HOME EDITION TOPEKA, KANSAS, MONDAY EVENING, MAY 22, 1916 TEN PAGES THIS EDITION 2 CENTS HUGH Jitney Ordinance Passed By City Commissioners At Stormy Session In City Hall This Morning ROOSEVELT fllLIL TOIWffEB .Li Ordinance as Amended Passed liy City Commissioners. Kansas Avenue May Be Used; Restrictions on West Side. PETITIONS FOR REFERENDUM Jitney Men Declare They'll Ask for 'ew Law Altogether. Two Thousand Attended Mass Meeting: at Auditorium. The jitney ordinance as amended and passed by the city commissioners today is nearing a point where To pekans may be benefited by addi tional service to and from down town. The city officials, making: many changes in the original ordinance after the instigation on the part of the State Journal, passed a measure that in many ways is fair to the drivers of jitneys. It gives them Kansas ave nue, streets on the east side and all streets on the west side with the ex ception of streets used by the street railway. In this .way Topekans have better and more accessible service on the i territory not covered by street .cars. Now if the commissioners will not in sist upon a. prohibitive license fee, the new rule will be of adantage to all persons who depend upon the carriers fi'.r their trips to and from the down town districts. The State Journal asks absolute fairness in all regulation to the street railway as well as the jit neys. By a three to two vote the ordin ance, providing that jitneys cannot run on streets used by street cars, except as amended, was passed by the city com missioners today. Commissioners Tandy and Porter, with Mayor House voted for the ordinance. Commission ers Wasson and Newland voted against it. Amended for Jitneys. The ordinance which the commis sion passed this morning was altered in several points and was not the samf1 as vxs read Saturday, accord ins to the commissioners. 'rhe jitneys were given the privilege to operate on Kansas avenue, on, all streets east of the avenue and on all streets west of the avenue, except th-se used by the street railway com pany urder the present license fee. I'.ut i" the jitneys want to operate on streets west of the avenue on which there are street car tracks they will be taxed the $300 graduated fee as proposed in the ordinance read Satur day. The Ijccnse Fee. According to the new ordinance which will take effect June 19 all Jitney drivers who wish to operate un der the new ordinance must pay an annual tax as follows: For all cars not exceeding five passengers $300 per annum; from five to eight passenger cars $350; and for those cars carry ing eight or more passengers $400. This applies if they wish to operate on any street in the city. The caucus held in the mayor's of fice did not show signs of breaking up till long after the noon hour when sud denly the jitney committee, who had been laboring with the commissioners for over three hours, appeared in the outer office of the mayor and an nounced that they were unable to agree. Immediately after this the mayor and commissioners appeared and an nounced that the ordinance would be passed as introduced at their meeting time p,ns were' formulated for con Saturday. j sideratinn of the new ordinance. The commission room was already It is stated that there will be no filled with jitney men and Topeka tax payers who were friendly to them, as well as a number of street railway of ficials, who were there to watch the proceeding, when the mayor entered and called the meeting to order. "As there are quite a number of people here who have been here for some time the lirst thing to be con sidered will be the jitney ordinance," announced the mayor. Jct Busy Anions Friends. Attorney Green representing the jit- ney men had just finished a short speech to the crowd, tn which he told the men that petitions for the referen- j dum would be circulated at once and j for them to get busy among their friends with the petitions. J. O. Stevic advised the men "to stand together. Get out and work and within 36 days the question would be decided one way or ihe other." The city clerk was instructed by the mayor to read the ordinance section by section, which was done, and the commissioners voted on each section as read and the final, and test vote did not come until after all of the sections had been read. In Effect in 0 Days. After the passage of the ordinance the mayor advised those present that the ordinance would be held up for a reasonable length of time in order that all those interested may meet with the commissioners and thresh the matter out. section by section. Attor ney Green asked on behalf of the jit ney men that 30 days' time be allowed before publication and the enforce ment of the ordinance. Commissioner Wasson moved that this request be granted and Commissioner Tandy of-, (.rH a substitute to the effect that June 3 be the limit of time set. When the matter was voiea on iuuj ouu stitute motion was lost and the Was son motion was carried with Tandy voting no, while Wasson. Porter and Newland voted in favor of the longer '"as the reading of the ordinance pro gressed Commissioner Tandy offered a resolution to the effect that all streets named in the ordinance be struck qut and that as a substitute, all streets east or me ra m.c ------on street be included, as affecting the jitney with reference to this part of the city Attorney Green offered and read a protest of citizens living in this district against the proposed action of the commissioners and in conjunc tion with this protest presented a huge mass of petitions carrying over S 000 names of citizens who were against the efTorts to drive the jitney from the streets. now oecupi' d by the street car company. The petitions were receivd and or dered filed, but permission was given the jitney men to retain possession of them until the commissioners called for them. Contract Broken? When the section referring to the time limit of the licenses was read Attornev Green called the attention of the commissioners to the fact that "the city had already made a contract with the jitney men and now they proposed to break it." The real reason which lay behind this protest, it was learned afterwards, was that it wassimply lay ing the foundation for future legal action. .-When -the time came fof-the reet vote, those in the rear of the hall mounted chairs in order that they might obtain a full and clear view of all that was going on. Porter Voted "Yes." Intense silence prevailed as the clerk began to call the roll. The first name called was that of Newland, who voted "no" in a loud voice so that there was no misunderstanding on the stand he was taking. Tandy came next and he voted "yes." Por ter, on whom the laboring class had placed hope, voted against the jitDey men by voting "yes." Wasson voted "no." Immediately after the vote was an nounced a Mrs. Avery asked permis sion to say a word, which the mayor readily granted, and raised a rousing cheer and caused a big laugh by stating "Mr. Mayor and commission i ers. I wiph to call the attention of the commissioners that they have omitted to legislate the jitney off all of the paved alleys in the city of To peka. They must have forgotten this." Jitney Men Are Mad. To say that the jitney men are dis appointed at the action of the commis sion is expressing it mildly for, as sev eral of them stated on the steps of the city hall, "the election next year be gins from this moment and organized labor will fight this matter to a finish." That organized labor intends to call on the city commissioners to begin an immediate investigation of the various statements which the street car com pany and the Topeka Edison company have offered the city in which they show their condition with reference to their tax. is the statement of many of the men who attended the city hall today. "If they pay such a huge lump of the city's taxes we want to know it and will ask the commissioners to get busy and have their books audited to see Just how much back tax they really owe." was the statement of S. K. Mc- Grew. Referendum Petitions. In any event the action of the city commissioners today throws the ques tion wide open and all of the citizens will have an opportunity to express their opinion at a coming election which, it is stated, will be held just as soon as the- referendum petitions can be obtained and the .publication of the election take place, after June 19. The meeting was orderly through out, there being no disturbance of any kind by any of the men to mar the proceedings. They were deadly se rious. Meeting This Afternoon. A meeting was held in Industrial Council hall at 3 o'clock this after- petitions for the referendum until after the publication of the ordinance, which will mal.o it effective, and as this will not take place until after June 19. there will be no agitation for the submission of the question at this time. In the meantime a committee from the Jitney men's union will be organ ized and will meet with the city com missioners to iron out the various kinks in the ordinance as passed. Referendum petitions, petitions signed by 6,000 objecting to the jitney (Coutlnued oo Pago 2.J SHOT BYAWOMAN Young Farmer Slain at Door of His Home. Mrs. Stephens Claims Kistner Had Ruined Her Life.

CURTIS MAKES A STATEMENT Kansas Senator Says It Is Any Man's Race Still. He Will Support WhoeTer Is Nominated by G. O. P. Washington, May 22. The first statement by Associate Justice Charles F Hughes, of the United States su preme court, on the Republican nomi r.ation for president has been obtained. He was quoted by a leader in the Re publican party favorable to the pre convention campaign for his nomina tion. Justice Hughes said: "In my opinion Roosevelt is going to be nominated, so it makes it un necessary to discuss any one else at alL" Great pressure has been brought to bear upon Justice Hughes to-autoonze the car ipaign in hir behalf. That was his reply. Justice Hughes's -statement was in terpreted by his supporters to mean that he has made up his mind ha will not connive at getting the nomination, so that if he should be named, he may be able to say that while on the ru preme bench he never by word Or deed sought the honor. His friends declare he will not ha disappointed if he is not nominated, that he is perfectly sincere and con tent to remain on the bench. His closest friends, those most anxious to know his real attitude toward the nomination, assert that they are wholly without guidance or suggestion from him. Refuse It After Fight. They believe, however, that Justice Hughes will be controlled by the pres ence or lack of unanimity of spirit at the Chicago convention. They believe also he would refuse the nomination if it should come to him after a bitter fight. Republican senators declare there is no question that Colonel Roosevelt would support Justice Hughes if the latter were nominated. They say Colonel Roosevelt's controlling desire ie the defeat of the Democratic ad ministration and that he ie thoroughly stirred up. "Whatever the future may have In store," one of the former president's warmest friends said, "for the present Colonel Roosevelt will support the Re publican party. He may reserve the right, however, to reorganize the Pro gressive party." Prominent Republican leaders in congress have been informed that Colonel Roosevelt considers the pLat form to be adopted at Chicago as at even more importance to the future of the party than the candidate to be named. No matter who the candidate may be he has made it known, they said, that unlees the platform is strongly American he will fight the ticket. These views from Colonel RooerH were brought to Washington by a Re publican of national prominence who is a member of the "old guard." No Accident Anticipated. It is the belief of Republican led ers that no accident can happen at Chicago. The delegates are going there after a great deal of reflection and with the determination t" nomi nate the man who will win the fight. They are primed to pick a winner. All serious minded Republicans, it was said, realize that it would be foolish to decline to nominate either Roose velt or Hughes. the sentiment for whom in their opinion, is manifest. 11 was said further that it makes no dif ference how the delegates are nom inally lined up, they will name either Roosevelt or Hughes. Senator Curtis of Kanxas said: "The Republican presidonti I noroi Cob r! sued on Pace Two BRYAN WANTS DRY PLANK IN DEMOCRAT PLATFORM Atlantic City, N. J.. May 22. Willian. J.

J Brewster Helps Prosecution. Feeling throughout the entire west ern section of the state was intense -hen the details of the murder of Hiss Bvers became public.

S'Mlss Byers was assaulted and mur dered the afternoon of October 22 last ear as she started for her home after Concluding the week's school in a Sinelv district in Grant county. Her iude body was found Saturday morn- tig. Later the clothes were found i a neat bundle and hidden a dis ince of several rods from the scene at the crime. i Bloodhounds were called and fol iwed a trail which led to the house t here Sweet lived. The man admitted e waa in a field a short distance from She crime, admitted having seen Miss Svers after she left school and ad mitted he might have seen her as she 4'ent into a narrow ravine where the Crime was committed. But Sweet de filed that he gave the woman more t3ian a pasing glance or knew any filing of the crime until the body was found. He admitted he might have Siade the trail which the dogs fol lowed, but declared he was hunting jpbbits and was in no manner guilty f the assault and murder. t Tooth Marks on Breast.

Trial of Jpeeph S. Chick, head of an invest ment company, under indictment on a charge of embezzling funds of the Strarritt Bible and Training school was called in the criminal court today and continued to September 11. Attorneys for the defendants told the court their witnesses were widely scattered and vipre unable to be present for various reasons. The school is maintained by hj, Methodist South. The state will attempt to prove that the slender, nattily attired, smiling youth who sits quiely before a long table in this drab and silent court room, deliberately wooed and mar ried Clara Peck with the precon ceived intention of murdering her, her father and mother and any other persons It might be necessary to mur der in order that he might get pos session of the Peck millions. Married to Develop Plot. The state will introduce evidence to prove that Waite. married to Clara Peck and having Mrs. Elizabeth Hor ton as his "studio companion" in a big New York hotel, actually did get Mr. and Mrs. Peck to New York on a visit and murder them by poison ing them with arsenic; that he got his wife to will her estate to him and was planning her murder as the third of the series in his alleged scheme to get the Peck millions. And that after murdering his mother-in-law and engineering the cre mation of her body to prevent the dis covery of the cause of her death, he bribed a New York undertaker with $9,000, ($7,800 of this amount was found where the undertaker told the police he had hid It), to swear that arsenic was used in the fluid employed in the embalming of his father-in-law's body. Affinity Goes on Stage. With his wife turned against him and prosecuting her suit for divorce; and Margaret Horton, his "Studio Companion," fresh from the triumphs of a vaudeville engagement won as a result of the publicity she gained from her association with him, Waite faces his fight against the electric chair without the support either of the woman he married or the woman he squandered his money on. While he lay on a cot in Bellevue hospital, recovering from the effects of poisons he had taken in an attempt to die after the poisoning of his father-in-law was discovered, Waite told several stories of how it ha,d all hap pened. Chief among these was the fable of the Man From Egypt. This mysteriaus and sinister Spirit. Waite is said to have assured District Attorney Swann, was with him night and day, goading him on to evil deeds. Had Dual Personality. Nameless and intangible and pos sessed of the fiendish resourcefulness of ten thousand devils. The Man From Egypt never has been found. Nor is he expected to be. Another story Judge Swann reported as having been told him by Waite was that his father-in-law was tired of liv ing and asked him to get the arsenic for him so he could die. It was only a few days after the death of Peck at the Waite apartments on Riverside drive that the first hint came to the authorities here and in Grand Rapids that all was not aa it should be. Thia hint took the form of a mys terious telegram from "K. Adams" in New York to the authorities in Grand Rapids, advising an investiagtion be fore Mr. Peck's body was interred. It has since develoned that when Waite saw this in the papers, he went to Margaret Horton at the School of Languages where they first met and according to Mrs. Horton, asked her to Duy nim certain "sleeping powders," which she says she did. Mrs. Horton, who at orce began giving out columns and columns of interviews, insisted that the "studio" she shared with Waite in the hotel was used only as-a studio, that Waite never was anything more than friend ly with her and that they had regis tered under an assumed name, as man and wife, to get the suite. Hortons Suddenly Became Rich. Harry Horton, husband of The Woman of Mystery, at first declared that Margaret was so utterly innocent of the ways of the world and so in capable of any wrong that he felt her association with Waite was to be en tirely condoned. Horton said his wife was "an inno cent dove among a flock of crows." Since then, however, Horton has been credited with the statement that he knew his wife was getting money from some one, but that he didn't know who and he didn't like to put a detective on her trail Mrs. Dorothy van Palmenberg. a friend of the Hortons who s-aunchly supported Mrs. Horton's story at first, later quarreled with her and gave out a long interview in which she told how poor the Hortons were when sh knew them a couple of years ago and how suddenly and luxuriously affluent they were when she met them after Mrs. Horton had met Waite. Mrs. van Palmenberg told of find ing lingerie and a silk kimono and articles of male attire In a suitcase Mrs. Horton brought to Ver house from the "studio apartment" the night after the first hint of the Peck poison ing became public and Waite had locked himself in his Riverside Drive apartments. Waite Attempted Suicide. When the police went to arrest Waite the following morning they found him in bed apparently dead, with the poison containers beside him. Waite was not dead, but he lay In a stupor for days, being transferred to Bellevue when he was recovered suf ficiently to be moved. Should Waite maintain his inno cence in court today the trial will proceed, so far as the defense is con cerrted, probably on the theory that Waite was temporarily insane when he committed the crimes charged against him. The state will try to prove that he was at all times sane and that his alleged crimes were planned and car ried to their conclusion in cold blood. Should this situation arise it will develop a battle between alienists such as has not been seen since the Harry Thaw trials. The court room today was jammed to the doors with curious men and women and hundreds of others were turned away by the line of police guarding the entrances to the build ine. A venire of 250 men is drawn from which to start choosing a jury, but should the case actually go to trial. it is expected that this number will be far from sufficient. REAFFIRMFOR T, R. Kansas Progressives Will Main tain Faith in Colonel. State Convention to Select Dele- gates in Topeka Tnesday. NEARLY SIX HUNDRED TO COME Representatives From Nearly Every County in Kansas. And All Resolutions Will Total 200 Words, Says White. Kansas Progressives are expected to reaffirm their allegiance and faith in Theodore Roosevelt when the-third party workers meet in lopeKa Tues day for the state convention. The purpose of the convention is the se lection of 1 3 delegates and IS alter nates to the national convention. Resolutions to be adopted by the con vention will probably endorse the stand of Roosevelt on national poli cies, the policies of the Progressive party In its former campaigns and may urge tne nomination ui xiuuseven m Chicago. Nearly 600 Kansas progressives are expected to attend the state conven tion. Delegates have been selected from almost every county in the state, and leaders in the party believe that a majority of these counties will be represented in the convention. Wil liam Allen White. Progressive national committeeman for Kansas, will be one of the prominent men in Tuesday s meeting. White will come to Topeka this evening as a guest of the Topeka Press Club and will tomorrow direct the affairs of the Kansas Bull Moose. Many Are Coming. U. "S. Sartin, chairman of the state committee; Sheffield Ingalls of Atchi son, O. W. Dawson of Great Bend, Mike Sutton of Dodge City; Helen Eckert of Lawrence, and a number of others active in the affairs of the Pro gressive party in 1914 are expected. Sartin will probably preside at the meeting which will be held in the auditorium. In addition to the selec tion of delegates to the national con vention, the convention will arrange for the filing of names of candidates for presidential electors and for the placing of a congressional ticket in the field. Resolutions for the convention have not been drafted. White stated today over the long distance telephone. They will, however, be very short. Record In Brevity. "I really haven't given the resolu tions a thought," White said. "I don't doubt, though, that the convention will pass Teddy resolutions and reaffirm its former action. But there will be very little verbiage in the resolutions almost a record of brevity, you might say. I really think the entire set of resolutions which will go before the state convention will not exceed 160 to 200 words." Many of the third party leaders will come to Topeka tonight. A number of women have been elected as delegates to the convention, and it is probable that the new voters will be both prom inent and active in the convention. It is also probable that the Progressives will vote to send some one or two women to Chicago. there has been too much moisture. For these reasons, some replanting will be necessary, especially in the northeast. Soil conditions are such that, in the main, corn will respond quickly to warm weather. In several of the south-central and western counties rains would be welcome as the surface soil is dry. The general average condition of the state's grow ing corn is given as 8S.1, 100 repre senting a satisfactory stand and growth. The oats outlook is less opti mistic than a month ago, the condi tion now averaging 75.7, as against 88.4 then. Sumner, the leading coun ty in oats acreage, reports a condition on its crop of only 37 per cent, and Harper, adjoining on the west, has a similar prospect. The cause of their losses is attributed largely to tne green bugs, which did more or less damage to oats in several other coun ties in that part of the state. Alfalfa and Grasses.

The sec ond week of the trial of Will H. Or pet charged with the murder of his former sweetheart, Marion Lambert, opened today with the resumption of examination of prospective jurors. After a week's work during which time about four hundred veniremen were questioned four jurors remained in the box. It is expected that the jury will be complete before the end of the week. acre of about 13.5 bushels, on the 8,010,000 acres of growing wheat as reported a month ago. It should be borne m mind, however, that the acreage figures are subject to revi sion later, when the official returns of assessors are received. According to this investigation there has been marked depreciation in the Kansas wheat prospect, as a whole, in the past month. The loss is mainly in the so-called "wheat belt" of the central third of the state, because of Hessian fly and dry weather, and in some of the western counties, espe cially in the southwest, through lack or sufficient moisture. In the east- ern part the prospect has been pretty well maintained. Recent rains, quite general throughout the state, have re- lieved moisture conditions, except in the south west portion, where rain is still needed. The chinch bug is not mentioned by a single reporter, but the green bug caused considerable damage in several south central coun ties, notably in Cowley, Harper. Sedg wick and Sumner. There is consid erable complaint in some of the more prominent wheat producing counties of the poor color of the wheat, and uneven and spindly growth. This is variously attributed to the Hessian fly, poor seed beds, lack of vitality in seed and winds and dry weather. Bis Counties Suffer. Important wheat producing counties suffering the greatest injury, which is reflected in the lower prospective yields indicated, are Stafford, Pratt, sumner, MCfnerson, saline and Ot tawa, where not to exceed 10 bushels to the acre is anticipated, while Staf ford looks for no more than 9 bushels The seven counties of Barton, Ford, Pawnee, Pratt, Reno, Stafford and Sumner, having 20,000 or more acres each and aggregating 1.682,189 acres, or considerably more than one-fifth of the state's total, report a prospec tive acre yield of about 11 bushels. Of the prominent wheat growing counties. Trego, Gove, Graham, Ness and Sheridan, in the northwest, report the best outlook. As the season advances injury by the Hessian fly is more and more manifest. This pest appears to be present in greater numbers in the counties having the larger acreages in wheat. It seems to be confining its activities pretty exclusively to the wheat fields of the central third of-the state, and has in many cases despoiled the bright prospect of a month ago. The infestation is undoubtedly the worst in the history of the state. While it may appear outside the province of this report to refer to future possibili ties, it seems advisable to note the apprehension expressed by growers as to the outcome of infested wheat that has not already been rendered worth less by the fly. Whatever may actual ly develop out of this situation, for weal or woe, will be definitely known and reported upon 'by the board a months hence, in June. Corn and Oats. Corn and Oats Reporters suggest that only about 80 per cent of the area that will be devoted to corn is planted, and that much of the planted com has not yet made its appearance through the ground. It has been generally too cool for corn, and in some portions of the chief corn growing sections Johnson 43,919 Kearny 5,311 Kingman Iib,b43 Kiowa Labette 46,655 Lane 74,790 Leavenworth 40,779 Lincoln 115,214 Linn 9.046 Logan 22,442 Lyon 5,733 Marion 83,400 Marshall 67,054 McPherson 161,004 Meade 113,103 Miami 23,494 Mitchell 12i,oo6 Montgomery 29,521 Morris Morton Nemaha Neosho Ness Norton Osage Osborne Ottawa Pawnee Phillips Pottawatomie Pratt Rawlins Reno Republic Rice Riley Rooks Rush Russell Saline Scott 11,266 3,008 39.210 26,137 97,615 ..102,272 4,046 .127,140 ..104.108 .242.632 98,976 20,649 ..229.104 132,703 257,851 64,277 156,995 18.577 182,115 195,165 151,459 107,466 26.936 Seward 50.643 Shawnee 18.125 Sedgwick 159,814 Sheridan 125,695 Sherman 27,645 Smith 60,600 Stafford 219,203 Stanton 32 Stevens 18.342 Sumner 212,002 Thomas 147,015 Trego 115,133 Wabaunsee 12,591 Wallace 1,200 Washington 69,163 Wichita 6.292 Wilson 10,755 Woodson 2.840 Wyandotte 8,884 14 85 21 86 18 85 14 45 13 75 16 73 18 85 10 83 24 93 12 86 10 58 13 7S 15 88 13 86 14 76 19 76 12 75 14 69 12 66 15 86 15 78 16 87 17 82 14 60 16 85 14 74 12 82 17 93 13 78 17 83 16 86 19 85 18 83 13 78 15 62 6 80 21 78 12 71 12 37 15 85 14 92 14 82 19 SO 16 85 15 81 15 81 20 68 12 50 14 SO 11 6S 15 90 13 76 12 72 16 66 15 82 20 94 15 87 15 86 .10 86 13 83 13 80 14 75 12 80 19 92 13 80 14 78 14 88 16 HI 15 73 20 88 13 77 10 71 15 62 11 84 21 92 10 62 12 67 12 77 13 76 13 75 16 82 13 81 14 80 13 73 10 78 16 86 13 60 19 83 12 68 16 87 12 60 17 85 9 76 9 70 13 67 10 37 14 83 20 SO 22 91 13 90 15 82 7 65 16 74 19 84 IS 7S CONDENSED NEWS i JITNEY MEETING IContlnnxl rrom Pace Oacl ordinance, 3,000 cheering citizens, mu sic, free jitney rides, attorneys and public speakers all featured this morning at the monstrous mass meet ing held in the city auditorium by the jitney men as a protest against a jit ney ordinance brought before the city commission.

Captain Waters literally tore the hide from the city commission, the state supreme court, street railway company and Mayor Jay E. House in particular. Most startling of any dis closures made at the meeting was that read by Captain Waters which follows: "In the report which the Topeka Edison company rendered the city two items appear; "Depreciation for year 1914.539,375.59 "Depreciation for year 1915. 27,153.03 pass now, we should not lose our in terest and keep our neighbors and friends interested and prepare them for any other petition that might be presented to them."

Administra tion leaders in framing the new emer gency revenue law which they hope to have effective July y, plan to eliminate the special taxes on documents, tele grams, tlephone messages, negotiable instruments, perfumery and cosmetics, the special taxes on tobacco, bankers and brokers, theaters and other places of amusement. With the elim ination of these features, the leaders estimate the law still will bring J 17,- 000,000 between July and January, when it would expire by limitation. The special taxes on beer, wines. etc, would be retained. Arrest Prominent Mexicans. Douglas, Ariz., May 22.

"In other words, they have charged up depreciation in advance of its hap pening, making tne last nail oi eacn year's depreciation apply to the first half statement." On Paying Taxes. Continuing, Captain Waters declared that if the city railway company, which he described as "a foreign cor poration with no Interest in Topeka except to get its money," would pay taxes on an equal looting witn tne small property owner, some of them jitney drivers, the city would derive twice as much taxes from tne com pany as it does now. After paying his respects to the rail way company, the captain turned his attention to Mayor Jay E. House and the city commission. First he insinu ated that an ordinance so drastic could, or would not be conceived by the commission unless some power was behind it. There is only one way to look for anyone interested enough to suggest such an ordinance, he de clared, and that is toward the rail way company, lie left the commis sion alone after that and devoted all his energies to Mayor House. C Blow at House. Tou have a mayor here." said Captain Waters, "who declares that if the whole town is against him he in tends to vote for the ordinance. Most people say that the opinion of good men is the making of knowledge. Evi dently, your mayor doesn't want knowledge. I want to tell you right now that Jay House can't say I'll close my ears to the people. If so he must not have as high an estimate of his constitu ency as he did during election time. In short, gentlemen. Mayor House is a mixture of Smart Aleckism. If he has a reputation of being smart, re member how much of the reputation was taken from other paragraphers. For years he has shunned decency and shaken hands with vulgarity in nis columns. Captain Waters next threw a few shafts into the supreme court of Kan sas for upholding the Wichita ordi nance and thus giving House and his commission an excuse for presenting a similar ordinance. In fact. Captain Waters looks upon the supreme court as more to blame than any other body. He urged the audience to familiarize itself with those men on the supreme bench who had handed down such an opinion and cast no more votes for them. Judge Porter, he stated, de murred in the opinion written by Judge West while Judge Johnson did not concur m the opinion. Dr. -Eva Harding was greeted with round after round of applause when she stepped to the platform. Dr. Hard ing described the streets as public property and decried any action that might be taken to quash competition and uphold monopoly. She cited the street railway company's arbitrary ac tion in selecting a route to Gage Park as an example of its power with a city commission. Fair regulation of jit nevs is favored by Dr. Harding, but she does not believe in the drastic clauses contained in the one proposed bv the citv commission. George Hughes tola or attenaing meetings of jitney men, of his urging upon them for giving a good service as the only means of getting the public to stand behind them. The mere fact that the public had supported jitney service in Topeka was proof that they desired such a service plus street car srvices. the speaker stated Added to this nroof is that brought to light in the last few days by the thousands of names on petitions of protests and the monstroils mass meeting which the speaker addressed. "Scorn should be heaped upon us for electing such servants if this ordi nance is passed," said Mr. Hughes. Can't Break Contract. H. C. -Green, attorney representing the jitney men, likewise rawhided the mayor and commission, ine I act tnat the supreme court has once upheld an ordinance similar to the one pro posed does not mean that it will not reverse its decision, Mr. Green de clared, and he cited instances where opinions had been reversed. Further, Mr. ureen stated tnat tne citv now had a contract with jitney men to operate until their licenses expire in September and could not break it by enforcing any sucn ordi nance at this time. Another point brought out by Mr. Green was to the effect that the city had no right under state statutes to permit any corporation to operate in any part of the city under an exclu sive franchise. s Merely Aids Transportation. In analyzing Judge West's decision Mr. Green pointed out that jitneys did not maintain depots and waiting sta tions. "I wonder if he had in mind the dinky little transfer station at Eighth and Kansas avenue?" said Mr. Green. The audience laughed and applauded. "The initiation of the jitney busi ness does not mean that the city rail way will have to go out of business, but it does indicate healthy competi tion, a more adequate transportation service for its citizens and one which the citizens have demonstrated by the support of "he jitneys that they need and desire. i "Even should the ordinance fail to Because of a handkerchief and a footprint the police believe it was a woman who robbed the home of J. J. Wehe at 1108 Van Buren street Sun day night. The house was entered while the family was entertaining company. The burglar used a box to get in at the window, dropped a handkerchief in one of the rooms and left a woman's size footprint in the yard. A watch and case taken from the house were found near the front gate. The Wehes know the box was not under the window before the burglary. they know the handkerchief does not belong to any member of the family. and that the footprint was not made by any one of the household. The rob bery was not discovered until the fam ily was ready to retire. Mr. Wehe believes. the burglar was frightened away when he went out to close the garage door.

Ifoo-iiei-s Resent "Instructions." There has been evidence of some ralher sharp feeling between me cny and country delegates, over the mat- ,.f Btvip. which mav crop up in tome form during the convention. The only open display of feeling on v,o nnint thus far comes from the i nil inns delegation, whose members have expressed themselves as being nnietiv determined to ignore advice unri instructions from New York, dis tributed gratis through the federa tion's magazines telling how to dress while here. One hundred wealthy Indiana women are en route here on a spe cial train to attend the- convention. Thev are piciued by what they term the "absurd effrontery" of New York women in seeking to dictate "good taste" in dress and they are coming eouinDed with means whereby to uphold their reputation as one of the best dressed groups or women attena ins the biennials. For weeks preceding their depar ture, Indiana delegates neia lniormai indignation meetings, enlarging on i 20-line paragraph of instructions en titled, "Correct Dress at the Coming Biennial," published uncer the name of Miss Mary A. Peck, "state cnair man C. S. B.. and a New Yorker,' in which she informed the delegates from outlyinjr states how they should dress while in New York so as not to appear in poor taste. Fifth Avenue Tastes. "Many delegates do not know that New York women wear only strictly tailored suits on the streets or at business meetings, and little or no jewel rv," began the instructions. "That woman could never have seen Fifth avenue," declared one of Indi ana s most prominent club women. "Strictly tailored suits, indeed!" Southern women were instructed by Miss Peck to discard their spring tuits for their last winter ones because their spring suits probably have light colors. "Preferably, choose black, said Miss Peck. "It is also advisable to wear small hats. Well dressed women avoid the large ones," continued the "New Yorker." These, with gloves and comfortable shoes, will leave them ready to enjoy their visit. The Indiana women quietly went ahead with their plans. Today's spe cial train would be done an injustice if mention only were made of the Pull man coaches. The baggage cars were filled to overflowing with trunks. large and small, and the average was about two and one-third per delegate. Costumes are to be changed about every eight minutes at the biennial. Carries Elaborate Wardrobe. To Indiana falls the honor of sup plying Mrs. Percy v. Pennypacker, federation president, with her aide. Mrs. Elizabeth Claypool Earl of Con nersville. will be seated at Mrs. Penny packer's right during the convention. assisting the president in her arduous duties incident to presiding over America's most interesting gathering of women. Mrs. Earl affects soft grays and lav enders, which strikingly contrast with her beautiful, abundant white hair. On one occasion she will wear a hand some black lace gown, plentifully De trained and set off by diamonds in her hair and at the throat. This evening gown will be made more effective by a large ostrich fan and a rose colored scarf. Mrs. Grace Julian Clarke, one of the directors of the general federation who also will be seen on the platform. dresses quietly, but always in extreme ly good taste. Mrs. Carolyn R. Fairbank of Fort Wayne, president of the Indiana fed eration, who is on he program, also is one of Indiana's best dressers. Best Dressed Woman in Indiana. Mrs. John N. Carey of Indianapolis, often spoken of as the best dressed woman in Indiana, who was elected honorary vice president general of the general E. A. R., has trunks full of wonderful lace gowns, hats and gloves, and her jewel cases Well! Mrs. Albion Fellows Bacon of Evansville, writer, housing authority. and the woman who twists Indiana's legislatures about her little finger. prefers lavenders and grays. She will be seen in a stunning lavender and gold evening gown and will wear a lavender mandarin coat. Others of the party who are sure to attract attention "even among the 'New Yorkers' are Mrs. John Worth Kern, wife of the United States sen ator; Mrs. Samuel M. Ralston, wife of Indiana's governor; and Mrs. Felix T. McWhirter. whose beautiful white lace gowns are of striking design. one Indiana woman, commenting upon what she considers the attempt of New York club women to dictate out of town delegates dress, said: hay Miss Peek Insulted Them. "The instructions of Miss Marv A. Peck were not only In very poor taste tney were Insulting to every woman outside of New York. "New York women seem to have the idea that they are about to entertain a lot of country women. We do not relish this 'country cousin' idea. We will not be henpecked by Miss Peck."

Answer to Kirk pa trick Mandamus Filed In Supreme Court, Charges of insubordination in office. formation of political cliques and mis use of funds of the Knights Ladies 01 becunty lodge are untrue, accord ing to an answer filed in the supreme court by defendant officers in a suit for a writ of mandamus. The suit was inea oy w. a. KirkpatricK, president; against John V. Abrahams, secretary: A. W. Fulton. Frank Bonebrake. and R. D. McCliman. In his suit for a writ. Kirkpatrick sought to compel the defendant of ficers to accept names of committees certified by him. His petition charged the defendants with mismanagement of the affairs of the national society and with the formation of a clique to control the offices and dictate the policies of the order. All of these charges are denied in the answer filed by the defendants. As a counter charge it Is urged by the defendants that Kirkpatrick has himself been responsible for many of the acts charged by him. It is assert ed that action being taken in matters at tms time should have been taken in 191Z and that Kirkpatrick has acted in violation of his oath of office and in a manner that Is not for the best interests of the order.

Among the big surprises planned for the "old grads" will be the "Com mencement Promenade" or "Wash burn Walk." Following a big banquet at the Mills building No speeches al lowed the students, former students and almuni will flock back to the campus. The campus is to be illumi nated by hundreds of 'electric lights and Japanese lanterns. The buildings will be decorated and open for inspec tion. At different places along the walk there will probably be booths or stages where the promenaders will re ceive free entertainment. The stud ents and co-eds of 1916 will pair off and exchange greetings with the old grad and his former co-ed wife of the class of 1880. Free refreshments will probably be served at different points in and around the campus and a gen eral informal "high jinks reunion" will be held. WOMAN DID IT Miss Grace Fisher Swings Leav enworth County to Suffrage By Conduct of Office of Clerk of District Court. KEPT CAMPAIGN PROMISES Reduced Number of Clerks and Cut Salaries. Without These Two, Teutons Can Jfot Advance. Paris, May 22. French grenadiers occupied several block houses in Avacourt wood on the Verdun front in the course of severe fighting last night. The struggle west of Dead Man Hill was terrific. The war of fice statement of this afternoon says that the attacks of German infantry were repulsed. 60,000 Teutons Battle in Vain. Paris, May 22. The battle of Ver dun, the longest and most bitterly contested individual struggle of the war, enters on its fourth month tjday. The Germans with characteristic pa- Lience ana stuODornness are hammer ing at Dead Man Hill, where the most furious and bloody fighting of the three months' conflict has taken place. Clinging desperately to the trenches that thev have wrested from the French on the lower slopes of the iiiu me .teutons nave hurled 60,000 men, backed by sixty batteries of guns of all caliber forward along a seven mne iront rrom Avacourt wood to the Meuse in a desoerate effort to seize the coveted summit. Key of Verdun Front. As has been usual in this war when either side launched a well prepared and strongly delivered offensive the Germans have succeeded in gaining a footing in the French first line at a cost of severe losses. However, judg ing from the experience of the past it will not be a difficult task for the French to dislodge them before they are able to follow up their advantage. rsotn sides will tnen return to their former positions to await another offensive. That the Germans must continue their tremendous onslaught on Dead Man Hill or abandon tne idea of tak ing Verdun seems obvious. This blood soaked summit and its sister emi nence, Hill 304, form the key of the whole system of Verdun defenses. The fire from their batteries flanks the Douaumont plateau across the river. Without the undisputed possession of this plateau, military critics agree that no attack on Verdun has any chance of success. Austrians Desert Albania? Paris, May 22. A neutral diplomat who has just returned from Albania is quoted in a dispatch to the Matin from Athens as saying the Austrians have withdrawn 50.000 troops from Albania in the last three weeks. Ac cording to this diplomat the Austrians have left only small detachments to guard the towns they have occupied, leaving a garrison of 300 at Fiera and 600 at Berat. The remainder of the troops left in the country are concen trated at Durazzo. The abandonment of the Albanian front is said to be due to the impossi bility of bringing up supplies. The statement that the Austrians are withdrawing their main forces from Albania apparently conflicts with recent dispatches from Athens and Paris saying the Teutons were about to launch an attack in force against Avlona, the only town that remains in the possession of the Italians. On May 19 the Austrians were reported to have assembled a fleet of 150 trans ports at Fiaume to transport troops and supplies to Durazzo. The block houses in Avocourt wood were abandoned by the Germans. East of the Meuse, infantry fighting occur red at the Haudromont quarries cap tured yesterday by the French. The Germans, attacked these positions and the statement asserts, were repulsed with heavy loss. U. S. MENTO WAR American Legion, 9,000 Strong, to Join Canada Force. Will Fight Germans "Under Stars and Stripes." New York, May 22. Nine thousand men of the United States "will fight under the stars and stripes" when the American legion takes the field against the Germans in July. The battalions sail from Canada this week and in the bosom pocket of each soldier lies the American colors, to be hoisted on bayonet and over trenches in Belgium and France. Officers and men of the American legion, training in Toronto, are confi dent the great offensive of the allies will begin on July 15. No attempt is made to conceal this report. The anxiety of the large body from the United States to participate in the war is attested by Captain Edwin Bower Hesser, 212th battalion, a staff officer whose home is in New York city; and who was forced to give up his studio in Washington Square on an unexpected call to headquarters today. Called to Front. "We. from the United States now number more than 9,000," Captain Hesser said. "It waa reported that we were to sail on a specified day last week but that was not true. We sail the week of May 22. For many rea sons the date will not be announced." Captain Hesser is a newspaper man and artist, having drawn and painted most of the recruiting posters which enliven the streets of Canadian cities. "We feel we are but American's of fering to the Dominion in return for the 4 8,000 Canadians who fought in the Civil war," he said. "There is a lot of comment about our use of the American flag on our emblem,'' he went on. "The point is much misunderstood. It is not true that the United States coat of arms is combined with the British to make up the badge, but the stars and stripes are introduced. That is, the original coat of arms of George Washington's family, which was the basis for the American flag, is combined with the maple leaf." G.O. P. DELEGATE KILLED Alfred ST.

Kveryone knows how damp the Knglish climate is uud how dampness affects those suffering from catarrh. In KnIiiiul they treat ca tarrhal deafness and head noises as a con stitutional disease and use an internal remedy for it that is really very efficacious. Sufferers who could scarcely hear a watch tick fell Imw they had their hear ing restored by this Knjjllsh treatment to such an extent that the tick of a watch wan plainly audible seven and eight inches away from either ear.

Mortally injured when the automobile which he was driving overturned after toppling off a 12-foot embankment near Dover, N. J., Alfred N. Dalrymple, chairman of Essex county Republican commit tee, leader of ti New Jersey delega tion to the Republican national con vention and probably the best known political leader of the state, died today in the hospital at Dover. Mrs. Dal rymple, who was with him in the automobile, escaped almost uninjured as did Andrew C. Snyder of Newark and Mrs. Snyder. Mrs. Snyder was pinned under the automobile but escaped serious hurts.

PICKED UP LIVE WIRE Leland Turn bull Sues the Company for $1,000. Kdison Twenty-three hundred volts of elec tricity passed through the body of ten year-old Leland Turnbull, according to a petition filed by him in the district court, and because of the shock he asks for $1,000 from the Topeka Edi son company. The petition alleges that the boy picked .up a live wire while playing in his own back yard at 710 Hun toon street, in June of last year; that the wire was not insulated and that he suffered a shock from which he did not recover for several months. The action for damages is brought in the name of Nettie Turnbull as the boy's "next best friend." KANSAS RATE INVOLVED It took a woman to put economy in county offices over in Leavenworth county, where in past years extrava gance has been the keynote. For in stance, iu .he 1-st three years two county officers have voluntarily con fessed to misappropriation of funds and suits are pending against half a dozen former officers for fees alleged to belong in a place other than their pockets. But this is rapidly becoming a thing of the past and real economy, not good fellowship, is the quality de manded of candidates in Leavenworth county since Miss Grace Fisher was elected clerk of the- district court. Representative B. F. Endres of Leav enworth county is in Topeka today ar guing a habeas corpus case in the su preme court and at the National hotel this morning outlined the remarkable work done by Miss Fisher. Suffrage Would Carry. "Leavenworth county," said Mr. Endres, "did less for the suffrage cause in the way or votes than al most any county in Kansas. Since Miss Fisher was elected clerk of the district court two years ago, equal suffrage submitted to a Leavenworth county electorate would carry by big majority. It is probable there will be no real opposition to her re-elec- tino this fall. "Miss Fisher, for a number of years deputy clerk, was elected clerk of the district court, and aside from being the first woman elected to an office. she did something unusual over our way she kept a promise made to the voters. In short, she reduced the ex penses of running the office. All men candidates promised to do this, but Miss Fisher actually stuck to her promise. Cut Down Clerk Hire. "The first thing she did after en tering' office was to dispense with one of the court clerks, doing the work herself. She merely employed one assistant and instead of paying the assistant $125 a month as permitted by law, took only $75 a month from the treasury for the salary of an assistant. "The county treasurer came near having a stroke of apoplexy a few months after Miss Fisher enteTed of fice when she presented him with J 4 9. 'What is this for?' he asked. More Than Self Supporting. "It was explained that it waa in terest money under her control as clerk of the court and she felt the taxpayers were entitled to it. She has been turning in about $20 interest each month since, something no court clerk in Leavenworth county ever did in years past. "Miss Fisher charges up fees to all alike and when collected they are turned into the county treasury on the last day of the month. Since she be came clerk the office is not only self- sustaining but there is a surplus for the taxpayers f nearly a hundred dol lars a month." iEczema Is Conquered Greasy salves and ointments should not be applied if good clear skin is wanted.

Auditorium Questions The Facts About the New Auditorium The questions that have been asked concerning the New Auditorium are here answered for the benefit of the voters in order that they may know exactly why the New Auditorium and City Jail are needed, and exactly what they will cost. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Will the New Auditorium be the old one patched up? No. Will it be the old one remodeled? No. Is it to be an entirely new building? Entirely new, from roof to basement. But the old walls it is said they are to be used? They that is, the north, south and west walls are to be used merely to support the roof. Then what is to support the gallery and. balcony? Huge steel columns, imbedded in concrete the strongest supporting material known. These will rest upon the ground and extend to the top. They will support the floors, stairways and all the heavy weight. They will be placed inside the present walls around the entire building. And the east wall? It i.3 to be torn down and rebuilt 30 feet back to take in the additional ground purchased for the enlargement of the building. The east wall, of coarse, is to be entirely new. New Auditorium Absolutely Fire Proof Will the New Auditorium be fire-proof? Absolutely. The plans have been carefully examined by Fire Chief Han-k-p. and heartily approved by him. What are the main features that will make it fire-proof? The absence of inflammable material will make the New Auditorium fire-proof. The entire New Auditorium will be of brick, reinforced concrete, steel and iron. All three floors, stairways, basement and roof will be of concrete, steel and iron construction. What will be the seating capacity of the new building? Six thousand. Do we need a New Auditorium with such a capacity? Yes. i Why? Because the old one is badly out of repair and too small to meet present requirements. It will not seat our largest conventions and our largest local meetings. It was not large enough to accommodate the Santa Fe em ployees when they gathered there for a mass meeting. What the New Auditorium Will Cost 'What will the New Auditorium Cost? Just $77,500, of which $9,000 will be used to buy the 30-foot strip of additional land for the extention to the East. Then the building proper will cost but $68,500? That is correct. How are we to get the money? By issuing $100,000 worth of bonds due in thirty years, which means that future generations will help to pay for the building. What is to be done with the remaining $22,500 It will be used to build a modern new City Jail. Do we need it? t Everybody says so. The present jail is a disgrace. For what length of time will the bonds be issued Thirty years. At what rate of interest Four and a half per cent or less. A Tax of Ten Cents a Year It has been said that the tax will be so heavy that many people will lose their properties. Is that true? No. What will be the tax? The tax will be 10 cents a year on an assessed valuation of $1,000. What will I have to pay That depends on the assessed valuation of your property. My property is assessed at $1,000. What will I pay? On an assessed valuation of $1,000 you will pay 10 cents a year tax or a total of $3 in thirty years. What about higher valuations A property with an assessed valuation of $1,500 will pay 15 cents a year or a total of $4.50 in thirty years. A property with an assessed valuation of $2,000 will pay a tax of 20 cents a year or a total of $6 in thirty years. Is that all they will pay? Yes, absolutely. The law requires that a sinking fund be created and this tax will pay all of the interest charges and pay off the bonds in 30 years. Will Pay for Old Building Without Increase in Taxes Why haven't we paid for the old Auditorium? Because the bonds do not fall due until 1920 and cannot be paid off until then. Will they be paid off in 1920 Yes. How will this be done? The present tax levy is sufficient to create a sinking fund that will pay off the Old Auditorium bonds when they are due. Will taxes be increased to pay these old bonds? No. The present tax levy will retire the Old Auditorium bonds in 1920 without increasing taxes. How the New Auditorium Will Help Topeka How will the New Auditorium benefit Topeka? By providing an Auditorium that will be large enough to accommodate the largest conventions and gatherings. Are conventions a benefit to Topeka? Yes. Each convention that comes to Topeka brings in new money that no one in Topeka has helped to create. Every dollar spent here by visitors is a NEW DOLLAR and every person in Topeka is benefited. How does this benefit each citizen It benefits each citizen because it brings in new money that is paid to the stores, hotels, rooming houses, restaurants, and in fact every line of business. In turn this money is paid out in wages, and for supplies, and everyone is benefited. How can I, as a voter, help Topeka? By voting for the New Auditorium. By the Committee of Business Men: S. E.

The State Journal Is a member of the Associated Press and receives the full day telegraph report of that great news or gatilxatijn. for the exclusive afternoon publication in Topeka. The news is received In The State Jour nal building o-er wires for tbis sole pur pose. M EMBER: Associated Press. Audit Bureau of Circulations. American Newspaper Publishers' Association. Talk is being indulged in by the Authors League of America about the advisability of affiliating with the American Federation of Labor. And suppose it becomes a full-fledged la bor union. How will it en about it to arrange uniform wage scales for its members and what would be a basis for a strike on their part? As a mat ter of fact an author is a most helpless critter in the matter of demanding what he may deem to be his rights. Indeed, he doesn't appear to have any except those conferred upon him by the copyright law. He has to take what is given to him, and if he doesn't like it well, he can lump it. It costs ninety cents a minute to conduct the affairs cf the city of To peka, and thanks to the commission foim of government and the way it is being administered here, the taxpayers of Topeka are coming pretty close to getting a 90-cent return every time the minute hand on the Topeka clock makes its jump. This horse-race!es3 free fair for To peka that has been proposed doesn't seem to be very popular with the peo ple. Bui the suggestion is only a ten tative one with the free fair manage ment, and the probabilities are it will not be adopted. Nor should it be. A horse-raceless fair would be a trifle too unique. Italy will probably bank much hope on the fact that Crown Prince of Aus tria is in personal command of the big Austrian offensive that has suddenly developed along the Italian front. Everybody's doing it. Doing what? Adopting the additional hour of day light plan for the spring and summer season. Why not Topeka? As Lieutenant Governor Morgan suggests: Why not quit killing the Kansas wheat crop with the Hessian fly, and try some new stuff? Surely there can be no objections from any quarter to the suggestion that the Topeka fair grounds be used for the purposes of a city park, during the fifty-one, or fifty weeks of the year when they are not needed for the fair. So why not go through the necessary formalities and start the Free Fair Park on its way. Nothing much is heard these days about Lord Kitchener but he appar ently knew whereof he was speaking when, at the beginning of the war, he predicted that it would continue for not less than three years. The Entente Allies still have their great Spring drive to make in the western arena of the war and if they don't hurry, they'll have to postpone. Von Waldow, this man with the iron will, who has been appointed food minister in Germany, and whose busi ness it will be to preserve order while the German people face a food famine he'll probably see to It that he gets ail he needs to eat. More United States marines have been sent to assist their brethren on the job of putting -down the current revolutionary uprising in Santo Do mingo. But the policy of Watchful Waiting towards Mexico is continued with all its futile force. Austria finally having decided to move against the Italians, the latter, after being more than a year in the field, are getting a good taste for the first time of what it means to be engaged in a modern war. CARRANZA'S MISTAKE. When our Civil war was drawing to a close, and the definite triumph of the north was seen to be assured, a great thirst for vengeance fell upon the unthinking population, says The New Republic. At last Jeff Davis was to hang on a sour apple tree; at last the proscription of the rebel generals and haughty rebel civil officers was to begin. Other cares occupied the men who had fought and suffered in the war. What Grant and Sherman and their kind feared was that organized resistance might break up into guerilla warfare and this in turn into individ- ual crime, endemic in the whole vast area of the south. Not mere surren der of the southern armies, but recon ciliation, was what had to be achieved. If Carranza had attained a similar height of understanding, at the time when President Wilson strove to bring about a conference of all factions, a real peace might have been establish ed. But Carranza thought he had the situation Well in hand. Submission, not compromise, was his demand. In legalistic theory what room is there for compromise with" the sovereign will? In real life there is no abso lute sovereign will and all stable gov ernment rests on compromise. This Carranza did not see, and probably never will see. THE LOGICAL CANDIDATE. In its Comment on Politics depart ment in a recent issue, and under the caption "Roosevelt," Collier's present ed the following analysis of the situa tion surrounding the forthcoming Re publican presidential nomination: "If ever the phrase 'logical candi date' were justified it is applicable to Roosevelt. The issues in the coming campaign are going to be our intc na tional relations, including Mexico; preparedness; the economic questions arising out of the conclusion of the war. On these issues the one leader who has been outspoken is Roosevelt. He expressed disappointment with President Wilson's Mexican policy from the beginning. Since the first week of the European war Roosevelt has been whole-hearted and contin uous in opposition to the policy of the Democratic administration. In the beginning this opposition of Roose velt's was unpopular and the presi dent's course was popular. Such a sentiment for preparedness as we now have and such dissent from our for eign policy as we now have has been created almost wholly through Roose velt's leadership. The country has measurably come around to his point of view. For whatever portion of the electorate dislikes President Wilson's administration and wants to vote for it, Roosevelt is the logical candidate. "Whether Roosevelt will be nomi nated by the Republicans or not de pends upon whether the same leaders who defeated him in 1912 are willing to accept him now. The present feel ing of these leaders can probably be expressed with fair accuracy in the following sentences: They would like to nominate an old-fashioned stand patter, preferably Root, and they would nominate Root if they thought he could be elected. But they realize that no man can be elected unless he can carry, in addition to the regular Republican vote, the bulk of the Pro gressive party vote; and they know Root cannot do this. These national leaders know, of course, that Roose velt would surely carry the great bulk of the Progressive vote. Since they cannot have the man they would like, they will probably look upon the question quite cold-bloodedly and name, as between Roosevelt and Hughes, the man more likely to carry the masses." LIVING CHEAPLY AND WELL. Most Americans wonder how on earth people can live on the wages paid in some foreign countries; and when we see people coming over here in the steerage and raising large, healthy families on small wages, we wonder also how that can be done. If the truth were known, it is largely a matter of soup and porridge. What is more, the American pioneer had a few tricks of the same kind, now almost forgotten. In every country there is some national dish which is .cheap, nourishing and savory, and it is usually a soup or stew. The Ital ian has his minestrone, and his maca roni cooked with meat or vegetables or both. The French housewife has a hundred or so good soups, notably petite marmite, soup a la bonne femme, and pot-au-feu. The Scotch have their cockaleekie and barley broo. The Hungarian has his goulash. And so it goes. Old fashioned New England fanners cherished their "boiled dish" and hash, and let no scrap of pork or veal or beef to waste. On the South ern plantation, where food waa per haps more abundant than anywhere else In the early days of America, soups were made of a variety of ma terials, cooked long and slowly. The soup-kettle is the good fairy of any well managed household a brown and squat fairy, but that is no matter. PUTTING ON THE BRAKES. In these days of unusual demand and dislocation of normal conditions in many lines of industry, the nat ural position of the seller is to follow a line of progressive price advances, says the Iron Trade Review. These advances usually far exceed those war ranted by higher costs of production. Human nature dictates that when a market is completely in the hands of the seller, as it is in many raw or manufactured materials at the present time, the obvious course is the most advantageous one, namely, that the price should be all that the traffic can bear. Sound business policy frequent ly runs counter to natural impulses. Unrestrained price advances, no mat ter if the continuing demand appear to be so strong as to justify them, eventually reach the point where they shut off buying for the reason that the ultimate consumer cannot stand the cost. There is a maximum point be yond which to advance prices is to im pose an undte burden upon one party and to threaten the good of the whole trade, since, after all, the best inter ests of buyers and sellers are inter dependent. Large steelmakers are giving due recognition to this truth by throwing their influence against any further general advances in their lines of manufacture. The wisdom of hold ing prices in check when radical ad vances are possible admits of ready recognition. To reduce them under present conditions, however, repre sents a much more striking example of broad-gauged business manage- ment. This Is the policy which the Linde Air Products Co., leading manu facturer of oxygen, has had in effect since the beginning of the war. This company bases its action upon the be lief that, in the long run,' the good will and friendship that will accrue will more than offset any increased profits to be gained from higher prices in a temporary market. The practical results netted by such a policy, ap proaching as it does the altruistic in business, no doubt will be watched with keenest interest by the general manufacturing world.

Observations by Editor Henrie, in his Lansing News: Man is made of dust and is always out for more. It is easier for trouble to find your address than it is for good luck.

QUAKER MEDITATIONS. From the Philadelphia Record. Never hit a man when he has you down. One of the things we very seldom see is an optimist with a boil on his neck. Fate sometimes insists that even the self-made man has to do the job all over again. When a man of 80 marries a girl of 20, it proves that he is old enough to know better. You never can tell. Many a true word is spoken in jest, and many a lie in dead earnest. It only takes two to make a quar rel, but a thousand can't convince us the other fellow is right. When a candidate claims the nomi nation is forced upon him, it prob ably follows the line of least resis tance. "He who hesitates is lost," quoted the Wise Guy. "Yes, when he isn't found out," added the Simple Mug. The unfortunate part of it is that when our riches take unto them selves wings, they don't carry us with them. We all change with the seasons. The liquid glance of the summer girl may be the same old icy stare she gave us last winter. "I always take a day off when I have a birthday." said the youthful stenographer.

It's not so bad to aee. Five hundred ain't so fancy, Some folks would think it tame; But I would take one hundred And be glad just the same. And get right down to fifty. Some people call it small, But twenty-five is better Than having none at all. Ten dollars ain't so many. You say, but man alive, I'll give you my opinion. It's great to bave a five. Uncle Abner. Hank Tumms of our village is an expert on irrigation. There ain't a man in this town who kin put him under the table. Now that they have found mi crobes on the one-cent pieces, the common people are in danger. The physiology says that every seven years the entire body is made over, but Hank Tumms says it is a lie, for he has the same wart on his nose that he had forty years ago, and it is a durn shame to put such stuff into school books. When you see a feller lookin" at himself in a plate glass winder it is only another proof that nature makes a mistake once in a while. Socrates was a wise old owl, but its dollars to doughnuts he could never have kept a coke furnace fire going all night. What has become of the old plush photograph album with nickel-plated corners that used to stand on the center table? Hi Higgins is so stingy that he stole a ham so that he could be sent to the county jail and get a hair cut for nothing. A feller that is very madly in love never wears a celluloid collar or eats onions. So long- as every fellow thinks his religion is the best, what's the use of startin' anything in the way of argument? Who ever heard of a bride that wasn't "beautiful and accomplished?"

Evening Chat BY ROTH CAMERON. Everybody's Troubles "I suppose everybody has their trou bles," a neighbor of mine said to me the other day, with a sigh of pious self-pity. Her trouble is that her son is going to marry and go away to live in a city a few hundred miles away. He is go ing to have a fine position in that city and he is marrying a splendid girl and the mother has two other children and means enough to visit him occasionally, but she is one of those women who do not like to see their children marry, and she regards it as an added injury that he should be going so far away. She is right. Everybody has their troubles. On the seat behind me in the trolley the other day two girls were talking about a third. "Yes,' isn't she the cheerfullest thing?" one of them said. "I never saw her down in the mouth. Even when that little sister that she was so crazy about died, she kept on smiling. And what do you know? her mother has just been dreadfully sick with erysipelas and she's been sitting up nights taking care of her, coming to work days and never let ting on, and laughing and acting Just as natural. We never'd have known it. but the girl next door came in to sub and asked her how her mother was, and then she had to tell us." All Her Savings Are Gone Again, a friend of mine who, with her husband, had worked hard all her life to accumulate a few savings has just passed through this experience: Her husband was brought into court on a charge made by a neighbor's child. When the case came before the Grand Jury it was thrown out, be cause the evidence showed so plain ly that the charge was entirely un founded. But to hire lawyers and collect the evidence took away all Mrs. H 's savings. Moreover, everyone who heard about the accusation did not hear about his exoneration by the Grand Jury. When I called one woman's atten tion to the fact, she said. "I suppose his wife told you that. You must re member that's only one side of the case." In other words, with the de sire to believe evil, which is one of humanity's ugliest traits, this woman still suspects him. And she, I sup pose, is typical ot many. The wife was almost broken down with worry and heartache over the whole affair. In fact, she would have entirely broken down if she had had time. But she didn't. She had to go on working and. to make relaxing still more impossible, her mother was taken ill with a chronic illness and she must nurse her. I never heard this woman complain. On the contrary. "Everything in life teaches us something," she said to me yesterday,' with a sweet smile on her pale face. Yes, everybody has troubles, and the worse they are, I sometimes think, the better they bear them. WIUi My Letter Friends A very sad thing has happened. The address of the kind lady who sent me the book on smiles has been mis laid and I want to thank her and can't. If she will write to me again. I shall be even more grateful than I already am.

(By Louise Oliver.) Mrs. Baldridge looked up from her letter as her brother came in. "Phil lip, here is a letter from Tom at last. I had begun to hope that his silence was portentous of something that he had been busy with other things. But if so he doesn't give an intimation of it here. Read it for yourself." Philip Mercer lighted a cigarette and held out his hand. "Golf, boating and so on, eh? Anything but a girl! Is that the trouble, sis? I can't see why you're so blamed anxious to have him married." "You are a living example of what I don't want him to be, Philip!" "What! A happy care-free bachelor of forty-odd! No bad habits, as habits go, a perfectly good cotillion leader, never out of sorts, ready to work overtime as a filler at all my married friends' dinner parties, passably good looking Mrs. Baldridge paid no attention. "You know you need an anchor, Phil ip. You are merely a nonentity float ing around this way and never getting; anywhere. When you are as old as I am you'll wish you had put in to some good port and settled down for life. Frankly, I don't want Tom to be like you. I want him to fall in love with some sweet girl and settle down. The earlier the better! What greater am bition can a man have than to devote his time to making some good woman happy? "Oh! Forgive me, Phil! I'm so sorry! I thought you see I didn't know. It was all so long ago I thought it was over." She laid her hand contritely on his arm. The shadow passed from his face and he patted her hand affectionately. "It's all right, sis. I think myself it's all over then something happens to bring it back. There! I'll love Pauline till my dying day. I can't help it. Maybe she's dead! I don't know. Nine teen years is a long time and navy of ficers move around so. But she's the only person I ever cared about and I'll never marry any one now." "Cheer up, Philip! I'll ring for tea you need reinforcing. My motto: When a man gets melancholy feed him. Don't doctor his liver just fill up his stomach. Here we are with some of Milly's raisin rolls too. Isn't that sun shine enough to make the angels sing! What a changeable day! It's like our lives! Highlights and shad ows! We need thje shadows to appre ciate the sun. I don't believe I'd like Summer Beach where Tom is!" Philip took a roll. "Don't you? I've about decided to go there myself and I was going to suggest that you go along!" "How impulsive you are, Phil! I don't believe you ever thought of such a thing until this minute. Of course I can't go, thank you!" "If you like, I'll undertake to be a matrimonial guide for your son. You see, I take like hot cakes wherever I go all the mamas will introduce me to their daughters and, in turn, I can introduce them to "Hush! You conceited goose! But run along if you really want to go. When I think of it I believe it will be good for Tom to have you there. And I think you need a change. Phil, dear suddenly leaning forward with eyes full of sympathy "I'm sorry, so sorry I spoke the way I did! Now good-by. I've an errand to do before dinner. It was late in the season for Sum mer Beach. Many of the winter so journers had gone north to replenish wardrobes for the summer campaign and arrange for the opening of sum mer homes on mountain and lake. But enough of gayety remained at the hotel to fill the quiet moonlit night witn sounds of laughter and music. Two men, Philip Mercer, and his nephew, Tom Baldridge, had dinner on the terrace, where a cool, soft breeze blew from the sea. The smoke from their cigars was wafted across the terrace to another table, at which a girl and an older man were finishing tneir dessert. The girl turned and Philip Mercer caught her glance. A startled glance it was, for he was on nis reet in an instant staring as though he had seen a ghost. Then seeing her amazement, he sank back to his chair. He flung his cigar over tne ran and mopped his forehead. "That girl, Tom who is she?" "Patricia Talbot." "And who is the man?" "I don't know it's the first time I've seen him. I don't know her very well. Just met her yesterday. Her daddy, maybe! What's the matter. Philip?" "Is her mother here?" "I don't know anything about them. I met her on the beach and only talk ed witn her for a little while." Something in Tom's tone caught the older man, something that conveyed to him that the few minutes had been very precious and a hope that chance might offer more opportunities. "She is beautiful! And she is the image of some one I used to know. I don't know the name of the man she married. The family took her to Ja pan where she met an American- lieutenant in the navy and married him. I never knew his name. It may nave been Talbot." Philip's face had gone gray. He got up "I think I'll walk on the beach alone. Tom. I've a headache and don t feel like talking." "I believe I'll do the boy more good by keeping away from him, he thought, as he walked down the palm covered path to the beach. "Patricia Patricia Talbot! The beach, hard as a stone, where the tide had receded, showed white and glistening in the moonlight. Philip strode along the edge of the water, not neanng the soft lap, re gardless of time and distance. Thoughts and feelings he had thought dead twenty years were tormenting mm just because he had seen face that reminded him of his old sweetheart. He despised himself now for a fool! Why, instead of running off, hadn't he waited to meet Tom's friends? That would have ended the misery. What was he afraid of? Afraid to find out that the girl he had loved was after all but a mem ory? Afraid the man at the other table was her husband? He came to the delta, of a small river. There was no bridge across so he turned up the nearest bank, where a sandy path showed white beneath the trees. He followed the stream through the palm grove, the wonder ful beauty of the night bewitching him. He kept on until the stream di vided and in the embrace of the two arms was a small green island and on the island a house. Moreover, across the water to his side of the lit tle river extended an arched bridge, Japanese in style, and, coming nearer, he saw that the house was a Japanese pagoda, and the miniature bushes in the moonlight and the paths and tiny pools made a wonderful garden Then he heard the pumping of a motor in the distance from the di rection he had come a boat coming up stream from the sea. The sound grew louder, and soon through the trees Philip saw a tiny launch hung with lanterns. Two peo ple were in it, a man and a girl, Tom and Patricia! But btfore he had quite recovered from his surprise something hanoened the unexpected, of course. A crash like a hundred guns tore the quiet night and there was a flash of flame. When Philip looked again the boat had disappeared and there was no sign of its occupants. It took only an instant for him to kick off his while shoes and dive into the water. He found Tom first per fectly whole so far cs Tie could tell but unconscious and got him to shore. He dived twice for Patricia before he found her caught in the wreckage at the bottom. The noise had brought two ser vants running from the house and a woman in white followed swiftly. "Patricia! Patricia, dear, where are you? Oh, what has happened? Pa tricia!" Philip's heart, hammering from his exertions, almost stopped beating. He knew that voice. He went over to her and took her hand in his wet one. There has been an accident," he said simply, "but I think "your daughter and her escort will soon be all right. The tank blew up, but it must have been almost empty or or he stopped. The woman's eyes grew wide. "Philip!" she cried, "Philip Mercer! To have you here now to save Pa tricia's life! I can't believe it." She caught his hand in both hers for an instant, then flew to the girl on the ground. "Mother!" murmured Patricia sleep ily. And just then Tom sat up. "We'll get them to the house and to bed, Philip! Thank God you were near!" "Amen!" agreed Philip. "It's odd how things happen." said Pauline later, In the garden. "I had just finished writing to you when the explosion occurred. Admiral Talbot has been dead a year, and I wanted you to know." "Then the man at the hotel wasn't Patricia's father?" "No, her uncle." A week later Mrs. Balridge received two letters which afforded her infinite satisfaction. One was from her son announcing his engagement to Pa tricia, In the other, her brother told of his discovery of the long-lost Pauline. (Copyright. 1916, by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) POINTED PARAGRAPHS. From the Chicago News- The chronic kicker is always on the job. It takes an artistic bore to be almost entertaining. Courtship after marriage is more important than it was before. The spinster always says it is a mistake to marry too young. A man may be lucky because he is married or because he isn't. There is danger that a little learn ing will result in a swelled head. There would be a lot more men in jail if they got what they deserve- Doing as one pleases soon ceases to be fascinating if no one objects.

To clean white and all light colored plumes, first immerse in gasoline until thoroughly wet and cleaned, then shake out and roll over and over in flv-ur. After the flour bath use corn starch, and your plumes will come out perfectly clean. This method has been used several times with excellent re sults. To dry-clean white window shades and panama hats, place article on table colored side of shade down and scrub with small stiff brush and dry powdered "pumice stone until all traces of dirt have disappeared, then brush off remaining pumice.

Mix farina with egg yolk; whip the whites stiff, fold into batter, put in buttered shallow baking dish and bake fifteen minutes in moderate oven. Then put one quart of rich milk on to boil. Take cake out of pan and cut in squares, then put in the boiling milk; let boil five minutes. Serve hot. Or, if wished as a dessert, serve with cream (cold).

Gater lived and spent his days, and plainly to be seen from the tree where Miss Chameleon lived, was an other pile that looked for all the world like a pile of rubbish. Neat and round it was, though perhaps too tidy appearing for a rubbish pile! But it wasn't a rubbish pile dear me. no! It was the home of Willy Wood-rat. You don't know Willy Wood-rat? Then listen, and I'll introduce you to him. Willy Wood-rat is the most beauti ful and stylish member of the rat family, and a very pleasant creature to know. He wears a soft, silky brownish gray coat and a vest of pure white. He has dainty white mittens made of soft fur that he pulis over his four little feet do you wonder that he has the reputation of being the dandy of the rat family? You will be glad to know that Willy, with all his fine clothes, is also good and kind. Finery does not tarn his head not one bit! He is quite the kindest and gentlest of all the rat family, and that's more important than being well dressed, isn't it? They say that kindness makes one better looking, and surely they must be right. For Willy Wood -rat has none of that sly, mean look in his face that makes us so afraid of most mem bers of the rat family. He has a nice, good, kind look that just fits with his manners and his pretty clothes. But what has this nice Willy Wood-rat .to" do with a rubbish pile, you ask He lives in it. But he wouldn't call it a rubbish pile, for it is his nest, and he and Mrs. Wood-rat work very hard to make it just as fine as ever a nest can be. It takes nights and nights of hard work to make that pile. Do you wonder they are proud of it when it is finished? heavy weight. Keep in cool place un til ready to serve.

Things Worth Knowing. When making fancy or dust caps rick-rack can be used to good ad vantage as an under facing for drawing the rubber elastic through.

Before hemming table linen, if soap is rubbed on the edges the hem ming will be done much easier and more rapidly. As no woman likes to put her hand in grease to grease the bake pan, here is the one thing that will do away with that annoyance: Cut a small hole in the can lid at the side, or cut and bend back the lid just the size of the small round-handled brushes you get at the 5 and 10 -cent store. Put the brush in the can and it Is always ready. The brushes used do not need to be washed out till can is empty, as there is nothing about small round brush to get rancid.

PLEDGES HAVE BEEN RECEIVED From Many Delegates to the Republican Convention. Will Be at Chicago to Help Make Nomination. Xew York, May 2 2. A Republican national committee comprising 200 former supporters of President Taft formally notified Colonel Roosevelt to day that they favor his nomination for the presidency at Chicago. The spokesman for the delegation was George Von L. Meyer, former member of the Taft and Roo.evelt cabinet?. He was accompanied by Robert C. Morris, chairman of the New York Republican county committee, during the Piatt regime and vice presi dent of the Union League club. Other members of the committee represent thirty states. Headquarters for the "Roosevelt committee," the official name of the delegation, were opened at the Hotel Biltmore today. In the absence of Mr. Meyer, Robert C. Morris discussed the plans of the organization. "We have received pledges of sup port from many delgates to the Re publican national convention for Mr. Roosevelt," said Mr. Morris. "Head quarters will be established at Chicago and we shall do our utmost to secure Roosevelt's nomination. I do not see how any combination or any candi date can beat him. 'Sentiment for Colonel Roosevelt is widespread in every state in the Union. This committee will organize such sentiment and aid the Republi can convention to make its choice of a candidate." Executive members of the Roosevelt committee are George von L. Meyer, chairman; John H. Iselin, treasurer, and Capt. Arthur F. Crosby, former rough rider, secretary. Invasion Begins Tills Week.

WHY OF THE BONDS Some Heayy Taxpayers Set Forth Important Seasons For Supporting Auditorium Proposition at the Polls. C. B. Merriam was one of the com mittee of citizens who took hold of the Auditorium proposition and worked out the present plan of re modeling and the construction of the new city jail. Discussing the $100,000 bond issue, upon which the people are to vote May 31 to put this plan into effect, he said: "My theory is that Topeka is pri marily a convention city, it is the state capital, has good railroad facilities, ample accommodations for visitors and is logically the place for the peo ple of Kansas to come together. To peka has no considerable manufac turing interests and conditions are un favorable that these will ever materi ally increase. We are too close to Kansas City to become a great whole sale1 and distributing center. There fore, we should do what we can do and not undertake things that are im practicable. Must Get Conventions. "'We can get conventions if we will provide suitable buildings and accommodations. Our committee went over the Auditorium a number of times and had a half dozen or more meetings with Mr. Holland, the archi tect, and the plan proposed was the rgsult of our combined labors and judgment. We think it is the very best solution of our difficulties that can be made economically. When the new Auditorium is built it will meet Topeka's needs. People who are opposing the bonds because they say they want a $200,000 new building simply do not understand the plans we agreed upon. If they would fa miliarize themselves with it I think they would conclude that we did the best thing." Should Have Safe Place. Robert Stone, attorney, said: "I fa vor bonds for both propositions be cause Topeka should have a safe place for great public meetings, conven tions and entertainments and one that is large enough to accommodate all needs. And it should be safe for every person able to get into the build ing. While it is true that the most direct benefit from conventions comes to our merchants, hotels, res taurants and railroads, we all derive benefit indirectly. Furthermore, con ventions add their part in making Xo- Iiexa a aesiraDle city in which to live. Every one should feel a personal in terest in making the Auditorium as capacious and safe as possible. J. W. Thurston, president Farmers Bank: "I am not familiar with the plans made by the committee and the architects, but I am willing to take their judgment. So I shall support the present proposition." mayTete at h. p. scho Will Clone With Basket Supper In the Auditorium.

ANXIOUS FOR UNGHORNE May Send Reinforcements Detachment's Aid. to Peons Believe "Retreat" Dne to Fear of Villa. Columbus, N. M., May 22. Four bands of Mexicans are moving north ward in the wake of the withdrawing American troops, committing depreda tions and speading terror in the vil lages. This- report was brought to the Columbus base today. It is believed here that the Mexicans who fired on thirteen troopers' of the Seventh in fantry, wounding one. were members of one of these bands. Keep Safe Distance. These bandits are moving in bands of from 50 to 70 and have kept far enough behind the retiring Americans to avoid a clash. Many inhabitants of the region around San Antonio, Mexico, are fleeing northward in the wake of the American troops. General Pershing has sent back cavalry de tachments to attack and disperse these bandits. Stories that the American troops are withdrawing because Villa had recovered and was gathering an army to fight the American troops have been circulated among the Mexican peons and are believed responsible for the new outbreak of banditry. Two Troops In Danger? San Antonio, May 22. Some anxiety as to the situation in which the Ameri can troops south of BoquiHas were re ported was displayed ac General Fun ston's headquarters early today. No official reports indicating hostile movements of any band near Colonel Sibley's two troops of the Fourteenth cavalry had been received and when last accounted for Major Langhorne and his two troops of the Eighth cav alry were moving northward to join Colonel Sibley.

REMOVE A MINISTER Adjutant to Morocco Will Get Place in Roumania. Paris, May 22. M. Blondell, French minister to Rou mania, will be succeed ed by Col. De Saint Aulaire, now ad jutant to the resident general of Morocco, the ministry of foreign af fairs announced today. Rumors were in circulation in "Washington Saturday that the French minister to Roumania had been re called and that the allies were dis trustful of Roumania because of her newly negotiated commercial treaties with Austria and Germany. It was suggested, too. that the French min ister might have been recalled by his government as a token of dis pleasure over his failure to prevent the signing of these treaties. AT THE THEATERS At the Orplieum. The Orpheum management has ar ranged a special feature production to be shown beginning today and for the first half of the week in "Silas Mar ner," the film version of Eliot's well known story. Frederick Warde plays the part of Marner. The best recommendation that can be given this drama is that for two solid weeks the remarkable play filled the .Willis Wood theater in Kansas City to capacity. The play, the author, the actor needs no introduction to those who follow the works of the dramatist and the writer of classic literature. Especially suitable is the play for the week graduation when the stu dents and parents are deeply interest ed in the completion of the school year and the attendant exercises. The musical contest given Dy tne members of the high school as a fea ture of the special program will begin tonight and will be finally decided Wednesday evening. Those entering the contest are Dean Van Ness, Henrietta Price, Margaret Rust and Alvin Battey in voice. Juliet Hughes, violin, and Inez Horner, piano. The committee has been selected to award prizes offered by the Warren M. Crosby company. Palace Clothing company, Topeka Edison company, Santa Fe Watch company and the To peka State Journal. This committee will be composed of Dean and Mrs. Horace Whitehouse, Miss Hazelrlgg, Mrs. C. D. Clithero, Miss Whittlesey and Miss Jennie Blinn. At the Iris. The noted Jap actor.

Xo Reference to Blockade the Communication. in U. S. COMMERCE THREATENED Continued Interference a Big Handicap to Trade. Breaking Seals Termed Fla grant Abuse of Power. Washington, May 22. The note of protest against interference by the al- les with United States mails will be forwarded to Ambassador Page Tues day or Wednesday. It will be held for cabinet consideration before it is cabled to London. It was learned today that the pro test which was prepared last week and was ready to go Tuesday has been ma terially revised. The original inten tion was to make the protest a vehicle of attack against interference with the mails as well as against the blockade. The blockade feature is dropped in the new note. In explanation of this, it was pointed out in official circles today that the argument would lose force If it were not confined to a question to which there could practically be no answer but a surrender. To Make Issue Clear. It was explained that if interference with the mails should be considered in relation to the blockade, the British an swer would lay stress on the blockade and put the interference with mails in a secondary place. Great Britain's justification of this would be that be cause mail packages have been sent Into prize court, the subject of the mails therefore is linked with the rules and regulations under the orders in council establishing the blockade. To avoid giving Great Britain op portunity for thus confusing the issues the while tenor of. the forthcoming note will be that the mail violation complained of goes to the root of in ternational law and that its obligations cannot be changed at will either by Great Britain acting alone or with a group of nations. A high official discussing the mail abuses, and outlining the administra tion s protest, Baid: The main and flagrant abuse of the law of nations is the act of break ing seals. If that Is allowed to con tinue there will be an end to seaborne commerce. Commerce at Stake. We propose to show that the sane tlty of the mails is more important as a first consideration than com merce itself, for the obvious reason that commerce can be carried on. this case with the allies, only with their consent. The fact that they can open sealed packages and first class mails generally, is only another way of saying that 'you cannot deal with neutrals or our enemies unless we read your letters. "There is no blinding the fact that the practice of interfering with first class mails and breaking the seals in discriminately on mails to and from ports controlled by the allies means that the United States might as well suspend commerce with the Eastern hemisphere. "The position of the United States is that breaking seals on mail in ves sels which touch at English ports, or wnicn are taKen into port from the high seas to search for contraband ana tne exercise or inquisition over mails carried by these vessels has no warrant of any kind of international law. It is especially obnoxious to and contradictory of the one thing which all nations agreed at The Hague that the mails are inviolable." The strength of the new American note, it is said, is due largely to in numerable complaints from commer cial interests both at home and abroad against the practice of making private ana iirst class mall subject to the municipal laws of any country.

NO MERJJYSHOWN Turks Drove Out Armenians, Then Massacred Them. Russians Bring to Light Atroc ities in Trebizond. Bucharest, May 22. Since the en try of the Russans into Trebizond, it is possible to lift the veil which hitherto has shrouded the fate of the Armenian population of that city. The Russian troops found all the Armenian houses plundered and most ly in ruins. They had been pillaged by the Turks, the authorities inter posing no opposition. The deportation of Armenians was carried out in accordance with instruc tions from Constantinople. Some 300 f of the leading families received the order to prepare for emigration and purchased wagons to transport their nrnnprtv hut four riava after their rie- I parture all the wagons were brought back to the town. The emigrants had been massacred and their property plundered. Driven From Houses. Other groups, each of several hun dred families, followed. This process was continued for some time. Event ually, however, new methods were adopted. The police entered the houses of the remaining Armenians and forci bly expelled them. They were driven through the streets and the houses were locked up. The whole Armenian population of Trebizond, numbering 10,000, was thus exterminated. It is hoped, however, that some hundreds may yet be found in villages in the neighborhood. At Erzerum, where the Armenian population is estimated to have been 25,000, practically the same program was carried out. EVERY 8MINUTES Salvation Army Gathers Fig ures on Girls' Disgrace. Officer Will Speak to Topeka Audience Wednesday. A virtuous girl starts on the road to a life of shame every 8 minutes Is one of the startling facts revealed by the statistics gathered by the Salva tion Army in its rescue operations. It is estimated that there are 375, 000 known fallen women in our coun try. And it can scarcely be said that these figures are on the decrease. Hor rible as it is, truth makes it necessary to say that the opposite is more likely the true situation. Mrs. Thomas Estill, wife of Com missioner Thomas Estill, in command of all the Salvation Army operations in the western states, an interna tional lecturer of prominence, is per haps one of the best informed speak ers on this subject on the public plat form today. She will speak at Topeka and two other points in Kansas. Mrs. Estill will have an authori tative message, born of long years of experience in the work, when she speaks on the subject of "Broken Womanhood" at the high school auditorium. Wednesday eve ning. She is a lady of refinement, charming in personality, and a gifted speaker. As a lecturer she has re ceived a hearing in Africa, Australia, New Zealand, Holland and Japan. Her subject on this occasion Is espe cially interesting to all those who sympathize with the helpless in their struggle for a better life. Governor Capper will preside at the meeting. The twenty-eight rescue and ma ternity homes which the Salvation army have established in the United States, thirteen of this number in the western states, receive more than 3.000 girls annually. Eighty-one per cent of these girls are permanently re stored to a life of virtue and purity. Those who receive no aid in turning to a better life are ground out by the traffic mill in a few years. It is esti mated that 50,000 die every year. To make up this depletion In the ranks of shame, 50,000 pure women must be i sacrificed every year. j MAY BE NAVAL BATTLE Cannonading in Baltic Starts Rumor of German-Ross Clash. London, May 22.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL MONDAY EVENING, MAY ffi. 1916 FOR G00D0F HOME High School Will Adopt Real Domestic Course. To Make Good Housekeepers Out of Topeka's Girls. NEW STUDIES FOR NEXT YEAR Principal Stout Announces Work for Students. Complete Arts and Three Indus trial Courses, 1916-7. Home-making is to be recognized next year in the hish school as an, important piofession and a definite course will be established for it. As much e re is to be expended to turn the high school fiirls into pood house keepers and cooks as heretofore has been used to prepare them for college or school teaching. 'Nearly ten per cent of our girls get married shortly after high school graduation," A. J. Stout, principal of the high school, said today. Only half of them ever enter college. And we are going to have one of our strong- est courses directed to the needs of that largo per cent. Furthermore, the home-making course need not in terfere with those deslrinsr to enter college. By taking a little more mathematics and languages than are included in the course they can meet the college entrance retirements." Following are the studies which the prospectn e "lady-of-the-house" will be required to take: Business Eng lish, spelling, arithmetic, elementary bookkeeping, history, chemistry, sew ing, art and decoration, domestic science Several w Similes. The high school curriculum Is to have several other new study courses next year. For the girls there is to be added an arts course in sewing and millinery. The high school faculty will be provided with expert instruc tors in that line and tVe Topeka high school graduate of this course will be able to enter the most exclusive mil linery and dressmaking establish ments. Three industrial courses are to be added for the benefit of the boys. There will be a four years course in mechanical drafting. There will be a strong course in architectural drawing and a four years' course in drawing and general shop work. A complete arts course is also to be established. "Although these courses definitely prepare for the different professions, with but slight additii vs they fulfill the requirements for college entrance," Mr. Stout said. R. I.

New complications were added to the Knights and Ladies of Security troubles todav when Hugh P. Farrelly of Clianute filed an intervening peti tion in the mandamus suit and quo warranto proceedings were filed in the supreme court to oust Farrelly from his job. Both petitions were filed today in the supreme court and will be heard June 5. In his intervening petition today Farrelly asks the court to dismiss the original petition by W. B. Kirkpatrick. president, in which he seeks a writ of mandamus against the 'insurgent" of ficers in an effort to compel accept ance of his committee appointments. The court consented to the Farrelly intervention with privilege of future objections by opposing counsel. The Farrelly petition would stop further litigation concerning the man damus writ. On the other hand, it would Kive judicial 'ecognition of the appointments by the president of the lodge and would accomplish all that the original petition seeks. In view of this move, it is probable that the plaintiff will have as much trouble in withdrawing the suit as in pleading for a writ.

Almost immediately following the intervening petition, quo warranto proceedings were filed on behalf of the national council in an effort to oust Farrelly from his office as a member of the law committee.

"Taite this part here where they re fer to depreciation. The law says they must make us a report twice a year. The per cent they must pay, depends entirely on the condition oi tneir ai fairs at the end of each six months. Here they charge depreciation for the entire year and this makes them charge the city six months deprecia tion, by their own statement, which is wrong, according to the law." Attorneys and expert accountants were at the city hall late Saturday afternoon examining the report which the Edison company had submitted and when Frank G. Drenning, who has fought several claims of the city through the local courts, was asked regarding the statement he said: "Wasson's position, according to law, is entirely correct for the Edison company has charged the city more depreciation than they are entitled to at the time the report should have been made and according to their own figures they now owe the city over $3,500 which they should be made to pay."

ANTHONYJS HERE First District Congressman Dis cusses Tew Army Bill. Kansas BeprcsentatiTC Pleased With Wort of Congress. FOLLOWED HiS ARMY PLAN Was Republican Member of House Military Committee. One of Principal Speakers at Press Club Dinner Tonight. That the army increase bill enacted In law by the house of representatives represents a sane, practical solution of the preparedness problem in the minds of those best informed, was a state ment made this aftrnoon at the Na tional hotel by Congressman D. H. Anthony, jr.. of Leavenworth. Mr. Anthony left Washington Saturday after the bill had bren passed and came direct to Topeka to attend the Topeka Press club dinner tonight, where he will be one of the principal speakers. A large measure of the responsibil ity, in the preparation of this legisla tion, rested on the house committee on military affairs of which the Leaven worth congressman and newspaper man is a member. The Kansas repre sentative took an active part in help ing frame and place this measure on the statute books and has received much commendation from the Kansas press on the successful results of his labors. His Ideas Carried Out. "It has been a great satisfaction to me to know that my views as to the size of the regular army and federal ization of the national guard, a proper enlargement of the training camp Idea, a proper equalization of promo tions and other details of the bill which I advocated in the committee from the start were in a large degree finally adopted," said Mr. Anthony. "In my opinion the bill is the best that is possible to have been secured from congress at this time and after all its provisions have been carried out will be found adequate to the needs of the country. A great many people completely lost their heads on the question of preparedness, from those who frantically demanded the Immediate organization of a regular army of a million men down to the theorists and pacifists who believed tat the millennium had arrived on earth and no armed force at all was necessary. Army of 200.000. "A larger standing army than that ??Wuthorized' a "Siting force uf 206 000 in time of peace, is impossible without either compulsory military service or at an increased cost so great as to be out of the question. "Should war confront the country there will be no difficulty, in my judg ment, in building up an adequate force for defense under the provisions of the bill. When fully understood it will be found that congress has been ei tremely liberal in the military in creases it has made and the guns and munitions provided for, and the coun try will have reason to thank those who have been guided in the framing of this legislation by sane, conserva tive thought and have not allowed themselves to be carried off their feet by the clamor of people, press and pol iticians who would have the country go either too far or not far enough along the lines of proper military pre paredness."

BAD FOR BASEBALL Fans and Savages Cheated by Calling Sunday Game. Abbreviated Contest Put Boost ers in Third Place. Attendance at Western league games in Des Moines has not been up Jo standard since the opening of the season, and a few more stunts like the one pulled Sunday afternoon when the funs were robbed of a chance to see a full game is very poor tonic for turnstiles. The game, which had been begun in the rain, was called in the fifth inning when the score stood 2 to 0 in favor of Des Moines. It was called despite the fact that playing conditions were no worse than they were when the game began and over the protest of Manager Lattimore and his players who were anxious to give the spectators their money's worth. It is presumed that the Des Moines fans what there are left are just as nnxiouH to see their team win as the fans' of any other city in the league. Hut in no place not even in Wich ita do the lovers of clean sport like 'l'n be buncoed. Neither do they like to see unfair means adopted in an ef fort to win. Started In Rain. The fact that it was raining when -the Des Moines game started indicated that those who were present held their baseball enthusiasm to be water proof. Had they not, they would not have been at the park at all. And that they remained after the tempor ary suspension, showed they did not care about the weather so long as they had an opportunity to watcti tne two teams battle for third place in the league standing. But the desire of the fans and the assertion of the Topeka players that it was not raining any harder in the fifth inning than it was at the start had no effect upon the situation and .when the last Savage was out in the fifth. Umpire Kane called the game and he and the Des Moines players dug for shelter. The Savages went to their regular positions in the field, but Kane's decision evidently pleased the Des Moines officials as they made no kick. Dashner Ineffective. The two run lead the Boosters quit with was. the result of ineffective pitching by Da?hner it must have been as there were no errors made behind him. One of the runs was tcored in the second inning when Me loan, hit by a pitched ball, was sacri ficed to second and counted on Ewoldt's double. The second run came in the third when Baker got on with a single and scored on Hunter's two "bagger. During the five innings the battle "lasted only two Savages were able to .connect with the offerings of Baker. Cochran and Tydeman were the men who did the connecting, but they were not fortunate enough to join them together for a counter. Reports- from Des Moines stated that Manager Lattimore filed a pro test on the calling of the game, giving as his grounds the fact that playing conditions were no worse in the fifth inning than they were at the start. The protest will be acted upon by President Zehrung, and if he upholds it the game will be thrown out and played over. DES MOINES SCORE (Called In fifth; rain.) TOPKKA.

He finds very little difficulty in manipulating his car. Sport Wheezes -BY CLTJG College baseball will soon be out of season, but auto racing is ripening fast. And auto racing promises to be come more popular than ever this sum mer. A number of big fairs are play ing up their gasoline contests bigger than their horse racing events. The Savages open a four day stand at Sioux City today. From Sioux City they will go to Omaha, then to St. Joe and they will be back here Friday week. It is reported that Kessler, the Washburn backfield man grabbed by Bill Hargiss for his Emporia Normal eleven, may return to Washburn next fall. Kessler was one of the most promising men on the Ichabod squad. University of Michigan coaches blame the dance. craze for lack of in terest in spring football practice. Why not blame the war? There never was and probably never will be very much interest in football in the springtime. It is reported that since Jim Thorpe joined the Brewers he has learned to hit a curve ball at last. Inability to hit this brand of delivery is said to have driven Thorpe from the big leagues, as it has thousands of others. Chicago plans to have a soccer ex hibition in July. Probably the Windy City will also crown a May queen next Thanksgiving day. The announcement from Des Moines to the effect that a new out fielder is being sought by the Sav ages is a little mystifying. Schweitzer, Tydeman and Kruger are all going good and to replace any of them with better men will be a hard task. Both Tydeman and Schweitzer are hitting more; than .300 and Kruger Is rot far below this mark. of the three. Kruger Is probably the most fci-tszin fielder and it is conceded that is as good a fielder as there is in the league. Tydeman is not as de peiidable in the field as he might be, but he is undoubtedly the most con sistent batter on the team. The threatened shakeup in the pitching staff is very likely to affect Bert Larson first, if it materializes, I e.rson was held in high esteem by both Savage and Lattimore at the be- finning of the season, but the results shuw that he has not been as etttctivt: as a pitcher should be. The Kansas conference basketball i title has been officially awarded to i Bethany college, and the track cham- i pionship to the Emporia Normal school. In the play for the conference tennis title at Emporia Saturday, Southwestern won the women's events, Ottawa won the men's doubles and Baker the men's singles. As a result of the Kansas baseball victory over Missouri Saturday, it is probable that a special post-scheduie series of games will be played between lost his arm in battle. He is back the Jayhawkers and Tiger teams to decide the Missouri Valley champion ship. Permission of the valley confer ence officials will have to be procured, however, before the series can be ar ranged. FOOD FOR FANS BY GEORGE K. PHAIR. Copyright. The Hat. (A Tragedy in One Act).

PLAN' ANEW PARK Women's Club at Plainville Wants a Playground. Commercial Club Working for Better Train Service. TOWN IS GROWING STEADILY New Business Buildings and Residences Being Built. Salina Northern Casts Eyes Toward "Paradise Flats." Plainville. Kan., May 22. This town is not having a building boom, but it is making a continual growth which has been characteristic of Plainville for many years. There was little here when the State Journal cor respondent put in his first appear ance about 35 years ago. At that time the town had a sod hotel and the little "soddy' had such a wide name that the commercial men were grlad to be here, for they could get good meals and a bed. The town now has an active Com mercial Club, and the town having grown to business importance, the club is making efforts to secure a day train from Salina over the Lincoln branch of the Union Pacific. Heavy steel rails have been laid from Sa lina to Plainville, a distance of a lit tle over 10U miles. If successful it is believe it will materially help both passenger and freight traffic. The Plainville Mill and Elevator company has contracted for improve ments this year aggregating $10,000. This is one of the largest flouring mills in north central Kansas, and the Burroughs Bros., the owners and operators, are among the best known milling people in this section of the state. They show their enterprise in the improvements they are continually making in their milling plant. Soon to Have Park. Plainville, one of the best towns of its size in the state, is making sev eral improvements. The Ladies' Pris cilla Art club has taken hold of a public park and playground proposi tion, which if successful will be a much needed addition to the welfare of the town. Another committee of women, members of the Art club, met 25 YEARS AGO IN TOPEKA From the columns of THE TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL May 1891. Major J. K. Hudson has returned from his Washington trip.

Baker and Mr. .Harry Seery of the firm of Seery Morton, took place last night at the residence of the bride's parents un West Sixth avenue. The wedding cou ple entered the room unattended while Miss Ltaisy Sampson played the wed ding march. The bride looked lovely in a costume of white faille. She car ried roses.

The council appointed a com mittee, and a report will be made for its establishment and maintenance. A survey has been made for a sewer system. Buildings Going I "p. Several new business buildings are under way. J. N. Sawyer is erecting two store rooms, and F. K. Hoff has begun the excavation for his modern opera house, which will be one of the largest in that part of the state. P. E. Slason will begin the erection at once for his garage, 50 by 150 feet. Other business houses are contem plated this year. The residence section is growing, several being in course of construction. The new McClay ice plant has already proved a big bene factor to our people. It starts up with a capacity for making five tons daily. Paradise Flats, one of the most beautiful and productive sections of country, seen anywhere, surrounds Plainville. This town is centrally sit uated on the "Flats." New Railroad Planned. The wheat grown on the flats when over the season is favorable, is enor mous in the yield in bushels. Know ing the richness of Paradise Flats the Salina Northern railroad is looking this way in extending their line from Osborne to Covert, Osborne county, thence to Laton, Rooks county, and on to Plainville. Another line, the Sulf, Plainville Northern, which was graded from here to Webster, on the Solomon river, in 1907, and then went to sleep, has wakened, and there are rumors that something will be doing In this direction at an early date. KAFIR BEST EV EAST KANSAS. Feterita Grows Better in Dry Country, Says Professor Call. Manhattan, Kan.. May 22. Kafir is better adapted to eastern Kansas than feterita because It is better able to withstand wet weather, while feterita is better adapted to the western part of the state because it grows best in a comparative dry climate, according to L. E. Call, professor of Agronomy at the Kansas State Agricultural col lege, who has recently completed ex periments with the two plants. "Kafir should be planted any time between April 25 and the last of May, depending on weather conditions and the part of the state in which the crop is raised," explained Professor Call. "It may be planted earlier in the southern part of the state because of the advanced season while in the north the late spring prevents early planting. "Feterita should be drilled a little later than kafir. It is inclined to rot when the soil is cool. It is not as well adapted to eastern Kansas because the excessive rainfall causes it to mold in the shock. The western counties are better suited to feterita on account of the light rainfall. "Both crops require from three to five pounds of seed to the acre if grown for grain, but if planted for feed, six to ten pounds should be used. Either plant may be grown in any good soil. Some farmers use the poorer land for kafir and the better land for other crops because of the greater profits." DAMAGE IN SAIJjrE COUNTY. Farmers Report Presence of Hessian ..Fly In Wheat Fields. Salina, Kan., May 22. Farmers, grain buyers and millers all over Kan sas have been discussing the Hessian fly in the wheat for the past month and the opinion among Saline county farmers seems to indicate that it is worse in this county than anywhere else. It is predicted that the wheat crop in this county this year will be 50 per cent less this year than last. Saline county, grainmen say, is hav ing the same thing that McPherson county had two years ago. At that time the crop there was partially de stroyed while this county had a bumper crop the same year. V. A. Piymat, of Barnard, who was in Sa lina today, said that the Hessian fly in that section is no worse than usual. PRISON TRIALS SOON Two Murder Cases on Docket of Fed eral Court at Ijeaven worth. LIST IS ARRANGED Pittsburg Normal Prepares for Summer Term Opening. Leavenworth, Kan., May 22. Two trials for first degree murder, in which a maximum penalty of hanging may be decreed, were on the docket in United States district court, which convened here today. The state of Kansas abolished capital punishment in 1907 but the federal government still retains the right to hang persons convicted of murder on government reservations. In the present cases Robert Stroud is accused of slaying Andrew Turner, a guard at the federal prison here, on March 26, and J. S. Jones is charged with stabbing to death Henry Schmidt, a fellow prisoner, in the prison on January 19, because he sprinkled salt on Jones' hair. Stroud was serving a term for man slaughter in Alaska. 'His mother is here from the territory to intercede for him. Lecturers From East on Pro gram for the Season. Pittsburg, Kan., May 22. All ar rangements have been completed for launching the summer session at the State Manual Training Normal May 31, two days after the close of the regular term. Indications are for a record breaking enrollment. The en rollment will be more than 1,500. it is announced at the office-of President W. A. Brandenburg. The corps of special lecturers for the summer session is much the strongest the Normal ever has offered, President Brandenburg says. At the head of the list stands Charles H. Judd. dean of education at the "University of Chicago, secretary of the North Cen tral Association of Colleges and Uni versities of the country. Another is C. A. Prosser, head of Dunwoody Institute, Minneapolis, who was the first secretary of National So ciety for the Promotion of Vocational and Industrial Education. Mr. Prosser will spend a week at the Normal. Dr. C. F. Hodge of Oregon, who is author of one of the best known books on nature study and who is prominent in biological research, will lecture daily for a week. Miss Carrie A. Lyford. specialist in home econ omics working under the direction of the national bureau of education, will spend one week and possibly two at the session. Other lecturers will be Dr. Layton S. Hawkins of the New Tork department of education, Dr. A. E. Winship, the Boston educator-editor, and Dr. Lydia Allen De Vilbiss, of the Kansas board of health. In addition numerous Kansas school men will appear during the session which lasts throughout June and July. prairie fires around Ness City may have a lot to do with the better wheat condition. Agricultural exprts have long advised the burning off the ground in the fall, and much of the ground was burned ofed inadvertent ly by prairie fires. This land is now making the best wheat, it is said. FIND TEACHER'S BODY Rebuked by Woman for Contemplating Suicide, She Disappeared May 5. POSTMASTERS AT WICHITA.

Hutchinson, Kan., May 22. "If there are any Hessian flies or bugs of any kind in our wheat nobody seems to know it," is the report pre sented by J. G. Bloxsom of Ness coun ty. At least, he said, there has been no talk of it and the general opinion is that the prospect for a bumper crop in Ness county is the best in 30 years, Mr. Bloxsom said.
