Later he was made superintendent, then assistant general superintendent. From 1896 until 18&0 he was general manager. In 1899 until 1906 he waa vice president. In 1906 he was made president. He was president also of the C. St. P., M. O. railroad, vice president of the Su perior Coal company and director of the Merchants' Loan Trust company. Mr. Gardner about thirty-five years ago was train dispatcher for the Santa Fe company at Emporia. He was pro moted from time to time and finally was called to Chicago to be made di vision superintendent of the Chicago Northwestern road. It was his rule. when he held this place, to walk over every mile of track in his jurisdiction at least once a year. Mr. Gardner was promoted by the Northwestern to the office of general superintendent and later was made vice president. A few years ago he was chosen president of that great system. About thirty years since he married Annie Riggs- of Kmporia, youngest daughter of the late Stephen B. Riggs, and sister of Mrs. J. Finley and Chas. Riggs, now of Emporia.

ITSELF" Mom am Old pniirr WOLVES IN TOWN Weather 31 an, However, Pre vented Game This Afternoon. Jackson Refuses to Play Doubleheader Sunday. The weather man consulted tb Three Fates and they told: him that the most humiliating defeat they had ever received would be administered to Jimmy Jackson and his Wolves If they played the Savages this after noon. So the weather man had com passion upon them and induced Jupi ter Pluvius to make the heavens weep, causing; the postponement of the first Topeka meeting of the two teams and bringing disappointment to hundreds of local fans. t The Wolves came in from St. Josepn at 11:36 o'clock this morning, and de spite the poor showing they have been making Jackson and Roaring Bill Rappe forced out their bold faces and handed out the "dope" with a free hand. "It's too bad it rained." Jimmy said. "Now we will only have a chance to beat you two games instead of three. It's too bad." He Side Steps. However, Jackson was given his chance a short time later when Savage requested a doubleheader for Sunday, but Sir James promptly refused the proffered opportunity. Jackson would not budge from his stand against this, despite the efforts of the local management, and Savage was asked if he knew why the Wolves were sidestepping. He said he did not, but that it appeared to him that Jack son had something in his throat, that was choking him. Later Savage put in a long distance call for President Ebrlght of the Wichita club, asking for the doubleheader in spite of Jack son's objections, but at the time of ge ing to press he had not been able to talk to the Wichita magnate. Jackson maintained his bombastic optimism w hen questioned regarding the strength or his team. "I don't know where we will finish," he said, "hut you can bet we will finish ahead of Topeka. I predict that the Savages will 'bli-w before the first of June." RAIN WAS A SOAKER Precipitation Amounted to .90 of an Inch and Was Widespread.

ONLY MAN WHO CAN WIN Organization Selects Roosevelt as Best Possibility. Members of All Parties Flock ing, to Colonel's Standard. Oyster Bay, N. Y May 12. Theo dore Roosevelt last night swept aside all doubt as to his attitude toward the presidential nomination. v He is in the fight to the finish. In a recent letter to Colonel Roose velU Guy Emerson, national secretary of the Roosevelt Nonpartisan 4eague, saijfc.. "The platform that is absolutely vital in our opinion for the safety of the country during the four momen tous years which lie ahead is the plat form strongly stated in your recent Chicago speech. We believe that you are the only man now available who can carry that platform into effect and who at the same time has any chance of being elected." In his reply. Colonel Roosevelt once more outlines the principles of patriot ism 'and preparedness which he has declared to be the dominant issues, and says: "Your league emphasizes its devo tion to these principles and supports me only as representing the principles'. This is emphatically the proper atti tude to take; and because this is your attitude and..because you are working in this spirit, I very earnestly approve your work." Brushes Away Doubt. It can be said with certainty that behind this declaration is a plain pur pose of dissipating all rumors as to Colonel Roosevelt's attitude toward other candidates for the presidential nomination at Chicago and of dispell ing all doubt as to his position in the fight.. He is a candidate on the platform which he has outlined. He will remain in the fight until the issue has been decided. With this declaration a vig orous campaign is inaugurated which will be waged with the utmost vigor until 'the tickets have been named at Chicago one month hence.

Sandusky, May 12. Fire which has already practically consumed one four-story business block and has been communicated to another after originating in the Carroll livery barn which was destroyed, today threaten ed the downtown retail business dis trict and resulted in City Manager Ward asking for help from the To ledo and Elyria fire departments. The conflagration started from un known causes in the Carroll livery barn on Market street. A strong wind swept- the flames into the old four story Schmidt block at the southeast corner of Market and Wayne streets and at noon this building was doomed. Wind Carries Brands. The wind carried fire brands from this burning structure diagonally across the corner to the four story Kuntz block which is threatened with destruction. If this building goes the fire may spread further west into the very heart of the business district. A strong gale is making difficult the work of the firemen, several of whom have been slightly injured. If the Schmidt and Kuntz blocks are both razed the loss will reach $300,000. big Lire SINKS Torpedoed Without Warning, Says Berlin Report. Austrian Passenger Vessel Down in Adriatic Sea. Berlin. Mav 12. By Wireless to Sayville. "The Austro-Hunjrarian passenger steamer Dubrovnik has been torpedoed and sunk by an enemy submarine in the Adriatic." says an Overseas News agency announcement today. "The Dubrovnik was not armed and was torpedied without any waminsr whatever." An official dispatch from Home yes terday announced that an Austrian transport was sunk in the lower Ad riatic by a French submarine. This is the only torpedoing that. has been "mentioned from Rome for several days. It is possible that the vessel tor pedoed and declared by the Austrians to be a passenger liner, is the same ship which the Italian government says was carrying supplies. The Dubrovnik was a steel screw steamer, displacing 4,235 tons, 380 feet long, with a 49 foot beam. She was built in 1912 and registered at the port oi ftogusa. SENDS BIG MEX ARMY NORTH TO BORDER STATES Orders 10,000 Men to Chihua hua and Coahuila. Obregon Declares Motive Is to Round Up Bandits. AMADOR SEES SETTLEMENT He Will Conduct Next Diplo- matic Step With U. S. American Forces Withdraw North to Namiquipa. El Paso. Tex., May 12. Juan X. Amador, sub-secretary of foreign af fairs of the de facto government, who participated in the conference with General Obregon, called on General Scott today and reiterated to him as surances that such troop dispositions as were necessary to restore and main tain order along the northern frontier already had been ordered. General Obregon, who will remain for a few days at Chihuahua, has di rected General Trevino to send Into the states of Chihuahua and Coahuila 10,000 men. These forces will be taken from Torreon, San Pedro and other points in the southern part of Coahuila. Immediate occupation of the district around Parral has been ordered and what the Mexicans regard as an adequate force will be dispatch ed to the Big Bend country and every effort made to run down the bandits and rescue J. Demer, who was cap tured in the Glenn Springs and Bo quillas raid. General Scott previously had assured General Obregon and Mr. Amador that the withdrawal of the American troops from the district be low Namiquipa already had begun and Mr. Amador asserted that this dis trict would be controlled without loss of time by the Mexican forces. Amador a Real Optimist. Mr. Amador expected to leave to night for Mexico City, where he will have an important role as sub-secre tary of foreign affairs In the negotia tions that have reverted to the foreign offices of the two governments. To newspaper men he insisted he had no doubt of an amicable adjust ment at an early date. He explained that the questions .involved in the protocol governing the mutual agree ment for the crossing of troops into one and the other countries must be the basis of these negotiations al though the withdrawal of the Ameri can troops stiplated in Carranza's note of Am-il 12 must also be consiaerea. Mr. Amador did not regard this, how ever, as an insurmountable obstacle to a successful conclusion of the diplo matic negotiations. "And you may be certain," said Amador, "that the danger of a con flict between Mexico troops and Amer ican soldiers pending these negotia tions does not exist." Frars C. S. Might Start It. Mr. Amador emphasized the word "troops," explaining that it was quite possible to be expected that any ir responsible band of armed men might attack American troops at any time but that General Obregon, General Trevino and other high officers of f i rva n -ra o nrmv hnVA JMloh Control over their men that a move by govern- ment forces against the Americans was out of the question. General Obregon's army in Sonora will remain there for the present, ac cording to Mr. Amador, although he said a request would probably be made later for the, passage of a portion of the troops from Sonora eastward, either through American territory or through the American line of com munication. At present, he said, neither Scott nor Obregon regarded it wise, however, to send the Mexican troops across the American lines. "ffot because we fear that our troops would cause a conflict," said Mr. Amador, "so much as we fear that they might be attacked by your troops." Baker Con(rratnlats Conferees. At this Mr. Amador turned his head and smiled at General Scott. Secre tary of War Baker today sent to Gen erals Scott and Funston congratula tory telegrams on the manner in which they had conducted the negotiations with the Mexican conferees.

Obregon Admits Mistake in Ac t cepting Tentative Plan. y BY E. T. COSKLK El Paso. May 12. The Mexican sit- uation today reverted to Washington following the failure or tne interna tional negotiations between War Min ister Obregon and General Scott. Gen eral Carranza's veto of the tentative agreement reached at the start of the negotiations and his steadfast refusal to e-cede to any plan not providing a date for withdrawal of the American expedition, split the conference. Obregon admitted his error in accept ing the tentative agreement and stood pat on the demands of the first chief. General Scott, on the other hand, strove to hit upon a. scheme to satisfy the Mexican government without com promising the American attitude.

AT VERBON Thirty American Fliers French Army Corps. in All Are Volunteers; Harvard Man Gets Hero Medal. BY HENRY WOOD. Paris, May 1 2. All active flyers In the Franco-American aviation corps, composed entirely of volunteer Amer ican aviators under French officers, are now engaged in the greatest battle in the world's history before Verdun. This fact was revealed today follow ing publication of a citation to the order of the day of Elliot C. Cowdin of New York, for the second time for bravery in attacking German flyers. Military regulations ordinarily do not permit the publishing of any in formation relating to the disposition of troops, but it is known that all the volunteer aviators have been engaged on the same sector since they were incorporated in a flying squadron of their own. Over thirty volunteer Americans are in the French flying service but not more than half of these have been given their pilot's licenses. The oth ers are completing their preparation in schools of aviation. Cowdin, a Harvard graduate of 1909. was one of the original nine members of the Franco-American squadron who volunteered early in the war. He first won recognition last June when he was cited for bringing down two Ger man aviators and was awarded the French Croix De Guerrez. BO ANK Eohhers Get $4,000 After lock ing Cashier in Yaalt.

The German assaults, aimed at the recapture of positions taken by the French on May 10, were repulsed by French curtain fire. Near the Avocourt wood and in the region of Douaumonth and Vaux, east of the Meuse, cannonading con tinued throughout the night but there were no infantry attacks. The war office early today gave out a brief statement denying the truth of reports that the French, at one stage of the Verdun battle, contem plated retiring from the forts north east of Verdun and defending the cita del from the west bank of the Meuse. The report said this move was con templated througn fear that tne Ger mans would break the French front west of the Meuse and threaten the envelopment of the forces on the east bank. i No Such Order Given. "At no time during the battle of Verdun has the commander in chief given orders for retirement of the French forces on the right bank of tne Meuse," it was stated. "On the contrary, on February 23, (two days arter tne battle opened) General Lan- gle De Cary ordered the troops on the right bank that every point, every small position, should be held at all costs and that the only word would be 'hold on." "On the evening of the 24th, the commander in chief issued instruc tions to "hold the front between the Meuse and the Woevre with every means at your command.' Must Hold Right Bank. "At the same time, he ordered Gen eral Castelnau to go to Verdun and the next day General Castlenau tele phoned General Herr that the position on the right bank must be held at all costs. Finally, on the evening of the i&tn, tne commander in chief, in sending General Petain to take com mand, issued the following order: 'I gave orders yesterday that the right "bank of the river to Verdun must be held. Every commander who issues an order to retire will be court martialed'." Expert Gives Reason. Paris, May 12. Senator Berenger, writing in today's Matin, says the key to the war lies in the possession of the 'Briey valley, between Verdun and Metz. "Since the war began," says Senator Berenger, "France, having lost the Briey basin, has been obliged to im port almost all the iron required from England and America, while Germany having occupied the whole Briey val ley, is able to add 21,000,000 tons to her annual output. This explains the assiauity or the Germans at Verdun. They want to capture the fortress so as to effectually prevent the French from attacking Metz. War Depends on It. "In a confidential memorandum ad dressed to Chancellor von Kuhmann Hollweg on conditions of future peace, by the German Industrial Agricultural association, on May 20, 1915, the fol lowing passage occurs: 'If the production of iron and steel had not doubled since August, 1914, the continuation of the war would have been impossible. The Briey re gion now produces 60 to 80 per cent of our iron and steel and if that pro duction was hampered the war would be practically lost: ON FOUSTON SHOULDER HELP THE FA!

Secretary Baker today directed Gen eral Scott to return here and General Funston to return, at his discretion, to San Antonio, as a result of the conclu sion of the conferences. What the administration's next step will be is only conjectory. Thus far, there is nothing to show that addition al troops sent to the border will not be adequate. The great fear today was that the Mexicans would .get the idea that the Washington administra tion's refusal to withdraw the troops from Mexico meant an intention to do other than break up Villa bands. Still Chance for Agreement. For this reason, the situation as sumed a special gravity. Authorities now believe that there is no way in which to divert Carranza from his insistence over withdrawal, though they hoped hereafter he will be passive instead of active in this po sition. The failure to reach a formal agreement does not make it impossible to continue the expedition and does not actually threaten the American expedition. No Offensive Move Yet. Renewed indications were given that the administration has no inten tion of withdrawing- American troops until it is definitely established the danger of farther border raids has Salina, Kan., May 12. The Kansas banker's opportunity lies in directing the methods of farming, in spreading the gospel of auxiliary crops, and the many adjuncts to wheat that are proving profitable. A. W. Wilson, of Ness City, declared today before the annual convention of the Kansas Bankers' association. Mr. Wilson spoke on "The Banker and the Wheat Crop," and emphasized the value of diversified farming in Kansas. "The bankers can confer a great favor on the chronic ground skinner and exclusive wheat grower by insist ing that out of every two dollars loan- ea Dy tne bank, one dollar will be invested in other lines of farm bus! ness, said Mr. Wilson. "It is nr. prising how quickly some of these energetic wheat speculators will build up a substantial basis for credit when neia oown to reasonable limits and encouraged to pay attention to other lines of profitable enterprise offered by the Kansas farm. The man with milk cows and a silo, some hogs and brood mares, is a safe risk and when borrowing to put out wheat need not be feared, but the man who wants money for seed wheat and enough to live on while the crop grows cannot be entertained by the careful bank ers. We must not lose sight of the distinction between loaning money for productive purposes and. loaning it for living expenses. Take Risks on Wheat. "It has been asked and I think, fairly, should the banker not t-e will ing to risk something to encourage our greatest industry? I would answer that he should, but he should use his judgment and know that he is en couraging wheat growing and not speculation in wheat and further, since he is loaning other people's money, he should confine' his risk to the profits account. 'I advise loaning money to buy seed wheat with a mort gage back on the crop, where the moral risk is good and the applicant has prepared the ground in season and given evidence of being able to make a living while the wheat grows. Also that advances be made for nec essary harvest expenses. Such ad vances can be safeguarded. This, I believe, is as far as we should go when there are no other assets in sight, and it is far enough to let the wheat grower through." Create a Reserve Bank. J. D. Joseph of White Water, Kan sas, advocated the creation of a Bank of Kansas, that would be a, reserve bank a state depository and a land loan bank, today before the convention of bankers in an address on "The Fu ture of the State Bank.' "Why not have our own reserve bank? Why send our reserves to Missouri, Illinois, Pennsylvania, New York and Massachusetts?' Mr. Joseph asked the bankers. "I favor a Bank of Kansas. Make the Bank of Kan sas an accumulative time certificate bank. Each of you can issue accum ulative time certificates for yourselves and for your agent the Bank of Kan sas, instead of allowing that class of business to go to the building and loan associations in the name of deposit stock and to life insurance companies in the name of investments insurance. "The national and state oanks have been in the past more or less antago nistic to each other and in my judg ment will continue to l,e until one or the other dominates and controls all, or practically all, the banking re sources of the country. "The Federal Reserve bank, in hav ing the riht of issue and an enforced membership of stockholders and de positors, have an advantage that may ultimately eliminate the state bank. It was, no doubt, a part of the purpose of the reserve act. or at least some of its provisions, to enforce member ship of the state banks or subject them to dangers and losses." Mr. Joseph pointed out that the fed eral reserve board is to all ends and purposes the essence of a central bank. Open WHUAT May ...U3v4 Jnly ..1KP.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAIr FRIDAY EVENING, MAY 12, 1916 3 1URDERFACT0RY' Many Alleged to Have Been Killed by Poisoning:. Inmates of Home for Aged Were the Victims. MATRON IS HELD FOR MURDER Many Bodies Are Exhumed in Connecticut Cemeteries. Biggest Poison Case In His tory, Says State Official. Hartford, Conn., May 12. State's Attorney Huph M. Alcorn declared Thursday he had evidence there was wholesale poisoning of inmates of the home for aped at Windsor. He char acterized the home as a "murder fac tory." Dr. Arthur J. Wolf, ctate bac teriologist, corroborated this startling disclosure. Mrs. Amy K. Archer-Gillipan, who had charge of the home, is under ar rest, charged with causing the death of Franklin D. ndrews, an 'nmate. "This has develop 1 from the evi dence already in my possession into one of the biggest poison cases this country has even known," said Mr. Alcorn. Mr. Alcorn declared he would demand more indictments than one. It is expected that a second arrest in the case, that of an alleged accom plice, will be made shortly. The po Mcc were trailing a suspect who is said THE NEWEST REflEDY FOB Backache, Rheumatism and Drcpsy. Kidney, Bladder and Uric Acid troubles bring misery to many. When the kidneys are weak or disease 1, these natural filters do not cleanse the biootl sufficiently, and the poison are carried to all parts of the body. There follow depression, aches and pains, heaviness, drowsiness, irrita bility, headaches, chilliness and rheu matism. In some people there are sharp pains in the back and loins, distressing bladder disorders and sometimes obstin ate dropsy. The uric acid sometimes forms into gravel or kidney stones. When the uric acid affects the muscles and joints, it causes lumbago, rheumatism, gout or sciatica. This is the time to try Amine During digestion uric acid is absorbed into the system from meat eaten, and even from some vegetables. The poor kidneys get tired and backache begins. This is a good time to take "Amide, the new discovery of Dr. Pierce for Kid ney trouble and Backache. Neglected kidney trouble Is responsible for many deaths, and Insurance Company examin ing doctors always test the water of an applicant before a policy will be Issued. Have you ever set aside a bottle of water for twenty-fonr hours? A heavy sedi ment or settling sometimes indicates kid ney trouble. The true nature and char acter of diseases, especially those of tha kidneys and urinary organs, can often be determined by a careful chemical an alysis and microscopical examination this is done by expert chemists of the Medical Staff of the Invalids' Hotel. If you wish to know your condition send ft sample of your water to Doctor Pierce's Invalids' Hotel, Buffalo. N. Y., and de scribe your symptoms.

The state for the first time showed its hand. Attorney Alcorn 3trongly intimated that the prosecution had been busily employed exhuming; a large number of bodies, some of the 48 inmates who died at the home dur ing the past six years. It was also declared the examination of all the bodies had shown death had been caused by poison. "This is a case of multiple pois oning, undoubtedly the greatest New England has ever known." declared Dr. Wolf. The chemist went cn to say that arsenic and one or more other poisons had been employed. "As in most such cases, I don't believe any thing but cupidity could have been the motive," said Dr. Wolf. It was learned today that Dr. Wolf has been occupied almost continuous ly the past month in visiting ceme teries over the entire state of Con necticut. Accompanied by state police and other officials, he superintended the disinterring of bodies, conducted autopsies and reburied the bodies. T. R.

After Stormy Session Adjourn Without an Agreement. Washington, May 12. An appeal probably will be made to President Wilson to bring members of the house into line for action on the army re organization bill. Senators and rep resentatives, anxious for an adequate army program said today that noth ing short of the personal influence of the president will bring it about. After several hours of wrangling, the managers for the house and sen- j ate adjourned the conference, hope- lessiy aeaaiocKea. idealizing mat tne conferees, with instructions not to ac cept the 250,000 regular army voted by the senate will not yield, the sen ate conferees made an especially strong plea for an enlargement of the Plattsburg camp scheme. This fea ture originated in the house. That body, however, had repudiated the volunteer army plan of the senate. The elimination of that feature and the refusal of the house to accept the larger regular army practically re duces the bill to the original house proposition without giving the senate any voice in the legislation. Senate conferees pointed out today that with the single exception of the national guard sections there is no provision anywhere to create a nu cleus for a volunteer army unless the Plattsburg plan is enlarged and its scope considerably extended. House conferees are refusing the enlarged federal support of this plan. RUSS TROOPS MOVE ON Ally Forces Face Strong Turk Fortress at Hanikln. Petrograd. May 12.

When I Left School. I remember, I remember the day that I quit school. I got a nice diploma for minding every, rule. I was the wisest mortal who ever left the place; There was no person like me in all the human race. I had old Homer faded and Solo man as well; The real reach- of my knowledge would take too long to tell. And I was downright sorry. It really seemed a shame That I should have to go out and teach the world its game. Then I set forth to conquer the poor old easy world. With wind and weather charming and every sail unfurled. 'Twas several long years ago, how many I forget. But still I don't mind ownin' the world ain't conquered yet. I remember, I remember the day that I quit school; Since then I have been learnin' how not to be a fool. FRECKLES Don't Hide Tliem With a Veil; Remove Them Wltb the Otbine Prescription.

Would Enjoin Order, but Court Defeats Company. Philadelphia;- May 12. The United States district court here today dis missed the bill of the Lehigh Valley Railroad company which sought to re strain the Interstate Commerce Com mission enforcing its order divorcing the railroad from its interests in steamship lines oh the Great Lakes. The railroad had been granted a temporary injunction restraining the commission from enforcing the order against the Lehigh Valley continuing its interests in the Lehigh Valley Transportation company. Today's decision was on the ques tion of making the injunction perma nent. The court in its opinion said it had -serious doubt whether an injunc tion is an appropriate remedy in the present situation. The commission had kept strictly within the power conferred by congress the court said, and is not' threatening to overstep the mark. Cites Panama Canal Act.' The railroad company had attacked a "paragraph -1n section 11 of the Pan amai panal act which empowers the commission to pel-mit operation of an exJsfing specified service by water if it vas not against the public interest. Itrwas not attacked on constitutional grounds but on; the ground that con gress should have enacted standards to which the commisuvon should conform and that the subject should not have been turned over to the arbitrary ac-tion-qif the comnission."- -j Ph'eourt disagreed "with this con tention and said congress had done all that was reasonably necessary. No legislative body can deal in detail with all the complications of modern com merce, the court said. In sweeping terms, all forms of joint control are forbidden to the carriers described, the court added, but the paragraph now attacked allows the commission to suspend the prohibition in a certain class of cases. This is a favor granted to the carriers in exceptional cases, and is not the invasion of a right. Corns Come Off Like Banana Peel Wonderful, Simple "Gets-It" Nexer Fails to Remove, Any Corn Kaslly.

Attorney General Brewster will ap proach! the proportions of a superman if he. oan devise a plan that will bring to an end, the .litigation that is con cerned with the affairs of the Kansas Natural.

And more power to his arm. But the thirty or so lawyers who are doing t)heir best to pick the company to pieces can probably be depended upon tp give Mr. Brewster a battle royal. In one particular, at least, the Unit ed States is not dependent to any ap preciable., extent .upon the ingenuity, ability 'or'-efficiency of the peoples of other nations. 0?er 90 per cent of the cittonginnvng machinery installed in American cotton mttls is of Ameriean production. There's a feel to the present brand of weather that the snow which is covering the fruit trees in Oregon will shortly put in an appearance in this section.

Alfalfa in many parts of the state is just about ready for its first cutting. And alfalfa produces bigger returns to the acre In Kansas than do many of the "gold fields" of Alaska, I Probably it will snow on the next opportunity that the Topeka fans have to extend to the classy and victorious Savages the royal home-coming re ception they would like to. iOMANT SUFFRAGE AXD THE CONSTITUTION. Under the above caption, the Inde pendent presents the following in its issue of May 8: Mr. Roosevelt has announced his endorsement of the movement for an amendment to the federal constitution extending the suffrage to women. He states the grounds for his belief thus: !"I believe the time has come for a greater and truer nationalism in this country. I believe in the nationalism of the issues which affect not only men, but women also. The great problems of our country are national. In the matter of the railroads, for ex am pie, -forty-six different sets of laws for their regulation merely check and handicap their development and man agement. A universal federal law is essential for railroads. In the same way, the question of enfranchisement of women has become national and demands federal action." Mr. Roosevelt's championship of the cause of a federal suffrage amend ment, if he should by any chance be nominated for the presidency, would bring this issue squarely before the country. President Wilson has re peatedly declared that in his judgment woman suffrage is a matter that should be left to the states. Mr. Wilson is wrong and Mr. Roose velt right. The fundamental condi tions of suffrage should be the same everywhere regardless- of state lines. If. it is right that women should vote and its Tightness is beyond question all women should vote, whether they live in Colorado or in New York. Democracy, the foundation principle of the American nation, and the exclu sion of women from the ballot are mutually destructive conceptions. It should be no prerogative of a state, no matter how "sovereign," to determine whether democracy within its borders shall be partial or complete. The right of citizens of the United States should not be denied or abridged by the United States or any state on account of sex: MORE "PORK,"" PROBABLY. What will probably develop into a medium 'for the dispensation of "pork" that will make the' rivers and harbors barrel look like the proverbial "thirty cents," is the "good roads" legislation that congress is working on. The senate bill provides for ap propriations aggregating no less than $85,000,000. This is to go for post roads and is contingent, it is true, on an equal expenditure by the several states, but some way is sure to be de vised whereby the bulk of these fed eral appropriations will go to com monwealths that are favored by the powers-that-be. Such is not the idea of the measure, of course, but the picking is too rich for the "patriots" of. today at Washington and those of the future to overlook. WHAT'S AN ADEQUATE NAVY? Before a policy can be laid down for the American navy, we must have one for the United States, writes Henry Reuterdahi n the June -Metropolitan. Commercially we are growing aggres sive, hence unpopular. After the world war we shall be in the fight for the world's markets. Our national pol icy must back up the national busi ness. What is it to be? And against whom must the navy defend us? Vaguely we prate about the Monroe doctrine. We talk about the open door in China now tightly shut, with the Japs holding the key and we jolly well know that the British navy, not ours, has so far maintained the Monroe doctrine. Germany has never accepted the Mcnroe doctrine. Every bne knows that the kaiser has tried, several times, to get a foothold in the West Indies. Every one knows that Japan has still casus belli against the United States in. the school question in California. Let the truth be spok en in the halls of congress. Let all this be told in detail. Out with it! Let' congress i frank and Mate in l)lackajMl..whiui, what we believe our tnatioiutf ,inena4f or .our" probable erie mies may be. -With that as our plank, l-Ws'can tmild a two ocean war fleet for,-.ttae deferse of a two ocean coun try, the only one in the world. "In the" words of Congressman Callaway: "I do not want my country to be bul lied, I do not want our flag trailed in the dust, I do not want our foreign policies crossed; I do not want some body to come over here and mop us off the earth. But I do want to know how many; submarines, battle cruisers, dreadnoughts and other ship I have got "to have." Establishing a naval policy and not the phrase, "an ade quate navy," will once and for all set tle that question. But to this day there is no national document which tells the why of our navy. No one statesman, or congress, has yet had the courage or wisdom to formulate such a national opinion. Let us be honest and say that we shall have the second navy in the world, or the first if need be. Let us be candid and say that our purpose is to maintain a navy stronger than Germany's, now twice as strong as the American, and larger than JapajL's, and big enough to de- Journal Entries Being a genius and making a noise like one are entirely different propo sitions.

A collegian is not necessarily a hard student just because his muscular de velopment is like unto iron.

Jayhawker Jots Why is it, asks the Leavenworth Post, that the bright kid the proud father is always telling you about, al ways has an off day when you meet it? People who buy the leading maga zines these days, says the Phillips County Post, have to read an awful lot of advertising to get their money's worth. Some women are so fussy, says Mrs. Tom Thompson in the Howard Cour ant, that, should they arrive in Sahara on a 10 o'clock train, they would "dust" the desert before going to bed. As the Bunker Hill Advertiser put it: Having entered Mexico for good and sufficient reasons, multiplied a thousand fold,: we should not hesitate to get out when we get good and ready. Says the Kearny County Advocate: Do it yourself and it will be done. When work is a pleasure we all feel rich. Opportunity is insist ently knocking, but you will have to open the door yourself. Why load your shoulders down with greater burdens? A smite weighs less than a grouch. If war comes, some men will fight from choice, a few from necessity," arid" the majority will let the other fellows do their fighting. International Sunday School Lesson BX W. T. ELMS. For May 14 is "Lo. We Turn to the Gentiles." Acts 13:13-52. When the Church Broke Bounds. The Riiblcon-.of the Christian church was crossed by Saul and Barnabas in what is now troubled Asia Minor. They settled forever the question of whether Christianity was for the Jews or for the whole world. That story is the Sunday school lesson for today. Like all the present series, it has its setting in the land to which the news papers are calling our attention afresh, troubled, distracted, blood-stained Turkey. In the region where the two first Christian missionaries were the center of a riotous turmoil, the mod ern Christians have been done to death by bigotry and religious intolerance. The bounds of the lesson are mark ed by two Antiochs. There were six teen of these cities in the old Alexan drian empire, named for his father Antiochus by Seleucas Nikator, who has the remarkable record of having founded thirty-seven cities, which he named after himself or his relatives. The greatest of all was Antioch in Syria, the city where the disciples were first called Christian. It was from this place that Saul and Barnabas set out. Can Godliness Thrive in a City? The. more we know about old An tioch, with its half million corrupt heathen, the more wonderful it seems that this city should be the center of Christian propaganda, and after the fall of Jerusalem the true center of the Christian church. Let me quote from one authority picture of old Antioch, which will give pause to those extreme critics of our modern cities who are fond of saying that vice is winning new victories in our time: "In "Antioch the Beautiful" there was to be found everything which Italian wealth, Greek aestheticism, and Oriental luxury could produce. The ancient writers, however, are unanimous in describing the city as one of the foulest and most depraved in the world. Cosmopolitan in dispo sition, the citizens acted as if they were emancipated from every law, human or Divine. Licentiousness, supersti tion, quackery, indecency, every fierce and base passion, were displayed by the populace; their skill in coining scurrilous verses was notorious, their sordid, -fickle, turbulent, and insolent ways rendered the name of Antioch a byword for all that was wicked. Their brilliance and energy, so praised by Cicero, were balanced by an incurable levity and shameless disregard for the first principles of morality. So in famous was the grove of Daphne, five miles out of the city, filled with shrines to Apollo, "Venus, Isis, etc., and crowded with theaters, baths, taverns, and dancing saloons, that soldiers de tected there were punished and dis missed from the Imperial service. 'Daphnic morals' became a proverb. Juvenal could find no more forcible way of describinft the pollutions of Rome than by saying. "The Orontes has flowed into the Tiber.' In this Vanity Fair the Jews were resident in large numbers, yet they exerted little or no influence on the morals of the city." What a soil to .produce so, fair a lily .as the missionary, spirit of the Chris- tian Church! As a. matter of simplest. psychology, it was necessary 'tor those early Christians to be either militant or moribund. Had they been1 inactive and conventionalized, their faith would have been submerged in the mire of pollution amid which they found themselves. The only sure way to preserve in its purity one's faith amid adverse cir cumstances is to be outspoken and ac tive in its promulgation. The boy who goes to school and tries to keep secret the fact of his church membership is likely to have a rorry time of it; whereas the other who, from the first, trie's to do Christian work among his schoolmates will find his faith grow ing as he goes. The Christian man in business can save his religion from contamination only as he tries to in fluence his business and his associates by sedulous service. The only way to keep one's religion is to continually try to give it away. Had the Antioch Church not been missionary it would quickly have been missing. In serving the whole world it saved itself. The philosophy of Jesus is a life principle that applies universally: "He that loseth his life shall save it." What is spent survives. The surest cure for a church or a nation menaced by selfish ness and materialism is a high conse cration to a large and unselfish ser vice. When the Crowd Stood Back. Those Antioch Christians had too much sense and too much religion to feel that they needed to keep all their strong members right in their midst. There is a lesson here for the churches which retain on their roll members who have moved away and ought to be active in some other church. The Antioch congregation freely gave Saul and Barnabas to the wider work. In fact, they held a solemn service to set them apart for this mission. That is a good old fashion that would bear reviving. Why should not a church solemnly set apart its mem bers who have been called to any kind of special ministry? We ordain pas tors and a few of the other church of ficers. Why should we not solemnly set apart and dedicate the social ser vice worker, the man who has given himself to boys work, the secretary of student activities, the superintendent of girls clubs, the rescue mission worker, the leader in young people's activities? Let the whole Church stand together and behind every one of its representatives who goes out in its name to do larger service for the Kingdom. On many a discouraged day in their missionary journey Saul and Barnabas thought with a glow of joy, and with a new accession of strength, of the company of praying Christians back in Antioch, whose rep resentatives they were. A Traveler's Tale. The wonderful incidental corrobo rations of the historical accuracy of the Book of Acts should not be over looked. This volume will stand the test of all the latest geographical re searches. Like a good reporter, and unlike many a traveler, Luke did not make his narrative a dreary chron icle of mere places visited. His rec ord is more than an itinerary, and yet it doeis enable, the readers to fol low the course of the travelers as they went first from great Antioch in Syria down to Selucia, where they took ship for the Island of Cyprus, where they worked among the Jews. Leaving Cyprus, the two mission aries who had up to this time been accompanied by John Mark, who there proved i- quitter they landed on the coas-. of Asia Minor and went into the other city of Antioch, which is called Pisidian Antioch. The les son which began in Antioch in Syria continues in the Antioch in Asia Minor. In the Old Church. Anybody who spent a Sunday in a hotel knows the problem of Sunday as it confronts the traveler. A few there are who, like Saul and Barna bas and like Jesus before them, go to the old church on Sunday. These Christians had -not outgrown the synagogue. It was not -adequate, and they had a bigger and better gospel than it knew, yet it wasthe best rep resentative of the religion of the true God -to be found in these heathen cities, and they stood by it. A popular pastime of today is to And fault with the church and now many taults she has! Yet after all has been said, the church is the best representative of God on earth and the best agency for the service of man. I question the judgment of the person who is "too big" to go to church, an! especially of the Chris tian who thinks that the church is not holy enough to satisfy his pious soul. I met a man of that sort in a China city. He had tried all the churches of the city and had even started one of his own. But when I knew him he had separated from them all and was conducting his own religious ex ercises in hij home. It perhaps would not be chaiitab.e to quote what the members of the churches said about this man, but I myself found that despite his overpowering piosity he was a little sharper in business than I had expected even a cranky Chris-, tian to be, and it cost me a consider able sum to learn that a man may be entirely too pious to go tooburch, and yet hot too religious to "practice sharp deals on unsuspecting custom ers on week days. The "go-to-church movement,' which has sprung out of the modern publicity propaganda, is big and wise and all good citizens should be squarely behind it. There is a place for everybody m a church of his choice, and it is true service of God and a sign of good citizenship; 4o "be found regularly in that place. Tlie First Missionary Sermon. When in the synagogue the .strang ers wrere invited to speak to the con gregation. Paui stood up he is here first called Paul, rather than Saul and began on the common ground where they stood to tell the familiar story of God's dealings with the Chos en people. From every standpoint the sermon, which was tbe first missionary discourse on record, was a good one. It was full of Scripture. You can not have a first-class and effective sermon if it does not abound in the living word of Holy Writ. Every minister must constantly watch himself lest his per mon contain too much of the daily newspaper and not enough of the In spired Word. It was a sermon full of facts and not &11 exhortation. No ad dress really has power that does not marshal definite .information. The merely hortatorical discourse is usu ally ephemeral. Beginning far back in the Old Testament, the sermon steered a straight course to Calvary. Like every Gospel message, it led straight to a presentation of the Good News of the Messiah come, with a free offer of salvation to all men. So stirred were the hearers that they wanted Paul to preach again, and between whiles he was thronged with inquirers eager to hear more about this Way. The popularity" of the Message provoked the jealousy of the Jews, and the missionaries were driven from the synagogue, TxtJ.. not until Paul hak announced themo meotousdeciajor "We turn to the Gentiles." That marked the Rubicon of Christianity. The new wine of the .living gospel could not be con tained in the old wineskins of the Jewish order. From that day to this the Gospel has been preached to every nation even as Paul and Barnabas preach it to the Jews. The Will That Works. Terse Comments on the Uniform Pr.'.yer Meeting Topic of the Yovtng People's Societies Christian En deavor, etc. for May 14: "What Does Christ Want Us to Do?"' r John 3 5:12-16. We are not only to be servants as Jesus was, but to serve as He served. His rule was to do His Father's will. That is what service was to Him not a perfoi manes of tasks, but a living, personal obedience. This transforms all work. What is in itself hard, even repulsive, we can do for the sake of Him we love and long to serve. Any new work ih&t needs doing for God or man may be done "For Christ and the Church." God requires not talents, but sub mission. It matters little to Him whether a life be common or great, as the world views it. He only asks that the life be yielded to Him. He is perfectly able to fill it with all pow er, and to use it to accomplish mighty works in His name. He wants not worth, but willingness. When we do common things In an uncommon way we show that the genius of consecration posseses us, and we are making ready to be more large ly used by Christ. When we work Joyously we win other workers to the same service. As men are always seeking employment In the best workshops, because of the praises of the workmen already there so men will be led into the work of God by seeing our joy in it. We may witness for God by the way in which we work. 1 Obedience is the key to every door. George Macdonald. When we hear God's call for mis sionaries we should remember that the whole wide world is His mission field. He may not mean to have us go to China or Africa. First of all He wishes to find in us the willing spirit. After that He will lead us to a mission field, or reveal to us that our present surroundings are the mission field that He has chosen for us. Somewhere God has a mission field for every friend of His who is eager to glorify Jesus Christ God is ready; only man delays. God will not let us preach for Him unless we let Him choose our field. We do not do works in the world. No man ever has had a complete task. Each of, us has a part in a great work, and that great work is God's work. We are to do our assigned portion of the unending work begun by God, and the highest honor that can come to a man is to do well his bit of the infinite work which is important enough to engage the activities of men and angels and God. In such a work it is essential that every laborer be obedient to the orders of him who alone under stands the whole. Except we work where He tells us to we shall work in vain, for the work is His.; When we work for Christ we must let Him. be the Master. True obedience to God is the obe dience of faith and good works that is. He is truly obedient to God who trusts Him and does What He Commands Luther. Every post of 'duty is God's appoint ment. God has tasks for Christians that angels cannot do. "Savior, teach me, day by day. Love's sweet lesson. to obey Sweeter lesson cannot be, Loving Him who first loved me. "Teach me thus Thy steps to trace. Strong to follow in Thy grace; Learning how to love from Thee, Loving Him who first loved me. "Love in loving finds employ. In obedience all her joy; Ever new that joy will be. Loving Him who first loved me. The Evening Story An Awakened Conscience. (By Arthur Wallace Peach.) The convention during the after noon had been a busy one, and the men were glad to gather for a com fortable smoke and chat in one of the smoking rooms of the hotel. They were mining engineers and had come from different parts of the West. Naturally, while the cigars were go ing, stories began to appear of ex periences that ranged from the tragic to the ludicrous. Finally, they swung, under the guidance of the spokesman of the group. Granger by name, to a consideration of what might be called the meanest act they had ever wit nessed. After various experiences had been related, a man who was known to be a friend of Granger spoke: "I'm not going to tell you that I have witnessed a mighty mean act personally, but I can tell you that I know all about that act and what .the man must be who committed it. "Suppose you picture yourself driv ing up a winding read in New Eng land, up among the hills, and coming to a lane that leads to a house set some distance back. It is almost twi light, and as you approach you see a .figure at the entrance. Driving near er, you find the figure is that of a girl. And, .then, suppose you recognize her as the girl who had been waiting there at dusk for ten years for a chap who had never returned. "That is what I. experienced one early evening last year. I was going there to see a man of the name of Upson, who owned x small right in a stream that we were planning to dam. There I heard the whole story. "T found Upson to be a grim sort of fellow, in a way, and yet friendly enough after he thawed out, and that night, after the rest had retired, he and I smoked a pipe together. In the midst of our conversation, I happened to think of the young woman .at the entrance, and I asked tim aoout her. She had been present at the supper table. She was slight of stature, sweet of face and gentle of manner, but there was something about her that appealed to me as no woman or man ever had -an air of resignation just touched with hope. I was 'puz zled by her and I wanted to penetrate the mystery.. "Upson smoked in silence for some time. Then he said slowly: "Well, to tell the truth, I don't like to talk about it. But it will do no harm. "Ten, years ago, I had quite a little moneyC and I was looking around to invest it,-- and wrote in to a Boston firm. I wanted to ptrfc-the money to as good use as possible. Well, it was not long after I had written that a young fc-llow came from the city and explained a proposition to me. He seemed to be a fine sort of chap in every way. We enjoyed him and lik ed him, and made him at home. The boys took him off for a fishing trip, hunted with him a little and all the time he was talking to me about the proposition. "Well I fell for it. But I wasn't the only one who fell. That girl seemed to find in him just the man to love. I didn't blame her he was attractive. She was well educated and had stayed by us old folks because she loved us that is her reason for 'most everything she does. She was -and is sunny of temper and gentle of disposition. I, of course, saw how things were going, but I let them go on. They were together a good deal, and many times alone, and the upshot of it was she came to me one night in this very room, with him following close behind her, and told me they wore engaged. "She was so happy that her happi ness went all through the house Even a sour, old hired man of mine began to smile a remarkable change in him. In fact, I used to think it was as if a sunbeam with a voice had landed in the place. Naturally, of course, we were all cheered up, and we saw everything bright ahead. "They made preparations for the wedding and the wedding day. He talked about it as much as if not more than she did. "One day he departed, taking my money and her love. I shall never forget their parting but I am trying to forget, and I had better not bring it up again. Anyway, she drove him to the station, and came back a little saddened, but happy inside and filled with music still. "Everything moved on smoothly un till I could see her beginning to be troubled. Finally, I got the truth. He had not written. My suspicious were aroused, and I wrote to the com pany. "The information I got was like a bomb in our quiet home. It seems he had left the employ of the company to go West, had vanished so far as they were concerned, and had never reported the money I had given him. He had cashed the check all right, but he had kept the money. "I felt badly enough, for I saw old age near, and only hard work ahead. I tried to find him, but this is a great country, and the West and East are large enough for a man to hide in if the one who is hunting him has not money and patience to continue the search. He dropped out of existence as far as I was concerned. "She recovered from the shock, for she comes of stern stuff; but the girl still believes that he will return. I suppose there are such things in the world, but I never believed it before the faith that outlasts the years. She believes he will return and explain what has happened.

Then He Kicked Her in Stom ach, She Says in Petition. HOLIDAYS WERE ENLIVENED DiTorce Papers Charge Throw ing of Chairs and Pots. Family Has Accumulated Prop erty and and a Ford! That her husband enlivened the Chrismas holidays by throwing a hot coffee pot at her and by turning the furniture upside down is the charge made by Mrs. Ella J. Jones in a di vorce petition filed in the district court today against Charles C. Jones. Besides all that Mrs. Jones says her husband kicked her in the stomach and used language towards her that made her sick. The Joneses, according te the peti tion, were married February 14, 1895, at Easton, Kan., and have three chil dren, the oldest of whom is 15 years. Mrs. Jones says her husband posses ses a violent temper over which he exerts little control and that during last Christmas holidays he lost what little control he had. It was on that occasion, she says, that he shied the pot of hot coffee at her, burning her, and kicked her in the stomach. She states that he has cursed her and used language towards her that is too vile and indecent to place in a public record. She states that he "rows around home all night" and that on one occasion it was necessary for her to call the police to protect nerseii ana tne cnuaren. It is a common practice, she says, for him to throw the dishes to the floor and turn the furniture upside down in the home. She declares that he has threatened to kill her and asks the court for a restraining order that will keep him'away from the fam ily home at 1122 Tyler street. According to the petition the family has accumulated the property at 1122 Tyler street, the household goods and a Ford car. Mrs. Jones declares she is forced to support herself and family Dy taKing in boarders and roomers and asks for the household goods and an equal division of the remaining prop erty. In addition to that she asks for a divorce and reasonable alimony. ORDINANCE TO ORDER One Will Be Framed to Fit the IjOco Weed Situation. Temporarily the users and sellers of loco weed, the new drug that is help ing fill the bull pen at the police sta tion, are resting easy. There is no state law and no city ordinance cov ering the sale or use of this drug. But their contentment is due to be shortlived. When George P.

Mrs. Tassell kept books, according to officials who took part in the raid, and they will have no trouble what ever in producing a long string of witnesses. It is said that a surprising list of names of men and women, young and old, has been connected up with the Tassell place on Jackson street. of a girl with a wonderful soul cling ing to the first great ideal that had come into her life. It's a case of a splendid woman soul being wasted. "Yes, she waits for him there in the twilight and It's going to be a long, long wait!' "That, gentlemen, is the story as Up son told me," said Granger's friend, "and I have always thought of it as a story of the meanest man and the meanest act within my knowledge." A silence fell on the group, each with a picture in his mind of the girl waiting in the dusk of the New Kng land evening. Suddenly a tall figure arose, and in a voice that was strained with emo tion said: "Gentlemen, that was the meanest act it is more than that but I tell you that the chap who did it has suf fered for those years. He stands right here I'm the man. I thought I had forgotten, but I find I can't forget. Whenever I think I have, something comes up, just as these words tonight. I give you my word that I shall take the next train for New England and, God giving me the chance, I shall reappear there. I did not think she could be to faith ful. I did love her, and I havealways in my way. I hope I may yet be worthy of her. I'm sorry." Without another word, the tall, thin figure passed from the room. The silence that followed his with drawal was broken by Granger: "You did a good job in telling that story. Mason. You gained your end." "What do you mean?" some one asked. "Why, the facts are these," said Granger's friend: "I recognized him just before 1 came in. I had sort of looked him up. I told Granger to steer the conversation so that I could tell the story. I thought if the man had any conscience it might be touch ed. I gues he has." "I should like to be about when he drives up in the evening and she well, she" -said one of the men, and not one waited for him to finish the sentence. i-(Copyright, 1916. by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate.

BOY SHOT VILLA Viliista Officer Claims to HaT Correct Version. Lad Beaten to Death for Pro tecting His Sister. Field Headquarters of the American Expedition, Near Namiquipa, Mexico, May 4, by Motor Truck to Columbus, N. M. Pancho Villa was shot by the youthful brother of a girl whom he attempted to assault, according to the latest version of the wounding of the bandit. A former Viliista officer told the story here today, asserting the de tails came from the girl's family and neighbors. The boy was beaten to death by Villa's men at the bandit leader's curt command to "kill him." Villa had long maintained his re spect for women. Many stories are told in Mexico of officers executed by the bandit because they attacked young girls. Villa forfeited his last re deeming virtue while marching to at tack Columbus, when he kidnaped the fifteen year old daughter of Juan Aderipe. foreman of a big ranch at Bochineva. The girl was carried away to San Geronimo and kept a prisoner for nearly a week. She was in a seri ous condition when Villa relased her and again moved northward with his column. Her father, who killed Jose Gutierrez, has sworn to devote the re mainder of his life to hunting down Villa. Finds Girl at Guerrero Returning from Columbus. Villa and his band arrived at Guerrero on the morning of March 28, according to the story told here. When his headquar ters was settled. Villa rode through the city, appraising the women he saw. As he passed the home of the Aderipe family, he espied Carmita, 15, standing in the doorway. Villa slid from his horse and grasped the girl around the waist, smothering her cries with kisses. The girl's brother, a youth of 18, rush ed at the bandit. Villa released the girl, but too late; the boy shot from the hip, hitting Villa in the right leg just above the ankle and in the right thigh. Two more bullets whizzed harmlessly past the bandit's head. Then as the girl fled to her mother, the youth threw the smoking weapon at Villa's head and fled. Villa crurrpled, but pulled himself together and mounted his horse. The boy ran into the arms of a Viliista guard and was promptly brought back to the bandit chief. "Kill him!" was Villa's command as he rode away, confident of the sol dier's ingenuity in devising a means of execution. Carmita's brother was stoned until he fell.

Everyone, whether ailinsr, sick or well, should, each morning, before breakfast, drink a glass of real hot water with a teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in it to wash from the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels the prvirus day's Indigestible waste, sour bile and poisonous toxins; thus cleans ins, sweetening and purifyinsr the en tire alimentary canal before putting more food into the stomach. The ac tion of hot water and limestone phos phate on an empty stomach is won derfully invigorating. It cleans out all the sour fermentations, rcases, waste and acidity and gives one a splt-mlid appetite for breakfast. While you are enjoying your breakfast the water and phosphate is quietly ex tractinK a larsre volume of water from the blood and getting ready for a thorough flushing of all the inside onrans. The millions of people who are bothered with constipation, bilious spalls, stomach trouhle, rheumatism; others who have sa How skins, blood disorders and sickly complexions are urged to get a quarter pound of lime stone phosphate from the drug store which will cost very little, but is sufficient to make anyone a pro nounced crank on the subject of in ternal sanitation.

The report re ceived yesterday by wireless from Ber lin through the Overseas News agency that Gregory Rasputin, the Russian monk who is reputed to have wielded a powerful mystic influence over Em peror Nicholas, had been assassinated is coincident with the receipt here by the Associated Press of mail advices from its correspondent at Christiania, Norway, disclosing details of a plot to murder Rasputin. Theywere revealed byHelidorus, the "Mad Monk of Tsaritsyn," a fantastic leader of the masses o$ the Volga re gion who has figured prominently in the Rasputin case. It is disclosed that Helidorus, who disappeared from Russia some time ago. is a refugee in Christiania. Although once on the best of terms with Rasputin, he final ly turned against him and denounced him as wielding a criminal influence and undertook to warn the imperial court of this dangerous fiend. KAYDEN GIVES ADVICE Tells Retail Clerks to Move Carefully on Sunday Closing. Retail clerks in Topeka are seelting the advice of City Attorney Hayden in their efforts to obtain better working hours. A representative of the retail clerks' union called on Hayden today and asked him tp render a decision whether or not the union can close all grocery stores in Topeka on Sundays. There is some difference between the state and city laws which cover this question and as both laws give the grocerman a wide latitude on the question of Sunday closing the city attorney advised the representative to proceed cautiously in any endeavor for better hours. A complaint was filed with the city attorney that some of the clothing stores are keeping open on Sunday and Hayden instructed the represen tative to obtain the names of all those who were found to be open next Sun day and all would receive a letter tell ing them that they were violating the law and to discontinue the practice at once. "I would suggest." said Hayden, "that the clerks' union and the gro cerymen first get together and talk their differences over to see if some sort of an arrangement for better hours for the clerks cannot be obtain ed. If that fail then it is time to RED CROSS GOODNESS YES. Red Cross Ball Blue, yes. Nothing else will do.

Are you lay ing away part of your savings for the time when you too grow old? Begin now. Ask us about our savings accounts. The Bank of Topeka proceed on other lines, but if you once start a tight Sunday closing movement. It naturally extends to other lines and you boys are liable to become engulfed in a movement that will frustrate your present plans, and for that reason I would strongly ad vise going elowly." FAVOR THEUNIONS 31. E. Conference May Advocate Use of Organized Labor. Change in Apostles Creed Is Left With Bishops. Saratoga Springs, N. T., May 12. Action on a proposal designed to com mit the Methodist Episcopal church to a policy favoring preferential em ployment of union labor was deferred until tomorrow after two hours of de bate at today's business session of the general conference. The question came up on consideration of the re port of Methodist commission on so cial service which contained the fol lowing recommendation. 'A sound principle to govern the church as an employer would seem to be that in recognition of the price paid, by organized labor to improve conditions of the industry and on ac count of its general contribution to the community welfare, a preference should be shown to it and every pos sible effort be made to work with it. insofar as its methods are just and insofar as the rights of unorganized men are not infringed upon. A proposal to amend the Apostles' creed by substituting the words Church universal for Holy Cat ho lie church" caused a debate in which proponents of the change asserted that the meaning of the phrase was misunderstood by young persons and by foreign converts to Methodism. The determination of the matter was left to the board of bishops. DEPORT 150 BROKERS Refuse to Accept Mexican De Facto Money for Face Value. Mexico City, May 12.

Albert Stark, the fourteen-year-old boy to whose delinquency May Bur nett is charged with contributing, was called before the sheriffs force this morning and questioned. He made the same sort of statements with reference to his relations with the Burnett woman that he had already made to t Harvey Parsons, chief of police, and to F. W. Dawdy, probation officer. May Burnett declared today that there is absolutely nothing to the charges. "I run a decent and respectable place," she said, "and have been try ing to do what I thought was right. The police have done all they could to make trouble for me no matter how I have conducted myself." The Stark boy is small for a boy of fourteen years. He declared today that he had been sent out to steal by Mrs. Burnett and that she had taught him other things which the of ficials agreed no fourteen-year-old boy ought to know anything about. He told or other small boys wno naa been in her company. The specific charge against May Burnett is that she contributed to the delinquency of Albert Stark. If she is convicted of the worst charge he makes against her she can draw nothing more than a jail sentence. The county attorney's office looked up the law this morning. "Conviction of a man of a crime such as is alleged," said W. E. Atchi son, county attorney, "would keep him in the penitentiary the balance of his life. The best that could be done In this particular case would be a short jail sentence. And yet the Women say the laws are man-made for men."

The regular dancing season for the Tivoli club closed with the April par ty, but the success of that affair prompted the men of the club to close the season with an extra May party.

This party will not be given by any particular crowd, but will be known as a subscription party. About fifty conples will participate with enough married people for chaperons. Two om at busses and numerons buggies will furnish transportation to the pavilion, making the drive out and back not the least enjoyable part of the evening's pleasure. At first it was feared that the busses would be overcrowded, but 1 a sufficient number have already sig nified their intention of going in bug cies to avert that trouble. Those go ing in bus.se will start from the city library at eight o'clock. The gentle men will appear in negligee phirts. or at least nt full dress, and the ladies will have the opportunity of initiating that combination of utility and beauty, the shirt waist, into the mysteries of the two-step.

Bulletins have been received from some of the New York women who are to be hostesses at the General Feder ation Biennial, not or.ly instructing the visitors from the "wild and wooley" how to dress, but likewise how to be have. They are told how not to be im posed upon, cheated or kidnaped in the great, wicked city, and assuming that these much instructed western women have never been to town be fore, the bulletins with which they are showered ought to be the great est boon in the world to them, enabl ing them to return to the bosom of their families all unharmed and con scious cf having appeared properly dressed and. satisfactory in deport ment. Word has been received of the en gagement of Miss Beatrice Cohn and Mr. Frank E. McKitrick of Chicago. Mr. McKitrick is the son of Mrs. E L. McKitrick of 1237 Clay street.

His mother solemnly promised him a spanking ii ne didn t mind her. Still he continued to carry on preparation for donning the new boots. Then Father stepped in and reminded him him that a whipping was waiting for him if he didn't obey. He replied that he knew it, but went on to lace up the new shoes. Finally he finished the task of putting on the new ones and changing back to the old ones- With out waiting to get home, his father marched him upstairs and adminis tered the promised punishment, and he spared the rod not at all. Tommy found that spanking pretty hard to stand, but when it was over he still had the gamecess of the dancer who is willins: to Dav the fiddler- With a deep sigh, he assured them all that it was worth it.

May 12- One thing is abso lutely certain: The war will leave all the combatants, whether victorious or otherwise, financially exhausted. It will mean general impoverish ment all over Europe, both of the in dividual and state, and that impov erishment must immediately produce new social conditions. That is a grave outlook. No one knows whether the condi tion of affairs after the war will be a real and permanent peace or a con stant armed anticipation of war. It depends on the policy of the states of Europe whether they will come to realize the hideous curse inherent in war both to the victors and losers. There is a third condition. Our mil lions of men will return with a new spirit and new view of the world. They will be supermen and they must inevitably control the future of this country. They will bring back self respect and respect for others. Character is another inestimable asset that they will bring. What is this war but a conflict of character, a conflict between the gal lant, reckless, confident Briton and the cold, calculating nation of assas sins who. through a whole generation, devote all their resources of science and knowledge to the preparation of a hideous conspiracy against their neighbors and the liberties of all men. If the Prussian wins it will enclose Europe in a coffin with a Prussian sentinel to guard it.

A fist fight between twe members of congress over the moving picture, "The Birth of a Nation," furnished a subject for gen eral congressional gossip today. Rep resentative Lehlbach of New Jersey, of a family of vigorous abolitionists, and Representative Nichols of South Carolina, a fiery and husky south ern gentleman, were the principals in the affair. Nichols, according to the story told today, was at dinner at a Capitol Hill hotel when the New Jersey represen tative entered. The two had been friends throughout the present session of congress. They occupy adjoining offices in the house office building and as new members had been togeth er a great deal. When Lehlbach en tered the dining room the southerner invited him to dine with him. In the course of the meal Lehlbach took occasion vigorously to criticize the moving picture. He commended resolutions recently introduced in the house for the suppression of the film and spoke at length on his abolitionist ancestry. The southern representative objected and an altercation ensued. Nichols, who is built on the model of Jess Willard and is one of the young est members of the house, concluded the argument with twe well directed blows, a left Jab and a right uppercut. Before the New Jersey member could recover and return the attack, waiters and nearby diners intervened. The incident closed with Lehlbach hur riedly leaving the dining room. Mu tual apologies were exchanged later. CAPT. BOY-ED A HERO Kaiser Decorates Expelled Naval At tache, Alleged Dynamite Conspirator. London, May 12. A Central News dispatch from Amsterdam says that Captain Karl Boy-Ed, formerly naval attache at Washington, has been dec orated with the Order of the Red Eagle, third class, with swords by the emperor. Captain Boy-Ed was appointed to the Washington embassy December, 1911. After various charges had been made against him in regard to his connection with passport frauds, the equipment of German commerce raid ers from this country and German in trigues in Mexico, President Wilson requested his recall. After the presi dent had declined a request from Ber lin to explain the reason for the de mand of Captain Boy-Ed's recall, the attache was ordered home last Decem ber. The charges against Captain Boy Ed continued after his departure from this country. In March of this year when Horst von Der Goltz was arrest ed in New York in connection with the plot to blow up the Welland canal in Canada, he made a statement to the United States district attorney charg ing that Captain Boy-Ed had proposed an Invasion of Canada from this coun try. punisheMpromoted French Question Penalty of Sussex Perpetrator, Lieut. Stcinbrick. Paris, May 12. The. official admis sion that a German submarine tor pedoed the Sussex is widely comment ed on in today's press which consid ers that the admission accentuates Germany's collapse before President Wilson's resolute attitude. The ePtit Parisien says that an ex amination of the comments of the German press shows that it is domi nated by the feeling that Germany has undergone one of the gravest diplo matic checks in her history and that she dare not answer back to Washing ton as she would like. There is considerable skepticism about the punishment of the com mander of the submarine, -Marcel Hutin says: "We are curious to know and perhaps the American govern ment will show the same curiosity, as to what sort of punishment has been chosen for the commander of the sub marine. Has not Admiral von Capelle promoted Lieut. Otto Steinbrick, the commander of the U-18. which I un derstand is the submarine which tor pedoed the Sussex?" WILLl.EFl"BODY In Diving Suits Men Will Search Mine Sludge Ponds. Joplin, May 12.- Men in diving suits will descend into water-filled mine shafts and pludge ponds near here in a further effort to locate the body of Frederick Frazier, mine oper ator who disappeared from Spurgeon, six miles south of here, last August. That announcement was made to day by the prosecution attorney's of- nce following the postponement yes tedya at Xeopho of the preliminary hearing of William Craig, charged with second degree murder in con nection with Frazier's diseappearance, to permit further search for the body. ARMY TO CROSS GREECE Allies Determined to Send Serbians Through Neutral Territory. Berlin, May 12. The entente pow ers have decided to resort to force, if necessary, to transport the Serbian troops at Corfu across Greek territory to the Saloniki front, the Oversees News Agency says. "The official Russian press bureau as .quoted by Petrograd newspapers, announces that the Greek government is adhering to its decision to refuse permission for passage of the Serbian troops, the News Agency says. "The Russians believe Greece is actuated by fear of Germany. The entente powers have decided to employ force, being prompted by desire to determine definitely the policy of Greece." G tr. O. off O.

Coliseum Taken Over by Re publican Committee Today. Chicago, May 12. Possession of the Coliseum formally was taken over to day by the Republican national com mittee through its sergeant-at-arms, W. B Stone. Mr. Stone, who has moved his offices there, will keep open house for the army of visitors who are already beginning to arrive. Applications for hotel accommoda tions have become so heavy that ar rangements are under way to list every hotel and rooming house in the city that possibly may be used. ltent Private Houses. The demand for accommodations during convention week, June 7, it was learned today has so exhausted the supply of rooms in Chicago hotels that many visitors will live in private homes, in some cases entire houses being rented to care for parties from out of the city. The first person to take this step to secure accommoda tions was John Wanamaker of New York and Philadelphia, who has taken a house of 14 rooms on Michigan boulevard for himself and party. Oth ers immediately followed suit and it is said the rental in some cases amounts to $100 a day and upwards. William F. Stone, sergeant-at-arms of the Republican national convention, established headquarters at Coliseum annex today. Headquarters for the Progressive national convention will be opened, in a day or two, it is said, with F. H. Corrick of Omaha, state chairman for Nebraska, in charge. The headquarters will be at the Au ditorium hotel. NEW HIGHBROW THEORY Cultured Women Should Sidestep Mothers, Advocates Club Members. Seattle, Wash. May 12- Educated, cultured women should not be al lowed to be mothers. Motherhood should be restricted to women of the lower classes who have not had the heritage of nerves, tem perament and physical development which science admits is what makes the propagation of a life fraught with so much danger and suffering. So says Mrs. Robert Liggett of St. Paul, in discussing "twilight sleep," with local club women, prior to the question being brought up at the bi ennial Meeting of the general Fed eration of Women's clubs in New York, when the child birth question is to be discussed. Mrs. Liggett frankly states her pur pose to make women rebel against motherhood until something is done to save them from the pain which many women consider a natural ac companiment.

VAN ANTWERP DIES Was Railroad Builder in Mexico Driven Out by Revolution. Archibald L. Van Antwerp, promi nent railroad man and builder of rail roads in Mexico, died Thursday at his home, 1125 Tyler street.- Mrs. Van Antwerp died last January and Mr. Van Antwerp's death was partially due to grief over the loss of his wife. He is survived by a brother, Charles Van Antwerp, of Lee, Mass., and an uncle. Thomas James, of Nassau. N. Y. A. L. Van Antwerp was graduated from Williams college. He was pro ficient in many foreign languages. He came to Topeka about twenty-five years ago, but twenty years of the time since was spent in Mexico, where he was at different times agent for a steamship line, traffic manager of the railway from Mexico City to Vera Cruz and a builder of railroads. He wrote for papers In Mexico City and after returning to Topeka contributed to newspapers and magazines. He was in Mexico at the time of the first revolution and during the battle in Mexico City he fled with his wife to the United States. Since that time they lived at 1125 Tyler street until the death of Mrs. Van Antwerp. WHERE'D SHE GET IT? Hermit Woman in Heart of New York Leaves Fortune of $250,000. New York. May 12. Broadway's white way lights may be dazzling but they are not revealing. Investigation into the death at Wallack's hotel, cor ner of Forty-third and Broadway, In the very center of the lobster palace district, of Miss Caroline Marshall, an aged spinster, revealed that for five years she had virtually lived the life of a hermit, had not stepped a foot from her rooms and had hidden away in money and securities $250,000.

Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkali. This' dries the scalp, makes- the hair brittle, and is very harmful. Just plain mulsified cocoanut oil (which is pure and en tirely greaselese), is much better than the most expensive soap or anything else you can use for shampooing, as this can't possibly injure the hair. Simply moisten your hair with water and rub it in. One or two teasspoon fuls will make an abundance of rich, creamy lather, and cleanses the hair and scalp thoroughly. THe lather rinses out easily, and removes every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and ex cessive oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves it fine -and silky, bright, fluffy and easy to manage. You can get mulsified cocoanut oil at most any drug store. It is very cheap, and a few ounces is enough to last everyone in the family for months.

GREW LACKED TRAINING Roanoke Survivor Explains the Loss of So Many Lives. San Francisco, May 12 No word of the missing lifeboats of the steamer Roanoko has reached here from Port San Luis. Along the coast for 30 miles watchers scanned the sea for signs of the boats. Outside, the tanker Lansing and the steamer Yosemite cruised fruitlessly up and down the coast. At a San Luis Obispo hospital the three survivors, Joseph Elb, Manuel Lopez and Calles Robino, are gradually gaining in strength. A report was circulated that the steamer Edgar. H. Vance had picked up a lifeboat containing two men, one dead and one living, but there is no confirmation of the story. The. de stroyers Hull and Truxton were dis patched today from San riego. to make a systematic search for the missing men and boats Manuel Lopez recovered sufficiently today to talk. "The Roanoke's crew was Inexper ienced," he said. "A well trained crsw could have launched all of the 12 lifeboats and saved everybody on board. The listing of the vessel went on for hours before the steamer finally tipped over." Attorney C.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL FRIDAY EVENING, MAY 12, 1916 Weak Like Samson That's the Lattimore's Heroes Loaded With Bouquets Since Their Return By CLUG After the Savages had played their first two games in Denver the Denver Post carried a black type 8-column line at the head of its sporting page that read as follows THE TOPEKA BALL CLUB IS WEAK YES, JUST LIKE SAMSON. The compliment, coming from a paper in the home town of a rival club was so unusual that several of the members of Manager Lattimore's team bought papers to clip it out and show to their friends back home. Although the admission of its greatness by a Denver paper is unusual, the fact remains that Lattimore and Savage have one of the strongest teams that ever was assembled in the Western league, and proof of this was furnished local fans Thursday after noon when the players stepped out and took Rebel Oakes and his Grizzlies to a 5 to 4 cleaning with little effort. As a defensive organization, the whole team is as good as they make them without the big league stamp. Its ability in this re spect has never been questioned. But, within the last week it has developed into an equally strong offensive aggregation, and if the pill hitting performances of the past few days are kept up, then it ought to be easy picking for Topeka from now until the end of the season. Three examples of the offensive tactics that make the Savages certain pennant contenders were furnished Thursday afternoon. Joe Agler tne Buckeye first baseman; Al Schweitzer, the Cincinnati outfielder, and George Cochran, of Carthage, Missouri, com posed the trio that furnished the examples. AGLKH'S A LKADEll. -In his first official time at bat. Ag ler dropped a safe one in short field. It was a good single without a doubt, and the average player would have been content to let it go at that. But Agler demonstrated that he is more than an average player by stretching it,into a two-bagger. On his way to first he summed up the stiuation at a glance. He figured that reaching sec ond was within the range of possibili ties, and he took the initial curve on high racing on to second without a moment's hesitation. It was a big chance, but he beat the ball to the hag by a matter of inches and by do ing so placed himself in a position to score on Cochran's single a few min utes later. Without taking this chance he- never would have scored, and without his score Topeka would not have won without taking the count in the last of the ninth. Schweitzer Slick SlUler. Schweitzer's aggression also was displayed at the keystone sack After getting a walk in the second inning, he-started to steal at an inopportune time. A perfect peg was made to get him. and the ball was there in time, hut Schweitzer made a swinging slide that carried him beyond both the sec ond baseman and the base and he made his detour so wide that he was able to negotiate a safe return before Reed could put it on him. Cochran has always been accredited with being a good base runner, and although they did not figure in the scoring,- he stole two advances out of three times on the paths Also, he kissed a triple into centerfield in the big seventh, scoring one run and plac ing himself In a position to score an other on Goodwin's sacrifice fly a short time after. OOI) PITCHING THURSDAY. The pitching In Thursday's game was the best that has been witnessed on., the local diamond this season. King, the Bear twirler. used an effec tive shotgun delivery throughout, and was greatly aided by the overhanging clouds that made it all the more dif ficult to see his speed offerings. West pitched a beautiful game, using his head as well as his arm. Only In the last inning did he allow as many as two hits to accumulate in one session, and these he followed with a pair of strikeouts. West however, looked his best in the first of the sixth session. After one run had been scored without a hit and with two on the bases and two down. Butcher came up to face him. West was wilder than he was at any other part of the game, and he prob ably knew, as other did. that the Cow Killer has a habit of hitting at oppor tune times. But he tightened up. held his head and proceeded to make Butcher fan for the third out. Wichita Needs Pitchers. The members of the team have been pretty well supplied with bouquets since their arrival home, and if they succeed in giving Wichita another trimming like the one tney gave jacK snn's men in his own town, there is no doubt but that they can even nave the pots the flowers grew in if they want them. And there is not a mem ber of the team who does not believe it will be an easy trick to trim the Wolves. "Where do you get that Wichita stuff?" a Savage remarked this morning. "Why they have about as much chance of winning the pen nant as Germany has of capturing London. I'll bet a new hat they won't finish 1-2-3, and unless they get some pitchers they will have to peddle some to. keep out of the cellar. AMERICAN' ASSOCIATION. R. H. E.

MENKE New York, May 12. The graves in the pugilistic churchyard have opened and many of their former inmates are stalking around snorting defis at the live ones'3 "As they wriggle in their shrouds, they shout that they are "as good or better than the joke fighters of today," and brandish their skeleton fists as exhibit A. Jim Barry, who was stroke oat in George Washington's boat when it crossed the Delaware, is most conspicuous among the resur rected. Pugilistically dead and" buried for many years, Jimmy arises and jibbers about being able to dispose of a few of the heavies. He is browsing around now in search of matches, while the graveyard keepers are searching for their missing charge. Tommy Burns, a great fighter in that period just preceding the Christian Era, "came back" a short time ago, beat a joke warrior, and now thinks that with a little training he can go right out and whale consciousness out of Jess Willard. And then there's Carl Morris, the first "white hope." Beaten so often and so decis ively Carl "retired" a year or so ago. But the smell of the resin and the lure of the gold were too powerful and Carl is back. WOLfiAST AND ATTELL. Ad Wolgast, walloped time and again by second raters, still insists that he can beat Freddie Welsh and spends most of his waking hours try ing to force him into a fight. The same thing goes for Johnny Coulon, onetime bantam titleholder. Johnny is old, as fighters go, and his onetime iron-like endurance is gone. But Johnny is sure that right now he could whip easily either Kid Williams or Kid Ertle. The presence of the gentle spring time has affected Abe Attell, too. The old king of the feathers yearns for "just one more fight." And he wants it to be against Benny Leonard, the best lightweight in the game today. Oi Yoi! Billy Papke, who won the middle weight championship from Stanley Ketchell and then lost it back again wants to fight again. He's been out of the ring for a long time, but tak ing it from Billy, he's quite capable of putting away a lot of the "middleweight shines." Now if some one will please page David, who won the championship SECURES DIVORCE; HE CAN RACE NOW Charlie Merz. Charlie Merz, Indianapolis race driver, has secured a divorce and come back into the hazardous racing port. He will drive a Pengeot car at Indianapolis, May 30, in the sixth annual international sweepstakes race. The car is owned by the Inter national Speedway Team Company, and the owners have a rule that mar ried men cannot drive. BASEBALL TODAY. Western League. Omaha at Sioux City, clear, 8:15 p. m.

Hoff man is released outright. from Goliath; Alexander, world's champion some centuries ago, and Na poleon the roster of pugilistic ghosts will be complete. Then let us have a battle royal between the phantoms. l'ACKT RESTLESS. Packey McF'arland also has heard the blare of the trumpet of ringdom's Gabriel. The Chicagoan announced after his fight with Mike Gibbons last summer that he was through with the game for all time. But now Packey wants to return long enough to take a few swats at Jack Britton, the so called welterweight champion. Brit ton claims the championship through his New Orleans victory over Ted Lewis. Packey insists Britton's claim to the championship Is not warranted by his record. Packey wants to fight Britton to prove that he is better than the New York "champion." Y'see, Packey longs to retire with some sort of championship. He could not force Ritchie or Welsh into the ring with him in a decision bout before he outgrew the lightweight limit. Now he is picking on Britton with the hope of meeting and then beating him and thus acquiring a crown. 25 YEARS AGO IN TOPEKA From thm columns of THE TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL May IS, 1891.
