What was probably the largest crowd in the history of Kansas fairs surged through the gates of the fair grounds today. At 1 o'clock it was officially estimated by a state fair of ficials that there were between thirty and thirty-five thousand persons on the grounds viewing the exhibits which aggregate in value around two million dollars. There was scarcely standing room in the big pavillions and halls. Down the main street" running north and south from the gates to the grand stand it wan a Tin oi- .1 surging body of humanity. Superinte-5ents of building were taxed to. their ut most to avoid jams in the buildings. At noon today the grounds were a network of straw trails. Straw wood shavings and everything that will serve the purpose has been strung over the walks. That RIoomin' Jinx. Fighting th- jinx that has hung over the grounds like a pall for the greater part of this week, the mam moth Free Fair of Topeka opened the doors to exhibits ard displays for the fourth day this morning with special trains from all parts of the state pouring thousands of visitor" into tlie city. About 100.000 persons have seen the great exposition in the last three days and a half seen it in the rain and vouch for all contentions made that the fair is the V-iggest ever held in the southwest Th-.s morning the crowds again began to fill the grounds despite the driz zling showers.

The Case Will Be Taken to Courts hy the Warden. MAY ENJOIN HIS SUCCESSOR Stay at Prison and Force Quo Warranto Proceeding. Board of Corrections Held for Part of Blame. Removal of J. D. Botkin as warden of the state penitentiary was recom mended to Governor Capper at 3 o'clock this afternoon by a special commission which heard the testimony in the case against the Democratic warden. The commission was unan imnt in its findings, which exoner ate Botkin on but three of the four teen charges against nis recoru. atrT- 1 M. Mahin. of Botkin s counsel, is in Topeka today and stated that an effort would be made to re tain Botkin in office and that the case would be carried to the courts. It is nossible that injunction proceedings against the appointment of a successor may be filed. In event this course is not pursued, Botkin will seek to re main at the prison and force the state to bring quo warranto proceedings for his- removal. All of the charges against Botkin s record are reviewed in the findings of the commission. Nearly twenty type written page3 re in the report to Gov ernor Capper. Asked concerning Botkin's succes sor. Governor Capper late today stated that no action would be taken tor a day or two. In political circles it has been understood that the place will be offered either to J. K. Codding, former warden; or to Prof. W. H. Blackmar of Kansas University. The governor stated that he did not ex pect to go outside the state in search of a warden. Part of the criticism directed against Botkin for his alleged mis management of the penitentiary, is placed on the shoulders of the board of corrections which had supervision of the institution. More careful at tention to statutory provisions in se lection of employees by the board is recommended. The Prison. Mine. In its recommendations to the gov ernor, the commission points out that the prison mine has been worked but half of its full capacity and recom mends that more men be used in mine work.. Use of the prisoners' funds by offi cers of the prison both during and preceding the Botkin administration is criticised. It is urged that the state provide a fund from which the warden may draw for current expenses and that the funds of the prisoners be kept intact. Temporary paroles, shown to have been granted during recent years, should be discontinued and the prac tice abolished, the board says. Methods of bookkeeping at the prison are also unsatisfactory. The commission urges a complete change in this system. Botkin's use of the entertainment fund is criticised only in a general way. The present practice of allow ing $1,000 a year for entertainment purposes is not approved. The leg islature is asked to abolish this appro priation. It is recommended that the prison board immediately adopt a policy per mitting the suspension of prison em ployees without pay- Under this provision, the board recommends that no discharges be permitted without approval of the official board! The board does not make findings regarding the discharge of B. D. Jones, a former employee, who filed charges against Botkin. The matter is now in the courts and the commis sion leaves the dispute to the court for final settlement. It is reported by the commission that the general management of the I 1 i .-1 V, H institution JH IIUL me ucai the standard of efficiency could and should be improved. The Lone Wolf Deal. Regarding the loan by Botkin from Lone Wolf, an Indian, the commission makes lengthy findings. It concludes: "The transaction with Lone Wolf was not only illegal, but was indefensible as a matter of morality and policy. The law was also violated by the fail ure to make a record of the receipt and disbursement of money coming to Lone Wolf from the government. It is found by the commission that Botkin was a party to the patent right contract with a prisoner named AlcGinnis. In reaching tnis conclu sion, the commission quotes extracts from the testimony ot several wit nesses. Criticism of Botkin's official con duct is also based on his connection with the escape of J. B. Gifford and the refusal of Wayne K. Stalnaker, another convict, to return to prison after he had been given a temporary parole. Use of prisoners as seivants of offi cers and employees is criticised. "That this custom was prevalent during the administrations of his prede ssors may mitigate, but cannot excuse the violation of the law," says, tire com mission. Then the commission takes fc. rap at the prison board and exonerates Botkin on three charges. "It is perhaps, outside the province of this committee to go beyond the warden in locating responsibility for existing conditions." says the report. "However, we are impelled to say that a large measure of this responsibility rests with the board of corrections.

PRO-GERMAN FINANCIERS OUT Foreign Commissioners Pre pare Five Per Cent Interest. Visitors Crystallize Program, With Cash in Sight. New Tork, Sept. 16. Standard Oil millionaires, including John D. Rock efeller, jr., it was reported today, are considering the terms of the proposed billion-dollar credit loan to Great Britain and France with a view to participating. Members of the Anglo-French financial commission and American bankers working for the success of the proposed loan have somewhat definite ideas, it became known today, as to some of the terms governing the loan, chief of which is reported to be the rate of interest. The commission is reported to be lieve the maximum rate should be five per cent. Many American bank ers believe the mammoth issue should yield at least five and one-half per cent, while there is some talk of requiring six per cent. A five per cent loan the commission is reported as having said should be sold at par or a shade under. Some financiers here are said to doubt whether the American public would subscribe to a straight five per cent loan without collateral, at more than 95, if that. This view, however, is not held by all the American bankers. The way of the commissioners in agreeing to pay more than five per cent interest, if they were inclined so to do, would be beset with obstacles (Continued on Page 4.) ANARGHYL00SED Rioters and Looters in Posses sion of Nogales, Mex. Yillistas and Carranzistas in Battle at Border. Xogales. Ariz., Sept. 1 6. Anarchy has broken out in Nogales, Mex., across the border from here, follow ing tile departure of most of the Vil lista garrison today to meet Carran zistas coming to attack the city. Rioters took possession and looted stores. The small force of Yaqui In dians left behind arrested thirty-five of the looters, but were forced to re tire to their camp, leaving the mob in partial possession of the city. A Chinaman resisted the looters and was beaten to death. So far as is known on the American side, this was the only casualty. Artillery firing could be heard here, indicating that the battle between Villistas and I'arranzisas lias opened about five miles from the border.

Newman Krb, wealthy financier and railroad reor ganizes who swallowed two poison tablets by mistake, is today confined to his summer home at Deal, N. J., calmly awaiting the outcome of the ef forts being made by three specialists to save his life. He spent a comfort able night; is virtually free from pain and is wholly conscious. The physi cians hope that the prompt rejection of the poison by the stomach and the first aid rendered by Mr. Erb's valet prevented all but a small amount of the poison from entering the finan cier's system. In the meantime every possible ef fort is being made to counteract the effect of any poison that may be in his system. The operation of scraping the kidneys which has often proved suc cessful in similar cases of poisoning will not be resorted to in this case, it was said, on account of Mr. Erb's age 65 years. Mr. Erb's daughters. Mrs. Irving M. Ditter.hoefer and Mrs. Jesse Mayer, and their husbands are with Mr. Erb constantly. Mr. Erb's family today explained how he came to take the poison. He was returning to Deal from New York, having spent the previous day and night in Philadelphia. In his travel ing bag he carried a bottle of head ache tablets and another containing poison tablets, which he used in mak ing a wash for an injured foot. Mr. Erb had a headache when he boarded the train and took two tablets from one of the bottles A shcrt time later he was taken ill. SUN SHINES AGAIN Barometer Is Rising- and Rain Is Over ot Topekak. Topeka has an excellent chance for some good weather after all. The weather bureau holds out hope now that at least the last part of fair week will be propitious for the business of the fair association.

The premier also conferred with the military and civil authorities of Petrograd and Moscow with regard to forestalling popular demonstrations'. Differences of opinion between the cabinet and the duma have been clear ly defined since the formation early this month of a majority in the duma of liberal and progressive elements. The new mapority put forward a. pro gram of important reforms and it was reported that the cabinet might re sign. Premier Goremykin went to the field headquarters of Emperor Nich olas to discuss the situation and on his return to Petrograd it was said the government regarded the progam of the liberals as untimely.

Official Seeks to Minimize Gravity of Situation. FRIENDSHIP NOTJN DANGER Carl W. Ackerman Get Reassur ing Expression. Statement Gives "Washington Hope of Disavowal. BY CARL W. ACKERMAN'. Vienna, Sept. 13. (By courier to Berlin, thence by way of The Hague, Sept. 16.) "Austria has not Inter fered and will not interfere with in ternal affairs in America. We are too busy with European affairs to bother with strikes in the United States. But, whatever our inquiries show, we shall consider the request for Ambassador Dumba's recall purely personal. It will not disturb friendly relations be tween the two countries." This statement was made to me today by a foreign office official one of those who has determined the pol icies of the monarchy. He said he would be glad if the statement went to America as explanatory of Austria's attitude. Austrians Taken by Surprise. Whether a successor will be named at Washington and how soon such an appointment may be made has not been determined. The foreign office apparently has not yet recovered from the first feeling of surprise. Dumba was regarded highly here and officials believed he stood extremely well in Washington. "We are awaiting Ambassador Dumba's report," continued the for eign office official. "Until we hear from him we shall take no steps. Be fore judging the case we must have our own representative's report. We hope and firmly believe that the whole situation will be adjusted without the least interference with cordial rela tions now existing between tho two countries. In view of his statement that the request for the recall of Dumba was "purely personal, the official was asked if the question involved did not also concern the attitude of the Aus trian government toward the instigat ing of strikes In America. Too Busy at Home. "We have too much to think about on this side of the ocean without un dertaking to direct affairs on the oth er side," was the emphatic reply. "Just now we are awaiting a report from Ambassador Dumba," he said. "There is no quick way of communi cation except the limited use of wire less to Berlin. It is possible we may be forced to await a report by mall. The one thing that may be said, how ever, is that your Ambassador Pen field dispatched a delicate duty with the greatest tact." The greatest reticence has been ob served here about the Dumba affair. The official quoted above is the only one who would talk, explaining that officials heretofore have been disin clined to talk because the government had not been fully informed of tha request for Ambassador Dumba s re call. Though the foreign office official in praising Ambassador penneia ror having "dispatched a delicate duty with the greatest tact," merely indi cated that the note requesting Dum ba's recall has been delivered, Penfield himself refused to make any state ment today about the note's arrival or delivery. He said he acted only a messenger of the state depart ment in this instance and believed It proper for any statement to come from the foreign office. Washington Takes Hope. Washington, Sept. 16. The admin istration's hope for a disavowal of Austrian Ambassador Dumba's pro posal to foment strikes among Aus trians in American munition factories were raised today by the United Press dispatch from Correspondent Carl W. Ackerman, saying the Austrian gov ernment will not interfere with America's internal affairs. Officials have been confident that, in addition to recalling Dumba the Aus trian government, after a clear un derstanding of his offense, would as sure the United States that it has no sympathy with his plans.

JITNEYS MAYGO IN Topeka Gasoline Carriers Win Fight With Fair Managers. Can Enter the Fair Grounds on Main Roadway. Jitneys may enter the fair ground to take on or unload passengers. The trouble between the manage ment of Topeka's big free fair and the local Jitney drivers over entering the fair grounds was ironed out this morning by Judge George H. Whit comb in the second division of tha district court. Judge Whltcomb de cided that the Jitney drivers could en ter the grounds at the main entrance. Seventeenth street and Topeka avenue. and follow the main road west to th eit gate at Seventeenth street and Western avenue. He also decided that they could take on and unload passen gers in the grounds provided they did not make any unnecessary delay in traffic. Judge Whitcomb's decision is tha result of a petition filed in court thin morning by Samuel E. Lux, general manager of the fair association, ask ing that the Jitneys be enjoined from entering the fair grounds. Mr. Lux. L. M. Penwell and Sad Hodgins, with their lawyers appeared before Judga Whitcomb in person to ask that the Jitneys be kept out of the fair grounds. In the petition to- the court the fair management stated that the Jitney people had refused to obey the rulen that the management had laid down in regard to traffic and that the Jit neys were an annoyance to the visit ors who wanted to see the exhibits and that the people on the grounds wera in great danger of life and limb be cause the Jitneys went into tha grounds.

Oats Close to Sew Mark, With 1,408,000,000 Bushels. Washington, Sept. 16. Material trains in the prospects of the bumper cereal crops are disclosed in the de partment of agriculture's monthly crop estimates published today. The department says: "General crop prospects on Septem ber 1 in the United States were favor able, being somewhat above average. The corn crop improved slightly dur ing August, especially in Nebraska, Kansas and Missouri. It went back in condition in northernmost states m' in the important states of Illinois and Iowa. "The forecast of total production, 2, 985,000,000 bushels is 67,000,000 more than forecast a month ago and 312. 000.000 bushels more than the final estimate of last year. The quantity forecast at present has been exceeded in but one year, namely, 1912, when the estimate was 3,12 5.000,000 bushels. "The. spring wheat prospects im proved materially during August, the forecast on September 1 being 322, 000.000 bushels, which is 15,000,000 more than the August 1 forecast and 118,000.000 bushels more than the final estimate of last year. "Applying the present forecast fit spring wheat to the estimate made last month in winter wheat production makes a total production of wheat in dicated of 381,000,000 bushels, by far the largest amount ever produced in the ITnited States, comparing witn 891,000,000 bushels last year itself a record and 686,000,000, the average of the last five years. "The oats forecast for September t, namely, 1,408,000.000, was slightly higher than the August forecast, and is close to the record crop of 1,418, 000.000 bushels estimated in 1912. Prospects are most favorable in the most northern states of Wisconsin, Minnesota and North Dakota, where conditions are above normal. A yeai ago the crop was estimated at 1,141, 000,000 bushels."

The co operation of physicians in the various counties of the state has been asked to this end. Particular attention will be paid to what are known as "occupational dis eases" and attempts will be made to eliminate these as far as possible. At tempts will be made to trace the source of the disease in indivdual cases and reports containing the col or, age, sex, previous condition of health and time employed in the in dustry will be obtained.

"I would rather cut off my right arm than be the author of a song that holds my country up to ridicule.

The grand jury here today began an investigation into the activities of an arson syndi cate. eight alleged members of which already have been arrested. In the words of the circuit attorney, "there is no telling how many more arrests may follow." Evidence of the writing of insur ance far in excess of the value of the property, of the firing of this over- insured property by human "torches and of the disposition of the insur ance money between owners of the property, active incendiary and insurance men will be presented to the jury. The men sirrested are four 'torches,'" one insurance agent, an in surance adjuster, the vice president of a large insurance agency and the president of a decorating company whose building recently was destroyed by fire. While the jury investigation will be gin with the fire at the Gilmore-Bon- fig Decorating company s establish ment, police and representatives of the insurance companies which have suffered through the operations of the arson gang believe the eight prisoners under investigation may be connected with other mysterious fires of recent years. The Insurance companies claim they have paid out more than $1,000,000 on fires, which bore evidence of in cendiary origin, while the police de partment expresses the belief that the profits of the arson gang have run into several million dollars the last five years.

(TIGERS BOSTON Crucial ISeries in American League Race Begins Today. Both lied Sox and Phillies Lost Games Wednesday. .Vew York. Sept. 16. The Boston Red Sox and the Detroit Tigers begin their final series of the season at Bos ton today -with the Red Sox leading by two and a half games, the Timers having cut down Boston's advantage Wednesday by winning their fourth straight from New York, while Boston dropped their only game of the series to Chicago. In the National League, Brooklyn, although not playing, went into sec ond place again while Boston and Philadelphia each lost. The Phillies lead Brooklyn now by considerably more than four games with the Braves about half a game behind the Su perbas. i The outcome of the four-day series at Boston, beginning today, will be watched with much interest, but al though the result virtually may dis pose of Detroit as a pennant contender or may put the Tigers in the lead, there are many who believe the race may not definitely be decided until the last few days of the season. The Red Sox took a majority of the games from the Tigers in their last series at De troit. They meet the Tigers this time on their home grounds with a decided advantage in the standing. The Red Sox have what is generally considered an excellent pitching staff, while the Tigers are weak in this respect. For these reasons many consider the Red Sox a strong favorite. The Philadelphia Nationals, who broke a winning streak Wednesday by losing to Pittsburg, go to Cincin nati today for a short series with Herzog's Reds who have been going strong recently and are trying to ob tain a berth in the first division, while Brooklyn engages the Chicago Cubs and the Braves play St. Louis.

The football season at Washburn college is getting under way with great rapidity. Wednesday affternoon Athletic Director Gray and Student Manager Joe Haynes were busy dis tributing suits to the prospective can didates for the team, and about twenty suits were given out. Elmer Bearg, former full and half back and all-Kansas man, who will not be eligible for Missouri valley games but who may play in Kansas Conference games, was the first man to get a suit. Bearg is in good condi tion, and hopes to get a chance to play in several games. Actual practice was scheduled to begin this afternoon and Coach Gray said he expected thirty or thirty-five men to report on the field. The first few days will be devoted mainly to instruction and passing the ball. Field in Shape. The field has been cleared of its summer weed crop and will soon be in tip-top shape. The first game on the schedule will be played Saturday, October 2, with Cooper college, al though a freshman-varsity game will be arranged just as soon as the two teams can be lined up and given a few days practice. Coach Gray and Captain Beals both agree that it is going to take hard work and brilliant playing to make the season anything like a success. A few of the veterans of last season, in cluding Beals, Don Billings, Sam Stewart, Carl Linge, Art' Champeny, Gene Villipigue, W. C. Janney and Joe McCosh, will be back, but the re mainder of the team will be made up mostly of new material that has never been initiated to the kind of football the Ichabods will be called upon to play before the season is over. However, there is little fear from Kansas Conference rivals, and with the excepion of Bill Hargess" Emporia Normals, the Ichabods should walk through the conference with ease. The Teachers will have a strong team, and under Hargess' directions, most of the critics believe they will center their ambition on the Washburn game and will make a worthy fight fo.r victory. The three games with the Missouri valley teams are the ones that Wash burn followers are most interested in, however, and they are the con tests that will demand almost super human endurance to keep the blue and white from going down in de feat. Nebraska the Hardest. The Nebraska game comes later in the season this year than ever be fore, being scheduled for October 16, and in as much as the Huskers are conceded to have a team that should make a strong bid fcr all-Western honors, Washburn is certain to jour ney to Lincoln with the edds greatly against her. The easiast of the three M. V. games ought to be with the Manhat tan Aggies- The Aggies will be handicapped with light men, and many new ones, and with a new coach and a new order of things in the process of being established, they ought not to have anything in par ticular on Gray's warriors. The Ag gie game will be played in Topeka November 12. K. XJ. Uncertain. Like the Aggies, K. U. also has a new gridiron director whose mettle has never been tried in these parts and the Jayhawkers have many green men who will have to be sea soned into veterans, but the Law rence line" will likely be heavy enough to offset many of the other disadvantages. The K. U Washburn game will be played at Lawrence No vember 6. Among the new men who are ex pected to make a place on the Wash burn team are Rice, Kessler. Wil moth, Logan, Muirhead, Newell and possibly Major Harvey. Two promising men who have en tered sciiool and who will be on the freshman squad are Frank Miles, a 19 fa-pound man from Fairview, -Kan., and Parrish, an ex-Missouri univer sity student, from Belleville, Kan. TOPEKAN BOOSTED AT K. TT. Holt, Former High School Star, Out for Jayhawker Eleven. Lawrence, Kan., Sept. 16. The University of Kansas is going to have a "second" football team this season for the first time in years, according to Coach "Jack" Olcott, the new Jay hawker football pilot.' Kansas has not had a second team in recent years. One reason has been that it usually was hard to get enough men out for the varsity and freshmen squads, without bothering with any other organization. Another was that the Crimson and Blue, along with most of the other Missouri Valley teams, has used its freshmen squad as the daily opponent for. the varsity in practice. Coach Olcott has no idea of abolish ing the freshman team or keeping it from scrimmaging with the varsity. But he believes that it will be of vast benefit to the 1915 Jayhawker pros pects to have two teams where rival candidates for a varsity position can be pitted gainst each other and given a chance to show their worth against each other. Olcott is fortunate his first year in having more than half a dozen of the most promising freshmen that ever hit Lawrence. At the opening prac tice there were Holt, Fast, Reedy, Frost and the two Gillispie brothers, all stars on Coach McCarty's tyro squad in 1914. Holt is a former To peka high school star, while Fast play ed with Baker two years ago and made the All Kansas collegiate eleven that year as halfback. With Bill Gray gone, the former Bakerite will have a good chance to step into a varsity position this fall. GERMAN LEADS TRAP MEN. Leavenworth Man Tied For Second Place at Atlantic City Shoot. Atlantic City, N. J., Sept- 16 Les ter S German, the Aberdeen, Md., professional broke 175 targets straight and led the field at the end of the second day s shoot of the Wssty Hogan here Wednesday. Wool folk Henderson of Lexington, Ky., with 1 74 breaks, was secend and high gun of the amateurs. German has an unfinished run of 197 straight for the two days and Henderson has broken 125 straight. J. M. Hawkins and German led the field in the Westy Hogan introduc tory at 75 targets. In this event George K. Mackie, Leavenworth, Kan-, with a score of 73 breaks, was tied with six other entrants for sec ond place. FIGHT ATCHICAGO Umpire and Braves' Third Sacker Come to Blows. The Ex-Champions Could Not Hit Phil Douglass. Chicago, 111., Sept. 16 A fist fight between Umpire Byrcn and "Red" Smith, third baseman of the Boston Braves, marked the final game of the year between Chicago and Boston- Chicago won, 1 to 0. At the conclusion of the game, Smith rushed up to Byron and the arbiter walked toward him. They exchanged words p.nd Byron dodged around several of thoso who had gathered about the two and made a lunge at Smith. He apparently made two swings at him and was rushing his man when Big Bill James, the Boston pitcher, put his arms around the umpire and lift ed him to one side. Smith came back with his arms swinging wildly and Umpire Orth attempted to stop him. Smith was infuriated and seemed about to hit Orth, when his teammates stepped into the fray and escorted Smith to the clubhouse. The umpire then walked to his dressing room. Several hundred fans who witnessed the clash cheered Byron. Umpire Byron refused to comment on the battle, merely stating that he would make his report to the presi dent of the league. However, several of those who were close to the par ticipants said that Smith was "rid ing" Byror. because of his decision on balls and strikes and that the two m-?n had engaged in strong person alities prior to their coming together. News of President Tener"s decision on the arbiter's report is eagerly awaited about baseball headauarters here. The Braves have a figl-ting chance for the National league pennant and already have three of their regulars ou.. of the lineup. Thes-.e are Schmidt, Maranville and Snodgrass- Incidentally the game was won by Frank Schulte. who drove a liner over the screen in rightfield, the only run of the game- This tally, coupled with the masterly pitching of Phil Douglass, who pitched his first game for the locals since coming here from the Brooklyn club, was enough to win. Douglass allowed but three scattered hits. .BANQUET FOR BALL PLAYERS.. Simpson Fans Give Big Feed to Their Diamond Heroes. Simpson, Kan., Sept. 16. Just to show the Simpson ball team how- they were appreciated by the local business men and citizens a smoker was given them at the Simpson cafe at which forty-five plates were laid. Music, speaking, lunch and cigars were on the menu. Frank D. Lyon acted as toastmaster and toast were given by numerous members of the Commercial club as well as the ball players. The music was furnished by the baseball Wind shield orchestra and a Grafanola. Simpson has the best independent ball team in Kansas, a fact the whole community is proud of, having won twenty out of twenty-two games. (Additional Sport on Last Page.) X EW WORLD'S PACING RECORD.

FULL LEASED WIRE REPORT OP THE ASSOCIATED PRESS. The State Journal is a member of the Associated press and receives the full day telegraph report of that great news or ganization, for the exclusive afternoon publication in Topeka. The news Is received in The State Jour nal building over wires for this sole pur pose. MEMBER: Associated Press. Audit Bureau of Circulations. American Newspaper Publishers' Association. Greenwood county, Kansas, more or less famous for the newspaper men it has produced, now gets Into the ag ricultural limelight with Charley, the biggest steer in the world; and, of course, Charley is on exhibition at To peka's great free fair. Charley tips the beams at 4,180 pounds, and be isn't a bit fat. The weight that Char ley might attain, were he permitted to eat his fill of the blue stem grass, for which Greenwood county is also fa mous, is one of those problematical matters beyond the realms of proph ecy. Talk of probable harmony between the factions of the Republican party '.n Kansas sounds good, but real har mony in any brand of Kansas politics is such a rare bird as to belong almost to an extinct species. And besides, too much harmony isn't a good thing In politics. When it prevails, its prac titioners become careless, and the peo ple who depend upon them to conduct public affairs are likely to suffer more than usual. Getting together in poli-. tics is too often done merely to make lure of getting the offices. Portugal seems to be edging rap Idly into Mexico's class. Still another revolutionary movement is under way there. Portugal has had more or less trouble for a long time, but she seems to have had even more of it since she pried her king from his job. Sarah Bernhardt denies the allega tion that she is unable to act on her wooden leg. Possibly the story to this effect was merely a yarn of her press agent to obtain a little more publicity for her forthcoming and 'steenth fare well tour of America. What a lot of wooden-heads the newspayers are to fall for such stuff? Evidently the Kansas cattlemen who are surprised at the cheapness of beef don't buy much of it in the butcher shops. But the Kansas cattlemen are talkirg, of course, about beef on the hoof. Between beef on the. hoof and beefsteak on the platter there is a dif ference in price that runs all the way from 15 to 20 cents a pound. It is true, though, that it isn't compulsory for any one to mingle with beefsteak. There are cheaper cuts. Dr. Dumba should be peeved, hut only at himself. The place in the di plomatic world into which he has stepped is certainly an undesirable one. No matter what week Topeka selects for her annual fair, the Rain CJouds never overlook it, and they never seem to have more pressing engagements elsewhere. That Topeka's luck will change in this respect seems to ap proach the heights of improbability. But rain, or no rain, the Topeka fair runs along just the same, and it's a great fair, and greater this year than ever before. Dr. Dumba is not ready yet to talk to reporters, and for the very excel lent reason, no doubt, that there is really nothing for him to say. Any explanations he might attempt to make could only tend to aggravate his duplicity. RAILROAD RAMIFICATIONS. Though the mileage of railroads operated in the United States in creased from 253,295 miles In the fis cal year 1913-14 to 255,840 miles in 1914-15, the gross operating revenue fell In the same period from $3,09?, 487,696 to $2,974,722,594. If this de crease of $173,765,000 in operating revenue were merely a loss to multi millionaires, not so many people would worry. But the figures have a deeper meaning. They mean less shipment of freight, less business for the retail merchant, less work for the carpenter, less trade in hardware, fewer people who are able to travel. This decrease in gross operating ex penses not only indicated dull times in other lines of business but forced a reduction in railroad expenditures amounting to $136,000,000. That meant direct loss to railroad workmen and dealers In material and direct loss to those who sell goods to railroad workmen and their families. Busi ness Is a sort of endless chain and when you break it the effect is far more extensive than might appear at rst thought. PINSK JSFALLEN City Taken by Forces Under Von Mackensen.

Gasoline was burned over the ground and then the arena was covered with straw. The show was called at 2 o'clock sharp. Polo Games Later. The polo game scheduled for this morning was called off. However, fair officials say that Topekans will be initiated into the thrilling sport before the end of the exposition should the weather make it possible. The polo field was slippery and muddy this morning. Show Tonight, Too. The fact that a horse show is to be held this afternoon does not mean that there will be no show tonight. The show scheduled for this evening will be put on at 8 o'clock. This of ccurse means a double bill for today. Two special trains, one from Horton and one from Clay Center, were run by the Rock Island today. The Union Pacific ran a special from Garrison Crossing, while the Rock Island ran two specials, one from Atchison and one from Ottawa. The Missouri Pa cific ran a special from LeRoy.

Hundreds of pairs of dainty white shoes were soil ed. But who cared? The Topeka ex position is worth it everyone said so. Fair officials ewre again the busiest men in Kansas. There, were a thou sand and one whims of the mighty mob to satisfy and by some miracle they were satisfied. Farmers Like Machinery. Farmers continued to be attracted by the machinery. Over in the ten acres of rattle and sputter, fathers told their sons of "when I was a boy." For the machinery of father's time has no place in the mammoth exhibit. There the substitutes for the "hired" men are supreme. A hay baler with a gas engine- that cuts the gang of men down to two or three in hay baling time when it used to take a dozen ia an example. Mighty gas tractors that will pull a dozen even two dozen plows where in "father's" time half as many four horse teams were required are trailing over the grounds. Milady of the farmhouse i3 not without interest in this exhibit. For is not a little motor which rims churns, washing machines, home elec tric generators that will make her home brighter exhibited. Johnnies and Marys big and little eventually wind up in front of the long graceful autos in motor hall. Then in the needle work department it's a family affair or maybe it's one of the thou sand and one cthei things in Art hall that attracts the entire family. AT THE THEATERS. At the Coxy. "That Million Dollar Look," a movie of clothes, is here. It is being shown today and Friday at the Cozy theater. The film shows the inside workings of a big tailoring shop where clothes for a large proportion of the men of America and other countries are made. The Royal Tailors are sending out the pictures all over the country. The importance of good clothes is emphasized in the picture. An inter esting story of how a man won a bride and a fortune through that "Million Dollar Look, runs through the film. The workings of the big Royal Tailor factories at Chicago and New York are shown and every phase of the clothing business is made clear to the public through the medium of the film. I. S. Galizky, manager of the New Toggery, is the Topeka agent for Royal Tailor clothes. He is In charge of the film exhibit at the Cozy. The local manager for the Royal Tailors has the booking of the films- in every town where they are shown-. The pic tures are very interesting, both as to plot and the chance to see the opera tion or one of the biggest clothing plants in the world. At tlie Hip On account of booking Mary Pick- ford in "The Bishop's Carriage" for the program at the Hip today three shows will be given tonight to take care of the large crowds. The shows will be continuous from 6:45 till 11 p. m. Two good acts' of vaudeville have been booked and will be seen with the above picture giving an hour and a half show for that "little dime." The management claims that fair pa trons will get their money's worth If they go to the Hip. At the Grand. The Grandi Stock company will present "The World Against Him" at the Grand opera house tonight. Vaudeville is introduced between acts. Tomorrow night "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" will be the bill. At the Electric. Peace has its victories as well as war. It has also its tragedies. There are few peaceful tragedies more hard than those which aliens, without money, have to bear in this great land. One or them formed tne Biiostance of a successful sketch some years ago. It was called, most happily, "The Sign of the Rose," and the imper sonator of the central character, Mr. George Beban, grew quite famous.

Another good vaudeville bill which is a complete change from the first half of the week will be on the boards at the Novelty starting this afternoon. The Alverettas, three In number, will occupy the head line spot on the bill with their comedy act, "I Can't Shut My Mouth." Madison and Nace bill themselves as 400 pounds of harmony. Their song selections include both ballads and popular rag time hits. The former is said to be especially well liked owing to the splendid harmony of the two voices. It is said that the Three Lyers have a splendid repertoire of songs and oth er musical hits and know how to "put their numbers over," to use the slangy mode of expression. Whistling acts by whistlers who know how to whistle are usually en Joyed by everybody. They say that Allen and White are in the class above mentioned. Miss Grace LaDelle and company claim to do an ret out of the general running in the form of sharp shooting. This young lady, that is they say she is young, comes as phenomenally skilled with the rifle. The Pathe News will be seen on the picture screen as is usual for the last half of every week.

HAM SEES PANIC Senator Lewis Protests Against Billion Dollar Loan. Fears Repetition of Disasters of 1873 and 1893. Chicago, Sent. 16. Senator J. Ham ilton Lewis today made public a let ter protesting against the proposed billion-dollar war loan, which he has sent to Secretary McAdoo and the Federal reserve board. Senator Lewis said his purpose in making the letter public was, that the public could take counsel with the bankers "looking to the proper guardianship of the money of the people." The loan, he said, would Invite rep etition of the panics of 1873 and 1893. In the course of his- letter the senator says: "The amount demanded by these financiers of Europe is one billion. The statement from two official hank ers of the government Is that the amount of usable money in America for America in excess of Teserve and money already obligated is $2,000, 000,000. "It will be seen-that if the billion sought goes to the foreign bankers, one-half of all the available cash for America is taken from the American people. This at a time when the American people! and the American government have no source in the world to resort to' in the event of any emergency breaking upon the United States. Loan Would Cripple U. S. "This amount of money leaving us means: "One hundred 'millions taken from ten of our commercial centers. "One million taken from one thou sand of our agricultural and manufac turing centers. "All this at a time when the rev enues of America show a deficit oc casioned by the European war's cut ting off imports and necessitating the borrowing by America from itself or the increasing of the taxes of the citi zens if there be deficiency of money in America to meet an American gov ernment loan. "The effect of this foreign loan would be to take one billion dollars from our people" of their own money and lend it to nations who are spend ing $15,000,000 a day. Warn Against Failing Credit. "In sixty days all of that money will be spent by the foreign nations and we will ha,ye in its place securities of two or three countries issued upon a credit already- taxed beyond its re sources, and we will have no way left bv law to collect the collateral. LO! THE POOR SHERIFF Auditor Davis Will Test Right to Col lect Railroad Fare. Right of Kansas sheriffs to charge railroad fare for conveying prisoners to the state penitentiary is to be test ed by W. E- Davis, state auditor. Fol lowing a conference today with John Hunt, assistant attorney general, Davis said he would ask for a formal opinion from the attorney general's office. For 'y-Jars KaiJsSjS "sp.criff s have Col lected actual miieftge, -railroad rates, for conveying prisoners to the state penitentiary at Lansing, These fees have been paid by the state without protest. Under the new fee and sal ary law, however, Davis doubts whether the fee should ber paid unless the sheriff actually buys a ticket to Lansing. Probably every sheriff in Kansas rides on a pass. But this fact has not prevented his collection of his fare from the state when a convict was taken to prison- The law says that the sheriff shall be paid his "actual and necessary expenses." Now, the auditor plans to require that receipts for railroad tickets be attached to all claims from sheriffs. An old opinion on this point, issued either by Attorney General Coleman or Goddard, may be brought into question. At that time it was held that the sheriffs had a right to ride on a pass and charge their fare. The wording of the new fee and salary law did not change it, as affecting the conveying of prisoners. That the question may be fully settled. Auditor Davis will ask the attorney general's office for a formal written opinion on which to base his payment of claims. MILLIONS IN WHEAT (Continued from Page One.) tured more than- thirteen times the amount of goods which under normal circumstances would have been tak en to that port. The fact gave practi cal and overwhelming assurance that the goods were intended to find their way to Germany, although, of course, it did not prove conclusively that they were destined for an enemy of Great Britain. One circumstance throwing light on the real destination of the goods. Sir Samuel said, was that the exportation of lard by one American company alone to Copenhagen in three weeks after the outbreak of the war was twenty times more than in periods of peace. As to tins of canned meat, he said, it had not been shown they had been sent to Denmark In any great quantity before the war, yet hundreds of thousands were on tne way when the vessels were captured. These tins, it seemed, could not have been meant for any persons other than German soldiers. Referring to the consignments of rubber described as gum, the presi dent said: Rubber Is Not Rubber. "I come to the conclusion that gum is not a true commercial description for rubber and that it was used on the ships' manifests in order to avoid the difficulties which would result in its capture by a belligerent. Any con cealment of this sort will, while I sit in the prize court, weigh heavily against those who adopt such courses. "Neutrals are expected to conduct their neutral trade during the war without false papers and with candor and belligerents are entitled to expect from neutrals a frank course of con duct." Sir Samuel allowed one claim of a Danish manufacturer for a quantity of rubber which he said ha 1 been ship ped in good faith for use in his fac tory. Another claim was disallowed. U. S. Packers Stung. The meat cargoes shipped for -the most part by the great -American packing companies and valued by them at 1 5,0,0 0.C 00 were found by thd president to be destined, except for some small items, not for consumption in Denmark, but for delivery in Ger many. He held that their eventual destination was the German govern-, ment, for the use of its naval and military forces. To rule otherwise. Sir -Samuel said, would be to allow one's eyes to be blinded by theories and technicalities. The court disallowed sixteen claims, including those of the Morris, Armour, Hammond, Swift and Sulzberger com panies. It allowed eight claims, in cluding that of the Cudahy company of Chieago. The others were Danish consignees. Sir .Samuel gave leave to appeal, fixing security for the costs at $25, 000,000 divisible among the appel lants. He also gave the crown attor ney leave to appeal in the cases of the Cudahy and other claims which were allowed. Cargoes Total Loss. Chicago, Sept. 16. The meat car goes confiscated by Great Britain will be a complete loss to the Dackers, ac cording to Thomas E. Wilson, presi dent of Morris Co., as there were no advance payments made. He will issue a statement later today. ROCKEFELLER Continued from Pane One.l in the opinion of some bankers, who point out that Great Britain's internal loans have borne 4 Vz and 5 per cent and that the bonds thus Issued are subject to the British income tax. The magnitude of this burden,, they state can be realized by the fact that the largest incomes of Great Britain are taxed as high as 27 per cent, while from 12 to 15 per cent is by no means uncommon. Bearing in mind the prime necessity that the securities to be offered here for the billion-dollar loan must be ab solutely free from all British income tax requirements these bankers point out that the terms Great Britain and France propose to offer American in vestors are infinitely better than the terms offered by these governments to investors at home. They doubt whether the commission would risk the displeasure of home investors by making terms even more favorable such as offering more than five per cent interest to investors abroad. Not for Munitions. A possibility that obtained wide spread discussion today was that pay ment for munitions of war would be excluded from the operation of the proposed credit loan. This report was that the big credit loan would be used to pay only for foodstuffs and other prime necessities and that payn.ent of war munitions would be.madn in gold. Members of the commission seemed well satisfied with the progress thus far made. Millions in pledges, it was reported already had been secured and more pledges were tentativelv assured. Negotiations, it was said had reached the stage where an authoritative state ment from the commission would be issued soon. It developed today that not only had the so-called pro-German group of New York financiers failed to re ceive invitations to participate in the negotiations although the hint had been dropped that they would wel come it, but members of the group had become convinced that no such invitations would be forthcoming. Certain members of the group have felt somewhat hurt by the failure to include them. Loan Too Bis:. From these sources today came the expression that a credit of from $300 000,000 to $400,000,000 would be ample. Payment for munitions of .war. it was thought, should be ex cluded from the proceeds of this loan Under no circumstances, it was said would members of this group partici pate in a loan which would cover pay ment or war munitions.

State banks were called upon today for a showing as to their financial condition at the close of business Wednesday, September 15. The call, which was issued by E. F. Benson, state bank commissioner, affects near ly 930 state banks and trust com panies. A call was issued this month for a statement from the national banks re garding their condition on Sept. 2.

At that time the state banks showed deposits of 129 million dollars, or an increase of 22 million dollars in deposits over the record of June 30, "new mills store Charter Taken Out Today; Capital Stock $25,000.

Whitehead at St. Louis. It is understood that Z. G. Hopkins, well known Topeka newspaper man. has been appointed the head of the newly created publicity department of the Missouri. Kansas Texas railroad. The Katy has organized such a de partment, known as the bureau of public relationship under Vice Presi dent C. N. Whitehead. The manage ment of the department has been of fered to Hopkins and he is in St. Louis now looking over the proposition. Mrs. Hopkins is with him. While no announcement has been made, it is understood that the title will be assistant to. the vice president The department has to do with all matters coming between the railway company and the public work sim ilar to what is known as the harmony campaign of the Santa Fe. Hopkins is an old time newspaper man, thoroughly conversant with the conditions in the southwest, where the Katy railroad operates. He began his newspaper career 20 years ago and has been employed in responsible positions on several Kansas and Oklahoma newspapers. He has also edited papers of his own in Welling ton and Junction City. "Hop" took a flier into politics two years ago when he was appointed state free employment agent by Gov ernor Hodges. He held that position until two weeks ago. In addition to his ability as a writer, Hopkins can make a good speech and is a capable mixer. Mr. Whitehead suggested to his company the organization of this new department last winter but his plans were not carried out until the last two weeks. However, the vice president came to Topeka in March, looked over Hopkins, and decided that he would Offer him the nnKitinn whon tv, time came.

To.Issue Receivers' Certificates to Pay Interest on Debentures. Chicago, Sept. 16.. Receivers for the Chicago, Rock Island Pacific railroad have been authorized to bor row money by the issuance of receiv-, ers' certificates, to pay the semi annual installment of interest due on $20,000,000 worth of debenture bondsj This authority to Jacob M. Dickinson and H. U. Mudge, the receivers, was given by Judge Carpenter in the Unit-I ed States district court. It is provided in the order that the receivers' certificates shall not consti-. tute a lien on the earnings of the road, and, therefore, shall, not -take prace- i dence over the underlying securities of th company. This will place tho'l certificates in priority of claim only before the debentures, the interest on which is to be paid by the sum realized on the certificates. The $500,000 in terest was due July 15, 1915, and pay ment was deferred until September 10. Considerable pressure was brought, it is said, by holders of the underlying securities to have the provision against a lien on earnings incorporated in the court order. Judge Carpenter said earlier in the day that he had assured counsel for the holders of the underly ing securities that the certificates were to be issued with the understanding that if they were not paid at the ex piration of the six months they were to run unless the earnings of the road made it possible to take them up. The "no lien" clause is the expression of that assurance in an official order. BANK BOOKS JUGGLED Ledger of Chicago House Used Against K. C. "Financiers." Kansas City, Mo., Sept. 16.

Davis and John W. Beery, former officers of the Trust company. cnargea witn using the mails to de fraud. The charge is based on the alleged Issuance of a fraudulent finan cial statement. The practice of "waebir.g" checks, a' process of crediting on the ledger of a bank a certain amount tnd then enter ing a charge account for a like sum, was the subject of much testimony in the case. Witnesses have testified that al though the books of the American Union Trust company showed a "cash and sight exchange" entry of $333, 471.18 for June 30, 1911, more than $300,000 of this was due from the La- Salle National bank of Chicago and the actual cash on hand was under $900. The ledger of the Chicago bank was brought into court by George G. Fox, cashier of the' institution. It showed t that on July 3, 1911, the American Union Trust company had been cred ited twice with $312,500 and on the same day charged twice with similar amounts, making a transaction on the books of $625,000. with no balance. STOPS AT LECOMPTON Hesitation Proves to Be the Vndoing of "Skunk" Wisdom. Lewis (Skunk) Wisdom, colored, who has served a term In the state penitentiary for violation of the liquor law, was arrested this morning as he was bringing 4 8 half-pints of whisky and two gallons of alcohol into To peka. Wisdom did not like the idea of going to jail to await his trial, which will be on a felony charge with a penitentiary penalty, so he fought a little at the county Jail. After knock ing him down three times Mitch Bundy, the Jailer, and Joe Holman, deputy sheriff, were able to get Wis dom Into a cell. W. P. Schneck, a deputy sheriff of Douglas county, saw Wisdom get on a Santa Fe train at Xecompton with his two packages of booze and made the arrest.

Mathews of Garfield Place finds raising fancy poultry a profitable side line for the lady of the house. During the past three years Mrs. Mathews has been gradually building up a flock of pure blood Rose Comb Rhode Island Red chickens and today augmented her poultry ranch with three fancy birds, purchased from Dr. C. R. Watson, an expert bird raiser of Miller.' Neb. This spring and summer Mrs. Mathews raised seven hundred ind fifty young birds in incubators, which she sold to her neighbors and others interested in good stock, besides tail ing orders for egg settings. The de mand for settings this summer has been more than her supply could fill. "It takes lets of work." said Mrs. Mathews today, 'but the enjoyment one gets from watching the young chicks grow up more than pays for the trouble." The poultry department at the Mathews home belongs strictly to the "Mrs." according to the man of the Any Women Can Now Have Pretty Curly Hair (Feminine World.) Who'd have thought so simple a thing ac npplying ordinary liquid silmerine could convert straight hair into such pretty cui ly lochs in a sin gle nipht! The one who made this discovery is surely entitled to a rising vote of thanks. Now all we need to do is to wet a brush with this harm less liquid at night, draw this through the hair, and in the morning we find it has dried in just the sweetest waves and curls. it's good news, indeed, that we can now dispense with the destructive waving tongs forever! The curliness is much more natural looking where the liquid silmerine is used, and cer tainly one's "crowning glery" appears softer, glossier and more beautiful. When it is so easy to secure a few ounces of this from the druggist which will keep the hair in curl for weeks there's no reason now for any one putting up with straight, straggly or scorched, dead-looking hair.

To do this, just get about four ounces of plain, common liquid arvon from any drug store (this is all you will need), apply it at night when retiring; use enough to moisten the scalp and rub it in gently with the finger tips. By morning, most if not all, of your dandruff will be gone, and three or four more applications will com pletely dissolve and entirely destroy every single eign and trace of it, no matter how much dandruff you may have.

Considers Herself Fairly Good Judge of Medicines. TANLAC GIVEN TRIAL Says Master Medicine Benefited Her Greatly. Mould Be Ungrateful She Did ot Tell People. Mrs. Emma Coffman. the efficient trained nurse who is known in so many of the best homes of Joplin has Jnade 2 remarkable statement rega rd Tnn lac the new medicine that is SeTngo widely discussed in Topeka and vicinity. Mrs. Coffman said: "I nave had such an extensive -peHencTwifh medicine that I feel that Tshould be considered a fairly good ludee of such preparations. When ?hTs Tanlac was placed on the market I watched its introduction with con siderable interest, as I was familiar with Its success in other cities. "I determined to give it a trial in my own case. I had suffered with stomach trouble for several years and while I used a number of preparations, in the hope of bettering my condition. I had no faith in anything I took or that was prescribed for me. and the results were never satisfactory. I had ecarcejy used a bottle of Tanlac how ever, before I appreciated its benefi cial effects. "My digestion has been very poor, gas forming on my stomach immedi ately after eating. I had been ex tremely nervous and any sudden noise or excitement would cause a palpita tion of my heart that alarmed me. I frequently and periodically had head aches and was completely worn out most of the time. "There certainly is something to this Tanlac. It has done me more good than everything else combined. It is the first time I ever recommended a proprietary medicine publicly, but I feel that I would be ungrateful if I did not consent to tell the public about my relief, which Tanlac pro duced. Tanlac is- really a very un usual preparation, and will do any woman or man good." Such statements as Mrs. Coffman s should prove of peculiar interest to those who suffer from stomach, liver, kidney and Intestinal ailments, or ca tarrh, and such people are innumer able in all cities like Topeka. Women and men who are so affected have im perfect digestion, suffer from consti pation, lack of energy and ambition, feel melancholy and discouraged, have gastritis, backache. headaches, poor memory, pains in the pit of the stom ach, side and kidney region, develop some catarrhal affection and are very susceptible to coughs and colds. Tanlac, the combatant, tonic, ap petizer and invigorant, was designed to overcome that very trouble and to bring back color to the cheeks and the sparkle of health to the eyes. Thou sands here and elsewhere are now testifying daily that Tanlac accom plishes its' mission. The celebrated Tanlac is now sold in Topeka under the personal direc tion of W. C. Pope, at the Tully-Mc-Farland drug store. Ninth and Kan sas- avenues. successors to Matt Weightman, where he is meeting the public daily and explaining the merits of the premier preparation.

SHERMAN IS HURT Illinois Senntor's Face Cut hy Glass; Stone Through Car Window. St. Louis. Mo., Sept. 16. United States Senator L. Y. Sherman, of Illi nois, suffered deep lacerations on the face and hands last night when a rock thrown at a Vandalia railroad train between Collinsville. 111., and East St. Louis. 111., shattered the window be side which the senator sat. It is believed the rock was thrown by one of two boys who were seen walking along the track at that point. As the glass flew into the senator's face, he pitched forward in his chair and the, blood spurted from his wounds, blinding him for the time. Fellow passengers carried him to the washroom where the flow of blood was partially stopped. The train put on extra speed for the rest of the distance to St. Louis and upon its arrival here Senator Sherman was rushed to a hotel and a physician called. The senator's injuries, while pain ful, are not serious. Senator Sherman was coming to St. Louis from Robinson, 111., where he spoke at an old settlers' meeting. Ho left for Chicago today.

THE' TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL THURSDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 16, 1915. 7 WHITE BURIES THEJATCHET Emporia Editor Abandons the Political War Path. Places His Editorial Endorse ment on Governor Capper. OH BASIS OF COMMON SENSE The Administration Is ot Run on Partisan Lines. Jobs to Bull 3Ioose and Praise to Stand Patters. 'The truth is tnat few of Governor Capper's appointments have been po litical. He has run his ad.ninistra tion on a basis of common sense, not on a tiartissn hnsis" William Allen White in Emporia Gaet:e. enee Bradley, Frankfort, $12 o; Pat rick O'Sullivan, Delia, J25. The land and home owned by Mrs. Smith are to be sold and the residue of the estate used for the education of her grandchildren. The Rev. Father Patrick J. Smith, of Lane, a son, and Daniel O'Meara, of Axtell, are made administrators of the estate, which is valued at approximately $24,000, of which $14.000 is real estate. ELMHUHST NO. 2 Topeka Company .Will Plat an Addi tion to Concordia. That was th3 meat of the Emporia editor's comment or. the appointment by the wage commission of Miss Lenna. Rvt.wttp as secretary. Since the appointment of Eiistow, Mercer Tod. Jackson. Keene and the savins of a berth for Codclir.e. White has nallerl imnr the progressives to wit- nests that Governor Capper has risen above political alignments, jrfven the Pm?ivssivps The iobs unci shown his inflpnpnrlpnpc. ,t was because of this condition that a threat to resurrect the Repub lican lojmnp recentlv came from the offices of J. S. Dean and George A Clark. The threat didn't -land many conservatives in office, but it resulted in an upheaval in the editorial trend of the Caoier imblicat ions that was observed hv everv oolitical reader Kansas. Since that time the policy of nassinz the natronaee to the Pro gressives has been unchanged, but old line Republicans rubbed their hands joyously when they read Cap per editorials pointing to the admir able triils of Senator Root, the learned remarks of Taft and the shafts that were handed to Roose- veit- Th-.is the plan of harmony has been moulded in Kansas a program that irives to the Progressives the jobs and an editorial policy that is considerate ami at times almost kindly toward conservative leaders. It isn't just the soi.nd. nractical. consistent policy that some ot the leaders desired. For the conservatives it doesn't mean jobs with which to oil the wheels of the organization. For the Progressives it doesn't exactly indicate a fearless, deen rooted conviction behind the ap pointments and a fighting spirit that makes crusaders. But each faction in turn is receiving something that can be termed recognition and thus real harmony is made possible if not quite certain. May Have Had a Tip. A few weeks ago George A. Clark remarked in an interview that Gover nor Capper would soon appoint a real conservative to some minor office and point to his independence. Possibly Clark had an advance tip. If not he was a wizard in doping political fu tures. Only the other day the governor ap pointed V. H. Haskell election com missioner in Kansas City. It was urged that old line Republicans had been recognized by appointment to of fice. But it didn't fool the real ob servers in the conservative camp. They knew that Haskell had been appoint ed not as an act of independence, not as a recognition of the old crowd, not from a desire to divide the patronage. They knew that Haskell had been ap pointed to sidetrack his candidacy for the wardenship of the state prison. Thus Haskell's local job is checked against the wardenship saved for Codding an organizer of the Pro gressive party in Kansas. A Hodges appointee is pushed across the board and Bristow who fought and bled for the Progressives until the wind left their sails, is given a $4,000 place. Joe Mercer, a Progressive through two state campaigns, goes back to the job he left when Stubbs left the governor's chair. Fred S. Jackson, who made a crusade for the Progressives in 1912, and defied the conservatives in the party council, is returned to a public job. Tod, another of the Progres sive type, was given a" job, looked it over, decided it was unprofitable and declined. Keene, who fought for all of the reform measures on the Pro gressive program, is an attache of the state administration. Miss Lenna Bresette, a Democrat, a Hodges ap pointee, a woman of unusual abilitv, is reappointed. And from White's typewriter comes the editorial that will cheer the disappointed conserva tives in every section of the state: "The truth is that few of Governor Capper's appointments have been political." The Elmhurst Investment company of Topeka has concluded a deal whereby the company comes into possession of a forty-acre tract ad jacent to the town of Concordia. The ground will be platted as an addition to Concordia and lots will be sold by the company on a plan similar to that used in the Elmhurst subdivision in Topeka. The Concordia addition will also be known as Elmhurst. The con sideration was $12,000. Work will be started by the last of SeDtember, and the company will em ploy expert landscape artists to pre pare the land for use. Mr. Hinman, of Concordia, who sold the tract to the Topeka company, has signed a con tract calling for the removal of all crops by September 2 7. The place was once laid out for city lots and was known as Hinman's Ad dition, but the proposition was not pushed sufficiently to dispose of the property. The tract adjoins Willow avenue on the west of the town. The sale was brought about by the Cloud County Real Estate company. N. B. Burge, president of the Elmhurst company, has been in Concordia ar ranging the deal. HUNT FOR LOSTGLERIC Mountaineers, Spurred by $500 ward, Comb Snowy Passes. Ke. Denver, Sept. 16. Spurred by a re ward of $500, experienced mountain eers and United States forest rangers today continued their search of the Estes Park region for the Rev. Thorn ton R. Sampson, minister and educa tor of Austin, who disappeared more than two weeks ago. The reward was offered by Mrs. Sampson, who is in Denver. Heavy snows have fallen in the last few days over the rugged district where the minister is believed to have been lost and hope of finding him alive practically has been abandoned. The search will be kept up, however. LOOSE TEETH SORE GUMS (PYORRHEA) I am a Dentist of 25 years Experience.

RAILWAY CO. AUTOMOBILE EXHIBIT WHEELEJKLUXURY Greatest Display of Automo biles Ever Seen Here. Is Located in Motor Hall at the Bis Fair. IN ALL STYLES AND PRICES Leading Manufacturers of the Country Represented. Cars to Suit Every Taste Are on Display. BY SAX JARRELL. Years ago the automobile was con sidered a luxury. Only the gilded rich thought they could afford cars, and they were right. The man of wealth a few years ago dug down deep in his bank account and counted out two or three thousand dollars. For that sum he was given a o-passenger machine with a motor, four wheels, gas lights and an arm-breaking crank. Always the top. windshield and speedometer were extra. And then the man of money would crank up the old boat and the chug chug of his motor could be heard for blocks. No wonder the horses steered clear of the deafening machine. Every few miles there would be a puncture, or, more likely a, blow-out. The cars were all heavy, cumbersome vehicles. Repairs cost a lot of money each month. Gasoline soared up to the skies and John D. Rockefeller and his associates found a richer sources of income. The student of thV automobile in- PROGRAM Friday Afternoon 1 :oo Marshall's Military band concert in front of the grandstand. 2:00 Automobile races. Professional drivers and their famous racing cars in a full program of exciting contests. 4:00 Concert on the plaza by the Knights and Ladies of Security band. 5:00 Monoplane flight by William Kopsecker. dustry should skip over a brief period of years. Those years have shown a revolutionized business. Marvels have been worked. Today the motor car is universally recognized as a necessity, ranking with electric lights, patent dishwashers, fireless cookers, tooth brushes, scrub brushes and books on golf. Doctors, lawyers, railroad offi cials, merchants, real estate men, farmers, druggists, traveling sales men, clerks, bricklayers and janitors all find the automobile indispensable in their different walks of life. And the motors themselves. If what every salesman says about his car were put into a book, the volume could be laid like a blanket over the whole state of Connecticut with a width that would compare with the summit of Mount Washington. The dealers tell the truth. A man can spend hours telling of the manifold wonders of any popular make of automobile. How Prices Have Fallen. Ten years ago H. Ford, a Detroit citizen, was selling his light automo bile for around $1,200. Today he manufactures hundreds of thousands of cars and sells them for less than $500 each. In 1905 his cars had no comforts, no conveniences, whatever. Now they are fully equipped. For the $1,000 that an ancient Ford cost in years gone by, a man in To peka can purchase a four, six or eight cylinder car. The car is upholstered in finest leather; it has electric start ing and lighting equipment. Its body is streamline. It has a one-man top. Gasoline consumption is lo.w. The tires are the right size for the weight of the car, cutting down trouble to a minimum. At the big free state fair several progressive Topeka dealers have built Motor hall, where their cars can be seen.

Motor Gar The Standard Car With a Reputation Every White owner is a booster for the "WHITE CAR" Exhibit No. 1, Motor Hall, Fair Grounds Prospective Motor Car Buyers will do well to consider quality as well as price before buying a car. Study the situation carefully. The panicky cut in prices in the last few years, means either one of two things. First, former prices were entirely too high and the car manu facturers were making an enormous profit or, sec ond, they have cut the quality to meet the de mands of the lower prices. This must be the case because any manufacturers, will tell you that he is paying more for labor, more for material, and it costs more to build a car with the same quality of material used in its construction in former years, today than several years ago. The White Motor car is "Standard in Quality," "Standard in Price," and will be the standard car in years to come.

A Topeka woman says that when everyone is satisfied that the town is pure and spotless, she has some reforms of her own on which to base a crusade. The first den of iniquity that will be reformed is the Topeka club. Her objection to the club is that is shelters some well-to-do bachelors who are so well taken care of at their club home that they never will rustle out and look for a wife. They are altogether too comfortable in their nest of cotton batting and TODAY'S BEAUTY HINTS to whiten and beautify the com plexion permanently we have found no better preparation than a lotion made by dissolving four ounces of spurmax in a half pint of hot water, then add ing two teaspoonfuls of glycerin. This removes any pimples, shiny, muddy or sallow appearance, and will make any one's skin clear, smooth and velvety. It does not show or rub off like powder; In fact. It seems a part of the skin; and for removing tan and freckles is unequaled. It is necessary to shampoo more frequently in the warmer weather be cause of excessive dust and the fact that the head perspires more and is usually more exposed to the weather. The easiest to use and quickest dry ing shampoo that we can recommend to our readers can be prepared very cheaply by dissolving a teaspoomui of canthrox, obtained from your drug gist, in a cun of hot water. This rub bed into the scalp creates a thick lather, soothing and cooling in its ac tion, as well as very beneficial to scalp and hair. After rinsing, the scalp is fresh and clean, while the hair dries quickly and evenly. developing bright luster and a soft fluffiness that makes it seem very heavy. Aav.

GAMES AT EMMETT SUNDAY. Jackson and Pottawatomie Counties Will Play a Doubleheader Bill. Emmett, Kan., Sept. 16. Next Sun day's doubleheader between Jackson and Pottawatomie counties will be the most hotly contested series of the in tercounty baseball tournament. Jack son is coming with the strongest team they ever turned out accompanied by 350 rooters. Last year Pottawatomie won both games from Jackson by score of 1 to 0 and 5 to 1 and having won a double victory from Shawnee last Sunday it would appear that Jackson will have to play high class ball in order to win. The best players from four of the fastest teams in the state will be in the Jackson county lineup. There will be six from Circleville, two from Soldier, three from Holton and four from Mayetta and among them will be several big league Indian players. Puckee, Mzhickteno and Big Eagle, who has been on the pitching staff of the Carlisle Indian traveling team for the past two years, are in the lineup. These games will be close and judging from the secrecy which the local management is maintaining Pottawatome evidently has something big on the slab for Sunday. LOOfOVER OUR ARMS Visitors Inspect Kansas Munitions at State House. Within the last few weeks the daily number of visitors to the arsenal of the Kansas National Guard has doubled, according to a statement from the office of Charles I. Martin, adjutant general of the guard. In the arsenal, located in the base ment of the state house, in Topeka, are all manner of auxiliary stores for use in the event of Kansas troops tak ing the field. These stores, which are in addition to the full equipment car ried by the various companies and or ganizations of the guard, range from the "soldiers' housewives," containing a few buttons, thread and needles, to 75 military transport wagons, thor oughly equipped for service. More extra ammunition, summer and winter clothing, and camp equipment is on hand in the arsenal than ever before in the history of the organization, it is said. HJST PAY OLD BOND ISSUE. Hugoton Faces Necessity of Floating New Bonds to Meet Old. Hugoton, Kan., Sept. 16. Hugoton is facing the necessity of paying an old bond debt, which brought the town few benefits. Back somewhere in the '80's, the town was bonded for J10, 000. Later the town slumped and the value of the bonds slumped with the town. But some years ago things be gan to pick up at Hugoton and when the town had become again prosper ous the holders of the old bonds re minded the city authorities of the old obligation which dated back into, the 80's. The matter was taken to court and the bond holders were given a judgment against the city for the face value of the bonds. Now an effort will be made to fund this indebtedness, converting it into new bonds, which can b'e paid by Hugoton in installments. Attorney Frank A. McCoy went to make ar rangements in Kansas City for taking care of the indebtedness. Al Hall, alias Harris, alias Lewis, arrested for the murder of Albert Al len of Morland, Kan., escaped from the Hill City jail Sunday morning be fore daylight. He is believed to be a bad man and it is thought that he is wanted in several places. Hall is about- 38 years old, medium height, weighs 140 pounds and has a scar across his nose. A reward of $100 has been offered for his apprehension. SOAP IN EDUCATION. A Greater Necessity '1'iiuii Books, Says President Butcher. Emporia, Kan., Sept. 16. "Soap is a greater necessity in education than books," said President Thos. W. Butcher of the Emporia normal, in an address here before eleven hundred students. "Some countries are noted for what they drink, others for what they eat, but America is conspicuous for the amount of soap that she uses. Let us keep alive the tradition. "You as future teachers will need social as well as individual attain ments. The banker or the merchant need not attend closely to the cut of his coat or the color of his tie, but the teacher is watched in these re spects. I have known a poorly chosen necktie to lose a superintendent his position. "Education is being able always to find something to do. But it is more than that. It is being able to do it with ease and grace. It is the culture attained by soap and grooming. We need more soap in education." FOUND CRAZY MAN AT OGDEX. Manhattan Officers Try to Learn Iden tity of Insane Wanderer. Manhattan, Kan., Sept. 16. Citi zens of Ogden brought down to the jail here a stranger found wandering around up there in what they took to be a crazed condition; and Sheriff Schermerhorn is trying to learn the identity of the man. In his ravings at the jail, the man stated that his name is Finley Boston and that his mother, a Mrs. Brown, lives at 951 Osage street, Argentine, Kan. He was evidently suffering from a lack of food and the sheriff stated that he was convinced the man had had nothing to eat for several days. MUST SERVE HIS SENTENCE. Henry Tyitteral Denied New Trial in Columbus 31urder Case. Columbus, Kan., Sept. 16. Henry Litteral must serve his sentence in the state penitentiary for the murder of his brother, Jesse Litteral, last spring. In the district court at Galena, Judge J. N. Dunbar overruled a mo tion for a new trial of the case, and Litteral will be sentenced later. Litteral was found guilty of man slaughter by a jury early last week. OLSBURG GAZETTE SOLD. Following is a summary of weather and crop conditions in Kansas and in the wheat and corn region for the week ending September 14, issued by the weather, bureau section center at Topeka: Nearly all of Kansas enjoyed ideal weather for maturing corn and catch ing up with delayed farm work this week. In most parts it was the warm est week of the season. There was no rain to Interfere with farm work except in the southeast quarter of the state and the Kaw valley and drying winds, with plenty of sunshine, were general the last three days. Corn made exceptionally fine growth and the warm weather has begun to mature it nicely, but it is very un even in ripening. In the southern part of the state from half to three-fourths has reached the point where it is safe from frost now; in the northern part not more than 25 per cent is safe. Gen erally, the bulk of the state's crop will be safe by September 25 or October 1, which is from ten days to two weeks earlier than the average date of the first killing frost in autumn in Kan sas. There is considerable late planted corn, especially in the northern por tion, that will not be matured until about October 10 or 15. The sorghums (kafir, feterita and milo) are making fine growth, but will not be past danger from frost un til October 1 in the southern counties and two weeks later in the northern. Threshing wheat and oats went for ward almost without interruption this week, but in the western counties more than half remains to be done. The yield of wheat continues poor. Oats are more encouraging. Plowing went forward all week but the ground was too hard to plow well in the southwestern, central and northeastern counties and too wet in the southeastern. No wheat has been sown except in a few northwestern counties, where some early seeded and volunteer wheat is up. An extra heavy crop of prairie hay is being secured in fine shape. In many places pastures have grown so they are being cut for hay. The third crop of alfalfa is about made and the fourth is ready in many places. Picking fall apples is becoming gen eral. Generally warm weather and much sunshine during the week in the prin cipal corn growing states was very beneficial. Maturing of the crop made rapid progress except in the more northern portions where it was too cool and wet. In the spring wheat belt threshing was generally interrupted by rain the latter part of the week. In the winter wheat belt, except in a few restricted areas the soil is in excellent condition and preparing the ground for seeding is progressing rapidly. Only a IVtle wheat has been sown yet. Pastures, ranges, truck and stocic continue in good condition and fal feed is abundant. "Why, captain, are you making your boat hug the Bhorp?" ''Because I am em bracing an opportunity to land."
