Though the official statement yes terday afternoon reported about t of the 1.800 passengers aboard La Provence saved, the latest dispatches today accounted for only 690 survivors landed at Malta and Melos. It is lieved possible, however, that other survivors were picked up by Greek fishing craft in the vicinity and are iu-in;jr taken Into Greek ports.

Rotary International President Shows Opportunities. HE AROUSES OUR LOCAL PRIDE Points Out Where Capital City May Be Monumental. Best Talk Ever Given to Topeka Business Men. Poor Topeka with her inability to build school houses on suitable grounds, poor Topeka with her ignor ance of building codes to guard against the city's greatest sociologi cal asset, her small cottages surround ed by beautiful lawns. So Allen P. Albert, international Rotary president. student of civic affairs and speaker extraordinary, commiserated the cap ital city today noon in his stirring ad dress delivered at the Commercial club. Then to stir pride in Topeka's heart and make her ashamed of herself this extraordinary man pictured the beau tiful school architectural achievements found in Milwaukee, a city made fa mous by beer. Not that President Albert desired to criticise prohibition but merely to stir pride and not give to the world ar idea that prohibi tion and civic stinginess are synon ymous. Three Features. Three features of modern American cities were brought out prominently by Presiden Albert. First, the government of modern American cities is honest and general ly efficient. There are exceptions but these are known. Second, the modern American city is spending more money tha.. in any age on three projects, recreation, edu cation and introduction of beauty into the lives of the people. Third, these are products of a great spiritual awakening in the lives o fthe people themselves in every section of America. Christian Citizenship.

FRIENTGAVT TIP Mrs. Harrison's Girl Chum Told Police of Murder. Warren Slain on Auto Trip With 15-Year-Old Bride. Fort Worth, Texas, March 1. "I don't want to see an innocent man suffer." That was the first explanation of fered by pretty-lS-year-old Louise Guigon, chum of Mrs. Katherine Vance Harrison, for telling the police about the shooting of W. L. Warren on December 22. The girl bride's confession was not a voluntary one. She kept her secret j locked in her own breast until she was charged with having shot the man. iThen came the news that her closest friend had given the clue which en abled the police to solve a two months' old mystery. "There are other reasons why I told the secret," said Miss Guigon tonigut. She seemed in an unhappy frame of mind. Her manner suggested that she would like to tell the other reasons, but felt herself in honor withheld. "These reasons will sooner or later be brought out," she continued. "No one but the officers knows what, they are. That's all I'm going to say." Others Were In Party. One other fact, and that an import ant one, was gleaned from the in terview. It was that Charles Harrison, his fiancee, Katherine Vance and Warren, the murdered man, were not the sole occupants of the automobile, where she shot Warren. "It's nobody's business," she retort ed. "There are other good reasons, but I won't tell them." A fourth person who held the key to the mystery was Mrs. Sterling Richardson, wife of the pastor of the Weatherford Street Methodist church. The tragedy has had the conse quence of removing the obstacles to the complete happiness of Katherine J and Charles Hurrison. which had ex isted since their wedding. The bride's family is poor. Both che Vance and Harrisons opposed the marrtajce. Married on an Klonement. So, following their elopement to Dallas two days after the killing, Katherine obtained employment as a stenographer. Last night, however, shii was in the house of her father-in-law, freely accepted as a member of his famiiy. There is a Texas statute forbidding the trial of a minor for murder. If Mrs. Harrison were convicted, there fore, the reform school is the only nvai!altle place of detention. Bit the fact, that she is married ompticatts tn situation. The T( 3as laws bold homie'd-s ius tif iablo in self-defense or in protect ing one against a burglar. Public opinion here is that Mrs. Harrison was justified in killing the man who robbed her of her honor, the jame as would be a man who shot a burglar GOMES IN LIKE A LION March Is I'shered in With Rain. Sleet and Low Temperature. March came in dark and gloomy, with the ground coated with a film of ice and a temperature only a few de Krpos below freezing. Some real "lion like" weather is predicted for the sec ond day of the month. High winds, snow and colder weather is the indica tion. The wind is in the north and is expected to be blowing at a high rate tonight. The Kaw river continues its slow descent, the stage this morning being 7.8 feet Snow tonight and Thursday with colder weather tonight and fresh northerly winds tonight is the forecast. The wind will probably make 2 5 miles an hour. A temperature of be tween 3 5 and 20 degrees is expected at Topeka. The shippers' forecast warns against temperatures of 10 to 15 degrees for 36-hour shipments north and west; east and south, 20 de grees. The lowest temperature this morn ing was 2S degrees at 7 and 8 o'clock. Very little variation in the readings was expected today. The rain which fell this morning was not heavy enough to measure, but it covered everything with a thin coating of ice. The wind this morning was only blow ing at the rate of 5 milts an hour. On this date in 1901 the mercury reached 7 1 degrees, the highest on record. The low mark is 1 degree, established in 1890. Temperatures today averaged 4 de grees below normal.

NOT YET AGREED Assurances to U. S. on U-Boat Conduct Tot Sufficient. Controversy Involving Lusi- tania Again in Abeyance. ADMINISTRATION MARKS TIME "o Action Now Lest It Might Embarrass Congress. Germany Won't Promise to Stand Pat on Assertions. Washington. March 1. House leaders today drafted for consid eration of tiic house a measure, proposing that congress express its confidence in the president's handling of the armed merchant men controversy and recognize that it is not a matter of legisla tive but executive concern. Washington, March 1. Germany's latest assurances on the conduct of submarine warfare presented Monday by von Bernstorff to Secretary Lans ing are not so broad as the United States desires, but it is indicated no further steps will be taken by this government until the administration is certain its action will not embarrass congress. The assurances reiterated in the la test communication are regarded as j not so complete as those originally given as the result of the Lusitanla i negotiations and it was indicated to day that the pending Lusitania agree ment would not be finally accepted as satisfactory at this time. Officials were reported as feeling j that if the German government took I the position that it could modify or change the first assurances at will. I there was nothing to prevent an at tempt to change the latest assurances and they do not intend to agree with t such procedure. It was said that the next step would be taken as soon as the situation in congress was clarified. Officials ex pect the administration will tind it self in a position to continue the ne gotiations within the next tew days. Chairman Flood of the foreign af fairs committee sought to bring Dem ocrats in line on the measure to be re ported out of his committee and also sought ineffectually to get assurances of Republican co-operation. Wilson Against Resolution? -J The president positively did no ask for such a resolution." said Mr. Flood, speaking of the new proposal. "This form has Ween broached since I returned from the White House con ference." Pending the sounding of sentiment on the resolution the meeting of the foreign affairs committee was post poned from one o'clock to an indefi nite hour. Meantime leaders con ferred on the new proposal. It was argued by some that this would re lieve the house of going on record on the armed ship proposition. Predic tions that the president would not en dorse the proposed resolution were freely expressed. OLD RULE DOESN'T APPLY. Germany Proclaims Agreement Ante dates "Armed Liners." BY CARL W. ACKERMAN. Berlin, March 1. -"Germany's mem orandum declaring that armed mer chantmen in future will be considered as warships. does not change the pledges Ambassador Bernstorff gave the American government because, when they were given, no such thing as an armed merchant liner was thought of." declared Baron Mumm von Schwarzenstein of the foreign of fice to this correspondent today "When Germany made these WHICH?

MARKING TIME In a Day and a Half No Im portant Fact Is Developed In the Passenger Rate Hearing Before the P. U. C. THEY GALL IT A SUBTERFUGE Railroads Are Disgruntled Over Commission's Action Declare It Is Intended Merely to Cause Delay. After an entire day on the witness stand, C. S. Stebbins, assistant auditor for the Union Pacific, had this after noon answered not more than a half dozen questions bearing directly on the application' of the railroads' earn ings and expenses as applied to Kan sas. Stebbins, called as the first wit ness in the adjourned passenger rate case, was on the witness stand late this afternoon. From his testimony, it was apparent that Joseph L. Bris tow and the public utilities commis sion contemplated a review of the tes timony submitted at the rate case hearing in April, 1915. On the witness stand today Steb bins explained in detail the applica tion of a special formula to railroad conditions in this state. He produced a specially prepared statement show ing operating revenues and expenses from 1911 to 1915. The report was prepared at the request of the utilities commission Most of Stebbins first day's testimony, however, concerned general conditions of the Union Pa (Contiuiued on Page 2.)

"All Killed or Drowned," Indi cates Desperate Attack. RAID LAW BEGAN AT MIDNIGHT Censored Report Doesn't Tell Hon Many Victims. Thornaby Torpedoed, Probably in Mediterranean. London, March 1. The British steamship Thornaby is reported to have been sunk, all the members of the crew having been killed or drown ed. This ship is believed to be victim No. 1 of the drastic U-boat raid law inaugurated by Germany to go into effect last midnight. The Thornaby was owned in We9t Hartlepool, England. She was built in 1889 and was 25S feet long. The vessel sailed on January It from Sunderland. England, for Paler mo, Sicily. The ship undoubtedly was almost to its destination so the dis aster mus have taken place in the Mediterranean sea, although the cen sored report of the war office doe? not designate where it was sunk. Although the British censorship prevents transmission of details con cerning the reported sinking of the Thornaby, the reference that the members of the crew have been killed or drowned indicates sl.e was sunk by a mine or torpedo. The Germans and Austrian decrees regarding the sink ing of armed merchantmen without warning went into effect at midnight. The Thornaby is the first vessel whose sinking has oeen reported since the order became operative, but the London dispatch does not indicate whether she was armed or whether she was sunk before or after the open ing of the month.

San Guglielmo, America, Verona, Stam polia and Casterta. The Giuseppe Verdi and San j Guglielmo are now in port here. The others are in the Mediterranean or preparing to sail from Italian ports. I Liners now believed to be near the war zone are the Italia, of the Anchor line, America of the Italian line, th Fabre liner Patrla, the Finland and Pennsylvania of the American line, the loannina and Casiless Constantimofi at I the Greek line and the Cunarder Pom monia. The British liner Baltic is srhot- uled to leave Liverpool tomorrow but j it is thought her sailing may be ho Id up a day or two owing to her delay in leaving New York on her last trip. The Anchor liner Cameronia is sched uled to sail from Glasgow on Murch S. Several Scandinavian ships will b in the war zone within the next two days. The liner Nieu Amsterdam is scheduled to sail from New York to day. The Nooverdyk will follow her later in the week.

The expenses included in the budget Constitute only part of the total. War expense which is not included in the budget may exceed the ordinary ex penditure two or three times. The most important decrease in the estimated revenue occurred in that from alcoholic drinks which figured only 9,000,000 rubles as compared with 689.000.000 in 1914.

There is nothing of importance to report In the region north of Verdun or in the Woevre dis trict, according to the announcement by the French war office this after noon. There was an intermittent bombardment last night along the French front between Regnieville and Remenauville That the situation around Verdun is now well In hand and considered quite satisfactory from a French point of view is freely stated by military ex perts.

RECRUITING IRISH Redmond Conducts Strenuous Campaign in Emerald Isle. "Defend Old Sod You Love," Exhorts Home-Ruler. "GERMANY WOULD CRUSH US" Sons of Erin Have Been Antag onized About Fighting. Cities Have Responded, but Farmers Slow to Enlist. London, March 1. John Redmond, the veteran leader of the Irish Home Rulers, has been conducting a notable and strenuous campaign in Ireland for army recruits. He has held meet ings in scores of centers, directing his attention particularly to the agricul tural classes, and appealing to them to defend the "old sod' which they love. It is not easy yet to inlge rhe suc cess of his trip. In large measure fee hopes that he has sowed a aeon wbic-h will later bring forth fruit. Even Mr. Redmond is a little uncertain as to how much his campaign has done. "I often wonder," he remarked m reply to a question, "whether the Irish farmers realize what is at ake in this war. I have tried to show them that if it goes on indefinitely Ireland will be crushed by taxation and her farmers will have lost absolutely and completely the whole value of all -hat they have won in the past. If Ger many is victorious. I believe that the country will be beggared." Not an Kasy Job. "Is it easy to convince them 7" Mr. Redmond was asked. "No! it ia not," he replied. "I am afraid they have not been approached properly in the matter of recruiting. They have been unwisely attacked and i abused, and in some districts prevc cative speeches have been made." Turning to his belief in Ireland's vital interest in pushing the war, Mr. Redmond said; "Every day that has passed since the war began has convinced me more and more profoundly that the highest interest of Ireland from every point of view is the speedy and victorious end of this war. I feel it so strongly that if I stood alone I would etill raise my -co, even though it were in vain, and 1 would face any consequence, political or otherwise, which might ensue. And when this great contest Is over, when Ireland has faced the test submitted so suddenly, when success has crowned the arms of the Allies, then I am certain, Ireland will j have added a proud chapter to her history.' Address in Dublin. Mx. Redmond's method of dealing j with his audiences was well illustrated by his speech at the Dublin Mansion i House, perhaps the finest effort of I his tour. He said in part: "We come to speak to you about I recruiting. The towns have done mag nificently, and it is mainly with the agricultural districts that we now have to -deal. fMrst I want to say that the farmer who remains at home because he is necessary for working the land Is as much a patriot as the man who is unnecessary on the land and who goes to the front. "I deprecate anything in the nature j of indiscriminate attacks on the farm- ing classes. The great difference be j tween England and Ireland is that Ireland is mostly an agricultural coun j try, and England mainly an industrial I one. If you compare the action of the agricultural counties in England with that of those in Ireland, you will find it is pretty much the same. We have had no figures with reference to recruiting in agricultural districts in England, and I venture to say that if they were produced you would find that recruiting in purely agricultural England has been no whit better than in agricultural districts here. Farmers Should Enlist. "At the same time it is true of both j countries that there are many men who are not necessary for the cultiva tion of the land who have not fulfilled their duty in the matter of recruiting. and who ought to do so. Where a farmer has two or three sons and a comparatively small farm, where they are not necessary for its working, one s at least, if not more, should brave the I risks and do his duty. "Farmers in Ireland, above all oth- ers, have an especial interest in a speedy end to, and a speedy victory in, j the war. There is no class in any i country who have had so magnificent i a fight made for them by the whole j nation. In the past generation they were serfs, but they are now free men. Then they had not the smallest prop erty even in the improvements carried out by their own thrift and industry, i but today they are the owners of the i soil they till." MARKING TIME i Continued from Page One.) cific and concerned only in a general way conditions existing in this state. Would Cost 67 Millions. That an expense of 67 million dol lars would be necessary to reproduce the Union Pacific's Kansas holdings was made by the witness in explana tion of his analysis of Kansas con ditions. He testified that the property of the company in this state had been assessed at $41,090 a mile. Then for I an entire half day he quibbled and parleyed with utilities commission lawyers concerning the distribution of expenses and earnings. Ha refused to admit that 65 per cent of the gross earnings of a railroad might be prop erly distributed jo either freight or passenger traffic. "Can't 65 per cent of the operating expense of a railroad be applied di rectly to freiyht or passenger traf ficT' Fred S. Jackson, representing the state commission, asked the wit ness. "Not tive per cent of the expense of a railroad can be charged directly to one department or another," replied Stebbins with a display of feeling. "A portion of all freight expense is borne j in the distribution of passenger ex pense. The same is true in the ban dling of the freight expense." Figures offered by Robert W. Blair as counsel for the Union Pacific, were identiried by Stebbins and explained a in detail, following an entire day of general cross questioning. The report showed expense and earnings as cov ered by. the railroad's statements for j the fiscal years. Four ears Business. In the period from June 30, 1911 to June 30, 1915, Stebbins stated that the gross earnings of the road in Kansas were $25,675,699.92, of which $5,186, 241.66 was from intrastate passenger tares and $4,908,896.61 was from in terstate passenger business. In addi tion to the passenger business of $10, 095,138.27 in Kansas in the four year period, Stebbins reported freight rev enues ot $20.732.373.87 -both state and interstatefor the four year per iod. Intrastate passenger receipts in Kansas for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1915. were shown by Steb- I bins to have been $892,859.42. Inter-, ?tate receipts were given at $1,060,- 553.81. The figure, Stebbins testi- tied, were assigned to Kansas from j the annual reports of the road. Lat All Summer. That the passenger rate case will continue all spring and probably much of the summer was indicated in the opening statements of railway at- torneys and the early testimony be- j fore the public utilities commission. Several railroads told the state com- mission that a report on the special j questions by the commission could not i be given at this time and in some in- j stances a delay of several months may be necessary. The Union Pacific and Missouri Pa cific asked leave to introduce their evidence at once. But the returns from special investigation by the Rock j Island, Santa Fe and 'Frisco were not j ready. The M. K. T. railway has kept a force of men busy answering j special questions by the commission and through its attorneys stated that a report would be ready next week. The Rock Island will probably be able to report March 15, while the 'Frisco returns will not be ready until late in May. The Santa Fe, through its at torneys, stated that the special reports could not be given for several months. Cold resentment by the railroads was evident during the early stages of the hearing. The lawyers for the railroads affected by the rate case told the commission in rather polite and veiled terms that any one can ask questions, but that much time and ex pense are required to make answer. Railroads Are Peeved. Several of the railroads pleaded that every line of available information had been placed at the disposal of the commission. Demand for more data, they intimated, was a subterfuge to force delays and embarrassment and meant only the blocking of the hear ing. C. S.- Stebbins, assistant auditor for the Union Pacific, gave numerous statements concerning the operating expenses and revenues of the road. He stated that the railroad had paid divi dends of S and 10 per cent on its com mon stock. It had also added 62 mil lion dollars to its surplus in twelve years. Increases of from fifty to one hun dred per cent in operating expenses in the last twelve years were claimed by Stebbins. Then he produced figures to show the commission that his state ments were correct. The revenues of the railroad, he said, had failed to In crease in proportion to the increase in expenses and higher rates were needed to meet conditions. Following the taking of the testi mony of the Union Pacific and Mis souri Pacific, it is probale that an adjournment will be taken until early in April. Testimony in the case may not be completed before July or Au gust. The application for increased passenger rp.tes was filed in Novem ber, 1914.

GREAT MUSICIANS IX UKNT. Prof, lirowii Says Kautsans Need Only Training and Development. Manhattan. Kan.. March I. (Ireat musicians will be developed In the west as well as the east in the future, if the growth of music in western schools continues at its present rate. The west has men and women of abil ity who need only the opportunity for further development, in the opinion of 11. II. Brown, assistant professor of music in the Kansas State Agricul tural college. The growth of music in the Agri cultural college is a fair indication uf the progress that is being made, points out Professor Brown. In the early nineties, one instructor was employed; today there are eight. Of these three are teachers of voice, three of piano, one of stringed instruments and one of band. The music department now main taii.s an orchestra of 40 pieces, a chor al society of 300 voices, and glee clubs for both men and women. There were 1 6I t ryouts for the men's glee club, which indicates the interest students take in music. in th? production of grain during a like number of years. Trees are not so subject to injury from drouth or in sect attacks, and less labor is required to protect and harvest th crop. Demand for posts and poles throughout the agricultural region of the state has always been good, anu when produced in sufficient quantity they are readily marketed. The choice I Of species for such planting must be determined by the character of ground i that is to be planted.

The Osage orange and Russian muj berry are found less commonly. The returns from the Kansas com mercial woodlots are posts and poles. The species mentioned, being small sized trees, seldom reach sufficient size to make saw logs. The annual re turns per acre for the time required to grow posts and poles are declared by C. A.

MAKKIKD SEVENTY YEARS. Rare Anniversary Celebrated by Mr. and Mrs. Rock of Mankato. AIj nkato. Kan.. March 1 Golden wedding anniversaries are rare enough to bring forth more than passing com ment, but there is an aged couple in Mankato who have just celebrated their seventieth wedding anniversary. Mr. and Mrs. Josiah Rock of this place were married February 25, 1846, I seventy years ago. Uncle Josiah Rock I was born in 1823. James Monroe was then president of the United States I and was at that time inaugurating his famous doctrine. Mr. Rock was twen- ty-three years of age at the time of j his marriage and his bride was twenty. They have resided in Mankato for about thirty-six years. Friends and neighbors assisted them in their an niversary celebration. Uncle Josiah. though ninety-three years old. comes up town every morning to purchase the day's supplies. New York It is amusing to see how quickly Tosca and Cleopatra styles have broken out. House dresses, street attire and particularly evening gowns 1 all show the effect of the Bernhardt craze. Mme. de Barrios, the many times millionaire widow, wore a Cleo- patra costume at the recent fancy dress-ball at which there were no less than four Tosca costumes and one Cleopatra.

Atchison, Kan., March 1 For every foolish woman there is a fool ish man, is the charge made by Mrs. T. E. Chandler, who spoke at the First Methodist Episcopal church on the woman's place in the world. She took issue with some statements made by Dr. E. A. Ross of the University of Wisconsin and one of the leading so ciological authorities in the United States, who spoke to the Knife and Fork club in Atchison last month. But she also agreed with him. 'The women can't deny thct a great many of them are foolish," Mrs. Chandler, one of the thinking women of Kansas, declared. "The Lord made them so to catch the men." GIVES l"P FIGHT FOR BODY.

WHI N SHK'S FIRST MARRIED. When a girl is first married she almost always plays unconsciously the all-absorbing, the all-exacting tyrant. So says Kleanor Clapp in Farm and Home. She loses for a time her sense of values. Forgets that absence that is. a abort absence makes the heart grow fonder. She weaves a rose-ccl-ored but stifling web about her hus band, which makes him a mollycod dle, unless he escapes for awhile into a pure masculine atmosphere. She hates his perfectly natural craving for his kind. When he leaves her for a lodge meeting, or to talk politics at the club or down at the store, or for one of those mysterious business con clavea that seem imperative to even the most idle man, does she let him alone and send him about his business with a smile, the very remembrance of which will bring him back to her soon? Not she. She may take It pathetically, or she may scold or re proach him, or, worst of all, she may look sulky or injured, but she never takes it cheerfully or as if she didn't care very much. Perhaps if she did (so strange is human nature), he would come back a great deal sooner, because he found it so pleasant at home. ANOTHER LOCAL, ISSl'E.

It has sustained all the legisla tion for the control, regulation and special taxation of all sorts of corporations not only by the federal government but also by the individual states, as well. It has placed its rroval on the law to tax incomes. "The Property of the Sons of Privilege!" Bah! It is the prop erty of the masses and it is ever cham pioning their causes.

While in other days popes and princes built cnurcnes anu palaces which are still the wonder the world, today commerce and industry are doing work equally impressive, writes Joseph Pennell in Harper's Magazine for March. Our modern mills and docks and canals and bridges are even more wonderful. They are our triumphs of art. and yet hardly any one records their building. We far morP ama2in than the work of the past, and quite as well worth re cording. The mills and docks and canals and bridges of the present are more mighty, more pictorial and more practical than any similar works of the past; they are the true temples of the present. Our mills are as well worth painting as medieval churches; Minne apolis is as fine as' Albi. But it is in the northwest that the results of ne cessity and rivalry are most evident. At Sault Ste. Marie the government hiK built a series of locks which are a fine and pictorial as the locks at Panama, and when in the evening the huge bridge parts, and rises against the setting sun, and the great ore boats slowly steam by, there comes to pass a transfiguration that no painter could imagine the apotheosis of America. And who could conceive anything so arresting, anything so typ ical, as the "jaws," with their fierce teeth, of the Twelfth street bridge at Chicago? Go to Gary, or Indian Har bor, or any one of a hundred places in or around our western metropolis. and trie mystery, the might, the majes ty of the Wonder of Work will over whelm you if you can see it and if j you can see it. you can see America, j It ir subjects like these that make the i northwest so fine, so American; yet there are others just as fine, and ab solutely different, all over the coun- try. They are noble just as the tern- pies, the pyramids, the cathedrals are, for this art is the expression of our j time and our aims just as the temples and castles were of other times. No artists recorded the building of those j temples for their own sake, for they were always to be seen. So today only a few artists pay any heed to this Wonder of Work around us. A win der, too, which will soon be gone, for with the development of electricity the mystery will vanish, and with every new development in manufacture the picturesqueness of chimney, converter and crane will disappear, and in a few years there will be nothing but mean, low masses of trim masonry with no effect about them as worthy of com parison with the marvelous, myster- i ious masses of today as a clapboard j meeting house is with a cathedral.

Did you ever realize that there is such a thing as a family vocabulary in almost every family'.' The other day I was listening to one of the members of the family who I was talking over the telephone. By the way, when it is permissible, don't I you love to do that? It is so interest ing to reconstruct the other side of the conversation from what you hear and then find out afterwards if you were right. Quite like a game. To 'return to th- main road, I heard her I say, "Yes. I'd like to come I don't see any reason why I can't, and I will j unless and quick as a flash, before she could finish my mind supplied the 1 rest of the phrase, "unless something unforeseen turns up." And that was just what she said, j How did I know? Well, 1 asked myself that question and answered I because that is part of our family vo icabulaiy. Given these circumstances, that is what any member of our fam I ily would probably say. A day or two later, I had another instance of family exclusiveness in the i matter of vocabulary. Some member of the family used the word "rambunctious." "Where did you get that word? asked the visiting i lady. "I never heard it before. Did 1 you coin it for the occasion? It cer I tainly was pat." (It had been used to i to describe the actions of my small i nephew when pent up in the house on a rairy day. "Never heard the word, 'rambunc tious we exclaimed. "Why that's !a common word!" And so it does seem to us, because it was a favorite word of my mother's. Doubtless, there i are reader friends who will recognize it as a part of their family vocabulary, lust as there will be others like th-j visiting lady, who never heard it. Certain words, like that one, are pe culiarly part of- the family atmos phere. The sound of them will bring back one's childhood as poignantly as the most memory-freighted fra i granc. Two other words which I can i recall offhand are "spudge" in the f phrase, "Now let's spudge round and I get this don-i quickly," and "ridcout" in, "What have you children been do 1 ;ng? This room looks like rideout." The flow of family life grooves the j mind into certain ruts as the flow of rain-water grooves the hillside. The family menu is one groove too much of a groove in a good many families. And the family vocabulary is an- ther groove which also may become too deep. Of course it is fine to have as a family possession words with a flavor like those I have quoted, but one can get into too much of a rut in the use of common words. We ought not to be able to tell what j another is going to say. because we i ought to employ different words for the same sense from time to time, i and keep ourseh es from saying things i in a routine way.

The Evening Story When Davie1. Wore a Rose. (By Keith Kenyon.l Elizabeth Filiss, standing in the win dow of her own front parlor, dis creetly peeped through the parting of the long old-fashioned lace cur tains. She turned to Nellie, the scrub woman, on her hands and knees at her task of weekly cleaning. "I am sure I should like to know," said Elizabeth, "why David Hinckle has suddenly grown so chipper, ac tually wearing a rose in his button hole!" 'You know what I'd say," re sponded Nellie. "I'd say that. Mr. Hinckle was thinking of getting mar ried. That's what it would reneially mean." "Stuff and nonsense, snapped Elizabeth. "Who ever heard of a con firmed old bachelor marrying a nd who on earth would have him any way? Good looking enough, perhaps, but of course he has barely enough to take care of himself and he hasn't done a stroke of law practice for three years at least. All he cares for Ere his pipe and his books, hunting :n season and his garden the vest of the time. A likely suitor he'd make. I'm sure. Very strange, though, for him to be wearing that rose Times are hard enough, dear knows, so there is no reason for his feeling very ray. As a matter of fact, there v- as no reason why David Hinckle h-hewld be classed as old bachelor any more Hum that Elizabeth should be put in the "old maid" category. Still, in the eyes of The small community, their title to the distinction was clear. Elizabeth was thirty-two, and of the type of tall brunette that, like the flowers of late summer, reveals ts true loveliness only after springtime has jassed. And Elizabeth would have been very lovely, indeed, in spite of her severe dress and blunt man ners, had there been any one in the small town to appreciate her worth. "Do you know, Nellie," she su.1 J later in the day, addressing her only confidant for Elizabeth lived alone in her ramshackle old home as David Hinckle lived in his "do you know, I can't get over that rose that David was wearing this morning, I saw him come back with it on at noon. I think he had been down to the court house. And the worst of it is he knows I saw it, for I happened to oe on the veranda at the time. Nellie, suppose you get on your things ami go down to the florist s and get me a bunch of violets. I would just like to show that neighbor of mine that I am just as lighthearted as he is though J am sure we haven't either of us much to laugh about, dividends getting smaller and smaller." "Great Scot. Michael, but our neigh bor is starting out with a big bunch of violets." David Hinckle was put tering around in his garden Eliza beth had taken good pains to time her exit accordingly when she went forth late in the afternoon to mak: a call on the minister's wife. lie spoke to old Michael, his gardener and man of all work. Michael grinned, leaned on tire spade with which he had been digging and began to laugh. "You know what I'd say, r.a'd Michael. "I'd say Miss Elizabeth had a beau, and you needn't look so sur prised, either, Mr. David, for haven't I often been teilin' you she is a fine lookin' girl for all she's a bit 3tiffish and reserved like." "She may be good looking enough. Fact is, I've always thought she was, agreed the lawyer-gardener. "But goodness knows how any man could ever put up with her disposition." Michael grinned again. "I'm not blamin her meself," he said, digging vigorously. "You never step a foot inside her door and you were brought up almost like brother and sister." The next morning David started out earlier than usual. "Don't be surprised. Michael," he said, "if I come back with a new hat. This one is getting pretty shabby.'' When Nellie's next cleaning day Came around she chanced to meet old Mike at the back fence. "For good ness gracious sake, what's got into them?" she asked. "First I saw your Mr. David with a new hat on and then one day I saw my Miss Elizabeth with her new hat the milliner told me it cost fifteen dollars and then the next day Mr. David was sporting a new overcoat and now Miss ".Eliza beth is off this morning having her self all done up at the hairdresser's, and I took a peek in her wardrobe and goodness laws, but she's got a new Sunday dress and she told me before she went to come an extra day this week and help 'do up' the parlor curtains and things. She's got the piano open, which it hasn't been for years.' "I'm not sayin' much," Michael ob- served, "but Mr. David's none too pleased with the way she's been takin' on, being used to havin her go along just the same every day. I heard him say it was kind o' lunny that her investments gave so much better dividends than his." "Then why, man, is he spending so much? Don't I see with my own eyes that he has got a new buggy top and there is a load of sod in the front yard that you are just starting to lay? I guess things like that costs money, don't they?" It was two weeks later that Miss Elizabeth made the announcement to Nellie that almost caused that good woman to upset the pail of hot soap suds she was carrying. "Nollje," she began, "I'm not con tent. I've decided I've got to do something, to be something, and vou are the only soul in this whole place that I can talk to about it. I've de cided to study something to fit myself for something art, music or journal ism or osteopathy. I am sure I don't know just what it will b?. You know, I guess, that my dividends haven't been paying very well. So I've decided to get my life insured and manage to borrow on that enough money to study to do something to earn my own living and then I'll pay it back. I'm going to go down town this afternoon Lo the insurance office to see about the pol icy. One thing I've got to do," Eliza beth went on, "I am not especially keen about. "5 ou know in order to be able'to borrow on a life insurance ycu have to get some one to vouch for you. and I don't know of any one lo ask j but Mr. David When Elizabeth walked down the j central street of the small town that I afternoon more than one passer-ljy turned to look. "I never would have known her," said one. "Why, she is one of the best looking women I've ever soon now. Funny what a difference clothes make." About this time David Hinckie started out, and something he said to Mike almost caused that worthy 'n dividual to snip his own fingers with the pruning scissors. "I am going to attend to some im portant business. I've decided I've been a fool not to keep up mv law practice. There is plenty of work here to be done and if I just get n y hand in again I will be in lino for county office. Heaven knows why 1 refused all the chances 1 have had. I've decided to take an office in town and start in as I ought to. Hut in order to pay the expenses of the ven ture for a few months and to pay for repairs on this house, I've decided to mortgage the property." It was that night that Elizabeth called on David and for the first time in four years shook hands with her neighbor. She explained the object of her errand. "I would sell my house and raise the money that way," she said, "only I have a fondness for the old place. Not the houes itself, but for the little town where I have always lived. "Still it is hard for you to keep up a house all alone," he told her. "No more foolish than for you," she said. "And by the way. Miss Elizabeth. 1 heard when I was down town today that you were going to be married." "And 1 heard the same thing about you. I hear that you were mortgag ing your house ir. order to start in practice again." "Yes, I am, but I swear I am not going to be married." "I swear the same." "But why shouldn't we?" David was wondering ss he looked at his neigh bor why he had never seen the beauty of her face before. "But whom Elizabeth laughed. "No one ever marries here." "We could marry each other, couldn't we? And if we did then you wouldn't have to borrow money to learn something, would you?" "Yes, we could do that," Elizabeth reflected, "and then you wouldn't have to mortgage your house, for I could sell mine. It is foolish for one person to live alone in a big house." "Then it is settled." David said with the air of a judge pronouncing sen tence, "and tomorrow we shall go down and cancel the insurance and the mortgage." "And perhaps some time you will tell me," said Elizabeth, "why you happened to wear a rose in your but tonhole one morning about a month ago. Nellie thought perhaps you were going to be married." "Bless your heart, did you see th-t?" laughed David. "Mike put it there, the wretch. And I never knew till I came back at lunch time that I had been wearing it. What a fool I must have looked."

NORTH WIN For several days after Mr. North Wind talked to Mrs. East Wind about seeing fairies. he felt very oidly about his failure to nnd any when he hunted in the forest. You know yourself how disappointed you feel when you find out pretty surely that you cannot have something you wan. Cut after a while he began to think that he was very silly to mope about something that could not be helped. "Here I tm pining along." he aaid to himself, "during the very time of year when I shi uld be having the l.iost fun! And all because 1 cannot change my nature and blow softly! 1 would have thought that a North Wind would have more sense." And he gave himself a hard shake and began to plan a campaign of storms. Fur two weeks he stormed and Uew as he never had before. He frolicked through the tree tops; he twisted the great branches, and he tossed gay little snowstorms hither and thither in a most reckless fashion. Oh, he had a very good time with nimse.lt that Mr. North Win 1 person had! And he was so ive!y and busy all the day long that he quite forgot t feel badly about the fairies he could not see. But when the two weeks of storm tnded he had to admit that he was pretty tired.

Washington. March 1. "The presi dent has launched his submarine at tack without warning and without op portunity for life saving." said an In diana representative Tuesday night. "If that vote which he demands is taken, it means the political death of many a good Democrat which ever way he may vote." official Washington gasped when the White House made public a letter from the president to Representative Edward Pou. North Carolina, acting chairman of the house rules commit tee, asking an "early vote on pro posals to warn Americans off bel ligerent merchant ships." Democratic leaders of the house who have fought for a week at the president's behest to prevent a vote on the resolutions threw up their hands in dismay. They had no warning of a change in the president's attitude and were not con sulted before the first letter was writ ten. Not since the days immediately pre ceding the Spanish war have con gressional circles been so excited as now. In the lobby of Congress Hall hotel, on Capitol Hill, the home of seventy congressmen and the ren dezvous of as many more, the crowd had the appearance of a political con vention Tuesday night. Speaker Clark was there, his tall form dominating the throng, silent, noncommittal but with approving gestures manifesting sympathy with the many speakers who criticized the president for reviving an issue they thought had been lulled to sleep.

But few believe that the vote would show, as Mr. Wilson demands, that the report "that there are divided counsels in congress in regard to the foreign policy of the country is false." Indeed, many hold that the position of the administration, if upheld at all, must be supported by Republican votes. It is the universal opinion that in viting this test the president has risk ed disaster to himself and assured it to many of the representatives. Since the controversy opened last week members have been deluged with telegrams of two kinds, one ad juring them to stand by the president, the other beseeching them in the name of peace to utter the warning that would, by keeping Americans off armed belligerent merchantmen, les sen the danger of war. Inquiry among several scores of congressmen elicits the fact that the latter type of tele gram outnumbers the former by about five to one indicating that the coun try thinks more of peace than it does of standing by Mr. Wilson. Congress will -act on the president's request concerning a warning resolu tion "at once," Senator Stone said to day, following a conference with the president. He added, however, that actual action would not be possible today. A WILSON INVITE X. Y. State Democrat Conven tion Issues It Today. 'Keynote" and Platform Trge President's Re-Election. Syracuse, March 1. Party leaders planned today's informal Democratic state convention to be considered an invitation to the country at large to support President Wilson for re-election. With that end in view, both key note speech and platform indorsed the president and his administrative poli cies and called for the selection of four delegates-at-large to the Democratic national convention at St. Louis to be chosen with the understanding that they will do their utmost to bring about his renomination. Delegates-at-large tentatively agreed to are: James A. O'Oorman, U. S. senator; William Church Os born, chairman of the Democratic state committee, George J. Meyer of Buffalo, a German -American Wilson sunnorter and Samuel TTntermver. a Xewr York attorney. The tentative draft of the platform, which dealt solely with national is- sues, besides heartily indorsing the Wilson administration, declared for -peace with honor," and advocated preparedness.

Many Millions in "ew Con tracts for Merchantmen. SUBMARINE WARFARE FACTOR Tremendous Number of Vessels Have Gone to Bottom. Foreign Yards Exclusively En gaged Building Warships. Chicago, March 1. The shipbuild ing industry on the Great lakes, after lying dormant more or less for half a decade, is enjoying a revival of pros perity, according to reports from ship yards at and near Cleveland, O., De troit, Mich., Toledo, O., Duluth, Mich., Buffalo, N. Y., Chicago and smaller Great lake ports. The opening of the Panama canal, the activities of submarines and the healthy increase in exports are con sidered the immediate causes of the shipbuilding boom. The claim is made, without denial from the build ers, that old ships and vessels now under construction are bringing bet ter prices than ir. many years. This boom will bring millions of dollars of business to the dozen or so of shipbuilding companies, has cre ated new work for hundreds of men and already has caused the rebuilding of old yards and the planning of sev eral new ones. Can't Handle All Orders. Tho demand is strong for both lake and ocean vessels and only the in ability of the builders to give assur ance of delivery of the ship by 1917 stands in the way of even heavier or ders. Foreign interests are prominent among the buyers. With ihe first clash of arms in Eu rope, shippers saw the necessity for obtaining boats quickly to carry mer chandise to foreign and domestic ports. One New York capitalist ob tained at least four huge Great lake package freighters. At the Welland canal these ships had to be cut into sections before they could continue the trip to the coast. The tremendous amount of shipping that has gone to the bottom in the war zone together with the fact that many of the shipyards in England have been turned over almost exclu sively to ships of war, has forced foreign buyers to look to American shipbuilders for new vessels and some foreign buyers are ready to pick up any ship for sale on the seaboard. Cleveland Has $8,000,000' Contracts. Cleveland alone reports the closing of contracts for 4 6 vessels at an ag gregate cost of more than $8,000,000 and that negotiations are in progress for 30 more ships. These orders are being filled at Cleveland, Toledo, Lorain and Ashtabula, O., Ecorse and Manitowoc, Mich., and Buffalo, N. Y. The yards at these cities are said to have all the business now that they can handle during the year. The Toledo Shipbuilding company is working on an eastern order fop five schooners with auxiliary p-ower plants to be used in coastwise trade. A lake freighter 600 feet long also is being set up at Toledo. The total tonnage of the Toledo contracts is said to be 30,000. Detroit reports the receipt of orders for a score of i hips by Michigan com panies and Ohio firms not mentioned in the Cleveland reports. The ton nage of the vessels that will be under construction in Michigan harbors dur ing 1916 is estimated at 106,100. First Building Since 1910. Duluth says the first ship to be built at the Superior, Mich., yards since 1910 will be constructed this year "provided the steel can be se cured." The scarcity of steel also is mentioned from Detroit. The inability to purchase greater quantities of building material, Detroit says, has prevented several companies from en larging their plants. At Chicago, theCalumet dockswhich have been occupied with repair work during the last eight years, have .iust received an order for the construction of a freight steamer, 250 feet long and 43.6 foot beam. This boat, which is to be launched the latter part of April, was ordered through New York agents for a concern in Norway, the name of which is not known at the Calumet docks.

BUSY MONTH FOR COPS The Police Made 253 Arrests hi February. Police arrests for the month of Feb ruary made a big jump over the num ber in January despite the fact that February is the shorter month. Ar rests for February totaled 2 53. The number for January was 123. The "pulling of the Titanic" the raid on a negro dance hall between Fifth street and Sixth avenue on Jack son wherein 52 negroes were arrested for doing the "dog walk" is one of the reasons the number of February arrests :s so large. The raid was made about the middle of the month. Total fines collected by the police court in February amounted to $253 and in January the fines amounted to $226.45. Today the police made their month ly shift. Sergeant Walker is in charge of the day patrolmen while Sergeant Sauls heads the night shift. The first arrest to be made this morning and booked in the March sec tion of ihe docket was that of Willis Witchey, a white man, on a warrant charging physical assault on J. Clif ford Lortie. Officer Wyatt made the arrest. It is alleged that during the course of an argument Witchey "landed on Lortie's kisser." WILSON'S NEW BOOK 'Motivation of School Work" to Be Issued Soon. Motivation of School Work" is the title of a new book soon to be publish ed by H. B. Wilson, superintendent of city schools, and his brother. Guy Wil son, of Iowa State college. The book is devoted principally to the problem of gaining the interest of the child in his school work. The preface states: "The biggest educational problem to the teacher is not acquiring necessary information or the controlling of her classes but it is the planning and con ducting work so that it appeals to and interests the pupils. The purpose of the book is to furnish concrete help to the teacher for this fundamental problem." The book is to be on sale in April and is published by the Houghton. Mifflin Company. The book is the product of eight years of preparation on the part of himself and his brother, according to Mr. Wilson. OFFICE PAYS PROFIT Charles W. Bowers Turns $723.07 to the County.

All Were Calm Except Lascars and Children. LIFEBOATS PROVED USELESS in Icy Water for an Hour Be fore Rescued. Maloja Went Down Quickly After Hitting Mine. London, March 1. The German submarines have been sowing mines off Dover, was the belief expressed to day by Ralph Foster of Kansas, and other survivors of the Maloja disas ter, including some of the officers of the ship. In the opinion of Mr. Foster, life boats virtually are useless where ves sels strike mines, as the ships almost invariably sink Quickly and because the crews are insufficiently drilled for quick action, and boats cannot be low ered when a ship goes over on her side as the Maloja did. Mr. Foster had a thrilling experience. He was afloat in the icy water and on upturned boats for an hour before he was rescued by a trawler. "I was promenading the deck well forward about 10:20 o'clock Sunday morning," said Mr. Foster today to the Associated Press representative, "when I heard a slight report. 1 though it was a gun firing a blank shot until I saw debris falling. Even then the concussion had been so slight that I concluded an accident must have hap pened to some other ship nearby. "I rushed back immediately toward the stern of the ',,iloja, but before I had taken a dozen steps the ship b? gan to list, and I started toward the lifeboat which should be allotted to my cabin. It was so full of people, most of them Lascars, that I saw it was likely to be swamped, so I went below for a lifebelt. I put on my overcoat and the lifebelt and also took my passport. Iioat Listed Quickly. "By this time hardly three minutes after the explosion the passageways 4elow were awash. I returned ;o the lifeboat and tried to help shove it clear. Two of the white crew ot the steamer were standing by to lower the boat, but only a steward and rnyselr were making any efforts to push :t off from the ship's side. We could not get the boat clear of the railing on account of the heavy list of ihe Maloja. "Everybody then piled out of tne. lifeboat. Most of them slid across the deck and into the water on the other side. The deck was inclined to such n degree that we couldn't stand. I grabbed at an oar and Llip down the deck into the water. The wav; were so strong that I found I could not Fwim and was washed back against the side of the ship. Many Dead Bodies. "Finally I managed to reach a cap sized boat a few feet away and crawled on to it. From there I could see in the water near me several bodies of persons who were bleeding about the head. One Lascar was being ground between a lifeboat and the ship s side A big swell washed me off my inse cure perch. I knew what would hap pen to me if I remained on the side of the ship I was on, so I managed to get to the other side and clung to the rail ing until only the davits were project ing out of the water. I then pushed away from the steamer and swam a few yards to a boat that' had five or six Lascars in it. When I looked around the last davits of the Maloja had disappeared. Victims Were Calm. "We had no oars and the waves kept breaking over the boat. When it be gan to sink we swam to another cap sized boat and clung there until a boat from the destroyer took us off. "The only terror or excitement shown aboard the Maloja while they were trying to lower the boats was on the part of Lascars and some chil dren who had become separated from their mothers. One child, who was on deck near the point of the explosion, was blown to pieces, an officer told me. "One thing which made an Impres sion on my mind while I was clinging to a capsized boat, was a 'Teddy Bear,' which was floating about. The cox swain of the boat which picked us up. rescued the toy, saying, 'I must have that for my kid." Mr. Foster said he was deeply im pressed by thebravery of the women and the white crew of the Maloja, out not by her Lascar crew. Ralph Foster is the son of the Rev. Festus Foster, of 1340 College avenue, Topeka. He was on the way from Al dersbot to Egypt, where he had been assigned to work for the Y. M. C. A. Shortly after being rescued he cabled to his parents that h was sa.fe. WOULD NOT BET A CENT But Woman Was Sure Her Electric Ught Bill Was Wrong. It takes a man of sporting instincts to challenge the reading of his electric meter. He must be willing to bet a dollar on hh; own judgment. A West side woman called up Clyde Tresner, trouble man at the city build ing, this morning and asked how she could get a correct reading of her electric meter. "I know it has not been read cor--fcctly," she said. "The electric people told me If I put in some new kind cf light bulbs my bill wouldn't be s high. My bill was running around four !oilars end now it is $11. 1 know they didn't read the meter right and I want to kn )w whom to have read it.' "The city electrician will do that." replied Tresner. "However, it will cost vou a dollar to have the test made. I You put up a dollar deposit and if you are right you get your dollar back but if the meter reader is ngnt you ios3 it." "Well. I should say not," aid the indignant woman. "What do we pay taxes for in this town, anyway, ;f vce have to pay extra for a little thing like that? I'm not gong to bet a cent." Strikers May Accept.

TOPEKA SHOULD DEVELOP ASSETS (Continued from Pagp One) ship, the torch of which America has an opportunity to hoh forth and light the way of the world. And with this torch placed in the hands of Topeka and America, God, the speaker de clared, had given to Americans an opportunity outrivalling that given the people of Israel bat-K centuries ago AmpripMim tod iv are custodians of the greatest partnership government. Never, the speaker warned, should the Commercial club's activities sep arate itself from spiritual lines and permit the jealousies of the Hebrews, the Catholics and Protestants to in terfere with teachings of spiritual ideals in the schools and in the public. To the Commercial club and like or ganizations is given the opportunity of America to teach to the world the Christian citizenship which shall light the way for generations of nations yet to come. It is the human factor that builds the city, the speaker declared, in speaking of a city's progress. The good citizenship of its population, meaning co-operation and energy, builds and puts cities to the forefront. Today, he described Topeka. Wichita and Lincoln as three cities with prac ticially the same conditions to face and the same people to please, all three about on a par at this time. Ten years from now, the city with the human factor uppermost will blaze distinctly above the others. Today, he affirmed, is the time to develop this human factor and put It to good and untiring use. Creates Enthusiasm. And this human factor, his remarks indicated, can only become pliable with all organizations working lowird the Commercial club as a center. The Rotary elub. the Co-Oprative club or any other club is a dismal failure, he declared, unless at every meeting each member became a better Commercial club man. Seldom has a speaker come into tha city anu created more enthusiasm than did Allen. D. Albert today at noon. Not an orator in the sensational sense of the word, but a man with a person ality which radiates good fellowship and with a command of simple and appealing words. Mr. Albert and his wife have studied the growth of cities for years and have decided upon certain factors which nave tended to destroy and certain factors which have tended to upbuild cities. These studies have called forth that renowned lecture, "Forces Which POPULAR ..vW.Wvw iv. tne just inree .lays oi me week. I ais j ne nur smgrrs were nere last week the theater.

"Two out every three of you before i me will be working for the other third within a few years. There is only one way of escape. And that is to begin now the eager, zestful acquisition of usefulness for its own sake." Preceding his talk a musical pro gram was given by the high school glee club, the Colored Jubilee singers and the Girls Glee clubs.

SUES ON TWO NOTES Arkansas Woman Brings Action Against President of Manhattan Inter- Suit for $1 0,000 with interest was filed in the federal court today against W. R. West, president of the Man hattan City and Interurban Railway company, by A. B. Beem, a woman who lives at Sulphur Springs. Ark. The suit is based upon a promissory note alleged to have been given the Beem woman by West December 31, 1908, in exchange for $10,000, and upon a promissory note for $300 al leged to have been given by West March I, 1913. Both notes were to bear eight per cent interest. The $10,000 note was for one year and the piautuiL states mat it was renewed three times but that it is now due and unpaid. West, as president of the Manhat tan company, already has a case in the federal courts.

Co- operative club or any other club he should pick the Commercial club first, last and all the time. And you can rest assured that W. W. Webb men tioned President Albert's belief when proposition is being considered W. W. Webb urged everyone to take his wife and sweetheart to the high school auditorium meeting tonight. Several shouted that it would be im possible to take both. Phil Billard and Robert Billard listened to the Albert address. Robert Billard's arm was out of bandage and it shows that it is crooked and prob ably always will be that way. Phil is talking flying machine these days and showed a letter head advertising his summer's flying tour. Those Billard boys get the best of inquisitive news paper reporters. Whenever there is anything they wish to talk about con fidentially they begin speaking in French. J. Will Kelley, secretary of the Commercial club, and H. S. Putney, president of the Topeka Automobile association, went to Manhattan to a good roads meeting today. There'll be a dinner at the Commer cial club tomorrow evening when the wholesalers and jobbers will meet at 6:30 o'clock. PASS FILIPINO BILL Islands9 Freedom Favored by House Committee.

Lord Kitchener Makes Appeal for Stronger Effort. London, March 1. A great meet ing was held in the guild hall here today to inaugurate a national savings campaign. The lord mayor presided and the speakers included Earl Kitchener, sec retary of state for war; A. K. Balfour, first lord of the admiralty; Reginald McKenna, chancellor of the exche quer, and A. Bonar Law, secretary of the colonies. Premier Asquith was to have addressed the meeting and to have moved the principal resolution but he was suffering from the loss of his voice and was unable to attend. Lord Kitchener in his speech said: "We want just as many men as we can get as soldiers. We are bound to take all the men that can possibly be spared from Industry, agriculture and commerce. "We cannot produce ;i:t our ordi nary oeace time requirements. Either the population must go short of many tilings or the army must go short of munitions and other indispensable things. Are civilians prepared to let then- brothers in the trenches endure hard ships while they are not ready to make small sacrifices of harder work, in creased effort and economy? Lnrd Kitchener appealed for econ omy in everything, particularly in coal, food stuffs. Intoxicating liquors. petrol and oils; tea. coffee and tobacco and clothing of all kinds, especially woolen articles. Both economy and productive energy were required of all workers, as both, he said, were equal importance.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL WEDNESDAY EVENING, MARCH 1, 1916 WAIT ON FREIGHT Kansas Railway Case Has Been Postponed. Utilities Board Refuses to Con solidate Matters. COSTS $1,500,000 A YEAR Delay Means Saving to Ship pers of This State. Original Intention to Settle! With "Passenger." Kana railroads must wait for a hearing on their freight rate appli cation. That w.is the decision ol the public utilities commission todav wh B the state board refused to consolida; 8 the freignt rate case with the ;assen ger rute controversy or to permit the application to be tried in connection with a number of local freight rale applications. H is probable that under the de cision of Joseph L.. IJristow and the utilities commission the railroads will face the same situation in the i'reight rate case as has been encountered in the passenger rate controversy. in the pafsenger rate case, the contro versy has dragged nearly eighteen months and there seems little chance for a decision before next fall. Maybe the freight rate case will be pigeon holed until the passenger rate case is out of the way. In a conference during the noon recess today attorneys for the rail roads addressed some rather short and cutting remarks to Commissioner Bl s tow when h( declined to hear the freight rate case at this time cr to enter the matter generally until vari ous local cases are out of the way. In bowing to the order of the commission, the lawyers also indicated clearly that th'v wanted a hearing and -vnnted it quite soon. I.oml Cases First. AVit'n the freight rate case held In the balance by the state commission, a number of local freight rate appli cations are on the calendar and will be considered at an early date. In the big case involving $1,500,000 a year no unauc haste will be shown by the commission either In hearing the case or rendering a decision. Several Kansas towns, it was indi cated today, had planned to fight the freight rate case through their traffic bureaus and commercial organizations. Thcv will probably send representa tives to Topeka when the case is called. As yet, however, the commis tee has shown no tendency to give the big cao a place on. the docket. When th- Bristow order was issued denying the application to consolidate the freight rate case with the passen ger rate case, applications were made to attach the case to local freight rate cases. Both requests have ben de nied. It was to talk things vtr that t h- attorneys spent a few extra mo ments In serious consultation with the commission during the noon recess. DR.

City officials assume :t was responsible for the theft of lbout 20) feet of copper wire from Garfiel i park Sunday night. The theft was not reported until today. All at the wira within reach of an rdinary man the electric light wire has been nipped off with a pair of idlers and carried away. Copper wire is bringing a big price since the war began. Most of the wire taken tv hums to the Garfield Park Ammement company but a part of it belongs to the city. The wire was in place Sun day: it mowed Sunday night and there are no tracks in the snow so the amateur detectives around city hall figure the theft must have taken place Sunday night.

March L Both adminis tration and anti-administration men claimed vietory today after analyzing the vote at the aldermanie primaries yesterday Mayor Thompson pointed to a total of twenty-seven Republican aldermanie nominations supported by him as evidence of victory and the anti-ad ministration forces based their clai mof success on the fact that seven of the "rebel nine" aldermen, as Thompson's principal antagonists wvre styled, had been nominated. Mayor Thompson lost his home ward by 2,200. Former Congressman Fred Uundin, the mayor's choice of the political adviser, carried his ward by 3,200. ltoth ol the Republican factions de clared their determination today to continue the ght. In the DvmotT.itic primaries friends of Rogr C. Sullivan, who battled with supporters of former Mayor Carter H. 1 larrison, declared that they won in thirty-one of the thirty-five wards.

STAND UP STRAIGHT It Pays Big Dividends Declares W. P. McLean, Do you want to be beautiful and healthy and live to be a hundred? "Then stand up straight." is the advice given In a recent bulletin published by W J'. .McLean, director of physical j education of Topeka schools. "Lung t trouble 'consumption, pneumonia, tu berculosis) are generally found to I have been started or helped along by poor posture. Heart trouble, indiges tion and many stomach troubles are also caused by it. It is proved that many people would have lived longer i and been more happy and useful if I they had been trained to stand in good I position, declares the pamphlet, which is to be circulated among all the school children. Also if you wish to be "a forester, ranger, mail clerk, carrier, military or naval officer, fireman, j .iceman or school teacher." you woul better start to prepare now for the physical exam ination by keeping your head up. neck in line with spine, shoulders back and feet on the ground. TALK ON GARY SYSTEM It Is Subject of Discussion at Meeting of High School Teachers. Serious discussion of the much ad vertised "Gary system" took place at the meeting of the teachers' guild at the high school yesterday. According to Prof. A. J. Stout, "the Gary system, by which more pupils can be accom modated in less school space, was the big topic at the recent meeting of the National Kdueation association at De troit." Philip I. Hasty, director of manual training in Topeka schools, spent the first part of the week at Gary, Ind.. studying in detail the plan and its practicability for Topeka schools. "The s-ystem of intermediate high schools which Topeka was one of the first cities to adopt," was also dis cussed, raid Mr. Stout. "Topeka now has two such schools and probably soon will arrange for others. The ad vantage is that it gives the student an early chence to .specialize in prepara tion for his life work."

At 5 o'clock tomorrow evening Wil liam H. Van Sickle, ex-mayor of Olpe, Kansas, and real estate dealer and farmer of Lyon county, will report at the gates of the Lansing penitentiary lo begin a 5 to 21 -year sentence. Van I Sickle -was convicted in the Shawnee county district court on a charge of j committing a statutory crime against j Alma Stephenson, a 17-year-old coun try girl living near Olpe. He received sentence to the penitentiary before Judge Dana and carried his case to j the supreme court and lost. This morning Sheriff L. L. Kiene received a telegram from Van Sickle's attorneys stating that their client wished to begin his sentence at once. Mandate from the supreme court to the district court ordering Van Sickle committed was not due until tomor row. Upon receipt of the telegram Sheriff Kiene asked the clerk of the supreme court to issue the mandate today. The request was granted and this afternoon the district court made out Van Sickle's commitment to the penitentiary. This morning Van Sic kle's attorneys stated over the long distance 'phone to local officials that their client was anxious to make the trip to the penitentiary alone and not in custody of an officer. Tomorrow, Hugh Larimer, under sheriff, will leave for Lansing and at 6 o'clock he will meet the convicted man at the prison gates with the commitment, and a few minutes later Van Sickle will don the uniform of th 9 Kansas penal institution. History of the Case. Van Sickle was arrested in Olpe last spring when county officials found Alma Stephenson staying at the Rex hotel in Topeka at Van Sickle's ex pense. Once in the county attorney's office the Stephenson girl stated that she had run away from home and claimed that she and Van Sickle had visited several towns in Lyon, Osage and Shawnee counties eventually coming to Topeka. She said she had known an Sickle "ever she was a little girl." Even after Van Sickle had been arrested and she had an nounced h?r intention to give testi mony that would send him to the penitentiary she called Robert Carver, assistant county attorney, into a pri vate conference and said: "Tell him 1 love him, won't you At first she insisted that the sentence be put in the affidavit wherein she said that Van Sickle was responsible for her ruin. W. E. Atchison, Robert (iarver and Rad Lee prosecuted Van Sickle, who is a married man with several chil dren. The Stephenson girl is now with her parents in Olpe. canTkeeTaThing Cbartes liainl Is Looking for the Meanest log To Be Fou.i 1.

"People are stealing everything T have out there at the park," said Baird. "The last thing to disappear was a new set of driving harness. I can't keep anything. I have two dogs land I thought they would serve as j watch dogs but apparently they would 1 n't bite a rabbit. I want the meanest, orneriest, most vicious dog I can get. j I'm going to keep him chained up in j the day time and turn him loose at night. Til see if I can't stop some of I that stealing out around the park." Mr. Baird is looking after the aban doned park property and the old cafe building has been fitted up as a resi dence. He has been living there Since ilast fall. WAS ROYAL GARDENER Charles C. Gilliam Tended Queen Vic toria's Flower Beds. Charles C.

The high school is trying to buy a grand piano I for the assembly hall, and their con- cert is the first of a series of entertain- ments by which they hope to raise enough money to pay for it. Those j who are interested in the urofect con-I alder that inasmuch as the piano will be used Cor organization meetings and local concerts that will be held in the hi,; h school auditorium, the plan is rm of general community interest and benefit. The leap year ball for 1916 has parsed into Hellarthus club history It was a big night at Kellam hall and Wften 1 o'clock came no one could think of going home; so the orchestra was re-engaged for another hour. The diffident, conservative women who went to the party expecting to have their way made easy in asking for j dances and keeping count of their i dates, soon discovered that they had f to look out for themselves and they j threw aside their natural reserve and took the initiative of the leap year role very creditably. The envy of all the men, who were really "catty" about it. was the cor- sage bouquet wort: ay Mr. Charlie Mitchell, and presented him by his thoughtful wife Of course he couldn't wear the bouquet In its proper place.! Slice his stvle of u: ciiltecture would make it impractical for him to reach) Beyond the bouquet to a dancing i proximity to his pamier; so he pinned It to his shoulder and serenely taunted the other men less favored. I There were absolutely no wall flow- ers. The women were most generous in distributing their attentions, and I they managed to remember their dance engagements pretty well, even If it did cost them some worry to do j ao. Mr. Charles Barnes had dances i taken so far ahead that he lost count and cut dances with two of the women i scorts. He found himself the ohieetive point of a near-Hot, and was barely able to square himself before the end of the party. The women took their guests to the party in carriages or automobiles. The rpen sat gamely along the wall and 7NUR1B9 The Newest Discovery.

The women never forgot to thank J them for the dance and to bow at just j the right angle. And one thing the j women did that the men could learn j to do as soon as the music started the dancing began.

Advertisement IT WAS WORTH IT Rotary Club Waited 3 Honrs to Hear Albert. President's Address Made Up for Long Delay. Extemporaneous talent in the Ro tary club was stretched to its utmost at the Albert banquet at Pelletier's tea room last, evening when Robert Stone, president of Topeka Rotarians, re ceived a telegram from Allen D. Al bert, international president, at 7 o'clock announcing a wreck between St. Joseph and Omaha which made it impoesible for him to arrive until 10:20 o'clock. It behooved President Stone to fill a gap of more than two hours not a difficult task after all, it was proven. Ed. C. Fox can entertain that long and Trrle he refused to participate in the program after answering two en cores for his dialect stories the audi ence would have been ready to hear hiin a dozen times more. Charles A. Moore, president of the Co-Operative club, gave a short talk; Ray N. Latt ner sang the Rotary song to the tune of a "Little Bit of Heaven" and for an encore chose the Press club parody. "A Little Bit of Irishman," written by Harry Caylor. Reading by Mrs. Johnson. Mai co Morrow presented a Rotary cup to Father John Murphy and the priest responded imnressively and with feeling. Mrs. Lillian Stone John son, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Stone, gave an excellent reading and a very good orchestra played numer ous selections. A feature the women of the crowd missed was a smoking room established by the men near the elevator. President Albert arrived about 10:30 o'clock and made a half hour address. His well chosen and deliv ered remarks were all about Rotary and when he explained to the ladies that liquor and coarse stories were tabooed at Rotary meetings there were volumes of applause A story told in the Albert way about his own chil dren probably brought out more clear ly the true aim of Rotary. That's Rotary. One day a young Albert came romp ing into the big Minneapolis home and upon being question told his father that he had been playing football. "'Who played?" asked the father. "Some of the boys a nd Mike." "Do you like football?" "It's a beany game." "Who told you that?" "Mike." Who's Mike?" Oh, Mike's the son of John, the new man in the garage." "It was then I realized that in order to rear my children properly, I must at the same time look out for the wel fare of Mike, the son of John, the new man in the garage," said Mr. Albert. "That's Rotary." Then he outlined some of the char itable work done by Rotarians. Hi3 remarks all met with much applause. His talk is smooth and his illustrations teem with the "heart throb." He is a fascinating speaker and never fails to hold his audience. He is a man worth hearing. Rotary Spokes. President Albert will speak at 8 o'clock tonight at the high school auditorium. Ttvo meeting will be un der the auspices of the Commercial club and open to every one. "Forces Which Build Cities" will be his sub ject. President Albert thas been a stu dent of civic affairs for yiars and this lecture is famed throughout the country. How did Albert get on his dress suit? It wasn't seven minutes after the train arrived until he reached Pel letier's. the most immaculately dressed man present. A. P. McKown, manager of Pelle tier's. came in for his full share of praise for the pretty decorations. The partition in the tea room prepared for banquets is now in and from now on Pelletier's promises to be the center of club activities. Wraps were checked an the first floor and rugs spread over the floor from the Ninth street door to the elevator. AT THE THEATERS At the Orphcuiii. Orrin Johnson in D'Artagnan will be the Triangle play at the Orpheum this afternoon and tonight. Charles Mur ray in the Keystone comedy, "His Hereafter," gives the oldtime come dian a better chance than ever to make one laugh. Fargo and Wells in vaudeville appear for the last time at the Orpheum tonight. The last half of the week the pro gram at the Orpheum will be Wilfred Lucas in "Acquitted" and Charles Mur ray again, this time in "Fido's Fate." Sounds funny, censors say it is. The Southern Harmony four, the male quartette, which won round after round of applause last week will be at the Orpheum again Thursday, Friday and Saturday. At the Novelty. George N. Brown, world's champion walker, and Billy Weston may be ac credited with an entirety new novei y in vaudeville in their one mile walk ing race which they are presenting at the Novelty today. Specially designed treadmills arc used to record the speod at which they travel. Neal Anderson, a former favorite with the North Brothers Stock company, and his wife, Elsie Norwood, a Topeka girl, app-iir in a funny comedy skit, "What Else Could He Think?' The plot and com edy of the skit centers about a wooden leg. Devine and Williams nave a comedy singing and talking skit that is entertaining. Olga plays a violin and dances at the same time .p a graceful manner. "The Alster rase," a detective drama in five parts, pre sented by the Essanay company, com pletes the program for today.

Recommends Energetic Steps to Relieve Shortage. Atlanta, Ga., March 1. Energetic steps for the relief of the car shortage on western railroads were recommend ed after exhaustive study of the situ ation by the con mittee on car .service of the American Railway association and forwarded to the Interstate Com merce commission and to each rail road in the United States. The south west so far has not suffered acutely from car shortage or from congestion at the eastern ports but as the car famine in the west must necessari'y reflect itself in this section sooner or later, the southwestern railroads 1 ave been closely watching conditions for the nation as a whole. Two and a half million freight cars are required to handle the traffic of this country, and as a summary of the car surpluses and shortages compiled by the American Railway associa ion j on January 1 showed the net surplus was only 21,48o cars, counting all tne cars in shops and under repair, the danger to the commerce of the coun try is so manifest that the recom- j mendations of this committee ire of universal interest and importance. It is expected that salutary results will follow from the policy outlined by 'he committee, which is composed of Fair fax Harrison, chairman, president of the Southern railway; R. H. Aishton, j vice president of the Northwestern i railroad; G. J. Peck, vice president of the Pennsylvania lines; H. E. Bryam. vice president of the Burlington lines: A. H. Smith, president New York Cen tral Lines and Arthur Hale, secretary. HERE AND THERE IN THE RAILWAY WORLD.

They are to be with drawn pending decision of the su preme court in the proceedings launched by former Congressman Marion E. Rhoades to test the com mission's authority to inerea.-;? rates above the statutory maximum. The announcement comes .Torn Thomas M. Bradbury. A decision ot the court is expected at the April term. In response to inquiries as 'o the reorganization of the Missouri. Kan sas Texas railway, a statemtnt has been given out- by representatives of Hallgarten Co., and J. W. Seiigmn Co. Prior to the appointmeni last September of a receiver, the manage ment requested Hallgarten Co. and J. W. Seligman Co., neither of which firms had issued any of its se curities, to formulate a pi. in for ihe readjustment of its capital and debt. They at once undertook an examina tion of the affairs of the company. The statement which is beint? pro pared in detail will probably be com pleted early in April. Card of Thanks.

WO CIIANCK FOR MORAX. Joe Choynski Says Willard WU1 Win Fight With Ease. Eittsburg, Pa., March 1. Joe Cho vnski. the old time heavyweight, who is now boxing Instructor at the Pitts burg Athletic club, in discussing the coming contest between Frank Moran and Jess Willard. said that ho couldn't see where the Pittsburger had a life chance. "Not that I count Willard a cham pion." said Joe. "but because he Is thS best of a poor quality of fighters thSt couldn't hold a candle to the old tlrhers. I can't see where Moran wi'.l ever reach Willard enough to tease him, and I believe the big fellow will wii on points. Neither man could knock a good man out." chance. It doesn't take a punch with the kick of an ostrich in it to knock out the biggest of men, and if Moran should accidentally plant the right kind of a blow in the right spot it might prove disastrous if Jess were not at his fittest. And in addition to this, Willard needs to be in the best of condition because he should want a knock out. If he wins on mere points, the cham pion can count himself just $47,500 better off than he was before the bout. But if he makes the Pittsburgher turn up his toes, he will win a bonus worth as much as the purse itself in acquir ing a reputation as a real fighter. Friday afternoon the Washburn basketball team will go to St. Marys to play the Catholics. The Ichabods have placed their hope of a confer ence victory in this game, and have based their hope on the showing St. Marys has made. However, the Cath olics are always strong on their own court, and a close contest may be ex pected. Local baseball followers who know anything of the ability of "Lefty" Sproull, the K. IT. player who has been signed by the Savages, believe that his ability to make the team will depend upon his hitting. Tf Sproul does make good, he should prove a valuable asset to the club. Local Team Sow Fifth in the National Tournament. In match 10 of the National Inter Club championship series, L. C. Bell made the highest score of the Topeka Rifle club, getting a total of 194 out of a possible 200.

Nevertheless, He Must Be Good Shape March 25. in BY JESS WILLARD. New York, March I. After I en joyed a corking rub down at the hands of Walter Monahan and Jack Hemple Tuesday at the Pioneer Sporting club, one of the boys asked me how I felt. "Never felt better in my life," I re plied, and the best thing about it was that it was the gospel truth. Many times you hear of a fighter slapping himself on the chest and declaring in loud tones he was never better, when he was really trying to fool persons. In my case, it is entirely different. I am as fit as a top and I feel better about it than the promoters and those who have been worried about my con dition. The only bother that sticks around is a slight cold in my head. The way It is disappearing indicates that by the end of the week my head will be as clear as crystal. While nothing to cause a fellow any worry, a cold in the head is about the most annoying thing that could be wished on anyone, lias 1 .ons Work. When the old "code id the head" was pestering me at home I felt like smashing everything in the house.

When they are satisfied that the candle is beginning to burn at both ends, they stop, and stop in a hurry. Those who follow the common sense idea hustle off to enjoy themselves; in j winter down in Florida and in summer In the mountains. Those who im agine they are made of unbreakable I material help to keep sanitariums go- j ing at good profits. But don't infer that one must take matters too easy. Tnat is as bad as either of the two faults mentioned. Laziness runs to softness and flabbiness and makes one an easy prey to the many ills that prevail. It is imperative that I enter the ring in Madison Square garden full of pep. Frank Moran may turn out to be one of the easiest opponents I ever faced, but, nevertheless, it is absolute ly necessary for me to be in perfect condition. The most grievous error one can make in any walk of life is underrating a rival. When I climb through the ropes I am going to bo in the best of condition, for there is too much at stake and I have had enough hard knocks around this little world not to undervalue a world's championship.
