An amended petition in the alienation suit brought by Mae Dalrymplc against Grant Dal rymple, her father-in-law, was f i led In the d i st rict court of Shawnee county this afternoon, citing the couses for action and asking for damage to the amount of $15,000. The plantiff and Karl Dalrymplc, son of the defendant, were married May 1913, in Kansas City and are the parents of two children. Mae Dalrym plc Is a resident of this county while the defendant lives near Salina. Mrs. Dalrymplc charges In her petition that the father alienated the affe-ticns of her husband and caused him to be come estranged from her. She charges that the father told his son that the plaintiff yas unchaste and untrue to him; that their child was illegitimate, and that he otherwise sought to turn the husband away from her. She states that they left the Dalrym plc home several times in order to get away from the father's influence but that lie followed them and finally succeeded in persuading the son to leave her.

Conditions were not at all improved over the state this morning, more snow having fallen in most parts of Kansas. At some places the ice, snow and sleet on the ground measure several inches, and at no station in Kansas is the ground bare of ice. The snow has been a daily occurrence for the past four days, and there is little prospect of a cessation in the next few days. Wire trouble continues, though rail road and street car traffic is practical ly normal- A 20-mile wind promised more trouble to telegraph and tele phone companies unless it abated be fore night. The forecast calls for generally fair weather tonight with continued cold: Sunday unsettled with snow; not quite so cold. The temperature dropped last niyht after 10 o'clock reaching a reading of 16 degrees at 7 o'clock this morning. The mercury continued on the decline, and by 10 o'clock was down to 10 degrees. It was expected to go several degrees lower later in the day.

TONIGHT BOLINGERJN SUIT Topeka Attorney Sained in Kline Divorce Case. j Sensational Details Brought Out by Husband. Painting pictures of night automo bile rides, trips to Kansas City, visits to cabarets and theaters, all spiced with beer and wine, Roy W. Kline today filed an answer to his wife's pe tition for divorce, naming Arthur J. Bolinger. a Topeka attorney, as the man who alienated his wife's affec tions. Kline doesn't file a counter petition. He doesn't ask for a divorce. He sim ply asks for the costs of the case, to have Bolinger's actions Investigated by the court and asks that the supreme court be memorialized with a view to securing the disbarrment of the To peka attorney. The Kline answer breaks the local record for furnishing details. It gives the hours and minutes for things al leged to have taken place between Ella Kline, the plaintiff in the orig inal divorce petition, and Bolinger, who signed her petition as attorney. Denies Wife's Allegations. Kline makes general denial of state ments made in his wife's petition for divorce but doesn't waste a great deal of space on that feature of this reply. In the third paragraph he brings in the name of A. J. Bolinger, who is representing Mrs. Kline in her divorce action. He charges that Mrs. Kline's real motive in applying for a divorce, according to her own statement, is j that she loves another man. He j charges her with gross misconduct f with this man, and names Bolinger. The petition states that Mrs. Kline, became acquainted with Bolinger i about the middle of November, 1915, I and that up to that time their mar ried life, since they were married in 1910, had been happy. It states that Bolinger immediately began to make j advances to Mrs. Kline, "such as are j not customarily accepted by married women." that he took her riding and j in fact became very intimate, i It is recited in the petition that Te j cember 13, Bolinger took the woman i riding in an automobile and that at I 9:30 o'clock that evening the ride i ended at a hotel nar the Santa Fe j station, that Bolinger left her at the hotel but that before doing ho he gave her 1 0 with which to pay her expenses at the hotel that night and I her fare to Kansas City the following j morning. j Followed Her to K. C. j The next morning. December 14, the I petition continues. Mrs. Kline went to Kansas City and Bolinger followed during the afternoon, met Mrs. Kline and went to Nance's cabaret, where i they had supper and beer.

San Francisco, Jan. 29. The storm that has raged over the Pacific coast region since early Thursday has claim ed a toll of not less than 60 lives and caused property loss amounting to millions of dollars, according to re ports thus far received. It Is feared that further loss of life may be reported when lines of com munication are cleared. The greatest loss of life occurred in the Otay val ley, south of San Diego when the low er dam of the California mountain water company broke Thursday after noon. Not less than fifty per cent ac cording to figures reported by the cor oner's jury, lost their lives and scores are missing. The Pacific claimed three lives early yesterday morning when the garbage carrier Aberdeen of Oak land, Calif., was wrecked off the San Francisco beach. No bodies have been recovered. High Winds Wreck Oil Field. Flood waters and high winds did much damage in various parts of tne state. The oil districts in particular have suffered severely, hundreds of derricks being wrecked. Snow fell generally throughout the northern part of the state. Telegraph and tel ephone communication throughout the state which was generally demoral ized by the storm is gradually being restored. The storm struck the north western states heavily, Oregon, Wash ington. Idaho and Montana reporting cold and snow. Montana last night was shivering in what was termed the worst storm in twenty years with the thermometer ranging from 20 to 54 degrees below zero. Railway traffic is at a stand still, on account of drifts and snow-' (Continued on Page 2.) 'Papa' Stokes 70, But Stork Isn't Partial New York, Jan. 29. Mrs. W. E. D.

Herbert Cavaness, editor of the Chanute Tribune and honored native Kansan at tonight's banquet, was among the first arrivals. Cavaness viewed the situation in the Third dis trict with a serene smile. In fact, it was the best smile the Chanute man has brought to Topeka in several years. "Conditions in the Third dis trict are in the beat possible condi tion," he said. "We have no worries and no doubts about results in the j November election." Smith Center sent a nig delegation to tne oanquet. x ne crown irom ine Sixth district county was headed by Dan Dyer, candidate for state audi tor; T. M. Mahin, state senator, and A. C.

Pattee. are also in the Smith county crowd. The delegation is boosting the Dyer candidacy and telling the visiting Re publicans of the eight million bushel corn crop in Smith county. Warren White, editor of the Phil lipsburg News came with the Sixth district crowd. He left his new lino type machine in charge of the office "devil" and came to Topeka for a real visit with the party workers. Dr. J. W. Graybill, of Newton, ar rived early and went to work. He i a candidate for president of the club to succeed Walter L. Payne, of Bur lingame, and expects to win without a fight. Bert Brown, of Fall River, repre sentative from Oreenwood county, was among the early Fourth district arriv als. Brown will probably be renomi nated without opposition and has a following in his home county which makes his retura to the legislature al most certain. A. Q.

He has an nounced his candidacy for a second term from the Washington county dis trict. Miss Lizzie Wooster, of Sal in a. was among the women most active in the j hotel lobbies and parlors. Miss Wooster will probably be a candidate j for the Republican nomination for j state superintendent of public instruc j tion. H. C.

Instead, Convention in Topeka to Select Delegates. VICTORY FOR STANDPATTERS Muhane y Crowd Kefnsed to Yield" to Primary AVhin. Morgan" Suffrage Resolution, However, Stood the Strain. Members of the Republican ntate committee today walked on the W. Y. Morgan plan for compulsory presiden tial primaries. T'nder an amended call presented by D. W. Mulvsne of To peka, the state convention to select delegates at large to the Chicago na tional convention, will be held in To peka Tuesday, March 21. The basis of representation v. ill be one delegate and one alternate for every 200 votes cast for J. T. Botkin for secretary of slate in 1914 a conventio i of 962 delegates. Fighting almost unaided and alone. W. Y. Morgan of Hutchinson, ll.uten ant governor, put before the state committee the state administration's program for compulsory local pri maries. M rgan's resolution called for the holding of primaries in every township and precinct in the state to select delegates to the county conven tions, which in turn would name dele gates to the state convention. Con servative leaders of the party from ev ery section of the state jumped on Morgan's scheme wit h hob nailed shoes. Under the resolution by Mulvane, option is given the local county com mittees concerning the method of se lecting county delegates. If a primsrr is desired In one county and a caucus is sought in another county, both dis tricts are eared for. But Morgan sought to uphold the primary system. He urged the delegate to remember the pledges of the party and the fact that the Republicans who had writ ten the law must keep sscred the spirit of the act. His plea fell on deaf ears. Victory for Stflnripnttcrn. The Morgan-Mulvane fight was th hie1 contest before the state committee and the feature of Kansas Day activi ties. It was a distinct vietory for thm conservatives of the party and ths first time since the enactment of th Mate-wide primary law that the party has refused to yield to the whip when the primary policy was brought Into issue. Many county chairmen took positive stand against the primary plan as outlined in the Morgan reso lution, although they were quite will ing that counties which favored t'n policy might pursue their own course. Al Williams, of Columbus, a candi date for a place on the "Big Four" trom Kansas, brought cheers from supporters of the caucus and conven tion system in a speech which flayed the Morgan plan.

1 WITH HOPE, UNITY ffV- d from p On.. And they will go into the coming cam paign wit h a determination to wipe out the record of 11)12 and put Kan sas safely bark in the Republican col umn. That is the spirit in the crowd of Kansas Day visitors. Assurances from former leaders of I the i'roi-'ressive party that a state ticket will not be placed in the field this year, have given to the Kepubli- j can U aders a hope that they can wipe j out the former records and send a. solid delegation to Washington. The rot urn of manv of the Progressives of former days was occasion for re joicing and resulted in an almost new unity iimnm former factional leaders In the making of campaign plans. J nt crest in the action of the Re publics n state committee as affecting the date find place of a state conven tion to select delegates to the national convention was keen. Every political leader had an idea of his own con cerning an instructed delegation. Names of Candidates. In view of the fact that Senator Burton of Ohio, a presidential possi bility, is the guest of honor at the big dinner tonight, there was little ef fort to outline definitely the selection of a presidential preference. Rut in the quiet, whispered conferences in the hotels, the names of the candi dates were generally discussed. The Hughes boom was the big subject for discussion. Instructions for J ustice Hughes, regardless of his refusal to consent to becoming a candidate, was ntronirlv nrired. This action was unsh ed most vigorously by V. Y. Morgan, lieutenant governor, and many close friends of the state administration. Among the conservative leaders, however, there was a most definite sentiment in favor of an uninstructed delegation. They talked for a con vention free from home obligations and privileged to swing in behind the candidacy of the strongest and most available candidate before the June convention. Their Hat in King. The policy of springing the names j of new candidates before the Kansas 1 Iay club banqueters was little In evi- dence. With three exceptions- state auditor, state treasurer and superin tendent of public instruction all of the present state officials are candi dates for second terms. Frank Organ of Howard, Daniel B. Dyer of Smith Center, are the candidates for audi tor, with little prospect for new can didates Walter L. Payne of Burlingame, president of the club; Wiley Cook of Kansas City, assistant state treasurer; Mfltt Weight man of Topeka, former county treasurer, and Charles Evans of Good land, are the treasurer candi dates. No new names were suggested by the Republicans who arrived early for the big party dinner. In the case of state superintendent of public instruction, however, there was a definite move for a new candi- date. W. I. Ross, present incumbent, is a candidate for a third term. Many leaders expressed a desire not to load the ticket with third term timber. The Ross stand for the county unit sys tem and his unpopularity through mo tion picture censorship, were pointed out as his weak points. Miss Lizzie Wooster, of Kalina, was strongly urged as a candidate. Other names will probably be suggested before the din ner crowd leaves Topeka late tonight. Kvery congressional candidate, ex cept P. R. Authony, Jr., and Phil I. Campbell, present Republican in cumbents from this state, are in To pcka for the dinner. Many of the congressional candidates brought strong delegations of boosters. Otis L. Rent on, of Oberlin, a well known Sixth district candidate, distributed TOO tickets among his friends from the big northwest territory. Fight for Officer. There was but one real fight today for offices of the club. The contest concerned the secretaryship of the or ganization. K. T. Thompson, elected in 1915, is a candidate to succeed himself, while Ralph Squires, of To peka, register of deeds of Shawnee county, is making a hard fight for the election. Dr. J. W. Graybill, of Newton, was slated to succeed Walter L. Payne, of Rurlingame, as president of the club. Graybill has a strong following, while Payne, who served as secretary of the club prior to his election to the presi dency, is not a candidate. The business meeting of the club will be held this afternoon in Security hall. New officers will be elected at that time. Resolutions condemning the policies of the national Demo cratic administration and possibly touching the policies of Kansas Re publicans as affecting preparedness, will be adopted. There is a decided division of sentiment among the Re publicans as affecting preparedness and it is possible that the prospect of a conflict wfll be dodged and the na tional defense question pigeonholed. The business meeting was called for 3 o'clock. Among officers to be elected at to day's meeting are: President, secre tary and two vice presidents from each of the eight congressional dis tricts. The vice presidents will prob ably include one man and one woman from each congressional district. This plan was adopted in 1915 and is in strong favor. Vice Presidents Now. Vice presidents of the club at this time are: First District W. P. Hamm, Atchi son; Mrs. Margaret Hill McCarter, To peka. Second District D. P. Chapman, Kansas City; Mrs. F. W. Sponable, Paola.

History of Kansas Day i i l For more than two score years Kansas has been observing the anni versary of its admission into the Union as a state. It was on January 29, 1861, after the free state struggles in congress and after the people of Kansas terri tory had ratified the Wyandotte con stitution, containing provisfon against shivery or involuntary servitude except for crime, that President Buchanan approved the acticr, of congress and signed the bill admitting Kansas as the thirty-fourth of the United States. There are many stories told of the receipt of the news in Kansas and the resultant rejoicing. Huge bonfires were lighted in the various communi ties as soon as the news was known and the people joined in a common celebration. It was said that the peo ple of Lawrence first learned of the admission through a copy of an extra edition of the old Leavenworth Con servative, which was taken personally to Douglas county by the late jL. R Anthony. Histories relate that the people there began a celebration, marked by songs and speecb.es, which continued through the night. It was through the schools of the state that the anniversary of the day first was observed on January 29, 1877. The day was set aside for the study of Kansas, its history, its geog raphy and its resources in some of the cities. Especial attention was paid to t he history of t he events of six teen years before. Similar observances were held in succeeding years. Schools in Wichita, Topeka, Lawrence, Fort Scott, Emporia, Clay Center. Paola and other cities of the state, set aside the day for celebrations; Then in 1Sn2. for the first iim a general celebration of the anniversary of the birt h of Kansas was held in the schools.

Floods Area 15 Miles Ixmg. San Diego, Jan. 29 (By Radio to Los Angeles). No change has been made early today in estimates fixing at fifty the loss of life in the Otay val ley flood. When the lower dam of the South ern California Mountain Water com pany broke late Thursday, it released a flood of eleven billion gallons of wa ter into the populous valley, which lies just south of here, devastating an an area fifteen miles long and two miles wide. The property damage it is believed will reach $1,000,000. An other dam continued today near the breaking point, threating ruin to the valley. Scores of persons are report ed missing and it is believed a number of bodies were carried out to sea. Rescue parties are striving to reach the scene, approach to which is ex tremely difficult owing to the swollen streams and the fact that all the bridges between San Diego and the valley have been carried away by the flood waters of the l?st two weeks. All roads are virtually impassable. Jap Colony Wiped Out. Hundreds of families cut off from communication from the outside world were believed to be threatened with a food famine. Suffering among the homeless was said to be intense. Plans were being made here to send relief supplies into the flooded district as soon as possible, one report stated that 25 Japanese including men, wom en and children were killed when the dam broke, releasing a, wall of water thirty feet high. Twenty-five farm houses were known to have been swept away by the waters. The heavy rain during the last two days filled the lower Otay dam for the first time in its history. Realizing the dam was weakening under the great pressure of water warnings were sent to people in the valley to flee for their lives. It was unheeded by many, accord ing to reports here, the residents in the valley preferring to remain and endeavor to to protect their property. Only Meager Facts Available. There has been no means of com munication with the valley, either by telephone or by telegraph, since the gale and rain storm which swept this city early Thursday morning. For this reason it has been possible to ob tain only mecrer details. Dam Was 130 Feet High. Engineering parties and civil au thorities joined the rescue parties which hastened today to the sit of the lower Otay dam 17 miles southeast of here.

In Mrs. Codding's address, she said: "I am the daughter of the pet-pie wio gave our state a name. The largest river of the state bears the title of my forefathers. The totem of my tribe is the eagle our national emblem. It was the story of my warrior brothers that enticed Coronado to come from the Montezuma country to the north east corner of Kansas. It was O-na-te, the Spanish explorer that gave my tribe its name two generations after Coronado came to our wig-warns in the village of the Twenty-lour. He called us Es-cansa-ques, the disturb ers. The pale faces in Kansas seem to have inherited the literal meaning of the name. In 172 7 the (Jrand Vil lage des Kanzes had a mission of the Jesuit Fathers the first established on Kansas soil. "My tribe went up the Kaw to Menokin, four miles west of Topeka. They were to possess 30 miles each side ef the river as far as the land where 'the humped cows' are most plentiful. The Kanza warriors in the east fought with Iiraddock, and knew Pike on his way west. They owned the first horses in Kansas, and in litter years they were keen for education in the mission schools.

Mrs. Fannie Cooper Atkinson of Parsons, vice president of the club, presided, taking the seat left vacant by the late Mrs. Eugene Ware, the club's president, whoso death occurred while she was cnqiged in the work of preparing the pians for today's fes tivities. Mrs. Atkinson pn?sented'"Mrs. George I lose of Kansas City, whose subject was the "Conservation of Kan sas Native Trees and Flowers." Mrs. Rose spoke as follows: Mrs. Ware knew Kansas. She had seen its wooded hills and glimpsed its prai ries. She knew its fat years and its lean years. She remembered the grasshoppers and that other scourge, the prairie fire. Do you recall, you who pioneered in Kansas, your terror at the siyht of those devouring flames? Let me give you one detail of a fire that ravaged Cherokee county in those early days. A young mother stood with a child at her breast and another clinging to her skirts watch ing a gin re that was not of the sun. Husband and horses were away. No other human being in sight or sound. Already the smoke-filled air scorched her face. How could a wo man so burdened outrun a fire that rode on the wind In that moment of despair help came. Surely never a knight in sil vered armor looked so handsome as the young farmer who galloped in on a plow horse. He quickly backfired and beat out the blaze; he fought with head and hand till the angry flames swept around and on. When he re turned i o the blackened road with face and hands Mistered, that home was saved. A common enough incident, you say. How does it concern this par ticular Kansas day? The young fa rmor's name was Eugene Ware. The young mother was his friend and neighbor's wife, a grateful woman who never forgot. Did you know, those of you who knew him best, that Eugene Ware, lawyer, poet, statesman, first essayed as a barefoot youth to make his for tune raising onions in Cherokee coun ty? Ironquill's poetry was in his heart, not in his crops or his boots. I have sometimes thought Mrs. Ware loved all thingn belonging to Kansas because it was given to her to walk with one who was so thoroughly a Kansan. Her Pioneering Days. Mrs. Rose told of her life in Wyan dotte county in pioneer times, and of a person whom she called her "young man" who staked put a claim on Washington creek. The young householder began a stu dy of native fruits, not with any thought of their propagation, bt-to test their culinary merits. Tlip wild strawberry growing in great,' abun dance along the Santa Ve Ttail ltft; nothing to' bo desired but size.' My young man has ventured the opinion that more strawberries grew wild in tho state at that time than have grown since timier cultivation. Green goose berries with plenty of sugar were a table delight. Service berries were to be found and nn occasional handful of raspberries and blackberries. Dew ber ries were even more plentiful, nor was he too grown up to nibble his way cautiously around the wormy redhaw. On one glad June day the boy found a full-fruited mulberry tree. He shook the tree, filled his chip hat to over flowing, and then in utter content ment, sat down in the shade and ate the last one of them. She told about the elderberries, wild grape and crab apple, and the chokoeherry pies they usod to have "On the whole." she added, "there is little to regret in the passing of native fuits-. The wild berries would respond to culture, but the improved strains are as hardy and more easily obtain ed. The post oak grape, of which we know little, is the missionary among our native fruits. It is native to the Ozarks, and by Us importation into France, that country's grape crop has been saved from insect pests. The Knglisli walnut has boen budded into the black walnut; hickory nuts, hazel nuts and pecans are native to Kan sas; so -we may yet see a great nut industry in this state. Pecan orchards will become a good investment, espe cially in low ground. Native I'lowera. "Any mention of native blossoms begins with the sunflower. The golden rod is next in abundance; the yucca, butterfly weed, verbena, wild rose, primrose and columbine, are worthy of a place in my lady's garden. The Kansas flowers do not all belong to my lady. Here is a masculine bou quet: Johnny-Jump-Up, Jimson weed. Sweet William to be eiffcred to every William, Willie or Will in the state, but if he calls himself Bill he shall have cocke burrs or Billy Buttons. Here is shepherd'3 purse and Solo mon's seal, of which an old record says. The root taketh away in one night any bruise, black or blue spots gotten by falls or woman's willfulness in stumbling upon her hasty husband's fists.' The wild crab-apple, condemned as a fruit, is redeemed by its flower. The nursery men will tell you they have ornamental crabs much finer than the wild tree. Trust them not. You re member a great man's raying, "God might have made a finer fruit than the strawberry but He never did." That is the speaker's feeling for the wili crab-apple blossoms. Among the small shrubs are the In dian currant or cor I berry, more commonly known as buck bush, which grows in such profusion all through our hilly counties, tew Kansans have as yet planted the buck bush, since plants, like prophets, are least hon-. ored in their own country. At one time the Old Trails Associa tion had a tremendous scheme before the public for building one hundred thousand miles of national highways. Every public spirited influence in the country is enlisted for good roads, and club wc'men have been called on to help. To Beautify Lincoln Highway. The general federation has respond ed with an ambitious plan to beautify with trees and plants native to each state, the entire three thousand five hundred miles of the Lincoln High way, the projected transcontinental road. Beginning in New York with birches and white oak, into New Jer sey with laurel and fruit trees through Pennsylvania forests, over prairie roads embellished with maple j trees and wild roses, the sunset end of Lineoln'a Way is reached in a blazing rglory of California poppies. Euch Is 'ATURD AY EVENING, the plan. Calls are being sent to club women all over the country to piant a mile on this or any other great high way, feurely a splendid method lor conserving native trees and flowers! The plea is mude to plant this mile in honor of some prominent club or club woman It is not so visionary as it sounds. A nursery firm near Kansas City has of fered to plant a mile of elms, using two hundred trees to the mile for one hundred and fifty dollars; or they will plant a mile of maples or poplars for one hundred and twenty-five dollars and guarantee the work. They will add some nut trees for you at the same price. The Way of Progress. We are passing rapidly through our field of opportunity in the saving of our native plants. The plow is at work on the prairies of the west, the ax, the shovel and the scraper are busy in the hills of the east. It is the way of progress. Its changes we may nut unduly regret, but let us conserve ar best we may the natural beauties of our state for our children and our children's children. Let us in the -'alm of the material as in the realm of the spiritual, "Hold fast to that which is good." best mmm fun (Cr.ntjrnpfl from One) committee members who beat down the Hutchinson man's resolution. "We don't believe in a primary down in my county." declared the Oolnmbus lawyer. What ip more, we don't expect to get in that frame of mind. If some of your counties want a primary, that ip all right. But this Morgan resolution makes it a lead pipe cinch that you will play ball the way Willie wanta it played.

John Chancy "of Topeka, J. N. Tincher of Medicine Lod-.se, Charles Evans of Goodland and others fought for the Alulvane call. Scattered sup port came to Morgan. But he was beaten from the start and the com pulsory primary plan started for the scrap h-eap the minute the bell rang. It was not a re-tlection on Morgan's r;ame ar.d clever fight. He merely lacked votes. The Mulvane resolution was amend ed to provide for the holding of the state convention March 21, instead of March T, as provided in the original call. That was the only change. Before adjournment, the commit ter adopted a resolution by Morgan endorsing national suffrage and urg ing Kansas women to participate in the councils of the party when local conventions are heid. There was no fight concerning the brimjing of the big convention to To peka. No other Kansas town made a bid for the important political gath ering and members of the committee from every section of the state favored the bringing of the convention to the capital city Allotment of Delegates.

IT HITS A SNAG East Sixth Viaduct Is Checked Up to the City, Will ot Be Repaired Unless Street Be Vacated. No vacation, no viaduct that's the tip that has reached the city hall in connection with the proposed vacation of East Sixth street under the viaduct. The Santa Fe, the Street Railway company and the Missouri Pacific have agreed to rebuild the East Sixth street viaduct and have it completed by the first of May. The Santa Fe has made application to the city commission for the vaca tion of East Sixth street under the viaduct and an ordinance providing for a partial vacation has been intro duced. There is no opposition to the ordinance in the city commission. Following the development of oppo sition the word was passed around the city hall that unless the ordinance is passed vacating the street there will be no further work done on the via duct. Commissioners W. L. Porter and Frank New land discussed the matter this morning and agreed that while the vacation of the street might be a good thing it would be better to post pone it until the viaduct was complet ed. Otherwise people going to and coming from the East Side will be forced to walk several blocks out of their way while construction work is being done on the viaduct. The Santa Fe asks for the vacation of the street in order to escape liabil ity for accidents that may occur there. There are thirteen or fourteen tracks running beneath the viaduct and cars are being switched about constantly. Hundreds of people walk across the trackp and under the viaduct every day. There is no watchman there and once the viaduct is in repair there is little excuse for walking across the tracks. The ordinance will probably come u p for consideration at Monday's meeting of the city commission. SANTA FE NOTES t Itenis for this depart mnt may be phoned to 3115 or State Journal office. M. R.

The dance, the novel, obscene bill board pictures, licensed red-light dis tricts all fell before the onslaughts of Evangelist Bob Johnson last night as he pictured their debasing and de grading influence upon the home and the family life in his sermon for "women only." "One of the first things that tend to drag down young people," said the speaker, "is the books that they read; and that means that they should be closely guarded in this respect. And then, furthermore, I want to say to you, that I absolutely have no respect nor patience for a double standard of purity that will condone the sins of a plug hat and condemn the same sins in a hair pin. "I want to congiatulate the film censor of your city who condemned a moving picture show brought into your town at great expense. He said 'No God bless him. I honor the man who has the courage of his con victions and will stand up for them even though he has to stand alone." Dancing came in for a good scoring by Evangelist Johnson. "Don't talk to me about there not being any harm in dancing," he shouted. "There mu3t be harm in dancing when cities legis late against it. I live in a little village of three hundred and fifty thousand inhabitants Minneapolis. And I want to say to you right h?re and now hear me that in Minneapolis no girl under twenty-one years of age is al lowed in a public dance hall. In some place that I know of, no girl, no matter how honorable or how inno cent she may be, can expect to come out of a dance hall without having been solicited oy some man. Tou lis ten to me seventy-five per cent of the fallen women of this country say that the dance hall was tho cause of their downfall. And then you say j 'Well, I don't see any harm in danc ing The Evangelist gave the mothers of his audience sound advice as to educa tion in these matters and declared that the "girls who are the sweetest and the most innocent are often in the most awful peril because they are not well-enough informed to protect them sehes from the snares of the devil. lod pity a city that thinks that she has to set apart a red light district where people live in the most awful sin. The devil is no respecter of persons he is after the finest girls. Alothers, called the evangelist, "keep your girls home at night.'

Kveryone excepting the higher San ta Fe officials appeared to have heard "authentically" of the change in the president's route. As quick as J. Will Kelley heard of it he telephoned to Santa Fe officials who declared that they had heard nothing official. On the other hand H. J. Corwine said he had got the information from a Santa Fe official. Shortly after din ner, Mr. Kelley received a carbon copy of the president's itinerary sent from Washington, and in it the Santa Fe was designated as the road on which the presidential party would arrive. MISS NANCY NEXT Two-Act Musical Comedy by Women's Clubs. Under Direction of C. C. Young green and Joe Risteen. The big two-act musical comedy. "Miss Nancy," put on by the Women's Federated Clubs, February 11 and 12, is well under way. The 150 people taking part in this mammoth produc tion are working hard and the show promises to be the biggest success of its kind ever attempted here. Practically every line of talent in Topeka will be seen in this produc tion, which the Federated Clubs will offer to the city of Topeka. Nothing has been spared to make "Miss Nancy" practically a professional per formance, which is builded and is bound to please. The feature scenic effects and fea ture dances introduced will be a sur prise to Topeka audiences. It is the Topeka Federated Clubs maiden effort in a thing of this kind and they promise a show rivalling anything of a professional character. It is something different, something new, because it combines a witty dia logue and a cleverly woven plot and story together with all the latest dancing. A number of special fea ture surprises in the way of mechani cal effects will be seen in "Miss Nancy." Mr. Younggreen and Mr. Risteen, directors of this production, have been working untiringly and unceasingly, so that the Topeka Women's Clubs can present to Topeka something de sirable and appreciative. Mr. Young green states that "Miss Nancy' fills the bill. Mr. Younggreen further stated that in conference with the club house committee of the Women's Clubs of Topeka they prevailed upon him their desires to make "Miss Nancy" the biggest mammoth success of the west. With this in view, Mr. Risteen, one of the directors, has consented to play the part of John Berry. Mr. Risteen is well known in theatrical circles and is considered the leading amateur per former in the city and will make an admirable foil for the work of Miss Koester, in the leading role of "Miss Nancy." The ticket campaign was launched today and it is hoped that Topeka will respond readily to something big and worth while. The entire production of "Miss Nancy" is under the direction of Chas. C. Younggreen and Joe Risteen, as sisted by Miss Hazel Howe. AGGIES BEAT NORMAL Hardest Fought Debate in Years at Kmporia Last Xight. Emporia, Jan. 29. The Kansas Aggies won from the Kansas State Normal at Emporia last night in what is said to be one of the hardest fought debates of the season. The question was, "Resolved. That the united States should insist that the open door policy as laid down by John Hay should be strictly respected by all na tions." The Aggies upheld the negative side of this qestion. While platform hon ors were about equally divided so far as delivery was concerned, the Aggies showed better generalship in argu ment, and were more definite in their proof. The open door policy was narrowed down to a purely commercial affair. and the Aggies sustained their conten tion that the trade of China was too small to warrant the continuance of the policy, especially in view of the fact that the open door lent indefinite ness to our foreign policy. The debaters for Emporia were Morgan, captain; Nelson and Webster: for the Aggies, Wunsch, Wilson, and Boyer, captain. Professor Town of Washburn college, Topeka, judged the debate.

GERMAN VICTORY Teutons Claim Capture of 1,764 French and Trenches. Kaiser's Men Suddenly Launch Offensive in France. Berlin, Jan. 29. The capture of 1, 000 yards of French positions south of Somme, by German troops was an nounced today by army headquarters. Prisoners to the number of 927 and 13 machine guns were taken. North east of Neuville the Germans stormed trenches along the front of about 1, 700 yards, capturing 27 prisoners and nine machine guns. The thousand yards of positions tak en were south of the village of Frise, which also was captured by the Ger mans. War Office Reports. The text of the official statements given out today by the German army headquarters staff says: "Western front: To the northwest of the farm of Laerolie, northeast of Neuville, German troops stormed 1 500 yards of the enemy's trenches, taking prisoners 237 men, including one officer, and capturing nine ma chine guns. "Several French attacks against the position near Neuville recently taken by the Germans broke but the enemy succeeded in occupying the second mine crater. Capture Towns and Soldiers. "In the western section of Saint Lauret, near Arras, the Germans stormed and took from the French a group of houses. South of Somme, the Germans conquered the village of Frise and one thousand yards of the position connected with it, to the southward. The Germans took 12 of ficers and 927 French soldiers, all un wounded, and captured 13 machine guns and four mine throwers. "On Combres heights a French mine did only slight damages to the ad vanced German trenches. The enemy was forced to withdraw after making an attempt to occupy the crater. The enemy's losses were heavy. "South of Apremont, to the east of the Meuse, an enemy aeroplane was shot down by German artillery. The pilot was killed and the observer se verely injured." Paris Says Germans Fail. Paris, Jan. 29. An attack by the Germans on the French front south of Somme yesterday along a width of several kilometers failed completely on the southern end of lines, succeed ing only on the bank of the Somme against the village of Frise, it was an nounced today by the war office. VESTER IN NO DANGER Man Struck by Fire Cliicrs Car Not Seriously Injured. Unless injuries develop that have not been discovered so far Andy Ves ter, of 412 Wabash avenue, who was struck by the fire chiefs car Friday evening, will suffer no serious results. The physician in charge stated at noon that three bruises on the head were1 the only evidences of injury he had been able to find and that unless something further develops Vester is in no danger. The fire department was answering a call from Fourth and Tyler streets where a trolley wire had broken when the chief's car struck Vester. Harry Hopper was driving the car and Joe Wiedelich, assistant chief, was beside him. Vester stepped off a street car at Sixth and Topeka avenue. Chief Weidelich does not believe Vester saw or heard the chief's car until it struck him. Vester started on a trot for tne curbing when apparently someone on the street car shouted a warning to him. ester looked back and hesitated, then started on just in time 1o collide with the fender of the chief's car. He was thrown to the pavement and was unconscious when carried into the Miller Pharmacy. Later he was taken to St. Francis hospital. Chief Weidelich was badly shaken by the accident and still lacked con siderable of b?in back to normal to day. He made frequent inquiries to day about Vester' s condition. The hook and ladder truck of No. 3 had an accident on the same run. It rammed a motor bus driven by Guy Helms for the Hurry-Up Messenger service at Sixth and Jackson streets. Helms was thrown out and the hook and ladder truck was doubled up when the brakes were jammed on suddenly. Helms was uninjured. The motor bus was continued in service. FROM A. A. GODARO To the Editor of the Journal: I think you unintentionally did the Provident association an injustice in your report of the annual meeting in the Thursday evening paper. You say. "Tt costs the Provident associa tion $1 to spend one. To the poor $4,395. Salaries and upkeep $4,430." I presume your figures are correct and on theface of them they seem to justify your statement. II this were the true situation, and the association paid out $4,430 simply as the cost of spending $4,395 on our poor, the people of this city ought not I to contribute another dollar to it. I have never been connected with the Provident association in any way land am nor entirely familiar with its work. I do know, however, that the asso ciation does the following things I which do not appear on the credit j side of the cash account: t It maintains what is in effect a mu nicipal lodging house, and takes care T t of a great number of tramps and stranded persons who would other wise have to be kept at public expense. It maintains a hospital, where a large number of sick and diseased poor persons are cared for, and there i3 no other place in the city for such. 1 It takes marge of the investigations of applications to the county for re lief and thereby saves the taxpayers a large fum of money. It collects a large amount of cloth ing from donors and distributes the J same among the poor. In like manner i it collects and distributes donations of groceries and flour, j All of the ab-'-ve takes time of the paid representatives of the associa- i tion but they do not show in the cash i let-1 the association and its woodpile are responsible for keeping our city comparatively free from tramps and professional beggars. I would like to see a concise and complete statement of the activities in print. A. A. GODARD. Topeka. Jan. 28, 1916.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL SATURDAY EVENING, JANUARY 29, 1916 WHO WILL BE "BIG FOUR" FOR CHIC AM MEET? Political Interest Around Gath ering Here Today. Fight Largely One of Personal ities, Not Party. BRISTOW AND CURTIS IN IT? Old Sore May Be Opened in a IJual Wedge. Name of Candidates Who Would Represent Party. Tvluch of the political interest among Kansas Day vinitors concerns the se lection of delegates to the Chicago na tional convention In June. Keen con tents slated for several congressional districts will be overshadowed only by the bitter fight for places on the "Big .Four" the delegates at large to be selected by the state convention. The fight for places on the national delegation is being made today in the rooms of the candidates and in the whispered conferences in hotel lob bies. Kvery avowed candidate for del egate is today in the midst of the ho tel milling. There was little conflict between the progressive and conserv ative wings of the party concerning control of the delegation and the fight was largely one of personalities. Anxious for Control. In the selection of the delegates at large, however, both wings of the party are anxious for control. That is where the big fight will come. The contest, though, may be saved to the delegates to the state convention. Ef forts of either faction to dominato the "Big Four" is expected to precip itate a real row. Both factions want recognition and are ready and willing to fight for it. The attitude of Joseph L. Bristow in seeking a place on the Big Four delegation may be the opening wedge for the real spectacular fight for con trol of the delegation. Bristow is said to have told his friends that he want to go to the convention as a delegate. His selection would arouse the wrath of the conservatives. They would al most as readily accept Stubbs or Al len or White. Bristow and Curtis. Insistance by Bristow that he go to the convention will doubtless mean that Senator Charles Curtis will seek a place on the delegation. That would tie the troubles of the party in a knot. Should Bristow step aside Senator Curtis's friends believe the Topeka man will consent to stay at home. Governor Capper is not expected to ask for a place on the delegation. In a statement to the State Journal sev eral weeks ago Governor Capper 'stated that he did not believe office holders should go to the convention as fit-legates. He urged the selection of the--men -at home- Senator Curtis is expected to endorse this stand, provid ed Bristow shows further political as pirations by disturbing conditions. Charles F. Scott of Iola is regarded as an almost certain selection as a delegate at large. Karl Akers, state treasurer, is being boosted by leaders of both factions. Akers has not de- -clared his candidacy, but is urged for the place and his record for the last four years is considered a strong argument in favor of his selection. Boosters Belli nd Morgan. W. Y. Morgan, lieutenant governor. has a number of boosters who have urged his election to a place on the Big Four. Morgan favors an instruct ed Hughes delegation and it is claimed that he would like a place on the dele gation. Third district Republicans came to Topeka solidly for Al Williams, widely known Columbus lawyer. Williams is today working for a place on the Big Four. T. S. Smith of Hiawatha, is also a candidate for delegate at large. In the First district W. D. Casey. Atchison; Drew McLaughlin, Seneca; and Ira K. Wells of Seneca, are re garded as strong candidates. Capt. P. H. Coney and Frank Grimes, Topeka, and John Berry, Troy, have also been mentioned. Selection of First district delegates, however, may not take a definite course until the result of the impending Curtis-Bristow fight is de termined. Seccnd district Republicans have urge names of T. T. Kellv, Paola; Frank L. Travis, Iola; A. M. Keene Fort Scott, and C. W. Jones, of Olathe! Alfred C Denton, well known Ar kansas City banker, is regarded as a most certain delegate to the conven tion from the Third district. For the second place on the list, the fight seems to be between Sam Fitzpatrick nil R. S. Litchfield, of Independence. Fourth district Republicans came to the banquet divided in their support. Charles E. Moore of Eureka, has a strong following, as have Dr. S. D. Fisher; of Reading, and Charles Haughwault ,of Onaga. In the Fifth district the Republicans may decide on Steve Hamilton, county attorney of Washington county, and V. A. Thomson, of Geary county. J. 11. Chase, of Abilene, may also be come a candidate. A. y. Miller, of Belleville, F. R. Fitzpatrick, of Salina, have also been suggested. Sixth district Republicans are pre paring to stage a pretty fight for the two places on the delegation from that district. The fight in that district is between Emmett George of Mankato, Ed Mullaney, Hill City; Charles Hall, Russell, and Fred Lockard, Goodland. L. J. Pettyjohn, representative from Ford county, is regarded as an almost certain delegate to the Chicago con vention from the Seventh district. Senator Emerson Cxrcy, of Hutchin son, is also a candidate. Friends of .1. N. Tincher. of Medicine Lodge, to day urged his candidacy for a place on the delegation. A. C. Jordan, of Lyons, Is also a candidate. Eighth district Republicans have suggested the names of J. H. Stewart, former senator from Sedgwick county; J. B. Adams, former state senator from Butler county; and W. J. Kreh biel, of McPherson.

Sell $950,000 Stock; Default, Then Sell $250,00 More. Oakland. Calif., Jan. 19. Charges that a coterie of Nevada mining men and bankers manipulated the Anna Belle mine in Washoe county, Nevada, so that they sold $950,000 worth of stock in it under one management and JL'oO.OOO worth under another were contained in a complaint filed in the superior court here yesterday by Hite H. Grove, an Oakland mining engineer. The suit is directed against the Ne vada United Mine company. Among the men accused are John Morrow, director of the Reno National bank; F. D. Stadmuller, director of the Was hoe County National bank, and James Brown, manager of the Postal Tele graph company at Reno. The complaint alleges that after selling stock to the amount of $950, 000, the directors defaulted on a suit for $700, and that the mine was sold by the sheriff for $1,500. The same directors are alleged to have re-purchased the mine and to have sold stock in the new company to the amount of $250,000. NIGHT SCHOOL GAINS Second Semester at Washburn Will Begin Next Tuesday. Enrollment for the second semes ter of the Wrashburn college night school will begin Tuesday of next week. The night school is now in its third year and more than fifty stu dents have been enrolled every semes ter since its beginning. The school appeals particularly to the grade and high school teachers of the city, as well as to Santa Fe employees and other working people, and the fact that opportunity is offered for work toward an A. B. degree has awakened a widespread interest in this depart men of Washburn. Prof. W. C. Wheeler is principal of the night school, and all inquiries in regard to entrance should be made to him. The courses that will be offered this se mester are: Spanish by Miss Ruth Kingman; German Lyrics and Ballads by Prof. T. W. Todd; History of Art by Mrs. L. B. Whittemore; Comparative Gov ernments by Prof. J. E. Kirkpatrick; American History by Professor Kirk patrick; Algebra or Trigonometry by Prof. W. A. Harshbarger; Public Hygiene by Dr. E. M. Twiss; German Drama in English Language by Pro fessor Todd; Physics by Prof. L. C. Pettit; College Preparatory Englisn by Miss Ruth Grandon. Special courses will be opened upon consultation. The classes meet one or two nights each week. The tuition is $2.50 per semester hour. Perhaps the old saw that the long est way 'round is the shortest way home is all right for a man in love but the county commissioners Friday af ternoon decided that Floyd Harris was not In !o-e so they disallowed his claim of 5 cents a mile for 830 miles which he says he traveled getting to the district court to testify in a crim inal case.

Post Most Historic Army Res ervation in the West. (Written for the State Journal by L. William Thavis.) Washington. D. C, Jan. 29. WTill the army service school be taken away from Fort Filey? It may be. An insistent effort is being made by Congressman James Hay of Vir ginia, chairman of the house commit tee on military affairs, and other col leagues from that southern state, to have the mounted service school of the army removed from Fort Riley to Front Royal, Va.. at which point is now located the horse training school of the army. Congresman G. T. Helvering. repre senting the Fifth Kansas district, in which Fort Riley is located, has en tered a vigorous protest against the proposed plan. He has gone so far as to interest Secretary of War Gar rison, showing plainly to that official what great expense the government would be put to should this army service be removed to the Virginia town. Mr. Helvering argued that the change would mean an outlay of $6,000,000, the total cost of buildings and equipment now used at Fort Riley for the service school. Wilson May Aid. While there has been imminent danger of the school being trans ferred to Front Royal because of that point being located in Chairman Hay's district, there is strong belief that the secretary of war and President Wilson will not approve or recommend the change because of the great expense involved in reproducing the buildings and transferring the equipment. Sec retary Garrison has already shown a disposition not to sanction the move It is not known what the president's attitude would be in the matter, be cause it has not as yet been brought to his attention. However, the mat ter will not be settled until after the army appropriation bill has been sub mitted to the house for consideration. It is argued by those favoring the removal of the school that the various buildings now occupied by it could easily be used by a part of the pro posed increase of the army which would naturally be stationed at Fort Riley. The Fort Riley military reservation contains 22,000 acres, and is practical ly six miles square. It is one of the largest and most important military posts in the country, particularly on account of the location there of spe cial schools for the education of young officers of the cavalry and field artil lery services. Kstablished in 1S54. The post of Fort Riley was officially established on June 14, 1854, by Coi. W. R. Montgomery, with a reservation eighteen miles in length and ten miles in breadth. The little town of Paw nee, which was within the limits of the military reservation, was excepted from military control, and here, in 1 855, in a stone building now standing near the Kansas river, the first Kan sas legislature, met for a few days and then removed the state capital from Pawnee to Shawnee Mission, in John son county, about eignteen miles south of Kansas City. Pawnee was wiped out of existence by orders of the then secretary of war, Jefferson Davis, and Capt. Nathanial Lyon (later the hero of Wilson's Creek) who made the first survey of the reservation, con ducted the work of tearing down the houses of those settlers who refused to leave the military reservation. In 1855, congress made appropria tion for enlarging Fort Riley into a cavalry post, and large shipments of material were received at Fort Leav enworth by boat, and hauled to Fort Riley, by wagon train. About the time construction began, cholera broke out, and the constructing quartermaster. Major Ogden, as well as a hundred other persons, died of the disease. Into Its Own in 1884. Little or no effort was made to im prove the post of Fort Riley until 1884, when congressional legislation, looking to the sale of a portion of the reservation, roused the attention of the war department to its great value as a "headquarters for cavalry of the army." Lieutenant General Phil H. Sheridan stated in his annual report for 1884: "Since, then, we have so good a place at Fort Riley, for all pur poses of cavalry, an establishment worthy of our great country should be developed there." A school for the instruction of cav alry and light artillery was established by an act of congress, dated January 29. 1887. and four years later the school was formally organized by Colonel James W. Forsyth, and desig nated as the United State cavalry and field artillery school, with subschools for cavalry and field artillery. But it was not until the school year, 1903-4. that a systematic and adequate course of instruction was inaugurated, such as exists in the present mounted service school. In this year the schools for farriers and horseshoers were es tablished, largely through the efforts of General William H. Carter, and on January 11, 194, the school of equita tion was started under Captain W. C. Short. The school for bakers and cooks was establisned February 14, 1905. On Golden Belt. Through the efforts of Senator Cur tis and Congressman Helvering an item appropriating the sum of $30,000 was incorporated in the book of esti mates submitted to congress by Sec retary McAdoo for rebuilding two spans of the concrete bridge across the Republic river, connecting the Golden Belt highway running through Geary county and Fort Riley reservation. The spans were washed out by floods some lime ago. The Golden Belt highway, stretching through a greater portion of Kansas, is one of the most improved roads in the state. Its construction is com plete with the exception of about five miles where it crosses Fort Riley res ervation. Mr. Helvering estimates that an appropriation of approximatly $26. 000 would be necessary for the gov ernment to complete this unconstruct ed link in the highway. He hopes to obtain the necessary appropriation for this purpose, or at least a portion of it, in the near future- ADMIRAL AT ODDS WITH NAVY HEADS I Vice Admiral Henry T. -Mayo (top) and Admiral Frank F.

The residence dis tricts of the city were today dotted with extra policemen and detectives searching for the mad gun man who late yesterdav and last evening shot four persons, in jurying two so ser iously that their recovery is doubtful. Three of ihe victims were shot through the back and one through the side with a revolver either equipped with a silencing device or fired through the pocket of a heavy ulster the man wore. Of the four shot, two heard muffled reports and the other two were not aware they had been injured until they fell from weakness.

"Women must replace auxiliary soldiers in the army clothing stores, uniform re pair shops, hospitals and, so far as possible, in the shell-making fac tories," says General Gallieni, in a statement made public this eve ning. Rigid instructions to this effect have been sent to the military authorities throughout France.

Plumb, it is claimed, will be given the senatorial nomination without opposition. John Simmons of Hutchinson, con gressional candidate tn theSeventh dis trict, stayed for both the bar meeting and the Republican banquet. He was the Republican congressional nominee in his district in 1914. This year he Is opposed by Frank Russell of Lacrosse.

Morgan, Governor Capper and other Republican leaders to secure an instructed Hughes dele gation from Kansas might prove an empty victory, even by winning. Re ports which have recently come from Washington have indicated that Jus tice Hughes may flatly decline to accept the Republican presidential nomination. Now the report is veri fied by the Chicago Tribune and other papers. In a special dispatch from their Washington staff correspondent, the Tribune declares Justice Hughe? will refuse the nomination and that "Roosevelt is ignored" in Washington discussion of presidential possibilities. The Tribune dispatch says: Associate Justice Hughes of the su preme court will soon make a public declaration that he will not not ac cept the Republican nomination for president under any circumstances, ac cording to a western Republican lead er who has been interested in "smok ing Hughes out." The authority for this statement. who would not permit himself to be quoted by name, said he and his friends recently undertook to sound Mr. Hughes to discover whether he would accept the nomination if It should come to him as the free will offering of the Republican convention. Most Reject Honor. The justice, it is alleged, made it clear if he were nominated he would be compelled to reject the honor. Mr. Hughes is represented as as serting the impropriety of a pupreme court justice permitting himself to be considered as a possible presidential candidate. It would drag the court Into politics and establish a dangerous precedent, he sal a. we nopea to se the day when no one would think of suggesting a supreme court Justice for Chicago, Jan. 29. Charges that criminals are being brought from New York and other cities to commit crimes in Chicago for the purpose of discrediting the city administration a re to be i n vest i gated by a special grand Jury scheduled to convene to day, according to police officials. In an alleged confession, made pub lic late last night by the police. Eddie Mack, notorious pickpocket, charged with leading the bandits who robbed the Washington Park National bank of $15,000, is said to have revealed a plot to discredit both city and county officials and members of the police department. Gunmen After Captain. "It was generally known among crooks that imported gunmen mere going after Captain Hunt, chief of de tectives, and Maclay Hoyne. states at torney of Cook county, because they were after the crook." Mack is al leged by the police to have said. "Cer tain politicians and police officials are bringing them into town." he added. Accordingly to the state attorney's office at least six police officers are implicated by Mack's confession In which he is quoted as naming several aa "fixers," for criminals and as hav ing accepted money for the protection of lawbreakers. Several police offi cers recently were convicted on a sim ilar charge. Assistant State's Attorney Frank Johnson, Jr., said today the grand jury, which meets at 10 o'clock, prob ably would be afked to return indict ments immediately against Mack, Charles and Harry Kramer. Alex Bro die and Harry Feine, who were taken into custody early yesterday, charged with the bank robbery. The jury. Mr. Johnson said, also would investigate the possibility that the men were in volved in the robbery of the local agency of Thomas Cook Son and the resultant murder of Policeman Bror Johnson.

"Our Sherman anti-trust act, while powerless to forbid any foreign com- j bination against us, nevertheless pur- ports to regulate our entire foreign j commerce, and apparently denies to our exporters every advantage of co- operative action to meet the condi- j tions of foreign trade. Our competi- j tors are encouraged by their govern- j ment to united in highly organized combinations. Our exporters are everywhere confronted by combina- t tions of foreign rivals organized to re sist our competition, and must often sell to combinations of foreign buy ers equipped to depress the prices of our products, fnder such a handicap our export trade has not even a fair sporting chance." payne; the pioneer Retirinj?

The accuracy of this account could not be verified tonight. Justice Hughes declines to discuss for publication any phase of the question.

6 2 YEARS AGO ANSAS BECAME TERRITORY Kansas-Nebraska Bill Was Passed Jan. 23, 1S54. Fierce Belmle in Congress on 1 Organization Law. ACT HASTENED THE CIVIL WAR f Renewed Slavery Contest Be tncen 'orth and South. Most Important Action in His tory of Congress. (Vritten for (tic State Journal by I j. W. Tlinvls.) i-VVashinpton, U. Jan. 29. The Kansas-Nel'raiika hill, passed sixty tWo years ago this week, January 29. 1S54, was tho art of congress by which the territories of Kansas and Nebras ka were organized. .It turned out to be one of the most important acts in the legisla tive history of the United States. It precipitated the final phases of the slavery struscle which resulted in the Civil war. It led to the reoganiza ti6n of political parties. It started a renewal of the contest between the North and the South over a question which had been regarded as settled for many years, at least by the com promise measures of 12U and 1850. It stirred the passions of the people of both sections, save rise to bitter and protracted controversies, both in and out of congress, and doubtless con siderably hastened a resort to arms. The bill sealed the doom of the Whiff party: it led to the formation of !the Republican party; it raised Lin coln and cave a bent to his great po litical ambition. "With or Without Slavery."

The bill, however, was rearranged through an amendment suggested by Senator Dixon of Kentucky, and Sen ator Douglas reported it, in its final shape, the KansasXebraska bill, Sun day, 62 years ago. Precipitated Hot Debate. This new bill provided that the ter ritory was to be divided into two parts, to be called Kansas and Nebraska, and stated specifically that the slav ery restriction of the Missouri com promise, "being inconsistent with thv. theory of non-intervention by con gress with slavery in the states and territories, as recognized by the legis lation of 1850, commonly called the compromise measure, is hereby de clared inoperative and void, it being the true intent and meaning of thiss act not to legislate slavery into any territory or state, nor to exclude it therefrom, but to leave the people therof perfectly free to form and reg ulate their domestic institutions in their own way, subject only to the constitution of the United States.' The bill occasioned a prolonged and acrimonious debate, and finally pass ed the senate on March 4, despite the vigorous opposition of Senators Sum ner, Chase, Kvorett, Wade, Hell ami Seward. The debate in the house was continued until May 8, when it passed by a bare majority of thirteen votes. The bill became a law by President Pierce's signature on May 30, 1854. HER IDENTITY LOST Rich Woman Fonnd in Chicago a Baffling Mystery. Fortune Found Hidden in Her Shabby Garments. Chicago. Jan. 29. Out at the Psy chopathic hospital, silent and appar ently unseeing, sits a little, gray-haired old woman in a shabby dress, who for days has puzzled the shrewd po licemen, the tactful police matrons and the learned alienists. They sus pect that she is mad, for she cannot tell whence she came, whither she is going, nor why she is In Chicago. Neither can she tell where she live3, though she does say her home is at "Navasata, Tex.," a place unknown to the postal guide or the railroad direc tories. She was puzzling enough through out the three days she has been un der observation, but interest was greatly heightened in her today when attendants found a small fortune stitched into her shabby clothing. Bonds. interest coupons, treasury notes, diamonds and even silver money were sowed into every garment she wore, to a total of J13.461.81. From the bonds and coupons it is inferred that her name is Mrs. Nana V. Haynes. The bonds were issued by the Continental bank of San Francis co. She has a railroad ticket reading from Santa Rosa, Cal., to Richmond, Va. From Santa Rosa it was learned that a woman answering the descrip tion of the one in the hospital led a lonely and mysterious life in a small hotel there from December 17 to Jan uary 20. She lived alone and cooked her own meals. She called herself "Mrs. Jim Smith" but when she left she signed her rail road ticket "Duchess Cromwell." She bought a ticket via San Francisco, Chicago and Washington to Fichmond and amazed the ticket agent by offer ing a $500 bill in payment. She opur ed the change into a paper bag with much other money, and took a Santa Fe train due in Chicago on Tuesday. Telegrams to San Francisco, Rich mond and a number of Texas cities whose names resembles "Navasata" have brought no indentification. DOUBLES IN A YEAR iaJn Inspection for 1915 Brings $73, 115.10 Into the Treasury. Grain inspection in Kansas by state inspectors has more than doubled in the past year and the department of inspection and weighing has a balance of $33,325 to its account in the state treasurer's office, according to the annual report for 1915. The report shows that in 1915, 89. 514 cars of grain were inspected as compared with 44,607 in 1914 and the fees collected in 1915 amounted to 573,115.10. while In 1914 the amount was $35,796.12. The number of cars weighed in 1915 were 35,781 and 7, 859 in 1914. Two years ago there were eighteen persons on the pay roll of the de partment, the report showed, and now the pay roll has reached eighty-five. The report further states that wages have been increased ten per cent and that $3,000 worth of equipment has been added. MINERS DEMAND RAISE Vote JO Per Cent Store for Soft Coal THggers; 20 for Day Labor. Indianapolis, Jan. 29. General sat isfaction was expressed today by the dele gates to the convention of the I'nited Mine Workers of America with the demands agreed upon yesterday to bt presented to the coal operators in the negotiations for new wage agree ment this year. Ten per cent increase will be asked for the soft coal miners and 20 per cent for the men paid by the day. Anthracite men are hoping they will not only receive an advance in wages but will be able to negotiate an agree ment for not more than two years. Leaders from the hard coal fields here say they have information that if con cessions are made by the anthracite operators the employers will demand a five year contract. The miners' or ganization is opposed to a long term contract. With the wage scale ques tion out of the way the convention to day took up matters affecting the or ganization. Final adjournment will probably be reached about Tuesday. In Wales wages of farm laborers have risen 20 per cent this year. United States in 1914 had a pot tery output valued at $35,398 161. ROUP OF COUNTY Kensington People Boast of Banner Corn Crop. Signs of Prosperity Are in Evi dence Everywhere. SHORTAGE OF GRAIN GARS 50,000 Bushels Corn Held in Three Elevators. Agents Cannot Supply Demand for Automobiles. Kensington. Jan. 29. To live and do business in the banner corn coun ty of the state for 1915 is an honor the people of Kensington point to with pride. In round bushels the farmers of Smit h county raised about eight million bushels. And Kensington is in this county. On account of the scarcity of grain cars, it is estimated there are close to 50,000 bushels of corn in the three elevators, besides that stored in the cribs on the town site. K. C. Wolfe, who operates one of the elevators hps about 25,000 bushels of corn and 15,000 bushels of wheat in sight and no cars on hand to ship it out. It was a Smith county old settler, who has retired from the farm, who said: "The farmers of Smith county are making more money and have been for several years than any class of business men in the county." 130 Loads of Grain Daily. Kensington is a big market center for the farmers of the section of coun try tributary. A record of one day's marketing shows that the three ele vators and flouring mill handled 130 loads of grain for the farmers.

In the State Journal a few days ago there was a statement made that in the oldest established bank in Raw lins county, the Rawlins County State bank, of Atwood. had a woman for president. The First National bank of Kensington has a woman president, Mrs. Ruth G. Ahiborn. She is atten tive to the affairs of the bank. So far as the business and stockholders are concerned, she is a valuable annex to the bank. This bank has recently installed fine new marble fixtures and a tile floor. It is now among the best equipped and most modern banking institutions in northwest Kansas. Can't Supply Auto Demand. Here in Kensington and in the coun try adjoining every family who wants an automobile buys one. There are 'three garages in the town, and it is said more than 150 auto3 were sold ,in 1915. More could have been dis posed of only for the shortage of the cars. A. E. Crosby was the latest one to engage in the work of operating a i garage and supplying the people with cars. Since August, last, he has sold about 50 Fords. Kensington has a modern electric lighting system and a fine water plant. The town has good brick and cement walks. Prosperity Everywhere. In the last year a dozen or more residences have been erected. This year promises still greater building improvements in town, with the chances of some brick business S houses and hotel being pushed to com pletion. It will be a Dusy year for j the farmers, and the prediction is mnde that the country will see one of the biggest building years known for many years. Prosperity shows up everywhere in Kensington. In her banks, in the sever'., mercantile houses, in her mill ing plant, the newspaper is well pa tronized, all show thrift and prosperi ty. And there is every indication of another big crop harvest.

I'ats Have Taken Over Old Frame Wichita County Building. Leoti, Kan., Jan. 29. The people of Wichita county are again talking of voting $50,000 bonds for the purpose of erecting a new court house to take the place of the little old frame build ing. The clerk of the district court now sleeps in the court house of nights to keep the rats from destroying the records. Rats in western Kansas until the last ten months have been unknown; and just how there come to be so many rats in Wichita county cannot, even by the oldest settlers, be ex plained. While the officers are doing their daily work they can hear the working of the rats under the old building and between the frame walls. MOLES DO XOT EAT CORN. Mlee Y the Iuinagc; Tlien Farmers ISiuuie tlie Moles. Manhattan, Kan., Jan. 29. Moles eat worms, not corn, according to Dr. R. K. Nabours, zoologist of the Kan sas State Agricultural college Because moles make their runs along rows of freshly planted corn and then the corn fails to come up, it is me common belief that the moles have eaten it and are therefore re sponsible for the poor stand of corn. The immediate responsibility. Doctor isaDours points out, rests on the mole's gue&ts meadow mice, white footed field mice, and common house mice. The mole runs furnish con cealment and lines of traffic for these small animals which cannot dig run ways or their own. It has been found by experiment that moles eat earth worms, grubs, insects, and other ani mal life but vegetable matter scarce ly at all. To avoid the damage it is easier to kill tho moles than the mice. and thus destroy Ihe lines of traffic trapping is the best means of ex termination. Additional information is obtainable from the zoology depart ment of the college. TO FEED STUDENTS RIGHT. Fittsburg Normal School Will Serve Scientific Lunches. Pittsburg. Kan., Jan. 2 9.

WAS A SCOTCH ADVENTURER Ross Opposed English Faction and Won the Natives. Cyclones and Sinking of Eradcn the Only Excitement. London. Jan. 29. The news that King Boss of the Cocos Islands has laid him down in the shade of the palms and died was cabled here re cently. The brief message rings down the curtain upon the last of the first ruler of the real, original comic op'.ra kingdom the Land of Cocos wl .ch lies upon the shimmering silver lap of the South Seas, a diminutive emerald world in a setting of pink coral reefs. Andy Ross was a Scotch adventurer who, after a roving youth, discovered and decided to cast has lot as king with the motley inhabitants of the lit tle story book kingdom. From 1827 until his death he was the oddest king, with the queerest subjects and the most extraordinary domain in all the world. His was a kingdom where the arrival of Sinbad the Sailor, Alice in Wonderland, Gulliver and the Boy Who Could Not Learn To Shiver And Shake would not have seemed unusual. His was a kingdom that put Romance into Real Life and Real Life in Ro mance. The Cocos Islands is distinct ly an O. Henry land, a place such as Gilbert Sullivan saw only in fancy, a spot that a Robert Louis Stevenson would be loth to leave. Ross Faction Won. Ross was king, court, government and owner of this group of Indian ocean isles, twenty in all, whose only excitement in history occurred during the present war the destruction of the German cruiser Emden by the Australian battleship Sydney, off the Cocos coast. King Ross was the third of his line. In 1823, an English adventurer named Alexander Hare settled in the islands with a number of slaves given him bv an Indian potentate. Two years later, Ross, a Scotchman, redis covered the islands and determined to colonize them. He returned in 1827 with a party of Scotch and found Hare in possession. The two factions settled by dividing the islands equally. Finally, however, the natives swore allegiance to Ross and he and his descendants have ruled their story book kingdom ever since. Interspersed with palm covered atolls and flanked by reefs of pink coral, the picturesque little group of islands is more like a scene from a musical comedy than anything else. In 1856 the British government ex tended protection to the Cocos. In 1885 parliament sent a commission to investigate conditions there. When the British warship with the commis sion on board steamed into the lagoon 'at Direction Island, the inhabitants jand the king and his court welcomed tlltfTXr JL1EC lire a, vvlHIV-UKVi-i.uiii Sea-island-king would be expected to do. The palace was thrown open to the Europeans: and the royal family, its salaaming Malay servants and their all was at the disposal of the men from civilization. War Bronjjht Only Excitement. All the people of the island group are of more than ordinarily powerful physique, muscular and lithe; quite Jack Londonish, in fact. The brown skinned natives speak their own lan guage with a Scottish burr. The white royalty speaks the native tongue too. "Pape's Cold Compound" is the Surest, Quickest Relief Known It's Fine!

Even the king himself knew little of the English tongue that his forefathers used..:- The chief industry is copra and coral gathering. There is no metal money. The king decided at first that money is the root for all evil, so he issued cards and not too many of them. The kingdom is administered on model lines. The king makes his own laws, polices his domain and provides every thing for his subjects. "When the cruiser Emden was sunk off the islands, the survivors of the crew commandeered the royal yacht and embarked for Sumatra. Aside from this, the only other excitement the islands have had is cyclones. The natives, king, royalty and all, out maneuver nature on these occasions by rushing into the lagoons and standing in water up to their necks until the blow subsides.

1.' f LOVE PEACE BUT WE MUST PAY ITS PRICE WILSON President Makes Initial Pre paredness Trip Speech. Minces "o Words in Demand That lT. S. Defend Itself. ARMY OF 500.000 TRAINED MEN Cautions Against Jingoes and Heated War Counsel. Appeals Not to Congress, but to Young 3Ien of Country. Pittsburg, Pa., Jan. 29. President "Wilson, opening here today his six day program of speaking in the middle- west on national preparedness. told a throng which packed Mem orial hall that the test of national pre paredness lay. not with congress, bur with the young men of the country in thfir answer to the call to volunteer and their employers, who should op pose n.. obstacle to free response. "And 1, for one." the president said, "believe both the young men and the employers will do their duty.' Half an hour before the president was due to speak Memorial hail was packed with 4,000 persons and a crowd ot several thousand stood Bl. the doors outside. Guarded by 500 Police. Tho president was closely guarded by approximately HoO police as he walked from the hotel to the hail. The intervening space was solidly packed with men and women, who cheered as he parsed. The arrival of the president was heralded by a fanfare of trumpets and the "ritar Spanned Banner." Mrs. Wilson entered first and was warmly u pplauded. When the president ar rived the crowd broke into loud cheriiiq. Ah Mrs. Wilson stepped out on the platform, the band played a wedding march. She smiled broadly. Presk'en: 'Wilson rose to speak umid applause. He declared he was conscious of being a truant from "Washington, but that he felt it his ctuty to report to the people on the affairs of the nation. He added he got more inspiration outside of Washing ton than inside it. Cautions Jingoism. "1 believe in peace. I love peace," he began. "I would not be a true American if 1 did not love peace, but i km-w that peace costs something, tliHt th only way you can maintam peace is to enjoy the respect of every body with whom you deal. "'There aie other counsellors whose miirt-fH of counsel is passion. It is not wise or possible to guide national policy under-the influence of passion. 1 would no ashamed of passion, of fear." The president aiso advised against the taking of advice of professional sailors and soldiers on some ques tions. 'It is time that we attempt to ap ply the standard of our own life to na tional defense. What do we want to defend Xeed 1 answer We want to defend the equnl light of the na tion as against all other nations and we wish to maintain the peace of the western hemisphere. "These are our sreat needs of de fense. Stands for Lilorty. "Mid you ever stop to reflect just what it is that America stands for She stands for the sovereignty of the self-governing peoples of the world, our aim, our assistance, our encour agement has thrilled two continents in this western hemisphere. This is what we stand for. "I, for my part, have a great en thusiasm for rendering America spir itually efficient. The plans for our military efficiency do not provide for a great army. We want only an army necessary for the uses of peace, but we want hack of that army a trained body of men. These men should be civil ians, men who know that the arts of peace come before the arts of war. "A plain gentleman in black, some times a very plain gentleman, often presides over the a.-my. Men should dread war and know that everything on which the nation depends comes from peace. Trained to Arts of War. "The details of the army plans do not make any difference. Perhaps others have better plana. But I do want an adequate and efficient force of at least 500.000 men trained to the arts of war, who will be ready to pro tect the nation. "This nation will not be stalked by ghosts and fancies. "I am proposing something" more than temporary. 1 is my conception that or the government has encour- n ged agricult ural training, it should also encourage industrial training and it is perfectly feasible along with in dustrial training to instruct our young men in the mechanism and handling of a rifle and guns and in the rudi mentary arts of warfare. "But we can't take the time now to develop and encourage these schools. We must train and equip at once a very considerable body of men. "The test of preparedness does not lie in congress. It is going to bo in the response of the young men of the country to the call to volunteer and of the employers of those men to place no obstacles to their answering the call. When it comes to the test, I believe America can produce as much sub stantial patriotism as any other land under the sun." Must Uefcntl Ourselves. The president's words were marked frequently by applause. He spoke rapidly but clearly. He spoke of the effects of the war to show the difficul ties facing America. "As your responsible servant I must tell you that the dangers are constant. I must go out and tell the people that new circumstances have arisen which make it necessary that America de fend itself." The president spoke these words slowly and solemnly amid deep silence. When he concluded that portion of his address the applause was marked. "We should be prepared," con tinued the president, "not for war, or anything that smacks of aggression, but for adequate national defense. "If I believed that the might of America was oppressing any free man .i- world I would wish America to be weak." But I do not believe that. I believe that the -might of America is the miRht of a righteous purpose, the might of a free people seeking to serve mankind. 'People Must Bo" for It. "And now, in conclusion, let me say that I do not want you merely to listen to speeches. I want you to become active partisans for national defense. I do not want you to go home and merely say 'The president seems to be a good fellow,' but 1 want you to realize deeply that the people must be for preparedness. "Out of what seems to be an in tricate debate, a ftrand plan of na tional defense, I believe, will result, a plan of real adequate national pre paredness." ON WAliSTREET President's Preparedness Cam paign Boosts War Stocks. Trading on Exchange Indi cates Oyerbought Conditions. New York, Jan. 29. An unusual variety of developments contributed to the week's declining movement In securities, which was only partly ar rested yesterday. Liquidation for for eign account and fresh commitments by the short interest In the stock mar ket were effective to a marked de gree, despite such favorable factors as the restored United States Steel com mon dividend and that corporation's remarkable statement of earnings, re sumption of the regular five per cent dividend by the at. Paul directors and advances in prices of such important products as iron, steel and other met als. Wall street also found encourage ment in the president's preparedness address which was reflected In high er quotations for war shares, addi tional excellent December railway re turns and the state of general trade as exemplified in the -swollen bank clear ings. On the other hand the indifference of investors and traders to these hap penings was m itself a cause of dis couragement. The success attending true sale of the New York state $25, 000,000 four per cent bond issue proved the soundness of inherent financial conditions which might be more obvious but for the heavy of ferings of our stocks and bonds from abroad. In connection with the foreign situ ation, Washington's rejection of Ber lin's terms regarding the Lusitania incident and growing irritation at England's uttitude regarding this country s European postal service served to renew apprehension in quarters where that feeling had been stilled. In the main, however, the reac tionary tendency of the week was traceable to the existence of a weak technical market. The character of trading indicated an overbought con dition, particularly in specialties, and this situation will probably have to undergo readjustment by the- usual process elimination of weak ac counts. BOUNCER IN SUIT tnntlmi"l from fng On.l the petition details their movements to the Orpheum theater, to the Pen nant cabaret, where they had lunch and wine, and from there to the Kd wards cabaret. Tiring of cabaret life, the petition shows them iixt at the register of the New Kdwarda hotel registering as "Arthur J. Blake and wife. St. L.ouU, Mo." It takes them from there to room 327 and leaves them there until morning "when breakfast was served to them in their ruom. The petition ad mits that Bollnger returned to Topeka the afternoon of December 15 on the Oolden State Limited. Kline then states that in explana tion of her trip Mrs. Kline declared she had gone to Kansas City with her mother and a friend of her mother's. He t ales that the same afternoon Mrs. Kline met Bolinger at the Na tional hotel in Topeka and that he, Kline, went to the hotel and pleaded with her and begged her to return to him. Mrs. Kline was undecided and he left. Later, he says, he telephoned to her at the National and she stated she would be home between that time and midnight. At 11:15 that night I t-he reached home, and according to Kline, Bolinger was with her. i Story of Sick Father. Further along Kline states that on December 18 Mrs. Kline came to him with a story about a telegram she had received telling of the serious illness of her father at Hannibal, Mo. He gave his consent for her to go. After she had left the house he discovered several things missing that made him suspicious. He sterted on a round of the railroad stations to find his wife and while on his way back from the Union Pac.fic station he states he met his wife and Bolinger driving north toward the Btation. He hurried back north and reached the Union Pacific just as Bolinger and Mrs. Kline were boarding the train. He describes Bolinger's appearance as "white and restrained." That ends Kline's recital of hi wife's unfaithfulness and what he de scribes as the "shameless activities and machinations of her attorney." He asks that judgment be given him for costs', that the court investigate Bolinger's actions and that the matter be taken up with the supreme court to secure Bolinger? disbarment. He Was Warned. Mr. and Mrs. Kline were married September 12. 1910. and have no chil dren. The answer- in this case has been prepared for several days, it is sam. Konnger has also had the di vorce petition prepared for some time, it is aaid. He was warned that If he filed the divorce petition for Mrs. Kline, the answer with its damaging contents would also be filed. The answer was really filed early this morning, but because of compli cations it was desired that both of the district judges look It over. It was not open for inspection until the judges had looked it over. Judge H. Whitcomb returned the answer to the clerk of the district court at 1:45 and at 1:46 o'clock Bolinger had se cured the answer and bolted from the court house. He was not at his office half an hour later. Kline's answer was drawn and is signed by Clad Hamilton and D. H. Branaman. as attorneys. Wisconsin Gets Withington. Madison, Wis.,- Jan. 29.

The state "movie" censor board is to have new quarters. Down in the sub-cellar ot the slate house, there is considerable space that is not now be ins utilized. W. D. Uoss. state super intendent of instruction and chairman of the censor board, has discovered. Mr. Ross immediately saw where some mere of the J1.0U0 per month reve nue that the state derives from the censorship of pictures could be saved. So as soon as a path to a sub division of the sub-cellar underneath the tax commissioners' affice can be cleared, no more pictures will be censored in the "movie" houses. At present the proposed new room has a dirt floor. This will be covered with concrete. Mr. Ross says. The bare rock walls will be whitewashed and two of the three possible exits from the place are to be closea. A movinsr picture machine and a sheet are to be installed. Then the censora will be ready to so to work. It is highly probable that some little time will be lost during the first few days while the censors are unac quainted with the numerous passages underneath the state house. A little uneasiness engendered by the fact that the room is below street level and an almost perxect firetrap may also af fect the work of the censors for a short time. Little furniture is to ba placed in the room and excepting the censors and the films practically nothing that could be damaged in event of an ex plosion, will be allowed in the place. Mr, Ross is not anticipating an explo sion serious enough to start a fire that might destroy the building, he says. Besides it is no fault of his that the stale carriej no insurance on its prop erty. He's merely Roing to save hU commonwealth several dollars every month. MISS GARSIOE HERE Former Globe Sights Artist on Ed Howe's Paper Visiting In Topeka.

"No man, woman or child with a petition will be permitted to approach and every man on duty will act quickly." The chief told of the experience of a local secret service man, unknown to the Washington detectives, who got tired while following the parade and stepped upon the dashboard of Pres ident Roosevelt's car when he was here. Instantly a gun was stuck un der his nose and a mounted officer cracked him on the head with a club. To Avoid Mistakes. Twcnty-fiur hours before the pres idential party arrives a couple of gov ernment detectives will drop in at the police station and make arrangement. Until then even Chief Parsons does not known what arrangements will be made. The local force in plain clothes will get acquainted with the Washington men so that no mistakes can be made. At the Santa Fo depot Wednesday morning police will see that the crowd stands back while plain detectives mingle with the bystanders. The Kansas National guard will act as a guard of honor to the president and mount guard at Governor Capper's home and at the state house. Two presidents, Roosevelt and Taft, have visited Topeka since the regime of close protection to the president was started, following the assassina tion of McKinley. In both instances they were cloocly surrounded. "So don't carry guns you can't ac count for and don't crowd the presi dent," say the police. In every case the rule for them to follow is to hit and then ask questions. LOCAL MEHfioiT Painless dental work at moderafe prices at the "White Dental Pa rlors, 809 Kansas Ave., Phone 714. -Adv.

SliJed at Politics. In delivering his- address before one of the largest crowds gathered at the Commercial club in months. Senator Burton made no men lion of politics or political aspirations and confined I himself entirely to a discussion of ways and means to develop a city. De scribing Kansas as distinctly an agri cultural community. Senator Burton outlined ils undoubted future as a re sult of the increase in food products and the statefertile soil for raising same. However, no commonwealth or com munity can expand to its fullest capa bility, he declared, unless there is a diversity of business and an enforced demand of fairness from other com munities; for instance, equal freight rates. Then he launched into the pos sibilities of Topeka as he paw them and the important part the men of the community must play in developing them. Don't Keep Vp. "Many cities remain stationary," he said, "because they do not develop as fast as the country surrounding them. Topeka is surrounded with every thing necessary for a manufacturing city of agricultural implements. One of the most fertile agricultural coun tries in the world is on all sides. three ;f the biSBest railroads in t the 1 rick iaml cement. Yet it ie not so much tlra natural resources of a community as the men in it that develop a city. It is on account of the men who lived in De troit, Cleveland and other large cities that the cUres became- large and wealthy. You must co-operate." Senator Burton decried the habit of questioning the motives of every in fluential man who enters into public life and declared this did more than anything to put public service into disrepute. "The people are to blame if condi tions are wrong," he declared. Also he c-xprosfpd himself in favor of a generous expenditure of money for public needs with the usual "pork barrel" left out. DON'T KNOWA SOLDIER Senator Stillings Says Americans Xever Saw the Real Tiling. That the people of the United States don't know what a real soldier is and that "Preparedness" at this time is the only safe policy to pursue were statements made by Senator Vin ton Stillings of Leavenworth, who is here to attend the Kansas Day club banquet this evening. Senator Stillings is well qualified to make the state ment as he was a student at Heidel burg, in Germany and since his grad uation from that famous university has made several extended visits to Germo ny. For years he has been a close stu dent of German history and military art and is a great admirer of Bis j marck and the German soldier. He J has told friends for years that Ger I many cauld whip all of Europe and now it seems that his statement is bc- ing verified.

CLEAR THE SHOPS German's Evangelist Story Emphatically Denied Today. X. II. Wolff Says Man Didn't Work at Santa Fe. To tho State Journal: I have investigated the story told by the German, AI. Ktemherger, about being discharged from the Santa Fe thops for an answer he stated he made to an evangelist, and have found there is absolutely no foundation for it. The man was never an employee of ihe Santa Fe and my investigation shows no such incident as was re ferred to occurred. It is true that I gave the German a letter to Mr. Drury, superintendent of the shops, asking that he be given employment, but my information is that he never present ed the letter. Neither Mr. Drury nor Mr. Cain, his chief clerk, have ever seen the man. I can't account for the story he has told his friends nor did I have any thing to do with making: it public I have not seen Steinberger since I gave him the letter to Mr. Drury last Mon day, although he did report at my place ot business that he had secured work at the Santa Fe.

Instid of dashing off one long, deep brain rackink eddytoriul on some single subjeck it ockurd to us that it might be a good idee for a change, to dash off say two shorter eddytoriuls on two seperate distinkt subjecks just for the sake of variety and also becuz we don't seem to be able to think up a subjeck important to dash off a long eddytoriul about in this ishue. It aint as easy to dash off a eddy toriul a collum and a haff long as you might nacherly think it would be, and if some of you more ig norunter subscribers of the Bugle don't think so then try it, that's all we've got to say. Below you will find the 2 eddytoriuls referd to and we hope they will come tip to your expecktashions. EDITOR BUGLE. EDDYTORIUL ON INDUSTRY Industry is a good thing for a person to have, and it would be mutch better if more folks in Bingville was pervided with this vallyble comoditty. If everybuddy in this town was filled with indus try Bingvile would be twict as big as it is and bizziern a beehive. In fackt. the common or garden variety of bee is held up to us bv histry litterclioor as the emblem of industry. Soon as it gits warm cnuff for bees to bizz around in the ?pring until late in the fall when tliey git so num cold they can't skeercely fly you'll alius find a bee bizzy from daylight to dark storin up honey and workin like a beaver. Yon don't newer see a honey bee stoppin to loaf in the shade on a hot day. A bee won't stop for nothink exept praps to sting a per son who interfears with his rights. Vv'eU, why don't you be as bizzy as a bee instid of wastin vour time i in repinin? If you would work erly and late and make hay whilst I the sun shines you would be in comfortable circumstantces and in dypendent, whereas like as not as it is your're morgaged clean up to the handle and can't skeercely raise the intrust on same. If we wassent industrious as ed aitor prop of the Bugle we would of been in the poorhouse long ago. I In fackt, we thort we was a going Jfel Copyrighted, into bankrupsy on several occa shions, but by industry we have managed to keep the wolf from the door. Industry is our motto, and you'll notis that the emblem of the Bingville Bugle is a bee at the top of this page. Most of the folks in Bingville is too dadblamed lazy to come in outen the rain or git outen the shade in summer. That's why they don't amount to nothink. Now let us take up the next subjeck, whitch is HONESTY IS THE BEST POLICY. Somebuddy has said that "honesty is the best policy," and we persoom this is true, but according to the way some of our deadbeet sub scribers acks who is back from 10 to 15 yrs on subscripshion, we cal kilate they don't take mutch stock in the theory. If they did they would step into our offis and pay us a few dollers on their paper and enable lis to pay our honest debts. If everybuddy who owes us would pay us a cupp'.e of dollers on their back subscrip shion we would waller in the lap of luxshury so to speak indulge ourself in the bare necessities of life for a spell. If Hen Weathersby, prop of our general store, would conduck his self on the theory that honestv is the best policy the scales he weighs sugger and other groceries on would weigh about five ounces lightern they do at present and he wouldn't sell eggs as strickly fresh whitch has been in his store for weeks. Yes. honesty is the best policy, but Bingville folks don't seem to of found it out as vet. READ THE BUGLE FOR RED HOT EDDYTORIULS ON DIFFERENT SUBJECKS! Home on a Visit We was turrible surprised totlicr day to receive a pleasant call at the Bugle offis from Clarence Wiegins a former resilient of Bingville who left this town two yeres ago to make his mark in the world and now has a lukertive pn sishion as janitter in a big bilding at the co seat. j Clarence is home on a vissit to his parents for the 1st time sinst he went away and has so changed we diddent know who he was until he told us. He now wears a stand up coller whitch reaches to jest below his ears a brite red necktie and has creases in his pants as sharp as razors. Clarence has lernt to smoke cigarets and swear almost as wicked as old Abe Wiggins his father besides menny other accomplishments too ntimerus to mentchion. When Clarence left Bingville he was sent as dressy as he is now and diddent roach his hair back nor wear collers high enuff to choke hisself todeth. In them days it was all his mother could do to git him to wash his fase onct per wk.

Dad Henderson, our oldest inhabitant says he never seen the wind blow as it done for a few hours on Thursday and Dad has kep track of the windstorms in this town for the past 60 yrs. Thursday morning dawnd brite and fair but crisp and cold and it looked as if we was a going to have a right nise sort of a day, but along about 10 a.

Miss Sally Hoskins left Hen Wcath ersbys store where she had went to purchase a spool of thread jest as the storm was at its worst. The wind blowd poor Sallys skirts around in a turrible ridicklus manner and turnd her umbrella wrong side out. Jest when this happend she met Sim Goo kins who laft at her whitch made Sa'Iy so mad she hauld off with what was left of the umbrella and hit Sim a clip over his head with it, after whitch she continued on her way home with het hat down over one eye until she couldnt skeercely see where she was goin.

Hoke said his head bumped and thumpt jest as if some person was hittin him with a maul and he wouldnt want a snake to have sitch a bad hedake as he had. However, Hoke, theres one consolashion and that is you must have something of importance inside your head to ake or you wouldnt suffer from hedake. Mrs. Cy Hoskins had a darnin party at her residence last Thursday after noon to whitch several of our most respeckted ladies was invited. Tea and crackers was served. The ladies said afterwards all they darned was Cy Hos kins socks and altogether they must of darned 20 prs.

When the Western league magnates Katht r in Lincoln, Neb., on February 14 to arrange the playing schedule for the coming season the gathering may not resemble what Henry Ford once thought a peace conference should be, and it is more than likely that there will be the usual scramble for holiday dates at home, and the usual vain ef forts of magnates to manufacture the ideal schedule will probably be exert ed Also there is a possibility that some of the magnates will go home thinking they didn't get just what they expected. IJiit, in one thing there is certain to be harmonv. Kvery magnate who at tends will agree- that- a schedule of the -hortest mileage possible be adopt ed, and in order to cut down the dis tance that will have to be traveled some of them will probably sacrifice some of their other desires. For, be it known that the recent raising of inter state passenger fares has caused the club owners to study the railroad maps more diligently than they ever did be fore. Wg Item. Transportation has always been an Important item in the Western league. The average club of the league travels between seven and eight thousand mile on a 140-gnme schedule during a season, and with fifteen or sixteen men the increased fare means that everv club will have to contribute be tween fne and six humlreit dollars more to vhe railroad coffers this i sea son than they did last. And If the schedule is increased, as a number of club owners claim it should, their in creased contribution will be more than One of the club owners in contem plating this additional drain on his bank roll leaned back in his chair and sighed as he remarked: Ye they get us going and coming. It's too' bad the clubs in the league are not within walking distance of each other." John Savage, owner oi u club, is not giving out any informa tion as to what he expects In the way of at-home dates, but inasmuch as Topeka had onlv one holiday, Labor Tay l ist season it is generally thought that the local club will be at home on the Fourth of July this season. There Is no chance for either Topeka or Wichita to get Decoration Pay games, as there is a state law In Kansas pro hibiting baseball on this day. Length of Schedule. It nlo seems to be impossible to get anv idea as to what the length of the schedule will be. .So far President Zchrung has not given his opinion on the matter and some of the club own ers are for a longer schedule while other., have come out In favor of Stick ing to the 140-game program, and still others have not expressed themselves. However, it seems probable that more than 141 games will be played. Local interest in baseball has re vived considerably since tne announce ment of the I1U31 inner in iiiEviiy jemo v iniiciu appointment of Second probably win be represented in a pro tmore as mnnaper of the firi v1qokqh i Baseman Latti Savages, and most or xne Tans seem iu, If tne cttizen8 here can raise the think that he will prove a great leader money winfield will be a member of The Savages now have 21 players tne pro lsed Kansas state organiza lined up for the coming season, xour-;tioni which will be composed of team3 teen rrom iasL jw new men. all or wnom win urs.eiy brought on when spring training be gins.

"With a good pitching staff, which I think we have, and with a bunch of good hitters, I believe we can make them all hustle" Savage stated in a re cent interview. "I look for a much better year than last year, in a finan cial way, and I hope there will be a great deal more enthusiasm here and in every other town in the league. Cer tainly we are going to do everything In our power to arouse interest in To- peka and to give the local fans a team t they will be proud to follow." Minute BY"CI.UG PENNSYLVANIA WANTS TO PURIFY ATHLETICS Philadelphia, Pa., Jan. 29. A campaign for the purification of college and school athletics was launched here Friday at a meeting of the Association of College Presi dents of Pennsylvania. The asso ciation, which Includes in its mem bership the heads of all the promi nent educational Institutions in this state, decided to adopt a one year's residence rule for students coming from other colleges and to frown upon the practice of granting schol arships for athletic ability. NORMAL HERE TONIGHT Emporia, Teachers Will Play Ichabod Quintet In Washburn Gym. Tonight the Washburn basketball team will play the Emporia Normal quintet In the Washburn gymnasium, the game being the last on the local court for the Ichabods before they make their tour to Sallna, Llndsborg and McPherson next week. Tonight's game will start at 7:30 and a lively contest is anticipated. The Normals are going good and In the race for the state title, and the Ichabods are very anxious to win at least one game from a strong team. Coach Gray's men have been given all the practice they could take this week, and are reported to be stronger than they have been since the season opened. Their team work is better and they are more accurate at goal shooting. On the other hand, the Normals are still feeling the sting of the defeat they received at the hands of the Aggies and will probably try for a big score to bury it under. SANTA FEES AND M. P.'S LKAI.

Quigley Is the Greatest Traveled ALWAYS ON THE GO Noted Kansan Trayels More Than 28,000 Miles a Year. Baseball, Football and Basket ball His Specialties. THERE IS NO OFF SEASON' He Is Kept Busy From Janu ary Until December. First Made His Reputation at K. V. and St. Marys. Ernest C. Quigley, of St. Marys, Na tional league umpire, basketball ref eree and football official, and one of the most famous Kansans who ever made a national reputation In the world of spcrt, has the unique distinc tion of being the greatest traveled sport official in the whole wide world. If you don't believe that Quigley holds this distinction, alone, without a rival, take a look at these cold facts and figures and then produce, if you can, someone to dispute them. Quigley is probably the only man in the United States who makes offi ciating his sole business and profes sion, working at it twelve months a year, and his reputation as an engin eer of basketball, football and base- uaii guinea ceruiiniy exienus over a. greater amount of territory than any other whistle blower or indicator manipulator in the country. From the Great Lakes to the Gulf of Mexico and from beyond the tallest peaks of the Rockies to the nose of the longest neck of land that dips into the At lantic, the famous Kansas Celt is known as a sport official and he spends practically all of his time trav eling over this broad area for the pur pose of "handling games." 28,S97 Miles a Year. But if you are still unconvinced, take a peep at the figures. During the past year Quigley has traveled a total of 28,397 miles, going from place to place to practice his profes sion. This distance is more than the total distance around the world by i several thousand miles. It is more than nine times the distance from j New York to Liverpool, and almost j SO times the distance from Chicago j to New York. j There Is no off season In the offi- i elating game as "Quig" follows it, and he is on the go every month in the year. Beginning the first of Jan- J uary he is kept busy as a basketball i referee until March is well under i way. From then until October he wears the mask of a baseball umpire and from October until December he devotes his attention to gridiron games and usually during the latter part of December when he is anxious to do a little Christmas shopping for the family he is pressed into service to handle the few pre-season basket I ball contests. I Busy All the Time. j "His Umps" is considered one of the best basketball authorities in the Mis souri Valley and his services are al- I ways greatly in demand all over the valley. Last season he traveled 4,049 I miles In going to and returning from basketball games, and this year he is booked to work In forty some odd games before the season closes. As soon as basketball is over, Quig ley gets out his mask, chest protector and indicator and goes to the baseball diamond. For the past few years he has been a regular National league umpire- considered one of the best the Tener staff ever boasted and in 1915 he traveled 18,641 miles going from one National league team to an other to umpire. All of his trips during the baseball season, except those between New York and Brook lyn and Philadelphia are made in sleepers, so it is readily seen that his railroad fare amounts to a goodly sum in the course of a season. In fact, it amounts to more than the average salaried man makes. After the baseball season is over, "Quig" returns to his home In St. Marys and remains there long enough to shake hands with his old friends, cover up the flowers to protect them against the winter freezes and shovel enough coal into the cellar to keep his family warm until spring. Then he gets out his football tools and be comes a football official. Long Football Trips. Last season he covered 5.707 miles in the capacity of a football official, working in games in Kansas, Missouri, Official in if.- ft ;;;J ri pi A lis The Greatest Traveling Sport Official Inline World, jff Nebraska and Texas. And as a foot ball official Quigley proably has made his best reputation. The name he has made for himself on the grid Iron is indicated by the fact that the university authorities paid his ex penses from Kansas City, Mo., to Austin, Tex.- a distance of 1,114 miles and paid him a handsome fee besides to go to Texas last fall to of ficiate in the Texas-Notre-Dame grid iron contest. Quigley Is a product of the Univer sity of Kansas. However, he first made a big reputation for himself iry the world of sport at St. Marys col lege, where he turned out such foot ball and basketball teams as the school had never before seen. Believing that Quigley's mileage rec ord is so much greater than that of any other official in the world, and believing that it will prove interesting, it has been compiled in detail as fol lows: Miles.

Sport Wheezes -BY CLUG Tonight the Washburn Ichabods and Emporia Normal goal tossers will hold an argument in the Washburn gymna sium. Since the Normals were unable to do anything with the Aggies, the Icha bods hope to make it an interesting game. 1 The promoter who conceived the idea of holding boxing bouts with mu sical accompaniments certainly knows the tastes of the modern fighters. Many of them are better dancers than fighters. When the Western league club own ers gather in Lincoln next month to make their 1916 schedule the Lincoln rotary club will entertain them with a luncheon. I President Zehrung, the new head of the league, is a prominent Rotarian and ex-president of the Lincoln club, and the Lincoln Star announces that the Tiger Rotarians are planning a great baseball booster campaign for the coming season. IT NEVER LEAKS. In playing all games,' the same rule i applies, A man's never bumbled s'long as he tries. Prtns; a failure's no cause fbr shame. Many have fallen who now lead In fame. All pups must be trailers when first they track. All have been trailers who now lead the pack. To a man who's a man failure but fils Ills soul with more fight and the game more thrills. Indications are that amateur base ball will attain a prominence during the coming season it has never known before. The amateurs are organizing in all the principal cities and are get- ting on a more solid lounaation. I For the past several years Topeka i has had a high class of amateur ball, furnished by the City league. But, ac i cording to the announcement of Presi- dent Snyder, the prospects for the j coming season are not so bright as I they have been in the past, and inter j est seems to be lacking. I The Masked Marvel, Mort Hender ,son, proved about as easy picking for I Joe Stecher, the Nebraska grappler, as Cutler and the other marvels have, i Unless Lewis or Gotch do something I to Mr. Stecher pretty soon he will find himself without opponents to conquer. I Western league club owners have until the first of March to send con tracts to players and John Savage, of the local club, states that he is in no hurry about the matter. So far Wich ita and Denver are the only clubs that have announced that contracts have been mailed. BASEBALL SCRIPTURE. Surely the churning of milk brlng eth forth butter, and the wringing of the nose hrliigeth forth blood; so doth the hitting of many sale ones fatten a batting average greatly. The spit ball king and the speed monarch, Ty Cobb liatli made even both of them look foolish. In a little court proceedings, arising out of the Stecher-Masked Marvel bout, it was disclosed that the M. M.. Strangler Lewis and the other top liners in the N. Y. tournament have been receiving straight salaries just like actors do. Well, if they are not actors what are they? This week's issue of Sporting News 'states that Pitcher Goodbred. pur chased by the local club from the I Brooklyn Nationals, is under a "war itime contract" to Brooklyn. If this is I a. fact, and if he will not release Brooklyn from this contract Topeka is i liable not to be able to hold him. as i under such a contract Brooklyn would 'have to pay him the difference bs- tween what the Topeka club would j pay him and what his "wartime" doc ument calls for. And there is a West iern league ruling that forbids signing j players under these conditions. i BETHANY GOING GOOIL I Coach Brown of the Bethany basket" Iball team has high hopes of winning Uhe state championship provided he can steer his quintet clear of serious injuries between now and the close of the season. To date the "Terrible Swedes" have played seven confer ence games and have won six of them The team is now going at top speed, and a new man of ability has been brought out in the person of Carlson, a center, who played in the game against Cooper Thursday night and asquitted himself well. The next game Bethany will play on her home court will be w;th Washburn on February 4. John Savage, owner of the Topeka W. L. team, and Duckey Holmes, new manager of the Lincoln Tigers, have recently been dickering for a trade, but to date no swaps have been made. Holmes, it is understood, would like to cop a couple of the Savages and of fered to swap some of his new ma terial for them, but Savage couldn't see things in the same lip-ht the Tiger Charlev Stnril.n' ti,. the Savages last season, who is now a student at K. U.. is in the city spend ing a few days with relatives. Charles l" mm uuumnre will make the Savages a first class manager. GOLF PLAYERS WARNED.
