. It is to be hoped Chivington or some other inau of his caliber will be given the leader ship of the league. O'Neill was a good baseball man. but the trouble with him was his interest was not concentrated on the .lob for which he drew a munificent salary. And he couldn't look at all towns with the same degree of affection. A game between the Savages and the S?anta Fe G. O.s would probably be as good as the average exhibition contest. It probably woald draw better than a game with an outside club. Howard Mann of the CI tics go Tost ob serves that jitney movies and $2 baseball have been replaced by jitney baseball and $J movies.

Now for a fair fair week and Topeka will soon have even more for which to be thankful. The Lapland on which traveled the Anglo-French financial commission ers who have arrived in this country to negotiate a large loan, was con veyed, and safely, through. the German submarine "war zone" around the British Isles by two of the destroyers of the British navy. "Why not the same precaution with all the passen ger ships feaving and arriving at Brit ish ports Another Missouri county has voted "dry." But. of course, it wasn't Jackson- county wherein is located the Kansas City that waxes so fat on its liquor traffic, and particularly on that large part of it which so increases the burdens of Kansas in the enforcement of its prohibitory law. Having boasted that during his late legislative term he never bought a drink for anybody, a New Jersey can didate for re-election now finds him self facing a "tight-wad" issue raised by a liberal opponent, notes the New York World, and it adds: In practical politics, it is frequently well, before professing a virtue, to regard it from at least two points of view. Carranza having rejected The Pan American plan for the pacification of Mexico, with an announcement to the effect that he considers himself to be the whole thing in Mexico and will proceed forthwith to demonstrate that he is, it is now incumbent on the Pan Americaners to make thr next move. And it goes without saying that they will take their time bout it, and the probabilities are that it won't amount to much even when it is made. From the lawyers' viewpoint, there seems to be something of a hot potatj about the fees that Mr. Dawson ob tained from the receivers if thegas company. At any rate, the Shawnee county bar association appears to have been abqut as quick to drop an inves tigation concerning them as it was to propose one; or, rather the local lawyers' organization has passed the matter on to the state bar association. "Printer's ink," r ccording to E. A. Moore, assistant secretary or the Char ities Aid Society of New York, is sav ing more lives than any other single agency employed by modernl health workers." And, as the New York World adds: Publicity is a sovereign remedy for ills political and social as well as sanitary. rror known is de feated. A few explanations from Count von Bernstorff as to how he happened to write that note to the effect that Ger many acknowledged the righteousness of our contentions as to the proper conduct of submarine warfare would seem to be in order. It is beginning to look as if he spoke only for him self. But this would appear to be a bad time fcr diplomatic dealing from the bottom of the deck. Isadora Duncan doesn't like the clothes our women wear, notes the De troit Free Press, and it pertinently queries: Isadora, may we ask, what is your opinion of the clothes they leave oft? Evidently France is not" of the opinion that the war will end in the near future. She is making plans to recruit a new army in her colonies and protectorates. And this might also be construed as a confession that the full military strength of France, proper,- is already under arms, and that she has no home reserve supply of men to call upon. GEBMANT SOLVENT TILL 1920. No modern state would find diffi culty in levying taxes that take for public purposes fifteen per cent of the private income of its citizens, argues The New. Republic, and It goes on: No state In the world's history has succeeded in taking so much as thirty per cent, and it is very doubtful that even German efficiency could extract a proportion approaching this limit. Apart, from the productive revenues of the imperial government and the states against which we have already set appropriate share" of the public debt two billion and a half may be regarded as the maximum amount that can be raised by empire and states in time of peace. The inevitable current expenditures, civil and military, will absorb a billion and more. "With all due allowance for underestimation o such requirements ana for overestima tion of total revenues, we may safely claim a possible billion of revenues for the service of the debt. On a six per cent basis, a billion of revenue would provide for a debt principal of sixteen and -two-thirds billions. Germany can by this reckoning carry on the war until the autumn of 1920 without be coming actually insolvent. THE FREE FAIR IS ON. After the keys to the gates were formally thrown away this morning and the gates themselves were men torn from their hinges, 'lopeka launched a fair that is unique in the history of agricultural expositions in this country. It would appear to ap proach- the ideal in the fair line, as an agricultural show is. in fact, an edu cational institution, and free education is the keystone in the arch of the firm foundation on which this nation nas been builded. From the agricultural exhibition standpoint the fair is a gi gantic success, the exhibits in all lines comDrisine the greatest array of sucn things that have ever been assembled on a Kansas fair grounds. It remains to be seen whether the people of lo neka. Shawnee county and the rest of Kansas, will show by their attendance the appreciation on their part that is due such an undertaking; and also take advantage of their opportunities to familiarize themselves with the best that there is in the agricultural arena and the methods?- by which, it can be attained. There seems to have been plenty of tangible testimony during the last few days that Old Lady Summer didn't lose any of her strength by being de layed in transmission. WHEN TO PLANT WHEAT. TCansaa farmers will do well to paste their hats for guidance the Hessian fly free date for the planting of-winter wheat. According to Mr. Momer sec retary of the state department of agri culture it ranges in the eastern third of the state from October 1 in the northern tier of counties to October 14 in the southern tier and in all the rest of the state from September 28 in the northern counties to October 11 in the southern ones. The time to swat the Hessian fly effectively is be fore he gets on the job. Our memory goes back to the time, ruminates the Houston Post, strange as it may seem the light of the present situation, when one of our main reasons for being glad we weren't a girl was because girls had to wear so many clothes. ONLY A WINNER WANTED. Nobody has much use for a loser. Grand Duke Nicholas was hailed as the greatest and most popular man in Kussia when the Russian armies were staging their dazzling successes in the Carpathians. But the turn in the tide of Russia's fortunes has resulted in hie being deposed from the com mand of the Russian forces and sent to a rather obscure post where he will probably put in most of his time thinking that autocracies as well as republics, are ungrateful. And the probabilities are that Grand Duke Nicholas would have made a much better showing with his armies when the Teutonic allies began their famous drive had the home folk provided his soldiers with sufficient munitions of war to put up a good fight. New York City's pride in her popu lation of 5,066,222 is probably damp ened a bit by thoughts of the divers and complex problems that such an enormous citizenry compels her to solve. WHERE IGNORANCE IS BLISS. Dr. Crumbine's swatfest against the high cost of living is a worthy under taking, but it is going to be a difficult Job to educate most folk to the facts that the cheaper cuts of meat and lower priced foods are just as nutri tious, as the more expensive foods and sometimes more so. Too many people struggle along under an obses sion that the more a food product costs the better it tastes. Why any special efforts on the part of the Federal Reserve Board to "make the American dollar supreme in the world of finance." when it has already achieved that distinction through its own solid efforts? LOSING THE GROWNVPS. Considerable progress has been made all over this country during the last few years in decreasing the infant nintality, but the life insurance ex perts have collected statistics which show that of late years there has been an increase in the deaths of grownups from diseases of the heart, arteries and kidneys and that this is due to the failure of people to observe the rules of hygiene. Isn't there a tre mendous amount of carelessness in this old world? With the Germans scoring successes, even though they are small ones, in the western arena of the war, it would appear that the forces of the Allies in that war zone haven't been putting in their peaceful summer there in an advantageous manner. OtK RAILROADS AND DEFENSE. Although problems of military transportation should be stated by the military strategist, it may be permis sible to suggest one, in order to show the complexity and importance of their elements, writes Charles O. Hames in the North American Review for September, and he continues: Let us suppose that an enemy had invaded New England. Let us imagine an army being rushed forward from the Great Lakes to the aid of the defense. The approved plan for military pur poses might select the New York Cen tral lines with. 'all of their "tracks .for the forward movement of troops, whUe. the returning empty equipment might be routed over the Erie. Am munition and war supplies would pos sibly be forwarded over the Pennsyl vania, the West Shore, and the Dela ware and Hudson. In the meantime. however, the great cities in New York and New Jersey would have to be fed, and the Lackawanna, and Lehigh Valley would be des ignated to transport such supplies But of the expeditious move ment of empty equipment neces sitated the use of part of the Lack awanna trackage, thus breaking up the continuous operation of that sys tem, this would have to be arranged for by utilizing part of some connect ing lines, so that the inflow of sup plies for the civil population would be ensured. One such example serves to show the need for an unhurried study of these problems; by both transpor tation expert and military strategist. To facilitate such study a first requi site would be the preparation of a railroad map of the United States drawn by competent cartographers. but from the military standpoint. On this should be designated the military trunk roads, their feederB or auxil iaries, and also those lines to be set apart for commercial purposes and for civilian benefit. Beside, showing tele graph, telephone lines, and wireless stations even though the same lines are mapped separately these maps must show the physical character of the railroads, the grades, number of tracks, character of construction, character of bridges and their loca tion; the kind and character of all connecting tracks, or tracks to landing places on water lines. They must also give the location of regimental depots, army posts, instruction camps, and military headquarters. Journal Entries Many folk who hunt the limelicht haven't much to show. Poverty presses harder on those who have known riches. Fame is so fickle that those who court it assiduously seldom win it. Lots of people are ever looking for sympathy to which they're not en titled. There is always a bis: demand for the man who can deliver the goods.

Leavenworth, Kan., Sept. 13. S. R. Wells, through his attorney, W. W. Hooper, has filed suit in the district court asking a divorce from his wife, Gertrude Wells. Gross neglect of duty and extreme cruelty are set forth as the cause of action. The couple were married on No vember 16, 1910, the petition states. The plaintiff avers that he has con ducted himself as a dutiful and loving husband while his wife has disregard ed her matrimonial vows. He alleges that she went to Wichita and sent him word that she did not want to live with him. She is employed in the revenue office. They have no prop erty, according to Wells. S. R. Wells was formerly manager of the Novelty theater in Topeka. His wife was Miss Gertrude Mellinger, bet ter known as "Peggy." She was em ployed at the Majestic theater for a while and later worked for W. H Pepperill at the Democratic state headquarters. When Pepperill be came internal revenue collector with offices at Leavenworth Miss Mellinger was given a position there. Miss Mellinger was Wells's second wife. His first wife was a Leaven worth girl. She secured a divorce in Topeka several years ago and after wards married the late Paul Mulvane. Both Wells and hid wife were well known in Topeka. THE TUG OF WAR When Greek Meets Greek on Lower Kansas Avenue. The second chapter of the trouble between Dan Adams, proprietor of. a shoe shining parlor at 408 Kansas avenue, and Make Koeploinie and John Coren was written this morning at the office of County Attorney W. E. Atchison, where a warrant was issued charging Koeploinie and Coren with malicious destruction of property. Adams claims that 1206 worth of his property was destroyed by Koeploinie and Coren, who entered the shine par lor Saturday night and proceed to clean house with an ax. The trouble among the three Greeks grew out of a peculiar partnership agreement. When the men started the shine parlor several weeks ago Adams agreed to out up a.l the money but $30 and. after the expenses of run ning the place were paid the profits would be split three ways. Everything went smoothly until there was not enough money in the treasury to pay the rent. Then the place was closed up..:.. Koeploinie. and Corerr went-; to Kansas City to raise some money and Adams stayed in Topeka. Adams got some money and reopened the shining parlor Saturday. When Koeploinie and Coren: came back to town they found the -place runniny and- wanted to get baclc Into the business but Adams said that be was through with them. 1 Last Saturday afternoon the two de posed Greeks went to see the county attorney -about their troubles. Th y were told that they could bring an ac tion in court to get the money they were tntitled to. This did not satisfy the two so they took the law and an ax in their own hands and proceeded to the parlor, where thsy smashed up sl marble shoe shining stand, six chairs, and several brass footrests. This morning Adams charged thent with malicious destruction of property. AN OFFENSE OR TWO? Can Man Convicted of Assault Tried For Murder Later? Be When a man pleads guilty to assault with intent to kill and serves a sen tence, can he then be tried for the murder of his victim? That is the question checked up to the attorney general's office today by Mrs. Ollie Brown of Delphos, Ottawa county. In July Mrs. -Brown's son engaged in an altercation with. man concern ing some financial matters-' Mrs. Brown now informs the attorney general that her son was shot and that his assailant pleaded guilty to assault with intent to' kill. He is now serving a 90-day sentence in. the county jail. A few days ago the vic tim of the shooting died. Mrs. Brown wants the assailant prosecuted for murder, but asserts that the county attorney does not show a desira to act. Whether a prosecution for murder, following the serving of a sentence for assault with intent to kill, .would constitute two penalties for one offense, is a matter to be determined by tfc.e state's legal department. WHITE WAY MEN HERE State House Grounds Will Be Lighted This FaU.

ARTS AND CRAFTS WORKS Hand Made Jewelry and Pot tery on View. Topeka Artists Are Well Repre sented in All Lines. BV CARL- P. BOLMAK.) The art exhibit at the Topeka State fair this year is larger and better than at any other fair for some time. It occupies the entire south' and a part of the west sides of the Fine Arts building, and includes besides pictures, and a large collection of hand painted china, a small but exceedingly beauti ful exhibit of arts and crafts work by Miss Pauline 1 Haines, Mr. Hampton Shirer, and Mrs. E. H. Chamberlain, all of Topeka. Miss Haines, who recently went to New York to accept a position a teacher in the Parsons School of In3 dustrial Art, exhibits a lamp, a bu-l reau scarf of homespun linen, ancl some hand made jewelry and pottery Mr. Shirer has several pieces of jew-' elry, and Mrs. Chamberlain has a handsome chair, a carved box, and 1 some small pieces of house furniture This little collection, located at the' extreme west end of the main exhibit., is alone worth a trip to the fair grounds to see. In Oil and Water. In the fine arts exhibit are oil and water color paintings, pastels and charcoal drawings, the work of artists from all parts of Kansas but chiefly from Topeka. George M. Stone exhibits his justly admired oil, "The Camino Real," wi'h which most Topeka people are famil iar. It is now the property of Dr. J. C. McClintock. This picture is not com peting for a premium. Prof. Berger Sandsen" of Bethany college, Lindsborg, Kan., exhibits a set of five landscapes in oil, for which he has been awarded first prize. They are scenes in the desert country of western America, and besides being highly decorative in themselves, por tray the vivid coloring and brilliant sunlight effects of that part of the world in the most truthful manner. Mr. Sandseti's work received first pre mium last ye8r also. There was a black and white -reproduction of one of his paintings "Solitude" in the August number of The Fine Arts journal or wew lorK. j David Ovoi-m.ver's Picture: A 4 'Mr. David Overmyer of Topeka ex hibits one small oil,- but it is one of the best pictures in the exhibit. In the middle background is a pic turesque tower, forward from which leads a winding path with a female figure advancing along it. Above all is the blue sky with a beautiful cloud effect. Mr. Overm. cr always endeav ors to work the facts and colors of nature into a decorative scheme, ami in this little work as well as in many others he has been very successful. He received a first premium. Miss Marian Peers of Topeka ex hibits five oils and five pastels. Two or three of the latter have consider able merit and promise well for the future. The Rev Carl W. Nau of Emporia contributes six -.vater colors. Five of them are landscapes and the other is an interior view. They are one of the features of the exhibition and deservi much attention. The work :s all from nature. Mr. Nau has studied art in England, and worked as a decorator and illustrator both in Lo.-don and New York before entering the min istry. The close attention to minute de tail necessary to the class of art in which he- was engaged for a tima showed to disadvantage in his work in a broader field of art, but these pic-' tures would indicate that he had largely overcome the di.ticulty. A collection of oils by Mrs. Alia Jones Payne of Hutchinson, Kan., are attracting favorable attention; several have received premiums. Mrs. Payne has had but one year's instruction. Several of her pictures, especially th landscapes, show latent ability. Charcoal Studies. There is a collection of good chax coal studies by Miss Elizabeth StonC ICLellan, and another, and also some oils, by Mrs. Katherine Lindsey Per kins, both of Topeka. The pupils of the high school at Sawyer, Kan., sent a collection of pen drawings that shows what can be done by the en thusiastic boys and girls in a small town. Mrs. Harry Warden, formerly Miss Mitchell of Topeka, exhibits a most interesting portrait "study, and there is a collection of water color drawings from the Normal school at Pittsburg, Kan. By far the most pretentious and in teresting of the out of town exhibits is that of the State University at Law rence. This collection occupies the entire eastern half of the south wall of the building, and comprises besides many fine pictures by the pupils of Prof. W. A.

City Railway Is Investigating Through Expert Engineers. 3Iay Close It to Traffic for This Week. Street car traffic over the Si-rth street viaduct may be discontinued during fair week, owing to the weak condition of the structure Over long distance telephone Saturday night A. M. Fatten of the Tepeka Street Rail- i way company engaged A. A. Trocan, j an expert bridge engineer of Kansas i City. Mo., to come to Topeka and make an immediate investigation. He was to arrive on an early train this morning, and a statement from him as to whether or not it is advisable to cease the operation of street cars over the bis bridge is expected today. "There are no recent developments in the condition of the viaduct to in dicate that it is any more dangerous than it has been for several months," said Mr. Patten, "but in view of the heavy traffic expected this week, we do not care to take unnecessary risks. We are using only the smallest cars we have over the viaduct, but they will be heavily loaded with a live weight." The Sixth street viaduct has been considered dangerous for months. The city commission nearly a year ago engaged an expert to make a report. His report was that the structure was decidtdly unsafe and -should be torn down. Two year3 ago one span gave way under the weight of .a street car. No one was injured. Basing their action on the report of the expert engineer, the city com mission notified the Santa Fe, Missouri Pacific and Topeka Street Railway company to built a new viaduct. Nine months in which to comply with the demand was allotted the companies by the city. The nine months will be up October 1. George P. Hayden, city attorney, said today that he was preparedt go into court with the matter on that date. I can not understand why the I companies have delayed, for in my i opinion there is no queftion about the city's having the authority to support its demand and in the meantime the companies are taking a risk. The seriousness of the condition of the viaduct is indicated by the fact that the Topeka Street Railway com pany, on its own volition and not through any initiative of the city com missioners, is making the present in vestigation.

The incorporation of the Baird Pneumatic Tool company has been completed under the Kansas law with a capital stock of $100,000. Archie M. Baird of Topeka, W. R. Carrie, C. D. Wellman, F. E. Fessenden and Ed win X. McKeever are the incorpor ators. The home office of the company is in the New England building. The company plans to have the manufacture of the tools done by con tract until such time as the demand for them creates a necessity for a pri vate factory of its own. At present, the tools are being made in Topeka. Atchison and Kansas City. Archie M. Baird, president of the company, is well known throughout the country as an inventor of practi cal tools. He has been with the Santa Fe for twenty-five years and for some time has been assistant superintendent of the shops here. The success of tho new company is practically assured, having the name of Mr. Baird at its head and holding control of such a large list of tools. Among the patents assigned to the company by Mr. Baird are: Flu-s cleaning rattler' and unloader,"" stay bolt cutter, vacuum oil burner and forge, pneumatic trip, stay bolt chuck, feeding attachment to pneumatic mo tors, Tportable heating torch and blow pipe, arch flue and pipe bending ma chine, and a balance valve. In addif tion to this Ust of recent patents there are numerous tools that were manu factured several years ago by Mr. Baird. A complete catalogue is now in the hands of the printers and will be out in a short time. Severe 1 of the leading agencies of this class of ma chinery will have charge of the sales in the United States and in Canada. Besides these there will be several spe cial representatives in the field to sell direct and to help the agencies in clos ing sales. Some of Mr. Baird's inventions are in use already by several of the lead ing railroads of the counfy. The GALENAjCITIZEN Out With Truth States He Re coyered Rapidly. Says He Feels Fine and Well Man Now. Is a LANDS WORK OF TANLAC He Praises Remedy for Bene fitting Him. Advises Friends to Use It and Get Relief. John Main, who resides in Galena, Kan., made the following interesting statement: "I had stomach trouble for two years and it gave me no end of worry. I naturally had a poor appetite and actually dreaded eating. Usually, after meals, I would have a pain in the pit of my stomach and a general hurting caused by the formation of gas. I belched frequently and could taste my food hours after eating. I even felt pains under my shoulder blades and felt all tired and worn out. "I read and heard of Tanlac and what it was doing. I tried the medi cine with wonderful results. Out of two bottles I got relief and now feel like a new man. I believe that It has relieved me permanently of the pains and the stomach trouble that caused me so much worry." This is only one of the many state ments made by Kansans who say they have found genuine benefits in in stances of stomach, liver and kidney troubles and catarrh after taking Tan lac. the premier preparation. A tired, dragging feeling of the body, a sluggish mind and dull mem ory, depression of spirits, nervousness, stomach trouble, weak back, head aches and constipation are among the numerous symptoms of a condition from which Mr. Main and a surpris ingly large number of people, in all cities like Topeka suffer. Thousands are now using Tanlac to overcome that very trouble, and in each instance, the results have been unusual. Tanlac, the magic medicine, is now distributed in this city through Tully McFarland Drug Co., successors to Matt Weightman, Ninth and Kansas avenues, where W. C. Pope is person ally meeting the public daily and ex plaining Tanlac. Adv. Santa Fe, the Frisco and the Missouri Pacific are the principal users of his tools. EX-BANKERS ON RACK Trial of Former Officers of Defunct Kansas City Concern, Is Started. Kansas City, Sept. 13. Four for mer officers of the defunct Ameri can Union Trust company were placed on trial in the federal court here today on a charge of using the mails to defraud. The trial is the first of a series of prosecutions growing out of the failure of the All Night and Day bank and the closing of the American Union Trust company, which had absorbed the bank- Tho men on trial are George L. Davis, a Kansas City attorney; John Beery and W. L,. Moyer of Kansas City, and T. L. Matkins of Chicago. Henry W. Richardson, the organ izer of the institution, also was in cluded in the indictment, but has not been arrested. The indictment charges that fraud ulent statements of the assets of the American Union Trust company were made and sent through the mails. The government will question about fifty witnesses. The defense has called forty. A second indictment charging the five men mentioned in the first to gether with others connected with the trust company, with a general conspiracy, also is pending. COST OF CITY COAL Many Bids But Contract Been Awarded. Has Not No action was taken by the city commission today on the matter of awarding a contract for supplying the city with coal for the coming year. The bids were received Thursday. The Topeka Coal company's figures ware lowest, but there was a provision in the bid that In case freight rates were increased, the increase could be added to the price of coal. This pro vision was unsatisfactory and for this reason, although the contract has not been awarded, the check of the To peka Coal company, which accom panied the bid, was today returned. imp to We invite your attention to our new facilities for handling" the guests of Topeka's Great Free Fair.

WAR PARTY FAVORS BERLIN Financial Interests Declared in Favor of Strife. Militarists Busy Working Up Sentiment Against Russ. London, Sept. 13. What will Swed en do? This is the question being asked with increasing frequency here. No one knows why Sweden should do anything. But that she will do something shortly favoring one side or the other in the great war seems to be an established opinion in the allied countries. Soon to Join Kaiser. It is undeniable that 1,-iblic opinion, based on more or less reliable Infor mation, is that Sweden will shortly throw in her lot with Germany. In vestigation in diplomatic circles de velops these facts: Germany is doing her btst to brins S- 'eden into the war. There is a certain party in Sweden that favors Germans and is willing to have the Swedish army help the Ger mans. This party includes the finan cial interests, but is in the minority numerically. Progressives Against War. The progressive party, which out voted the reactionary party two to one -in the last election, is anti-German and anti-war. The war party in Sweden is trying to create popular sentiment against Russia, reminding the Swedes that Russia took Finland from Sweden. The militarists of Sweden are of the German school; the Swedish army is trained on German lines; the sym pathies of many Swedish militarists are with Germany. The chief outstanding fact Is that Swedish democracy is being severely tested on the war question. If this democracy succeeds, Sweden will not enter the war.

Independence, Kan., Sept. 13. Ly man JJ. Humphrey, twice governor of Kansas, is dead a"; his home here. He was a Civil war veteran. He died yes terday after a long illness. Mr. Humphrey was" the eleventh governor of Kansas, serving two terms, from' 1889 to 1893. He was elected a representative In the legisla ture in 1876, state senator In 3 881 and lieutenant governor in 1878. In 1892 he was a Republican candidate for' congress. In Twenty-Seven Battles. .-Mr. Humphrey was born July 25, 1844. in New Baltimore, Stark county, Ohio. When the Civil war started he enlisted as a private In the Seventy Sixth Ohio volunteers. serving throughout the war, participating in twenty-seven battles with the Army of the West, and gaining a commission as first lieutenant. On retiring from the army. Mr. Humphrey continued his education at Mount Union college and took a law course at the University of Michigan. In 1866 he went to Selby county, Mis souri, where he taught school and, in partnership with Thomas and Charles Yoe and -Col. A. M. York, published the Selby County Herald. In 1870 he was admitted to the bar. Quits Journalism for Law. The next year he moved to Inde pendence, Kan., and with the Yoe Brothers and Colonel York established the South. Kansas Tribune, but the year afterward sold his interest and entered into the practice- of law with Colonel York. His first political of fice came in 1876, when he was elect ed to the legislature. Mr. Humphrey in 1888 was elected governor by the largest plurality ever given a candidate, carrying every county except two. He was rc-clected in 1890. During the four years he was governor he never traveled a mile at the expense of the state and each year turned back into the state treasury the bulk of his contingent fund. Not Enriched by Office. He closed his fourteen years of pub lic service in Kansas poorer in purse than when he began. After his retire ment frcm the governor's offce he re turned to Independence, engaging in the farm loan and insurance business. Mr. Humphrey married Miss Aman da Leonard, December 25, 187 2. Four children were born to the union, two of whom died In infancy, tut the oth er two, Lyman L., associated with his father in the loan business, and A.

The Akers plan would call for the building of concrete highways. probably at a cost of J8.000 to 10, 000 a mile.

He also declares that i .-mt -i 1 1 1 mpn n a. re turn to the state- in taxable property or ISO million aoiiars in uvo "I believe the state could profitably issue 2 5 million dollars in bonds for permanent highway building, said Akers.

It would mean a return of 150 million dollars to Kansas in five years. "In five to ten years the state's population would double. Good roads would do more for Kansas than any improvement the state might make." Expenditure of the state automobile license fund has been a matter of un certainty in many counties in the state. Somehow it has been impossible, in many counties at least, to learn just how the money was used. Nearly 1300,000 was last year distributed among the counties for road purposes as a result of the state motor license la,w. But a report as to the use of this fund has never been available, so be far as a majority of the counties are concerned. diture of the motor license fund under direction of the state.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE J OURNAIr MONDAY EVENING SEPTEMBER 13, 1915. WORK BOTH WAYS Fred Robertson, U. S. District Attorney for Kansas, Gets Men Out of Prison as Well as In. INJUSTICE SOMETIMES DONE Where There Is Doubt He Makes an Investigation. ready gone to the United States cir cuit court of appeals. Three cases have gone to the supreme court of tho United States. "It is not the intention of the gov ernment to punish men unjustly," said Robertson. "The idea that the government is cold or merciless, is wrong. The federal departments are anxious to see that justice Is done and when a case shows reasonable cause for doubt as to the guilt of the prison er, it is our intention to investigate. The number of cases where wrong has been done Is not large. But the few have warranted the effort that has been made to restore Justice." ANOTHER HYDE DELAY More Than 25 Federal Prisoners Have Been Freed. Through a plan inaugurated by ""red Robertson, United States district at torney, when he first entered the fed eral service, more than 25 men serving time at the federal prison under a mis carriage of justice, have been given their freedom. The practice being fol lowed by the Kansas district attorney's office has met the approval of the de partment of justice in Washington and has the co-operation of Judge John C. Pollock of the lansas district. Shortly after Robertson was ap pointed United States attorney for the district of Kansas, he became con vinced that in a number of cases, men were unjustly committed to the fed eral prison through an error in the evidence or the inability of the pris oner to ret. .in counsel. While the fed eral law rrovides a prisoner with an attorney where he is personally unable to pay a lawyer, the federal law does not provide for a trial through the higher courts or a -eview of the case. An investigation of a number of cases at the Leavenworth federal pris on resulted in a practical rehearing of the cases. In some of the cases the evidence showed that th re was suffi cient reason for a conviction and the government refused to srant clem ency. In several doubtful cases, how ever, the department of jurtice ap proved an .nvestigati n of the records and prisoners were released who had been wrongfully committed. "In one case," said Robertson, "a an was serving in the federal prison whose sentence, under the maximum provision of the law would have been but ten months in the county jail." Some months ago Robertson talked with Judge Pollock about the matter. He also discussed the situation with S. M. Brewster, attorney general for Kansas, and a number of federal ap pointees. When WcReynolds was fed eral attorney general, he approved the Robertson plan and since that time federal departments have been work ing in harmony to determine whether prisoners are wrongfully committed to the Leavenworth prison. Men and women from every sec tion of the United States are sent to Leavenworth prison. Cases from al most every federal court in the coun try, are therefore subject to review. The program being followed by At torney Robertson and Judge Pollock provides for the appointment of an able lawyer for a prisoner in case there is reasonable doubt of a mis carriage of justice. The case, if evi dence warrants, is then taken to the hlgrher courts. A number -of these cases have al- Doctor's Attorneys Ask Dismissal or Murder Charge." Kansas City, Sept. 13. When the fourth trial of Dr. B. Clark Hyde, charged with the murder of Col. Thomas H. Swope, millionaire phil anthropist, was called in the crim inal court today- Floyd Jacobs, prose cuting attorney, was granted until Wednesday to file a formal applica tion for continuance of the case. The Hvde attorneys appealed to Judge E. E. Pt-rterfield, who. pre sided, to dismiss the charge, assort ing Dr. Hyde had been ready for trial for mor-j than a year. The judge said he would put the entire matter over until Wednesday. Dr. Hyde and his wife were in the court room. ONLY 34 JITNEYS LEFT Others Go Out of Business or Become Taxi cabs. Only thirty-four of the 100 jitneys which have been operating in Topeka are to continue in business as jitneys. The others presumably will operate as taxicabs or motor busses. Saturday was the last day in which jitney oper ators, who had licenses under the old ordinance, could have the unused portion of their licenses applied in payment on a new license to operate a Jitney. Those not taking out new licenses will be permitted to operate only as taxicabs. Taxicab licenses cost $10 per year. Jitney licenses are $25. $35 and $50, according to the size of the cars. Those who have secured licenses to operate Jitneys are: A. N. Boulding, $25; S. W. McGrew, $50; C- B. Mc Grew, $50; E. A. Beard, $25; C. C. Jones, $25; S. Bullkamp, $25; J. C. Hummer, $25; T. G.

Jenkins buy their pianos in large quantities and pay spot cash at factory for them. It is this great purchasing power, and the fact they DO NOT pay commissions to anyone that enables them to guarantee their prices to you against any net cash price on same instrument in the United States. At Jenkins you have their forty years' past experience in a strictly musical concern to help you select your piano. Jenkins have learned a lot in a lifetime about pianos. They have learned which are the best pianos, how best to buy them, and how best to sell them so that you can buy for less money here than elsewhere. It's just hard work and honest effort to do the best we can for you. Most piano houses are either direct branches of a factory or have a working or capital borrowing deal by which they are practically under control of the factory which "stakes them." The retailer who is tied to a factory has to use the factory's product, wijly nilly, and that's an awful handcap,,.: ...V..S. v The independent, financially strong-retailer who has ample cash resources is. master of the situation. Our Mr. J. W. Jenkins, head of the house, has for thirty years bought every piano we have sold. He knows each manufacturer's weakness. We are free lances. We have the most cash capital to work with, and manufacturers know this. We do not and will not accept factory run. Every piano is inspected wheh it comes on our floor and if not up to standard, it is returned to factory. In the long run, nothing pays so well as good faith toward the public. This is the theory and essence of the Jenkins plan. Good faith toward the public is the cornerstone of our piano business. We have come to Topeka to stay and our whole ambition is to join hands with the busi ness interests and all in making Topeka a greater business center each year. We certainly do appreciate the patronage the good people of Topeka and the surrounding territory have given us. Their liberal purchases go to show how firmly they believe in the fair and honest methods of the Jenkins Plan. GO TO OTHER PIANO STORES, took at their pianos and prices THEN COME TO OUR PIANO STORE and you'll find Pianos we sell for $125 cost at least $175 elsewhere. Pianos sell for $180 cost at least $250 elsewhere. Pianos we sell for $210 cost at least $300 elsewhere. Verily the Jenkins Plan Is a Money Saver to You.

H. .Tuddy Kilpatrlck, who will drive the 200 horse power Ajax in the auto mobile races, which are scheduled for the final two days of the Topeka state fair, September 17 and 18, has many claims to distinction. Kilpatrick is the smallest professional automobile race driver In the world, and he also holds the world's record for a mile over a roadway course. Kilpatrick ne g tiated a mile in :32.44 over the Long Island Motor parkway three years ago while at the wheel of the Hotchkiss. Kilpatrick, though he is well known in this countr" secured his first ex perience as a speed merchant on the courses of Europe. His nerve and dar ing there were witnessed by Elliott F. Shepherd, a brother-in-law of Wil liam K. Vanderbilt of New York, who brought him to the United States o ho.nule special cars in the Vanderbilt cup and other big races. Kilpatrick from a mechanical stand point is one of the most able drivers in the world, and understands every inch of a racing car. Ha helped to build and design one of the successful racing' cars on the Indianapolis track in 1913 and then retired and went into business. The lure of the speed game proved too strong, however, and this year when offered berth by Benjamin Briscoe at the wheel of the Ajax he put aside business care nd again dons his racing togs. Kilpatrick was a big victor in the important meets in the east previous to 1911 and in that year he became a twmmate of "Wild Bob" Burman and the pair toured this country, breaking records right and left. In 1912 Kil patrick's good judgment enabled the Case team to finish in the money at the 50-0 mile race at Indianapolis.

AUTO ROADS ARE FINE Nothing to Keep Motorists From Coming to the Pair. There is no reason why hundreds of motorists from all parts of eastern Kansas should not come to the big free state fair this week. The roads never were in better shape, consider-, ing the week-end rains J. M. Leeper, who drove three cars from Kansas City to Topeka Satur day, following the big rain of Friday night, said that the highways were smooth and in excellent condition. Today roads radiating iri all direc tions from Topeka'1 are just right. Automobiles and "'"motorcycles can travel for many rriites without evert seeing the trace- of 'a mutlhole. There are a few exceptions, a very few, and these are all oh side roads and only a few joy riding parties have been caught there. Gennan-Amerieiins Held Loyal. St. Joseph. Mo., Sept. 13.

BRINGING UP FATHER ;00DrHE? VHAT1-bTVIE J MATTER? IN NORTH TOPEKA Aorth Side Business Firms Close Tuesday Afternoon. J. L. Hollister, of Silver Lake, Likes the Pacific Coast. The majority of the business firms on the North side will close their doors tomorrow afternoon to allow the employees to attend the "Big Free State Fair." It is understood the postoffiee will make but one delivery of mail in the morning and close at 10 o'clock. Most t of the grocery stores will close at 12. From 1 until 6 the drug stores will close. The Shawnee State band and the Citizens' State bank will close Tues day afternoon and also Thursday af ternoon on account of the fair. It is probable another afternoon later In the week will also be observed by the North Topeka business firms. A continual string- of .persons living inthe country passed through Xorth Topeka (today on their way to the fair grounds." School not starting until next week will give all the children on the North side a- chance to see the exhibits. The northern part of Shawnee coun ty is well represented by displays of agriculture and horticulture. Some of the finest fruit farms in the entire country are located north of the Kaw and most all have choice specimens in competition for prizes. J. Tj, Jlollister Likes the West. A letter from J. L. Hollister, who is ,ln Seattle, Wash., visiting relatives, to N a friend on the North side, states he is much in love with the western coast. Mr. Hollister left the North side about a week ago and, will spend the month of September in Seattle, Vi then going south to San Francisco where he will attend the fair and later to Los Angeles where he may possibly spend the coming winter. Preaches Instructive Sermon. An instructive evening sermon was preached last night by the Rev. Joseph P. Hicks of the Second Pres byterian church on "The Relation of the Bible to the Public Schools." The same theme is used in an article writ ten by the Rev. Mr. Hicks, which was published in "The Presbyterian Ad vance," in the March issue of that magazine. Four distinct reasons were given why the Bible has a place in the education of the rising generation. A Blv" Ribbon Family. The seventieth enniversary of Mr. A. S. Palmer was celebrated at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Ira Stump, North i Quincy street, Sunday. Mr. Palmer has been a resident of Topeka for over thirty years. He is the father of five boys and five girls, all living, the larpest of which is 0 feet 3r- Inches tall and weighs 26i pounds." The "baby" of the family Is 5 feet 4 inches tall and weighs 153 pounds. All of these children are married, and living in Topeka with the exception of one daughter, who resides in Seattle, Wash. There were present at this anniver sary five sons, fiv sons-in-law, five daughters, five daughters-in-law and tweny grandchildren of Mr. Palmer. The entire family will attend the state fair next Wednesday and while they will not be on exhibition, we venture the suggestion that there would not be many competitors for the blue rib bon. Notes and Personals. Leo Elmore of the Shawnee State bank is taking a vacation this week. E. I. Willits and daughter. Thelta, of Volland. are visiting relatives in North and South Topeka this week and also attending the fair.

The picture plays that will be of- fered for the first half will be "The iNeal of the Navy," second episode, showing for the first time Lillian MViOE-ME SOrXrVY- KIN 1 DO AtT I HAVE A, iPLiT-ri My.

On Wednesday only and every Wed nesday the Bathe Gold Rooster plays will be offered for the Hip patrons. The first will be Clifton Crawford in the Galoper, a five act comedy. At the Grand. The attraction for fair week at the Grand opera house will be the well known Grandl Stock company headed by Lillian Leigh and Mr. Robert Grandi, supported by an unusual capable cast including Messrs. Arthur and Carl Grandi, Lee Kirk and Cos tello and the Misaes Kelly, Snyder and White and others. They have"a fine line of plays including Thorns and Orange Elossoms, Rip Van Winkle, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Jerry, and many others. The company will open tonight and will continue the week with a matinee Saturday. At the Novelty. All Topeka's places of amusement are well prepared to do their share toward entertaining the throngs thai will come to the big free state fair this week. Especially is this true ot the Novelty theater, where a splendid lineup of Interstate vaudeville has been booked for both halves. The bill for the first half of the week starting with matinee today will be headed by the Midora family, a troupe of sensational Japanese equili brists who will introduce the only Japanese dwarf, also the only Japa nese girls in the world who do the fa mous Japanese pole and perch trick. An act called "A Man, a Maid and a Bench" is a comedy patter-logue which will be offered by Fred Jarvis and Frederico Harrison, who are said to be clever entertainers. Good sketches are always welcome and they say that "Me and Mary" as presented by Thomas Swift and com pany, is one of the welcome kind. The Jameson duo will dispense mu sic that is said to be palatable and will satisfy the appetite of those who like the classics as well as the popular va riety. The playing of a xylophone "by a man who knows how is what they say about El Cota who will opei. the Nov elty bill. The Paramount Travelogue will have- its- usual important part to play in the first half program. To mUs one of these travelogues means quite a loss.

Demand for Male Instructors in Pub lic Schools Grows Rapidly. Emo.ria, Kan., Sept. 13. "The de mand for men in the public schools is more evident at the Kansas State Normal this year than ever before, says Carl W. Salser, head of the ex tension division.

The salaries for men of this year's class vary from J900 to $1,400 and average $1,125. The average for women of this year's class is $80 to $85. More than 300 teachers from the State Normal have gone this year into the schools of Kansas. The appoint ment bureau at the normal has been in a great n ny cases unable to rec ommend candidates because of the unusually large number of calls for well trained teachers. The average salary for teaching positions in Kan sas shows a marked increase as judged from the salaries received by those who have gone out from t:.e Emporia Normal to teach this year.
