There are between five and ten thou sand out of town visitors in the city today and every one of them got their shoes muddy at the fair grounds. Neither were Topekans kept from vis iting tho exhibits by the drizzling train which fell steadily all morning and a rartcf the afternoon even if -the pre cipitation did cut attendance consider ably Dark and threatening skies had no terrors for those over the state who had planned to attend Topeka's big free fair today. Early morning trains from the north, "east, south and west were crowded while the five special trains run into the city by the Union Pacific, Rock Island and Santa Fe were crowded. Tra'ns Were Crowded.

"GREATEST FAIR," SAYS MORGAN OF HUTCHINSON "My pockets are full of olive branches. It's the greatest fair I ever saw gorgeous, grand, big in every department and complete in every detail. It's wonderful, really wonderful Thus said W. Y. (Billy) Morgan of Hutchinson, lieutenant governor, as- he came from the Topeka free fair today. There were smiles on Morgan's face. He had been to the cattle barns, the horse pavilion, the hog and sheep pens, the agricul tural and machinery exhibits even the needlework display. As he looked over the acres of exhibits the Hutchinson booster's face clouded for just a second. Possi bly in that fleeting instant Morgan gave way to his regret that he real ly didn't live in Topeka that the Topeka show was a state institu tion and not in his own home town. "I hope it all cornea to Hutchin son," sighed Morgan. "Wouldn't it be grand. I haven't a word to say in criticism not a word. I'm the most neutral man in Kansas." HORSE SHOW TONIGHT President Lux announced at 3 o'clock this afternoon that the horse show Tuesday night's program would be given tonight if it is not rain ing between 6 or 7 and 8 o'clock. By the use of gasoline drying and straw a good ground, they say, can be pro vided. BIG RAINJN STATE Streams Rise in Kansas After Big Downpour. Dam Breaks at Yates Center; Iola Is Threatened. lola.

The records show over &0 inches of rain here up to date in 1915- Traffic on the Missouri Pacific railroad has been resumed after the wrecking of a freight train twenty miles east of Iola yesterday, when a bridge, weakened by recent floods gave way after the engine had passed over. No one was injured. The dam of the Tates Center Water company on Owl creek, one mile south of that town, broke today and 'resi dents along the creek were forced to flee to places of safety. A large part of the southwest section of Woodson county was Inundated, but no loss of life was reported. Marais Des Cyg-nes Bank Full. Paola. Kan., Sept. 15.

TEUTONS HAYE SHOT THEIR BOLT, KITCHENER DECLARES London, Sept. 15. "The Germans appear almost to have shot their bolt," said Earl Kitchener, secretary for war, today. "Their advance in Russia, which at one time averaged five miles a day, nosv has diminished to less than one mile a day." MORE RAIN AND GLOOM That Is the Best the Weather Bureau Has to Offer. More rain and gloom is coming to Topeka tonight and Thursday. The weather man holds out no hope for tonight but there is a probability of a rift in the clouds tomorrow after noon. Tire temperatures will climb slightly higher tomorrow. The fore cast calls for showers tonight and probably Thursday; warmer Thurs day.

RACES AT J. ?V ,V JX1f-'''- IT'S UP TO BERLIN Washington's Future Course Hinges on Kaiser's Action. Wilson Hopes for Frank Dis avowal in Arabic Case. HESPERIAN NOTE IS WELCOME Disclaimer Shows Germany Sincere in Plunger Control. Berlin Believes Ship Sunk by Floating Mine. Washington, Sept. 15. -It is Ger- many's next move. This was government officials' free ly expressed opinion today regarding the submarine warfare controversy. The lapse of several days, probably a fortnight, was predicted before mat ters came to a head. In the mean time informal discussion through Ger man Ambassador Bernstorff and American Ambassador Gerard will continue. The administration is waiting and has some hopes of obtaining from Ber lin a disavowal of the sinking of the White Star liner Arabic. Until Ger many gives or refuses such a disavow al, high officials said no active steps would be taken by the White House. The new development which de creased tension here and gave addi tional hopes for a satisfactory settle ment was the delivery to Ambassador Gerard of a note disclaiming respon sibility for the Allan liner Hesperlart's destruction. While the Hesperian note,' accord ing to Berlin reports, which has reached the state department says it ia almost certain that a mine, and not a torpedo sank the steamship, the communication is regarded as further assurance of Germany's pledge to cease attacking passenger liners with out warning. Officials believe the natural infer ence from the Hespei ian disavowal is that Germany is loth to believe her submarine commanders are not obeying orders. GERMASIA PRAISKS WILSON. Paper Believes Hesperian Was Sunk by British Mine. Berlin, Sept. 15. (Via London.) In the German governments explana tion or the Hesperian case, Ger mania sees the way made clear for "President Wilson's ultimate position regarding the German note concern ing justification for the sinking of the Arabic." The newspaper declares the British press must' give up its hopes of se rious difficulties between Berlin and Washington. It pra'ses President Wilson for having refused to be in fluenced by British reports of a new menace to German-American rela tions which had Just been guided into a more peaceful channel, and adds: "The president's cool self -containment is now justified- The British tissue of lies is at last torn to pieces, and if anything remains of the en tire question of responsibility for the misfortune, it probably will rest im Tnediftelv. as suspected, on one of Britain's excellent anchored mines." Hesperian Blast in Dark. Berlin, Sept. 15 (via Wireless to Sayville). The Oversea News agency says it is virtually certain that the steamship Hesperian was not sunk by a German submarine, and adds: "If as is said by a London newspa per one member of the Herperian crew pretends to have seen a German sub marine this means nothing, as the ex plosion occurred at about 8:45 p. m. when it was dark. Moreover, it has invariably been the case recently that when an explosion has been shown to have been due to a mine, several so-called eye-witnesses pre tended to have seen the periscope of a submarine." Von Bernstorff Is Reticent. New York, Sept. 15. Ambassador Bernstorff. back at his hotel here, to day said he anticipated no further de velopments in the situation between Germany and America for at least a fortnight. Beyond this he was un willing to discuss the new develop ment's between this country and his own. ASQU1TH ASKS BILLION AND QUARTER MORE; DAILY WAR COST, $17,500,000 London, Sept. 15. Premier As quith in the house of commons to day moved a vote of credit of 250, 000.000 pounds ($1,250,000,000). In making the motion the premier an nounced that from July 18 to Sept. 11, the daily net expenditure for the war had been 3.500,000 pounds ($17,500,000).

ALL SECRETARIES OF STATE Will Be Invited to Come at tKte Same Time. Kansas Statute to Be Extended to Whole Union. Blue sky officials frcm nearly one half of the states in the union will meet in Topeka in October, accord ing to S. T. Scaton of the Kansas blue sky department. who today an nounced a call for a national conven tion. Seatrn has designated October 21-2 2 as the dates for the blue sky meeting. Efforts are now being made to bring the secretaries of state to Topeka for formal organization on the same dates- The plan recently outlined by Sea- ton, calls for the enactment or uni form blue sky laws in all states. He also proposes federal enactments to protect the investors against worth less investments in stocKs, real es tate. mining ventures and other se curities- Nearly thirty states now have blue sky laws on their -statute books, t Many t the laws were framed from the general provisions of the Kansas act.

German Jfaval Critic Holds Capital Fortified City. Berlin, Sept. 15 (via London). Count von Reventlow, the naval writ er, replies in the Tages Zeltung today to British criticism of German airship raids over London. He states that London is a fortress and that Sir Percy Scott, the newly appointed de fender of the city from aerial attacks, should order the civil population of London to depart. The count asserts it is not Ger many's responsibility that the fortress of London, attacked many times, has not been evacuated and states that the failure of the British government to order the people to abandon it shows "disdainful disregard of the principles of humanity, civilization and interna tional law." The airship attacks, Count von Re ventlow insists, are legal and of a purely military character, accomplish ing the destruction of vessels, wharves, magazines and other property serving war purposes directly or indirectly. Asserting that against such operations not one syllable can be spoken,, he concludes: "We hope confidently that the say ing, 'Throwing bombs on London' will soon be as trite as the phrase, 'Carry ing coals to Newcastle." with the nota ble difference, however, that in New castle there are coals enough, while in London by far toe few German bombs have thus far been exploded." LONDON PLANS REPRISALS. Glolie Vrges Raids Over German Towns; Attacks Stir Capital. London, Sept. 15. The London newspapers both editorially and in letters to the editor, are giving an in creased amount of space to the recent air raids on the city. Two general lines of comment are adopted one of gratitude at the appointment of Sir Percv Scott to taKe cnarge oi tne de fenses of London, from aerial attacks; the other, sarcastic criticism that some steps have not been taken be fore. "It is getting rather hapd to keep up with the Zeppelin visits," says the Pall Mall Gazette. "Lately they seem to have taken place every night. There was another on the night of the 13th and may be later in the day we shall hear of a raid last night. Remember ing the raids that have come off, we are upt to forget the failures. We are inclined to believe that only a little extra luck enabled the invader to slip through a week ago." The Globe is arranging a mass meet ing to demand reprisals so that every raid over an English town shall he answered by one over a German town. Count von Reventlows plea for great er vehemence in the air attacks on London have been published here. North German Conference On. New Ulm, Minn., Sept. 15. The North German conference of the Methodist Episcopal church opened an annual session here today. The con ference will last through Sunday. j life i H GET OUTMEXICO! Consuls and Consular Agents Told to Come Home. Another Border Plot Foiled; Steel Barrier Along Line. HOLIDAY UPRISING IS FEARED TJ. S. Seeks to Curb "Indepen dence Day" Reprisals. Two Day Celebration Charged With Grave Possibilities. Washington, Sept. 15. American consuls and consular agents in North ern Sonora and Chihuahua have been ordered by this government to with draw to the United States because of the dangers in border uprisings and inability of Mexican military leaders to protect them. The order to the consuls followed action by the state department in re peating advices to American citizens in northern Mexico to remain away from that country for the present. The government, it is raid, wishes to forestall difficulties which may arise over acts of marauding bands which are threatening more depredations in northern Mexico. In several in stances, it is reported, Mexican mil itary leaders have said they would not be responsible for the safety of American citizens or officials. New Plot Nipped. San Benito, Tex., Sept. 15. Heavy cavalry and infantry patrols, which were rushed to this city of 5,000 per sons during last night kept off a threatened attack by Mexican bandits Evidence of a plot to terrorize the city last night was strengthened by reports to army patrols during the night of activities of Mexicans outside of town. Just before dawn, the time which the commanding officers here sus pected was chosen for the attack, in fantry details were sent out along the roads for some distance from town to be ready to meet the attack. The army's quick work during the night evidently stopped the Mexicans from carrying out whatever plans they had. Soon after sunrise, San Benito resumed its normal aspect and ranch owners who had come into town for the night started back to the coun try to resume work. San Renito Marked for Attack. Officers Nhere believe that San Benito may be subjected to similar threats any night for the next several days. Mexicans here have told citi zens about an organization of revolu tionists which planned to make a demonstration at some other place to draw troops away from here and then Continued on Page 2.) BOTKIN CASE IS UP Investigating Commission Here to Render Decision. Hunting for Place on !Neck to Apply the Axe. Members of tho commission ap pointed by Governor Capper are in Topeka today to make their final guess on the evidence in the ouster proceedings against Warden J. D. Botkin. It was stated that the entire day would be spent in consideration of the evidence and that a deciison would probably not be announced until sometime Thursday. Botkin was suspended as warden of the state prison early in July, fol lowing the filing of charges with Governor Capper by B. D. Jones, a discharged employee at the peniten tiary. The commission spent ten days investigating the charges and took a three weeks' recess awaiting the preparation of transcripts of the tes timony. Amon? political observers, who have followed the progress of the Botkin case, there is a general impression that the commission is carefully inspecting Botkin's official neck in an effort to find a proper place to apply the ax. Three Republicans, a Progressive and a Democrat compose the commission. Botkin, a Democrat, was appointed by Governor Hodges in 1913 to succeed J. K. Codding, Republican. Botkin was confirmed by the senate and his commission expires September 1, 1917. Members of the commission which heard testimony in the Botkin case are: Senators James A. Troutman. Topeka; Noah L. Bowman, Garnett; Representatives L. J. Pettyjohn. Dodge City; Walter A. Layton, Os borne, and A. J. Holderman, Eldo rado. Laughed and Died. Sioux Falls, S. D.; Sept, 15. Deliah Wyant, 16, is dead today because she iaughed. While eating peas in her garden, some one said something to make her laugh. A pea lodged in her bronchial tube, and she died before as sistance could reach fcer. PLOT TO SLAY MEMBERS OF FOREIGN LOAN BOARD New York, Sept. 15. The pro German campaign against the flo tation of a billion-dollar credit loan in the United States to Great Britain and I'rance appeared to day to assume the proportions of a country-wide plot, threatening even the personal gaiety of the six members of the Anglo-French financial commission. Members of the commission, of which Lord Reading;, lord chief justice of England. Is chairman have dou bled their body guards, it became known- today. They have been requested by the police of New York not to announce in advance their plans for any day and in no instance appear on the streets without detectives guarding them. More than fifty threatening let ters havfl been received by the commission. Their contents runs the scale from abuse to threats against the lives of the members of the commission. TEUTONSJN PERIL Advanced Position of Germans Fraught With Danger. Russians Threaten to Strike at Danger Salient. London, Sept. 15. While Field Marshal Von Hindenburg"s cavalry is astride the Petrograd railroad and the Germans have made large cap tures of prisoners and guns in Cour land, the Russians are again counter ing these efforts, not only by check ing the attempt of the Austrians to resume the offensive in Galicla, but by inflicting another reverse on the Austro-German forces in the same vicinity. Svientsiany, where the German cav alry cut the railroad, is half way be tween Vilna and Dvinsk and about 400 miles from Petrograd. The Rus sians assert this raid by the Ger mans has formed a dangerous salient in their line, of which their oppo nents are likely to take advantage. It is clear that whatever strategic move may be involved in this ad vance, recent events indicate the near approach of the important en gagement in the Vilna region which was redicted a fortnight ago by Gen eral Polivanoff, the Russian minister of war. Further along the line, the Ger man armies operating on both banks of the Nieman, have not yet formed a Junction and Russian rear -guards are still witnarawing eastwaro. Russian military writers are warn ing the people not to expect too great developments from the Galician or fensive. Discussion in the house of commons today is to be turned from the ab serbing topic of conscription to the voting of another huge war credit. Bomb Fighting in West Paris, Sept. 15 The French war office this afternoon gave out this statement: "In the Artois district, in the sec tors of Neuville and Breton Court, there has been fightingwithgrenades, accompanied by artillery exchanges. Yesterday also saw engagements with bombs in the vicinity of Lisons, west of Chaulnes, and in the forest of St. RTard, east of Tracy-Le-Val. "There has been spirited cannonad ing north of the Camp de Chalons and fighting with mines is taking place in the western part of the Argonne. "The night passed without incident on the remainder of the front." BIG BRIBE OFFER Longshoremen's Head in Grave Charge Against Germans. Offered $1,350,000 for Strike of One Month. Toledo, Ohio, Sept. 15. German agents offered T. V. O'Connor, presi dent of the International Longshore men's union, $1, 350, 000 for a one month strike of his men along the At lantic and Pacific seaboards. That was the statement made today by O'Connor himself. He told dele gates of the Longshoremen's union of the Great Lake district of the offr and cautioned them not to be misled by machinations of German or Aus trian agents. The huge bribe, O'Connor said, was made by a Boston grocer, the money being equivalent to one' month's strike benefits for the 24,000 men -in the deep water division. A strike, O'Con nor stated, would greatly hamper ship ments of ammunition to the allies and give Austro-German agents a better opportunity to plant bombs in ves- ioipCl ILL Kaiser's Oldest Son Cracks Under Strain of Campaign. Going Without Sleep Produces Mental Aberration. London. Sept. 15. A sensational re port coming from German sources and received here by way of Rotterdam says that the German crown prince is suffering from mental aberration as the result of the worries of the cam paign. The crown prince undoubtedly has not spared himself in his attempt to strike a decisive blow or the west ern front. Prisoners state that for three days during the recent offen sive he went entirely without sleep. He has now broken under the strain, according to the German report, which adds that in spite of the entreaties of the Crown Princess Cecelie. the crown prince refuses to relinquish his com mand even temporarily. Weather Forecast for Kansas. Showers tonight and probably Thursday; warmer Thursday. GERMAN SCHEME AFOOT TO BLOCK LOANJO ALLIES Teutons Plan to Borrow Half Billion in 17. S. Hope to Tie Up Money Market Against Their Enemies. BANK RONS ARE THREATENED Recalcitrant Firms Face Whole sale Withdrawals. Campaign Launched Under Cover of American Citizens. New Tork. Sept- IS. The Anglo French financial commission todar heard that German agents, alarmed, at the momentum gained in the laot few days by the movement to lend Great Britain and France a billion, dollars to be spent for supplies here, had instituted a country-wide cam paign against the flotation of th proposed credit loan. Some of these agents, the commis sion was informed, were known an men who had furthered the spread of the German propaganda during the presence in this country of Dr. Bern hard Dernberg. Who furnished the finances to maintain these agents was a matter which aroused the in terest of the commissioners. Under Cover of U. S. Citizens. According to information whicii came to the commissioners, the Ger man attack upon the proposed loan was launched from the cover of American citizens of German parent age, nativity or sympathies, although, in reality thesa citizens were not th prime movers in the agitation. Th attack included not only the nega tive stand in refusing to participate. which the agitators hope will b Con tinned on PageTwo.l TAFT ONTHE WAR Ex-President Thinks U. S. Will Keep Skirts Clear. Five Thousand Hear Address at Stanford University. Stanford. University, Calif., Sept. 15. William Howard Taft, former pres ident of the United States, addressed an audience of 5,000 in the football bleachers at Stanford university 'luos day. His address was on "World Rela tionship." He predicted the United Slates will keep out of the war. said tho belligerents do not want us in and that President Wilson is op posed to our going into war, and th.it therefore we will probably keep out. "My guess," said Judge Taft, "is that this war will last at least two years more. It will be a question of endurance. When both sides are down and out we will have peace." He suggested that this nation makit a treaty with two or three of the mora powerful nations to make war imDos- sitle. He proposed an international court or as many nations as will -jo.ne into the pact, to decide questions of international importance. He t-a:-l these questions which this court conid not decide should be referred to n. conciliation committee and that if any nation of such a league should go tj war witn another nation of tliiit league without having its rase trlol by the international court, all othr na tions of the league should defend tha nation attacked. LAME ZEPPELIN DOWN Crippled Airxhip Relieved to Have Figured in Riga Gulf Raid. London, Sept, 15. A German air ship badly damaged by Russian gun fire has descended at Koenigsberg, East Prussia, according to Amsterdam dispatches to the Central News. It is believed to have been one of thuxs that participated in the raid on th Gulf or Riga, A German statement issued Septi-m-ber 10 stated that a naval airship dropped several bombs on a Russian naval base at a Baltic port and re turned undamaged, although it was fired upon. Taft Is 58 Today. Cincinnati, O.. Sept. 15. Former President William Howard Taft was 58 today. The present Yale professor was born in Cincinnati September 15. 1857. He was admitted to the Ohio bar in 1S80. After he had been grad uated from Yale and the Cincinnati Law school he worked as a reporter for the Cincinnati Times and later for the Cincinnati Commercial. Then he became assistant prosecuting attorney of Hamilton county, which was the beginning of his long service in public office. WASHINGTON AGAIN WARNS AMERICANS OUT OF MEXICO Washington, Sept. 15.

The warning was as follows: "Owing to disturbed condi tions prevailing along the Mexican border, the govern ment repeats the advice here tofore given to American citi zens to remain on this side of the international line for the present."

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL WEDNESDAY EVENING SEPTEMBER 15, 1915. BIGGEST STEER IN TIE WORLD lie Is on Exhibition at the Free State Fair. Is Five Years Old and lVeighs 4,180 Founds. SIX FEET AND 3 INCHES HIGH He Is 14 Feet 7 Inches Long Without His Tail. Measures 15 Feet Around Small est Part of Body. The weather jinx has been traced to hia lair. Charley, the big steer, at the fair draws rain. Wherever Char ley is rain seeks him out. Harry Hoover, owner and exhibitor, admitted the fact, or rather he made a confes sion today, and now the fair manage ment, concessionaires and patrons of Topeka's big fair are demanding that Charley be immediately chipped to Hutchinson, or taken to 96me other place removed from Topeka. But Hoover has paid for the right to ex hibit Charley and refuses to budge or even nudge the big beast and trouble is brewing and a policeman stands nearby to stop anything before it starts, for everyone wants to get rid of the weather jinx by fair means or foul. "I have been exhibiting Charles for seven weeks. This is the seventh fair I have attended this season and the seven weeks have been seven weeks of rain," croaked Hoover. If there is anything in the theory that the big steer draws ram on ac count of his size, he is certainly a. strong magnet, for he is easily twice as big as any other steer in the world. A steer that weighs a ton is a pretty big steer. Charley weighs two tons and then some. To be exact he weighs 4,180 pounds. From the tip of his shoulder to the ground he measures rix feet and three inches, and he is fourteen feet and seven inches long without counting his tail. Should Charley be wrapped up in a blanket such as is used on some of the little Jerseys in the Longview herd, six of these blankets would have to be sewed together and then they would only partially cover the big beast. He is 15 feet and 1 inch in ircumfer ence around the smallest part of his body. Charley Is a thoroughbred Short horn. He was born on the farm of Charles Ainsworth of Eureka, Kan., five years ago August 19, last. When two years old he weighed 1,900 pounds and was sold to Harry Hoover, -the present owner, for ten cents per pound. While the animal weighs 4, 180 pounds in his present condition, he is not especially fat. There are many prize animals of the beef breeds on the grounds that are much fatter and weigh only half as much. LAKE STEAMER DOWN More Than 100,000 Bushels of Wheat to Bottom. Duluth, Minn., Sept. 15. The steamer Onoko, belonging to tho Steinbrenner Interests of Cleveland, Ohio, loaded with 110,000 bushels of wheat, consigned to Buffalo by the Capitol Elevator company, sunk Tues day afternoon off Knife island, ab-jut fourteen miles west of Duluth, almost without a moment's warning. None of the crew was lost. Captain Dunn reported to G. A. Tomlinson, agent of the Onoko at this point, as follows: "We have no way of knowing what happened. The lake was smooth ?nj we had no indication of anything be ing wrong until off Knife island. We were about nine miles out, in the reg ular course, when the engineer came forward and reported to me that the ship was leaking under the engines. By the time I got back there the water was spurting in and a few minutes later stopped the engines. There was no Question that the ship was doomed and I ordered out the boats. A few moments after we got clear the Onoko went down." AFTERCHIGAG06UNMEN Hoyne Starts Crusade to Purge I-abor I'nions of Gangsters. Chicago, Sept. 15. A crusade to drive labor gunmen and sluggers out of Chicago was started today by State's Attroney Hoyne. An investigation conducted by the state's attorney's office revealed a gang of gunmen in several unions who have carried on a wrecking and mur dering campaign for years. They have been working without the cogni sance of the majority of the union members, it was said. Extortion, graft and vengeance on contractors, as well as revenge on other union members, make up the most part of the work of these gun men, the inquiry disclosed. IT IS TOO BOISTEROUS Decatur Co. Republicans Object to Noisy Return of Bull Moose. Obsrlin, Kan., Sept. 15. Promi nent Decatur county Republicans have expressed their satisfaction over the return of Sixth district Progres sives to the Republican fold, but in the home town of Otis L- Benton there is not a general desire to allot all of the Bull Moose votes to Max Anderson of Beloit, Benton's running mate In the Republican congressional race. It is tha apparent tendency of the Progressives to return to he SEE Before You Buy a Writa If You Cannot Call 822 KANSAS AVE. FACTORT BRANCH party and preside as dictators that has- aroused Benton's frienus in his home community. R. A. Marks of Oberlin today gave ou: a statement in which he criticised the recent statement of Fred Knapp of Beloit. secretary of the Progressive state committee, urging Progressives to support Max Anderson fop con gress in the Sixth district. "It must not be forgotten that under the primary system the bosses are not going to get behind closed doors and fix up a job and tell the boys how to vote." said Marks. "Mr. Knapp or no other 'would-be boss' will be abe to dictate who will be the candidate for this office or that office- The man who is nominated for congress nixt yea.r in this district must come up to the standard of the voters of the district on many ques tions. Of course we are glad to have Brother Knapp enthusiastically back in the Republican party, but it is somewhat presumptuous for him to come back with a splash and at the first jump take the chair at the head of the table and assume dictatorship in th.s congressional district." BLOCK LOAN TO ALLIES Continued from Pa ge One.3 taken by banks with large lists oi German-American depositors, it was reported, but embraced extreme measures against any banks with German-American depositors helping in any way to finance the loan. Wholesale Withdrawal Threatened The campaign, according to reports from sources regarded as reliable, contemplated heavy withdrawals, wholesale in extent, from banks par ticinatinsr in the loan, as an expres sion of the displeasure of the pro- German depositors. Anothtr method which was report ed to be in favcr of these opposing the flotation of the loan was the pro posal to float a similar loan for Ger many. The amount of the proposed German loan, the commission heard, was to be half a billion dollars. It was designed, according to the commissioners' information, not as a bona fide movement to place that great sum at the disposal of the Ger man empire here, for Germany, un able to import American products, could not spend it, but purely as an embarrassment to the Anglo-French commission. If half a billion dollars of American money were tied up in this loan, the proponents of the plan were understood to believe it would make it extremely difficult almost impossible for Great Britain and France to succeed in their quest for a billion dollars in these money markets. Bank Officers Menaced. A less drastic method of attack. It was reported to the commission, was the apparent intention of the pro German element to induce by persua sion, or otherwise, every bank officer In the United States with German blood in his veins; to oppose the par ticipation of his bank in the flotation of the loan. This feature of the cam paign, it was reported, had been sys tematized to a remarkable degree, so that the name of every such officer was said to be in the possession of those directing the agitation. The movement, from what the commission heard, had its origin in the east and its greatest activity in the middle west, especially in the large cities where the German element Is considerable in number. Although not so manifest here In New York as elsewhere, it was said the plan was by no means inactive in this city. This was evidenced, according to reliable reports, by a flood of protests made by German sympathizers to some of the largest banks here, voic ing in terms so alike that their in spiration was believed to have had a common source. WILSON NOT AGAINST LOAN. Many Protests Reacli Washington; One Man Predicts Panic. Washington, Sept. 15. Protests against the Anglo-French credit loan being negotiated in this country were received at the White House today In telegrams from various parts of tjie country. One man in Michigan wired runs would be started on banks partic ipating in the loan and that panics would be precipitated. No indications of organized opposi tion, however, have been made ap parent here, officials assert. No pro test or communication of any kind re garding the proposed loan has come from the German government so far as can be learned, and the American government is said to have no inten tion of interfering with the effort of the Anglo-French banking commis sion. Officials In close touch with the ad ministration assert that 'he question had not been fully considered either by President Wilson or Secretary Lansing. They hold the view that in asmuch as the purpose is to" raise the money for purchase of goods in the United States it is unlikely that the government will interpose objection. A few communications criticising the loan reach the state department, but none was from a representative of any foreign government. The de partment has taken no action on the communications, and indications are that it is unlikely to do so. It was stated on authority that the depart ment has no objection to credit loans.

THE Piano- Not After P.P.WHTTMORE MANAGER BROWN JO CARDS St. Louis Nationals Get Classy Topeka Outfielder. The "Big Moose" Left Barn stormers at Manhattan. Moose Brown, the classy young out fielder who was picked up by John Savage from the Nebraska State league and who literally set the West ern league on fire after he joined the Topeka club, has gone the Sammy Mayer route to the big show, accord ing to information received today from a member of the Topeka team, and Brown is now the porperty of the St. Louis Cardinals. According to the information re ceived this morning. Brown left the Barnstormers when they were at Man hattan, and joined the Cardinals in St. Louis. He played in the regular line up Monday, got one hit and one walk out of three times at bat, and one put out and one assist in center field. Savage Confirms It. When Owner Savage of the Topeka club was asked about the matter this morning, he admitted that Brown was sold conditionally several weeks ago, but said the deal was not made pub lic at the request of the St. Louis club. Savage said that just before he left to attend the Omaha meeting Brown was ordered to report. The deal was made, it is understood, when Scout Connery was here before the Savages went on their last road trip. Brown came to Topeka after the Nebraska State league blew up. He played In 66 games and led the club in batting with a percentage of .320. Out of 20 3 times at bat he got 43 runs, 65 hits, 3 home runs, 6 sacrifice hits and 12 stolen bases. He only made one error on the home grounds and that was on a hard chance that almost made it excusable. It was the last out of the game when the ball was hit and Brown, thinking it was going to centerfleld, started to the club house. However, it came in his territory and, although he made a desperate effort, he was not able to snag it. When asked this morning if he had signed any more players for next sea son Owner Savage said he had not, but that he was trying to get Gene Cocreham, and had written him sev eral letters, but had not heard from him. Nick Lakaff, who left the Barn stormers the first of the week, has gone to his home in Ohio. Lakaff will go into business for the winter, but hopes to play with Topeka again next season. PUSH BLUE SKY LAW (Continued from Page One.) to outline strictly uniform state laws and a broad federal statute that will not conflict with the state laws. "In addition to broadening the scope of the blue sky law, a close organization will be of great benefit in all states," said Seaton. "By working with the department cf jus tice and the postal department in Washington, the states and federal government will be of mutual benefit in putting fake stock selling agents out of business. I believe that the states can also formulate a system for the exchange of confidential in formation that will protect hundreds of investors and relieve much of the expense of the administration of the laws." Letters have been received by Sea ton from about 20 states indicating that they will send representatives to the first blue sky convention. The meeting will be held in the state house in Topeka and it is probable that nearly every statu with a blue sky law on its statute books, as well as several states now considerins the measure, will be represented. Several federal departments have also been asked to send representatives. At present J. T. Botkln, secretary of state, is working with the local Commercial club in an effort to bring the first annual convention of secre taries of state to Topeka. Should he succeed, the two conventions will be held on the same dates. In several states the enforcement of the blue sky law is under the juris diction of the secretary of state. Be cause of this situation, force is given the argument for bringing the secre taries of state meeting to Kansas. In this state the blue sky law enforce ment is under the jurisdiction of the state banking department. A program for the meeting of the blue sky officials will be announced about October 1, NEW PLOT NIPPED. fContlnnefl from Page One.l fire into San Benito. For that reason San Benito will be closely guarded for several days. Army patrols here or in the immediate neighborhood "num ber three companies of infantry and two troops of cavalry. The town of Mercedes, about 20 miles from here, has been included in some of the threats made against San Benito. A few days ago quite a num ber of strange Mexicans were noticed here. At the same time several old and trusted Mexican household serv ants advised their employers to leave because they had heard that the bandits were going to attack. Yester day these strange Mexicans disappear ed from town. Ranchers began com ing into San Benito from nearby farms bringing their families in automobiles and with long rifle barrels thrust over head. Mexicans Talking Bad. These ranchers reported that the Mexicans were "talking bad" out in the country or that they were uneasy about the approach of Mexican inde pendence day, the celebration of which begins today. Col. Robert L. Bullard, at Harlin gen, sent the infantry and cavalry to San Benito, while Col. A. P. Blocksom, at Brownsville, ordered out a troop train to bring more infantry here. San Benito citizens were organized several days ago into a public safety committee. Members of this commit tee were put on guard about town and the outskirts. Citizens raised a. purse. or several nunarea aoiiars to Duy more ammunition. Some time after midnight several mounted men were observed some dis tance outside of San Benito. No American goes mounted at night through this country without making his identity known. These men press ed close to town without revealing their identity. Motors Loaded With Soldiers. Capt- Brune T. Scher of the Twenty sixth Infantry and Major David filled ten automobiles with soldiers, station ing them on he main street where the soldiers slepi. under arms In the ma chines, their drivers ready for a dash Into the country. Plans were made to commandeer some school houses on the outskirts of town and use them as block houses. All these preparations kept San Benito in a blaze of light. The troop train headlight coming into San Benito hours after all regular train traffic had ceased for the night threw a glare for miles over the mesquite prairies and officers believe that this and other lighting effects probably were a strong restraining influence on the Mexicans. Three Mexican prisoners who were taken under suspicion after the Los Indos fight and who were killed near San Benito Monday night, were M. Rincones, A. Bala and An gela Riviera. They did not escape from jail, as reported last night, but are reported to have tried to escape from the automobile in which they were being taken to Harlingen, a few miles north of here. Danger In Mexican Holiday. Brownsville, Tex., Sept, 15. Two companies of infantry were hurried out of Brownsville last night for San Benito and Lyford, north of here, on reports that there was danger from Mexican bandits near those places. With six Mexicans found eead yester day, five of them shot and one floating in the Rio Grande, the Brownsville valley last nignt made extensive preparations to prevent reprisals or outbreaks during a two day .celebra tion of the Mexican national holiday. This celebration is due to begin to day, according to Mexican custom. One suspicious movement of armed men on the Mexican side of the Rio Grande was observed late yesterday. These Mexicans carried red flags. Ex cept for this incident, all reports of danger came from the American side exclusively, most of them from a con siderable distance in the interior. A tronn of Carranza soldiers over La Feria, about 30 miles up the Rio Grande, late yesterday blew bugles and left their posts. As they rode away a few shouted "Death to the gringoes." Later a band of about 90 men carrying two red flags occupied the vacated Carranza post. Capt. A. P. V. Anderson, of the Twelfth .cav alry, kept a close watch with his men on these Mexicans. The red flag has been the emblem found on some but tons worn by bandits on the American side of the river. Bandits Terrorizo Town. Laredo, Sept. 15. Mexicans hidden in the brush on the Mexican side lact night fired about fifty shots into the little town of Somon, twenty miles up the river from Laredo, and residents deserted the town. Workmen at irri gations pump plants fled, and a hurry cill vas sent for troops. Cavalry from Dolores was rushed to the scene, but no further shots were fired. All cav alry stationed at Fort Mcintosh was sent to patrol the border in every di rection today. GRAVITATION IS DEFIED Italian Solves Problem of Ranging Object in Midair. Paris, Sept. 15. An Italian ..en gineer, Louis Rota, has solved the problem of holding an object motion less in space, according to the Mar seilles correspondent of the Petit Parisien. Rota is credited with hav ing constructed an apparatus which by the action of electric currents can be elevated to a height of from 2,000 to 3,000 feet and kept motionless, or propelled in any direction at a speed of more than 100 miles an hour. Rota's apparatus is spindle shaped, twelve feet long and two feet in diam eter, and can carry a weight of ninety pounds. It is said to remain motion less in a wind of considerable velocity, but if the wind becomes very strong it rises automatically until it reaches a calmer region of the air. The invention is based upon reac tion obtained from the electro-magnetic forces of the atmosphere. SHAFT TO MASSASOIT Lodge of Red Men to Erect Memorial to Indian Chief. Chicago, Sept. 15.

WHEAT Wheat prices leaned to the bear side of the mar ket today, influenced chiefly by lower quo tations from Liverpool. British traders were reported to have adopted a waiting attitude, relying on enlarged receipts soon, both in the United States and Canada Official estimates of the Canadian yield amounted to nearly double last year's total. The opening here, which ranged from c decline to c advance with Sep tember at $1.01 to $1.01 and December at 95c to 95e, was followed by a mod erate upturn, and then a sag all around. Subsequently reports of heavy hedging sales at Minneapolis gave the market a material setback. The close was steady, c to 11c net lower, with September at $1.00 and December at 94&94c. COKN Fears of frost tended to harden corn. Pit offerings were readily absorbed. After opening at unchanged to e higher, the market scored some additional gains before opening to react. In later transactions the market sym pathized to some extent with the break in wheat values. The close was unsettled at a shade to c above last night. OATS Oats were strengthened a little gv wet weather. Trade though was light. 'PROVISIONS Provisions rose decidedly on account of substantial buying and be cause of offerings being only moderate. The orders to purchase appeared to be largely for investment. Cnleaco tiraln Market. JTbe range of prices for grain future on The Chicago Board of Trade aa repoted by Thoa. J. Myers. Broker.

France Wheat yield in central and eastern districts was below normal and very deficient in the south. Supplies are insufficient and importations will be liberal. The senate committee has rejected the government proposal for a monopoly on Imported wheat. Russia Storms have occurred over a wide area of the agricultural districts. Late wheat harvesting and movement is delayed. Stor age facilities are Inadequate. Balkan States Weather is favorable for movement and threshing.

Other war shares shaded 1 to 3 points, except Beth lehem Steel preferred, which rose 10 points to 159 and American Locomotive which rose 3 to 56. United States Steel made a second recovery and Coppers also im proved. Union Pacific regained its frac tional loss, but Hock Island brought 2 to 20 on confirmation of the report that suit was to be instituted against present and former dirctors of the operating com pany. Bonds were steady in the face of more foreign selling. Early trading in stocks today was mainly a repetition of recent sessions.

A heavy track this morning threat ened to mar today's racing program at the free fair, and it was feared that unless the sun came to the rescue the races might have to be called off. However, the officials stated that the events would be run as per schedule, if possible. Today's card promised equally as much in the way of diversified enter tainment as Tuesday's, and if the track had been in condition some new records were expected. The feature of the day was expect ed to be the 2:11 pace, the first race of the afternoon, in which some of the fastest goers at the track were enter ed. Choice of favorites in this event lay between McGregor Mack, Arnold Patchen, Rose Equity and Black Squaw, with almost every dopester picking a different one. The other events on today's bill were: 2:19 trot; 2:25 pace; the 6 furlongs, running; and the 4 fur longs, running. Tuesday's Results. Considering weather and track con ditions. Tuesday's card, including the Kansas Derby, was probably as good a program as was ever seen in To peka. When the first race was called, the course was in good condition ex cept for a few mud holes in front of the grandstand that were made by the early morning rains. But before the program was half over the track was about as heavy as it could get, and horses that did not win ate mud all the way around. However, in spite of these condi tions, Hal McKinney, in the free-for-all pace, and Aubrey O.. in the 2:14 trot, equalled the track record. Re liable horsemen who saw the events Mated that if the track had been any thing like normal, both of these classy animals would have smashed all pre vious records. Aubrey O. trotted the first heat of his race in 2:12, which was the same time made by Miss Banner Feed last year. He then won the next two heats which gave him the race. Hal McKinney made his record equaler in the second heat of the free-for-all. This record was set by Peggy Jim last year. Just before the heat started, rain had made the track very slippery, and under the condi tions the performance was considered most extraordinary. Hal McKinney is owned by G. X. Clark, of Winfield, Kan., and Aubrey O. by Frank J But ler, of Trenton. Mo. Both were favor ites in the betting. The Kansas Derby. The Kansas Derby furnished the surprise of the afternoon when the elements seemed to conspire against the favorites and C. M. Kennon came under the wire first, making the mile in l:4S. The experts, speculators and dope Pters were divided in their choice of favorites in the classic some picking Imprint, some Waybehind and some Freize. Imprine scratched Just before the starters went to the barrier. Wayb3hind. probably the strongest favorite, got off with a good lead and held it all the way in the first half but in taking the west curve on the second lap, slipped in the mud, throw ing his rider and barely escaping serious injuries. Waybehind attempted to get up. but was again knocked down by C. M. Kennon, who had been holding sec ond place, and after Kennon had passed the spill. Frtize and the field were considerably Impeded. This gave Kennon an undisputed lead and he gal loped into the stretch in front and came under, the wire an easy winner. jjexter sym, ravonte in the colt 6 6 7 5 took the last running event, although Prince of Castle, the much touted grey gelding, made a remarkable spurt that put him in third place after getting off last.

Owner Savage, of the local baseball club, announced Tuesday night that he had signed a prospective new shortstop for next season in the person of James Finnigan, of the South At lantic League. Finnigan hails from the same league that produced Sammy Mayer, now with Washington, and local fans hope he will prove half as good a find as Sammy has proven himself to be. Apps. First Baseman Hurt.

BRAVESJDVANCE Rudolph Put Boston Back in Second Place Tuesday. No Other Changes in the Pen nant Races. New York, Sept. 15. The world's champions Boston Nationals furnished the only change in the baseball situa tion Tuesday by jumping back into second place, as a result of their vic tory over Chicago, while Brooklyn was losing to St. Louis. The Braves hold the second position by a single per centage point over Brooklyn, the only pennant contender in either league to lose Tuesday. The Philadelphia Na tionals lived up to their reputation for consistency which they established this season by winning another game from Pittsburg and thereby clinging to their four-game lead. The apparent dead lock in the American league remained unchanged. Detroit, though winning its third straight game from New York, was given no opportunity to gain on the Red Sox, who won their seventh con secutive game by defeating the some what more formidable Chicago aggre gation ahd thus retaining a three and a half game lead. The Red Sox and the Tigers wind up their series today and then cross bats at Boston for what may be the deciding struggle. Those who already concede the race to the Red Sox are speculating now whether Chicago will be able to retain third position. Washington is only iour games Demnd the White Sox and at the rate Clark Griffith's team has been going, there is a chance for it to overhaul Chicago. New York's berth in the eecond di vision also is being threatened, with St. Louis only four games behind. NATIONAL LEAGUE.

DRAFT SEASON IS ON. Many Baseball Men In Cincinnati; Se cret Rule WiU Be Used. Cincinnati. Ohio. Sept. 15. Many prominent baseball men were present when the National baseball commis sion opened its annual meeting hero today to consider draft submitted by major leagues on minor league play ers. This annual drawing for the choice of minor league players is of keen in terest to ball men and always draws a large attendance. When the commission convened it was believed it would follow the same plan as last year and not make public the names of the players drafted. This plan was adopted to outwit the Fed erals to give the clubs of the Nation al and American leagues opportunity to sign the players allotted to them by the commission. FEDERAL LEAGUE.

Speaking of colossal nerve, how about the proposal of the financiers of tha Allies to borrow a billion dollars in these United States without anything like collateral except their govern ments' bonds? Of course, these repre sent the word of their governments that they will make the debt good. And while the word of England and France in financial matters has always been as good as gold, these are un usual times and. the eventualities of the great war might make it impossi ble for them to keep their word in such an important particular. This is a wonderfully rich country, it Is true, but Dillion dollars haven't begun as yet to grow ih bunches on the bushes in the back yards of even our; biggest financiers. Nor does our dazzling fair- dim the f.lustre and importance of the stata Grand' Army of the Republic encamp rpent. which Is one of the' big events i. of state-wide interest that is on the i boards in the Kansas capital city, for :this week. And the frequency with which the Old Boys in Blue honor To .'peka with their presence, in encamp- ment assembled, is greatly appreciated by the people of the city, who delight to pay them the homage and reverence that is their due. Uncle Sam has also undertaken a Job of large proportions in his plans to stop all of the agents of the Euro pean belligerents in this country from violating its hospitality. Europe's war bugs seem to go on the theory that everything is fair everywhere when a war of half-world wide proportions holds the center of the stage. Now that Mr. Bryan has come out so pronouncedly against the people of this country making "war" loans, the i chances are thct more of them will consider the-proposition in a favorable light.'' Going counter to 'Mr. "Bryan's suggestions seems to be a favorite American pursuit these days. Wealthy north shore residents are organizing a private- school in order to be sure their children receive proper instruction in the "three R's," reports the Chicago Herald, and it suggests: Here's food for thought by pill) lie school authorities. Evidence seems not to be lacking that the Bull Moose are growing i (stronger all the time in their desires t t return to the Republican party. 5 And they may have an Idea that they will have little difficulty in taking charge of it. If all the towns in Kansas needed the periodical cleaning up, liquoraliy speaking, that the attorney general's office seems to think Leavenworth does, the state would require the serv "'ices of a whole army of assistant at torneys general. I As our government insists, there is j nothing to arbitrate with Germany be ff fore The Hague or any other tribunal j about the Arabic case unless It might be the amount of the indemnity that i Germany should ,'ay for the loss of the American lives that were incidental J to the sinking cf this ship. And on this score Gem ny refuses to confess 5 liability. Were Carranz-'s power and author Ity in Mexico as extensive as he insists they are he would have little trouble 'In establishing peace there in a short time. But the trouble is, they are not. And while Carranza may be a victim of self-delusion, it is more probable that he is trying to fool the outside world. THfc- BROADENING WAR ZONE. The war widens, and it will widen still more before it is over, writes Syd ney Brooks, in the September Atlantic. To the nine powers who were In the arena last August three more have al "s ready been added Turkey on the J Germanic side, Portugal and-Italy on iithe Bid of the Allies. Some three- fifths of the total population of the 'earth and over three-fifths of its land surface may at this moment be classed as bellige-ent. In Europe, of course, the proportion Is much higher. Some seventy-five per cent of the peoples of Europe, inhabiting roughly 3,200,000 square miles out of a total area of lightly more than 3,800, are now at war, f rom the north of Scotland to the south of Spain, and thence to. Con stantinople and the Ural mountains, and so round the entire, circuit of the Old World, only about one person in eight, only about one acre in six, lie outside the struggle. Of the fifty-six million Europeans who are at present neutral, perhaps only the twenty who dwell in the Spanish Peninsula are certain to continue so; one-half of the remainder are possible, the other half likely, combatants. As matters stand today Turkey and Germanic powers together dispose of some 460,000 square miles of European soil and 119,000,000 inhabitants, and the Allies in Europe of six times as much terri tory and about two and a half times as many subjects. j CROWDS ORDERLY, OF COURSE. Another prophecy that hasn't come true, which seems to be the rule with all varieties of prophecies, was the one projected by a few folk that the free gr' at the fair would result in unmanageable and disorderly crowds at the fair grounds. As a matter of fact, though, Topeka and the whole of Kansas, for that matter, are stran gers to disorderly crowds. And one of the largest contributory factors to this desirable condition of affairs is the Kansas prohibitory law and its rigid enforcement. What gets our goat in our spiritual life, confesses the Houston Post, is that we constantly meet up with peo ple who. when they can't find other people to stand for their misfortunes, they charge the whole bu-iness up to the world. POOR FRUIT HURTS MARKETS. Effective co-operative organizations afford the best means for profitable marketirg of the country's increas ing apple crop, according to a survey of marketing conditions in the in dustry just published as bulletin No. 302, "Apple Market Investigations, 1914-15,", by the United States de partment of agriculture. In states where apples are boxed instead of barreled, growers' associations han dle a large percentage of the output and in securing uniformity in the pack and advantageous distribution of the crop ar3 much more successful than individual producers in other sections. Where individuals act in dependently there is little uniformity in grading and much poor fruit is shipped which, in seasons of large production such as 1914, cannot be disposed of, profitably. Observations in the Chicago market showed that 25. per cent of the arrivals in carlot bulk, or the equivalent of 350 car loads, and 10 per cent of the bar reled shipments, the equivalent of about 160 carloads, were of such poor quality that the price would not have paid the freight charges had these apples been shipped by themselves. By throwing out this poor fruit the farmers would not only have saved the cost of packing and shipping, but would have cleared the market for their good stock. Similar conditions ware found elsewhere.-v-In this con nection it is said that the grade and package laws now in operation in a number of states are proving effec tive in stabilizing the market. Uni formity in state legislation of this kind, the authors state, is, however, most desirable. The effect of the war upon the industry has been found to be less disastrous than was appre hended. Because of the cheapness of the fruit, consumption was stimulated until the exports far exceeded expectations- The German ports being closed, large quantities were shipped direct to the Scandinavian markets for the first time and this should prove of considerable benefit in fu ture years. Direct trade with South America has also increased greatly and should continuse to do so, espe cially if the growing trade in meat products affords additional return fa cilities for shipment. Careful selec tion, grading and packing by hand is, however, ersential to the delivery of the fruit in good condition and only stock that may be classed as "fancy" or -"extra fancy" should be exported to South American ports- An unusual instance of doing the right thing at the right time is to be found in the condemning of the Sixth street viaduct before a big street car loaded with people fell through it. The world may not be growing better but it certainly seems to be getting more sensible. Still, -how could it be come more sensible without growing better? MASTICATION AND FOOD. Again and again in everyday life we find that some dictum which either commends itself to common sense or lends itself freely to argumentative proof is being made the basis of a widespread propaganda. What was more reasonable than to assume that water ingested with meals would dilute the gastic juice and thus diminish its efficinecy? And what was more logical than to urge the abolition of such an assumedly harmful custom of water drinking? Yet investigation has show ed that some of the postulates in this contention are wronf, and that unsus pected factors further vitiate the con clusions. Indeed, under certain con ditions water may even promote the gastic secretion, and thus upset these revered traditions. The proper mastication of food has certain obvious justifications. It pro motes a more extensive insallvation, which is not without advantage to cer tain types of foodstuffs, and it permits a speedier admixture of the digestive secretions with the food. Enthusiasts have not been content with the insis tence on these indisputable advan tages, but have attempted to infuse far-reaching effects into the habit of very complete mastication. We may be ready to admit that insufficient mastication is the cause of direct or indirect evils which may be greatly exaggerated in certain pathological conditions. When, however, we are urged to chew our food with unremit ting vigor because it "securts proper insalivation of food, increases the quantity of alkaline saliva passing into the stomach, stimulates the heart and circulation, influences the nutrition of the jaws and their appendages by stimulating blood and lymph circula tion, and, finally, tends to diminish the amount of food consumed because it is more economically disposed of in the system," one may well pause to make a few related inquiries. Where is the borderline between "truth and poetry" in these matters, asks The Journal of the American Medical Association. The two extremes of practice are doubtless represented by undermastication, as involved in the hasty bolting of food, and overmastication, to which the epithet "Fletcherizing" is sometimes applied. The real test is the amount of food actually absorbed and utilized Experiments recently carried on by Foster and Hawk show that the dif ference in food utilization in bolting and "Fletcherizing" is only 1.6 per cent. Such insignificant differences surely cannot be used in support of any enthusiastic claims for the alleged marvelous efficiency of the excessive mastication of food, even when judged by the other extreme of food bolting. In another recently published series of experiments on man in which vege table products, notably potatoes and bread, formed the prominent articles of diet, utilization was apparently Im proved by good mastication. Neither these nor the earlier quoted results are to be taken as an appeal for com plete Indifference in the matter of eat ing, but rather as an indication of the wisdom of that happy medium In mas tication which is a sign of wisdom in other functions. THOUSANDS AT FAIR Continued from Page Qpa.l tion City business men was post poned. Topeka people and fair visit ors will be initiated with a game of the thrilling sport tomorrow morning. we;itlir permitting, of course. A feature or mis mornings pro gram was the concert on the plaza by the famous Cowboy band of Sharon Springs. The musical aggregation made their appearance on Kansas avenue in costume and after a parade in various parts of the city went back to the fair grounds and gave their concert. T. i. oka's famous Marshall s band will have to "dig" to save their hon ors wh'le this aggregation is in j- neka. In cowboy costume the nine teen members eave concerts on Kan sas avenue this morning before play- ns in the plaza at the fair grounds. At the latter place an enthusiastic audience listened to the music makeis f the plair.s. Members of the band who played this lr.orning: Barney Wooaliouse, Claude Paxton, Charles Kirk, Edward Thi-rene and Lee Carter, corneusis; Al Herlbet. F-oyd Carter, Chailes Kens-ieigh, clarionets; Berg brothers, altos; I-er. Dobson, C. w. Joney, n. E.

The gates of the grounds were opened this morning at 7 o'clock. Judging of live stock in the live stock arena and the judging of other exhib its -continued this morning. It is ex pected that will be completed either Thursday evening or Friday morning. The judges of the various depart ments are swamped with the thou sands of exhibits. No Races Today. There were no races this after noon on account of the rain and a heavy track. However there was more gloom among the fair officials at hav ing to cut the program than among the crowds. All week the crowds have been good humored despite adverse conditions. Crowds at Exhibits. All exhibits were going full blast and open today. All buildings were packed with admiring visitors from over the state. There was scarcely standing room in Agricultural hal?, Art hall and the live stock and poul try pavilions. The excellent system of draining the grounds and the cindered walks and roads on which the fair as sociation has been working for wee!:s is possibly the greatest boon to trie visitors. The ten acres of machinery con tinues to draw good crowds. The sputter of the gasoline engines and the endless clanking of machinery .s a never ending attraction for farmer.?. There were more visitors from over the state today than since the begin ning of the exposition. Comments of praise for the Big Topeka Free Fair were heard on all sides. Big Day Tomorrow. Tomorrow is scheduled to be a big day. Cutting the program today, fair officials will make tomorrow and Fri day record breaking days for attraor tions. Tomorrow at 9 o'clock in the morning is scheduled the final awards of judges in all departments. How ever, owing to the thousands of dis plays it is not expected that the final awards will be made until later. The Cowboy band of Sharon Springs will play again in the morning. In the afternoon a record racing program is the main attraction witVi another concert by the Sharon Springs band. For the evening, tomorrow ;s scheduled the grand parade of dairv cattle with the horse show to follow. Famous stables of the west will com pete in the show.

MORGAN IS FOR BORAH Lieutenant Governor Favors Former Kansan for President. Among the presidential possibilities, Senator Borah of-Idaho will have a strong following in the "Seventh dis trict according to W. T. Morgan of Hutchinson, lieutenant governor. Mor gan is a former classmate of the Idaho presidential possibility. For several years after Senator Borah left Kansas university, he was engaged in the practice of law in Rice county. Later he went to Idaho, was elected to the United States senate and is now regarded as .one of the strong possibilities in the Republican presidential fight. i am naturally for Borah because we were classmates," said Morgan, who is in Topeka today to attend the free state fair. "He will have a strong following in the Seventh district if the sentiment ia fully developed. The fact that he formerly lived in the district would make him strong." TO CONFER OVER GAS Public Service Commissions of Kansas and Missouri to Meet. Jefferson City, Sept. 15. Chairman Atkinson and Judge Kennish of the Missouri public service commission will hold a conference in Kansas City, September 27, with Chairman Joseph L. Bristow and other members of the Kansas utility commission with refer ence to a proposed increase in natural gas rates to cities in this state and Kansas. This announcement was made here today. Sev.eral times within the last few weeks a conference between the Mis souri and Kansas commissioners con cerning gas questions has been dis cussed. At the conference this month the commissioners from the two states will discuss the adoption by Missouri of the Kansas commission's recent order increasing the gas rate to 2 7 cents. No action looking toward the adoption of the Kansas order was taken by the Kansas Natural Gas company. Instead the company went before Judge Flannelly and secured an order for a 30 -cent rate in Kansas. That order is now before the supreme court on appeal and will be heard September 22. SUES STATE BOARD. Farmer Wants Pay for Fossil Re- moved to K. V. Peter L.- Garrity today appealed to the state supreme coure in his fight to secure judgment for a fossil taken from his farm some months ago by Kansas university professors and stu dents. Garrity was beaten when he brought suit in the Douglas county district court. The plaintiff in- the action owns a farm in western Kansas. It is alleged that professors and students at the state university took a valuable fossil from the Garrity farm and removed it to the state university. Garrity sought to collect from the state board of ad ministration, but his claim was not allowed. Then he brought suit in the Douglas county district court, where the trial judge sustained a demurrer to his petition. Now Garrity is seek ing relief in the supreme court.

Competition Among the Vari ous Breeds Is Keen. 1 Although the Longvie'w herd of twenty-four Jerseys is the most pleas ing to look at of anything in the dairy department at the big fair, and for show-ring records and long prices has everything beaten, yet a question has arisen concerning the merits of the bes-t of these cows in competition with others as milk producers. The butter-fat contest started Tues day morning. A. Longvrew cow was entered in the contest, in which all told fifteen cows were competing. But when the first day's records of what other cows were doing in the contest became known, the Longview cow was withdrawn. She was not the only cow whose owner threw up the sponge aft er the first round of the contest. F. J. Bannister, also of Kansas City, Mo., withdrew the cows he had entered, and Charles Holston Sons of To peka, who had Holsteins entered, did likewise. The outcome of the contest is being watched with special interest, owing to the fact that the long-siought "dual purpose" cow, one producing both beef and milk, may be discovered. Wilkie Blair of Girard, Kan., has entered two cows of the Red Polled breed in tha three-day race to see which cow will produce the most butter-fat. The Red Poll is primarily a beef breed. In Two Divisions. There are two divisions in the con test; cows three years old or more arc in the senior division. Those un der that age are in the junior division. Blair has a Red Poll entrant in each division. This breed will be given a pretty fair testing in comparison with the recognized dairy breeds, as J. W. Larabee of Earlsville, 111., has a Red Poll cow in the senior division, and Charles Graff Sons of Bancroft, Neb., have entrants in each division. The dairy breed fanciers are in no vise confident that their cows will not be beaten in a contest lasting only three days, contending that the superiority of the dairy breeds is their ability to produce a large flow of milk extending over a long period of time. The Brown Swiss cattle are repre sented by one cow in each class. They are entered by Dahlen Schmidt of Eldorado. F. G. Laptad cf Lawrence has a Jersey in the Junior class, and J. H. Scott of Topeka has a Jersey in each class. The Holsteins. The Holsteins are represented by P. J. Mast of Scranton, with a cow in each division, and Segrist Steven son of Holton are competing in each class, and Charles Holston Sons of Topeka have a junior entrant, and Da vis Coleman Sons of Dennison, Kan., have one cow in the senior class. The exhibitions of dairy types of cows and the number shown on the grounds are: Holsteins J. M. Christ nut Sons, Dennison, Kan., four; Charles Holston Sons, Topeka, six teen; Segrist Stevenson, Holton, Kan., 13; George Tedrick, Kingman, Kan., six; J. P. Mast, Scranton, Kan., seventeen; Davis Coleman, Dennison, Kan., seven; R. B. Davis, Omaha, Neb., nineteen; H. W. McAfee, Topeka, one. Brown Swiss Daghlen Schmidt, Eldorado, Kan., twelve. Jerseys F. J. Bannister, Kansas City, Mo., nineteen; R: A. Long, Kan sas City, Mo., twenty-five; Oliver Doran, Topeka, nine; Erdley Son, Holton, Kan., eight; J. H. Scott, To peka, two; F. G.

FELUAILER AND WIFE Three Desperadoes Escape Tulsa Jail After Vicious Attack. Tulsa, Okla., Sept. 15. After as saulting Jailer D. C. Cooley of the Tulsa county jail, on the top floor of the court house, and his wife, late last night, James Murphy, William Moore and Charles Smith, burglars and high waymen, escaped. Cooley and his wife are in a hospital and probably will die. While Cooley was locking the cells for the night he was summonded by Smith, who asked for medicine. When the jailer started for his office, Smith, who had sawed the bars of his cell, stepped out and felled him by a blow on the head with an iron casting. None of the trio has been captured. HYDEJRIAL again off Eighth Delay Since Time Set For Fourth Hearing Is Allowed. Kansas City, Mo., Sept. 15. When the fourth trial of Dr. B. Clarke Hyde, was called in the criminal court today. Judge B. E- Porterfield granted the state's application for a continuance until the January term. Floyd Jacobs, prosecuting attorney, told the court he desired the case continued because it had been im possible to have some of the state's principal witnesses here at this time Today's was the eighth continu ance since September 8, 1913, the date originally set for starting the fourth trial. SOUTH CAROLINA IS DRY State-Wide Prohibition Is Carried by Nearly 20,000 Majority. Columbus, S. C, Sept. 15. Unoffi cial returns here today from all forty four counties of South Carolina indi cated a majority of nearly 20,000 for state-wide prohibition in the referen dum election held yesterday. The vote tabulated showed 33,483. for pro hibition and 14,341, for the present local option Eystem, under which four teen counties now operate liquor dis pensaries. Should the official count show pro hibition carried, the new law will be come effective January 1 next. Gueringer's Trial October 4. Kansas City, Mo.. Sept. 15. Vic Gueringer will be tried a second time on October 4, for attacking Mrs. Ger trude Shidler, a nurse, in Kansas City. The date was set today in the criminal court. At his first hearing Gueringer was found guilty and sentenced to hang. His case was reversed on tech nicality. Two alleged companions are serving penirentiary sentences for the crime. Exciting King Contest. St. Paul. Minn., Sept. 15. As a mute protest against police interference with their practice bouts to which specta tors were admitted. Spike Tatting and Kid Crochet, who ordinarily are Charley Hodge and Sam Taylor, staged a sewing contest. The boxers ap peared with good sized needles, and a large sheet of cloth. In the ring they sewed desperately, became interwov en in the thread, and stuck their thumbs. As a finale, the referee. Kid Glove, held the contestants' bloody thumbs aloft to indicate! a draw.

Election of Officers Followed y a Business Session. 0UEST10NS OF LEGISLATION And Co-operation With Health Board Are Discussed. Congdon Drops a Hint About Misbranded Bread. W. H. Kientz. owner of the Avalon bakery of Topeka, was today elected president of the Kansas Association of Master Bakers. His election and that of the other officers brought to a close the spirited convention of Sunflower bread makers. At 8 o'clock tonight the visitors and their wives will be entertained at the Commercial club by the local bakers and an elaborate banquet will be provided. The Topeka members of the association are fur nishing the "eats" out of their own shops. Mr. Kientz. the new president. is prominent in Topeka business circles. He has been the proprietor of the Avalon for the past ten years and has always taken an active part in tn.e bakers' association meetings. This year Kientz was chairman of the ex ecutive committee. I. Van Meter of Parsons, was re elected vice president without opposi tion. Frank Rushton of Rosedale was elected secretary, and J. M. Burns of Independence, treasurer. Two places on the executive board were filled by John Xashold of Rosedale, for the three year term, and J. V. Ostberg of Salina, retiring president, lor me no year term. The most interesting topic brought before the bakers today was the matter of legislation and co-open ation with the state health of ficers. L. A. Congdon. state pure food inspector, brought the matter be fore the bakers. Regarding the labels of weights on loaves, one baker declared that it is a difficult matter to get the exact weight loaf in a waxed paper wrap per. "Bakers order waxed paper with printed labels in lots of 100,000 or more," he said, "and if the price of flour goes up he is in a fine pickle. It is necessary to reduce the size of the loaf in order to make a small profit, but his wrappers read differ ently." Misbranded Bread. Mr. Congdon said that bread labels reading "cream bread," "hickory nut bread," etc., must contain the ingredi ents mentioned or the bakers will be liable to prosecution. "We are not here to prosecute," he said, "but to bring such matters to the bakers' at tention. I know that 97 per cent of the Kansas bakers do not evade the laws in this respect." Congdon also spoke of dirty bake shops. His talk about them met with the approval of the bakers present. "These places must be cleaned." Congdon declared. Kansas bakeries have the reputation of being sanitary and only In a few rare instances have reports come in about unclean ones. A valuable feature of the conven tion was the "question box." Delegates put questions pertaining to their trade in this box and they were read aloud and answered by C. O Wernig of Kan sas Citv. Mo., an expert baker. Henry Toburen of Tonganoxie talked on "My Observations of Euro pean Baking." Mr. Toturen is a na tive of Germany and toiC of his ex periences in English and '?errraw bakeries on a European trip maoS last vear. Speaking of a comparison be- 1 r:, -.'X l 1 f. If It Ruins Hair to Wash It With Soap Soap should be used very sparing ly, if at all, if you want to keep your hair looking Its best. Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkali. This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and ruins it. The best thing for steady use is just ordinary mulsified cocoanut oil (which is pure and greaseless), and is better than soap or anything else you can use. One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply moisten the hair ivith water and rub it in. It makes an abundance of rich, creamy lather, which rinses out easily, removing every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive oil. The hair dries quickl and evenly, and it leaves the scalp soft, and the hair fine and silky, bright, lustrous, fluffy and easy to manage. You can get mulsified cocoanut oil at any pharmacy, it's very cheap, anJ a few ounces will supply every member of the family for months. Adv. V. H. Kientz of Topeka, Who Heads the Kansas Bakers the Knsuing Year. tween United States and German shops he said, "America has the largest ovens to feed man and Germany has the largest guns to k:ll man. Government Investigation. Another point brought up was re garding government inves-tigation of bakeries. The question raised was this; Why should the government in vestigate New York bakeries for rais ing the price of loaves one cent apiece and do nothing about the mills raising the price on flour? C. C. Wernig of Kansas City, in a brief talk, noted the fact that home made bread and bakery bread ars about even in statistics of home con sumption. "Where the bakers are pro gressive, as out here," ne said, "the per capita consumption of bakers' bread is increasing regularly." In speaking of best selling methods, Wernig said that "it pays to adver tise." W. H. Kientz of Topeka talked on "Bake Shop Leaks and Figuring Prof its." Mr. Kientz pointed out many er rors in bakery management and direc tions and how to remedy them. I.ast State Convention. This is the last state convention of the master bakers. Next June the Trans-Mississippi association will meet in Omaha and representatives from four states will hold sessions there. The Kansas bakers hope to bring the Trans-Mississippi bakers to Topeka the following year. Late Tuesday afternoon I. Van Me ter of Parsons made a talk on "Bene fits of Conventions and Co-operation." L P. Heil of Topeka led the discussion "For Better Bread." After a theater party last night candidates were In itiated in the "Salty Order of the Pret zel." After the banquet tonight the bakers will depart for their homes in all parts of Kansas. GOV. ST. JOHN HERE He Calls on Governor Capper and uiner state tjincmis. John P. St. John, former governor of Kansas, is visiting in Topeka today and was a guest in several offices in the state house. St. John recently completed a speaking engagement in Illinois. where he delivered ninety i speeches for the prohibition workers of that state. While in Topeka today, the former Kansas governor called on Governor Capper. St. John, who is a staunch advocate of national prohibition, stated that he expected to continue his fight against the liquor interests and believed that national prohibition would become a reality in a few years.

BREAKERS AHEAD S hil Campbell Sounds Alarm in Speech at Winfield. Declares Monroe Doctrine a Menace to the Country- WANTS OUR POLICY CHANGED Says Trouble Can Be Avoided j by Early Action. Neighboring Countries Resent the "Big Brother" Idea. Winfield, Kan., Sept. 15. Congress man Phil P. Campbell of the Third district, today took a free and healthy kick at the Monroe Doctrine in a speech before the old soldiers of Cow ley county. Campbell declared the In strument had been used to fit the policy of every national administra tion, broad or narrow, wise or foolish, until now it has become a menace to the peace and dignity of the nation. Instead of the Monroe Doctrine, Campbell wants a policy that will en able the United States to attend strictly to its own business and permit other nations to do the same. To drift longer under the present foreign policy, Campbell declared means trou ble that can be avoided by early ac tion. WlU-o-the-Wlsp Policy. "The question that must challenge our serious consideration now is the continuance of this foreign will-o-the-wisp policy which we call the Monroe Doctrine," Mr. Campbell said, "which is made to mean wnatever fits the whims or caprices or the ambitions of whoever happens to be president of the United States. "What our government should now do, and do at an early day, is to an nounce to the world that this govern ment will attend to its own affairs and permit other sovereign governments in this hemisphere as well as else where to attend to theirs; that it as sumes no sovereign responsibility be yond the confines of its borders," Mr. Campbell continued. The Latin-American nations resent the "big brother" aid of the United States, Mr. Campbell said. Resent "Big Brother" Aid. Mr. Campbell said in part: "Peace with honor is the ambition of all for our country. The number of our people is small who would have peace at any price, and they are few who would make war without a cause. Our future, in peace or war. depends upon a foreign policy that is wise; that is farsighted; that maintains our own honor and Integrity, and does not reflect upon the honor or integrity of any other government. "Our relations with foreign coun tries will from this on engage our most serious and intelligent attention. "Up to this time we have had no stable foreign policy and have admin istered our foreign affairs through of ficials appointed as partisans of the political party In power. And today, we have neither a stable foreign policy nor a continuing foreign office. "It is unsafe longer to drift In this fashion. There are breakers ahead that we can and must avoid."

'I told Lux he could make a test case of the matter," said the chief, "by swearing to a warrant for the arrest of the driver, but I further told him that the city would not as pume the burden of conducting the prosecution. "I also explained to him that To peka policemen would not be made the goat of the fair association that while the fair association would be doing busiress for or.ly three days more, Topeka policemen would be dealing with Topeka people for years to come, and that I would not have thm subjected to the abuse of these people for attsmpting to enforce the rules of the association. I take the position that it is the duty of a po lice department to maintain order and that to attempt to enforce the rules of a privale corporation is not the duty of a police department. "I have no desire to take a slap at the fyir management, but the fair management and not the police de partment, must bear the burden of whatever rules it attempts. "I also told Mr. Lux that I would instruct the policemen at the gates to stop any taxicabs or jitneys that attempted to enter and that the po liceman would explain to the drivers that -he rules of the fair association forbid their entering, but that I also would instruct the policemen to step aside, should the drivers attempt to force' their way in, and that the po licemen will do no clubbing, nor at tempt any force or make any arrests. They will merely take the name of the driver and the car number, and these will be turned over to the fair management, and that if the fair management wishes to prosecute it will have the privilege, and can do so by securing warrants for the offend ers, but the police department or the city will not take any part in the prosecutions."

"For the past several years," said Albert Hafford. residing at 1225 Kel lar street. Galena, Kan., eight miles from Joplin, Saturday afternoon, "I had been the victim of an aggravated case of catarrh that caused me a great deal of suffering and an almost endless amount of annoyance. At times it was difficult for me to per form my work. Frequent coughing spells had a tendency to make me weak and nervous," continued Mr. Hafford, who is well known in this city. "During the course of the trouble I resorted to the use of a number of medicines, but none of them afforded me the least bit of relief. Finally I heard about the wonderful work of this Tanlac in other cities and I ob tained me a bottle of the medicine. It did not require more than a half a dozen doses of Tanlac to convince me that it was superior to anything I had ever taken. I have taken the medicine conscientiously, with the result that I am now free of the malady that caused me so much suffering and in convenience. "Tanlac undoubtedly converted me into a new man. Now I go to work with renewed energy and take an in terest in everything. My appetite is irood, my head is cleared, my stomach feels strong and I have gained rapidly in strength. I have also gained several pounds .n weight. I feel convinced that no one will make a mistake if they take Tanlac, as it is a wonderful medicine Probably the most prevalent and distressing condition is chronic ca tarrh of the mucous membranes, such as Mr. Hafford evidently suffered from. Catarrh of the stomach and kidneys is the most frequent cause of dyspepsia and Bright's disease and catarrhal conditions in the nose and throat lead to inevitable deafness. Frequently the lungs become dis eased by an extension of a catarrhal Inflammation by way of the bran chial tubes to the lung substance. Consumption, or tuberculosis, is then not far off. An offensive breath, constant snif fling, discharges from the nose, drop pings in the throat, frequent sneezing, watery eyes, full head, headaches, de pression of spirits .nervousi.ess. un sound digestion, lost appetite, consti pation and susceptibility to coughs and colds, are characteristic symptoms of this almost universal malady.

Masses of documents and state department in formation are being gathered, it be came known today, for the Pan American conference on Mexican peace to be held in New York Satur day. With this information before them. observers of Mexican affairs expressed belief that the conferees would be able to form some new policy regarding Mexican pacification. Out and out recognition of Car ranza, it was regarded today, contrary to earlier predictions, probably would not be recommended by the confer ence as a whole, the view being that the question is one for each nation to decide for itself, with the United States, taking the lead. There was ground for belief, however, that the conference would accept Carranza's invitation for a committee to meet him at the boundary to discuss Mexican international affairs.

Several weeks ago attorneys ap peared before the governor and asked for a parole for Buck. The applica tion was opposed by Kiowa county of ficials. A further hearing of the case will be held September 20. Fearing thp.t clemency might be shown Buck, the county commissioners of Kiowa county took official action in urging the governor to deny a parole.

Robblna, ''is known to us by the results we obtain from its use. If we are able to con trol pain and disease by means of any pre paration, we certainly are warranted In its use. One of the principal symptoms of all diseases Is pain, and this Is what the patient most often applies to us for, 1. e. something to relieve his pain. If we can arrest this promptly, the patient Is most liable to trust in us for the other remedies which will effect a permanent cure. One remedy which I have used largely In my practice Is Anti kamnla Tablets. Many and varied are ttielr uses. I have put them to the test on macy occasions, and have never been disappoint ed. I found them especially valuable for headaches of malarial origin, where quinine was being taken. They appear to prevent the bad after-effects of the Quinine. Antl kamnla Tablets are also excellent for tfae headaches from Improper digestion; also for headaches of a neuralglo origin, and es pecially tor women subject to pains at certain times. Two Antl-kamnla Tablets give prompt relief, and In a short, time thepatient Is able to go about as usual." These tablets maybe obtained at all druggists. Ask for A-K Tablets. They are also unexcelled for headaches, neuralgia and all pains.

Here i Is a good test worth trying. First weigh yourself and measure yourself. Then take Sargol one tablet with every meal for two weeks. Then weigh and measure again. It Isn't a question of how you look or feel or what your friends say and think. The scales aud the tape meas ure will tell their own story, and many thin men and women we believe can easily add from five to eight pouuds in the first fourteen days by following this simple direction. And best of all, the new flesh stays put. Sargol does not of itself make fat, but mixing with your food, it aims to turn the fats, sugars and starches of what you have eaten, into rich, ripe fat producing nourishment for the tissues and blood prepare it in an easily assimilated form which the blood can really accept. Much of this nourishment now passes from your body as waste. But Sargol works to stop the waste and do it quickly and to make the fat producing contents of the very same meals you are eating now develop pounds and pounds of healthy flesh be tween your skdn and bones. Sargol is safe, pleasant, "efficient and Inexpensive.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL WEDNESDAY VETOING. SEPTEMBER 15,1915. 7 SNAP SHOTS A.T HOME NEW1 And the outlook for better fair weather is brightening. The local weather bureau is predictiDR more rain and glooming cli matic conditions. The S. and D. of J. gave their opening dance Tuesday night at the Moose hall. No business session was held, the meeting being open to everybody. Junction City sent a large delegation to Topeka for the big free fair. Many parties were planning to come down later in the week in automobiles but on account of the weather it may be necessary to call otf the trip. A suit for room rent Is now pending in Judge Kemper's small debtors' court. If the case can not be settled otherwise Judge Kemper intends to issue a garnishment. He claims the right to do so under the law governing his court. A new boiler and an engine will be in stalled at the state heating plant and the old -boilers will be repaired for the winter. -The work-will begin Monday and will oc cupy about three-weeks. Purmg this time the "state house will be lighted by the Edison company. The elevators will be closed down until the work is completed. A charter was issued to the Topeka Na tional Live Stock Insurance company Tuesdav. The new company will insure stock against accident, theft or death from any cause. Five of the seven incorporators are Topeka men. -The company is cap italized at $100,000. The directors are J. H. White. Kansas City. Mo.: M. A. Isaacs, .Tames Hums. N. Coover. of Topeka. and Hoe. of Kansas City, Mo. They also are stockholders, and the other two holders of stock in the company are K. S. iray and iius Knox, of Topeka. White and Isaacs hold 940 of the 1.000 shares. Students of the Topeka high school are to be credited in their course of study for what thev know about the I'.ible. The fac ulty committee of the high school today mailed letters to the various ministers of the citv reminding them of the offer the school makes and urging them to increase the number of students taking Hible courses. Miss Laura Ewing is chairman, and Miss Abigail McElroy and Frank W. Harrison are members of the committee. The plan is to give high school credit for Bible study work done in the churches and Sundav schools under the direction of teachers approved by the Topeka training school for Sunday school teachers. a. lTmcnair here Superintendent of Fair Grounds 28 Years Ago, Still a Booster. A. L. ileNair of Arkansas City, who has not missed a fair in Topeka for thirty years, is in Topeka today at -tending the exposition. Mr. McNair rrotored to this city. On the trip he did rot miss a chance, to boost for the free fair and carried a huge banner on his car during the entire trip. The Arkansas City man has the dis tinction of being superintendent of the old Topeka grounds twenty-eight years ago. At numerous times he has been connected with the Topeka fair as an official. NO PARSONS ORDER Anti-Jitney Order Issued by Fair Board and Not by Chief of Police. upon the shoulders of the chief of police. The facts are that Chief Parsons has ordered his special officers to the fair grounds to preserve peace, prevent gambling and booze selling and act under the instructions of the fair board as mar as transportation facili ties are concerned. HANG OUT SHINGLES Thompson and Robertson Open Iaw Office in Kansas City. It has developed today that the order prohibiting jitney drivers from entering the fair grounds and from unloading passengers at certain points near the fair grounds entrance, was issued by the managers of the state fair association and not by Chief of Police Parsons. Considerable complaint has been registered by the jitney operators owing to this ban and apparently the blame has been forced innocently The law firm recently formed by Fred Robertson, United States district attorney, and William H. Thompson, United States senator, this week open ed offices in Kansas City, Kan. Sena tor Thompson has said goodbye to his old home in Garden City, while Rob ertson has removed his family to the mouth of the Kaw and the district at torney's office has been taken from Topeka. According-to gossip in political cir cles, Senator Thompson will make his home permanently in Kansas City, This change will give him a residence in a more densely populated section of the state and improve his strategic position in the fight for re-election to the senate in 1918. By removing the district attorney's office tc Kansas City, Robertson will be able to par ticipate in the affairs of the firm. Then, should Thompson be beaten for a re-election, the two men will have probably established a profitable pri vate law practice to which they may turn their attention in private life. The Robertson family removed to Kansas City last week. Senator Thompson has this week changed his address to Wyandotte county and of fices of the new legal firm are now opened for business.

It does not take an expert to dis cover that the swine exhibit at the big free fair is unusual. The layman who never sees a hog more than once in every six months can see for himself without taking: the word of W. J. Cody of Topeka, the superintendent, that the swine exhibit has quantity and quality. The six hog: sheds and one large tent with 100 extra pens are needed to house the 800 head and every avail able pen is being used as the home of the best "porkers" from Kansas, Mis souri, Iowa, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Michigan and Virginia farms.

Information Gladly Given THE CAPITOL BUILDING LOAN ASSOCIATION 534 Kansas Avenue AT ONCE the southwest. Ten carloads of hogs came direct to the Topeka fair from the Minnesota fair, which is only one indication of the great interest mani fested in the big free fair by foreign breeders. Kansas farmers view some of the finest breeds of Poland Chinas, Duroc Jerseys, O. I. C.'s, Tamworths, Berk shires and Hampshires when they take a look at the swine exhibit. A herd of Poland Chinas from the Willey farm in Nebraska made sen sational winnings at all the big fairs last year. This is one of the best shows herds in the southwest and is expected to take a number of pre miums here. Thomas Kent of Wal nut, Iowa, has a herd of noted Chester Whites on exhibition. Kent is one of the biggest breeders of Chester Whites in the United States, having more than 700 head on his farm in Iowa. He made a wonderful showing with his show herd at the International Stock show in Chicago last year. I.rd Hogs Predominate. There are more "lard" hogs Po land Chinas, Durocs, O. I. C.'s and Berkshires in the exhibit than bacon hogs Tamworths and Hampshires. A herd of Durocs that is expected to win a number of prizes is the one from the Longview farm. Lee's Summit, Mo. This herd is owned by the mil lionaire lumberman of Kansas City, who has the sensational herd of Jer seys in the dairy barns. H. C. Crandall of Cass City, Mich., has an excellent herd of Chester Whites that will be moved direct to San Francisco from Topeka. A. E. Sisco of Topeka has a number of prize winning Durocs in the exhibit. F. L. Crow of Hutchinson also has several "classy" Durocs here. One woman, going through the swine sheds this morning, saw a large white hog leisurely rolling along on the grass, and exclaimed to her friend: "Oh, look at that blonde pig." This brought the laughs from several stockmen who overheard the remark. "For quality I do not believe there was ever such an exhibit as this in the southwest," said W. J. Cody this morn ing. "We were particularly fortunate this year in getting the northern show heids because the Topeka fair gives the breeders a chance to get their herds to the big show that will be held in San Francisco next month. It has been a difficult matter to get room enough for the hogs that have been shipped here. I tell you it is a great exhibit." A Guarantee of Purity, Cleanliness and Wholesome ness.

Not only does the bee produce goods in the shape of honey and wax that have a most remunerative market value, bUt he is otherwise a handy little helper on a farm. As a polli nator, he is in a class by himself, and he doesn't only work out on fruit blos soms and thereby turn poor yielding orchards into profitable ones. He is just as active in pollinating cucum ber, clover and even buckwheat blos soms. He helps himself to all these blossoms, but he doesn't forget to leave a fee in the way of fertilizing 7"7L H3S become the one Car of unquestioned pre- jf 16 VCLullLCLC eminence, irrespective of price.

There's a whole lot of prejudice against bees, it is true. Their stingers occasion some of it. But bees are said to be most tractable when properly handled, and as a rule they are said to mind their own business much bet ter than poultry or other farm stock when left to themselves. So if you don't ncedlessjy annoy the bee, the chances are that he will keep his stinger sheathed even if you get into close quarters with him. His predilec tion for swarming is also looked upon ss a nuisance by many, but this can be reduced to a minitfium also with proper handling. Five Exhibitors. All these things, and many more you can learn about the bee at the fair Apiary, which is in charge of J. W. Priddy, its superintendent, and which is located in one of the corners of the agricultural hall. There, five exhibitors and premium hunters have their bees or their honey, in some cases both, on display. They are C. C. Caley, of Cozad, Nebraska; A. V. Small of St. Joseph, Mo.; George Pratt of Wakarusa. and W. A. Dunham and O. A. Keene of Topeka. And there are no less than twenty seven classes, or' "rings" as the bee men call them in which premiums are awarded. In eleven of these there are first, second and third premiums, and in the other sixteen but two, first and second. The first premuims range in value from J8 to $S and $3, with the seconds and thirds in the usual fair premium proportions. And the pre miums are awarded for the best honey in the comb and strained, and of dif ferent varieties; for the best wax, for the best frames of bees, and even for the best queens boxed and ready for shipment. And her majesty the Queen Bee has the unique distinction of be ing the only live thing that Uncle Sam permits to go through his mails. Nor are all Queen Bees alike, by any means, as some of the uninitiated might suppose. There are many va rieties, including the Golden, the Cau cassian, the Camiolian. the Three banded Italian and the Five-banded Italian. Premiums Not Encouraging. Superintendent Priddy explains that the bee and honey exhibit is not as large as it might have been, if the fair managers could have seen their way clear to allot it more money for premiums.
