M., May A full squadron of two hun dred and thirty men of the Eleventh cavnlry surprised and routed a much lanrer force of Villa bandits at Ojo Azules, 17 miles south of t'usihuiria chW early yesterday. Hy actual count 42 Mexicans were It i 1 led a nd a number wounded, but there were no American casualties. The American command under MaJ. Kolrert L. Howze has been pursuing the Villa bandits under Gens. Cruz )minguez and Julio Acosto for sev eral days when they encountered them, encamped in the huddled adobe jackals of Ojo-Aztdes. The Mexicans were completely sur prised and sprang from tlieir pallets half clothed. After firing a few wild shots, they fled, each man shifting: for himself, some of them were able to seize their horses, already jaded from a hard day's ride previously, but oth ers made their way into the hills afoot. In Major Howze's report he said the I rout tiau been absolute, and that he was still pursuing scattered remnants of the band. The band engaged is the largest. The band engaged is the largest re maining under the Villa standard and today's decisive victory gave much sat isfaction to military men here. While the dispatch does not state, military men on the border believe that the band is the same as that which was defeated at Temochic April 22 by Col. (Jeorse A. Dond's command. Capture 75 Horses. San Antonio, May 6. Forty-two Villistas were killed, a number wound ed and 7 5 horses and mules captured in a surprise attack delivered by six troops of the Eleventh cavalry at Ojo Azules early yesterday morning. A report on the fight was forwarded from El Paso by General Funston. There were no American casualties. The American troops commanded by Major Robert L. Howze made a night ride of 36 miles from San Antonio to surprise the bandits. So unexpected was the attack that the Mexicans fled without offering organized resistance. The hand numbered 140 men and was commanded by Dominguez, Acosta and Angeles. Drove :!B Miles to Battle. The Villistas arrived at Ojo-Azules the night before and attempted to take the town from the Carranza garrison. Meeting with resistance, they decided to wait until morning before renewing the effort. Major Howze at San Antonio, 36 miles to the north, learned of the sit uation and at once set out with six troops of the Eleventh cavaltry to re lieve the town. The command reached the outskirts of Ojo Azules shortly be fore dawn and took the bandits com pletely off their guard. Five Car ranza soldiers held for execution by the band, were released when the outlaws were put to flight. General Pershing's Report. El Paso, May 6. General Pershing's official report of the defeat of a band of Villa s men at Ojo-Azules, by Ma jor Howze, described the action as a cavalry charge with pistols, the first to occur since operations were begun. The men had ridden 36 miles from San Antonio to Ojo-Azules, 17 miles southwest of Cusihuiriachic. The pursuit of the scattered Mexi cans was continued for two hours. In formation that the band was near Ojo-Azules had been secured by Gen eral Pershing two days before. It was said to have attacked and defeated a 'arranza force a few days before that. The commanders were Cruz Dominguez, Antonio Angeles and Julio Acosta. General Pershing reported that the counted dead was 42. Seventy-five horses and mules were tak en from the Mexicans and six Car ranza prisoners .they had been hold ing for execution. Many wounded were reported but the number was not given. Reiort Te Facto Start Clash. Kl Paso, May 6. "Somewhere north of Parral." American troops have been attacked by Carranza detachments of Oeneral Luis Herrera's brigade. Con fidential advices to this effect have been received here by American min ing men from agents in Parral. Anti American demonstrations have been in progress in and around Parral since yesterday, these messages said. Eighteen Americans are in the min ing renter. Tr-ie information was transmitted to Generals Scott and Funston. ENGLAND, TOO, ADOPTS MORE DAYLIGHT PLAN London, May 6. The "daylight saving" scheme by which the clock will b put ahead an hour, is ex pected to be approved by the house of commons on Monday and will go into effect the following Sunday morning. BREAK BETWEEN CARRANZA AND OBREGON SEEN This Interpretation Put on First Chiers Delay. "Interventionists" Predict Wid er Split to Come. TRUCE WITH VILLA LEADERS Bandit Generals Would Join Mar Against IT. S. Mex-U. S. Conference To Be Continued Today. El Paso, May 6. General Scott and General Funston planned today to hold another -:onference with Gen eral Obregon in the expectation that before it ended, the suggestions of the United States .rovernment for co operative disposal of the Villa bands in Mexico would take the form of a duly signed protocol. Prior to the meeting, however, came reports from Juarez '..hat were n t quite so optimistic. It was reported that the negotiations might extend into still another session of he conferees because General Carranza had ex pressed a wish for further discussion of the subject of the withdrawal of the American troops. While the American conferees will listen attentively to any suggestion submitted by General Obregon, there is no chance that any change in the attitude of the United States will take place it was said here, except on minor details. The fact that General Car ranza did not immediately endorse the tentative agreement entered into by General Obregon was seized upon by the "interventionists" here, who have been predicting a break between the first chief and his minister of war. They declare that the present situa tion is but a forerunner of a wider split to come between the two men. Truce With Villistas. From authentic Mexican sources, it is learned, that during the conference held here and in Juarez, an inter-party truce has existed in Mexico with the understanding that if trouble arises between the de facto government and the United States, all factions would unite against the common enemy. General Trevino is reported to have received messages by telegraph from various Villa chiefs saying that they are ready to put sixteen million rounds of ammunition now hid in the moun tains as well as their own services at the disposal of the first chief, should a break occur with Washington. "There are now no Villa bands, only bandits,' was the comment of General Obregon today when the subject of operations against Villa was men tioned. "There are no Villistas. as their cause is dead and gone," Obregon continued. "It is now only a hunt aft er outlaws without a flag. It is only a matter of time and diligence before they are cleared out of our country." EIGHTH MAN SHOT Major John McBride, Irish Rebel Leader, Executed. Led Irish Against Crown Throughout Boer War. Dublin, May 6. It was officially an nounced today Major John McBride, the eighth leader of the Sinn Fein re bellion to suffer death by sentence of court martial, has been shot. Major John McBride fought throughout the Boer war with the Irish brigade under General Piel. When the Boers finally surrendered he made his escape and took refuge in Paris, where he later married Miss Maud Gonne, knew in home rule cir cles in Ireland as the Lrish Joan d'Arc. In 1905 Major and Mrs. Mc Bride delivered a series of lectures in the United States on Irish politics. On their return to Paris. Mrs. McBride sued for divorce and was granted a le gal separation. McBride maintained his interest in Irish political affairs and was always identified with the ex treme of separatist factions of the na tionalist party. The sentences of Thomas Hunter and William Oosgrove, who were sen tenced to death with Major McBride wore commuted to life imprisonment. TRAIN HIT OIL WAGON Santa Fc Cars Scorch When Contents Ignited in Topeka This Morning. A Standard Oil company tank wag on was totally demolished and more than 500 gallons of oil was lost when the wagon was struck by Atchison, Topeka Santa Ye tram No. 12. near Seventh and Hancock streets, shortly after 6 o'clock this morning. The oil was ignited by a spark from the engine and the pilot of the engine and several cars were scorched con siderably. No one was hurt. L. C. Rahn, owner of the Capital Shirt factory, was on Santa Fe train No. 12 when it struck the oil wagon. "It caused no little excitement on the train," he said. "When the first lurch came everyone thought we were wreu. x nen u was discovered 'that the engine had struck a tank of oil. We looked out and saw the j flames leaping up around the sides of jthe mail car. The engineer undoubt iedly thought it wouldn't do to burn up ithe mail, so he pulled up until the flames began to lick the sides of the coach. Tou should have seen the oc cupants scramble out of that car. One man had a coat badly scorched. Once more the engineer pulled up and as the entire train pulled through that fire the sides of the cars, Pullman and all. were burned." Trip to Doom Is Honeymoon of Irish Rebel Dublin, May 6. Joseph Plunk-, ett, one of the leaders in the re bellion, was married an hour be fore he was put to death, to Miss Giffard, sister of Mrs. Thomas MacDonagh, widow of one of the first rebels who was put to death after court martial. TO OTHER BANKS Shawnee County Sends $50,000 to Country Institutions. Three Per Cent Paid When To peka Bankers Refuse. Shawnee county will draw 3 per cent interest on at least fifty thousand dol lars of its funds. The county commissioners have authorized the county treasurer to place that amount on time deposit in three banks located outside of Topeka. Twenty thousand dollars will be placed in each of the two banks at Rossville and ten thousand dollars will be placed in the bank at Silver Lake. These amounts will be deposited by the county treasurer for given periods of time and he will take out time cer tificates in his own name, as county treasurer. All of these banks have been carry ing some county money but have been carrying it on daily balance and have been paying 2 M per cent interest on it. When the Topeka banks got to gether and announced that beginning I May 1 they would pay the county only i 2 per cent interest on daily balances j the commissioners looked for a hole. They asked W. E. Atchison, county i attorney, for an opinion as to whether or not they could place the county s money on time deposit. The opinion was favorable and the instructions to the county treasurer were issued yes terday. Fifty thousand dollars is only a small part of the county's funds but the rate to be paid by the outside banks is one-half of one per cent more than the county has been receiving in Topeka heretofore and one per cent more than it will receive on daily bal ances under the new order. GERMANS GAIN Rout French From Trench, but Can't Advance. Teuton Troops Kept Out of Position- by Artillery. Paris, May 6. The French evacu ated part of their trenches on the northern slope of Hill 304 on the Ver dun front west of the Meuse as the result of an unusually violent bom bardment by heavy German guns. The war office statement of ttris aft ernoon says, however, that all efforts of the Germans to advance were checked by French guns and that a fresh division of troops which the j Germans brought into action sustained great mssea. Attacks north and northwest of Hill 304 were repulsed at the point of bay onets. Turks Claim Victories. Constantinople, May 6. Via London i The following official statement was j issued today by the Turkish army headquarters: "On the Irak front the situation is unchanged. The day before the sur render of the British army at Kut-el-Amara. one of our aeroplanes shot down two enemy machines. "Caucasian front: One of our cav alry detachments surprised and de stroyed a detachment of the enemy's, cavalry. On the other fronts there is no news. BUILDERS STRIKE 7,000 Quit Work on 100 Build ings in St. Louis. Strike in Sympathy to Demand of Hod Carriers' Union. St. Louis, May 6. Seven thousand men, members of sixteen unions in the building trades, were called on strike here today. Twenty business agents of the vari ous unions went about the city, visit ed 100 buildings in course of construc tion and cailed the men out in sym pathy with the striking members of the Hod Carriers' and Building La borers' union, who are demanding 35 cents instead of 25 cents an hour, an eight hour day and time and a half for overtime. Bromine Makers Strike. Gallipolis. Ohio, May 6. Several hundred miners and salt makers at the Linden. Hartford City and Liver pool. W. Va., coal and salt works, along the Ohio river near here, struck today for higher wages. The plants, which have been turning out bromine for the European belligerents, were closed. fall Out 12 Trades. The trades called out by the strike older today are tile layers, cement fin ishers, concreters, plumbers, steamfit ters. hoisting engineers, iron workers, roofers, electricians, pile drivers, as bestos workers, painters and machin ists. Carpenters, bricklayers and plaster ers are not affiliated with the buifd- ing trades council, and though they were noi iormany cajiea out many men in these trades quit work. Kxpress Companies Show Profits. Washington, May 6. Leading ex press companies of the United States, according to figures published today by the interstates commerce commis sion, earned total profits of $138,000 i last January, as compared with a de i ficit of Jotl-1,000 the same month a j year ago. LIQUOR HOUSES GET A SETBACK IN HIGHER COURT Decision of District Judge Up held In Cooley Case. Can't Collect for Goods Sold to Former Topekan. LABOR LAW CLEARED UP Supreme Court Rules on Work men's Compensation Act. City Livestock Can Be Kept in a Barn. (Supreme Court Decisions on page 17.) Dick Cooley does not need to pay for intoxicating liquor delivered to him by Danciger Brothers of Kansas City dur ing the time Cooley was owner of the Topeka baseball team. The supreme cour ttoday held the sale of liquors to Cooley an evasion of the Kansas pro hibitory liquor law and affirmed the verdict of the Shawnee county district court -in denying the liquor company a Judgment. During the time oColey was owner of the Topeka Western league base ball club, liquor was on certain occa sions consigned by Danciger Brothers of Kansas City to themselves in To peka. Here an agent is said to have delivered the bills of lading to Cooley. who took the liquor from the express or freight offices. When Cooley sold his ball team, he is said to have owed the Kansas City liquor house several hundred dollars. Proceeds of the sale were attached, the Dancigers taking action both for themselves and other liquor houses. When the case was called for trial, a demurrer was sustained and judgment entered for the defendant. It was held by the court that the sale was an evasion of the Kansas pro hibitory liquor law. Title to the liq dor didn't change until the shipment had reached Kansas, it was held, and for that reason the sale was made in Kan sas in violation of law and the account was not collectable in a court of rec ord. In one of the cases th; defend ant pleaded payment of the accounts and a jury found for him. In the oth ercases, demurrers were sustained. "A principal who employs an agent to make collections under circum stances which make the act a viola tion of the criminal law, cannot main tain an action for the recovery of the amount collected," said Justice Mason in deciding the case. Must Get an Order. When attorneys win fees in divorce cases, they must get court orders for their fees promptly if they would in clude the fee as a part of the decree divorce. That was the ruling of the supreme court today in a case from Gove county. Rebecca M. Eisenbise secured a di vorce decree from J. M. Eisenbise. An attorney's fee of J250 was allowed. The attorney, however, neglected to secure the incorporation of his fee in the decree. Now he must bring a separate suit against Eisenbise to win the $250. More Compensation Cases. The supreme court clarified some of the legal muddle surrounding in terpretations of the workmen's com pensation act when it todav Dassed on three cases involving the big labor law. In a suit by S. O. Gailey against tne oeet tirotners Manructuring com pany of Wyandottee county, the court held that an employee who was par tially disabled through injury does not lose his right under the compensation taw though he remain in the employ of the company. Another case was that of J. H. Ruth against the With-erspoon-Englar company, in which the supreme court reversed the action of the Wyandotte county district court. In this case the court held an em ployee was entitled to injuries which he received in connection with his work, but was not entitled to compen sation for alleged malpractice of sur geons employed by the defendant com pany. A third case was that of Albert W. Taylor against the Sulzberger Sons company, also of Wyandotte county. The court in this case held 1 that a son could not collect compen sation for the death of his mother. even though she contributed to his support. The woman lived with her son. who was head of a household of a wife and child. The mother lived with them, contributed to the mainte nance of the home, but was not re garded as a member of the family. Horses, Cows and Chickens Exempt. When a man keps a horse, a cow or chickens in his barn, he is not violat ing the city health ordinance unless he persists in depositing refuse in places that make such an act dangerous to health or welfare of a community. That was the decree of the supreme court today in a case testing the val idity of an ordinance of the city of Goodland, Sherman county. L. W. Popejoy brought suit to test the Goodland ordinance. The court held that the ordinance which pro hibited depositing of cans, manure, ashes and garbage on property of citi zens was invalid because the town council did not state whether the de posit was a nocuous or inocuous de posit. Enforcement of the ordinance would prohibit the keeping of a cow, horse or chickens in a barn, regard less of the cleanliness of the barn." Decides Old Case. The supreme court today decided a sixty-year-old case when it gave to the J. W. Stark estate of Kansas City, property which they had obtainted through accretions. The accretion came with a flood in 1867 when there was an ice gorge in the Kaw river. The land was claimed to have been taken from Howe's island and title was claimed by Hunter M. Meriweather. Suits concerning accretions from the flood and ice gorge of 1877 have for years been in the state and United States courts. The decision today gives the land to the Stark estate.

Buffum has re turned from a 90-day trip through the state. He found a growing senti ment for Roosevelt and a decided in crease in the number of preparedness boosters. Veterans who fought in the civil war are for a program of prepared ness. Buffum declared. He also stated that sons of veterans are bit terly opposed to a wobbly and uncer tain foreign policy and prefer a clean cut, emphatic program such as they expect from a Roosevelt administra tion. Buffum is one of the veteran travelling men of the state. For near ly forty years he has been enrolled as a knight of the grip and through his acquaintance in Kansas is able to gather a definite view of sentiment in various localities. "I have just made a ninety day trip over the state and there isn't a bit of question about a growing Roosevelt sentiment in Kansas," said Buffum. "This sentiment is especially defined among old soldiers and sons of vet erans who denounce a weak foreign policy on the part of our nation, i hey look to Roosevelt for the leadership the nation expects and demands.

The most striking fact demonstrated by this war is that man's power ia lim ited. Machinery has revenged it self on mankind. Man believed himself the world's master, but against him has risen up a power of his own invention to demonstrate to him that his littleness is such that he cannot dominate what he creates. flesh and bone cannot over come the annihilating force of the weapons that man's own brain de vised for destruction of his own kind. However brave, however strong he may be, the machine he has evolved wrests the humanitarian victory from his grasp and the eternal truth has again been brought home to him that his powers are limited.

Lansing May Issue Statement Touching on ote. Washington, May 6. The sub marine issue between the United States and Germany is closed. This is the view of President WUson'sadvisers with th official text of Germany's reply to the American demands in hand. The president himself received the official text today but the White House with held comment. So completely do' officials in touch with the situation consider the issue disposed of, it is said, there will be no reply by the president to the German note. There may be a statement by Secretary Lansing, however, calling attention to the essential point in the note that Germany has ordered sub marine attacks confined to vessels of war. This is the essence of the kaiser's reply, officials say, and leaves no actual issue with Germany. The issue will remain closed, of ficials believe. They feel Germany will not reopen it by resuming warfare against merchantmen. Mississippi Flood Receding. Clinton, May 6.

Instead Sfear-Topeka Firm Was Faking Whisky. 48 QUARTS FOR 4 DOLLARS Little Water, Some Sugar, Al cohol Presto, Liquor! Shawnee Officers Looking Up Legality of "Wonder Water." Xot long ago the word was passed around in official county circles that there was still in operation in Shaw nee county; that within the shadow of the state house dome "the worm" was changing good Shawnee corn and rye into a brand of liquor that would make the proverbial jackrabbit spit In the proverbial bulldog's face. The officers had the alleged location of the still. It was about twelve mile? distant from the court house. They laid plans for an early morning raid. It was planned to leave Topeka about 3 o'clock in the morning in automobiles and swoop down upon the operators of the still when they changed shifts. Everything was going fine and the officers expected to make a clean up. Then came the climax the kind with an "anti" prefixed. Some home-grown detective made a discovery. He discovered there waa no still at all; that while it might be whisky that was being turned out, it lacked a lot of coming within the meaning of the word as- set forth in the pharmacopea. True, it had alco hol in it but the alcohol was placed in it after the drink was made and the people supposed to be running the still were not selling the alcohol. Merely Selling Zanol. They were selling "Zanol and Kanol is nothing more nor less than an extract made in Cincinnati. Since the "still" theory blew up Topeka has been flooded with "Zanol" literature and much of it has reached the office of W. E. Atchison, county attorney.

SEE NOTE OF PEACE IN REPLY OFJCAISER Reference Interpreted to Mean End of War Desired. Twice Offered to .Make Peace, Declares Late Epistle. RECALLS YISjTWITH EMPEROR Peace Proposal 51 ay Hare Been Imparted to Gerard. Wilson Has Awaited Sugges tion From Some Belligerent; Washington. May Overshadow ing in many minds the question of the president's acceptance of the Ger man reply is interest in the small par agraph in the heart of the German note relating to peace. When the president replies to Germany this paragraph may or may not be touched upon. Nevertheless, officials today th guarded manner intimated frankly that something may result di rectly from Germany's plain indica tion that she is anxious for pece. The conference between Ambassa dor Gerard and the kaiser suddenly looms large in the minds of oftirials here. It never had been seriously thought that the emperor discuused details of the submarine issue with the American ambassador. Since the arrival here of the German note, ths belief has grown strong that peace may have played a prominent part in that conference. Doesn't Want War Prolonged. Germany's admission that- she has twice offered to make peace, her declaration that she yields to the president's demands because she be lieves it would be a calamity if the war were prolonged or increased in scope these decisions, if not actual indications of uneasiness over the fu ture, are at least appeals to this coun try for formative steps that will stop the carnage, according to the ex pressed beliet in German circles as well as in administration quarters. It may be said with certainty that some of those close to the president believe he should and may tentatively sound out the warring powers on the question ot a possible peace as a re sult of the German note. One of these men said today: Nation Sick of Conquest. "We hear in this (the German re ply) not the voice of the braggart or buly but the voice of a nation sick and tired of the endless fight. It is the heart and soul of Germany speak ing what It feels. "From all the countries at war we read every day of some indication th't the conflict Is becoming an intolerable burden. Perhaps this is the time to move for the end." The president has for more than a, year declined to volunteer his services in the cause of peace. Until such ac tion was suggested to him by one of the countries fighting, it has been un derstood he would make no move. This suggestion in the minds of many nere is that time has now come. Whether or not the president regards it in this light remains to be seen. With the official text of the German reply before him today. President Wilson is formulating his decision on whether or not Germany has met American squarely on the submarine issue. Conclusion GeneraUy Approved.

ALTERNATE PAGE FOLLOWS 2 THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL SATURDAY EVENING, MAY 6, 1916 GERMANYJS CALM Scarcely Hippie of Excitement Apparent in Berlin. Even Anti-American Papers Restrain Comment. RESULTS DEPEMD OH JEM-LAND Inference Teutons Will Break Over if British Do. President Will Announce Deci sion ext Week. (BCTXETIX.) Washington, May 6. The official text of Germany's note fully decoded and laid before President Wilson to day shows no material differences from the unofficial text published yesterday in news dispatches. This strengthens the probability that a diplomatic break has been averted, at least for the present. Berlin, May 6. The text of the German reply to the American note was printed in extra editions of the papers, but caused hardly a ripple of excitement. No crowds gathered around the newspapers offices and the people in general showed marked calmness. Notable restraint was shown in the limited comment made in the note in the papers, even Count von Revent low, usually a caustic critic of German-American relations, disposes of the matter with a single line referring his readers to previous editorials for his opinion. The Kreuse Zeitung also declines to criticise and contented itself with re ferring to previous discussions of the Issue in question. On the whole the German press appears satisfied with the tenor of the reply from Berlin al though there are indications that the attitude of the newspapers are not wholly inspired. Depends on British Actions. "The note is inspired by a sincere wish to avoid a break with the United States. The government, in ignoring the tone of President Wilson's note has gone straight to the point wherein there is a possibility of an agreement by offering to conduct the subma rine controversy within the limits of International law. This is the last and furthest concession that Germany can make and should the expectations that England now stay within the bounds of international law, be de ceived, the government reserves full liberty of action." Yp to Americans! The Taegliche Rundschau while ex pressing the opinion that the note should have taken a different charac ter, urging that the expression of di vergent views is unwarranted at this moment, and that everybody should subordinate his own judgment and stand behind the government. "After Germany has undertaken this doubly difficult sacrifice," says this paper, "Germans are entitled to ex pect America to .keep her promise to restore the freedom of the seas as against all belligerents. It is now up the amar-inan nl I fore all the world whether their pur pose was to protect the rights of hu manity or to act as England's ally with a view to cripple us and frustrate our victory." The Berlin Tageblatt contents itself with summarizing the main points of the note and expressing hope that it will attain its aim in preventing war with America.

Editorial Association Elects Of ficers at Lawrence Today. Lawrence, Kan., May 6. Editors of country papers pay for the use of advertising material for which they should receive cash when they run ready-print sections in their publica tions, said Arthur Brisbane, editor of the New York Journal, in an address to Kansas newspaper men at Law rence Friday. Country editors should go after foreign advertising, said Mr. Brisbane, on the premise that the peo ple of their communities are reached exclusively through their papers. "One at the worst enemies of the country editor is the ready-print news paper," said Mr. Brisbane. "It steals the space and deadens the ambition of the editor. The use of ready-print is the most preposterous, idiotic business proposition in the United States." Chester S. Lord, editor of the New York Sun, spoke on "Journalism as a Profession." His address was deliv ered at a special convocation of Kan sas University students. "The Clinic of Humor." was the subject taken by Strickland Gillilan, of Roland Park. Md. Other addresses and discussions took up the day of the editorial asso ciation. The principal feature of the pro gram today was the reading of the prize winning story by the wife of a Kansas editor on the subject, "If I Had My Life to Live Over Again, Would I Marry a Kansas Editor?" Newspaper Week closes today with the election of officers of the editorial association. GO AFTER SOCIALIST Reference to Killing Governors Arousess Turmoil in House. Washington, May 6. Representa tive London, the only Socialist mem ber of the house, threw it into turmoil today with some remarks on the suf frage clause of the Porto Rican bill. Later on objection by Mr. Austin, Re publican of Tennessee, Mr. London Withdrew his remarks. As reported by the official stenog rapher and understood by members Mr. London declared working people who were disfranchised by the bill would have the right to use revolvers; the right to use violence and the right to kill governors. 'I wish that I could make a motion to expel him from the house," shouted Mr. Austin. Democratic parliamen tarians waged a successful fight to give Mr. London an opportunity to explain his words. Mr. London pro tested he did not advocate violence and insisted that he had been mis quoted,, what he really said he de clared, was that disfranchised men would be told that they had the right to use violence. "Don't try to blame it on the stenographer," Republican Leader Mann interjected. "Plenty of mem bers heard you.' The bill would provide that persons not paying $3 in annual taxes on the islands shall not have the right to vote. HOW WICKED WE ARE! Ir. Gordon Says If Rilly Sunday Knew Ho Would Come. "Doe Topeka Need Billy Sunday? or Sunday, Shakespeare and the Scriptures" Is the sibject which the Rev. Robert Gordon haa chosen for his text at the Sunday evening service at the First Baptist church. Recently the Ministerial union voted to get Billy Sunday here and appoint ed a committee for that purpose. Sunday, however, answered the com mittee: 'I use Topeka as an exam ple. It would be like fighting the air for me to crusade there. I can do no good in Topeka." When questioned as to his attitude on Sunday's answer, Dr. Gordon said: "If Billy knew the facts about Topeka, he'd come here in a hurry." His ser mon, Sunday night, will be devoted to giving specific reasons why Sunday is needed here. STILL NO "STILL" (Continued from Page one.i own distiller. It's the. simplest thing in the world. All you have to do is to take a little phial of Zanol, mix it with a little sugar, a little water and a lit tle alcohol, and presto, you have a full quart bottle of whisky. Two minutes does the work and the literature de clares this method of making whisky saves the maker 50 per cent over the regular dealer's prices. Forty-Eight Quarts for $1. Farther along the circular makes the proposition 'even more alluring. It states that forty-eight bottles of Zanol cost $4 and that means that the pur chaser can get forty-eight quarts of whisky for $4, counting nothing for the cost of sugar, -water and a mite of alcohol. The Zanol proposition ap pears to have the old fashioned still beaten in every direction and county officers are not now surprised to find that the "still" story- was a fake. Why should anyone want to spend time and good money, take a chance on going to the- federal penitentiary, then to the state penitentiary, when for four dol lars he can supply a whole town with whisky made from Zanol? Robert Garver, assistant county at torney, is looking up the Zanol propo sition. He has serious doubts of its legality, although the circular is cal culated to set all those questions-at rest. "It may be," said Garver, "that the Zanol people can get away with it, but 1 doubt it. If they can we just have another prolifio source-of trouble." ST0RM0N CAMP Thunder and Bain Closed Day for the Women. Fair Recruits Had to Wash Their Own Dishes. SMOKING IN CAM? FORBIDDEN Reason for Haling Suppressed by the Censor. Big Change From Dancing Pnmps to Army Boots. Washington, May 6. A shower with thunder that rolled like heavy artil lery gave 200 weary, limp, aching limbed "rookies" out at the women's national service camp a warlike finish to the hardest day they have yet had. During the day a veteran marine corps noncom. made a hit with girl soldiers by praising their aptitude in drill. He attributed it to the fact that most of them were good dancers. A drill sergeant was not quite so po lite. She tried to be very stern as the companies lined up for drill. "Look at those shoe laces--why aren't they tied neatly?" she de manded. A brave private piped up: 'Well, we've been wearing dancing pumps all winter and these shoes blister our feet." The sergeant whispered an aside "same here,"' and let It go at that. Washed the Dishes. Several girls experienced their first reprimand, though, for trying to go through drill with blouses instead of their khaki coats. One thing the campers think they have on mere males is the ability to meet the kind of emergency that arose this- evening when the diehwashers failed to show up. They set about do ing the task themselves and were most anxious that all war news carry the information that they "got away with it." Bandaged Their Bugler. Today four girls got even with the bugly who sounds the call for them to get up at 6:30 o'clock every morn ing. They used him for a "lay figure" in the first aid class. They bandaged him from head to foot, until he looked like Houdin, and practiced holding him at arms length. 'That was a long ways to fall if they dropped me," he said as he was told to go to his bugling. The censorship is clamped down tight on the reason for a rule that went forth today: "No smoking in c&mp." One thing is not forbidden about the only one, some of the girls think and that is mail. Their only trouble is in finding time to read the morning letters. This afternoon John Barrett, direc tor general of the Pan-American un ion, and Mrs. Frank C. Odenhefmer, president general, United Daughters of th Confederacy, lectured. Sees Danger to U. S. in Met. Bl Paso, May 6. General Obregon may bring up the subject of a speedy withdrawal of the American troops in Mexico at his next conference with General Scott according to information from Juarez. He will not press the matter, but simply to urge again upon th American conferee, the danger of irritating the Mexican people, if the troops remain south of the Rio Grande. As far as the United States is concerned, however, it is pointed out, there ie not likely to be any change of attitude. American officials expected the final conference prob ably would take place today. How ever, General Obregon. may be unable to get ready for the meeting before Saturday.

The de mand for missionaries to work in for eign fields for the Methodist Episco pal church is much greater than the supply, the Woman's Foreign Mis sionary society reported to the gen eral conference of the church today. Last year, the report said, only $50, 000 was available for the foreign mis sionaries: although a total of $368,000 had been requested. The -society, which asked an in creased appropriation to carry on its work, said there was an enrollment of i 50,000 pupils in its Methodist schools in foreign countries. EIGHTH MAN SHOT Major John Mi-Bride, Irish Rebel Leader, Executed. Led Irish Against Crown Throughout Boer War. Dublin, May 6. It was officially an nounced today Major John McBride, the eighth leader of the Sinn Fein re bellion to suffer death by sentence of court martial, has been shot. Major John McBride fought throughout the Boer war with the Irish brigade under General Piel. When the Boers finally surrendered he made his escape and took refuge in Paris, where he later married Miss Maud Gonne, known in home rule cir cles in Ireland as the Lrish Joan d'Arc. In 1905 Major and Mrs. Mc Bride delivered a series of lectures in the United States on Irish politics. On their return to Paris, Mrs. McBride sued for divorce and was granted a le gal separation. McBride maintained his interest in Irish political affairs and was always identified with the ex treme of separatist factions of the na tionalist party. The sentences of Thomas Hunter and William Cosgrove, who were sen tenced to death with Major McBride were commuted to life imprisonment. SEE NOTE OF PEACE iConMnnpii from Pan One.i nouneed that the official document, dispatched by Ambassador Gerard, does not differ from the copy pub lished yesterday. It is practically a foregone conclusion that the danger of an immediate break with Germany has passed. This conclusion has the general approval of congress, the cabi net and others of the president's ad visers. From a great number of tele grams received at the White Houm during the night, it appears the coun try also is satisfied that Germany has made concessions precluding the pos sibility of a break unless she fails to live up to her promise. Germany may be said today to be once more on probation, with time to tell whether she deserves the chance, according to the view here. Tusitania Case a. Lost I$sue. With he president's decision and it is expected very shortly the Lusi tania case will pass into history. That case was on the point of settlement when Germany, by the March 1 order. almost brought the two nations to the brink of a break. The United States practically demanded the abrogation of the March 1 decree. The last ob stacle will have been removed in the LiUSitania negotiations when the pres ident approves Germany's new order putting freighters and liners in the same class and subject to the rules of search and seizure a laid down by international law. The Lultania cae, therefore, disappeared practically on the first anniversary of her sinking regarded now even in high German circles as one of the great blunders of the war. Rcrlln Sees Peae Prospect. Berlin. May G. American circles here pointed out today the importance of the peace feature contained in Ger many's reply to Vhe American note and expressed the belief that Presi dent Wilson now had a great oppor tunity to bring the war to an early end. Some people even suggested that the time Is now ripe for Colonel House to revisit European capitals. The German reply contained the fol lowing reference to peace: "Conscious of Germany's strength. twice within the last few months it has announced before the world its readiness to make peace on a basis safeguarding Germany's vital Interests, thus indicating that it is not Ger many's fault if peace is still withheld from the nations of Europe." 00T FOR COLONEL (Continued From Page One.) th sentiment of the entire state. Roosevelt's strength in Kansas has been greatly underestimated." Mahin Is Coming Back. Senator I. M. Mahin of Smith coun ty, in Topeka several days this week before the state supreme court, will doubtless fee back in the state legisla ture next winter without serious op position. It is- believed Senator Mahin will be renominated without a fight, although opposition candidates have on several occasions been mentioned To date there has been no other an nouncements. In the sessions of 1913-15 Senator Mahin made an excellent record in the senate. He was the author of a num ber of important enactments and his work on the floor and in the commit tees placed him among the half dozen leaders of the upper house. Senator Mahin, who is one of the most able lawyers of the Sixth district, came to Topeka, new to the work of lawmak ing, as a member of the legislature. He picked up the work for his district where it had been dropped by Sena tor "Todd" Reed following the session of 1911 and in four years Senator Mahin established a record equal to that of his well known predecessor. Aldrieh Wotild Ketnin. Ir, H. L. Aldrlch of Montgomery county probably will be returned to the legislature next fall. Dr. Aldrieh was in Topeka this week attending the meeting of the State Medical society and told friends of his ambition to represent again the Twenty-seventh district in the house. During the 1915 session, Dr. Aldrieh was chairman of the house committee on hygiene and public health and also served as a member of the ways and means committee which shaped the big appropriation bills. Farmers, bus iness men and labor organizations in Mcntgomery county have urged Dr. AUIrich to return and it is probable that he will again be a candidate. Dr. Aldrieh is a Republican. In Topeka this week he predicted an unusual Re publican majority in the Third district in November. Wilson Will Run Again. Senator Ben Wilson of the Douelas- Jefierson county district will seek to return to the senate next winter. He succeeded J. L. Brady as a member of the state senate from his district when Kansas rolled up a Democratic majority in 1912 and Walter Roscoe Stubbs's home county went over to the ranks of the Bourbons. Senator Wil son was regarded as one of the safe and conservative workers among sen ate Democrats and in a fight for re election will be a difficult man to de feat in the November election. He Was the Party. Up in Jewell county the other day. the Progressives held a county con vention, elected delegates to the state convention in Topeka May 22 and adopted resolutions. The convention was called by George W. Dart. When the convention assembled, George W. Dart was the only man present. He read the call, appointed himself a member of the committee on delegates and reported the names of eight men who ought to go to, Topeka. Then Dart, on behair or the jeweii counry Progressives, adopted stirring resolu tions for preparedness and endorsed Roosevelt for the presidency. Then Dart moved to adjourn, put the mo tion, voted ave. picked up his hat and went home. Dart will head the dele gation of Progressives to Topeka for the state convention. TRAIN HIT OIL WAGON Santa Fe Cars Scorch When Contents Ignited in Topeka This Morning. A Standard Oil company tank wag on was totally demolished and more than 500 gallons of oil was lost when the wagon was struck by Atchison, Topeka Sc Santa Fe train No. 12, near Seventh and Hancock streets, shortly after 6 o'clock this morning. The oil was ignited by a spark from the engine and the pilot of the engine and several cars were scorched con siderably. No one was hurt. L. C. Rahn, owner of the Capital Shirt factory, was on Santa Fe train No. 12 when it struck the oil wagon. "It caused no little excitement on the train," he said. "When the first lurch came everyone thought we were into a wreck. Then it was discovered that the engine had struck a tank of oil. We looked out and saw the flames leaping up around the sides of the mail car. The engineer undoubt edly thought it wouldn't do to burn up the mail, so he pulled up until the flames began to lick the sides of the coach. You should have seen the oc cupants scramble out of that car. One man had a coat badly scorched. Once more the engineer pulled up and as the entire train pulled through that fire the sides of the cars, Pullman and all, were burned." LIQUOR HOUSES Continued from page 1.) the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe railroad for a new trial in the Sedg wick county district court, the su preme ccurt of Kansas today gave the following opinion: "It is within the power of the legislature to require car riers to carrv passengers upon freight trains and to fix the measure of their responsibility for injuries suffered by passengers choosing that mode of travel, and one who takes passage on a freight train has no right to expect greater precautions for his safety than slight care nor to hold the carrier re sponsible for any lack of care leps than gross negligence." Jones was given judgment against the Santa Fer for personal injuries he received while trying to board a freight train at Mayfield, Kan., in 1914. Circus Must Pay Damages. When people attend a circus, they have a right to presume that the seats provided by the circus management are safe and the individual patrons are not required to examine the planks in the bleachers to determine whether there is danger. That was the deci sion of the supreme court today in af firming a decision of the fahawnee county district court which gave Bes sie F. Lewis of Cherryvale a judgment against the Sells-Floto Shows com pany. The woman fell from the cir cus bleachers at the Sells-Floto shows in "t912 and broke an arm. She se cured service and brought suit in Shawnee county in ;91o. In her petition the plaintiff recited that she fell twelve feet to the ground when an unsupported board gave way under her weight. The circus man- agement urged thai the woman had not used one diligence and care. The supreme court took another view of the matter. Justice West in an opin ion said: Tmose attending circus per formances need not assume that the seats provided by the management are unsafe or make a critical examination of their fitness for the use which pa trons are invited to make of them. The supreme court affirmed the ac tlon of the Shawnee county district court both in giving the woman judg ment for damages and in overruling a motion by the circus company for a new trial. Patterson Must Go to Prison. It is not reversible error for county attorney to tell a. jury that ac quittal of a defendant in a liquor pro secution will make impossible convic tions on succeeding prosecutions of other defendants. That was the inter pretation of the supreme court today on an issue involving reversible error in the remarks of the county attorney in a liquor case. The prosecution was against Porter Patterson of Topeka, on trial in the Shawnee county district court, charged with persistent viola tion of the prohibitory liquor law. Patterson was charged with seven distinct sales of liquor. He was con victed on three counts. It was charged that he had on three previous occa sions been convicted of violating the pronioitory wwv xne court refused to compel the state to elect on which violation it would stand in seeking to prove tne defendant a persistent viola tor. The county attorney in his argu ment declared that dismissal of the case meant a bar to further prosecu tion in this county. To this remark the defendant took exception and sought to reverse the case in the su preme court. The court affirmed the decision of the lower court. In his gy llaous justice Marshall said: "It is not such misconduct as will cause a judgment of conviction to be reversed for a county attorney in his closing argument to the jury to sav that if the Jury should disregard the evidence of certain witnesses and re turn a verdict of not guilty, it would .be of no use to try either criminal cases and that he might as well dis miss them, for he reason that the state depended on conviction in these cases upon the same class of testimony as that introduced on the trial in which the argument was made." The testimony in the Patterson case was that of "spotters." MILK STRIKE OFF Trouble Ayerted by Granting Raise to Drivers. "Walkout" Called for Midnight Last Sight. Chicago, May 8. The milk wagon drivers' strike which was called at midnight last night was settled after the men had been out but three hours. The strikers' demands were granted In full by the Bowman company, the first concern against whom the strike or der had been put into force. The Bowman company granted the drivers a raise of $2 a week and agreed to eliminate solicitors. It is expected that other companies will follow the lead of the Bowman company before the strike is put into effect against them. RELEASESULLIVAN Held by British in Dublin Castle as Rebel Agitator. American Case Cleared Up by IT. S. Consul. Dublin. May 6 (via London). James M. Sullivan, former American minister to the Dominican republic, who has been imprisoned in Dublin castle for several days on the charge of having been implicated in the Irish rebellion, probably will be released to day, it is said by orticiais. Kdwsrd L. Adams. American consul in Dublin, has been active in behalf of Mr. Sullivan. The present favorable attitude of these officials apparently is due to the efforts of Mr. Adams. DEATHMADElURE George Guillou, Suicide, Uses Both RerolYer and Rope. Found Hanging With Bullet Holt in His Head. There will be no jury inquest in connection with the suicide of George Guillou, whose body was found hang ing in a doorway at 603 N. Kansas avenue at six o'clock last night. Dr. J. H. Rinehart, coroner, stated today that suicide was evident and that he alone would hold an inquest and return the verdict. Guillou's suicide is believed to have been due to worry over ill health. At least that is the only possible reason neighbors and friends can assign. The body was found by Sam Martin of llfl Curtis street and Ben Rutter, who has a store next door to the cleaning shop operated by Guillou. Martin had two suits of clothes in the shop and went after them twice jlesterday afternoon. Being unable to get in he called Rut ter and the two men forced their way in, almost colliding with the hanging body in the darkened room. The suicide's body was hanging by a section of sash cord tied through the transom over a door. Beside the chair on which Guillou probably stood to tie the rope around his neck was a re volver from which one shot had been fired and in Guillou's right temple is a bullet wound. Apparently he died from the revolver shot. Coroner Is Called. Patrolman George A. Jackson was notified of the suicide and he called the coroner. It was necessary to cut the rope in order to lower the body to the floor. No one has recalled seeing Guillou since Wednesday afternoon and Coro ner Rinehart's opinion is tfoat the sui cide was committed that evening or night. Guillou was about sixty years of age and had been in North Topeka for twenty years. He had few close friends and so far as Dr. Rinehart has been able to learn has no relatives. Rinehart stated today that he had heard Gillou had money deposited in a Topeka savings bank and that he would make an investigation some time today. Guillou never talked with acquaintances about money matters but it is said that he has always done a fairly good business and has lived economically. The body was taken to the undertaking parlors of James Talty at 314 Kansas avenue and will remain there until the coroner gives the order for burial.

Billy Sunday, seated at a telephone in Judge Wallace's home, his residence here during his meetings, talked Friday night over the Bell long distance lines to the members of the Missouri State Press association and the School of Journalism gathered at a banquet at Columbia, Mo., 195 miles away. About 300 were at the banquet. "Wil liam Jennings Bryan, James Schermer horn and Arthur Brisbane were among the gue:?ts. Sunday's address follows: Gentlemen:. I am not insensible of the honor you confer upon me by this opportunity to address the editors of Missouri and their guests and I ex- press my deep appreciation now. I have one advantage over you: You dip your pen in ink, pen a scathing denunciation of this or that, pet it in type, your subscriber reads, gets peeved at the first paragraph, tears up the rest and builds his kitchen fire. While you must listen until I am through. To emphasize as strongly as need be the "Responsibility of the American Newspaper" is a task of supreme significance. Next to the church its responsibility to the community is greatest. I cherish personally and I fight for publicly the efforts of great editors who in the modern newspa per strive with unequalled courage and heroism for public service, for better citizenship, for fairness of speech, and for accuracy. Marvel of the Age. The development of the modern newspaper is one of the marvels of the age. Time was not far back when one of the duties of the editor was to dish out over a counter the pills and nos trums he advertised in his columns. This is one of the reasons perhaps why pernicious patent medicine ads hung n so long. In the weekly laboriously printed on the Washington hand presses of frontier days and the mar velous product of editorial skill and mechanical ability of today there is little similarity. The annual increase in newspaper readers all over the country and particularly in the west is legion. It constitutes the sole edu cational influence in the lives of hun dreds of thousands. It provides the only post-graduate courses for thou sands of public school students. 1 hate a straddler, a trimmer, two faced, sails set to catch any breeze, temporizers, equivocators, diplomacy, tact that is nothing but deceit in man or newspaper. If to be independent means to be neutral in everything I'm asm that sheet and it's worth no more to the community than the bundle of rags it came from. I'm strong for the newspaper that's red-hot for some thing or other. I like to see it boil and sizzle from the volume number to the last 3-m dash. I like for a paper to present the various logical viewpoints of disputed questions but after that I want to see the backbone of the boss come to the front with a positive opinion one way or the other. Jhven if tie s against me I better than the spineless mushy molly coddle whose views are no more posi tive than a weathervane is steady in a Kansas cyclone. So I like a ram pant Republican organ and a dogmatic Democratic sheet or a rip-snorting prohibition paper. Not often in eulogies of the modern newspaper have I seen comment on a phase that has delighted me- It seems to me that during the last ten years an increasing amount of sunshine has crept into the columns. I have the greatest admiration for the column and feature conductor and the car toonist who day by day bring smiles and good cheer to the minds of mil- wait to ahedyopr fight -far To the ma-ny da-ties ev-er near yoa mr row sell yonr way de-bar, Tho' in to one heart a lone may fall your fleet the bright and morning star, E Ten from yonr hnm-ble band tbe bread of rr. i m m m w r-l 1 r 1 1 1 now he true.

The other night after leading different sections of the great tab ernacle audience in singing the various phrases of the chorus, Mr. Rode hever announced, "Next lime the reporters will sing the last line-" It was a daring prediction. As called upon by the leader, the thousands on his right sang the first line and they were answered by thousands on his left. The great chorus thundered the third phrase and thensilence, a half minute dramatic stillness. The reporters were only eight, four on one side of the platform and four on the other- Will they venture in the face of that throng? "Brighten the corner where you are!" They've done it- The effect was electric. The laughter and applause were uproarious and spon taneous. This is one of the songs that will be sung at the popular service at the First Baptist church Sunday night. You are invited to learn it there. Firemen Will Perform Before Kansas Visitors.

Washington, May 6. Tomorrow will be Uncle Joe Cannon's eightieth birthday. His political friends and foes in the house of representatives ove him j hour of speech-making filled with bouquets and no brickbats. "Confidentially, I wish they wouldn't have this celebration," the ex-speaker admitted today. "It's too much like bringing flowers to a corpse." "Uncle Joe" is not the extreme par tisan he was of old. That's why men of all parties in the house feel so friendly toward him. Since his "come-back" he has kept out of the limelight. Uncle Joe still harbors a deep-seated hatred of political reformers. Every time he gets a chance he hits one on the head. "I suppose." said Uncle Joe, "a re- lions. I place them in the front rank i rormer has his place.

He suffered a broken nose and the loss of several teeth due to a smashing blow in the face from a club in the hands of his assailant. Miles is a son of Will Miles, a farm er living near Carbondale. As soon as the attack was reported pesses were formed both at Carbondale and Scran ton and a search was made through the country to no avail. Wakarusa people are behind a movement leading to the purchase of a pair of blood hounds and this latest attack strength ens their argument. The men in the posses were unable to pick up any trace of Miles's assailant. The story told by the boy is that he was returning home on horseback and that when he reached a point in the road where both sides were lined with brush some one stepped out in the dark and demanded that he throw up his hands. Before he could comply he was struck across the face with a club. Miles was knocked out of the saddle but hung to the horse's mane. The mysterious assailant was on the other side of the horse. The horse ran and Miles pulled himself back into the saddle, then the assailant began fir ing his revolver at the fleeing rider. He was not struck by any of the bul lets fired. Miles's friends say he has no ene mies that they know of and that he carries no money worth mentioning. Th( motive of the attack is unknown. The matter was not officially reported to tne county officers. BIG SALE IS ON Santa Fe's Semiannual Clearance At tracts Crowds.

Lawrence, Kan., May 6. Kansas de feated Nebraska, 68 to 41, in their ninth annual dual meet on McCook field here Friday in a contest which ran closer than experts had figured and which was roductive of two new local records. Captain Scott and Irwin, of Nebras ka, took both places in the 100 yard dash but Kansas soon caught up by sweeping the mile run. Only after Kansas had swept the two mile did their score loom up and from there on they never were headed. O'Leary established a new Kansas record with a mark of 50 3-5 seconds for the 400 yard run and Wiley, of Nebraska, lowered his college record in the broad jump, with a leap of 2. feet 9 inches. Avert Strike Trouble. New York. May 6. With the for mal acceptance today by the Order of Railway Telegraphers of the gov ernment's offer of mediation, the threatened strike of 5,000 operators on the New York Central and Nickel Plate railway has been averted for the time being. t V w Are eady to Prove If your business keeps two or more horses busy, there's just one reason why you are not using- an International motor truck: You Don't Know What It Will Do for You That's true. If you knew how much actual cash it saves, you would buy an Inter national Motor Truck because you could hardly makea better paying: investment. If it added only twenty-five cents a day to your net profits that would be better than 10 per cent interest on the price of a Model M. ,i An International Motor Truck will save more than that for any man whose work s keeps two horses busy. That is not all it does, by any means. There are many angles that will interest you for your own business plans. -Jegg:MwTT r -to -yJa tan Four Models Four Low Prices MA, 1,000 lbs. capacity, air-cooled $600 M, 1,000 lbs. capacity, water-cooled $710 E, 1,500 lbs. capacity, water-cooled $950 F, 2000 lbs. capacity (Chassis only) $1,500 All Prices Cash, F.

Difference In Time an Interest ing Event These Says. Where Does the Day Begin an Unanswered Question. Suppose some friend should ask you, "where does the day begin T" could you answer It? Few know that the date line, or where the day begins, is marked by an irregular line running south from Bering Strait over the Pacific ocean on both sides of the 180th degree, west longitude. And fewer still know that on the east side of this line it is Sunday morning and on the west side Monday morning at the same rising of the sun. The time comparison of the world is an interesting study and while most people can tell you the approximate distance from one large city to another there are few who can tell you the dif ference in hours between Kansas City and London. When it is 12 o'clock noon In Lon don It is 6 a. m. in Kansas City, five jn Denver, and four in San Francisco. There' is only nine minutes differ ence in the time between Paris and London for when it is exactly noon in London it is only nine minutes past the noon hour in Paris, yet there is exactly one hour's difference between London and Berlin time. In far off Tokio the noon hour in London represents exactly 10:80 p. m while In Honolulu it is 1:30 in the morning. Down in South America, at Bio De Janerio, it is nine o'clock In the morn ing when the Britishers are going to their noon, day lunch while staid old Boston is just beginning to open its eyes for it is then only seven o'clock there. Right here in Topeka when the six o'clock whistles blow in the morning the noon hour church bells are ringing in London and just about the time To peka citizens are laying away the busi ness cares of the day preparatory to taking the wife and kids to the movies the Londoners are putting in the best licks at sleeping for it is near one o'clock in the morning, there. 2 MOTTO EXHAUSTS nailers orimeresttotnotorcar end motorcycle owners inTopeka and Kansas. Velie Experiences Demand. The fact that the English, German. French and all other European auto mobile factories have been taken over by their respective governments for the manufacture of war munitions, has caused a shortage of cars in all coun tries heretofore dependent upon the European source or. suddiv. As a re sult American manufacturers are ex periencing an enlarged demand from all quarters of the globe. The faraway buyer in Australasia. China, Egypt, or wherever he may be, depends upon the past reputation of the manufacturer and his known in tegrity as much as any other thing in ouying nis car. in tne llent of the world-wide disturbances confidence in the product is an absolute necessity along with quality methods of building. The Velie Motor Vehicle Co.. manu facturers of the Velie Six. have recent ly inaugurated a special export depart ment to handle the ever increasing correspondence and detail pertaining to foreign Business. Velie literature Is also being printed in several languages iu eumina me necessity or Transla tion on the part of both foreign dealer and owner. Mechanical Conveyor. The mechanical conveyor system in stalled in the Paige plant several months ago for the final assembly of cars has been an important factor in the speeding up of production which enables the Paige to show an increase of 300 per cent over this period of the season last year. The mechanical conveyor is a mov ing platform several hundred feet long which operates like an endless chain. Cars in embryo are fastened to this platform and they move alons: one group of workmen to the next as vital parts of the chassis are attached. The rear axle is the first part plaeed on the platform, the frame, tank, steering wheel, power plant and other Darts follow in their proper order and a real car, capable of running off under its own power, emerges from the other end of the conveyor in a surprisingly short time This is the last word in factory sys tem and efficiency and has done won ders in advancing the work of produc tion. The Paige conveyor has enabled the Paige to show 300 per cent prog ress in production, to say nothing of economics and improvements in man ufacture. Clean Upholstery. One of the most old fashioned and. according to many who have used it, one of the best methods of cleaning and brightening leather upholstery, is to rub it well with a cloth or sponge dipped in white of egg that has been beaten up a little to prevent its being stringy, and then give it a final rub bing with a dry, soft cloth to remove all traces of the egg. On Tire Chains. When installing tire chains It is not advisable to have them too tight. If the chains are held in a fixed position the tread of the tire is apt to be loos ened at these points. If the chain is slightly loose it will work around to different positions and cause less in jury to the tread. Motorcycle Season. The motorcycle season opened with an event at Roanoke, Va. Ray Wei shaar of Wichita, formerly of Topeka, riding a Harley-Davidson motorcycle, won three out of four of the events and established a new state record for one mile on a half mile dirt track. Approve Naval Reserve. Washington. May 5. The senate naval committee today approved the navy department's bill for a naval re- serve of former officers and elisted men, available merchant marine offi cers, sailors and other persons whose occupations fit them to enroll for war duty.

Step on the little button 10 months after date and you'll readily note the inequality. One is sluggish, "dead", without emotion, and re sponds to the touch with the speed of old-time oxen re sponding to the lash. The other is alive, alert, ready; radiates desire to plunge ahead. This is the 3400 r. p. m. Chalmers kind. The other kind is the species known to the trade as "one-year" cars. Chalmers makes a five-year car. There's many an old 1909 Chalmers 80 Blue Bird giving a good account of itself today. You'll find the everlasting pep there five years from the day you take your first turn at the wheel Largely because of the 8400 r. p. m. engine. Which delivers mighty power with easy effort. It's mostly in the design. The pistons are aluminum, about two pounds lighter per piston; the reciprocating parts lighter, which eases up the thrust on the bearings. Then the crank-shaft, which is very heavy, and bal anced to the weight of a hair in a special Chalmers device, spins at the rate of 8400 revolutions per minute. It means excellent reserve power. For at 10 miles an hour the engine is turning up only 500 r. p. m. while at SO she is doing about 1000 r. p. m. So that at excessive road speed she has the punch to deliver when called upon. 16 fo of her power is used at 10 miles an hour. So that she has 60 to 84 when a twisting, hilly road looms ahead, when a sharp corner with a rugged grade hoves in sight when the man ahead is showing you too much dust. You'll like the 8400 r. p. m. Chalmers for one single little reason. She sure can perform. Ask your dealer about Chalmers service inspection coupons, negotiable at all Chalmers dealers everywhere. This system is a most important consideration in buying your car. Five-Passenger Touring Car, $1090 Detroit. Three-Passenger Cabriolet, $1440 Detroit. Two-Passenger Roadster, $1070 Detroit.

As her claim was pre sented after four months had expired, it is stated, she has no claim against the city. The matter was referred to the city attorney and Commissioner Tandy. NEXT WEEK'S FORECAST Plains states Will Have Thunder Showers Latter Portion. Washington, May 6. The weather bureau's forecast for the week begin nning May 7, shows: During the coming week tempera tures above the seasonal average are indicated for the middle Atlantic, south Atlantic and Gulf states, the middle plains states and the great central valleys. Moderate tempera lures are probably in the region of the great lakes, while in the northern plains states, the Rocky mountain and plateau regions and the Pacific states, temperatures will average below the sesponal normal. A change to con siderably lower temperatures will overspread the northwestern states, the northern Rocky mountain region and the north Pacific states Tuesday or Wednesday and will be attended by local frosts in this region. An extensive area of low pressure that now covers the northwestern stales and western Canadian provinces will advance slowly eastward, reaching the middle west by the middle of the week and the eastern states the latter part of the week. It will cause un settled weather and local showers riurlng the next several days in the region of the great lakes, the upper Mississippi valley, the northwestern states and the northern Pacific states. By the middle of the week, local showers and thunder storms are prob able over the great central valleys and the plains Ftates and the latter part of the week in the middle Atlantic states and throughout the south. The weather will be generally fair the first half of the week throughout the southern states and the great cen tral valley. CHURCH NOTICES Third Presbyterian church. Fourth j and Hranner streets, S.

This beautiful type that has for its motif the Old English, is modern ized sufficiently to meet the requirements of the average housekeeper, and will make a beautiful home, even without the magnificent ivy which the pic ture of the exterior shows clambering up its walls and chimney. The plan suggested for this exterior is quite a spacious one, as will be seen. Three bedrooms upon the ground floor, and a bathroom, but if one building this does not desire the splendid large owner's bed chamber, with private bath and dressing room off of it, a beautiful apartment can be made by taking all the space of the two front rooms, and the bedroom wall for this purpose, leaving bath as it is, and using rear left hand corner bed room for dressing room, and this could well be done for there are three very nice bed chambers on the second floor, and by putting a little dormer in the rear roof, the room marked for "storage" would make a splendid bathroom for the second floor. The exterior of the entire house is stucco, but cobblestones have been used in most effective fashion for the porch railing and massive outside chimney the latter being almost always a distinctive feature of the Eng lish cottage. The gray plaster of the exterior, framed by a brown oak stained wood effect for the wood trimmings, and a soft moss green or dull faded out red for the roof shingles will make a most effective color com bination for this design.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL SATURDAY EVENING. MAY 6, 1916 WY BLOCKADE Following Germany's Demands, British Make Concessions. Relaxation in Four Important Cases Announced. Londsn. May Great Britain has announced a relaxation of her rigor ous blockade in (our important cases. This action, taken on the very day that the German note calls upon the United States to bring as much pres sure to bear on England as on Ger many for the observation of interna tional law, is signifcant. Lord Kobert Cecil, minister of war trade, made the announcement. The concessions, that Great Britain has made follow: First Business documents from shippers to and from neutral countries will be placed in a separate mail bag. which will receive immediate exam ination and will proceed on the ship on which it was originally mailed. No guarantee will be given that this 1 j bag will not be opened but snippers will be assured that there will be no j delay. Restore Duton snip. Second A prize court order re stores to its owners the Dutch steamer Alwina. Condemnation had been ask ed on the ground that the ship when seized at Falmouth had been or was attempting to supply coal to German cruisers in the Pacific. The court ruled that while the Alwina had been carrying contraband and had false papers, her cargo had never been de livered -to the enemy. Third. Appeal granted to the own ers of the Swedish steamer Zamora. The steamer with its cargo of copper wa wweized last June and later requi sitioned by the British government. Lord Robert hinted that it might be necessary to abandon several blockad lng'orders as a result of this decision, whffch was rendered by the privy council. Itclcasc Teutonic Prisoners. Kourth. Immediate release of 3S Germans and Austrians taken from the American steamship China was or dered. Great Britain admits itself in the; wrong in regard to the facts out lined in the American remonstrance. The replyi however, will be couched in Bueh terms that no general precedent will be established. The state department at Washing ton, has contended that the facts in the case of the steamship China are similar to those of the famous Trent affair. While it is not known what attitude the British reply will adopt toward this argument. Lord Cecil gave it as his personai opinion that the two cases present wide differences.

VAWTER BOUND OVER Man Cliarscd With Attacking Miss Curran Held for Trial. Alfred Vawter, charged with attack ing Miss Bertha Curran, teacher at Waveland school, south of the city, was bound over to the district court following his preliminary hearing in the court of Topeka Friday. The probabilities are that he will be tried in September. Meanwhile he will have his freedom on a bond furnished by his mother. The preliminary hearing took up practically the whole day in the court of Topoka. John Schenck appeared as attorney for Vawter. Rad Lee repre sented the state. The county attorney- had subpoenaed a lot of witnesses from the Wakarusa neighborhood but put only two or three of them on the stand. Schenck took the rest of the state's witnesses and put them on the stand as witnesses for his client. The courtroom was crowded with whole families from the Waveland neighborhood through the entire day. They made it a sort of vacation and there was frequent laughter in the court room. Judge Hugh Fisher con tinuously rapped for order but on more than one occasion the attorneys got into wrangles that forced him to abandon his judicial dignity, turn his back to the courtroom crowd and smile. Charles Hixon, deputy sheriff who handled the case, was on the stand and was telling of the manner in which Bertha Curran described her assail ant. "She said, said Hixon, "that he had a sort of prominent nose nd a prom inent and peaked face." Then he made a motion with both hands dem onstrating the kind of face he was de scribing. Schenck made fun of his descrip tion. Hixon tried to explain. "For instance, he said, "if I was describing you I would say you had a peaked nose.' "Did she say her assailant had a nose like mine? asked Schenck. "Well, yes, something like yours," said Hixon. "'Well, did you have me in mind when she gave you her description demanded Schenck. 'No, I don't believe I did," was the reply. There was no more court proceed ing for two or three minutes or until the crowd quieted down and Judge Fisher was able to face the attorneys and witnesses.

An odd problem is faced by the committee in charge of the entertain ment course for next season by the Young People's Societies of Topeka churches. A week ago a meeting was held to start the members on a drive for the selling of 1,100 course tickets. And now the "Drive" may have to be called off for too many tickets are being sold. Next Monday night a meeting will be held to make final arrangements for the course and to stop work on the ticket selling. Nearly twelve hundred persons have signed up for the tickets and the workers are getting more subscribers constantly. The capacity of available houses is only fifteen hundred and it is feared that more than this amount may be sold. If the new auditorium proposition goes through it will mean that the "Church Entertainment Course" will have to be held elsewhere and there is no auditorium in the city that seats over fifteen hundred. Some of the attractions which the new course will bring to Topeka are Evan Williams, famous tenor, and "Walker Whiteside in Israel Zangw ill's play, "The Melt ing Pot' All members of young people's so cieties are urged to be present at the meeting Monday evening.

At the last momen she expressed the opinion that she would surely be ar rested today. The meeting was in welcome of Emma Goldman, the anarchist, on her release from the Queens county jail after serving a sentence of 15 days for imparting information about birth control.

BY DAMON RtNYOJr. In the Field in Mexico. May 6. Twrcn tt lnnir road that leads from the town of Tomaohio to the town of Minaca. there passed last sunaay a weird array of bewhiskered. blear eyed, ragged men astride stumbling horses and sagging burros, in what was at once a funeral cortege, the strangest and saddest funeral cortege that could possibly be conceived, and a triumphal procession. It was the return of Colonel George Dodd and his Seventh cavalrymen from the victory over the Villa bandits at Tomachic, bringing with them their dead and wounded. At the tail of the column plodded two weary mules. Er.oh mule bore a burden that could scarcely be mistaken. Even the Mexican peons in the fields along the road understood the signifi cance of those grisly bundles strapped across the backs of the long-eared ani mals and lifted their hats respectfully. Thrown lengthwise over the withers of the dumb pall bearers and secured neck to feet by ropes that ran like girths under the bellies of the mules so the poor torn bodies of the two American troopers who died at To machic came to the town of Minaca, with the dust of Dodd's victorious col umn as their funeral shroud. A Dumb Procession. There was no music. There was lit tle talking. There was only the clump of hoofs on the dusty road and the rat tle of accoutrements as the cortege passed. Red eyes gleamed at the ob server from behind masses of dusty whiskers and there was an occasional subdued exclamation as a trooper spoke to a tottering horse and then the procession passed on, ragged and dirty, and their dead went on behind them. A captain, noted as he walks the paths of peace and plenty for the im peccability of his attire, wore a pair of Mexican tejruas, or native shoes, not really shoes at all, but wrappings of leather, on his feet. A lieutenant had a Mexican hat on his head. Non-commissioned officers and private soldiers wore Mexican trousers and Mexican coats and all wore trappings of rude patchings and makeshift apparel, i Thus they came and thus they passed, fresh from their victory at Tomachic, and behind them on the plodding mules they brought their soldier dead. They buried them Sun day afternoon in a remote corner of the shabby little cemetery in the shabby little town of Minaca. Strange, Sad Scene. That was the strangest and saddest scene of this whole campaign. Permission was secured from the Mexican authorities at Minaca to give the Americans a soldier burial, accord ing to the code of the United States army. Most of Dodd's command was present at the interment. A truck train just reached Minaca that after noon and the dust stained dare devils of the gas hogs that ply the trails be tween the so-called American front and the border, attended the services. They stood in the group about the graves, their dusty caps in hand and the whites of their eyes showing through their inevitable masks of grime. A wide trench had been dug in the remote corner of the shabby little cem- etery. well apart from the weed-grown graves of the Mexican dead. Rude i boxes had been knocked together by the soldiers to take the place of cof i fins- The dead men were wrapped in i their own olive drab blankets, which 1 were stenciled with their regiment and with their company number, aa are I the blankets of all soldiers, and be sides the blankets mantas were also wrapped about each corpse. A manta is the section or canvas usea to cover the packs on the backs of the pack animals- When all was ready and the boxes were lowered into the trench, a lieu tenant of the Seventh stepped forward with a tattered little Testament in his hand. They used to call him "The Millionaire Corporal" when he was in the signal corps, and stopped at the Willard hotel in Washington as an enlisted man, to the horror of the elite, but he is a lieutenant now. The last Rites. From his tattered little Testament he read the Ninety-First Psalm, read ing In a low voice, but it carried out over the silent throng silent save for an occasional sniffle from some sol dier. In the background stood a num ber of Mexican residents of the town of Minaca. hats in hands, gazing won deringly at the scene. When the lieutenant finished read ing, a trumpeter came up and from the twisted brass tubes of his cavalry bugle flowed the sobbing notes of "Taps," beginning soft and sweetly low, and then rising and filling until the soldiers' farewell catried up and far away. Maybe it carried to the dim hills that wall in the valley where Minaca squats in dust and squalor; maybe it carried clear to the spot where poor Don McGregor Ilea buried with a score of Carranza soldiers, and. if so. maybe it carried to him something of that hope for his eternal peace that is In the hearts of all his friends. Don McGregor was a consumptive newspaperman from Denver and Chi cago. He was killed in Minaca by the Vlllistas a few weeks ago, at the same time they split Blankenburg, the Ger man, wide open with a eabre, and he is buried in the hills. They put a bottle containing the names and the circumstances of their i death in the graves of the dead sol idiers; they put up rude head boards, and then Dodd's column remounted i their horses and burros and went on j down the road and the dusty demons I of the gasoline fliers climber back Into their seats and resumad their cussing where they left off. Back In that shabby little cemetery In the shabby little town of Minaca sleep the soldier dead, and the won dering natives still go that way to etare at the mounds that mark the resting place of "Los Grlngoes." How They Died. One of t:ie soldiers was shot through the head In a charge up a hill in the Tomachic fight. He died instantly. The other was a horse holder back in the town when the fight first started. He stood near an adobe house, the reins of a number of horses gathered in his fingers, watching the scrap and disdaining cover. A bullet hit him in the stomach. He crumpled up slow ly and easilv. He made no outcry, but lust whimpered a little am he was sinking to the ground. He had been hit by a sniper firing from a cave high up the hillside. Al most immediately the sniper was killed by Charley Tracey, a scout from Douglas, Aril., who waa guiding Dodd column, who stood near the stricken soldier and who dropped the sniper with a government Springfield rifle at "battle sight," or 800 yards. The soldier did not die for some hours. Then the end came to him in a 'dobe house, which waa being used for a temporary hospital. There were a number of soldiers in the room where he was lying, suffering great pain with stoic fortitude, when Tracey, the scout, entered to Inquire about the wounded. All the soldiers hailed Tracey, who had become rather fa mous among the men of Dodd's col umn, and the mortally wounded troop er recognized the scout's voice. Say, Tracey, he called, weakly, 'how many did you get?" And that was all. WOMEN TO GAMP Training School at Chevy Chase to Open May 16. Fair Recruits Must Rise at 6: SO in the Morning.

Twas enough to make a man wonder. Of course, it was only one game in a five months' schedule. But any team that allows its opponents to make nine runs in two innings is not playing pen nant winning ball. The Savages have now demonstrated to themselves and to the other clubs that the Wolves are not unbeatable. In fact, they were easier for the Sav ages Friday than St. Joe was any time the Savages played the Drummers. And every indication is that the Beer- less Princess bubble has burst and that the Wolves have begun slipping as everyone has predicted they would. But why shouldn't they slip? The current week's Western league aver ages show that Red Shirt Jimmy Jack son is batting at the tail end of the list with an average of only .171. And when this is the best their leader can do. what can you expect from the slaves in the ranks? The Wolves have a slow moving team, and the only reason they have had such a spectacular spurt was he cause their pitchers happened to get into condition quicker than the pitch ers of the other clubs. In explaining how he happened to become an acrobat. Vincent Tydeman, whose pictures appear elsewhere on this page, said: "When I was a boy I took up with an old circus man in Camden, N. J., and he taught me some tricks. I liked to do them and kept hanging around him unt'.l he had taught me about all he knew. Then he went away and was gone for sev eral months, and I did not know what had become of him. But I kept on practicing what he had taught me, and one day he came back and I immedi ately took him out and showed him how proficient I had become. He liked my work so well that he framed up a vaudeville stunt for us, and we went out together. That was the begin ning." Tydeman was in vaudeville for 12 vears. and last winter was the first time he did not work at the actor's trade since beginning It. He says he inorf- winter riotniicA It had a tendency to make him nervous and that he wanted to have a gooa year in baseball this season.

Plenty of Moisture In State, Says Weather Bureau. April, 1916, came within one of be ing a record breaker for cool, cloudy weather and heavy spring snows in Kansas, according to the reports of 12S stations of the weather bureau, which cover conditions over the entire state. There was an abundance of moisture in almost every county. The average amount for the state was the heaviest that has occurred in any month since last September, and in the western third there was more pre cipitation than fell during the five previous months combined. It was a fine month for wheat and alfalfa, but a very backward one for spring work and corn, oats and truck crope. All fruit, except peaches, came through the month in good shape. Little Damage by Frosts. The average temperature was only 3 degrees higher than that of March, preceding, and g degrees lower than that of April of last year. There were no unusual extremes of temperature, but there were very few days when it ranged above normal. Freezing weath er and killing frosts extended to all parts of the state on the 9th and pre vailed again in the western half on the 27th, but the damage done was remarkably small, the only effect no- ticeaoie being to give alfalfa a set back. The average precipitation over the eastern third of the state was 3.07 inches: the middle third. 2.49 inches: the western third, 2.04 inches, and for the entire state, 2.69 inches, which is 0.15 Inches above normal. There were more days on which measurable pre cipitation fell than in any other April on record in Kansas. The heaviest monthly amount reported was 4.63 inches at Fall River and the least, 0.85 inch at Phillipsburg. Heavy Snowfall. On the 6th and 7th there was a gen eral snow which exceeded 10 inches in several counties in the western half and averaged nearly 4 inches over the entire state, though there were a few counties where it was hardly measur able. It melted very rapidly but the water from it all soaked into the ground. fQOJ ll VI

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL SATURDAY EVENING, MAY 6. 1916 MAY BE MRS. GUNNESS? TO BUILD BIGGER College Hill Bakery Has Grown From 500 Loaves to 10,000. This Increase in Five Short Years Still Growing. PLANS NEW BAKERY SOON Sew Building With New Ovens Will Be Done in 2 Months. Making College Hill and Kleen 3Iaid Breads Exclusively. G. L. Jordan, proprietor of the Col lege Hill Bakery is celebrating the fifth anniversary of his control of the bread baking plant at 1511 Lane street. And in line with the progress the institution has made under his management is letting the contract for the enlargement of the present plant from 10,000 loaf capacity to 15.000. The present plant was constructed four years, ago with the view of mak ing additions and extensions when needed. Mr. Jordan began business in a little one-story frame building on Fifteenth street and in one year the necessity for larger quarters was ap parent. The second plant was built Just around the corner from the little old stand, but the foundation was laid for a bakory that would accommodate the businets for yeaTS to come. While but one story and basement, the sec ond story could easily be added and that is the plan of re-arrangement. When completed, the new bakery will have all the latest, most scientific features of successful baking plants. New ovens will be added, bringing the capacity of the plant up from 10,000 loaves dally to 16,000. The second floor will be used for the dougn mixing room and a por tion of the space will be separated off for Mr. Jordan's private offices. The dough mixing room has a complete system of insulation, enabling the operators to hold the temperature even. The best possible results with the sponge or dough can be obtained In a baken so equipped. The contract for the construction of the new bakery has been awarded to V. M. Spencer Son. HUGE PROFITS POSSIBLE ON $10 OR $25 IN OKLAHOMA OIL One Company Recently Paid $1,400 Dividend on $25 Share Oklahoma Teems With Tales of Fabulous Fortune Gained Quick. THINK WESTFIELD LEASE IS TWIN TO HEALDTON Oil Scout Says He Has Found Site for the Next Big Strike State Already Has 105 Big Oil Fields Oil at Record Price. Oklahoma City. Ok., May 6th. How would you like to have been a share holder in the Quaker Oil company when this newspaper report came out a short time ago? It reads: "K. H. Jennings of the Pure Oil Company an nounced Saturday that the directors of the Quaker Oil Company, the produc ing corporation in the Mid Continent (Oklahoma-Kansas) field, had de clared a dividend of $1400 a share. The stock has a par value of J25 a share ana is held by the Pure Oil Company The total amount of the dividend is $2,800,000." The casual newspaper observer at distant parts, when seeing an occa sional report of this eort in his local paper, can't begin to realize the great glorious truth of the Oklahoma Oil industry The fact is. that this is only one of hundreds of almost unbeliev able tales of fabulous fortune that are appearing all the time In the Oklahoma papers. Another report, bear ing a Marlow, Okla homa, date line, save "The Healdton Oil and Gas company this week mailed checks to its stockholders, paying 800 dividend. This is only one of several that will be mailed in the near future." Hundreds and hun dreds of people have been made rich in Okiahoma oil during the past few months and a newspaper which would try to recount ESrfbSj the whole wonderful IllHlury ui nny niuuou; could well 'devote an entire edition to the subject. On February first, this year, there had been developed one hundred and five distinct fields and the 1915 pro duction was 13,000,000 barrels, which, if sold at present price would be worth $200,000,000. Of these, the newest and probably the largest is the Healdton held in Carter county, which was discovered by a well known char acter, which the townspeople of Ard more called "Oil-on-the-brain" Mc Gee. A half dozen millionaires have been made by this field and the num ber who have grown very rich Is hard to estimate. With three partners whom McGee finally induced to Join- him, the first well was drilled between what Is now the Loco Gas Held, a few miles north west and an olu asphalt bed a few miles to the south-R"t. The strike i a gusher and being purely a wild cat proposition 20u miles from other production thousands rushed to -the scene, paying fabulous prices for leases. But every field has Its Imme diate limits so instead of paying pro hibitive prices for acreage there, one Oil scout, Robert Berney, ducked from the Btanrpede and began a search for another spot, between, an old Asphalt bed (of which there are several in that section) and Gas Wells on the other side. Four miles northwest of such a. bed in Stephens county he found it and quietly leased over a thousand acres. It Ilea In exactly the same relation to this asphalt bed as did Healdton and sure enough the gas wells were found a short time later about four miles northwest. McGee's theory was right at Healdton and Berney firmly believes he has the twin to the Heald ton in his discovery in the next coun ty, His belief seems to be pretty ft 5 J Advertisement.

The PI Kappa Delta fraternity at Kansas Wealeyan had a short life. When Methodists over the confer ence learned that a local chapter had been installed in Kansas Wesleyan several took their pens in hand to tell President Harmon what they thought of fraternities. Their opinion was so bad that be fore leaving for the general conference at Saratoga, N. Y., he advised the lo cal chapter to disband, return its char ter and wait until sentiment over the conference was not against fraterni ties. The chapter did this although it continues to be affiliated with the state organization. strongly substantiated by the Mc Mann Oil Company, which has re cently been leasing all around this locality and has started a mammoth test well Just a short distance north of Berne-y's Westfield lease. Berney has organized a $100,000 company to develop this valuable ground. Only enough stock to Insure an ample drilling fund is being sold at the par value of $1 per share, which Is full paid and non-assessable. The stock has been actively on the market but a few weeks, but subscriptions are pouring in from all sides small amounts in most caseB but the fund is rapidly being completed. 'We stand a chance to get a dry hole, of course," says Berney. "That is the reason we are not welcoming subscriptions of more than $100 from the people of average means. But the fact that out of 4,603 wells drilled in Oklahoma last year, only 18 failed to produce oil or gas, makes it a pretty safe bet. that with our al most perfect prospects, we can hardly lose. It seems to me when we see all around us the millions that are being made, here in Oklahoma, that every man owes it as a duty to himself to get hold of a few shares at least in some good Oklahoma OH Company. The trifling few dollars it takes to make a man rich when invested in the right place at the right time, are so few it's really a shame not to grasp the opportunity. Over in the neighboring Healdton field there are many wells producing from 1.000 to 4.000 barrels a day. Even a thousand barrel well on our lease would bring the Company at the pres ent price of oil, over $500,000 a year. But that's small compared with what our 1,000 acres of leases would be worth if we get such a well. We can figure anywhere from $50 to $5,000 an acre. At only $100 an acre our leases would be worth a million dol lars. h!1 on1 thlnf about no matter how much or how little anyone invests In this company he will get a fair square deal a 'or his money.

John L- Sullivan, the world's cham pion fighter who ia to appear at Crawford's tonight In "Honest Hearts auU Willing Hands" arrived in Topeka this afternoon, on the Union Pacific, from Kansas City. There was a large crowd at the depot but Sullivan was not there to be looked at and be did not pass in front of the crowd but went directly to a carriage which was in waiting at the side door of the Union Pacific hotel and was driven to the Throop. There was another large group of local sports gathered at the Throop. They all made a rush to see the great man, but Jack Barnett, bis manager, stepped out of his carriage first, Sulli van following, and passed directly into the hotel. Sullivan did not go down to the dining room but had his dinner sent up to him. It was on the program that he should take a ride around the city and at 2 :30 John Me Bee's hack was driven up to the hotel entrance. A large crowd had assembled on Fourth street between the hotel and the court bouse. They were presently rewarded by seeing Sullivan appear in a gray checked suit, silk hat and carrying his overcoat over his arm. He and his companion got in and drove away. He begged to be excused to the reporters. C. Harris of El Dorado, ts In To peka today. Hon. David Overmeyer is attending court at Alma. Ex-Governor George T. Anthony, who has been travelling over eastern Kan sas a great deal lately says the pros pects for good crops have never been better than now. The Missouri river packet line Is a last year's toy. It doesn't interest Kansas City any more. The Topolobampo people held a meeting in the Trades Assembly ball last night to Inform people what their Topolobampo colony is Hke. Mr. Hoffman said he had lived in Topolobampo for some time. He had frone there because he wished to live u the community where his pet theory of co-operation was practiced. "It would be hard to tell Just what we sre," he said. "We are not single taxers because we do not have any taxes. We do not believe in occupying the lands severally for all lands are bld for tbe benefit of the community. We do not believe In legislation be cause every member is to treat bis neighbor as he would himself. Our colony consists of 200 families who settled foer years ago on the Puerte river thirty miles north of the bay of Topolobampo and ten miles north of the site of Pacific City our future town. We bave located a city twenty miles from the bay of Topolo bampo, covering 21,000 acres. This is to be the ideal city of the world. Not a beast or a fowl is to be allowed with in its limits, the farm being the place for them, which will be only a few minutes ride from the city by the elec tric line which we are going to con struct. We live in adobe houses and have plenty to eat,, provisions not be ing much higher than they are here and plentiful as the country along the Fuerte river is settled up. The ther mometer does not get above 102 de grees but it stays pretty warm and has a tendency to weaken one unless ac climated. We are troubled with taran--tulas, bed-bugs, centipedes, scorpions aud gnats. A railroad is being sur veyed to connect with the Mexican Cen tral and twenty-five miles of it will be built this fall. We do not have to be come Mexican citizens and are ex empt from war conscription for ten years. "In fact we propose to have a little world all our own constructed on tbe basis of equal rights and justice for -ail."

Col. A. K. Owens, the originator of the scbeme was then called to the plat form. "Do you bave any trouble as signing men to the different depart ments of labor," he was asked. "No, said he. "when a man wishes to become a member he fills oat an application stating his occupation, bis wife's and bow many children he has. He signs a pledge that he will do everything in his power for the good of the colony. If he does not prove a success in what he undertakes we put him into something that he can do. "But if you have no system of wage earning how can a mnn buy anything" "The amount of work a man can do In one day is the basis of calculation and we issue so irnch scrip for the work that the man does." TOWN IS CHANGED Nearly All Jewell City Pioneers Hare Passed Away. One of Best Little Communities In Kansas Today. Jewell City, Kan., May The changes In Jewell City in the last 25 years have been of a permanent kind. xt was 40 years ago and more when the State Journal representative first visited this town. At that time the county seat of Jewell county was named Jewell Center, now Mankato. Mails were badly mixed on account of the similarity of names Jewell City and Jewell Center. They are good towns- yet. Forty years ago the writer met in Jewell City on his first visit such men as J. D. Robertson, J.C Postlethwaite, James Keisey, M. F. Knappenberger, B. F. Wallace, R. W. Hill, A. U. Marks, Elden Barker, O. N. Gray, J. W. George and Dr. O. W. Hughes, repre sentative citizens and business men.
