Preparations for 1916 Cam paign Are Under Way. HARD FIGHT IS ANTICIPATED Party Will Stand on Achieve ments of Administration. Third Party Will Cut Small Figure Next Year. (BY X. C. PARKE.) New Tork, Oct. 30. The Demo cratic national organization wili swing into the 1916 presidential tight within less than six weeks. Chairman Wil liam S. McCombs admitted today that it will be a real fight, though he sees nothing but Democratic national suc cess in the offing. When the Democratic national committee meets in Washington, De cember 7, I shall urge upon the mem bers that the work of organization for the 1916 campaign begin at once," said tne Democratic chairman. I have been through one pre-nom- ination campaign and one presidential campaign. I know that you can't any more pick a successful political or ganization out of the air in a few min utes that you can build a second United States Steel corporation over night. The work of organizing and obtaining funds should begin immedi ately after our December meeting. "President Wilson will be the nomi nee and the party will go before '.he country with the Democratic adminis tration's achievements as an argument in appealing for votes. But the con test this year," Chairman McCorr.bs said, "will be a straight out and out tight between Democratic and Repub lican candidates in contrast to the three corners of the battle of 1912. "The Progressives will not figure In next year's campaign," said the Dem ocratic chairman. "I do not believe they will carry a single state. "The reason for the dissolution of the Progressive party I forecast in an interview after the 1912 election in which I said the 1916 fight would be a fight between the Democratic and Republican candidates. The Repub licans were beaten, badly beaten, but their organization Is still intact and they survived.. "The majority of the Progressives will be found voting with the. Demo cratic party in 1916. Some, of course, who voted for Colonel Roosevelt be cause they were strongly attached to him, will be back in the Republic n fold. "In some states, third party men will continue to vote the Progressive ticket in 1916. This will make it dif ficult for the Republicans to capture electoral votes, though, of course, not to the same extent as in 1912. "But, nevertheless, I realize we will know next November that we have been through a real fight." TORPEDO'S BLAST Ship Hesperian Not Sunk by Exploding Mine. Lansing Says Experts Have Re futed German Claim. Washington, Oct. 30. Secretary Lansing announced today that the navy department had definitely estab lished the fact that the fragments of the engine of war which sank the Allan liner Hesperian was a part of a torpedo.

The secretary volunteered no in formation regarding what form the communication to the German govern ment might take. Germany has made to the United States a qualified disclaimer of re sponsibility for the sinking of the Hes perian. In a note to Ambassador Ger ard on September 14, the foreign of fice said that on the face of the evi dence then at hand, Germany was sat isfied that the Hesperian was not sunk by a German submarine. The fragment ot metal examined by the navy department experts was said to have been picked from the deck of the Hesperian after the explosion. The Hesperian sank early In Septem ber off the Irish coast while making her way to port after being disabled by the explosion. The fragment was made of polished steel and was about nine inches long.

Old Body One of Preparation; Now for Action. GALLIC OPTIMISM RUNS HIGH Briand, at Helm, Is Man of Hour in France. New Premier Says German Mil itarism Must Die. BY WILLIAM PHILLIPS SIMMS. Paris, Oct. 30. "No deviation from the country's fixed purpose to win the war and crush German militarism," Premier Aristide Briand told me in an interview, "will be the new French cabinet's policy. This was the old ministry plat form," he continued, "and it will bo ours." The new premier received me in the office he is about to vacate at the ministry of Justice in favor of Rene Viviani, his predecessor as premier, and for a short time as foreign min ister also, with whom he has changed cabinet posts. The interview was granted just ne fore M. Briand's visit to the Elysee palace to see President Poincare. Essentially a man of the greatest vigor and always eloquent, he spoke today more than usually forcefully, lie never seemed more determined. "I desire the world to understand thoroughly," he went or., "that the change in the ministry does not imply a change in policy. We continue firmly on with our allies, our com mon motto being: 'Victory.' "Through victory alone will we win permanent peace. No compromise is possible. We must enforce the right of every country to rule itself, each privileged to enjoy its own culture and, as you say in America, with se curity of life, liberty and property against molestation." Such is the new cabinet's policy. Such must be the policy of any cabi net which has its country confidence. The general view is that the new ministry's creation marks a turning Doint in events. The predecessor is now regarded as having been one of preparation. The new one is looked on as a ministry of action, put togeth er primarily to conduct the war to a successful issue. Briand is the man of the hour in France. Gallic- optimism was never at a higher pitch. MEXICAN BATTLE IS ON Funston rteports Fighting Near Bor der Mexican Herald Suppressed. waehimrtnn Oct 30.

HIS LAIRIS FOUND Officers Locate a Deserted Camp on Biver Bank. It Is Belieyed to Hare Been Occupied by Houser. This morning a party from the sher iffs office investigated the report turned in by M. A. Nelson, 1111 Jack son street, that there was a question able character, answering the descrip tion furnished by KJene, camping on the south bank of the Kaw river just above the mouth of Ward creek, north of the city. A one man camp which had evi dently been left in a hurry was found. That it had been occupied on the day before the date of the hold-up was shown by a newspaper in the camp wnicn oore tne date of October 27. What once had been provisions were scattered about the camp. The camp was recently constructed and built from poles and twigs which had been freshly cut. Sheriff Kiene believes that it was occupied by Houser, as it is though ihis is the way the man has been living most of the time that he has been hunted. A full set of cooking utensils was piled about the place. It is due north of Willow park and not far from the Rock Island yards. Topeka is running rings around It self today in an attempt to deduce a theory as to the hold-up and alleged attempted assault against Francis Kiene and Miss Laura Bailey In Wil low park Thursday night. "What I think about the hold-up" was the sub ject of a debate that could be over heard on any street corner, in any pool hall or restaurant at practically any time. Some of the theories born in the brains of amateur sleuths would have done credit to a Poor Pauline playwright. Few of them will hold water. Number of Theories. Four theories of the affair were volunteered today by the sheriff's of fice, the police and "wise' individuals of the city. From the sheriff's office, from L. L. Kiene, sheriff, and from a number of the police force comes tho argument that the affair was engi neered by Houser. Certain police de tectives believe that it was the work of local talent. A few city officials and persons who know, or claim to know the workings of alleged high school un official "hazing" suggest that some one who "had it in for Kiene" engi neered the affair. Another theory is opened up by Morris Mileham, an em ployee of the State Journal, who says he met young Kiene on his way home after the affair. Mileham's story: "I met Kiene after the affair. He was mad. He said he had been held up by a man in Willow, park. He told me that the person had stuck a gun in his face and asked him about the girl. Young Kiene said he denied the assertion that the holdup made. Then, Kiene said, he took the girl to one side and talked to her. Kiene then told me that the man b.-ought the girl back and stated that he had the wrong couple and left." Sheriff Kiene today stated that there was no doubt that the story as print ed in Friday's State Journal was cor rect and that he was firm in his con viction that Houser is the guilty men. Principals in the case remain unshak en as to the story set forth originally. Old criminal catchers agree that there was a holdup. The guilty party that is another question.

The fa'l of Pirot this morning (Wednesday) was a severe blow to the s-erbian army, since the reduction of this strong position leaves open the road to Nish and invites a strong Bulgarian advance toward the center of Old Serbia.

The most thorough preparations for defense had been made by the Ser bians, whose resistance was deter mined. Every mountain crest sur rounding the fortress was literally covered with barbed-wire entangle- nhctiutlpji. From meuLs aim 1 these positions the Serbians poured a terrific fire into the Bulgarian lines. Three outlying positions were taken more than a week ago, but the inner line and the southern, eastern aim northern works held out until Mon day. However, the Bulgarians suc ceeded in taking heavy artillery to the v, mmiTitflfn whence thev were able to direct their fire at the Serbian defenses. Infantrv After BUT liuns.

The Bulgarians were often obliged to climb on all fours up steep slopes to the Serbian positions. Now and then attacking parties were shot down or thrown back, but they returned to the assault and shortly before noon car ried all the Serbian defenses. The Bulgarian artillery did most effective work. Its fire was said by Serbian prisoners to have been the worst they had experienced. The shrapnel exploded unerringly at a height of fifty feet above the Serbian positions. This, together with the impetuous rushes of the Bulgarian infantry, compelled the remaining Serbians to surrender. Most of the prisoners wear citizen clothing with military overcoats and caps. Others are wearing the thin summer uniforms with three or four shirts. Few of them have good shoes. There was no lack, however, of the best French and British war materials. The Serbians are still hoping that reinforcements will reach them. All accounts agree as to the valor of the Bulgarians, Extraordinary exertions were required to scale the dizzy heights at Zajecar. The Bulgarian infantrymen removed their shoes to obtain a better footing on the slippery rocks. Like untamable beings, they rushed up the slopes. Gaps in their line were filled up instantly from fol lowing reserves. Reaching the sum mit, the infantry did such effective work with the bayonet that the Ser bians, who were still inclined to fight held up their hands quickly. It is as serted that the .Bulgarians' losses were slight in view of the magnitude of the action. Montenegrins Give Battle. Paris, Oct. 30. The Montenegrin legation today received the following offiicala dispatch: "A great battle between Montene grin and Austrian troops began south of Vishegrad (Bosnia) on October 28.

Washington, Oct. 30. Resignation of Hsu-Shih-Chang, Chinese premier, was announced in an official telegram received here today from Peking.

Then along about the Christmas holidays, perhaps Kansas will dump on the market her millions of bushels of corn and wheat and think of Christmas remem brances for the kiddies. "The Fifth and Sixth districts need eight thousand strong, husky farm hands to gather the big corn crop," Dyer declared in Topeka today. "It is the biggest crop I have known since 1889. But that isn't all. Prob ably less than one-third of the wheat crop has been threshed and good weather conditions during the next few weeks are badly needed." Dyer is a candidate for the Repub lican nomination for state auditor next year. He was formerly postmas ter of the Smith Center and during a number of legislative sessions was sergeant at arms of the house. In 1914, he was elected to a place on the irrigation commission and the commission was abolished by the 1916 legislature leaving Dyer without a Job. "The entire Republican ticket will win in Kansas next year," predicted Dyer, "and if I am nominated I will be elected. I think the voters gen erally understand about the abolition of the irrigation commission and I believe I have an excellent chance to win the nomination THE Piano Not After Cannot Call p.r.immioiB MANAGE! THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL '"D BRITISHTOO SLOW England Must Aid Serbia Im mediately or Nerer. Plucky Little Nation Takes Favors From Nobody. BUT HELP IS NEEDED NOW Former Sofia Premier Gives Out Interview in Paris. The Kernel of War's Cause in East, He Says. BY WILLIAM PHILLIPS SIMMS. Paris, Oct. 30. "Serbia takes favors from nobody. All she wants is fair play. She expects the allies to do their full duty by her. France is doing it already. Doubtless England intends to do likewise but she Is too slow. Un less she hurries, her aid will come too late." Thus Milenko "Vistnich, former pre mier of Serbia and present Serbian minister in Paris, summed up the Bal kan situation to me today ia an in terview granted exclusively to the United Press. He had just returned from Serbia and is familiar with all the latest developments. "I do not wish to be interpreted," he continued, "as calling for help. It is not in the Serbian people's nature to do this. Nor do I say what I do in a spirit of criticism. I am speaking plainly for the allies' good generally. East Is Important. "I have often seen in the English newspapers the intimation that the western front is the only really im portant front in the present war. Never was there a greater mistake. The real kernel of the war's cause was and is the near eastern question. Thus, England and all the allies are interest ed in what is transpiring there. "Germany began to concern herself in the Orient sixty years ago. The war is the direct result of her de termination to crush the Balkan countries which, though small now, were growing stronger and threaten ing to become a stumbling block in the German road to the east. "England is especially interested in this problem, so ought to act quickly. I do not doubt England's loyalty, but speedier action is necessary. Germany's Final Stroke. "There will be no use in sending troops to the Balkans after German aims have been accomplished. "Germany has invaded Belgium and parts of France and Russia and now is attempting the same in the near east. "If she wins in this latter quarter, she will dig herself in and fortify her lines as in Belgium, France and Russia. Then her game will be to sit back, considering her part done. "The allies must not let Germany do this and the way to defeat the Ger man plans is not to consider the west ern line all important but to fight the Germans wherever the Germans carry the fight."

I They have dragged a score of men into the limelight, but few if any of them quite measured up to the demands of all factions in the party. Each new hope seemed to carry some political blemish that occasioned, object'on from a Jealous or rival faction within the party. By the time all of the Democratic factions had been con sulted, the list of available candidates had been exhausted. Then someone suggested President Waters for the governorship. At first, it is said, Waters laughed and refused to listen. Later he thought more sei I ously of the matter. Within the last two weeks, it is reported, he has written- to a close personal friend in which he indicated that he would not side step a governorship nomination if it came without a fight. Rival Tactions. All of which may or may not set tle the controversy in Democratic ranks President Waters, while a sin cere Democrat, has never been suffi ciently active in political affairs to arouse the enmity of rival factions. When the political battles were the most bitter and intense, President Waters recalled that some of his of ficial duties in connection with tVe agricultural college needed attention. In that manner, he slipped by the din ger zones of a number of red hot Kansas political battles. Now, it seems, Waters is to be offered as the compromise and harmony con didate of the Democrats in their next campaign. At least. President Waters has permitted his name to be used suf ficiently to Justify the suspicion that he will not run from a nomination. With Waters in the race. Kansas Democrats believe that national lead ers will take an unusual interest in the contest in this state and that Waters will be able to draw some of the big league talent to Kansas dur ing the campaign. For back in Washington, be it known. President Waters of Kansas is a fence breaker in the Judgment of the national ad ministration. Following the election of President Wilson, the selection of Waters to a place in the president's cabinet was seriously considered. In fact. Presi dent Waters lost the place which was won by Secretary Houston by the most narrow margin. Later Waters received a special commission to the Philippine Islands and was mentioned for a place on the federal trades commission un til Kansas lost recognition by backing too many candidates. NO PAROLE FOR BUCK Governor Capper Declines to Extend Clemency to Kiowa Co. Man. Governor Capper today declined to grant a parole to Dr. G H. Buck of Kiowa county, convicted in 1911 for wife murder. The action of the gov ernor followed a thorough investiga tion of the facts surrounding the case. The application for a parole for Dr. Buck has been pending for some months. Governor Stubbs and Gov ernor Hodges both declined to take ac tion in the case and Governor Capper was appealed to. Lengthy briefs were submitted in the case and the question of a parole has been underconsidera tion since last summer. Dr. Buck was convicted of first de gree murder, following his arrest on a charge of killing his wife. It was asserted by the state that Buck gavo the woman cyanide poison which resulted in her death a few minutes after the dose was administered. Claims that Dr. Buck had killed a former wife in Kentucky were not es tablished. The evidence in the Kiowa county case was so conclusive, how ever, that Governor Capper declined to set aside the verdict of the Jury. "There may be an element of doubt In the case," said the governor today, "but in view of the evidence which has been presented and the time given in which attorneys for Dr. Buck might make a showing, I see no reason why I should do otherwise than decline to grant clemency." Dr. Buck was sent to prison from Greensburg, Kan. He was sentenced to life imprisonment. AUTOS COLLIDE HEAD ON Miss Christine Wilson Is Severely Cut by Broken Glass. Miss Christine Wilcox, 1112 Kansas avenue, a stenographer in the office of George T. Staebler, was severely cut about the head by flying glass last night when two automobiles came together in a head on collision, on a bridge on West Sixth street. Miss Wilcox was taken to St. Francis hospital, where her injuries received attention. Miss Wilcox was with Otto Blaheut, an employee at the state printing plant, who was driving west. As he reached the bridge the lights of the other car blinded him so he slowed down and turned to one side of the road, but as only one of the other car's lights was lit, he misjudged its position and the automobiles met in a head-on 'ollision. The driver of the other car was Cecil Howes, a newspaper correspon dent, 1418 West street, and with mm were R. C. Reed, 928 West street, Mrs. Howes and her sister, Miss Grace Vreeland. Blaheut lives at the Y. M. C. A. RATTTURNONIjAS House at 1210 Kansas Avenue Is Damaged by Fire. Fire in the home of Mrs. J. T.

A part of the roof of the house was destroyed ana much of the contents was soaked with water. The damage to the building was approximately $150. George Reuter is owner, xne ouiiaing was insured. A small fire was discovered in the plant of the Kaw Package Manufac turing company, Curtis and Quincy streets, at 9 o'clock. It was extin guished before the fire department ar rived. A fire of unknown origin was found in the home of Concepcione Marez, 216 Hancock street, Friday afternoon. It resulted in damage amounting to $150. Last March a similar fire oc curred in the same room, but was ex tinguished without damage. There was no- stove in the room, and the cause of the fire is not known. WHERE DID MONEY GO?

Attorney General Has Made a Ruling to That Effect. If you suspect that your neighbor owns a ease of beer, go to the county clerk's office and confirm your sus picions. You have a perfect right to do so under the ruling of 8. M. Brew ster, attorney general, who holds that records of liquor shipments are pub lic property. Brewster's ruling is in conflict with an opinion by John S. Dawson while he was attorney general. The opinion is also in conflict with provisions of the Webb-Kenyon act, but Brewster believes the position which he has taken will be supported by the su preme court. Recently Brewster sought an opinion from federal de partments in Washington concerning the right of the public to inspect rec ords of liquor shipments. The United States attorney general declined to render an opinion to an individual. With the Brewster opinion, temper ance workers will secure the results desired under the Caudill bill, intro duced in the 1915 session of the legis lature. Representative Caudill pro posed to make the liquor shipment records open to inspection by interest ed and inquisitive individuals. The legislature killed the bill. The Brewster opinion is based on the theory that intoxicating liquor is contraband in Kansas and for that purpose liquor dealers have no rights under the law. The federal act seeks to protect records of liquor shipments on the theory that a firm's business affairs are private and not subject to inspection by competitors. Since the liquor traffic is not recognized under the laws of Kansas, Brewster contends that when a report of a liquor ship ment is filed with the county clerk by the express company, that an in dividual may inspect the record. Copies of the ruling will be mailed to all county attorneys and county clerks. H. S. PLAYS AT ST. JOE McLean's Warriors Battle With Strong Missouri Team This Afternoon. St. Joseph, Mo., Oct. 30.

Chicago, Oct 30. WHEAT Wheat prices took a down turn today owing to fine weather that seemed to promise lib eral receipts. Selling pressure, though was not heavy, and the offerings were readily absorbed. Continuance of strength at Liv erpool acted as a check on the bears. Opening prices, which ranged from 4V4c off to c up, with December at $1.02 to $1.03 and May at $1.04 to $1.04, were fol lowed by a material decline all around. Subsequently, assertions that Rumania would join the Angle-French allies tended to give the market a further setback. Moreover, primary receipts for the week said to break all records. The close was unsettled, e to l-c net lower, with December at $1.01 and May at S1.03H. CORN Corn, like wheat, felt the bearish effect of favorable weather, commission house buying was moderately good, but served onlv as an offset in part. After opening unchanged to ?l4c lower, the market Tallied slightly, but then sagged agNo1'lmportant rally ensued. The close was steady at 3e to c net decline. OATS Oats proved relatively firm. The chief influence was demand from the sea board. PROVISIONS Higher prices on hogs strengthened provisions.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL SATURDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 30, 1915. RAILROADS WORK COUNTS UP E. P. Ripley Adyises Young Men to Stick to It, "Make Your Employer's Inter ests Yours and Dig." HIS CAREER A MODEL TO ALL Dean of American Railroad Men Is 70 Today. Other Items of General Interest in the Traffic World. Make your employer's interests your own and work hard! That is the advice to the country's young men from Edward Fayson rlip lev. resident of the Santa Fe, who celebrates his seventieth birthday to day. It is the motto which earned him through 4 8 years in the railroad business, takine him from the bottom as a young man of 22 to the dean of American railroad presidents at 7 0 Mr. Ripley was in Topeka Thursday to attend the annual meeting of Santa Fe stockholders. He is a man who dislikes to talk about himself or his career. But when approached by a reporter he said he migit say some thing to the thousands of young men who are where he was 48 years ago at the beginning of their careers. Happened Into Work. "I just happened Into the railroad business," he said, "but once in it I made my employer's business my own. I worked hard. The opportunity is the same for the young fellow of to day, if he follows the same motto. The railroad industry is far from full grown. There is every possibility that It will grow as much in the next 4 8 years as it has in the time I have been in it. There is plenty of room for men who will work." And at 70, is he preparing to step out? "Not until I find that it is a burden too heavy for me to carry," Mr. Riple? said. "I don't feel it a burden now. I believe a man needs something to oc cupy his mind." Mr. Ripley exploded one idea almost at the very outset of the interview. He didn't begin life playing: with toy en gines, follow that up with boyhood inspections of railroad yards, and then go to work in a railroad office with the fixed plan to become a railroad president. As he explained, he just happened into the railroad business. But once in it, he stuck. He made his employer's interest his own. His rise was not made over night it came eteadily. gradually but surely. And he didn't stop until he was at the top. Fascinates Him. "Perhaps the railroad business does have a peculiar fascination that holds men to it," Mr. Ripley admitted. "I always find a glamour in it that held me. But in any business a man should stick in it if he wants to get up. "I used to carry bundles larger than myself around the streets of Boston," Mr. Ripley said. He was smiling. That was my first job, just after I had finished high school. It was with a dry goods house. Later I was pro moted to shipping clerk." It was this position that opened the avenue into the railroad business. He made the acquaintance of railroad agents. "One day one of the railroad men offered me a job," Mr. Ripley said. "It was at a much better salary than I was getting. So I told mv emolov- ers. They said they could afford to pay me Just as much, so they gave me a raise. And I held onto the job. So, you see, I almost missed the railroad business even then. But a year later I had another offer from a railroad. Again a better salary was offered, and my employer didn't see fit to meet it. So I otarted into railroad work. That was in 18 67." Started With Pennsy. It was with the Pennsylvania rail road in the Boston office that Mr. Ripley went to work. His position was that of freight solicitor. "The situation was somewhat dif ferent then," Mr. Ripley explained. "All merchants from the west came east in those days to buy their goods. Boston was a great center of trade and there was keen competition for freight business. In this position I was able to learn a great deal about railroad routes and conditions, and I made a special study of geography." Two years later the young man went to work in the same capacity for tho Burlington road Then he became clerk to the eastern agent of the road. Going through the position of New England agent he himself became general eastern agent in 1875. Three years later he went to Chicago as gen eral freight agent of the Burlington. He Advanced Rapidly. Mr. Ripley advanced to traffic man ager. Ten years after going to the western city he was made general manager. In 1890 he went to the Chicago, Milwaukee St. Paul and for five years held the office of third vice president. Late in 1895 the Santa Fe found itself in troubled waters. It went Into the hands of a receiver. There was a search for a master hand that could take the wreck and raise it. E. P. Ripley became president of the road January 1, 1896. And Ripley brought tb.3 road out of a mass of wreckage to a model for the railways of the country to follow. How did he do it? Other railroad officials will say that it Is because he is through and through a railroad man. Perhaps they will be more explicit by saying that they mean he Is strictly a trans portation man that as a railroad president he is so busy building up transportation excellence and effi ciency that he doesn't find time to give attention to the Wall street end of the railroad business. killed were school boys, 'hopping trains, and a large percentage were valuable wage-earners, walking on the tracks to or from their work. Very few were tramps in the commonly ac cepted meaning or the term. "These figures refer solely to per sons walking on tracks, swinging on trains, and otherwise intruding on railway property where they have no right or business and do not include nersons killed at crossings or inose who for any reason have a right or duty to go upon railway property. MEETLVG IS IMPORTANT. Railway Development Association Will Discuss Industrial Matters. Indications are that the semi-annual meeting of the Railway Develop ment association, which will be held in New York, November 9, 10 and 11, will be the most important in the his tory of the organization, bringing to gether railroad and government offi cials and business interests to consider industrial and agricultural develop ment and commercial activity in gen eral. The program which has been completed under the direction of John C. Emig, president, and H. O. Hartzell secretary, points to a meeting which because of the wide range of subjects for discussion will be of interest in business circles generally. The Railway Development associa tion is composed of railroad officials of the United States and Canada who are engaged in promoting industrial and agricultural growth for their re spective managements; and with the program this year including bankers and other outside business interests as well as government officials It la be lieved that the coming meeting in New York will mark an epoch in this work. Being international in scope, meetings are held in different sections each year in order to enable the mem bership to study general business con ditions. The last meeting was held at St. Paul, Minn., it being the plan to have the railroad men inspect the shipping facilities, export terminals, etc., in New York and examine also transit facilities in Manhattan. G. C. Dana, of Chicago, industrial commissioner of the Santa Fe and well known here, is on the program. LET A BIG RAIL ORDER. B. O. Lets Contracts for 02,500 Tons or Steel Rails. Contracts have been let by the Bal timore Ohio railroad for 62,500 tons of rails for immediate delivery. The orders were placed with the Maryland Steel company, Cambria Steel com pany, Carnegie Steel company and the Illinois Steel company. Practically all of the rail will be used for replace ment in the company's main lines, be ing of heavy type, weighing 100 pounds to the yard. The order supplements contracts let by the Baltimore &s Ohio during the summer for equipment and rails which cost approximately $3,500,000. Increased activity in the buying of steel rails has been noted for some time. GUN PLATFORM ON TOP Zeppelins Equipped With Anns to light Aeroplanes. Geneva, Switzerland, Oct. 30. The latest Zeppelin airship constructed at Friedrichshafen differs from its prede cessors, according to details from Romanshorn on the Swiss side of Lake Constance, in only one important fea ture and two minor changes. A small platform has been provided on the top of the balloon for a cannon to protect the ship from aeroplanes and the speed has been increased by an additional propeller and motor. Owing to this extra weight, however, the carrying power of the Zeppelin is di minished. The new airship is of a slate color. The total cost of this latest airship is $500,000, double the cost of the first Zeppelins produced. It is reported from Germany that the greatest difficulty in the use of Zep pelins is the lack of capable pilots, most of the best men having been killed or made prisoner. WILL PROMOTElAVING Parliamentary Committee Issues Text Book of Economy In England, London, Oct. 30. "Saving means spending less than we get," is the maxim around which the parlia mentary war savings committee has built up a text-book of economy which it will distribute broadcast throughout Great Britain with the aim of teaching Englishmen how to help most the cost of the war. The instruction given is practical and ele mentary. The people must buy less from abroad and sell more. They should "travel by train, omnibus, and tram car as little as possible," thus setting free for state service the labor of those who work these means of transport, and saving coal and gaso line. Everything they can grow or raise for themselves "in the form of vegetables, wheat, chickens, rabbits, beef, mutton, etc., is a gain to the county." There must be "a revolution In national habits."

THE LURE OF THE TIES. One Hundred and Forty-Seven South ern Railway Trespassers Killed. Washington, D. C, Oct. 30. Making a plea for the conservation of human life. President Fairfax Harrison of Southern Railway company states that during the fiscal year, ended June 30, 147 trespassers were killed on the tracks of the Southern Railway. Mr. Harrison urges the development of a public sentiment that will put an end to the hazardous practice of trespas sing on railway property. "We have prepared a map showing the point at which each trespasser was killed on the Southern Railway during the last year and it looks like a map of the monuments on the Chickamauga battlefield," said Mr. Harrison. "Fully one-third of those The Greenbaum store will move about November S from its temporary location at 824 Kansas avenue to U.e remodeled building at 605 Kansas avenue.

PRAIRIE FIRE AT FORT RILEY. Buildings Endangered But Soldiers Fought Flames. was killed, by an automobile while crossing the street here Friday after noon. She died forty-five minutes after the accident. Both the front and back wheels passed over her chest, injuring her Internally. FUNERAL OF JUDGE GILLETT. Many Kansans Go to Kingman to Pay Last Respects. Kingman, Kan., Oct. 30. The fun eral of District Judge P. B.

Ex-senators, congressmen and other prominent men from Wichita, Hutch inson and Topeka were present. Two wagon loads of flowers were received by the family from all over the state from friends. The stores of Kingman, Anthony, Pratt and other towns In the judicial district were closed during the funeral hour. IN HOLY CRUSADE Britons Think United States Should Join in War. Glasgow Man Writes Interest ing Letter to Topeka Relatire. Junction City, Kan., Oct. SO. A large section of the military reserva tion at Fort Riley has been devastated by a prairie fire that started and con tinued through the night Friday. The fire started on. Pawnee flats, where the annual maneuvers and encamp ments of the Kansas National Guard regiments are held, and it was feared for a time that the cook shacks, bath houses and other frame buildings that are standing on the maneuver ground would be burned. The fire swept through this section without doing any damage. A detachment of soldiers fought the flames. That Britons do not understand why Uncle Sam has not pitched his hat into the ring in which the powers of Europe are now mauling each other is apparent from a letter received re cently by Mrs. David Amell, of 914 North Monroe street, from her cousin, Peter Fyfe, chief sanitary inspector of Glasgow, Scotland. In his letter Mr. Fyfe declares to his cousin "what a shame it is that America has not engaged in the holy crusade that the Allies are now waging." Mr. Fyfe along with his letter sent a report recently prepared by him dealing with the effect of the war on the duties and responsibilities of local authorities and read by him at the forty-first annual congress of the In corporated Sanitary association of Scotland. In it he tells of prepara tions made by sanitary officers on the British Isles to cope with problems that presented themselves when war was declared and great armies were collected. While thousands of persons were thrown out of employment in England and Scotland immediately after war was declared, labor conditions in Glasgow are far from discouraging. Numerous industries engaged in ship building, iron and steel making and various other trades having a part in the manufacture of war materials are located in the city and the volume of business that followed the beginning of the war gave employment to hun dreds of men in Glasgow who before the war were without means of ob taining a livelihood. Women have not been so fortunate, however. Certain trades in which many of them were employed were heavily hit by the war and more than a thousand women In Glasgow were thrown out of employment. The local Labour Bureau immediately set about to find work for them and already positions for many of them have been secured in Parkhead and Alexandria In shell factories. KANSAS GIRL KILLED BY AUTO.

The toil of young officer is especially heavy lust now, as the subalterns, of Kitchener's army, which is at last in action, are in great part lads out of the upper schools and colleges. Recent casualty lists show, to take one example, that out of 182 officers killed in action, 102 were under thirty years of age and of theso eighty were under twenty-six years. There were five aged eighteen years. ten aged nineteen, thirteen aged twenty and fifteen agea twenty-one years. They included the sons of lawyers, clerevmen. military officers, doctors and members of parliament. Thirty- one of the lost were only sons. U. S. GETSSCOOPS German Official 5fews Giyen to American Papers. iff ATHENS OF KANSAS ORATE ON PEACE Many Contestants in State Association This Year, Winner Will Hare Chance Gain National Fame. to WASHBURN TRYOUTS NOV. 2 Answer to Protest Published in Frankfort Zeitung. Amsterdam, Oct. 30. The Ger man newspapers have widely re produced an article in the Kiel Nach richten, complaining over the alleged tendency of the governmentrfo give out news to the American papers which ought first to have-appeared In the German press. A reply to the com plaints has now been made through the semiofficial Frankfort Zeitung. The Kiel newspaper referred par ticularly to the laudatory announce ments relative to the success of the third war loan, which were made by Dr. Helfferich, secretary of state for finance, through the medium of the American newspaper correspondents. In reply the Frankfort paper de clares among other things, that the Helfferich announcement was made in America chiefly with a view to in fluence public opinion there against the British loan which was then pend ing. "Such complaints," says the re ply, "prove that a large seStion of the German public has but little under standing for what real politics render necessary and appropriate. The state ment of the secretary of state for finance was primarily Intended not for the German public but for foreign countries and especially for the United States, where England was making desperate efforts to float a loan. "When efforts are made at such a moment to show the American people how strong the economic situation in Germany is. the action seems so sagacious and such a matter of course that it is surprising that anyone should dare to speak of preference being shown to the foreign press. It was most essentially a matter of political expendiency that Dr. Helfferich's statement should be made direct to the American newspapers. "Moreover, the German foreign of fice has often found it prudent to use the foreign press as its mouthpiece." In closing, the article bids the German editors remember that "our living statesmen did only what the great Bismarck did, especially during the war of 1870. Bismarck knew perfect ly well why he accorded a privileged position to the representative of an English newspaper." STOPWOMEN DRINKING An ti-Treat Law Considered. Imposi tion In London Slums. Ichabod Orator Made a Good Showing Last Year. All Orations Must Deal With Subject of Peace. Will the Democrats flunk when they attempt to put a full party ticket in the field for the next county election? That they will, is the prophecy made with unholy glee by old line Repub licans. And the self-same Repub licans are jubilant over the forest of political timber that they are exhibit ing. The Democrats, it is known, are Just a little bit worried over the situation themselves. But they say that a full ticket will be put in the field. In the meantime they are looking for a David to maneuver against the prac tically solid county Republicans and break up their formation. The court house will be solid Republican after the next election, say Republican wire pullers. Maybe, is the sarcastic retort hurled back by the Democratic ele ment, despite the fact that there is only one Democratic county official, W. E. Atchison, county attorney, at present. Plurality of 7,000. The Republicans cite a plurality of 7.000 votes at the last election. So far. the Republicans have from one to a half dozen candidates lined up for every office at the court house. The Democrats well, they say it's early yet. Despite the fact that the primary lection is a long time off nearly eight months the Republican scram ble for county nominations is on, with a rush that is fast developing into a landslide. Fences are being built and handshaking is again coming into its own. Results in a county campaign are not hinged upon issues as are na tional and state. The personal ele ment enters into the scramble and the Innocent voter will be amply reminded that there is a primary election com ing off before next August. Two county commissioners' chairs are going to be open for the choice of the Shawnee county voter. Fred Kipps who occupies the office for the Second district probably will run again but has made no definite decision. J. C. Shimer, commissioner from the Third district, will not run for re-election. Already there, has been a mad scram ble to get In the line for Shimer's of fice. Candidates In the Field. Candidates who are in the field are: J. T. Duncan, Henry McAfee, Ed Buck man and John Troutman. Duncan lives at Wakarusa and is secretary of the Republican central committee. He Is a farmer and stockman. Henry McAfee is a prominent stockman and agriculturist living a short distance west of Topeka. Ed Buckman is a Mission county farmer, while Trout man is at present trustee of the To peka township board. And the taxpayers are going to de vote a little more interest than usual to those county commissioners' jobs. Just at present, there is a J27.0C0 deficit In the county finances. In the last six months the commission room has been, figuratively speaking, in the limelight, and subject to sundry mut terings and rumbles growing out of financial questions. And when primary time the time for the survival of the fittest rolls around what? The wildest prophet in the game refuses to attempt to pick the winners. Meanwhile the sun shines bright for a Republican court house at the election maybe, say the Democrat. London, Oct. 30. The no-treating law now enforced in the London dis trict will from present indications de crease drinking among women, for it is among the women of the lower classes that treating is the most pre valent. Even in the most poverty stricken slums of the East End, a woman who drinks by herself is con sidered mean, greedy and unsocial and she is accordingly ostracized. The only social life among these women is at the public houses. At all times of the day, they may be seen around the bars or In the street in front with beer glasses in hand. Since the law prevents minors entering the bar rooms, the women with babies in their arms stand outside for their drinks. But often children tend to the babies while the mothers and grandmothers are inside. Settlement workers count on taking advantage of the new liquor regula tions by starting more social halls. A number of these are in operation in the slums now, and their popularity is growing. They were especially de signed for soldiers and their girls as a cheap place to spend an evening. Every college and university in the state of Kansas will take part in the oratorical contest conducted by the Kansas Intercollegiate Peace associa tion this winter. The orations are ail to be on "Peace" or some phase of the subject, and the winner will enter the sectional contest which is made up 3f winners from Kansas, Missouri, Ne braska, Oklahoma and South Dakota Washburn Student Won. If he wins there he may enter the national contest at Lake Mohonk, N. Y. Roy Painter, a law student of Washburn won fourth place In the na tional contest last May. The winner of the state oratorical contest will receive a prize of $75, the second best man will get $50. Prizes grading downward to fifth place, go to every man in the national contest and help defray carfare and expenses. The winner gets $100. The Kansas schools that will ent-jr this huge peace contest are: Baker university. Southwestern college. Col lege of Emporia. Fairmount college. Cooper college, Washburn college, Kansas Wesleyan, Ottawa university, Emporia Normal, Kansas State Ag ricultural college, the Fort Hays Nor mal, Kansas university and Pittsburg Normal. Can Orate Sixteen Minutes. The contestant has to have a six teen minute original oration and be a student in good (standing in college. There must be four contestants in each college. The state contest will be held in the spring, date and place indef inite as yet, according to Professor E D Shonberger, professor of English and public speaking at Washburn col lege, who is state chairman. Tryouts for the Washburn contest ants will be held the evening of No vember 2 at the Washburn chapel. Thj four men entered are Will Guild, Clif ford Hope, Will Buret and Arthur Beattie. Roy Painter, the law stu dent who won last year, is disbarred from further competition. Thirty-five states are represented In the oratorical contest, ranging from Maine to California. Last year first place was awarded to Boston univer sity, Pittsburg received second, Indi ana third", Washburn college fourth Oklahoma fifth and California sixth place. The prizes are offered by east ern parties, among them several mil lionaires, including Andrew Carnegie. Arthur Capper gave a state prize of $50 last year. Object of Contests. The idea of holding the countrywide contests is to get college people inter ested and read up on the subject of peace. It is expected that the influ ence exerted by all the schools over the country working on the same sub ject will prove a valuable asset to tha cause of peace. Charles F. Thwine, president or Western Reserve university at Cleve land, is president of the National In tercollegiate Peace association. Steph en F. Weston, professor of economics at Antioch college, Tellow Springs, Ohio, Is executive secretary.

DON'T PAY ENOUGH Wealth of Britons Would Easily Pay War Cost. Sir Edward Clarke Adrocates Income Tax Increase. Annual District Sessions Announced by V. W. Bowman. Annual district meetings of the Kansas Bankers' association will be held in November in Leavenworth, Pittsburg, Winfield, Hutchinson, Olathe and Ellsworth. The meetings, which ill be attended by the mem bers of the association in the sur rounding territories, In the main, are for the purpose of discussing local banking problems. Plans also will be made for the next state meeting to be held In Salina in May. W. W. Bowman, state secretary, as serted today that the federal reserve act, mortgage legislation and the edu cation of young men who are learn- London, Oct. 30. Sir Edward Clarke, the great English legal authority, is of the opinion that the accumulated wealth of the country, which he says is "amply sufficient to pay for four or five times over the es timated cost of the war" is not con tributing its proper share to the war taxes. There la one large part of that ac mitniilatEd wealth which during the lifetime of its owner pays nothing at all to the national exchequer, no writes. "I refer to the enormous sum which Is represented by the stores of works of art, furniture, dooks, piaie, china, glass and Jewelry which are to be found in the houses of well-to-do people. The pleasure and comfort and the advantages in social position which man or woman derives from these is as much an annual profit as the dividends would be If they were sold and the money Invested in stocks or shares. "T Kiie-e-eRt that the owners of prop erty of this kind should be obliged to make a statement of its value, and where that exceeded say 300 pounds ($1,500) four per cent on mat sum should be treated as Income and add ed to the owner's assessment for In come tax. This would bring in a very large immedia.te revenue, and a stiu greater benefit would be that we should have a register of the property on which a levy might afterwards be made." Having laid his scourge on the wealthv class. Sir Edward proposes to tax one of the little vanities of the middle-class which finds expression in bestowine fancy names on their homes. "Rows of small dwellings can be seen where no street number appears on door or gate, but some aristocratic or romantio name has teen adopted," he says. "The smaller the house the more splendid its title." He would make those who put on airs in this fashion pay $5 a year for the privilege. CHIEF HANLON A SISSY? Well, His Family Thought He Was for a While Anyway. Joseph Hanlon, chief of the fire de partment, has been staging a "Bring up Father" stunt. A week ago the chief appeared at his home wearing a wrist-watch. Mrs. Hanlon and son Edmond didn't lose any time in ex pressing their disapproval of the chief's "sissy" action. And when the chief tried to explain that a wrist watch was a great convenience to him, matters were not improved. "There are lots of times," said the chief, "when I am in a hurry, going to a fire or directing things at a fire, when I haven't time to reach in my pocket and pull out my watch to see what time It is. But now all I need to do is just look at my wrist." Edmond snorted and Mrs. Hanlon grew purple. "And just because they were trying to boss mo and tell me what I should wear, I had to go Through with the thing," explained the chief, "so when ever I went home I put that watch on my wrist. But I got in worse every day and finally had to give up." Then the chief explained that he had promised to take the wrist-watch, which belongs to Miss Hidur Nygren, his stenographer, to a jeweler for re pairs, and had placed it on his wrist as an aid to his memory. "When I saw what a stir it made at home, I had to have a little fun," he said.

NAMES IN SOCIETY COLUMN With Description of Dresses Worn Is Condemned. Fault Lies With the Parents Primarily, He Declares. The parepts of high school pupils an. neWBPapers are to blame for what H. B. Wilson, city superintendent or schools, believes is a bad condition existing in the high school. "The high school should be a dem ocratic Institution," says Superintend ent Wilson. "The children of poor parents or those of only moderate means, should feel just as much at home in the high school as those of more wealthy parents. Anything that makes it needlessly expensive for par ents to keep their children in school should be eliminated, and anything that causes the children to make ex pensive demands upon their parents in order that they may be as well dressed as others attending the high school should be discouraged. Any thing which stimulates rivalry in dress should be discouraged.

Instead of trying to make young ladies out of them ft th -nriov. to have a party that is all right, but let iuciu so nome at a reasonable hour and go to bed without making a splurge about It, just as children should.

"Helen Lucas was fifteen last April," commented the superin tendent, "and here is another fifteen-year-old, appearing in the newspapers u a society Dene," ana he read: A frock of white silk trimmed with roses was worn by Miss Marian Wil Hams." "Marian Williams was fifteen oia ine 2 in aay or last August.

"It is worse than bad taste, ne declares. "And while par ents are spending too much for ninths for the girls, they are not spending cuuusu on ins ooys. uress your boy more and your girl less, and cut out the society idea for the children and encourage the newspapers to do th same," is Mr. Wilson's advice to par ents.

London, Oct. 30. The Bank of England's system of valuing gold coins by weight as against the United States treasury's face value computation has saved the former $30,000 on only two shipments to America. The first shipment on reaching New Tork was counted coin for coin and found to contain $10,000 too much. The last consignment of $19, 000,000 was $20,000 heavy. These amounts were turned over to the financial agents of Great Britain in New Tork and will be properly ap plied on future shipments. The American system of computing gold coins is for face value, it was pointed out here, unless more than one-half of one per cent has worn away.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOTJRN AL S A ttttd AY Evrrwr OCTOBER 30, 1915. 5 IN NORTHTOPEKA Union Facific Is Building Jet ties ear Calhoun Bluffs. Woman Loses $240 on a Union Pacific Train. Preliminary work has been com menced by the Union Pacific railway tor the building of jetties along Its racks near that portion of the Grant ville road, northeast of the city, that as"washed outlast summer. Outfit cars have already arrived and ma terial is being rushed here as rapidly as it can be obtained. The railway will build seven jetties on its right of way northeast of North Topeka. It may also put several jet ties on its property northwest of the city. It will take four months to complete the work, It is estimated. A number of North Topekans xtronly favored the re-building of the old Grantville road over exactly the same ground it covered before high water washed away a portion last summer, if arrangements could be made with the Union Pacific rail way. Negotiations apparently brought no results and the county commis sioners mapped out a new Grantville road which was opened last week. Her Supporter Slipped. The "Woman's National Bank" has lost another supporter. And it is due to the Inefficiency of a supporter that the confidence vanished. A young woman travelling on Union Pacific train No. 120, Thurs day morning, left the train to walk on the platform of a station before it stopped here. Before she stepped off the car, however, she deftly slid her hand over the improvised safety de posit vault and assured herself that $240 deposited there was still on deck. Shortly before the train pulled Into North Topeka her hand on resting over the 'safe" failed to detect the familiar buldge. A hasty examination proved that the "cash" was not there. Then she turned in the alarm. The $240 calmly resting In the rear end of the car was found by the Pull man conductor who returned it to the excited passenger. The money made the remainder of the trip in different quarters. Krnest B. Nash Is Dead. Following a long illness, Ernest B.

CONSIDINE IS BANKRUPT Reputed Magnate of Stage Admits He Has No Money. Seattle. Wash., Oct. 30. John Con sidine, member of the theatrical fir.n of Sullivan and Consiaine, who, a few years ago, was reputed a millionaire, testified in the superior court here to day that he was entirely without means and that he owed $800,000. "LET GEORGE 00 IT" Dr. Harding Protests Against the Im portation of Charity Workers. That Shawnee county is spending $6 to give $1 to charity, was the charge made against the Shawnee county commissioners at the commis sion meeting Friday by Dr. Eva Hard ing. Following a heated wrangle over the sins of commission and omission of the county board, as analyzed by Dr. Harding, Fred Nipps. chairman of the board, offered to set aside $300 a month for the use of any society that Dr. Harding could legally organize. Dr. Harding says the society will be organized. "The trouble with xopeKa cnanues is that they spend altogether too much inoostimftniF hfnrA JtCtintT." luviic; iuitoiiB""p Dr. Harding told the commissioners. "The county and city are spenaing n. lot of money in bringing socalled ex perts from other states when, if an in vestigator is really needed, there are dozens of persons right in Topeka wno know more about actual condi tions among the poor in a minute than the most of these imported ex perts know in an hour. "The county is hiring a board of commissioners and a poor commis sioner. Why not let them do the work instead of giving good county money to a bunch of charities that are spend ing more money on flapdoodle and fads which they appear to thmk are needed to investigate than they are giving to the needy poor." Dr. Harding cites that practically every investigator and active worker in Topeka charitable institutions is imported from other cities. ORDER By PHONE 100 TOWELING REJWANTS.

No more entertaining and exciting play has ever be!t" wirrbeTeen at the Grand today matinee and nighty "The Shepherd of the Hills." "The Shepherd of the Hills" will be the attraction at the Grand Tuesday matinee and night. November 2. The ernormous popularity of the Harold Bell Wright novels indicates that the sec ond annual engagement of this, his first play, will prove a greater popular success with patrons of this house than it did on its initial appearance last season. A Hawaiian Romance. That human hearts beat with the same love throb, whether they beat under the skins of brown or white, is one of the primary lessons of Richard Walton Tullv's celebrated Hawaiian drama. "The" Bird of Paradise,' which Oliver Monsco will present at the Grand Wednesday, November 3. The tragic episodes in this powerful heart play, are shown just because of that great universal instinct. Luana, the beautiful Hawaiian girl, passionately loves Paul Wilson, the American, who in turn as fervently loves her. But from the moment of his devotion to this lovely but sadly primitive little creature. Wilson not only loses caste, but he loses that essence of force and distinction which are his by right of birth and race. He finally realizes this fact, and then comes the tragedy Into his little sweetheart's life. In contradistinction Mr. Tully has drawn the devil-may-care beach-comber, Ten-Thousand-Dollar" Dean, who al though sunk to the lowest depths of degradation, yet has Rept his white soul clean, and who is finally saved by the teachings of a pure American girl, who brings him out of the depths and restores him to his manhood again. The lenthy cast is headed by Miss Carlotta Monterey, a newcomer in the part of Luana, but whom Mr. Morosco claims will be a revelation In th part. She will be assisted by Hoop er L. Atchlcy. as Paul Wilson; Rich ard Gordon, as Dean, the beach-comber; Jane Haven, as the American girl, Diana; Robert Morris, as Capt. Hatch; John Burton, as the missionary, and last but not least the native band of Hawaiian singers and players. Neil O'Brien. The San Antonio Express says: "Lovers of melodies old and new, and those who would have a genuine soul-racking laugh between whiles turned out in force Monday night to greet the old, but ever new, Neil O'Brien and his minstrels at the Grand opera house. It was a program with snap and punch, with never a dull moment and just long enough to bring that feeling of an evening well spent. "Whether it was the inimitable Neil himself, 'Lasses White or another who held the floor in comedy, the well tim bered bass of David Morris or the p'M fect high notes of James Baracli's tenor1 the audience was held in a grip of Intense Interest." Nell O'Brien will be at the Grand November 4. Lyman Hnm Just as the California expositions were built In celebration of Uncle Sam's eupreme maritime achievement the completion of the Panama canal, so has Lyman H. Howe in his own inim itable manner commemorated the r ORPHEUM THEATRE TODAY Misslrene Fenwick in The Sentimental Lady A Charming Five-Part Drama of Wall Street. Matinees .2:00, 3:15 Nights .7:00, 8:15, 9:30 same event by filming the canal in operation. This constitutes one of the big features of his Travel Festival which comes to the Grand November 11, 12 and 13, and also covers the ex positions both at San Francisco and San Diego. From this It may be safe ly inferred that joyous surprises await "Howe travelers" on the forthcoming engagement. "High Jinks." "High Jinks," the musical jollity which Arthur Hammerstein will pre sent at the Grand soon concerns it self with a magic perfume guaranteed to create general hilarity. This plot is thickened by the introduction of an irate Frenchman, a wandering grass widow, and a certain doctor whose amiable disposition prevents him from resisting the embraces of a fair fe male patient under the influence of the perfume. When the doctor, to appease the Frenchman whose wile he has kissed, agrees to introduce hi3 own wife, that he in her turn may be kissed by the Frenchman, a subfcti tue is deemed necessary. A friene who does the wrong thing at the rijht time further complicates the mudc-la of fun by introducing a professional dancer to act as the substitute. The hilarity mounts higher and higher as the complications become more and more tangled. Throughout it all there are freely sprinkled catchy melod'es, and a pretty chorus of Joyous girl3 adds to the liveliness with song and dance and laughter. At the Shubert. The management of the Shubert theater in Kansas City announces that Walker Whiteside, the famous star who numbers his followers by thou sands, through his performances in "The Melting Pot" and "The Ty phoon," will appear in his latest tri umph, "The Ragged Messenger," for the week beginning next Sunday eve ning, October 31. "The Ragged Messenger" has been playing" in the Princess theater, Chi cago, where it has created a wave of excitement that is remarkable for a theatrical production. Mr. Whiteside will bring the entire lavish produc tion and distinguished company here, the same company which, during the Christmas holidays, will present the play -in the Cort theater. New York, where "Peg o' My Heart" had its rec ord breaking run, exactly as it will be seen here. Mr. Whiteside appears in the part of John' Morton, a- militant clergyman who has left the church in order to got closer to the masses in the slums of London. While he is' delivering from street corners the message which in spires him, he is accosted by a g.rl who appeals to him to help. When some of his aristocratic friends re fuse to help the girl, he marries her. Then he falls heir to millions, left him by a remote relative. Hit. wife grows ambitious, but is thwarted ;n her dreams of luxury by Morton who Is resolved to give all the money to the poor. Hot? she dishonors herself tu be revenged on him, makes te breathlessly" exciting climax to the story. The play is fascinating in its con- iiipiiliiiili Carlotta Monterey as Luana in "The Kiwi of Paradise." ftWimiisTli lOrph m eum I Heater Monday and Tuesday The Powerful Emotional Actress KATHRYN OSTERMAN In a 5-Part Society Drama of Absorbing Interest Entitled "THE BLUDGEON" BY PAUL ARMSTRONG The Best is Worth Waiting For n VAUDEVILLE Starts Monday, November 1 See Monday's Evening Journal for Complete Announce ment of Our Vaudeville Program We Also Have Contracted For The Great Triangle Film Service And in Future the Production of the World's Greatest Moving Picture Directors GRIFFITH, INCEandSENNETT Will Be Shown Exclusively at 10c The Orpheum It Takes Xervc to Buy This Service and Charge Only For This Same Service in Other Cities Exhibitors Charge as High as One Dollar, But You Can See the Cream of Moving Picture Productions and Two Real Regular Vaudeville Acts At the Orpheum for a Dime u If u i oii.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL g A TTJFD AY FTT"r"'rrT" OCTOBER 30, 1915. DOT PUZZLE PICTURE "SfiN'S" SCR1T. SANTA FE NOTES. I Items for this department mar be phoned to 8815 or State Journal office. 3 A few of the Poi productions com ing are Theda Bara, In "Carmen;" Robert Mantell and Geneva Hamper, in -Blindness of Devotion;" Nance O'Neill in "A Mother's Love;" Theda Bara, in 'The Galley Slave;" Fred I'erry, in "The Family Stain." Geneva Hamper is said to be the most beauti ful erirl in the movies face, figure, et cetera. "A Mother's Love" is the screen version of "Madam X." Because of Its remarkable success at the Cohen theater. New York, the past week, "Mrs. Whitney's Fashion Show" is to be reproduced in motion pictures. W. L. Fleming, Novelty theater treasurer, spent last Sunday in Hol ton Kan. He walked around the town with a young lady, ate at a boarding house and did other devilish things. Margaret Illington is now on a tour of" the country in "The Lie.'? Her success in Chicago this fall has been exceptional. A Topeka man tells this story. He has a friend living in St. Louis who is quite wealthy. The St. Louisan a few weeks ago visited Universal City, Cal., while taking in the expositions. While strolling arpund the grounds a man tapped him on the shoulder and said, Line up at the window and get your 'time.' The rich Missourian was puzzled but did as he was requested. With a string of other men ue marched up to a window in a building and was hand ed a yellow envelope. In this envelope was $1.50. The St. Louis man pock eted the money and walked away. That was the nearest he ever came to "supe" in a movie company. The most interesting suggestion which has come forth this reason emanates from Marguerite McNulty, an ingenue, a young member of the dramatic fraternity but none he .-sss deeply interested in her art. Miss McNulty -makes the entirely feasible suggestion that each summer the mtmbers of the dramatic profession meet in a. sort of Chautauqua, here the leading members of the stage will be invited to address them on 3u,bjecia associated with the stage. The idea, appears to ap'peal strongly to a num ber of prominent players interviewed. An erroneous report was made this week regarding "The Unforgiven," a one reel Vitagraph film barred by Rev. Festus Foster, a film censor. The matter was taken up before the appeal board, the members of which sus tained Rev. Mr. Foster in his decision. Through a misunderstanding a report was made in the State Journal that Foster's decision was reversed by t.ie board. Walter K. Hill, better known as "Walthill," for many years connected with Variety, the Billboard and the Clipper, is now getting out a clever sheet himself in New York known as "Clip and Paste." The usual meth ods of eastern publicity men to get into western papers are discarded oy Hill in this new idea. Hill Is putting out in his publication a quantity of bright, newsy little stories, instead of filling up western waste baskets with cut and dried columns of mush. The trouble with the larger per cent of press agents is that their copy is too long and is filled with more adjectives than necessary. Georgo Kleine announces Edward Butterfield in "The Magic Skin," tak en from Faust. Butterfield may be remembered by Topeka theater goers as a Kansas. City, Mo., matinee idol. He was leading man in stock at the Auditorium theater and the ladies of the Missouri city were his friends. Mary Pickford will be seen here soon In "Madame Butterfly." Film critics say that the famous little actress never appeared to better ad vantage. The Electric theater has changed its name back to the Orpheum and vaudeville goes In Monday. The name "Orpheum" seems a little more nat ural than "Electric." Censoring 50 or more reels of pic tures a day is no sweet joke. The average person even a movie fan seldom sees more than 25 o.r 30 reels a week. Miss Carrie Simpson, who looks after the Paramount pictures, censors more feet of film in a day than many people see In a month. A letter to the president of the big gest republic from Pedro Font, presi dent of the littlest republic, which is Andorra, on the southern elope of the Pyrenees, arrived on the French liner Chicago. Dixie Hines, in writing to the State Journal from New York, says that Helen Haskell, who has been touring the United States in "Peg of My Heart" for two years, declares that her next tour will embrace this half-portion republic. Andorra is the only place on the map which has not been discovered by the booking agent for Oliver Morosco. The president of Andorra has an official title Syndic General. He represents less than 6, 000 people, nearly all peasants. The wealth of Andorra Is not represented in francs, but things for bodily com fort and the satisfaction of the ap petite. There is going to be a fight made on "The Birth of a Nation" before it can be shown in Kansas. This pic ture depicted by press and public everywhere as the greatest of modern productions Is booked for one week solid at the Grand In December. It is the first $2 photoplay ever presented here. "The Birth of a Nation" is taken from Thomas Dixon's work. "The Clansman." It deals with the reconstruction days of the south and Is stupendous In its stage settings. A large number of Topeka people, in- i eluding several railroad officials, saw the film in Chicago recently and pro nounced it the finest of the day. The fight on "The Birth of a. Nation" In Kansas will be made before the state movie censor, W. D. Ross, by the col ored people. They allege that the film will incite prejudice in the minds of cit izens. The picture was directed by the widely known D. W. Griffith. Dallas Anderson made his first ap pearance In the role of John Shand with Maude Adams in "What Every Woman Knows" at the Teck theater, Buffalo, last week. Cleveland and Cincinnati are the first important cities to witness this interesting re vival. Lew Nathanson has booked that monster feature, "Damaged Goods," for the Cozy, Monday and Tuesday, November 8 and 9. It was passed by the state censors with the secretary' of the board of agriculture and the head of the child hygiene department sit- 49 4rL ting on the criticism stage. "Damaged Goods" will be shown Topekans for 10 cents. It is a 50-75c-$l. 00 feature in other cities. There are nine reels of the picture. NEW TRIANGLE FILMS Orpheum Theater Announces New Pictures for House. Topeka movie enthusiasts will he in troduced to the latest in motion pic tures beginning November 7, when the Triangle pictures will be shown at the Orpheum theater, formerly the Elec trie, on West Eighth street, according i to an announcement made today. In 1 addition to these pictures, which are said to rival the Paramount produc tions, a vaudeville bill will be added to I the program. The vaudeville part of the program will begin next Monday but because of the releases the Triangle pictures will not be shown until November 7. "The Lamb," with Douglas Fair banks and "The Iron Strain," with Dustin Farnum, will be the two five reel features shown the first week. Charles H. Murray, in "A Game Old Knight," and Raymond Hitchcock, in "My Valet," two-reel comedies, will be shown the first week. These Triangle pictures, produced at the Griffith, Sennett, and Ince studios, are creating a sensation in the east where the prices for motion pic tures reach the top mark of $2. "The Birth of a Nation," which is a Griffith picture, has made a remarkable show- i ing in the motion picture world and is considered one of the most sensational films ever shown. Among the stars who appear in the Triangle films are Marie Doro, Billie Burk, Dorothy Gish, Dustin Farnum, Douglas Fairbanks, Eddie Foy, Frank Keenan, Raymond Hitchcock and Charles Murray. AT THfTHEATERS tContlnued from preceding Page.l At the Novelty. Sartorial Symphonists Is what the Charters Sisters and J. Frank Holliday call themselves and they present an act out of the old rut idea, called "The Shop Models and the Floorwalker." which will be a feature part of the vaudeville performance at the Novelty for the first three days of next week. Another act that is original in its con struction is "A Room Upside Down," presented by W. S. Harvey, who will be assisted by Madge Anderson. The Aerial Patts are the originators of some particularly daring stunts in mid-air. The other two acts are Wil liam Hallen and Ethel Hunter in a. skit called "Just for Fun," in which Miss Hunter plays the violin; and The Two Storys, Nelson and Elsie, who offer a singing, dancing and musical act. These two acts lay no claim to originality but it is said they will be made up of new material even if they are along conventional lines. The Paramount Travelogue is pro gressing nicely on the tour of South America and this week will make a visit to the Chilean capital, Santiago. At the Hip. A nice array of talent is offered at the Hip theater for the coming week. The feature for the first half will be the Seven Bobkers Arabs, "Sons of the Desert," a troupe of mad, whirl wind acrobats. Frar.cesca and Jackie, billed as Mile. Francesca and her edu cated parrots, will put over an inter esting act. For the last half of the week, starting Thursday, the three Rosaires appear in "An Elopement on the Wire." Charles and Madelyn Dunbar, high class vocalists, will pre sent "Father and the Girl." The pic ture play offerings will be for Mon day: "Neal of the Navy" and "Get Rich Quick Wallingford series-;" Tuesday and Wednesday: A Pathe Gold Rooster play, "Comrade John," with William Elliott and Ruth Bo land; Thursday and Friday, Marie Dressier in "Tillie's Tomato Surprise." Lambert Murphy. Lambert Murphy.the popular young American tenor, whose artistic career has developed with almost unprece dented rapidity and who has won the favor of the musical public by his sin cere effort, beautiful voice, engaging personality and sound musicianship, will give a recital in Topeka on No vember 8 which undoubtedly will prove one of the musical events of the season. The success of Lambert Murphy can be read between the lines of his career to date, which though covering but a short period, is nevertheless fraught with achievements. Starting from a small beginning, he has progressed steadily onward until today, he stands in the foremost rank of concert sing ers. After all success depends upon preparedness in which respect Mr. Murphy has been tested and proved. Whenever he has been called upon, he has always been ready and has never failed to rise to an occasion. At the Iris. One of the greatest features of the season, in fact one of the most sensa tional photo dramas that has ever been shown is being seen by thousands at the Iris theater today in "The Soul of Broadway."

DEFECTIVE EYESIGHT So Common It's Appalling; Protect Your Children With Electric Light. These fine October school days, the good old "golden rule" days of '.youth, (alas for the dyspeptic that named them "melancholy") thou sands of Topeka school children are tripping to school, poring over books that will enable them to be "masters of their fate." Wonder if their parents ever stopped to think about protecting their eyesight? They have bought books, tablets, pencils, shoes, cloth ing and lunch baskets, yet it never occurred to them to give their chil dren the very best light possible, which is electric light. Hundreds of school children In Topeka, no doubt, are studying their lessons every night by totally inadequate light that is injurious and damaging to their eyesight In the office of a Topeka eye specialist the other day, the writer was appalled at the number of people continually com ing In with defective eyes. All- were there for treatment. Parents, no matter how much 'education you give your chUd, you handicap him when you neglect his eyesight. i Give your children the very best light possible. They are entitled to it. Tou yourself are entitled to -it. This is the age of electricity, -not pine knots. Electrify -your home and use the most brilliant light of all.

F00TBALL TODAY Nebraska and Ames Stage the Big Valley Battle. Yale and Harrard Expected to Come Back Today. Kansas City, Mo., Oct. 30. Inter state contests hold the center of atten tion on the football gridiron of the Southwest today, although lesser con tests are attracting much attention owing: to their bearing on old rivalries or state championship claims. Of principal interest in the Missouri Valley is the Nebraska-Ames game at Ames, which will have a direct bear ing on the Missouri tiye for 1915. Ne braska expects to continue its vic torious march though the opposition which the Cornhuskers will have will be more formidable than in previous conference games this season. The meeting of Kansas and Okla homa at Norman, Okla., will afford an excellent comparison of strength be tween .Kansas and its old rival. Mis-. sourl. Washburn college and the Em- pona Normal school meet at Topeka this afternoon. Games on Kast. New York, Oct. 30. Whether the Harvard and Yale eleven have begun to improve after their defeats earlier In the season, was expected to be brought out In eastern gridiron battles today. Both blue and crimson teams will again face elevens capable of putting them to a severe test. Yale's chances of victory over the strong Colgate eleven at New Haven were regarded as dubious. Harvard men hope that the crim son team will show some of Its old time ability in the game with Pennsyl--ania state at Cambridge. In view of Pennsylvania state's victory over Penn sylvania the visitors were regarded as dangerous. Princeton looked for an easy victory over Williams at Princeton, while the Dartmouth eleven anticipated a hard battle with Amherst at Amherst. Big Nine Games. Chicago, Oct. 30. Four undefeated elevens in th-? Big Nine fought it out today to decide which pair of teams I rhail clash for the championsmp hon- j ors. The games brought together the University of Wisconsin and Chicago at Chicago, and Minnesota and Illinois at Champaign. The losers will be eliminated from the "Big Nine cham pion race. The games have been attracting much interest through the middle west as it has been years since two such important contests have been played In midseason. Some followers of the gridiron picked Wisconsin tj triumph over Chi cago but were reluctant to pick the probable winner of the Minnesota -Illinois contest. Illinois has shown un certain form in only one game when :t was tied by Ohio 8tate but since then the team has boen playing a smashing game. The injury to liar old Pogue, a veteran, has robbed Illi nois of some of its fighting strength, it was argued. but Coach Zuppke hoped to send him into thtf game whenever the Illinois got within strik ing distance of the Minnesota goal. Minnesota Strong. Minnesota, even without the serv ices of Solon, who was declared ineli gible, has rolled up big scores in its early season games and is regarded as one of the strongest teams ever de veloped at the university.- The eleven averages close to 180 pounds to the man and has the advantage over Illi nois in weight. Wisconsin, because of an advantage in weight and power of WEBSTER KNOCKED OUT. When it comes to a battle be tween pugilistic promoters and old Noah Webster the latter Is always outclassed. In a recent bid for publicity the English longuage was counted out as follows: "Nevt Saturday evening at the Critical A. C. (3) three start ten round bouts in the star ten (10) of the evening John Hine who has not boxed in a couple of months will swop punches with that tough light-weight Tabasco Bill. In the second ten of the evening Sailor Samson will meet Joe Dinny, Dinny. This bout promises to be a sure enough slugging bee. The last bout of the evening will bring to gether Torry Mike who has beaten everybody that he has met In his last ten bouts will meet that tough welterweight Jim Pooke, Pooke Is training like a trojan for this bout as it will mean a hout with the present Champion, this card aught o satisfy any boxing fan, thanking you in advance I remain."

Illinois won the championship last year. defense was expected to humble Chi cago although experts predicted a close score. Chicago might spring a surprise, however, as it was argued that Coach Stagg has not revealed a single trick play in any of the early season games. His players have relied on straight football for victory, and have been content to win a low score. Haskell vs. Texas A. and M. Dallas, Tex., Oct. 30. What was ex pected to be a hard fought gridiron battle will be played here today as a part of the state fair athletic program between the football teams of the Texas Aggies and Mechanical college and th Haskell Indians of Lawrence, Kan. Football critics say there will be a sharp contrast in the playing of the two teams as the Indians have scored several' victories during the season by jies- preateRt strength seems to be in their line work. The Indians point to their game with Notre Dame as the criterion by which their football should be judged. Since his severe accident at South Bend.

Knglish lightweight, was ac corded the newspaper decision by a shade over Charley White, Chicago, in a. sensational ten-round bout here Fridiv night. Popular opinion con- ceded Well? the winner. White start ed terrific loft and right drives, but th? shifty Briton picked them off his gloves and retaliated with overhand swing" that connected with the Chi os goan's face. Persistent holding on the part of Wells when his opponent tried to fight him off counted against Wells for a clean cut decision. Cliifeds Want Minor Farm. Beaumont, Texas, Oct. 30. Joe Tinker, of the Chicago Federal league, has wired Ed Stedman, president of the Beaumont, Texas league club, agreeing to purchase the local fran chise if the sale would be recognized by the league. Tinker stated in his telegram that he would use the Beau mont club as a farm for youngsters signed by the Chicago Federals. Helton Wins From Ilorton. Horton.

(By Clug.) Washburn will play only one more game in Topeka this season that with the Aggies November 12. This afternoon's game was scheduled to be gin at 3 o'clock. Already talk of electing a next year captain is being started at th Ichabod school. Sam Stewart seems to be con sidered one of the most logical pros pects. It is not very likely that ex-President O'Neill will be put to much both er entertaining the Western League club owners at his proposed Chicago meeting tomorrow. The opinion seems to be that it will be a solitaire affair. Joe Stecher's defeat of "Baltimore" Americus at Lincoln Thursday night is said to have been no surprise to Nebraskans. In the Cornhusker state they seem to think Stecher could throw the kaiser's prize bulL The coming week's football card will contain some Interesting games and some important ones, too. Of course. the local battle of importance will be between Washburn and K. TJ. at Law rence Saturday. No one is conceding Washburn an outside chance of winning, but a vic tory for the Ichabods today and a defeat for the Jayhawkers at the hands of Oklahoma, it was conceded, would narrow the chasm between the two teams considerably. A large delegation of Topekans are making arrangements to go to Law rence to see this game, and It is prob able special trains will be run. The Washburn players will be presented with their new blankets before the game. The big Intersectlonal game will be between Cornell and Michigan at Ann Arbor. With Cornell touted to win the eastern championship, the Wol verines would do much to redeem their season's record if they should slip over a victory. In the east the big game of the coming week will be between Prince ton and Harvard at Princeton. Th dope on these two teams would indi cate Princeton's chance of winning to be unusually good. The Haskell Indians will hit the hardest bump on their schedule next Saturday, when they play the Univer sity of Chicago at Chi. Yale will op pose Brown ai New Haven Saturday. The coming week's play in Kansas will begin Tuesday when Coach O'Rourke's St. Marys eleven attempts to stop Dr. Weede's whirlwind Coop erites. Unless the Catholics can stop them, the Cooper players are likely to hang up an undefeated record. Jumbo Stiehm's Nebraskans will practice on Nebraska Wesleyan Sat urday in preparation for the K. U. game Nov. 13. The Aggie schedule for the first week in November calls for a game with Friends at Manhat tan. The Normals are booked to meet Warrensburg, and C. of E. to do bat tle with Fairmount Virginia is something more than "the mother of presidents." The showing made by Virginia university this season is one of the best ever made by one of the numerically smaller universities. With leas than 1,000 students to draw on, 'Virginia, j against Yale and Harvard, has rolled up ten points against nine. Harvard i contributing the nine and Yale the rest of it on the shorter side. For a university eleven selected from this comparatively small roll-call, coached by a graduate system of its own. to prevent Yale and Harvard from crossing its goal line is an achieve ment worthy of special mention which this doesn't claim to be.

The Ok lahoma Aggies had little trouble in defeating the Baker university team of Baldwin, Kan., here Friday after noon by the overwhelming score of 30 to 7. The open play of the Aggies was too much for the Kansans. Although the Baker team out weighed their opponents by several pounds to the man, the results of the game were never in doubt and it was certain that victory would rest with the home team from the start of the game. The only touchdown made by the Kansans was in the first quarter when a Baker player intercepted a forward pass and raced nearly 50 yards for a touchdown. The Aggies made four touchdowns, kicked three goals and made one field goal. Bethany 27; Hays Normal 25. Lindsborg, Kan., Oct. 30. Bethany surprised football followers here Fri day when they defeated the heavy Fort Hays Normals by the score of 27 to 25. Bethany won through their ability to kick three goals from touch downs, while the Teachers kicked but one of four attempts. Bethany overcame the "beer of the Normals by playing a fast and con sistent game, relying upon straight football, while the Teachers depended upon the forward pass entirely. Beth any scored all touchdowns from line smashes, while Peterson, for the Nor mals, made four touchdowns from for ward passes. Kansas Wesleyan 13; Friends 6. Salina, Kan., Oct. 30.
