CORPS 0FM0T0RS Kansas Auto Owners Into Mili tary Service. Plan Advocated by Charles I. Martin, Adjutant General. SUBJECT TO CALL OF NATION Pistol Practices and Drills With Iiegular State Troops. Organization To Be Known as Autoniohile Reserre Corps." Kansas automobile owners may be organized into a military reserve corps, under a plan advocated today by Charles I. Martin, adjutant general. The proposition was submitted in a letter directed to Governor Capper and may mean that 80,000 automobile and motorcycle owners may become an ad junct of the reserve corps of the state militia. Plans for the mobilization of motor car owners was first proposed by au tomobile manufacturers. Then the theory was considered and approved by L. M. Garrison, secretary of war. Other prominent men approved th plan and now the matter is checked up to Governor Capper for action in Kansas. In a degree, at least, owners of cars would be placed under supervision and direction of the state military authori ties. Plans for pistol practices and drills by owners and drivers would probably be worked out and motor e6r owners might be assembled at the same time Kansas troops are called into service for the summer encamp ments. The organization would be known as the Automobile Reserve Corps and in time of need members of the organization would be subject to call or direction by the military authorities of the state or nation. "This might be of great advantage I to the state and nation in time of need. It should be encouraged," said General Martin in his letter to Gov ernor Capper. Practice tours are also proposed by the men who originated the plan and every owner of an automobile, motor cycle or motor truck would be eligible to membership in the reserve corps. The matter will be discussed in detai! when Governor Capper returns from Wichita. CAPTUREA RAIDER British Cruiser Seized Appam Captor Off Bermudas. Run nine: Fight for Three Hours 750 Germans Taken.

Advices here today assert that the G?rman warship Roon, alleged to be the captor of the Appam has been captured by the Brit ish armored cruiser Drake after a three-hour fight 200 miles east north east of Bermuda. The capture of the Roon is said to have been followed by the seizure of two merchantmen flying the German flag, one of which was armed. The story is contained in a message which rads: "Drake here today towing Roon. Took her 200 knots east northeast Bermuda three hours running fight. Lost Danforth eighteen men. Her losses about one-third. Struck as we came abeam. Two merchantmen with her, one armed. Took both. Brought her. Segrave on sighting Roon said: "Please God. today I will avenge Cradock.

"The south is with the president ab solutely on preparedness," he said. "I think every member of the Georgia delegation, both congressmen and senators, will vote for the president's plan.

Leading German bankers and financiers, with large in terests in America likely to be affected by a break between the two countries, are standing firmly behind the foreign office In its refusal to disavow the sinking of the Lusitania. This much was learned today upon adjournment of the conference of big financial men and corporations here f today. Practically no voire was atj raised against the attitude of the Ger man government, it was stated. Lead ing bankers expressed the hope that there would be no severance of diplo j matic relations between the United States and Germany but agreed that the government could not admit the sinking of tho Lusitania an illegal act.

The latest reports from America, in dicating that a crisis may already have passed, were reflected on the stock market where all issues in volved by the Gorman -American con- troversy turned stronger during y-s- terdav's trading.

CAN'T 'GERMANIZE1 U.S. General Miles Seouta Continental Army Plnti; 1'rafacs Volunteers. Washington. Feb. 9. Lieutenant General M iles, retired, denounced the continental army before the house military committee here. "It would be a very dangerous step toward centralization, that would put a tremendous power in some future president, he said. "Its un-American Yon cannot Germanize American citi zens." General Miles praised the national guard, declared compulsory military service unnecessary, favored three year enlistments, recommended a standing army of 1 40,000 or 1 r0,0u0 and submit ted an army organisation plan of his own for recruiting a force of 1,200,000 men by expanding the units of organi zation. He said the national guard should be organized the same way. He said it would be easily possible to rais1 2.000,000 men if necessary in a reason ably short time. Volunteer Superior Soltlier. General Miles said the conscript was not as good a poldier as the volunteer. He said that the United State was daily man 11 fact uring more war materials than any two nations abroad are using in the &arne time and that the experi ence in the Dardanelles shows that gvrns' aboard ships are no match for fortifications and submarines. "Overseas expedition.-3," he said, "al ways have been very expensive and as a rule disastrous. To cross the Atlan tic or Pacific oceans to land in the United States would be a very serious undertaking." An enemy, he said, might be able to put a force of 400,000 men on its ships but would never be ablo to land that number on United States fhorea DEPUTIES ABE NAMED Tax Assessor Prepares to I.egin Work March 1.

To clear up any lingering doubt as to the identity of Jean Harald Edward Saint Cyr, hus band of the widow of "Silent" Smith, the World reproduced today fac-aim-iles of orders on the books of the tail or who for several years dressad Saint Cyr. Samuel Jacobs has made clothes for many years for Broadway cele brities actors, baseball stars',, world champions, club men and financiers. Saint Cyr, avowing the ambition to become the "best dressed man in New York" favored Jacobs with the first patronane he could afford after mak ing the acquaintance of Mrs. Caroline Ked field of Hartford. lie Was J. H. Thompson. But when Saint Cyr placed his first order it was as "J. H. Thompson" the name under which Jack Thomp son registered when he applied for clerkships at Wan.imakers and Saks. He was introduced to Jacobs by Oscar St. Cyr, who told how Thomp son coveted his name and suggested that it would be an asset in winninf! an heiress. i on January 13, 190S Jack Thomp- son gave his first order to Jacobs for two suits, an overcoat and a dinner coat, costing $150, on which he paid a deposit of $50.

This second order appears on Ja cobs' books under the name "J. T. St. Cyr" and in the index appears as "Jack Thompson St. Cyr." SAVES KANSAS AGAIN The Rev. Fcstus Foster Censors Anna He-Id's Show. As though Kansas needed someone to revive the days of grasshoppers, drouths. Populism, Mary Klizabeth Lease, "Sockless" Jerry Simpson and the more recent Cones "patella" bill, the Keverend pestus Foster has stepped into the breach. Xow Anna Held, the actress, is willing to take oath in zipping, ripping French ac centthat all the learends of Kansas vagaries are exemplified in the action of the Reverend Mr. Foster in reject ing the "Madame La. Presidente" film. Continuing his course of guiding and safeguarding the tender morals of Kansas, the Reverend Mr. Foster re jected the new French film in which Anna Held starred. T.iis week Anna Held is appearing in a Kansas Citv theater. K the Reverend Festering Foster using the appellation of a number of disgusted Topeka club women should visit Kansas City this week, Anna Held will pnt reverse Kng lish on her speech when she tells the personal representative, of. IX Ross, state superintendent., just what she thinks of his action. Sliced the Film. Several days ago the Reverend Fes tus Foster felt that a moral shock was about to overtake Kansas. So he sliced about 100 test of Anna Held's best work from the popular French farce in. which Fannie Ward made a notable success. It was all done, of course, to safeguard innocent, unso phisticated, pure minded Kansas from a blush of shame. When Anna Held heard of the action, though, she shrugged her alabastine shoulders under cover of course and reaffirmed a growing Impressiomthat the vagaries of th human mind are quite beyond the realm of worldly knowledge. "I am sure," she said, as only she could say it, "I Jo not know. It e?s unknowable, monsieur, ze vagaries of ze human mind. I assure you, zere is nothing shocking. I do not, I never have, monsieur, played ze shocking. It ees so commonplace I cannot under stand. A leetle lingerie here, a leetle exuberance there, and perhaps a dar ing situation zat ees all. "But, tiens, I am Parisienne enough I do not need ie situation; I can make ar.yzing wicked if I choose wiz my eyes what cannot -behave, eh, f,nd other zingz but nozzing liko that in 'Madame La Presidente;' not a zing." A MllECROSSER (Contlnued from Page One.) to the interstate commerce commis sion conceded that the returns were in consistent with the prosperity of the railroads and the welfare of the public. "I Mas Dumbfounded." "I was simply dumbfounded," de clared Thorne. At the beginning of the hearing the sub-committee voted down a proposal to have the full committee hear the case. That was regarded by some as a first victory for Mr. Brandeis, on the ground that the sub-committee was favorable and the full committee hos tile. The full committee, however, will I act on the sub-committee's report, and senators who are not on one side or the other professed to see no particular significance in the action. Mr. Thorne said he was uncertain how far he should go into details, but began a review of proceedings in the big rate cases. Mr. Brandeis1, he said, characterized his testimony as "won derful" and suggested it be published at once, so the public could see the other side of the question. Thorne said he suggested that Mr. Brandeis, in view of his intimate relations with Senator LaFollette, might get the testi mony printed as a public document Cites a 1910 Case. Mr. Thorne interrupted, his narra tive to say that in the 1910 case Mr. Brandeis had limited his activity to showing "if the railroads are entitled to more revenue, how shall it be se cured Returning to a description of his testimony he declared he was con gratulated upon it by attorneys and representatives of many interests. Mr. Brandeis and he participated in cross examination of railroad witnesses and their relations "were most friendly." During the progress of the case, Mr. Thorne faid, two attorneys sought to show .the adequacy of the railroads' revenue as a whole but the clients of both compelled them to abandon that course. He read from Mr. Brandeis's brief to show Mr. Brandeis knew two points were before the commission for consideration, first, adequacy of the revenue, and second, if inadequate how additional revenue could be se cured. When it came time for oral argu- ment of the 1913 case, Thorne said Brandeis outlined to him how the ar guments would be made. Conceded Enemy's Case. "When he fiist received a copy of Mr. Brandeis's brief. Thorne said he was surprised to find nothing in tt about adequacy of rates. He asked Brandeis what his position was to be and the latter responded he believed some of the roads were not earning enough money and he thought condi tions were unsatisfactory in Ohio, Michigan and Indiana. "At the opening of Mr. Brandeis's oral argument he made this state ment," continued Mr. Thorne, read ing from the record: 'On the whole the net income and net operating revenue in official clas sification .erritory are smaller than are consistent with their prosperity and the welfare f the public and con ditions are bad in central association territory', and also other roads he cause of the central association scales. "I was simply dumfounded by the statement," declared Thorne. "For four years the railroad had been, fighting to establish that before the interstate commerce commission. They had carried on a nationwide propa ganda in newspapers, magazines, speeches and in every conceivable manner, I am not -saying dishonestly.; Involved $30,000,000. "I was dumfounded to hear at the conclusion of this great case, involv ing 5 0,0 00,000 annual interest on a billion dollars if you adopt the standard of dollars and cents the greatest case ever tried before a hu man tribunal since the dawn of civ ilization, to hear counsel concede the very point at isue at the time the cane was set down for argument."

Oil Heaters in Bus Probably Were Cause. St. Louis, Feb. 9. Four persons were made unconscious by automobile poisoning and eight others were made ill today while making the trip in an automobile bus running from Gumbo to Clayton, St. Louis county. The driver, Chester Colver, fell from his seat unconscious. Fred Hackman. a passenger, took Colver's place at the wheel. Before he could drive the car to Clayton, three other passengers fell unconscious, and eight more became ;11. The three unconscious passengers were given medical attention when the bus reached Clayton and they quickly revived. Colver, however, was not re vived for thirty minutes. The body of the bus is completely enclosed, and the vehicle is heated with two oil stoves. Today ,.th passengers noticed that the driver was acting queerly, he re fused to take two fares that were of fered him, drove near the edge of this road, and permitted the car to run ui a zig-bag course. It was apparent that Colver was ill, and just as Hack man offered to relieve him, Colver fell unconscious. SPURNS GERMAN OFFER Continued from Pare One.) Uie Vatican, says the newspaper, has not been ascertained. It is said that Germany through Prince von Buelow and other prom inent personages has stated that the terms she is ready to. offer Belgium for the concluding of a separate peace comprise the restoration of Belgium to the government of King Albert and the payment of a large indemnity for damages caused by the invasion and the occupation and that she asks in return, economical and commercial privileges which would practically transform the port of Antwerp into a German center of traffic. To these proposals Belgium replied with a prompt refusal, declaring in tention to adhere to the allies and not to conclude a separate peace. State ments regarding efforts being made to induce Cardinal Mercier to use his in fluence in favor of proposals for a separate peace have also been made, but it is asserted that they have been entirely in vain. Cardinal Mercier is living in strict retirement at the house of the Redemptorist Fathers in Rome where he receives no visitors and where he is recuperating from an attack of grip. Cardinal Mercier is occupied in working out plans for the re-constitution of the ecclesiastical seminaries in Belgium in accordance with the pro visions of the new Roman congrega tion which has been appointed by Pope Benedict, to take charge of sem inaries throughout the world.

Mobile, Ala., Feb. 9. Operators and organized mine workers from western Pennsylvania. Ohio, Indiana and Illi nois resumed their Joint wage confer ence here today, taking up the discus sion where It was broken off by ad journment yesterday when business conditions in the soft coal mining country were being considered. The operators, instead of accepting the de mands made by the mine workers for an increase in wages, offered to renew the present wage scales n April 1. The coal companies today maintain ed their position that business condi tions in the bituminous coal field did not Justify the mine workers asking for an advance in wages, while on the other hand, the United Mine Workers pointed out that prosperity was gen eral and that it was being felt in the coal business as well as in the steel and other industries. Reject Kleven Demands. The demands formulated by the United Mine Workers of America at their recent convention at Indianapolis were today formally rejected as a whole by the operators of the central competition bituminous coal fields and tho joint conference of employees and employees at once took up for dis cussion the eleven demands sep arately. This is the usual formality following in the interstate conferences. The first demand taken up provides that all coal be weighed before be ing screened and be paid for on a mine-run basis. This is one of the most important on the list. President John P. White, of the miners' union, urged the adoption of the request on the ground that it is the only equit able basis for the payment of what the miner produces. Former state senator, William Greene, international secretary of the miners' organization and author of the Ohio anti-screen law, repealed in that state recently, contended that the mine-run basis of payment was an advantage to both operators and miners, in that it resulted in the pro duction of more coal per acre than if the fuel were screened. He was of the opinion, he said, that a majority of the optrators in Ohio were not opposed to mine run. i TO SUCCEED WILSON Allen Botsfortl Is Made Editor of Federal Prison Paper. Newspaper men confined in the fed eral prison at Leavenworth are few and far between but those who find their way behind the prison walls are always good men from a professional point of view and the loss of Charles AI. Wilson, former Hearst reporter and editor of the Federal Prison New Era. isn't going to cripple the editorial staff so much, after all. Charles M. Wilson was paroled Saturday after serving nearly two years for white slavery. Now Warden Morgan has appointed Allen Botsford of Cincinnati editor of the paper. Botsford worked under John R. McLean, publisher of the Cin cinnati Enquirer, and then began pub lishing the Owl. It was while Bots ford was publishing the latter paper that he became entangled in the law and received a sentence for misuse of the mails. SPOTS ON MOON (Continued from Page On Miss Vernon's connections with tho Congressional union, the affair has decided significance in Washington and among advocates of national suf frage. Not for publication far, far from it there are new spots on the moon and the women are preparing for a fight that will in all probability be carried into the campaign next fall. Of course the women do not care to divulge these secrets. Yet the idea of pr'.paredness is gaining converts among former staunch advocates of peace. As for Miss Vernon person alities are out of it. Certainly. Also Mrs. Monroe. Why Dr. Harding is Mrs. Monroe's phyjician. "I don't want to go into personal ities," said Miss Vernon, who is pained, crushed, humiliated because of the attack by Dr. Harding' "No sir, I don't want to be personal. I don't think I want to say anything about it the horrid affair I am quite certain I don't. But, well Just here Miss Vernon jabbed her elbow into a fancy pillow and smiled her softest, sweetest smilo. In My Home Town Never." 'lf I were in my home town where people know me best. Dr. Harding wouldn't dare such things about me. I was never talked about so cruelly in my life. I just know Dr. Harding wouldn't dare say such things in my home town. 'I have no answer to make to The personalities in which Dr. Harding has indulged, but I would like to clear up the mystery as to why I am in Kansas, an equal suffrage state. The con gressional union, which I represent, works exclusively for the passage of an amendment to the constitution en franchising: women. If The amend ment is to pass in the present session, it must have organized support in every part of the country. So branches of the union have b-?en formed in every state. The equal suffrage ;tates are indeed the most important places in which to organize, since it is our purpose to prove to political parries that the national suffrage amendment has not only sentiment but respect compelling the votes behind it." Sho Quoted Mrs. Monroe. Miss Vernon denjed emphatically that her purpose in Kansas was to do other than urge the passage of the suffrage amendment. i Asked concerning her authority for the statement sent to Washington in ferring discourtesies to Kansas women by President Wilson and Secretary Tumulty. Mips Vernon quoted Mrs. Monroe, who had received the state ment second hand and repeated it to t the congressional union representative. I Take Her Medicine. Mrs. Monroe, Over the telephone today Mrs. Mon roe declined to give for publication j her authority concerning the presi dent's remarks while in Topeka, She also declined to reply to Dr. Harding. "Why, I take her medicine, she is my physician," said Mrs. Monroe in most soft and soothing tones. "I wouldn't make things worse for the woman for anything. I even want her to get the congressional nomination. Then, too, I don't believe in chasten ing those you love. I don't like to chasten my friends. Z even, believe that you can't call a person everything and then expect to hold, their friend ship." t Mrs Monroe was told of conflicting reports concerning the reception fc of Kansas suffrage workers by Presidentt Wilson. "Certainly." was the kindly re sponse. "Certainly. It really seems that a lot of people ought to read the poem of the blind men who went to see the elephant." AYord From "Home Town. From Wilmington, Delaware, came defenses for Miss Vernon. It was stated in Topeka today that Miss Ver non had solicited statements from representative business men of her home town in an effort to counter the fight directed by Dr. Harding. Ar thur C. Davies. news editor of the Wil mington Evening Journal, today sent the State Journal this endorsement of Miss Vernon: "Mabel Vernon attacked by suf fragists not agent of political organization. Straight out con gressional suff. Has done great work in east everywhere. Re spected daughter of deceased Wil mington, Dela., newspaper editor owner. Attack an outrage." So back in Wilmington Miss Ver non's home town the gossip of the row among Kansas women is also -a. matter of concern. Calling Dr. Harding. In Topeka today the party telephone lines are heavily loaded with conver sation. It is all because Miss Vernon came to Kansas. In the office of Dr. Harding, the telephone bell jingles al most constantly. Since the first pub lication of her interview in the State Journal, Dr. Harding has been a busy woman. She has received scores of offers of support in her fight on the Vernon-Monroe organization. And some of the parties at the other end of the line expressed a quite different sentiment. WARNS PRESIDENT fOo n tinued from Page One.) made public, it is understood to have emphasized three conditions he found to exist in Germany. They were: The the Berlin givernment, in the instructions tt was then for warding to Ambassador Born storff. was makinp its final con cession in the Lusltania negotia tions. Finds Bad Feeling. That as a result of the feeling against America for its stand in the case, there was a growing de mand on Von Tirpitz by the min ority for a return to a policy of unrestrained submarine warfare on all belligerent ships. That severance of diplomatic relations between the I'nited States and Oermany would in evitably result in war. The House cablegram actually reached the president while he was in St. Louis. It was in code and was not decoded until the president reach ed Washington last Friday afternoon. Coincident with the delivery to the president of the House cablegram, he was handed a communication from Secretary Lansing, said to include re ports from Ambassador Gerardt re garding the latter's knowledge of Ber lin's "last word. Corroborate House View. Gerard's reports, it is stated, were pessimistic as to the outcome in the event of President Wilson not accept ing Bernstorff's instructions as a basis for settlement. rThe president is said to have been deeply impressed with Gerard's com munication. It was corroboration of Gerard's "gloomy outlook" and the House report that decided the presi dent and Secretary Lansing to an nounce to the country that the situa tion was grave. They were convinced Germany would offer no more. GIVESUE TO PACIFISTS Approval of Peace Court Refutes "Blood Dividends' Charge. Washington, Feb. 9. Addresses on "Commercial Relations Between the United States and China," by Ir. Wellington Koo, the Chinese minister, and "A Business View of Peace to Come," by Edward A. Filene of Bos ton, a member of the executive com mittee of the International Chambers of Commerce had the attention of delegates at today's session of the an nual convention of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States. In presenting a partial survey of condi tions expected to confront the United States at the end of the war. Mr. Filene declared that the chamber's re cent referendum approving the pro posal that the country take the initia tive in the establishment of an inter national court to settle the disputes of nations has "effectively given the lie," to the charge that "the chief interest of American business men in the war is the chance it gives then to coin the agony of Europe into increased divi dends." Mr. Filene said it was the clear duty of the United States and the states of South America to take steps to com plete a Pan-American program which will include international arbitration with power behind it to enforce its operation.

WHEAT Wheat gath ered fresh strength today notwithstanding that at first some uncertainty was shown, llolls relied 'chief! v un the fact that the deunl at Liverpool ccm tinned to exeeed the supply and on opinions that damage reports from the domestic winter crop belt wore likely to become, more numerous.

After opening (Ji'Ve off to v4c up with Mav to $l.'i0-4 and July at $1.2"J74 to yi.SS". the markpt sagged a little and then scored a moderate general advance. Subsequently prices underwent a decided reaction as a result of what seemed to be a waiting policy in the export trade and because of free country marketing in the southwest.

t THE TQPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL WEDNESDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 9, 191(5 Up to the 5portingNew3( From Everywhere. HE'S A GAME BIRD Tex Itickard Is the Dread naught of Sporting World. As a Fight Promoter He's in a Class by Himself. Tex Kiekard, the man who is put ting up $67,500 for the 10-round TVil-lard-Mman fifth t to he staged in Njw York March 1 7, has again demon strated the fact that hp is the game?t sport in the whole wide world. KUkard first demonstrated this fart (Six yea rs ago, on July 4, 1910, when he offered the- unheard of sum of $101,000 for the .lohnson-Jeffrics iitrht at Uono. This was the largest amount that had ever been offered for a fistic encounter hy many thousand dollars, and th "wifco guys" predict ed that it would he the biggest pugi istic failure in hl.-rtory. They also predicted that It would break Tex as lint as a flounder. lint, instead of going broke. Riek nrd mad monoy out of the affair -enough of it io go to South America and become a cattle king. And now It is coming ba.-k for mo it. and is taking a higher gamble on the VVil-iard-M ir:m than he took when he brought Jeifrivs and the bis black to gether. l.r st week when the t x-ranch man a -A r eO t give Willa rd $47,500 and Mor.in Jl'O.OOO for the proposed tight, h" tn-t a high mark m-xer before dreamed of in the realm of 10 round boxing. In addition to the money he will pay the principals this gamet of all promt-ier." must pay the New York state b- xipff commission approximate ly $5,00 for t- e right to stage the bout. And in add. (ion to all this, he must pay fnx- the rental of the place where the light will be staged, inci dental expenses, etc. Ami the -spectacular manner in which the 'menus promoter landed the light entitles him to some more credit still. Curl?y, who has an in terest in Willard, was one of the big rcst bidders for the bout and natur ully had the inside track in all con siderations. But Rickard cpiietly got Morana signature to a contract, and then by threatening to offer a purse ff simila r mag nit ude for a Moran I iIIon light, if Willard would not come to terms, he forced the Kansas champion and his manager to sign to protect t!v. ir pla. e in the limelight.

The date originally agreed upon was March 17. but it was changed because Madison Square Garden, the only available place for holding the match here, had been previously engaged for that date. While a tentative agreement already hud been signed for the bout between Tom Jones, manager for Willard. and Ike Dorgan. representing Moran. Rickard announced that Jones and Iorg!in would meet again today to sign the final articles. THK SAMK SAO feTOIlV. Washburn Basketball Team Ixst Tenth (.aim? Tuesday Night.

Attributes (,nmtli to Athletic Work. Wakeeney. Kan., Feb. 9. The Tre go county high school basketball team has been successful in every game played this season, winning over Wil- son twice, Russell twice. Ransom, Oak- ley and Hill City once each. The en i rollment of the school has steadily in creased year by year. The attendance has been regular and persistent, an unusually high percentage of the total enrollment remaining in school until completion of the prescribed course, thus giving the school a high rank in these particulars. This is largely attributable to the in terest taken in clean athletics. Courses are maintained in normal training, domestic science and agriculture. Within the last year an additional teacher has been employed, and a manual training department installed, with standard equipment costing $400. Twenty-four pupils, somte of them ex graduates, are now taking manual training and doing excellent work. SHOT RABBIT AND HlMSrXF. Shorty" Strother. K. I'. Football Flayer Victim of Gun Accident. Lawrence, Kan., Feb. 9. George "S'aorty" Strother, for three years a member of the K. U. football team, was injured late Tuesday afternoon when a shotgun was discharged as it fell to the floor at 3 tr other's resi dence. The charge entered St (other's left leg, causing a bad flesh wound above the knee. He was taken to the uni versity hosoital where it was reported the injury probably would not be per- manently disabling. I Strother had just shot a rabbit in the back yard of his home on Mount Oread. He leaned the weapon against the wall of his house. A door slammed, causing the shotgun to fall. Millionaires Are s2i!a -Baseball With Much Vigor New York, Feb. 9. The entrance of millionaires into baseball marks an era in the pastime. These men either have made their money through their own business ability or inherited it from efficient ancestors and it follows that they will have their baseball clubs run on big business methods. Tt also stands to reason that these millionaires will spend a lot of money on their teams, and in a few years it may be that the clubs backed by men with fortunes will have gathered all the star players. A little more than a year ago the Yankees were bought by Colonel Ja cob Ruppert Jr. and T. L. Huston for sometning like $410,000. The com bined wealth of these men is said to be about $25,000,000. That they will spend money has been shown. They have put more than $100,000 into new players. He Couldn't Have N, L "MAGS" BUSY 31 ore Power Given to Tener at New York Meeting. I Seating Capacity of the Bleach ers 31 ay Be Reduced. I w York. Feb. 9. The most im portant action taken at the opening session of the National league's recon vened annual meeting here Tuesday was to increase the power of John K. Tener. by a constitutional amendment which provides that in tne case of pro tested games there shall be no appeal from the executive's decision. In the past there has been much haggling over the findings of the president on disputed games and in many cases ap peals have been taken to the board of directors. Another radical measure, proposed by President Kbbetts. of Brooklyn, would prohibit any club from having more than two iDousand 25 cent bleacher seats. At present the Boston club has 10,000 such seats, the St. Louis club, 9.000; the Philadelphia club, 6,500; and the Cincinnati club, 4.000. The question will come up to day. To Change Diamonds. It was voted to change the official diagram of a baseball diamond in the official rules to correct errors discov ered by John Foster, of the New York club, in regard to the pitching dis tance, batter's box and the proper lo- j cation of second base. j All National lea gut ciamonds will be resurveyed before the 1916 season starts, a nd certitiea reports or tne surveys will be sent to the president of the league. Mr. Ire fuss proposed an amend ment to the playing rules requiring that the shortest distance from the home plate to the outfield fence on fair ground shall be 270 feet, instead of L'35, as now stipulated. The amend j merit was submitted to the national i commission, as it deals with a subject I which both major leagues must vote j on. Today the Cincinnati club is nego tiating with Patrick Powers, represent ing Harry Sinclair, of the federal league, for the services of Pitchers Al bert Schulz and Gene Packard. Schulz jumped a New York American contract to go with the Buffalo Fed erals and Packard jumped the Cincin nati club's reserve clause to go with Kansas City Federals. IOWAN HIGH AMATKl'R.

They are said to- be worth about $5, 000,000. The Braves have been purchased by men with backing estimated at $30, 000.000. Arthur Wise, a banker who figured with Percy Haughton in the deal, represents big interests. Charley Weeghman recently an nounced that his partners in the pur chase of the Cubs are J. Ogden Ar mour, the packer, and William Wrig ley. chewing gum millionaire, and sev eral other wealthy business men. It is estimated that the new owners have combined resources of $75,000,000. The recent deals have brought into baseball keen business men and cap italists whose combined wealth is more than $100,000,000.

There will be Collins and Murphy and Schalk and Cicotte, and a few more famous birdd who have been making baseball his- i tory for the past few years. And in discussing the Willard- j Moran fight, the fact that Moran is j the highest paid challenger in pugil- j istic history may b-3 worthy of -com- ment. Moran will get $20,000 for his tilt with Jess, and a bonus on the side. j There is no record of any other challenger getting anything like this, j It is generally thought that Willard j received nothing for his battle with j Johnson. Certainly he got very lit tie, and it is claimed that he left J Havana with a debt of $10,000 hang- i ing over him. j Here are the figures on some of the most prominent ring battles in his- tory: Wolgast got $2,500 to fight J Nelson, who received $14,000. John- j son got $5,000 to fight Burns, who re- i ceived $30,000. Jeffries got $2,500 to i fight Fitzsimmons, who received $40,- 000. Welsh got nothing to fight Ritchie, who received $25,000. And of all these weie finish fights, too. j Because no suitable man could be found to meet the Nebraskan, the j Joe Stecher wrestling match in Kan- sas City has been called off indefinite- j ly.

The game is played with a 3-pound "medicine ball, and is x cross be tween regular tennis and volleyball.

With the epistle was enclosed a clip ping from a Waco paper showing that ihe former Topekan is making quite a bowling reputation for himself in the south, being the leader in the city tournament with an average of 176 for 45 tournament games. Bob is play-, ing on the Elks team. Peebles !ocal friends will be glad to hear that despite his bowling, he is keeping up his old golf form. He won from the Texas state champion last week with a score that set a new record for tne Huaco club course. Next June Peebles will have charge of the Kansas state championship tourna ment at Emporia, and he probably will be in Topeka frequently during summer. TOUCH THE HARF GENTLY.

How could Germany restore Belgium to the Belgians and maintain her positions in the western arena of the war? And I is silly to suggest that she is thinking of giving up the latter. PLANS PAY. There is one respect in which the cii y man often gets ahead of the farmer, says the Kansas Industrialist. Just about now the urbanite begins to read the seed catalogue and to plan his garden. He usually gets more pleasure out of the plans than he does out of the garden -if the latter actual ly materializes at all. In the seed cat alogue the radish looks like a turnip; the city dweller is much more likely to find, when it comes to stern reality, that his turnip much more closely re sembles a radish. The farmer, on thr other' hand, gets his fun and his liv- j ing out of real, honest-to-goodness I rops and not catalogues or plans, i Z'cr that reason he is likely at times io iv.rot ht plans. It Is perfectly true that the city gardener's plans fre quently fail to materialize, but that does not condemn the making of plans. The farmer 'ho.' plans Well arid fhen knows how to carry out his plans effectively has the edee on the man who goes at the season's work hit or miss. And now is the planning time. T1IIXK IT OVElt. That's a commanding Idea project ed by Phil Kastmah, 'the. secretary of the Topeka Kair association, for a col- i iseum at the fair grounds to seat 15 4)00. This would seem to solve Tope- ka's problem of providing accommo dations for any and every crowd that might gather here in the best possible way- Morq than that, as Mr. Eastman points put., it would put Topeka in line for some of the big stock shows that are now staged in other places chiefly because Topeka hasn't the facilities to handle them. And what a great convenience it would be for Topeka's big free fair. Mr. Eastman's suggestion is worthy of most careful consideration. t'flL'IM'H STATISTICS. The Kuropean war did not, apparent ly, sc rfously affect the prosperity of the churche's of the t'nited States in 1915. A net increase of nearly 654,000 com municants, says Dr. H. K. Carroll, the ecclesiastical statistician, speaking for the Federal Council of Churches of Christ in America in a bulletin just is sued, if not unusually large is certain ly not abnormally small. It is fairly distributed among the larger denom inations, excepting the Lutherans, who report a loss of nearly 11,000 for the year, much of which may be ex plained perhaps by faulty returns. The Catholics added nearly 188,000 to their numbers, the Methodists upward of 144,000, the Baptists nearly 131,000, the Presbyteriana over 69,000, of which the northern body had nearly 53,000 and the southern almost 22,000. The.se last are quite unusual gains. The Protestant Kpiscopal church is larger than it was by 15,648. An in teresting fact is that the gains in the south were quite extraordinary. The southern Baptists had an Increase of 1 16,000 and more, and the Southern Methodistsof 66.000: adding the South ern Presbyterians the net increase of these three bodies was more than 204.000, or well on to a third of the aggregate gains for the year. The re- turns for the Disciples of Christ for 1915 are not yet ready. They would probably odd materially to the in crease of the year. A remarkable feature of Dr. Carroll's statistics is that there has been a net decrease, instead of the normal increase of churches. The actual loss is not large, only 158, but in 1914 there wan a gain oi over 1,300. The Luther ans quite unaccountably appear to have lost nearly a thousand churches during the year, partly due, perhaps, to defective statistics. Even in the south, which had so large an ingath ering of members, there was little in crease 'Vt Vhtrrete ':Theoqhern Baptist convention reports losses as about offsetting gains; the Method ist Church, South, had a net increase of 96 and the Southern Presbyterians of only 8. The Northern Methodists gained J 83. Several of the Presby terian bodies, which enjoyed an un usual increase in communicants, show a falling off in the number of churches. The northern church, for example, has a net loss of 138. Doubtless the hard times that seem to have come upon the churches in the rural regions, and which have led to the closing of a number of churches which were formerly flourishing, and to the consolidation of many others, accounts at least in part for the de crease. The grand totals of minis ters are 180,607, an increase of over 1,700; of churches, 225,334. a de crease of 158; and of communicants, 39,380,718. a gain of 653.640. In their finances the churches generally have not suffered. The total income for foreign missions was $1,600,000 great er in 3 915 than in 1914; that for home missions shows a falling off of about 1730,000. A very large amount in the aggregate was con tributed through the churches for war relief of one kind or another. The increase for the quarter century since 1800 is very large. Denomina tional groups of 100,000 communi cants and upwards, embracing all but about 2,100,000, have nearly doubled their numbers. Having 19,828,000 in 1890 they now have 37.255.000, indi cating a net gain for the twenty-five years of nearly 1 8,000,000, or more than 98 per cent. THE NATIONAL GUARD. -"While ;the federal government maintains each regular soldier at an annual cost of about $1,100 per year, it contributes to the maintenance of the National Guard soldier but $35 a year," writes Major-General John F. O'Ryan, commanding the National Guard, New York. ir. tho February is sues of American Defense, a magazine published for the American Defense society. "In the states where effi ciency is low it will be found that such states contribute an equally insignifi cant amount. In states where effi ciency Is high it will be found that the state has made up the deficiency. In New York state, for example, the stae contributes five tim?a as much as the federal government contributes for the maintenance of the New York division. And so it is thit in Now York state the government gets $200 worth of efficiency for Its $35 invest ment, while in other states the gov ernment gets $36 worth o' efficiency for its $35 investment and complains about it. To make the force homo geneous throughout the country anl to exoand its numbers from tha m-a. j ent strength of 127,000 tc several times that number, thera should be greater financial assistance and mor adequate federal control. Anypolicy or plan which rejects thd utilization of the National Guard of the country as a part of the firtt line will probably fail for the reason that the people know, a a business prppesition, that the Nationa? Guard can be made effec tive by proper provision for federal control and adequate financial sup port. The people of the country will doubtless not approve scrapping a plant, the value of which approxi mates two hundred millions of dol lars, represented ir. armories, rifle ranges, camp grounds, stables, supply depots, store houses, arsenals, and in other things. The National Guard forces of the country in recent years have undergone a vast change in sen timent as well as in organization and efficiency. They are now ieady for federalization on an equitable basis, but they do not wish their organiza tions, many of them with historical traditions, broken up, nor do they wish to be used in an experimental way. They have existed for many years and their progress has been the result of a steady, healthy growth. Their person nel is made up largely of the best military sentiment in each community. j where an organization is stationed. Jt is found from experience that fre quently those who know least about the National Guard of the present day are those who served in it at a time when conditions were not as they are now. Under existing plans of the war department, the regular army and the National Guard consti tute the first line of the nation's mili tary power. A plan to expand, co ordinate and render more efficient under federal domination these two organizations will be found to meet the approval of thenaticn and will re sult in a dependable and efficient force."

(By Izola Forrester.) Perhaps the fault which led Eliza beth into the most perplexing situa tions was her habit of jumping at con clusions. It had done so before, often and often, yet the lessons of the past had the most fascinating way of van ishing utterly when they were most needed, leaving her defenseless, a vic tim of her fancies and impulses. So now, as she was mounting the stairs to her studio suite and heard a decided moaning behind the doors of No. 9, she went straight up the hall way and tapped on the door. "please, please go away," came a smothered, tearful sort of voice from within. Whereupon Elizabeth felt ca pable and protecting, and she spread her wings at once in brooding fashion over the unknown neighbor in evident distress. "I live over you. Let me come in," she urged. "I can't go away and leave you crying like that." "But I'm not ill at all. I'm only only wretched. You can't help; truly you can't." But Elizabeth was gently, firmly in sistent, and finally the door opened, and she faced a most peculiar and in volved situation. On the couch, face down in its pillows, was her girl neigh bor. Beside her on a table lay many parcels, unmistakably store parcels, unopened, and standing by the door which he had just opened was a young man, gloomy and thoroughly resentful of the intrusion. "Why, I'm sorry I thought you were alone," faltered Elizabeth. She was so large and dimpled and amiable it was impossible to be cross with her. "No, I'm with her," returned the young man. grimly. "But she does not approve of me. If you're her neighbor why have No, I know the way she does. No one man can get acquainted with her. She has lived alone in this infernal little dumping ground of art and starved. I said it starved!" Elizabeth looked at him fixedly, as she would have at any strange new specimen, lie evidently was not fa miliar with the spirit of let-aloneness that pervaded this corner of the square. She had not even known there was a girl student in the room be neath her until she had happened to see her at the door one day. Life was too full of endeavor to waste on cultivating ordinary social amenities. The young man went on. almost sav agely appealing to Elizabeth: "I knew there was something wrong and I came up to see how she was getting along. When I found out she hadn't eaten in two days "Beast!" came from the pillows, with thoroughly vindictive unction. Elizabeth's mobile mouth had .diffi culty in retaining its pleasant curves as she heard it. "And she refused to let me take her out and feed her up or lend her any money. So I went out and bought up things and brought them back, and now she's insulted." "It was brutal of you." The girl sat up, and pushed back her hair. Really, she was awfully pretty at short range. Her hair was fair and tan gled as a sleepy child's, and her eyes were very dark. She fairly glared at the young man. "Lid I ever give you the least reason even to imagine you could buy me groceries?" "Molly "If I had wanted help, I would have found it." "Where?" "With my neighbor upstairs, haughtily, but with a little smile at Elizabeth; who stood completely baf fled at the turn of things. "I know Miss Dunbar would have helped me to tide over temporarily." "Oh. gladly!" exclaimed Elizabeth. "Well, that's all right, too." retort ed the young man. "But what I want to know is this where do I stand?" "On your own feet, just as I intend to stand on mine." came back his an swer swiftly. "You told me vou would never allow a wife of yours to peddle pictures around magazine of fices "Neither would I." came back the decided answer. Even Elizabeth real ized it was a masterful tone, too. "Why should you? I have plenty for us both, more than plenty. You may paint and exhibit if you like. You don't have to peddle." "I prefer independence in matri mony. So long as I have a special gift "But you haven't. I appeal to this lady, your neighbor. Look at her pic tures!" he pointed around the studio. "Look at them. Seventeen thousand other girls all over the civilized world could paint just as well as she can. That may be exaggerated slightlv but it is partly true. She is not a gen ius. Is she?" Elizabeth felt delightfully inclined to laugh and agree with him. The paintings and sketches around the studio were lacking in everything that I rin. 10i success. Ana tne girl was so pretty and so fearfully sure of herself. "Can't you compromise?" she asked eagerly. "That is. if you care for him at all." "Oh, I care for him," retorted the girl scornfully. "That is why he knows he can come here and worry me. I'm engaged to be married to him. I can't escape him." i "Why not break the engagement." She looked at the young man thoughtfully. He stood with both hands in his pockets, hopeful, but ag gressive. "She's tried that." he answered briefly. "I won't let her. I am aoso lutely certain that she loves me and will be happy with me ultimately. But. meantime, I refuse to let her starve." "Then I'll tell you a way out. Marry her. Let her keep up her work here Don't interfere with her. Fix up some attractive home elsewhere if you like, or take a hotel suite. And gradually win her." Elizabeth paused, fairly glowing 1 over her plan. Romance had not come to her. She was rather plain and I too cl ver, but' it was delightful to help others. "I'll go upstairs and start making tea, and I want you both to I come up in fifteen minutes. Then you can let me know. But don't haggle and worry each other. Either settle it one way or the other. Compromise if you can. You know love is not love I when it seeks its own happiness, chil- j dren," she laughed at them, but her i tone was earnest. "Love gives, alwavs. j i itu soui ana strength in full measure. As soon as'it begins to take it fails." She went out softly, ran upstairs and started making tea. And in just fif teen minutes they came up, her neigh- oor ana me masterrui young man, and i both looked oddly contented. i "We're going to try it," he said. "I'm i going to let her paint pictures of me. I In fact. I've promised to live down I here for awhile, not here exactly, but in this quarter, you know. She likes to i call it the quarter.

QUAKER MEDITATION'S. fFrom the Philadelphia Record. J Some men are afraid of nothing, and others aren't even afraid of that. Most men like things that are tip top, unless it happens to be a bald spot. Even the people who are addicted to high living may prate of their lofty Ideals. AH flesh is as grass, but that shouldn't influence a woman to be a grass widow. The leap year girl should realize that four years is a long time to wait for another chance. You never can tell. Even the friend ship of some men depends upon how much you pay for it. The one time a fellow always feels like putting himself out to oblige a friend is when he is n jail. An optimist Is a person who is thor oughly imbued with the idea that the best things have never happened. He "Do you favor short engage ments or long ones?" She "Oh, short ones, by all means. A girl can get so many more of them in." "You are a nuisance!" thundered the magistrate. "I shall commit you." "Don't you know it's a misdemeanor to commit a nuisance insinuated the prisouer. "Turn about is fair play." quoted the Wise Guy. "Not always," objected the Simple Mug, who had been up against it. "There's the doctored rou lette wheel, for instance." 59 AREIND1GTED Involve High Foreign Diplo mats in Bomb Plot. Immigration Officials Charged V.ith Smuggling Chinese.

LOYAL LEGION MEETS Majority of Members Declared to Be In Favor of Preparedness. A majority of members of the Order of the Loyal Legion Commandery of Kansas favor preparedness, accord ing to a statement made this morning by Capt. J. T. Taylor, of Leavenworth, recorder of the Legion. Preparedness was about the only subject discussed by members of the Legion at a meet ing held last evening at Memorial hall, following a banquet at the Mills Tea room. j "When we say we favor prepared ness," said Captain Taylor, "it doesn't mean that we want a continental army I but we would place that matter en- tirely in the hands of military men j who" should know, if anyone does. the f size of the army and navy needed by I this country tor proper cierense. Continuing Captain Taylor declared that thousands of young men lost their lives in the Civil war simply because of their ignorance of the war game. The young men of the orders, sons of officers in the Union army, outnumber the officers for the first time and it is probable that from now on the young er generation will be in the majority, although there is a number of offi cer; in Kansas who have not made ap plication for membership. Major W. H. Mapes of Emporia, commander, left Topeka this morning, and Captain Taylor will leave this evening. About thirty members of the Legion attended the meeting last evening. THEY REFUSE TO EAT At periods in most childrens' live! they fail to relish their meals and refust to eat even the delicacies prepared tc tempt their appetites. They lack am bition, and growth seems impeded which causes anxiety and worry. To compel them to eat is a grave mistake, because nutrition is impaired. Healthful exercise in fresh air and sun shine is important, but equally import ant is a spoonful of Scott's Emulsion three times a day to feed the tissues and furnish food-energy to improve their blood, aid nutrition and sharpen their appetites. The highly concentrated merlicinal- food in Scott's Kmulsion supplies the very elements children need to build up their strength.

Vour choice I I I Announcement I desire to announce that I have severed my connection with the Mutual Life Insurance Company of New York, with which Company I have been associated as Superintendent during the past three and a half years, to accept the General Agency for Northern Kansas of the Equitable Life Insurance Co. of Iowa. The Equitable Life of Iowa began business in 1867, just after the close of the War, and is there fore the oldest active life insurance company West of the Mississippi. It is one of the strongest inthe country, and its remarkable record for low net cost is a by-word among informed life insurance men. I have established General Agency Headquarters at 325 New England Building, and will be glad to hear from you at any time that I can serve you. the general manager s r office was moved. No immediate action looking toward the movement of new offices to To peka is expected by officials of the road hi the city. In view of the fact that the system is now in the hands of a receiver and is facing serious f ina ncial problems, the transference of various depart ments or the crea tion of new tjnes are not acted upo. as rapidly as would be the case under normal conditions, officials of the rail way point out. HOW ROOMS WERE LOST Pliil Kustmun Kccalls a Bit, of Ancient History. Thil Eastman, publicity man. of fered an explanation today for the losing- of the "lost rooms" found this week at the auditorium. His expla nation indicates that while rooms might have been lost there was no money lost in the construction of the bis building. "As I remember it," he said, "there was a hue and a cry for the comple tion of the building as soon as possi ble. I don't remember just what the occasion was but L have a vague rec ollection it was the fear that the mon ey would run -out. The contractors were told to skin the work or do any thing else necessary but to get the building finished. They finished it. The fact that a suite of rooms was closed up and remained hidden for sixteen years is a mere incident." HE GETS THE MINIMUM V. S. Conaway of Salina Is liirolcd by ioernor Capper. After serving a year in the state penitentiary at Lansing. W. S. C'ona way of Sa lina was today paroled by Governor 'upper.

The defendant was popular in the town and was, a num ber of years, agent for the Santa Ke. i One day he adopted the policy of forg j ing bills of lading. Through system atic operations, it was alleged that he secured several thousand dollars. He was arrested and convicted on a charge of obtaining monody under false pretenses. Many Salina people urged clemency m the case.

Fenwell and Phil East man Favor Another Plan. Secretary Kelley Wants Audi torium in "Civic Center." Members of the board of directors of the Commercial club must decide by ballot whether an attempt will be made to vote $30,000 or maybe $40. 0M0 in bonds for a remodeled auditor ium or $200,000 or $250,000 for a new strut ture. A meeting of the board at tended bv eleven members was held at the Commercial club this noon and after much discussion a motion made by C. H. Merriam that the remodeling proposition be accepted was seconded. Nine members were present at the time and eiuht voted for the remodel ling proposition while George Godfrey i Moore was the only one to vote 1 against it. K. I.. Overton explained 'that although he voted for a remodel led proposition he rather thought the i new structure, would prove to be the j best. To Circulate Petitions. J. Will Kelley, secretary of the club, I was instructed to get a yes or no vote from every director and the result will j be announced in a short time. No i matter whieh proposition carries the 'next move will lie to take up the mat J ter with the commissioners, after j proper blue prints and specifications are prepared, get their opinion on the matter, set a date for an election and i then appoint committees to circulate special election petitions.

No matter what the decision may be W. W. Webb, president of the Com mercial club, believes other organi zations should be called in and asked to co-operate. He suggested that speakers be sent to the Santa Fe shops and other large establishments as well as to meetings of civic organizations, their opinions listed and their hearty co-operation requested and appreciat ed. It is a matter, he declared, for the entire city to vote on and for all its organizations to take a hand in push ing. J. Will Kelley again made a plea for a new auditorium stationed, if pos sible, on the state house square which ultimately will become Topeka's civ ic center. He pointed out that a 30 year $200,000 bond proposition would cost a $1,000 property owner only '20 cents a year or $6 all told. TABLE TALK AT THE COMMERCIAL CLUB- Scott Hopkins, of the Prudential Trust company, has a remedy for vic tims of the nicotine habit. Mr, Hop kins buys a cigar and cuts it into three parts. Whenever he feels that tingling of his nerves he takes one of the parts, lights it and takes the two or three puffs a cigar of that size permits and then throws it away. A big crowd is expected to attend the noon luncheon Friday when Gov ernor Klliott Major of Missouri will de liver an address. The Co-Ops didn't have their regu lar dinner Tuesday. Instead they plan to attend the home talent play, "Miss Nancy," in a body Saturday night. Bert Carpenter of the Carpenter 'a per company at Omaha was a guest at luncheon this noon. The Carpenters have the largest paper establishments in this section of the country. HE FINDS LAW FOR IT ieorge Haydcn Says City Can Vote Auditorium Uonds. J corse P. Hayden, city attorney, is still disin into the law hooks but he has reached the conclusion that the law is sufficiently broad in its scope to permit Topeka to vote bonds for an auditorium and to condemn land for an auditorium site. "I have been doubtful about it." aid Mr. Hayden today, "but after go ing pretty well into the matter I find that the law is pretty broad. "It j?ives a city authority to vote for building or repairing any 'public building- One question still to look up is what constitutes a public build inp. I don't know whether the audi torium would come under that head or not." When the present auditorium was provided for by voting bonds it was held to be necessary to include a building for the city offices in order to come under the "public building' j provision. 1 hat pa me question may I develop in the present agitation for a new auditorium. i "There doesn't seem to be any ques- tion about the condemnation of land." continued Mr. Hayden, "although I I hao some misgivings about that also. The law appears to grant authority to condemn land for almost any city j purpose." j H has become evident in the last four days that if the city increases Uhe size of the present auditorium or j builds a larger one on the present site i it is going to be necessary to condemn l the land. Some of the landowners j whose lots would be required have j served unofficial notice that they will i not sell. They have visited several city officials in their anxiety.

r I' IN ONE BIGGHORUS Fifteen Hundred Topek Sang in the Auditorium. "Community Sing" Proved To He Popular Jlove. ID IT DIDN'T COST A GENT! Dean Whitehouse of Washburn Gave Crowd a Lesson. Ouly Regret Was They Couldn't Sin? Enouerh. The first community sing in Topeka was held Tuesday night at the audi torium. About fifteen hundred people I were present, forming a company rep- reentative of all cluwes and sections of Topeka. The evening was given under the auspices of the music de- partment of the Topeka Federation of Women. The work of rousing interest, in civic music hap been flourishing ml other cities, and the idea appealed to the music department of the federa tion. The plan for putting it into prac- ti.-e in Tupeka belongs to Mrs. oer-j trude Tracv Wilron, who. wi'.h the help of some of the members of the music j department, of which she is chairman. w orked out the details, and presented i to the people of Topeka an excellent: Plan for an evening s enjoyment, en- tirely free of charge to the audience. In the earlv evening Marshall s band j. laved: some organ --lections were gven bv Miss Mildred HazelriRg: the. Washburn Ulce club ang some num ber?, and there were two duels ny Mrs. leorge Payne and Mrs. rrank P. Vhitmore. I Possibilities licrc. Some announcements were made from the rostrum after the special, program. and then Dean Horace, AVhttehouse. of Waphburn college, took th floor, and addressed Ihe audience, telling them of the musical possiblll- ties for Topeka. the talent of Its peo- pie and their latent capabilities. The nmlience was led in the singing by Ml. AVhitehouse. "Did Folks At Home vn- hi first choice, and the stanzas. i:nd the chorus were gone throuiTh -l number of times until the leader found the audience singing it somewhat to his satisfaction. The Glee club was j then asked to sing an Irish lullab.l The. refrain of the lullaby was taught to the audience by Mr. Whitehouse and the Glee club. J After that the singing passed on to I-ove's Old Sweet Song." which is i one of the most charming and best I liked of all the old favorite songs, j The audience sang it with zest and feeling, and it was good to hour. Th chorus was sung by the men alone and then by the women, after the old fash ioned method of conducting a sons B-Tvice in revival meetings. For the closing number the people j e:uo(1 up and sans "America." j Wauled to Sine. l'eople in general like to sing. Bur I the critics are so numerous and so se- vere that the unlettered in musical I mutters are afraid to venture on a j simpip tune unsusiained by other un-j irBined, voices. The idea of the com-I munity music is for every' one to sins) whfther he can or not. The psycho logical effects are cood. even if the m lotiic ones are not always. The people in the auditorium last night wanted to sing more than they had a i chance to. There were eight songs printed on the program, and every on? if them were favorites that the whole house would have liked to warble. Out of that number they sang but three. There are to be some more com- munity sings arranged, and even more I people than came lsst night are want- j ed. The plan offers the greatest amount of enjoyment to the greatest I number of people, at the minimum I cost (nothing at nil) of any scheme! ver tried abntg musical line-. i WILHWJK IT OVER lr.

DRAFT ARMY-NAVY BILL Col legia n s Plea d Prcia red ncss Is Morally Wrong and l"isots Ideals. "Washington. Feb. 9. The" house military committee began executive sessions today to draft the army bill, after hearing a delegation from the Society of Friends, headed by William S. Hull of Swarthmore college, which told the committee that war and pre paredness for war were morally wrong in their view, and urged that interna tional disagreements be settled by ju dicial means, the United States lead ing a world movement to that end. Mr. Hull said the society felt the army and navy increases under dis cussion would delay the day when an international peace court could bt realized. President Sharpless of Hav erford college counselled that congress move slowly in entering upon a mili tary policy which he thought at vari ance with America ideals. CAN DR. RQWLES DO IT? lie Wants to Make All stores Install Toilet Iacilities. Commissioner W. I. Porter is doubtful if the city board of health can force all stores to install toi et facilities, vas is proposed by Dr. L. W. Howies, city food and milk inspector. However, if it can be done Porter will not place any obstacles in the way. It is said that there are forty places in Topeka restaurants, stores, mar kets and drug stores, that are violating the state law by failure to install toilet and wash rooms for the use of their employees. Dr. L. W. Rowles plans to have every store inspected in that par ticular and then to take the matter up with the city board of health. The order to install the toilets and wash rooms would come directly from Dr. Rowles, although it would have to be issued by the board of health. The law referred to by him relates to places where food is served in anv form. That there will be opposition to the enforcement of the order has been in timated to city hall officials. The strict enforcement would call for con siderable expense on the part of each place affected. Card of Thank.

Twenty-two husky young collegians gathered around "The Hero" and with long and lusty cheers proclaimed him the best outsider who ever donned the moleskins the husky young athletes were the varsity and second teams of :he Cniversity of Pennsylvania foot ball squad and "The Hero" was Rich ard Luhler, leading man with the Lubin company, who plays the lead in "A Man's Making." a new five act feature motion picture. Director Jack Pratt needed a foot- bair team for the big scenes in the picture and the happy idea of using the Ponn Varsity team occurred to him so with the aid of Pratt's as- sistant Teefy it was done and Buhler j traveled over to Franklin Field and t got in line. Some surprise was in store for the "youngsters" for they had forgotten thi'.t not many years ago Buhler's name was more or less prominent in football records and the way in which he slammed through the IfnoT- for a twenty-five yard gain on-f the very first down, woke them all up u iiir l ci v iiit j lie ntru wna iiiuic than in name only. An excellent pic-f tore of Buhler dropping the ball over the goal posts from the forty yard lire was recorded and forms part of ;he exciting six or seven hundred feet which show Buhler. in the character j of the son in "A Man's Making," at college. This excellent picture with four acts of vaudeville is seen at the Novelty for two more shows tonight. J At the Iri?.

PRINK A GLASS OF REAL HOT WATER BEFORE BREAKFAST. 6ay we will both look and feel clean, sweet and fresh and avoid Illness. Sanitary science has of late made rapid strides with results that are of untold blessing to humanity. The lat est application of its untiring research itt the recommendation that it is as necessary to attend to internal sanita tion of the drainage system of the hu man body as it is to the drains of the house. Those of us who are accustomed to feH dull and heavy when we arise, splitting headache, stuffy from a cold, foul tongue nasty breath, acid stom ach, can, instead, feel as fresh as a daisy by opening the sluices of the sys tem each morning and flushing out the whole of the internal poisonous stagnant matter. .Every one, whether ailing, sick or well, should, each morning before breakfast, drink a glass of real hot water with a teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in it to wash from the stomach, liver and bowels the previous day's indigestible waste, sour bile and poisonous toxins; thus cleansing, sweetening and purifying the entire alimentary canal before putting more food into the stomach. The action of hot water and limestone phosphate on an empty stomach is wonderfully in vigorating. It cleans out all the sour fermentations, gases, waste and acid ity and gives one a splendid appetite for breakfast. While you are enjoying your breakfast the phosphated hot water is quietly extracting a large vol ume of water irom the blood and get ting ready for a thorough flushing of All the inside organs. Tne minions or people who are bothered with constipation, bilious Bpells, stomach trouble, rheumatic tiffness; others who have sallow sTuns, blood disorders and sickly com picxions are urged to get a quarter pound or limestone phosphate from the drug store. This will cost very little, but is sufficient to make any one ij. pronounced crank on the subject of internal sanitation. Advertisement.

Governor Capper today told members of the Kansas Livestock association that l:he state and federal government would co-operate In a fight to protect stock men against the oppression of pack ing house Interests. The governor's attack on the packing interests was based on the recent federal investiga tion launched by Congressman Dudley nnnlittle of the Fourth Kansas dis trict. He declared that every effort would be made by the state to protect the stock interests against market manipulations and illegal combina tions. Municipal packing plants and criminal prosecution of packers were urged. The governor's speech before the stockmen today was one of the sensa tions before the annual convention of Kansas stockmen. The governor's in dictment against the packing interests was based on market quotations of last fall when the price of hogs dropped $1.25 a hundred pounds in one day. It was to recover the pack ing interests' 15 million dollar loss on shipments to the allies. Governor Cap per intimated, that the tremendous slump was due. In the control of market conditions, Governor Capper declared that "the packers control all stockyards and their terminal facili ties, even some of the banks and loan companies." Governor Capper said: Market Problem Is Serious. "We are up against several prob lems in this country. One of them we have had with us for a long time: I know and you know that there is something wrong with our livestock markets. I know and you know that that something is doing more to hold back our progress toward better farm ing than probably any other one thing. "When in two days last fall, the price of hogs declined $1.25 a hun dred. It was plain some powerful in terest was unlawfully and wickedly manipulating the market. Except In times of panic, the law of supply and demand doesn't take a landslide jump like this. It works much more slowly and naturally, usually it gives warn ings of changes to come, long in ad vance. It was about time for 'the packers' fall raid." as It has come to be called, and the squeeze went on suddenly with a thump. Producers, after they got their bearings, held off for a while. They could see nothing to Justify a slump like that. They couldn't believe It would last. Prices dropped lower then lower. Little by little the market receipts gained momentum, as the farmers decided it was better to cash in for what they could get than to hold on In the face of the higher prices of corn and its actual scarcity in several of the corn states. Then, finally, the usual thing happened, there was a scramble to market hogs, the market records were broken by the rush. The producers were the losers. It was a great victorv for the packers. And maybe they needed the money Great Britain had held up 15 or 16 million dollars worth of their beef but need of money is not a li cense to go out In the road and take it away from all comers. "So far as I can see this is just what the packers did, and I am not lone some in that opinion. Packers In Control. "We know, virtually, that the nacTt- ers control all stockyards and their terminal facilities; even some of the banks and loan companies. We know that in various ways they discipline the producer who shows a little inde pendence, we know the packers have repeatedly been fined for overstepping the laws intended to regulate big business laws intended to keep big business from eating up little business "There is not the slightest doubt in my mind that the livestock markets are systematically controlled by fac tors other than supply and demand. When the profit in feeding steers is so painfully absent, as it has been in the last year; when we have raids on the hog market as we had last fall, it is as plain as the nose on a man's face that there are abnormal forces con trolling the price of farm products; that some powerful Interest is ille gally manipulating the market, and I believe that powerful interest to be the big packing houses. A Menaoe to Progress. "The fact which the farmers of Kansas must face is this: The mar kets of the United States are organ ized, no doubt with headquarters at Chicago. Of its kind this is one of the best organizations the United States has ever seen, the $1.25 drop was an excellent illustration of its team-work efficiency. But it is so grave and so serious a menace to the progress or tne west that something must be done. And I think some thing will be done, but the producers must not leave it solelv to the stiite and the government. They themselves have a remedy organization and co operation possibly the establishment of public abattoirs and cold storage plants will come where the producers can slaughter their own cattle and sheep and hogs and sell them on the block instead of the hoof. Kansas In the Fight. "I am glad to bring you the infor mation that the federal department of justice has just entered upon an in vestigation of livestock prices at the central markets. Only recently I re ceived a letter from the United States district attorney asking for the co operation of the state of Kansas. He will get it. I told him we would help him in every possible way to get at the bottom of this infamous combine of the packers. I have directed Mr. Mercer, the head of our state livestock department, one of the best men Kansas for this work, to give federal officials every possible help, and he will have all the backing and assistance from the governor that he needs. i nope lor ciennite. tangible re sults from this investigation. It has more steam behind it from the pro ducing end. I think we are going to get somewhere, and I want you to know that all the power of the state of Kansas and the strength of the governor will be used to help the work along. j Send Packers to Prison. "If the market is being controlled, as it obviously is, there are laws which will reach it. We are going to have a full and complete investigation. If the packers are in the wrong the time is coming when they will go to prison or mend their ways. "It is evident the livestock industry of Kansas can never grow to capacity until the marketing system is im proved. I think if the federal offi cials will enforce the laws we already have, the sale of livestock through ordinary channels will be much more steady and profitable to the producers. In addition to this, the effort must be made to provide competition in other ways. Why, for example, should there not be a considerable development in this country of co-operative packing plants? We are making rapid pro gress in Kansas in co-operative ef forts; the grain elevators, the Farmers Union, the Grange and many other forms of co-operative effort are show ing surprisingly successful growth. The people of the state are getting used to co-operation they are seeing that it is profitable and right, that it is doing a great deal to develop our greatest industry and that, as we all know, is farming. I believe we have learned to work together well enough in Kansas and the west so that we can take up other forms of co-operative effort, and especially co-operative packing plants. Advocates Municipal Plants. "If, after a careful study this is not considered feasible, pernaps municipal owned packing plants en abling the producers to market their stuff dressed instead of on the hoof, might afford the necessary competi tion to insure right prices. "This has been the way tnat tne ovement has gone forward in other nations, where the co-operatrve idea ha been developed rartner man m this country. In Denmark, which is leading the world in co-operative ef fort, 60, or about two-thirds of the packing plants of tne country, are owned in co-operation, mostly by farmers, and they have 95,000 share holders. This system eliminates six of the eleven profits that are made under our Dresent plan after the stock leaves the producer and before it reaches the consumer. inese profits are the shipper's profit, freight to market, terminal or switching charge, yardage, feed, commission, a packer's profit, a salesman's salary and expenses, freight to the retail market, drayage and a butchers pro fit. The meat from these plants in Denmark has set the standard in tne markets of Europe, and the producers are getting all that the product brings from tne corsumer, less me aciuai cost of manufacturing, selling ana transportation. "All that Kansas farmers are ask ing, as I understand it, is a square deal; that the market shall be con trolled by the old law of supply and demand. No men have a better right to a square deal and I am with them body and soul In that demand. It is the basis of all business life. If the market conditions can be placed on a satisfactory basis the livestock busi ness will make a big growth in the next five years. Nothing better could happen to Kansas. I want you to know you can count on me at every turn of the road in this or any other matter that will help you get what honestly belongs to you." LOSE FORT RILEY?

D. C, Feb. 9. Elimi nation of a large number of the army posts of the United States will be one of the questions which congress will face in connection with the matter of the national defense. In this matter Kansas is much interested since two forts are located within her borders Forts Leavenwortn ana n.ne. This subject has been raised at every session of congress In recent voors For a long time, the war de partment has seen that many army posts might better be abolished. But when congress has taken the matter up it has found that the "pork bar rel" proposition entered into the dis position of it; that the members and senators from the states having posts whose abolishment was sought have protested. The result has been that the country has gone on paying for military posts which have as little re lation to strategy as so many postof- flWhen the army bill comes up for consideration it will be urged that the expense of the military system could be much lessened if some of the army posts were abandoned. It Is well known that high army officers would be greatly pleased if the land forces in the United States were centered in a small number of large posts. But whether congress will abolish some of the more useful posts is not Known. This is a phase of the "pork barrel" system on which all previous efforts at correction have had no effect. A Chance to Grow. Should congress decide to eliminate many of the lesser posts and retain both Forts Leavenworth and Riley, these posts would then be made larg-oi- At nresent they are considered the two greatest inland posts of the country, particularly important on ac count of the service schools conducted at ettfYt Host. There has, however, been a long and determined effort to take one of these posts away from Kansas, re gardless of the fact that many mil lions of dollars have been expended in buildings and equipment since their establishment almost a half century ago. Kansans Will Fight. What is looked upon as being most serious for the future of Fort Riley at the present moment is the proposal of Congressman James Hay, chairman of the house committee on military affairs, to have the mounted service school removed from that post to Front Royal, Va., at which point is now located a school for the training of army horses. A detailed story of this effort was printed exclusively in the State Journal recently. As a matter of course, members of the Kansas delegation, both Demo crats and Republicans, will exert their best influences to see that both of the Kansas army post3 will be maintained and provided for in the army appro priation bill. It may be trutnruuy stated, however, that there was never a time before that the future of these prominent forts was in so much jeop ardy as they apparently seem to be at present. Secretary of War Garrison has not recommended that any of the existing army posts be abolished for the rea son that if his continental army plan goes through, the army posts can be utilized for purposes of training. But the indications are today that the con tinental army plan will be defeated. SALINA, Wednesday Seven o'clock is a dreaded time in the Bush home northeast of Shipton.
