April 1 I. In both houses of congress Mexican develop ments were watched closely and ther was an undercurrent of sentiment chiefly among Republicans, that the cm nargo on munitions of war every where in Mexico should be enforced. Chairman Stone of the foreign rela tions committee, after conferring with Secretary Lansing, said the state de partment hid no information not made public. "The problem confronting this gov ernment is how long it would be wise to keep an expeditionary force in Mex ico," said Senator Stone. "I hav never believed that we would achievt the capture of Villa. Diaz had a price on Villa's head for years and could not get him. I do not doubt that Car ranza would like to get him, but he has been unable to do so. Villa is in bis own country and our soldiers are in a difficult, unknown country. They have succeeded in breaking s me of Villa's bands and have accomplished something. I was strongly in favor of sending the expedition after Villa whether it got him or not. "But we have recognized the de facto government in Mexico and agreed to send an expeditionary force into Mexico for a certain purpose. How long: can we let that army stay In a foreign country where friction al ready exists and where more friction is bound to develop? If we adhere to our policy toward Mexico we cannot keep the army there. To my mind the only alternative to withdrawing the iroops. sooner or later, is interven tion." in Men in Bandit Baud.

General Pershing moved his camp south yesterday penetrating far into Vftla territory, where he found num erous constitutionalist detachments under General Garza, who gave all the Americans a friendly greeting and co operation. Aeroplanes which were first to reach this new front yesterday had remarkable adventures but all came through safely. General Persh ing travelled here in a motor train -f supply trucks, which made a record breaking trip. The fight, which occurred about 9 o'clock last night was several miles in the rear of the automobile carrying General Pershing and his escort. It lasted about 20 minutes. When the bandits who tried to cap ture one truck came up, the Ameri cans poured in five volleys, which ended the fight completely. There were two attacks, the first a slight one. and directed again.-1 a forward truck. The last attack was a rush against the rear trucks during which bullets flew against the automobiles and poured through the brush which cov ered the mesa I rgo Report on Parral.

Unbroken silence on those subjects was not taken at headquarters, how ever, to mean that General Pershing was unaware of the fight, or that ht was doing nothing to assist the de tached and menaced cavalrymen General Funston and his staff officers leatized that General Pershing must first receive from Parral the .toiy of what occurred, and because of hid own location far to the front perhaos oeyond tht- most advanced wireless station, might have to use couriers in netting the account of the develop ments of the last 48 hours back to he border.

Premier Bowser paid a tribute to the work done by women of the coun try during the war. In every walk of life, hp said, they had shown an abil ity to take the place of men who have gone to the front and to carry on the business of the country.

CITY DECIDES TO ADVERTISE FOR RIDS ON INTEREST Commissioners Take Action on Daily Balances Today. Effort to Receive More for Their Funds in Banks. COUNTY IS GIVEN SETBACK Topeka Bankers Say They Can Pay Only 2 Per Cent Now. New Rate Will Cost Shawnee $1,600 in One Year. In response to public sentiment in the city and county for a larger rate of interest on the daily balances in the Topeka banks, two important ac tions were taken at the court house and at the city hall today. The board of city commissioners went on record in an effort to gain a higher rate by officially proposing to ask bids on the municipal funda. The county commissioners were in formed in letters from local financial institutions that effective May 1 only 2 per cent would be paid on county daily balances. The contention arose from the reve lation that the banks in Topeka pay 3 per cent to the state of Kansas, 3 per cent to the school board, 2 per cent to the county and only 2 per cent to the city. The county commissioners were in formed through communications from six leading Topeka banks that after May 1 it would be impossible for them to pay more than 2 per cent on daily balances. It is probable that at a meeting soon of the board of county commissioners the city's action in ad vertising for bids will be followed out. One of the county commissioners in sinuated today that It might be ad visable for the county to place funds in the country banks in Shawnee out side Topeka. City's Action. Behind closed doors, in the office of Commissioner of Finance Wasson, today a conference of all city com missioners, as well as Mayor House, was held regarding the action the city was officially to take regarding the rate of interest the city is receiving for its dally balances from the banks. It was decided to have Commissioner Wasson direct the city clerk to adver tise for bids for the use of the city money, which he did. After the meeting, which instructed the city clerk to advertise for bids for the use of the city's money. Wag son was asked "Were all of the commissioners, as well as the mayor, in accord with your action this morning?" "They were," he replied, "and they were all here in this office at the con ference." "Have you. within the past few days, interviewed all of the bankers who have on deposit in their banks city money, asking them to increase the rate of interest and pay the city at least three per cent for the use of its, money "I have," was the reply, "and they all turned me down." "Did you let all of the commission ers and the mayor know of the result of your efforts, at this meeting this morning "I did. and we all discussed the fact." "Knowing the attitude and opinion of the various bankers as you state, how do you figure that advertising for bids will get the city more interest for its money?" Put Them on Record. "Well, it's this way, we want to put them on record," he said. "Has it not been suggested to you to introduce an ordinance to make it mandatory that you or your successors receive not less, than three per cent for all money on daily balances, and has not this suggestion come from practical business men V he was asked. "Well. yes. that is so. but we all thought this way better." When the attention of Commission er Porter was called to the fact that Wasson had called on all of the bank ers and had been turned down in his request for more interest, he said "Officially I know nothing about that. What I want is to get the bankers on record, then we can go after them If it is necessary-" County Action. Topeka banks, now paying two and one-half interest on daily balances, did not wait for the county commis sioners to demand that the rate be in creased to three per cent. Instead, they got together and today showered the commissioners with letters, an nouncing that beginning with May X they would pay only- two per cent in terest on daily balances that they would cut the rate one-half of one per cent. The action of the banks -was totally unexpected by the county commission ers. The first intimation they had came in the morning mail in the form of letters from six Topeka banks, all following much the same form. The arguments used in explaining the re duction are the same in all the letters. "Funny how the minds of all bank ers run in the same channel." remark ed a commissioner after the letters had been opened. Kffectivc May 1. The letters, all announcing the cut of one-half of one per cent beginnir with May 1, are from the Merchants' National bank, the Central National bank, the German-American State bank, the State Savings bank, the Shawnee State bank and the Citizens State bank. The commissioners are expecting similar letters from all other Topeka banks with which they do business. "How will you meet the bankers on this proposition?" was asked of Fred Nipps. chairman of the board of com missioners. "I've known about it only five min utes." he replied, "and want time to (Coatiuued on Page 2.) Billy Sunday Believes Whale Gobbled Jonah Baltimore, Md April 1 4.

Shown the United Press dispatch concerning the action of the pres bytery. Billy said: "I believe the Bible from cover to cover. The man who doesn't has no right in the Presbyterian pulpit.

GOING INTO CAMP Thirty Men From Battery A Ordered to Fair Grounds. Will Be in Charge of a Regu lar Army Officer. A gunner's detachment of thirty men from Battery A with two pieces, of artillery and all the paraphernalia of a real military encampment will gu into camp at the fair grounds tomor row. Under the direction of Sergeant William H. Brady of the regular army, thirty Topeka boys will live a soldier's life for an indefinite period. Lieut. Frank Thorpe of the Sixth field artillery, will arrive Thursday. April 20, to conduct an examination for first class gunners. When asked if the encampment had any significance with regard to the complication in Mexico. Captain Hit refused to answer. Among members of the battery Lieutenant Thorpe's visit is interpreted as an effort on th" part of the war department to get all the K. X. G. in shape for field service as soon as possible. This is the first local encampment of the kind that the battery has ever had and its occurs rence at this time is regarded as siafr nificant. TO PUT ON MOTOR Ser?ice Will Be Installed on Hue L. T. S.

There id no doubt about the installation of such a car that will give Topeka i morning service on that road, Mr. Austin announced today. "And it will open up a territory closed to Topeka in years past," said Mr. Austin. "Oskaloosa and Ozawkk1 people have been going either to Leavenworth orKansasCity on accoun of better train service. I don't believe they will do this after a morning train, which runs into Topeka, is put on the road. The motor will leave Leaven worth about S o'clock in the morning, arriving in Topeka about 10 o'clock. It will leave Topeka about 4:30 and reach Leavenworth about 6:30 o'clock."

J., president of the ('nited States Rubber Export company of this city, who was a passenger on the Sus sex, escaping uninjured. Mr. Huxley, after confirming previously cabled news dispatches regarding the attacic on the Sussex, stated positively mat from the hour that the vessel left the British shore until the moment that she was attacked and for nine hours thereafter not another vessel was I sighted except the destroyer which came to the rescue. Carried No Munitions. I Mr. Huxley made this assertion in connection with the text of Germany's j note of April 10 to the state depart ment. citing an attack by a German submarine on an unnamed vessel in the vicinity of the Sussex at the hour when the latter met with mishap. Mr. j Huxley also said he was positive the Sussex carried no ammunition. The German note declared that "a violent explosion" on the ship which was tor pedoed warranted "the certain conclu j sion that great amounts of munitions J were aboard." When he and other passengers were in the junior officer's room on board the rescuing destroyer, Mr. Huxley said a warrant officer who had talked with the captain of the Sussex de clared that the captain had said he had seen the wake of a torpedo. Mr. Huxley showed a letter which he saio had been written by Captain Thomas Cn rroll. French embarkation officer at Boulogne. France.

Burlington Quincy ar." considering seriously an extension of their lines to this point, it is un derstood here by persons in closS touch with railway affairs. Both lines now enter Leavenworth and ItS known that they have seen representa tives here within the last two months to look "the ground" over. In the event either of the roads completes arrangements to enter the city, it will be done through annexa tion of the Leavenworth Topeka which has just gone into the h;i nds of a receiver, it is said. Agents of the Great Western it is known made an inspection tour of the L. T. Just prior to its desertion by the Atchison, Topeka Santa F- and the I'nion Pa cific, who according to railway men held the line for years to withhold from other roads a means of reaching Topeka. That the Atchison, Topeka Santa Fe and the I'nion Pacific are no longer unwilling that an outside line should obtain control of the Leaven worth ft Topeka is admitted by repre sentatives of the two lines. When a receiver was asked for the L. T., at torneys for the lines expressed them selves as positive that the Leaven worth Topeka could not be made to support itself from the revenues earn ed on Its forty-seven miles of line be tween Leavenworth a nd Meriden. Probably Must Be BbML Despite the expressed intention of William A. Austin, receiver for the Leavenworth Topeka, to make the line a paying proposition, railroad men freely predict that eventually It must be sold. In appointing Mr. Austin re ceiver. Judge Pollock instructed him that funds to meet the expense of operating the railway must be obtain ed from the road's revenues. Judge Pollock further advised Mr. AunUti that in ihe event this cannot be done, he report to the court who will ask the I'nion Pacific, on whose petitio? the receiver was appointed, to amend its original petition so as to ask for a foreclosure and sale of the property. In the event the Leavenworth ft Topeka Is purchased by nrtn of the two roads seeking to enter Topeka, It probably would have to build a line from Meriden to its terminal her. L. T. trains now reach here from Meri den over the main line of the Atchi son, Topeka A Santa Fe. By an agree ment between the two lines the con tract to operate L. T. trains into T peka over the Santa Fe can be termi nated at any time on sixty davs no tice. Just what terminal facilities a new road could obta in here railroad men are unwilling to say. That, however, it is admitted, will be one of the big gest problems that will face a railroad seeking to extend its line to Topeka. The possibility of another road's reaching Topeka haw long been recog nized by lines now operating into tffce city, and Is said to be the principal reapnn for the control of the L. A T. by the Santa Fe and Cnion Pacific. After sixteen years of guardianship, however, at a loss of several hundred thousand dollars, the two lines are willing to quit.

The first loss of American lives in the punitive expedition in Mexico oc cured in the firing on the American troops at Parral. Official advices re ceived here today say that Mexican civilians fired into the troops, killing one American and wounding another. The troops replied. killing many, (kfranza troops did not fire on the Americans but assisted In restoring order. Th1 advices say that when the America n troops entered the local commander recalled the American as-ebrani-f t hat they would not pass tfcrougb towns. The filing started by escited civilians followed. The sit umt ion iuieted but later another clash bjltween the American troops and the rjlriliaiis occured in which there were iqoi tiat h among the Mexicans. News of the Wash was contained itt the following telegram from 4u. i etn t o diiied yesterday and sent by foreign minister Aguilar to Kliseo ijrrendondo. General Carranza's am lMmador here: I HI ease confer with the Honorable turret a ry Lansing and inform him that today at 1 p. m. a column of 30 American soldiers entered the city of Harral. The mayor of the city, Jose De JLu Lux Herrera immediately called the attention of the commander oJT.this column to the inconvenience of his entering the city. His soldiers immediately withdrew but when they were leaving the people protestetd and the mayor and military command eer tried to control them with their appeals in order to prevent friction but owing to the imprudence of a ci vilian who fired a shot a general dis order followed in which one American Hotelier was killed and several civilians were wounded." Columbus Charges False and "Gross Injustice," He Says. WATCH CARRANZA San Antonio, Texas, April 14. In a telegram to the adjutant general. Gen eral Funston has declared that most of the statements made by Senator Fall, of New Mexico, in a recent letter to Senator GalHnger about the Colum bus raid were wholly false and ridi cu loud. Sharply criticizing Fall for making an attack on officers and men of the Thirteenth cavalry when they are hundred pf miles down in Mexico on arduous duties. General Funston pro Veeds to derend his men against this "gross injustice." He says the sena tor's assertion that citizens fought 50 minutes before the arrival of the troops in town is 'mere rubbish." He says Private Griffin fired the first shot and within five minutes the oth j or soldiers of the camp were in action; but being so greatly outnumbered, they could not prevent the bandits i from going on into the town. Got Few Horses. In reply to Fall's claim that the bandits got a hundred American cav airy horses, Funston says the first re i port gave the horses lost as 45. which included those killed and a consider able number stampeded and after I wards recovered. He points to the 1 fact that 13 bandits were killed In the corral as proof that the raid on the I horses was not successful. The general expresses the opinion j that when Colonel Slocum returns he will have opportunity to prove his as i sertions in the courts. Intelligence officers have taken i steps to learn definitely the raove l ments of General Arnulfo Gomez's I troops on the Senora-Chihuahua line. If this Carranzista force becomes a menace to the line of communica tion, American troops will be concen i trated at the point of danger. ALRMNOWS THEM Mexican PoUce Officer Believes His Countrymen Will Fight Uncle Sara. London, April 14. The morning pa pers express some apprehension re garding the situation of General Townshend at Kut-el-Amara, although it is unanimously affirmed that Wednesday's Turkish official com munication is greatly exaggerated. As to the size of the beleaguered force, there is no certain information, ac cording to a statement made in parlia ment. The division originally under Ger.eral Townshends command was su pplemented by other troops when it advanced on Ctesiphon. But his force has since been diminished by at least 6,100 casualties. The Daily Mail says: Cut Off by Turks. "One hundred and twenty-eight clays have passed since the Turks be gan the siege of Kut-el-Amara and severed General Townshend and the remnants of his division from the out side world. For 128 days he has looked down the Tigris for the aid that is so slow to come- Of his con dition we have been permitted to know nothing. That is not cheerful. But Gordon in the last hours of his epic defense at Khartoum, ordered the bands to play merrily. And ill great soldiers have shown this spirit in days of danger- "Kut-el-Amara is one of the drear iest habitations in the world. The floods and weather are now worse than ever and this means immensely in creased difficulties for the relief force. The delay is the more serious be cause in every camp there must come a time when the stores and supplies run low." CONDENSED NEWS Chinese Rebels Killed.

WAR, TROOPSTEMAIN Further .iMriirtlottis to Keep Tab on Gomez's Force. San Antonio. April 14. Acting on instructions sent from General Fun ton's headquarters, ecouts were sent today to locate and keep in touvh with General Arnulfo Gomez's force, reported moving southeast toward Casa Grandes. General Funston said he had taken other precautions to guard against any action directed toward the- expeditolonary force. It was also increasingly evident to day that the war department has en deavored to provide against all possi bilities although the strictest secrecy has been observed. GRAND JDRY IS DUSY While Augustin Alba is hoping to the contrary, being an American citi zen, he is expecting daily to hear of the massacre of a garrison of United States troops in Mexico. Alba is on I the Topeka police force as a plain i clothes man. and has been connected with the force for fifteen years. He keeps In touch with affairs in his na tive country through conversations with Mexicans fresh from the south. Recent information from Mexico, secured first hand by Alba, leads him to believe that plans are being formed to make an attack on the United j States troops with troops of all Mexi t can factions under the leadership of Villa. Vlba believes the ordering of 1 the American troops out of Mexico by i Carranza is a part of the plot. The battle, according to Alba's informa- tion, will be somewhere near the city I of Chihuahua. Eight Indictment Have Been Re turned Since) Session Began.

Any extensive movement of troops along the line, the seizure of railroad.-i or the dispatch of additional men into Mexico will depend upon the exact wording of Secretary Baker's instruc tions and upon character of General Pershing's expected report. No im portant change will be made until General Pershing has communicated with headquarters. Villa Spies in Camp. With the American Army in Mex ico, by Wireless to Columbus, N. M., April 14. Villlstas are keeping a sharp watch on the United States forces pursuing their wounded leader. This was suggested by the report that Manuel Bacca, Villa lieutenant, was seen in Namiquipa, near which town General Pershing's field headquarters are now located. If true, then Bacca was not killed at San Geronimo In the fight of March 29 as reported. Detachments from headquarters are scouring the hills around Namiquipa for Villista Colonel Cervantes and a band of 100 followers reported to have been cut off from the main band south of the American advance. The hiding place of Pablo Lopez, wounded Villista leader, reported left behind with friendly Mexicans, is also being sought. large Villa Band Near Parral. El Paso. April 14. United States troops around Parral are facing a critical situation, according to reports received here today. A supposedly Villista band defeated by American troops at Troya last Mon day, retreated toward Parral, an offi cial Mexican report stated. The vic torious United States army pursued but found sentiment against them at a high pitch in Parral. The fight between the Mexican mob and the American detachment followed on Wednesday. Reports were also received of Vil listas or independent bandits between the American advance and the San Antonio (Mexico) base of the Ameri can expedition. One force of 200 bandits attacked a cattle train only three miles from Parral. This force may have been among the Mexicans who fought the Ameri can troops in the streets of Parral. Bandits Defeat De Ftectos. Another bandit force in that vicin ity defeated the Carranzista garrison at Pilar De Cochas. driving them back on Parral. The de facto troops it Del Valle also were beaten by the guer rillas. If the Carranza garrison in Parral joined these Villistas or independent bandits against the Aim -lean forces, the situation would become critical, it was admitted here. The question whether the Carran zista troops took part in the fighting against the American soldiers in Par ral was regarded as the most signifi cant phase to be cleared up by await ed official advices from General Pershing. The Mexican account, post ed in Juarez today stated that civilians attacked the United States troops who entered Parral by mistake. No men tion was made of any deaths or injury to Mexicans, the Carranza officials evidently seeking to prevent 111 feel ing among the Juarez soldiers. Juarez Ami-American. The Juarez garrison is considered strongly anti-American. When Consul Garcia was reminded of his recent claim that the inhabi tants of Parral had been disarmed weeks ago. he replied that the civilians "hid out" guns and ammunition. "It was the citizens, not the soldiers, who opposed the entry of the Ameri can troops into Parral and who fired on the United States soldiers." Garcia, declared. Other reports stated, however, that the officers of the Parral garrison could not control their men and that the soldiers took part in the fighttny. Herrera Is Mayor. The fact that the mayor of Parral is Jose De La Luz Herreja is considered significant here. He is the father of General Luis Herrera. who, despite his cordial meeting with General Pershing at the front a few days ago, is still re ported as the leader of the anti-Ameri can element in Carranza s army. CITY DECIDES r on m n tied from Pa ge One.j think about it. However, there are several things we can do. Send Money Away? "In the first place the law does not require the county to keep its money in Shawnee county. As I understand it we have authority to advertise for bids and place the money anywhere in Kansas we see fit. "Again, we might instruct the county treasurer to deposit a lare;e part of the county's money and take out time certificates. In that way the county would draw four per cent on its time deposits, but would get only two per cent on the checking ac count which would be necessary to have in at least one bank." In Country Banks. Boyd Pollom, a member of the board, favors placing the money in the country banks in Shawnee county if they are willing to pay a higher rate than the Topeka banks. "This much is certain," said Chair man Nipps, "if there is any bank in Topeka or the county willing to pay more interest than the Topeka banks who have written us it can have all the county funds it can handle." "Then the commissioners are not going to accept two per cent without a protest was asked. "By all means no," replied Mr. Nipps. lohs of Si. 000 a Year. A reduction of one-half of one per cent in the interest rate on the daily balances of Shawnee county will mean a loss exceeding $1,600 a year, based upon balances carried in the past. The average daily balance for the year is in excess or 5400.000. The excuse given by the Topeka bankers for their reduction in interest rates, apparently discovered by most of the banker's the same day, is that interest rates on bonds and commer cial paper have fallen in the last six months. The liOtter In Full. The following letter, sent to the commissioners by one of the leading banks of Topeka Is typical of the six received "Gentlemen For the last six months interest rates on municipal bonds and commercial paper have fallen from a half per cent on the former to three and over on the lat ter and Kansas City and other easern banks have notified us that they car. pay but two per cent interest in the future on our demand daily bank bal ances. We were not altogether taken by surprise, as rumors for the last three months have indicated that th:5 would happen. We think it is a con dition produced by the war slowing down so many large manufacturing establishments of staples for home and foreign consumption, thus flcTod ing the market with idle money." "We do not know whether it will be permanenb-birt think the action of the eastern banks indicates that they hav despaired of conditions. We are, there fore, compelled to reduce the interest on our daily balances to the same rate of interest we are receiving, namely, two per cent, beginning May 1. 1915, thus paying the county about the same as paid it about a year ago. which action we hope will not meet with your disapproval. All bankers hope that money will soon be in nor mal or better demand but as long as the war lasts can only guess when that will be. One of the banks states in its letter that it intends to reduce the interest rates on all public money carried on daily balances except in cases where there is an existing contract for a higher rate of interest. This is the saving clause with reference to the state's money. WARM AND BRIGHT CORPS IN DANGER Anxiety Felt Oyer Clash With U. S- Cavalry at Parral. De Facto General at Juarez Suppresses Wild Rumor. Washington, April 14. Deep anx iety was felt in official circles today over the fate of Major Tompkins and j his little force of United States cavalry Attacked in Parral, Mexico, on Wednesday. Known to be outnum- j bered. perhaps beleaguered in a dis- trict notoriously anti-American, it was feared that the troopers might be in grave danger. Lack of information of1 the isolated detachment Intensified the anxiety for their safety. While awaiting official confirmation regarding the outcome of the first battle the American troops have had in Mexico with the natives and what steps General Funston has taken to prevent further trouble, the question of what effect the attack will have on the administration's Mexican policy was under consideration today by President Wilson and his official fam ily. BJo Immediate Withdrawal. General Carranza's note and tele grams urging the withdrawal from Mexico of the American troops and all information at hand regarding the latest military development were ready to be laid before the cabinet. It was said to be practically certain that no immediate order for withdrawal of troops will be given. Congress has an opportunity to show its feeling of the situation today. The news of the attack on the American soldiers at Parral arrived after ad journment yesterday. The Carranza withdrawal proposal, however, seemed to meet the general sentiment amonK the members that the administration is free to handle the situation for the present. Rumor Mongers Busy. El Paso, April 14. In spite of alarming rumors and considerable ap prehension which was expressed in some quarters the night in El Paso and Juarez passed peacefully. As far as is apparent on the surface the Mexicans in this city and Juarez have only a languid interest in the situa tion brought about by General Car ranza's request for the withdrawal of the American troops and the clash at Parral. At the same time American agita tors who have been busy for weeks spreading stories of the United States intention to embark on a war of con quest, have not overlooked their op portunity. Their first effort was the spreading of a story in Juarez that hundreds of people had been slain in an attack upon Parral by American soldiers and that the "Gringoes" had been defeated with great losses. Gen eral Gavira, the Carranza command er, took speedy steps to crush this yarn by posting in a prominent place the decree of General Obregon which was read by thousands yesterday. Th people accepted the official version and what little excitement had been created quickly abated. PRESSCtUBllNNER Kansas City Newspaper Men Guests of Local Writers Monday.

"Cight victims of the drug habit yesterday afternoon told how they purchased heroin, morphine and cocaine from Drs. J. H. and U. G. Hughes, broth ers, who are on trial before the state board of health, charged with illegal sales of narcotics. Hazel .Burrow, I! years old, 405 East Fourteenth street, said she pur chased a large amount of heroin 'rom Dr. J. H. Hughes for $3 a hundred grains. She said he made no examina tion of her condition nor gave her a. prescription of any kind. Mrs. Ida Burrow, the girl's mother, said: Sold Girl 7.000 rains. "1 asked him not to sell my daugh ter any more drugs, as I had spent 2 I large amount to have her cured," Mrs j Burrow said. "He replied he pould sell her heroin any time she had the money and that the government pr -j tected him. When 1 protested he I shoved me out of the office and j threatened to call the police. He told I me he had sold my daughter 7.000 t grains of heroin." Mrs. Burrow said her daughter sold a diamond ring, a watch and most all i of h-.- clothes to get money to bay i heroin. j Other witnesses, most of them pris oners at the municipal farm, testified 'to purchasing drugs, chiefly morphine and cocaine, from Dr. Hughes, under it he Kuise of being cured of the habit.

W. N. Haskin. national director of the Order of Stags, is in the city and has already secured nearly one hun dred applications from some of the representative citizens of Topeka as members. The Stags are incorporated unde: the laws of the state of Missouri, and is the outgrowth of twenty years' ex perience in the fraternal world. The founders of the order aim in making a stronger brotherhood than some f the many such societies already ex isting, hence they planned for the only tilings upon which such a society could be founded defense of the home defense of the brother de fense of the country. The order is beneficial in many of its workings, as local droves are pay ing sick and accident benefits, death benefits, furnish free physicians for the members and their families, help each other in business, and aid mem bers in obtaining employment, if necessary, furnish social advantages, free tecal advice to members, estab lish elegant cluh rooms. A novel feature of the Stags is the way they aim to care for the orphan children of the members instead of sending them to be cared for within the cold and cheerless walls of an orphan or foundling asylum, the Stags arrange with some family of a jm- oer m the town or city in which the i child has been living, and pay its board, and see that it is educate 1 and jreared amid surroundings that are j pleasant and beneficial. Headquarters of the Stags while be I mg organized is at 301 New England I building. Mr. Haskin is assisted by several j deputies who came to the city fresh j from their success in Omaha. Neb., (where a drove of over 1,700 members has been installed.

But people often fail Jo get the strength out of their food because they haven't enough iron in their blood to enable it to change food into living matter.

This thing may go on for years, while the patient suf fers untold agony.

Kvidenc" seems to be accumulating daily to establish the fact that nobody has any very clear idea as to where Villa may be in Mexico, with the ex ception, of course, of Villa himself. It was admirably conservative on the part of those who reported the death of a Manitoba man from biting his throat with his own false teeth nor to announce that he died of hy drophobia. And the recent April showers surely ouzht to make the May flowers sit up and take notice. So many of the umpires named by President Zehrung for service in the Western league this -season are strang ers to the fans on the circuit that it will take the latter some time to as certain just how clever they may be at dodging pop bottles and such things. It will also be interesting to observe whether California's woman mayor has an easier time of It than did Kan sas's woman mayor of recent memory, the one who put Hunnewell in the limelight for a brief period. Senator Week's rather severe criti cism of those who are "promoting" the candidacy of Justice Hughes for the Republican presidential nomina tion may have been prompted by the fact that the Massachusetts solon has been for some time and still is an avowed contender for the honor. That being the case, it loses much of its sting or force. Villa will now probably die of heart failure, superinduced by a shock due to intense grief if the report is true that some of Carranza's cronies have located $5.nnn.000 worth of his loot. Henry A. Wise Wood of New York, one of the extreme preparedness en thusiasts among the laymen of the country, seems to have scord a bull's eye In a recent address when he as serted: "It may be said with accuracy that we have no foreign policy at this moment." Germany's facilities for the manu facture of munitions of war appear to he inexhaustible. Not only is she equipped to meet the enormous de mands of her own army, but she has been able to supply Switzerland with a number of newly manufactured howitzers of fifteen centimeter cali ber. But maybe Germany is figuring that Switzerland might get into the war on the side of the Teutonic pow- Shoes. market reports declare, are going to be higher in price owing tu the shortage of leather, notes the De troit New?, and it adds: The shortage, possibly, is- caused by the area being shown in women's present styles of WANTED Mvll.1,1 l FARM TiABOR This is the time of year when work on the farm Is plentiful but workers are scarce, says The Kansas Indus trialist. As spring opens up. work is usually available in the cities and the itinerants who make up most of the farm laborers of the country drift to the large centers, where conditions are niore to their taste. This means that much of the spring work some of tbe most important work of the -entire year must be done by the far mer and his family. Often they have not time to do it as well as it should be done, and this is undoubtedly one important reason that better prepar ation is not made for planting. Few modern businesses except farming could exist at all under such a system. Nor can the business of farming reach its highest point under these circum stances. What is needed is a system of agriculture that will distribute the farm labor throughout the year and make it possible to develop skilled la bor in this as in other fields of industry. HISTORY MAKING. History is making very fast these days1. More things have happend polit ically in the last few weeks than have been crowded into many months be fore. The pitiful policies of the Wil son administration are bearing bitter fruit. The vacillating views of the president, following rapidly changing conditions, are deplorable. The nation is not humbled, but humiliated. A few weeks ago the attitude of public men today would have seemed almost inconceivable. President Wilson is not getting any where. A man of high ideals, of won derful historical knowledge, meanHig well and of great academic ability, he has fluked in attempting to solve practical political problems to an ex tent which is today arousing the na tion to the fact that we need a real leader, a man of power and prestige, who has proven the confidence hereto fore placed In him. Wilson is patriot ic, but he is also pathetic. The remarkable turning during the last few weeks, even days, toward Theodore Roosevelt, is amazing, and ye after aH, It is natural it is logi cal. At the commencement of his term, the Wilson administration was so thoroughly Bryanized, and inoculated with the pacific policies of the late secretary of state, that It has seemed impossible for President Wilson to get the virus out of his political system- Its effects were far reaching. Up to two years ago. President Wilson was apparently in sympathy with the anti preparedness program of the leading member of his cabinet. Theodore Roosevelt warned the administration of its weakness. Finally, the president attempted to stand on a platform of preparedness, but with a program so vague and which so failed to meet the views of his Secretary of War Garrison, one of the strong members of the cabinet, that he resigned. A few weeks ago this country did not dream that it was unprepared to protect its own people on the Mexican border. In the last few weeks It has been astounded to see that a Mexican highwayman could raid an American city, murder Its citizens and disap pear quickly and remain uncaptured and unpunished. Wilson had no facilities for moving troops after Villa. Motor trucks must first be dispatched from Detroit; mu nitions must be sent from eastern fac tories; rations must be dispatched from St. Louis by passenger trains. We permitted our people to ship powder and ball and guns to Villa. A natural bandit, Wilson attempted to negotiate with him. The part of Car ranza was taken. When we go down into that country to help Carranza crush his great enemy Villa, Carranza denies us the use of trains to trans port men and munitions! President Wilson temporizes! Now Carranza has ordered the United States to take its soldiers out of Mexico. Isn't it a state of unpreparedness and amaze ment When Dewey was ordered In 189 S to capture or destroy the Spanish fleet, did he wait for powder? He was prepared, and who prepared him? Theodore Roosevelt,' Assistant Secre tary of the- Navy, who months before dispatched the necessary munitions for an emergency. It has been a year since the Dusi tania was sunk, with the dreadful drownings of Americans. Months ago a Wilson victory of diplomacy was her alded, yet today there appears as much danger of strained relations with Germany as there was twelve months ago. It wa3 President Wilson, who sent our navy and American lives to com pel President Huerta to salute the flag. It was not saluted. It was President Wilson, who warned Ameri cans from Mexico, but did not warn them from the ships of belligerent nations. Theodore Roosevelt is today the safest, sanest man who can handle the great questions of national honor which have been propounded unan swered to the present administration. This leads to the growing impression of this paper that Roosevelt will be nominated at Chicago by the Repub licans, and that he will be elected in November and be our next president Five or six months ago, the State Journal felt convinced that Justice Hughes was the logical man to lead the opposition to President Wilson. In November, it was a question of get ting the two factions of the Republi can party together again; or. if you prefer it, the two parties. Republicans and Progressives, Into one. Hughes was generally acceptable to all the Re publicans, regular and recalcitrant. A strong, high minded, capable man like Hughes was needed. It appeared that he did not want the office; that his ambition was gratified by the service he had given on the supreme bench. U was evident that, if the nomination were given him, it must be practically by acclamation, to one who was not a candidate. Conditions have changed lately, even within the last few weeks. No longer is needed a man to bring the factions together; they are getting together. The old issues of 1912 are forgotten. The initiative and referendum and the recall are not discussed today; neither is prohibition as a national platform plank vitally discussed at this time, nor suffrage, nor child labor, and yet they are all good things for good men and good parties to stand for. The issue is being sharply defined now, Indeed, there is but one issue today: Protection. Not the mere protection of which the reader may at first think, but protection for the American Nation, protection for America's honor, protection for Amer ica's respect, protection for America's proud position among the nations, protection for our people and our re public, the protection which is a syn onym for preparedness; protection also, but secondarily, for our indus -tries; for the American workmen who must be kept far above the plane of the European laborer, who must be given what he richly deserves, full credit for his work, full enjoyment for the opportunities and the recreations to which he as an American citizen is entitled. Who was it brave enough to de clare, when there was a brewing mur mur of hyphenated Americans serv ing first the country from which they came, instead of the country to which they had hopefully come, and to which they had ascribed allegiance? It was Roosevelt, of German lineage, who had the courage to put the hyphen out of our citizenship; to announce the doctrine .of America first, last and all the time. It was Roosevelt, the friend of the kaiser, who did not hesitate to de nounce Germany when she broke her treaty with this country by ruthlessly invading Belgium. President Wilson to this day, has not protested against that crime against humanity, and our protest would not have meant war. Roosevelt declares it would not have meant war, in the preface to Sprague's wonderful little book, called "Made in Germany." When a man breaks a -contract with us, when he declares his written agreement Is but a scrap of paper, we do not necessarily go out and knock him down, or shoot him, but we cease doing business with him. He has betrayed our confidence. Who is the logical Republican can didate today for the presidency? It was Hughes last fall, it is Rooseveli today. Here are phases of the Hughes situation. He has not declared him self on the great issues of prepared ness. The candidate of the Republi can party who will create enthusiasm and tend to insure success must have a position well defined. We must an nounce it. Justice Hughes cannot de fine his attitude on political issues for he has said that he is not a candidate for the high, office. The moment he attempts to define his attitude on those issues, he would thereby be come a candidate. Think of this, too. There Is a widespread belief that Brandeis is not a safe man to be on a. I supreme bench. Whether he is or is not, such a feeling prevails and a I great man like Hughes can hold Brandeis level or can offset him. j Imagine if Justice Hughes decided to j resign to accept the presidential nom J ination tendered him even by accla Imation; the country would not only lose, at a critical period, a strong man, but Wilson would be given the opportunity of j appointing another Brandeis. It Is flippantly and thoughtlessly remarked that Roosevelt is a "mili tarist;" that he would plunge us into war; that he would be extravagant in the matter of preparedness. Nothing could be further from the actual situ ation as proven by Roosevelt's seven years in the White House, during which time we had no war, but during a time when it is said he averted it by shrewd diplomacy and practical statesmanship. A few days ago Roose velt said: "I am not for war. On the contrary, 1 abhor an unjust or a wanton war. and I would use every honorable expedient to avoid even a just war. Hut I fee! with all my heart that yon don't, in tbe long run, mud war by making other people believe that you are afraid to fight for your own rights." It was Roosevelt who brought about tie Peace cf Portsmouth, which ad justed the relations between Russia and Japan after a disastrous and de structive war. Someone asked the writer last night what would Roose velt have done in the Mexican situa tion, as confronted for years by Presi dent Wilson. The reply was made offhand: He would have commanded respect. The nomination and election of Roosevelt would at once restore re spect for this country. The word "gringo" would not be uttered in Mexico as a sneering term of derision. Germany and other nations would realize that President Roosevelt, with the sane and sensible, manly, states manlike qualifications he displayed when president, would again become dominant in this country. They would take heed. At the risk of being charged with a lack of dignity in treating this serious topic, this remark will be ventured: Roosevelt's bark is more dangerous than his bite. But his bark is effec tive and he can snap his teeth togeth er when a question of honor, national or personal; when deplorable child la bor conditions are to be corrected when overworked women are to be given relief and fair pay for services: when children are deprived of their period of recreation and education and growth, and when the sacred rights and functions of women are jeopardized by brutality or burdens. It is said that the Interests in the east are for Roosevelt. Well, if they are for him. it is because they believe they will get a square deal; because they know Roosevelt believes not in destroying big business but in controll ing it; and the people know that Roosevelt is not for the railroads and the corporations when they are wrong: neither is he for the people when they are wrong, but he is for tfoth when they are right. Roosevelt's demand for the regular army is for a less number than the army men ask for. It is said that the makers of muni tions are for Roosevelt because they think he would improve their, busi ness. What an unpatriotic view of manufacturers and of our greatest American! The State Journal holds no brief for Colonel Roosevelt's poli cies and performances, but Roosevelt's life has been largely an open book. He is a typical example of virile man hood, of a patriotic, able, forceful, ex perienced, practical statesman, versed in history, politics and economics. Knowing Roosevelt as we all know him, do we imagine for a moment that Roosevelt would not eay to these munition makers: "This country is not preparing for the purpose of lining your belly or your pocketbook. You make those munitions on a 5 per cent or 10 per cent or reasonable basis or the government will mak the muni tions' and you will make none of them." It is flippantly remarked that countries in Europe are going to at tack this country because they will be weakened and exhausted by the war. Possibly some country may be weak ened and exhausted, but do you re member that at the close of the civil war the United States, with a trained army on its hands, as the nations of Kurope will have at the close of their war, told France to remove from Mexico, and the Monroe Doctrine was exemplified? It was Roosevelt who recognized the Japanese as proud and worthy and progressive. It was his diplomacy that caused better treatment of the Japanese, who are naturally our friends and have been our friends since Perry went to Japan in the mid dle of the last century. None better holds the training, statesmanship and diplomacy and pre paredness to be president in these times fraught with history making pe riods than Colonel Theodore Roose velt and he has the faculty of drawing strong men to him, into his cabinet and confidences. He consults men of moment. Wilson's disposition is to retire in seclusion to work out his grave problems. It has been said that the delegates to Chicago cannot be turned to Roosevelt- Well, most of them are unin structed. The man who now has the largest number of delegates in structed in his favor is impossible; Fairbanks, of Indiana, a fine gentle man, but not up to present demands. Indiana itself admits this. Does the reader imagine with the changing political feeling that the del egates could go to Chicago and not be apprized of that change and act on It or be unable to look their constituents in the face? But things are happening. Popping is the word. The standpatter of last month is for Roosevelt today. In this community men can be named today who believe that Roosevelt is the man of the hour, and yet a few months ago, even week since, thought the last man in the world they would favor would be the colonel. njp The changing and crystallizing sentiment in this community must be lik3 the changes taking place in the minds of men elsewhere, who were for Taft, or Weeks, or Burton, -or Borah, or Cummins or other states men of worth. With Root and Roose velt together, it is not unlikely that V. H. T. and T. R. can assemble on preparedness and protection. The State Journal favored Taft four years ago, but it never lost Its admlr-i ation for Roosevelt. It regretted that he ran for the presidency in 1912, but he was and Is a man of courageous convictions. He believed that at that time he was warranted in throwing his hat into the ring. It was an error of judgment. We all err. It is human to make mistakes, but if we make them in the interests of humanity, they can be forgotten and forgiven. There were errors in the Republican convention in 191:!, questionable errors, that Is debatable ones, on the delegates. Roosevelt taught us to admire Taft. We admire him yet. If Root and Roosevelt can bury differences, it is not for less important men to ex pose any skeletons in their closets, in scary times like these. The time might come soon when this nation would be compelled to rally behind President Wilson, but it is hardly likely. But if it came Colonel Roose velt would be in line. Meanwhile let us think and think hard, forget some unimportant things and remember big things and a big future if we are worthy of it and them.

T'or April 16 is "Peter and Cornelius-" Acts 10:1-23. When a Man Ixst His Prejudices. A proud Roman and a prouder Jew one day lost their historic prejudices and became not only tolerant of what was on the other side of the high wail which divided them from other peo ple, but they actually crossed the wall themselves. This lesson tells the story. Crowded with incident, it re veals an angel talking to a heathen; a pork-abhoring Jew who learned that all meats are clean; and a strict fol lower of the law of Moses visiting in the home of a Gentile Roman, and telling him a story that brought a sec ond Pentecost. Such a great experience is well worth studying, especially when the blasts of war are breaking down old aversions and divisions and prejudices and at the same time creating new ones. Never was a lesson upon tol erance and brotherliness timelier than now. The Christian church has not always been tolerant of tolerance. It is only of recent years that we have understood the Christian virtue of bearing with another's beliefs which are different from ours. Now our horizons have been pushed out, and we know that we "are all members one of another" and we sing: "For-the love of God is broader Than the measure of man's mind; And the heart of the Eternal Is most wonderfully kind" If we want another "Pentecost like unto the Gentiles" as the old church fathers called the experience In the house of Cornelius, it will come only after a fresh awakening to the trutn that God has present-day messages for us; and after a new vision of the in clusiveness of the Gospel. The present popularity of the preaching of the Gospel for all the world may have consequences that will extend far beyond our conven tional understanding of a foreign mission revival. Our petty regulations and codes and insularities and preju dices will have to give way to a broad er understanding of the world of God. A seeking Soldier. Travel, observation, reading and maturity of thought all play havoc with petty prejudices. There is no class or calling or race or nation that a wise man is willing to condemn. It will go hard with some students of this lesson, so strong is a certain an tipathy to militarism, to realize that God sent his angel to a soldier. Cap tain Cornelius was a military man, stationed at Caesarea, a town on the Mediterranean coast some thirty miles above Joppa. His duties were alto gether those of a soldier, and out wardly his life was controlled by the profession of-arms. Withal, beneath his breastplate he concealed a heart hungry for God. Spirituality belongs to no sect or group or condition of mankind Our contract with Corne lius should teach us that Godliness is a universal aspiration. This seeking soldier did more than aspire. He prayed and he served. Both his charities and his prayers came up before God; for to such a soul God would not deny himself. He followed the light he had and it Is to be re called that althouch reared amonur Raman polytheism, Cornelius believed in one God, and so was given more light. To him an angel appeared and bade him go to Joppa for Peter- Little as it niay accord with our notions of a Roman centurion, this soldier was of the sort to whom angels aopear, and he could look unabashed into the face of a heavenly visitant. A Jew Who Broke Caste. Nobody discards ancient prejudices or convictions in a minute. Peter had been slowly prepared for what was coming to him. Pentecost had broad ened his horizon, so that at Joppa he sojourned with a tanner, whose call ing was proscribed to the Jew. The naturalness of the vision that came to Peter is apparent. He was hungry. He went to the common oriental lounging place, the housetop, to wait until dinner should be ready. There he fell into a trance and had a vision of food a great sheet let down from heaven containing all manner of beasts and reptiles and birds. A voice bade him "Rise Peter, kill and eat." As man is prone to do, Peter remon strated with God; for "I have never yet eaten anything unholy or impure.' Foolish braggart, hurling his Phari saical righteousness into the teeth of God. The voice answered again, "What God has purified you must not regard as unholy." Three times this was said, and then the vision was withdrawn. A twentieth century fault was that of Peter s. He was over-fastidious. We are in danger of being refined Into inefficiency. The church is so inter ested nowadays in her grammar and in her manners that she is alienated from the toiling, dusty, sweaty crowd. That, if anything, is proved by Billy Sunday's successes. It Is less impor tant that the church be correct in her outward forms than that she be close to people. Clearly, though, our day is learning the lesson that the program of God is broader than the prescriptions or our creeds, and books of church gov ernment. We find non-Episcopalians in Episcopal pulpits; unimmersed Christians at Baptist communion tables; and women in Presbyterian pulpits: and Unitarian hymns in orthodox hymnals. On the whole, our time is learning with Peter the lesson of tolerance. Coincidences That Are Providences. A certain man was accustomed to pray, "O Lord, prepare me for what thou are preparing for me." God works both upon the field and the force. It exalts our thinking to recall i the universality and the immanence of an all-knowing God. who makes ready the man for the work and the work for the man. He speaks at one and the same time to Cornelius and to Peter. Cornelius's messengers were wel comed by Peter. He went with them the next day. He took a chance of being unconventional. He dared to be different. To him it had been taught that the open-minded teacher was per haps being prepared for an open minded seeker. God had been busy both in Caesarea and Joppa that day. Most coincidences are providences. Usually we do not see the meaning of events until afterwards. We are con fident that history will reveal why America has been set apart in c unique place during this world turmoil. It is in no particular allusion to ourselves but to all the peoples of earth that we say with the poet: "Still behind the dim unknown. Standeth God within the shadow, ReepiT!g: watch above his own." A Task Too Big for Angels. Someone asks "Why didn't the an gels tell Cornelius ufrhat he needed to know?" Ah. that task is too big for an angel. The story has never been told by them. The Good News oust be man borne. Only redeemed men and women can carry the Tidings. The Gospel travels only on human feet and by human lips. The world will never be saved by angels. That highest of, all honors is reserved in tribute to hu man personality. Peter could do more for Cornelius than the angel could. As the late Dr. Arthur T. Pierson once said. "How ever poor a preacher, I can preach the Gospel better than Gabriel can. be cause Gabriel cannot say what I can BJQr, I am a sinner saved by grace.' In the Roman Soldier's House. After little more than a day's ,our j ney Peter reached Caesarea. A long journey, you say".' No. At this very day men are traveling far to serve fellow man's spiritual needs, or to seek an answer to their perplexities. ""i:y will cross continents to hear certain preachers and teachers in hope of spiritual rest. There is no considera tion impelling to travel like that o? spiritual unrest. Suppose we give right of way to spiritual concerns, re membering the tragedy of the men who are too busy to cultivate their own souls; "too busy"' to fellowship with their families; "too busy" to serve the kingdom of God. Peter was busy; hut he had time to make this long journey for the sake of an ln ouirintr Roman. What barriers religion levels! Proud- Cornelius threw himself, at Peters feet. He was quickly raised again, with the remark, "I am but a man. God has taught me to call no one un holy or unclean." Gone was the an cient Jewish sense of superiority. Within the house of the soldier Peter found a large company, com prising the relatives and friends of the host. So to them he preached the old, old story and lo, the Holy Spirit fell on all who were listening to the Mes sage, to the amazement of Peter s Jewish companions. Once more the great Apostle showed his greatness and his grace: for he did not balk at the final step of baptism. No "proselyte of the Gate." or outer-court converts for the new Church. Those upon whom the Spirit had come were baptized and made members of the Christian com munity. Criticism followed, but Peter had followed the Light. The Spirit had borne witness and there was no gainsaying that testimony. So was passed a crisis in Christian his tory, and the Church learned for all time that in Christ Jesus there is neither Jew nor Gentile, bond or free. Piety, Plus Plans. Terse Comments on the Uniform Prayer Meeting Topic of the Young People's Societies Christian En deavor, etc. for April 16: "Good Prayer Meetings, and How to Have Them Always." Acts, 12:1-17. Tens of thousands of prayer meet ings are held every week by young people's societies in all parts of the land. These are a tremendous educa tional and inspirational force. Poli ticians and publicists know little about them. They shape ideals and charac ters. They promote social and Chris tian solidarity. In them young people learn how to work and to speak and to pray. These weekly meetings of the young people's societies are a real force in the nation s life. Now, good meetings do not "hap pen." They are the effect of causes. And these causes are not mysterious and unaiscoverable. The laws of a good prayer meeting are simple and easily ascertainable. Find out what makes meetings successful, and then comply with the conditions. It takes interested people to make an interesting meeting. Often people pray and speak at prayer meeting as if there were merit in having only "two or three" pres ent. The New Testament prayer meeting that brought down the tire was a gathering of the whole church. That meeting on which the present topic is based was with a large com pany of people assembled. A proper step toward better meetings is to make them larger. The greater the number of sticks, the brighter the fire. Prayer .meetings, like some pumps, need to be "started" by pouring in wa ter. Put ideas into a meeting and power may be taken. A good prayer meeting Is one that does good. It makes people better. Hearts are warmed and mellowed, sympathies are stirred and new as pirations after righteousness are quickened. Difes real values are seen more clearly in the light of a devo tional service. Eternal goals are ac cepted as the only worthy ones. Dove j and truth and duty shine supreme in i a gathering about the altar of prayer. I Faith is fortified, piety is purified and hope is glorified by the fellowship of Christians in a service of worship and communion. It Is passing strange that so few prayer meetings are seriously planned. As a rule, the leader's preparation is confined to his own remarks, instead of to the conduct of the meeting. Methods for maintaining meetings, with diversity and interest, are really subject may be obtained from denomi- national book stores, and from the United Society of Christian Edeavor- i ers, Boston. A world of experience has been crowded between covers. Why not utilize it? Whatever is worth doing la worth planning to do well. Above all other requisites for a good prayer meeting is prayer. Clever speeches cannot make a good meet ing. Nor fine music. Nor yet a va riety of forms of participation. Before all and under all and above all there must be prayer sincere, continued. j repeated prayer. It Is possible to have j great prayer meetings without fine j speeches or music, so long as there is the earnest piayer of devoted i hearts. Every periodical prayer meet ing would be the better for devoting an occasional session exclusively to prayer prayers spoken and prayers sung; concert prajers and sentence prayers; prayers from Scripture and prayers from the ancient liturgies of the church. "With prayer, or not at all," is a motto of the Laymen's Move ment. Prayer and pains, through faith in Jesus Christ, can accomplish anything. John Eliot. Most prayer meetings have a sub ject, but not all have an object. The prayers that opened Peter's prison doors sought somethtng definitely. Reverence, always reverence, and yet more reverence, should mark prayer meetings. Use should not dull the edge of solemnity, and awe. "Holy and reverend is His name" who per mits us to dare tu approach his pres ence with petitions. A prayer meeting locks backward in praise, forward In hope and around In brotherhood. Amos B. Wells. The Evening Story Tom and Dick Drink Tea. (By Isabel Dee.) "There, I have actually pulled ten more white hairs out this morning. I shall be quite grayhaired soon, I'm sure." Toms wife sat before her dressing table putting the finishing touches to her afternoon toilet. She looked, with an expression of wifely martyrdom at Dick's fiancee, who had called to in duce her to go shopping. "Dittle do you know how worried I am," .Tom's wife sighed pathetically, adjusted her toque at a saucy angle, and then arranging the cobweb veil. "But I won't bother you with my trou bles. You have so much to be happy about and so many plans to make tor the wedding." Dick's fiancee bit her pretty lips and looked out of the closely cur tained window of the bedroom. 'I'm not at all sure there is going to be any weddine she said. Fnr th moment Tom's wifn CammI I the white hairs that still lay on her dressing table, a monument to her troubles. Of course, she wanted Dick's fiancee to tell her all about it, but the confidence did not eeem to be forth coming. "I don't even know whether to go down to shop or not." added the younger woman. "What's the use cf getting the things when I don't know whether I shall want them the wed ding veil and white satin and the rest? But don't talk about poor little me. I'd so much rather know why you are worrying. I thought your Tom was an angel, just as I did think Dick was, until a few days ago. How can you be worried when he is so domes tic he doesn't even go to a club." Tom's wife laughed softly, and then she began at the beginning of her story- "First, It was the teacup," she said. "It is almost too absurd to re member, but it made me begin to won der. That was a few weeks ago. No it was even before that, it was the morning no asKeci mo Tor a lemon. It Whm at hrpakfat anrl 1 ra -t it n hi.., and I did not ihlnk it was funny then that he should want to carry a lemon down to the office in his overcoat pocket. Still, I was so sure of him: And the next evening he had the mys terious little package when he came home. He said nothing about it, so when he wasn't looking I found out. Wives have to do those things, my dear. It was a horrid, sticky teacup, with one of those dreadful spoons you get at the ten cent r-tore. Some time when I wasn't looking he washed it and the next morning he started out with the same little package aair "Well, the next night it happened again such a horrid old cup! That time he gave it to Bridget to wash, lor she told me so, faithful creature that she is. That kept on for several days. And then one day I really wasn't exactly suspicious even then 1 asked him outright what It was all about. "You know how it has been with Tom and me. He never tells me his business troubles and I never bother him with household matters but still we have never, never before kept things from each other. 'Well, you have caught me, snook ems, haven't you Those were the very words he used and then he laughed a little, rather sheepishly, and tried to kiss me. I didn't want to tell you at first,' he said. 'I thought you'd make a fuss about it. But that new English secretary At this point Dick's fiancee reached for the smelling bottle That stood on the dressing table and pressed the stopper to her dainty little nose but Tom's wife went on. "That new English secretary and that was the first time that I had even heard of the creature he said had to have tea. They all do in London, he said. 'You've never had tea with me. I said. 'I've often wanted you to drop in my "at homes" and you wouldn't and now for this brazen English sec retary of yours, of whom I have never even heard, you start in with this ridi culous practice. But why make a fool of yourself by bringing the cups home '1 Why aren't they washed at the of fice 'That's where the joke comes in.' i he said laughing men can laugh even at the most tragic moments. '1 thought J of getting Miss Stebbins to wash them.' j Miss Stebbins is his stenographer and a plainer, old creature I never saw. I wouldn't be jealous of her if she were the last woman in the world. 'We thought of getting Miss Stebbins to do it and we said something to her about it, but she rebelled. 'Just because I am a woman. I suppose you think 1 must do the drudgery. I never washed a dish In my life. If you want a servant you j should have hired one and not a sten- 1 ographer.' 'And,' said my husband, t 'Miss Stebbins is a very valuable wo- j man and I didn't want to make her mad. So the only thing to do is to i bring the tea things home to wash.' 'I am sure I don't at all blame Miss Stebbins,' I said. 'I don't see why she should have to wash up after that tea drinking English secretary of yours, and I am sure I won't, and Bridget won't, either. Hereafter you may wash wour own teacup. 'Youdid perfectly right." said Dick's fiancee, and then. after another pause. "I know all about it. r found Dick carrying not only one. but two, cups home at night his and the sec retary's. He even brought them around to wash, and then he told me. just mm Tom did you, about the creature. Only he wouldn't say much and T said less. I didn't want him to tell you that I was jealous and it is not really that. Only, of course, if that is the kind of man Dick i if he is the sort who stoops to office flirtations like that and can afford to spend a half hour or so sipping tea with some brazen Eng lish woman I :im quite glad I found out In time." "Have you seen her?" Inquired Tom's wife, patting away an imagin ary tear through the meshes of her. veil. "Heavens, no, and I don't want to. Of course, she is a till, willowy. 1 blonde. English women so often are." The idea seemed to occur to them both at once of stealing unexpectedly into the office when Tom and Dick held their tea orgies every afternoon. And in less than half an hour the two i women had started downtown with all the intense excitement of a real ad- j venture. "It isn't as if we were doing any- I thing underhanded," assured Tom's wife. "For I am sure any wife has a right to call at her husband's office, j Do yon suppose thy sent way to Don don for her? I don't see why they couldn't have get some honest, deserv ing American girl who would have been quite satisfactory." They had reached the office and J Tom's wife went in first. Tom and j Dick were both in. and showed no end i of pleasure at the visit. They took! I them right into Tom's big, roomy of fice. "Stick around for a half hour more," Tom said, "and you can have tea with us. It's a great institution, isn't it. Dick? Both Tom's wife and Dick's fiancee smiled coldly. But it was part of their plot to stay. They peered around every curve and listened for every sound, expecting to see the willowy blonde appear. But the only petti coats they saw were worn by the sour faced Miss Stebbins, who sat pounding away relentlessly at her typewriter. "Maybe we can get the ladies to wash up the dishes," suggested Tom. "It's such a nuisance to have to cart them home with us." Tom's wife had her cue and. while Dick's fiancee fairly trembled at what she felt was bound to follow, she be gan: It seems to me that the English secretary had better no the dishwash ing, since it was the English secre tary's idea to have tea." Tom and Dick began to laugh. "That's a jrood one," said Tom. and then, at his summons, a tall, fine-looking, middle-aged, well-tailored, man appeared. "The wife says you ought to wash the dishes," Tom repeated with a laugh, and then he introduced them all. You see it was Mr. Harry Harri son, the new London secretary of the company, whom Tom and Dick wanted f avorabl y to im press and not t hat mythical, willowy blonde at all.

"Better tell us where you are hiding!" "I'm not hiding." laughed the Johnny-jump-up. "I'm living right here under the edge of the leaves." Then bow those three folks did look. And sure enough!

"You're joking," said -lack Frost, sternly. "Why don't you have a longer stem?" asked the sparrow curiously. "And trhy do you bloom so early? questioned tbe east wind.

Advertisement. Washington. April 4. The report has spread through underground of ficial channels here that the United States is passively favorable to the Felix Diaz revolution against General 'arranssa. No agency of this government, i' was said, has taken official cognizance of the statement by W. K. D. Stokes tf New York. published Wednesday that he is the representative in the I'nited States of General Diaz. At the state department it was declared any action wouio navv m taken by the department of jus tice. At the latter department it was said it would act only if someone should attempt to fit out a military expedition in this country or if an effort should be made to ship arms and ammunition into Mexico for revolutionary purposes. 'We cannot interfere with the financing of such movements." it was said at the department of justice. "As much money may be furnished Diaz .is he needs by Americans or his other representatives in the United States. How He Gets Munitions. Tt was stated General Diaz prob ably received his munitions of war through Guatemala and that ship ments to be made to him in the future would likely be landed in that coun try, which adjoins the state of Chi apas, in which he fe operating. The I'nited States, it was said, has not in terfered with any shipments of war supplies to Guatemala and will not in terfere unless it should be proved that such shipment was a subterfuge and that the arms and ammunition were destined to support a revolutionary undertaking. There is a feeling at the department of justice, said to have been inspired by an intimation from the state de partment, that this government is "passively sympathetic" toward the Diaz revolution and this sentiment was explained on the ground that this government fears General Carranza may not he able to pacify his country because of the hostility of the church element and of the landed proprietors. They are said to he giving their sup port to General Diaz.

London, April 14. The imperial German government's order to all German hotel and restaurant keepers, that they must reduce the size of the meals they serve, both as to variety and quantity, will be effective throughout Germany beginning with breakfast tomorrow morning. The bills of fare will be reduced to the smallest proportions on record and guests will not be permitted to eat more than one item from any single course and not very much of that. The butter supply, for instance, now is restricted to one-eighth of a pound per person per week. Mighty litti-e sugar is given. Other food supplies are held to corresponding proportions. Germany is racing toward famine which has been foreseen since last summer by those who knew the truth about the summer harvest, according to Francis Gribble, the British novelist who has just returned to London after a year in the German internment camp at Ruhleben, near Berlin. "There is no avoiding the conclu sion, said Gribble today, "that the state of the German people soon will be much what the state of the Belgian people now would be but for Ameri can philanthropists. "The date at which the catastrophe will occur depends upon a good many uncertain factors; but it cannot be long delayed. "The 1915 summer harvest, what there was of it, was both sown and reaped while I was behind the barbed wires at Ruhleben. There was prac tically no rain from the end of March until the beginning of July."

The command Sig officer was asked how long it oiild take to arrange his men for Bottle in event of a sudden attack. He my wi red by raising a whistle to his ftps and remarking: "Watch, time us by seconds." There was a shrill whistle and the eamp was transformed instantly into tushing life. Ready in l Seconds, lien ran at top speed to stacked rifle.-. There was a scrambling for artridge belt.-. A bugler appeared aeside the captain from nowhere in particular. For a time there seemed to be only aimless rushing to different sections of the camp. But all at once tlv Midlers settled into rifle pits and hallow trenches. Some of the men Bare shoeless and hatless. But all trere ready for business. It may take lting to tell it. hut the whole thing lasted only forty seconds. At the end of that time every man was in his Appointed place, peering over a para ,ct of dirt with rifle ready. I The captain explained how each Baa's pit was arranged so that he could cover the largest possible range of territory without exposing himself. ?he khaki uniforms blended so well ayith the surrounding dirt that men could scarcely be seen 100 feet away. The individual rifle pits were about fight feet long and 18 inches deep and the dough boys lay prone In them. At each end of the string of sirgle pits was a dirt barricade high as a man's tvhoulder and six feet thick. so an fcnfilade fire could be silenced. Near Hie front line of pits was a circular Bole, about six feet deep and large nough to hold 40 men.

Name Address as the bread is concerned by the field bakery at the big army base near i Casas Grandes. Of course, the bakers is not multiplying three loaves into I enough to feed an army of 6,000, but I it is turned out 5,400 rations of brea.1 i every 24 hours. The bake ovens are built of mud i and brick and look as though tliey I might have been transported from some spot in Israel when miracles are every day occurrences. If you I don't think its a miracle to produce 5. 400 loaves of bread daily in this part j of the world, you don't know how far I it is from the border- Ft. Riley Bakers. Twenty-two bakers, trained in the i army bakery school at Fort Riley, are i on duty at the two giant ovens which supply the expedition with its daily bread. An officer is in charge of the broad makers. A quartermaster ser geant who supervises the mixing of the dough and the baking, told hov.' the work is done. '"F.aeh oven." he said, "will hold about 75 loaves of bread making 15o loaves at each run. After being placed in the ovens, it takes from one hour to 90 minutes for the bread to bake. We figure on turning out about 3,000 loaves every 24 hours, or enough to supply 5,400 men with the regulation bread ration daily. The bakers work eight-hour shifts and the ovens are going night and day. It's probably the biggest baking Job under actual field service conditions that the army has had on Its hands for 15 years." Flour is being purchased from an antiquated mill conducted by resi i dents of Colonia Dublan. Thus far I there has been only one criticism rrf j its quality. It's too "fresh." the bak j ers say. Its percentage of starch is too high in comparison to the per centage of gluten. But it makes very I good bread, notwithstanding, as any number of hungry "dough boys" and cavalrymen will bear witness. Great slices of it, smeared with gravy, dis appear into hungry mouths thre? 1 times a day in unbelievable quantities. Ovens Interestlnjc. The ovens themselves are probably more interesting than the victuals they produce. Army bakers are taught not only to bake bread, but to build ovens. They built the pair at the field base. Their materials were mud and brick With the mud. "adobes" were t.ade and set up as a square base for the superstructure of brick. This upper hah" was arched in the form of a ca thedral dome. The floor of the oven upon which the bread rests is of brick. Over the brick dome is smeared wet mud to a depth of four inches, so very crevice is completely filled. The I two ovens, sitting side by side, loom ui iike giant beehives. The bakery is situated far enough i-from the main camp to prevent dust raised by passing cavalry horses from tainting the dough. The yard of the Tancho" in which it is set up was rented from a Mexican farmer for j $15 a month. Then the farmer and several of his friends hired out to the army at two silver pesos a day as wood cutters. They supply the ovens with fuel. I In the front yard of the "hacien dita" stands a weather beaten remind er of the old days, when all was peace ful in the beautiful valley of Casas Grandes. It is a small organ, like those that used to be found in little j New Kngland churches a generation ago. The gilt letters on tne lace anu i be keyboard, once bright and shiny, are grimy with dust. The five stop keys are cracked. On the corner of the instrument is a dark atain, that even the dust and dirt doesn't hide. When the old Mexican who owns the place was asked what it was. he I shrugged his shoulders eloquently and jsaid: "Blood." ARMY MUST STICK! Texas Congressman Springs Sensation by Demanding Villa's Capture. Washington, April 14. Representa tive McLemore of Texas, whose reso lution to warn Americans off bellig- erent ships raised one of the liveliest I rows of the present congresB, intro i duced a resolution declaring "The American military forces must not for any reason be withdrawn from Mex ico until Francisco Villa has been killed, captured or forced into exile." The resolution was referred to the foreign affairs committee. Special Agent Rodgers, at Mexico City, telegraphed today that "a few people" were killed on both sides in the fighting Wednesday at Parral. He I mentioned no numbers. Pass TACKS ONSTREET Oakland Service May Be Trip pled uhy Punctures." Unknown Persons Interfere With Street Railway Busses Several attempts have been made recently to minimize if not to destroy the Topeka Railway company's emerg ency bus service between the Santa Ke depot and Lake Street, where transfer is made to the street cars. During the last few days tires on the busses have picked up a consid erable number of bright new tacks, which have been distributed along the pavement on Kast Kourth street. Offi cers of the railway company have no doubt that the tacks were spread for the sole "benefit" of the emergency service, which was installed several months ago, following condemnation of the East Sixth street viaduct by engineers of the railway company, as an accommodation to patrons living in Oakland. Last night the bus service was in terrupted three times in an hour and a half, because of punctured tires, and in each case the railway's repair men plucked new tacks from the tires. Albert M. Patten, general manager of the Topeka Railway company, said this afternoon: "These emergency busses have been operated solely for accommodation of the akland people, and are main tained at a dead loss to the street railway, and if the practice of spread ing tacks is to be continued, it means that we will simply be compelled to discontinue the busses, causing the traffic to pass over the railway tracks under the Sixth street viaduct, until the viaduct is completed. This, I think, will be about the middle of May. We do not for one moment be lieve that any resident of Oakland has been distributing tacks for the bene fit of the company." Mr. Patten added that he has some idea of the identity of those responsi ble for the distribution of the tacks, and if the stunt is repeated, arrests will probably follow. CIRCUS DAY IS HERE Btngliiijr's Mammoth Aggregation Will Parade at Six O'clock. With a real steam calliope playing "Alabama Jubilee," a clown band of fifty, the Second Infantry band ami two hundred performers the Bingling's circus of the Central Y. M. C.

NEW STYLE CATALOGUE Washburn's New Departure in the Matter of Advertising. Instead of the dry college catalogue with which Kansas high school grad uates are besieged annually, Washburn college will send an illustrated bulle tin portraying all the joys of college life in Topeka. Beyond a brief resume of the curriculum of the college there is not a word about studies In the bul letin. Instead, the beauties of the campus, the advantages of school in Topeka, the organizations of the school, the athletics, the artistic and musical opportunities, the accommo dations, the "frats," "sororities," clubs and the social life and good times of the school are pictured and described. Among the illustrations are pictures of Washburn scoring on K. S. A. C, the May day festivals, picnics, football rallies, even chastening a trembling neophyte in a "frat house." George Fitch's stories of college life have nothing on the bulletin. If it be re quested the bulletin is followed up with a regulation catalogue.

DINNER STORIES. "Bobbie," said Uncle John, "how many are two times three?" "Five," answered the boy promptly. "No. Bobby, you are mistaken. Two times three are six." '"Tain't neither." protested Bobby. "Two times three are five, and if you'll come down to the corner with me I'll prove it to you." And taking his uncle by the hand he led him to the corner and pointed triumphantly to a sign on a fruit stand: "Apples, 3 cents each. Two for 5." OEAIH UOHMBULS PETER J.

Collection of Etdiings Is Receiving Attention From Topeka Citizens. The exhibit of etchings and graphic art at the high school under the au spices of the Topeka Federation of Women for the benefit of the Lincoln statue fund has received many visits from Topeka people interested in things artistic. The exhibit is the first one of the kind that has ever come to the city. Some of the finest work of modern European and American artists are shown in the exhibit and the etchings are all good impressions There are fifty-four pictures in the exhibit. Conspicuous among the display is a lithograph by Albert Sterner, simple, and full of pathetic beauty. Anders Zorn, probably the best known living etcher, is represented by his lightful little "The Hair Ribbon." A bizarre effect in color is the drawing "The Dance" by C. Raymond Johnson, an American artist. Probably the most valuable works in the exhibit are two Whistler etch ings and one of Millet's. Eleven fine impressions of the work of Joseph Pennell, whose etchings of the Pan ama canal were purchased for a large sum by congress, are also in the ex hibit. Other notable things are "The Steps" by Childe Hassam, a happy little study of summer light; and four recent lithographs by Birger Sandzen.

JQ REPORT SOON Light and Street Car Corpora tions Write to City Hall. Porter Says He'll Stir Up Things at Commission. Officiallv. the attention of the city commissioners was called today to the fact that neither the Topeka Street I railway nor the Edison Illuminating company has made a report to the city las to their financial condition ana earnings for the last two years, when Commissioner Wasson introduced and had read a letter from A. M. Patten, asking the city kindly to grant them j more time in which to make their re port. Neither of these two corpora- tions has. within the last two years, made such report to the city or has been requested to do so officially, al i though Commissioner Wasson says he j has made verbal requests three times for such reports. In the letter from Patten he makes the statement that "their auditor has been unavoidably detained in the east but expects to be in Topeka next Mon day when the matter will be attended to promptly." Why has not this matter been at tended to before?" was asked Com missioner Porter. "Frankly, I don't know," he replied. "Wasson. is sup posed to have attended to that affair as it is in his department. I have given it no attention." "Don't you think it the duty of the entire commission when they know that such conditions exist, even if it Is out of their department, to protect the interests of the people by making it known in some manner?" he was asked. Commission's Business. "Certainly I do. for the oath we took when we assumed our offices states that we are to do this very thing, and I will say this: If Wasson doesn't get busy and attend to his department, and not be passing the buck so that it reflects on the balance of the body I. personally, will see that something is stirring up here." In 1914, the city received from the Electric company the sum of Jl, 190.33 as their payment for the 10 per cent clause under which their fran chise was granted. In this franchise the provision is made that the city "is to receive 10 per cent of the annual net earnings over and above 10 per cent earned by said company upon the actual cash value of its Investment at the date of each report." Patten's Letter. The letter from Patten follows: u or u 191,i Mr. w. H. Wasson. Commissioner of Fi nance City of Topeka.

With two pitiful cases demanding assistance the Crittenton home is put- i ting out a plea for financial assist ance. "A very pathetic appeal is before us now to care for one in dire need," Mrs. j S. L. Wilson said today. "We dare j not turn any one away, for besides the home there is no place for them to j turn. And we can only care for them as funds are given for the work.

BEGIN ON SALTS AT FIRST SIGN Washington. April 14. President Wilson Thursday night delivered the principal address at the Jefferson day banquet of the Common Counsel club. His words were interpreted to mean that he is contemplating the. with drawal of the American forces from Mexico. He also asked the country if it is ready to enter the world trou bles in the interest of humanity. He said: "Are you ready for the test? God forbid that we should become cm broiled in quarrels not of our own choosing. But if we should ever be drawn in, are you ready to go in. only where the interests of America, are coincident with the interests of mankind as well? And are you ready to draw out when the interests narrow down "Have you courage to go in? Have you courage to come out according as the balances are re-adjusted for the interests of humanity?

These Solemn Days. "These are days that search men's hearts, discredit selfish speech; these are solemn days when all moral stan dards cf mankind are about to be tried out, and responsibility is ours to say whether America, under our leader ship, shall hold the balances even." The president was the last speaker on the program. He was preceded by Senator Hollis, of New Hampshir. who told of "what the administration had done for the farmer." .Representative Glass, of Virginia, chairman of the house committee or: banking and currency and one of the authors of the federal reserve act, spoke on "What The Administrati.:i Has Done for Business Men" and Sen I ator Walsh, of Montana, on "Three Years of the New Freedom-" FIVE PLEAD GUILTY Four Are Given Penitentiary Terms by Judge John C. Pollock. If you are accustomed to wake up with a coated tongue, foul breath or a dull, dizzy headache; or. if your meals sour and turn into gas and acids, you have a real surprise awaiting you. To-morrow morning, immediately upon arising, drink a glass of hot wa ter with a teaspoon of limestone phos phate, in it. This is intended to first neutralize and then wash out of your stomach, liver, kidneys and thirty feet of intestines all the indigestible waste, poisons, sour bile and toxins, thus cleansing, sweetening and purifying the entire alimentary canal. Those subject to sick headaches, backache, bilious attacks, constipation or any form of stomach trouble, are urged to get a quarter pound of lime stone phosphate from the drug store and begin enjoying this morning inside-bath. It is said that men and women who try this become enthu siastic and keep it up daily. It is a splendid health measure for it is more important to keep clean and pure on the inside than on the outside, because the skin pores do not absorb impuri ties into the blood, causing disease, while the bowel pores do. The principle of bathing inside is not new. as millions of people practice it. Just as hot water and soap cleanse, purify and freshen the skin, so hot water and a eapoonful of limestone phophate act on the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels. Umestone phos phate is an inexpensive white powder and almost tasteless. Advertisement. RED CROSS SERVICE. Red Cross Ball Blue gives to every housewife uncqualed service.

OF KIDNEY PAIN We cat too much meat, which clogs Kidneys, then the back hurts. Kays glass of Salts flushes Kidneys and ends Bladder irritation. Uric acid in meat excites the ki'l neys, they become overworked; get sluggish, ache, and feel like lumps of lead. Th urine becomes cloudy; the bladder is irritated, and you may be obliged to seek relief two or three times during the night. When the kidneys clog you must help them flush j off the body's urinous waste or you'll be a real sick person shortly. At first you feel a dull misery in the kidney region, you suffer from backache, sick headache, dizziness, stomach gets sour, tongue coated and you feel rheumatic twinges when the weather is bad. Eat less meat, drink lots of water: also get from any pharmacist four i ounces of Jad Salts; take a table j spoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for gen s erations to clean clogged kidneys and stimulate them to normal activity, also to neutralize the acids in urine, so it no longer is a source of irritation, thus ending bladder weakness. Jad Salts is inexpensive, cannot In Jure; makes a delightful effervescent lithia-water drink which everyone I should lake now and then to keep the kidneys clean and active. Drug gists here say they sell lots of Jad I Salts to folks who believe in over coming kidney trouble while it is only irounie. Advertisement.

THE STORE OF DEPENDABLE MERCHANDISE MAIN FLOOR HE GETS QUICK ACTION Xcgro Bill Kaiser Indicted I-ast X'ijilit Is on Trial Today. I After being indicted by the federal grand' jurv last night James W. Jack son, negro king of counterfeiters, de manded an immediate trial. Judge John C. Pollock of the federal district court accommodated him and Jackson is on trial today. He is charged with raising bills of small denominations and passing them. Jackson is said by federal official to be- known the country over as a bill raiser. Officials of the secret service department are here watching his case. He was arrested by the police of Kansas City some time ago. Ordi narily his case would not come up for trial until the next term of court but he could not give a $5,000 bond and did not want to lie in jail all summer. The arrest of Jackson was brought about by a woman who had accepted a twenty -dollar bill he is alleged to have raised to that denomination. Jackson is alleged to have made a pur chase of the woman and handed the bill to her for change. She detected something peculiar about the bill and demanded that he give her other money. He refused and started to leave. Then she attempted to call the police and Jackson is alleged to have struck her over the head with a re volver. The police caught him before he got away. Jackson is an ordinary looking ne gro and would not be picked as a man with the reputation he has for art work on paper money.

Mr. Humphrey was a Kansas university student, graduating in the class of 1912, and is now prac ticing law in Junction City.

About fifty mem bers of the class were present. fr There is consternation in thi uplifc circles.

It is stat ed by army officers that it is seldom a general is given such wide latitude as General Funston has been given in the orders from the secretary of war. Baker Tells of Orders. In re-stating his orders to General Funston, Secretary Baker said: I telegraphed to General Funston A. F- Weaver, water service mar. for the Santa Fe, was injured in a gas explosion at Leavenworth Thursday noon. He was expected to return to his home in Topeka today. Mr. Weaver was In the basement of the passenger station at Leavenworth when a torch he carried ignited gas from a leaky pipe. He was able to the contents of the dispatches which set out of the basement unassisted, were handed out by Mr. Arredondo. I Three of the Five Mexicans charge! directed him to take all the necessary j steps to protect our soldiers and allay l further trouble and to wire promptly all obtainable details." The secretary of war explained thai those orders were sent immediately after the receipt at the state depart ment of the dispatches given out at the Mexican embassy relating to the fight at Parral. Army officers realize the situation of General Pershing's forces at Parru.1 is very precarious. They believe the same hostility which urged the citizens against the advance guard would not cease at. once. They believe that fus ther attacks might be made and th:rt nothing but a retreat through a hos tile country could save Pershing'K forces from annihilation. Xanger Will Increase. It was stated by officers that it was this fear that forced the government to send unlimited authority to Funston to protect the soldiers. They say that the danger to General Pershing will increase every day and hour until he has been heavily reinforced. It was pointed out also by high army officers that the moment the demands of Carranza and Aguilar are printed at Parral and in Mexico gen erally the populace will take up the cry to force the Americans out of Mexico. In army circles there appeared to be a marked sentiment that the presi dent should either call out the na tional guard or send all the facts to congress at once in order that a de cision on the future policy of the gov ernment may be reached at once. Kunston Not I'neasy. San Antonio, April 14. "No appre hension need be felt about the ability j of General Pershing and his advance f columns to take care of themselves," 1 General Funston said early this morn S ing. "As in any sirnilar condition, the advance columns will fall back if they have met serious opposition and con centrate, and if pressed further will fall back on their supporting columns. General Pershing has several thou sand men below Namiquipa. I do not care to disclose how many. He is es pecially strong there in artillery and against any force of Mexican troops that can be concentrated quickly in that region he will be amply prepared not only t6 protect himself, but to dominate the situation. Of course, his troops will stay out of such cities as are near the line of retirement of the advance columns if retirement is necessary, and thus avoid any instance of fighting both soldiers and populace. "While I cannot discuss my orders nor disclose our troop movements, I will say this, that we have taken care ful steps to know what Gomez's So nora troops are doing. The line of communication is, protected.' Beyond that. General Pershing must be left rree 10 nanaie nis troops as the situ- At noon today the jury in the case of the state against Harry Grumbine, charged with a statutory crime against fourteen-year-old Helen Taylor, re ported that it had been unable to agree and was discharged bv Judge G. H. Whitcomb. The case went to the jury at 1:30 o'clock Thursday afternoon. Grumbine will be tried again at the next term of court. In the meantime he must either put up a heavy bond or spend the summer in jail. His at torney is James McClure. The little Taylor girl told the jury positively that Grumbine committed an assault- upon her but she was hazy as to details. The defense showed with one or more witnesses that she had threatened "to get even" with wummne following an occasion when he is alleged to have ordered her and a companion out of a restaurant where he was employed.

Full Directions OlTen. l&Mt thin, rundown men and women would probably be glad to increase their weight with ten to twenty-five pounds of good, firm solid healthy stay there flesh and fat If they believed it possible to ac complish sui-h result by merely making the flfah making materials in their daily meals do. a little more work than they are doing now. Pound A Week in Many ln- Thiw is said to be the chief reason why most thin people do stay underweight. They are so constituted that they fail to fully assimilate the nourishment of their food, a great deal of which passes from the body as. waste. Increase Assimilation to normal and normal weight follows as a matter of course. If you are ten pounds or more under weight and believe this can't be done in your case, here is a simple inexpensive and rewlly harmless test that is well worth try ing. First weigh yourself. Then with each meal for ten days and each night as you go to bed take a single Sargol tablet. Then weigh yourself again and let the scales tell the story. Sargol may not increase your weight as much as oue pound a day but with what ever increase in your weight may be shown you can decide what Its continued use for a few weeks farther may be able to do for you. Sargol does not of itself make fat but consisting of a splendidlv balanced combination of assimilative aids and flesh building agents it mixes with vour meals for the purpose of making it easier for your blood to accept their strength, flesh and fat-making nourishment and turn it into strength, flesh and fat upon your body. A great many people have gladly told that it succeeds. There are many reports like the following: "I have increased 18 pounds in less than, a month," wrote a man from Colorado. Another man who said he had been losing over a pound a week and was under 135 pounds, gained two pounds the first week taking Sargol and "been gaining ever since." Last report over 170 pounds. Better than 15 pounds gain. A lady frnsa St. Louis wrote, Have gaiued 16 pounds and am still gaining." Sargol as a rule should be taken .10 days or more where results like above are desired. The tablets are small, easily swallowed, produce no disagreeable effects, contain no babit drugs. are harmless and not at all expensive as compared with re sults said to be obtained. NOTE Sargol. referred to above is well known as a flesh builder to Arnold Drug Co. as well as many other of the leading local druggists who furthermore sell it on the positive guarantee, as found In each large package, of satisfactory weight in crease or money back. In view of this liberal offer and the harmless nature of the remedy, it would seem that all who desire increased weight should be glad to give the method a trial. Advertisement.

From the Kansas City Post Last win ter Vick's Vap-O-Hub Solve was In troduced in Kansas City, Kas.. for the first time. In order that their customers might try out this South ern method of treating colds exter nally, the local druggists presented s few of their customers with com plimentary jars, requesting that this preparation be given a thorough trial, and the results reported. By kind permission, we give a few of these reports below. In the South Vick's Vap-O-Rnb Salve is universally used in place of internal medicines for all forms of cold troubles, from head colds, catarrh and asthmatic troubles, down to deep chest colds, sore throat, bronchitis or incipient pneumonia. You Just apply it over throat and chest and cover with a warm flannel cloth. Leave the covering loose around the neck, as the body heat releases the ingredients In the form of vapors. These vapors are breathed in all night long, loosen ing the phlegm and clearing the air passages. In addition. Vap-O-Rnb is absorbed through and stimulates the skin, aiding the vapors Inhaled to re lieve the congestion. Mrs. Anna Gaston, 2523 N. 8th Street '1 have used Vlck'B Vap-O-Rub boro, N.

She was very bad would cough all night and I had her doctored by several doctors, and none did her any good; but the second application of Vap-O-Rub gave her relief." Mrs. Nellie Beth, 22 N. Baltimore Ave. "1 have used your salve for the past six months, and have tried It for colds on the luntrs, and found It of great service, giving almost instant relief." Mrs. M. J. Bailey, 635 Georgia Ave. "Last winter my children bad severe colds on the lungs that it seemed I could not reach. I rubbed them well with Vick's Vap-O-Rub, applying it over the throat and chest, and cover ing with a warm flannel cloth, and 1 also gave them a small piece to swal low. It gave them relief the first night. My husband thinks there li nothing that can equal it for tooth-; ache or neuralgic pains. Motners who try Vap-O-Rub Just once will al ways use it afterwards." Mrs. J. O. Dobbins, 2049 N. 4th St. "I have used Vick's Vap-O-Rub for a severe case of croup lust by rubbing It over the throat and chest and cov ering with hot flannels, and found it relieved in a little while.

Moot hop and prepared shampoos contain too much alkali. This driet the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and is very harmful. Just plain mulsified cocoanut oil (which is pure and en tirely greaselesst, is much, better than the most expensive soap or anything else you can use for shampooing. U this can't possibly injure the hair. Simply moisten your hati with wa ter and rub it in. One or two tea spoonfuls will makf an abundance of rich, creamy lather, and cleanses the hair and scalp thoroughly. The lath er rinses out easily, and removes every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves it fine and silky, bright, fluffy and easj to manage. You can get mulsified cocoanut ou at most any drug store. It is very cheap, and a few ounces is enough to last every one in the family tot months. Advertisement, It's Kay If You Know Df. FdwaroV Olive Tablets.

Much Interest in the State Journal's j Baseball Pass Contest. With no games here and the weath- er man making it so disagreeable that many of the fans even do not get a chance to ree the .Savages practice, now is an ideal time for whiling away the idle hours by estimating the paid attendance at the opening game here and sending in your guess, which, if It is nearer correct than that of any others, will win you the season pass the State Journal is offering. The guesses are coming in fast and several hundred have already been re ceived. The importance of being among the early birds should not be overlooked as in case of a tie between two guessers, the one whose guess was received first will get the pasteboard Rain Thursday kept Manager Lat timore and his Savages from going to St. Marys to play an exhibition game with the St. Marys college team. Savage announces that negotiations are on for an exhibition game at Hor- ton, Kan., Sunday, and that he will probably take the team of regulars down for a contest. After Sunday the players will be kept busy with their double daily workouts for the opening of the sea son at St. Joe next Thursday. The team will leave here for Drunimerville Thursday morning, and will probably be accompanied by a large following of fans. Manager Lattimnre said this morn ing that he has not yet decided upon his line-up for the opening, or upon the pitcher who will have the honor of taking the mound in the initial per formance. It has been generally thouaht that either Dashner or Grover would be called upon to bring home the first ba con, but now the dope is that one of the new twirlers will probably be called upon to attempt to raise the curtain with a victory. Eddie Monroe, who. as is well known, is a backstop of no mean abil ity, also is a most eloquent advocate of national prohibition. If some of the high, dry and holy rum ruiniim organizations knew what a wind jam mer Eddie is on the subject they would immediately take him from the field of clean sports and set him to work in the field. "Why nn tional prohibition." Eddie asserts, "would enable the people to pay the extra taxes necessary to run the government without ever feeling it. And if we had national prohibi tion every distillery in the country could be converted into a slaughter house, every brewery could be made into a pickle factory, and every labor er now employed in these devil domi nated demon factories who could not be employed in sticking steers and salting cucumbers could be put to work building schoolhouses and battleships."

DISREGARD ISMS PROTECT NATION IS TA APPEAL BoomtcH IHm usm's Issue Now Before People. Finds Campaign Text in N. i'riliune Editorial. WANTS PROTECTIVE TARIFF But Big Issue, America Must Kind Own Soul. National Honor a Spiritual Tliintr I'neomproniisingly. ovster Bav. H. T.. April 14. Taking p his text the concluding sentence of th- Tribune editorial indorsing his candidacy for the presidency. Theo dore Roosevelt gave out lumgm statement which is in effect an appeal to the people of the United States to disregard sectionalism and get to gether for national safety and national honor. The statement follows "Of course I deeply appreciate what the Tribune nays of me. but I appre ciate infinitely more what It says in ItnCMI "f the things for which I stand. The final sentence of the edi torial says. We are choosing which Wiiv the country shall go in the em tlii! la now opening, just as our fa ther chose the Nation's path in the days of 180.- mil wild Ait in Lincoln's Spirit. 'This sentence should be in the mind of every man. who, at Chicago next June, takes part in formulating the platform and naming the candi isYtca. The men at Chicago should ct In the spirit of the men who stood be hind Abraham Lincoln. 'From time to time tt ha recently' been announced that the fight against Mr. Wilson is to be waged only, or almost only, on the tariff. Such an appeal would be an appeal to the belly and not to the soul of the American nation. By all means provide for the things of the body, but only on condi tion that we treat the body as the servant of the soul. "I believe heartily in a protective tariff. Unless we return to a protec tive tariff, preferably administered through a commission of experts, we shall face widespread economic disas ter at the end of this war. Vmerica Must Find Its soul." "Hut this Is not the great issue on which the fight is to be made if the highest service is to be rendered the American people. The issue is that the American people must find its own soul. National honor is a spiritual thing that cannot be haggled over In terms of dollars. We must stand not only for America, first, but for Amer ica first and last and all the time, and without any second. ."Our loyalty must be to the whole United States. The east must stand for the safeguarding of the Pacific roast against every foe. The west must stand for the safeguarding of the Atlantic coast against every foe. East and west and north and south alike must hold the life of every man and the honor of every woman on the most remote ranch on the Mexican border as a sacred trust to be guar anteed by the might of our united nation. "We can be true to mankind at large only if we are true to ourselves. If we are false to ourselves we shall be false to everyone else. We have a lofty ideal to serve, a great mission to accomplish, for the cause of freedom, and of gen uine democracy, and of Justice and fair dealing throughout the world. Must Stand for Preparedness.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL FRIDAY EVENING, APRIL 14. 191H ON PLANTING CORN Hope on Climate and Soil Given by K. S. A. C. 'n western than in eastern Kansas be cause of the naturally drier condition of the soil in the western part of the state. WIDKIt SPACE IN CORX FIKLD. When Oak Trees Leaf, Get Out the Planter. Manhattan. Kan., April 14. When the ground becomes sufficiently warm to, start the leaves on the deep rooted fttees, like the oak, the walnut and Hie osage orange, it is time to plant Corn, according to C. C. Cunningham, assistant in co-operative experiments tit the Kansas State Agricultural col lege. "The time to plant corn varies with the season and the locality. The grow fig season in soutnern Kansas is from tvn to three weeks earlier than that in northern Kansas. In the western parr of the state the altitude is a fac tor influencing the time of planting. Jit that the season is shortened as a re ittlt of the greater elevation. "Under average conditions there is Aperiod of about three weeks during HffCli corn may be planted with equal Bncefl of success, although some-Mi::- because of peculiar climatic M&dltlons, very early or very late plantings are best. In the northern d northeastern portions of the state, frui May 1 to 20 is, on the average, re best time to plant corn, while in cruthern Kansas most of the corn is planted in the last three weeks of April." 14 Consider Variety of Grain. The time required to mature the variety if corn grown is a factor to considered, points out Mr. Cun ningham. Karly-maturing varieties may be planted comparatively late with good results, while late-maturing ones must necessarily obtain an early rft'art in order to ripen properly. Since tie top soil becomes warm earlier Qian the subsoil, the surface planted ;orn may be seeded earlier than the lasted corn. I A wet soil warms up more slowly tfcan a comparatively dry one. Corn aonsequently can be planted in the drier soils earlier than in the wet ones. For this reason, early planting is safer Plant Corn Rows Twice as Far Apart Advises K. S. A. C. Manhattan, Kan., April 14. "Plant ing corn rows twice as tar apart as the usual distance is a method which should be tried in western Kansas more than heretofore," says G. E. Thompson, specialist in crops in the division of extension, Kansas State Agricultural college. By this method, Mr. Thompson ex plains, ground for corn is prepared in the ordinary manner, the rows being listed 4 2 inches apart but only alter nate rows being planted, thus mak ing the actual rows 84 inches apart. All the ground Is cultivated and han dled the same as if corn were planted in each row. When wheat seeding time comes, the wheat is sown between the rows. A gas or water pipe is bolted to the front of the drill and the ends of the pipe are bent out and backward past the drill wheels. By this arrange ment. If one drives between the wide spaced rows the wheat can be put in rapidly with an ordinary drill, with out knocking off many ears of corn. poria. "We can place $1,200 or SI. 400 teachers without difficulty. We place i many men at $75 to $80 a month, j But the hundred-dollar man is a de mand that we have trouble in meet- ing." j Mr. Salser say? that many small I schools demand a highly trained man at $100. While highly trained men j will nt work for $100. poorly trained men cannot meet the requirements and fall back to positions at $75 or j $80. Between the two there is an eddy or gap that is hard to fill. CKKKBRATKD A BIRTHDAY. MOTORS 1TSOM I-KA VKN WORTH. Hotter Service Planned on Road of 1-eavemvortli-Topeka Railway.
