Radicals Give United States Three Months to Act." BY CARL W. ACKERMAN. Berlin. July 12. The overthrow of Chancellor von Bethmann Hollweg. champion of a conciliatory policy to ward the United States, and the un loosening of German submarines with in three months, was predicted by von Tirpitz supporters here today, un less President Wilson acts against the British blockade. Members of the conservative party and those favoring annexation of ter ritory conquered by Germany joined in the forecast. They said the opinion of America will be disregarded. A private source close to the for eign office made this statemen to this correspondent regarding the attempt to unseat Bethmann-Hollweg at a time when the war is approaching a crisis: "Unless America does something against England within the next three months there will be a bitter fight against the chancellor. One cannot tell whether ne will be able to hold his own against such opposition. The future of German-American relations depends upon America." Believe chancellor Will Win. But despite this political drive against the man who stood out against a break with the United States in the Lusit.mia crisis. Americans here be lieve Bethmann-Hollweg will again rmcrge triumphant. They feel certain that if the chancellor appealed to the public for a decision, he would be sup ported. The fight to oust the chancellor, the beginning of which was reported in 7ress dispatches a few weeks ago, has now grown to such proportions that it overshadows in interest the allied of fensive. "The attacks on the chancel lor have gradually grown bolder since the appearance of Prince Buelow's book, "Deutsche Politik," because this book is believed to be the opening of Buelow's campaign to oust the chan cellor and step back into the position he occupied until succeeded by Bethmann-Hollweg in 1909. This move ment has grown more forceful since the German answer to President Wil son's ultimatum was sent. The con servatives accepted the German note as containing a conditional clause and they have been waiting to see what steps the United States would take nsainst England. Prefers War With TT.

TOWN BOMBARDED German U-Boat Throws Shrap nel Into British City. One Woman Killed, Extent of Casualties, Is Report. London, July 12. The English coast town of Seaham harbor. County of Durham, was bombarded during the night by an enemy sub marine, the war office announced this afternoon. One woman was killed. The town of Seaham harbor lies oh the"-North sear It has a population of about 12,000 and is important chiefly as a coal shipping port. This is the second time since the begin ning of the war that an enemy sub marine has bombarded a British coast town. The official announcement says: "At 10:80 o'clock last night a Ger man submarine appeared off the small undefended port of Seaham har bor (on the North sea, six miles south of Sunderland, and a coal shipping port). She approached within a few hundred yards of the town and then opened fire. Some thirty rounds of shrapnel were fired from a three inch gun. Twenty rounds fell in the direction of Daltondale; a dozen fell a and about Seaham colliery. "A woman walking through the col liery yard was seriously injured and died this morning. One house was struck by a shell. No other damage was done." PLEA FORPOLAND President May Make Personal Appeal to Monarchs. Tells Delegation U. S. Has Made Extreme Efforts. Washington, July 12. President Wilson may make a personal appeal to the ruling monarchs of the belllg erent nations of Europe to save Po- j I land from starvation, j Replying to the appeal for such ac i tion made to him today by a delega 1 tion representing the Polish organiza i tions of the country, the president strongly indicated that if all other I measures failed, he will take the ques jtion .up- personally. The president jtold the delegation: I "The Polish situation has engaged :my thought constantly and I might say without exaggeration I do not j think there is any matter to which the state department has devoted more constant and repeated effort than that of trying to get relief to Poland. Well Aware or Conditions. "1 know the terrible conditions, the tragic conditions, that exist there, and nobody could know them without feel ing his heart torn with the knowledge. Just the other day I issued a special appeal to the governments concerned to make concessions and allow this j humane thing to be done. Now I am simply up against a stone wall in the matter. I cannot force food in there without complicating the situation i and without, I conjecture, doing a 1 greater disaster to Poland than ser vice. Her only friends are apparently i at a disadvantage but I can assure you that every kind of pressure that can be brought will be brought and is being brought to the accomplishment of this object. "I desire, as well as all those asso ciated with me, to help her and as a reminder it was most unnecessary that you should come here. I mean I was not forgetful of Poland and was not likely to be forgetful of her, but thac makes your visit none the less impres sive and none the less welcome, and you may be sure that I will continue to do everything that is possible."

FUNSTONIS READY Warm Reception Waiting for the Villa Raiders. Precautions Taken to Guard the Big Bend Country. GUARDSMEN PUT TO WORK Maine Companies Stationed on Rio Grande at Laredo. Massachusetts Troops Relieve Cavalry Detachment. BY JOSEPH T1MMONS. San Antonio, Tex., July 12. "We'll be ready when they come," said Gen eral Funston today, referring to the reported movement north towards the Big Bend country of Villa's men of the command that captured Jiminez. By way of being ready. General Funston ordered into the Big Bend country two battalions of Pennsyl vania troops from separate regiments stationed at El Paso and the squadron of Texas cavalry, which has been sta tioned at Del Kio. The infantry will be used of neces sity mainly to garrison towns along the Big Bend of the Rio Grande that gives its name to the country and to garrison the cavalry bases. The ac tual patrol that will be depended upon to report the approach of the bandits and to keep them from crossing the river or to pursue them if they get across, must be done by cavalry. Heeding Warning. General Funston and his subordi nates are not neglecting the warning given them by the Carranza govern ment, but no separate information has been obtained that the Villistas are moving northward from Corral itos, below Jiminez. It is expected that if this reported movement northward for an American raid is not abandoned, the bandit forces will follow the course of the Kio Loncno and approach the Rio Grande somewhere near Ojinaga, op posite x-resiuio. unce there, they might make the attemot to cross un the river or down It from that point. It is more than likely that the bandits would move down the river toward htoqulllas, as that country is more in viting to raiders. Order More Trucks, Ten more motor truck companies of 33 trucks have been ordered. This will bring the total number of these trucks in the army transport service up to 2.355. Of equal significance with tha. mo- btitzatioh of Xhe"nationaI guard regi ments on the border, is the rapid or ganization of new regular army regi ments, under the new army bill in this department. Officers and men as signed from old organizations to form the nucleus of new regiments are ar riving at the places designated for the new units. Here at Fort Sam Hous ton this mobilization will soon pro duce the Sixteenth cavalry with 790 men, the Thirty-seventh infantry with 640 men and the Seventh field artil lery with 585 men. Five other regi ments of the three arms of the service will be organized at Brownsville, El Paso and Douglas. Both the old regi ments will be rapidly filled up with re cruits and reserves called back to the colors. Guardsmen on Guard. Laredo, Tex.. July 12. State troops began regular service as border patrols here today when several detachments of the Maine National Guard were dis patched to garrison small stations on the Kio Grande both north and south of Laredo. Cavalrymen Relieved. El Paso, Tex., July 12. Five com panies of the Fifth Massachusetts in fantry were transferred today by mo tor trucks from Camp Cotton here to patrol stations along the New Mexico border as far as Anapra, relieving de tachments of the Eighth United States cavalry. LONDON WATCHES N. Y. Lombard Street Awaits Course of Money Market. London, July 12. Lombard street is anxiously waiting the course of the money market in New York as a further rise is sure to bring corporat ing measures of protection here in the shape of higher discount and treasury bill rates in order to protect exchange and retain balances. Some authorities believe the strin gency in New York is only temporary, but in view of the fact that New York, as the chief money center of the world for the time being, is absorbing a large amount of dollar securities and financing loans for Russia, France and neutrals, besides its own domestic trade, it is an interesting question whether the monetary stringency will be relieved. Sinking reserves and the necessity of financing American crops have to be considered but in the opinion of Lombard street if money does not ma terially exceed the present level, there will be no necessity for further pro tective measures here, where today three months' bills are quoted at 5 g 6 per cent and day loans over 4 per cent. ELKSlUCRAB FEAST Five Steamers Chartered for Their Trip to Love Point. Baltimore, July 12. An excursion to Love Point on Chesapeake bay, to partake of a crab feast there, was the big event today on the program on entertainment for the visiting Elks and their ladies here for the annual meeting of the grand lodge of the order. Five steamboats were charter ed to accommodate the thousands that thronged the piers early in the morn ing. The grand lodge delegates continued their business session but planned to clear up the days schedule in time to take the last boat for the scene of the J festivities. PB REAL TEST GOMES Can Deutschland Dodge Cordon .ir of British Warships! Unloads Cargo; Ready to Sail Sunday or Monday. SISTER SHIP COMING TO U. S. Bremen to Land at Some U. S. Port Within Two Weeks. British Government Takes Se rious View of Situation. BT CARL B. GROAT. Baltimore, Md., July 12. Secure in the belief that the Washington gov ernment will not rule against his craft. Captain Konig today hastened work of unloading the million dollar dyestuffs cargo from the mammoth German super-submarine Deutschland. He was anxious to have done with this task and to commence taking on the most precious cargo nickel and rubber for the return trip to Germany. The really vital test for tho Deutsch land is still ahead. This will come when she shunts her vast green body beneath the waves and shoots out for home while watchful allied ships off the Virginia capes endeavor to destroy or capture her. She will not have the advantage of the secrecy which marked her depart ure from Germany. As matters now stand, the Deutsch land holds will be empty some time to morrow, filling her with nickel and rubber will take two or three days, making her ready for departure Sun day or Monday. She plans a brief stay at Norfolk. From there she will prob ably submerge at night, remain down deep and endeavor to run the patrol without poking her periscope eye3 above the surface until far out at sea. Baltimore, Md., July 12. The Bre men, sister ship of the German super submarine Deutschland, is now at sea, it was learned officially today. When she will dock or where, is, however, kept a carefully guarded secret. The best obtainable information is that she will reach the United States within two weeks. Bremen May Come to Baltimore, Too. The tug Timmons, secret "go-between" for the Deutschland and her local agents, is at present in the har bor here, said an announcement from the Eastern Forwarding company to day, in answer to printed reports that she had gone on another secret mis sion. The Timmons probably will tow the Deutschland down the river to Norfolk where she picks up part of her cargo and then may await arrival of the Deutschland's sister ship Bre men. Just where the Bremen will dock has not been disclosed but water front men are inclined to think she, too, is coming here. Intimations are that the Bremen and Deutschland are the first of a line of eight or more car go submarines. German Ambassador Von Bernstorff will come here tomorrow to inspect the giant submarine Deutschland and congratulate her captain and crew, it was officially announced today. Her visit is said to be unofficial, however. London, July 12. The Dally News says the British government is dis posed to take a very serious view of the status of the German submarine Deutschland. The official opinion is said to be that under existing circum stances a submarine cannot be classed as a merchant vessel at all. UNCLE THE STAY AT HOME HEAT OVERCOMES STEEPLEJACK AT TOP OF FLAGPOLE MftneapoHsv July-1-2. -Overcome by the heat while working on a flag pole, Gunnar Halvorien, a steeplejack, is in a hospital today fighting for life. He was repairing a halyard on a flag pole when prostrated. He had placed a loop of rope under his arms before begirming work and for thirty minutes hung unconscious forty feet above the ground. Firemen lowered his body with a block and tackle. FIGHTING GOES ON De Factos and Villistas in Big Clash at Cerro Blanco. Pancho Himself Believed To Be Directing Bandits. Chihuahua City, Mex., July 12. Heavy fighting is now proceeding be tween de facto government troops un der Gen. Ernesto Garcia and a large Villa force at Cerro Blanco, some miles below Parral, according to dis patches received today by Gen. Jacinto Trevino. General Garcia reported that he was engaged in holding the bandits until tho forces under General Matias Ramos and General Domingo Arrieta which are now proceeding up the rail way from Jiminez, arrive. General Hilario Rodriquez, one of the Villa leaders who joined Canuto Reyes in surrendering to the govern ment a few months ago, has informed General Irevino that he received a personal letter from Villa from which the bandit chief pleaded with him to return to his -old allegiance and to join him in resisting the "Yankee in vaders." This letter was dated June 15 at San Juan Baptista. In his communication to General Trevino, General Rodriguez stated he no sympathy with the efforts of Villa to divide his country and was de termined to help the Carranza au thorities restore order. Villa Leads Bandits? El Paso. Tex.. July 12. Thousands of guardsmen continue to arrive here but public interest today centered in the fighting betfeen Villistas and Car ranzistas. General Trevino reported from Chihuahua City that rebel bands were repulsed at Parral and Rosario. Authorities are gradually being won over to the belief that Villa personally is directing the renewed activities of the bandits. From Rosario the Villistas were driven southward toward the Durango line. A de facto government scouting patrol from Parral engaged the ban dits in the vicinity of El Valle and drove them into the hills. The Thirty-first Michigan regiment was encamped here today and two Michigan regiments were expected hourly. Corporation Counsel Barlow, of Detroit, commanded the Thirty first. A Pennsylvania cavalry regi metn also arrived here yesterday aft ernoon. Dr. Luis L. C. Chavaria, the Mexican surgeon who attended wounded Amer ican troopers at Villa Ahumada fol lowing the Carrizal battle, was at tacked in a crowded street last night and stabbed several times. His assail ant escaped. The doctor's injuries are not considered serious. Despite unsettled internal conditions in Mexico several Americans from El Paso have returned to their interests in Chihuahua. THOUSANDS DIE Mexico Population Would Wel come War. as Relief. J Tilla Is Getting Upper Hand in Northern States. TREVINO WOULD REOPEN MINES -r, Flans Made for Improving ECO-J nomic Conditions. Americans Return as Anti Gringo Sentiment Dies. Eagle Pass, Tex., July 12. "The civil population of Mexico would wel come war, intervention or anything to relieve famine conditions." This was the statement today of Ra mon Santos, former employment agent of the national railways of Mexico, who stopped here en route to his home in San Antonio. He has spent the last three months in Mexico and says that "thousands are dying of starvation." "Villa is getting the upper hand in northern Mexico and soon will be in control of every section." he said. "Desertions from the Carranza army number hundreds daily. Most of the government troops are anxious to fight the United States. They Bay Carranza is a coward and Villa is a brave man and join the latter." To Solve EJconomic Problem. Chihuahua City, July li Plans for the improvement of economic condi tions are being made by the foreign residents of this city, it was an nounced today. The efforts have tht I support of General Jacinto Trevino, commanding the carranza army 01 the north, who asserted that in his opinion the real solution of the prob lem lies in the resumption of the operation of the mines, smelters and other industries in the state. He pointed out that in this way the government would be provided with adequate revenue to carry on its func tions and that men who, through lack of work and resultant hunger have been forced into a life of banditry, could be given employment Americans who fled the city at the beginning of the recent crisis between the two nations are returning and all traces of anti-American sentiment have disappeared. Numbers of for eigners, including Americans who have lived in the state for years, ex press themselves as believing that the proffering of a plan which will Im mediately revive the dormant indus tries of northern Mexico would be the greatest help the American govern ment can render the republic.

RAG AND A BONE AND MOTHER WHO DOESNOTCARE "Baby Blatz," Waif, Unwelcome in World, Dies in Topeka. Left to Care of Others by Woman Who Made Mistake. THRU WORLD OF ADVERSITIES Finally, After 5 Months, the Tiny Hands Were Folded. Cared For by Kindly Lady Who Longed for a Child. Baby Blatz is dead. As a matter of fact the baby has been dead for sev eral days but there was no one to mourn his death and it passed unan nounced. Baby Blatz the only name he bore during the five short months he lived came into the world an unwelcome little mite of humanity, was deserted by his one parent the day after he was born, served as a plaything for half a dozen children, was rescued and nursed back to a semblance of health, then died. He was one of twins. His brother died the day he was born and thus escaped the fate of "Baby" Blatz. Early in the spring a strange couple came to Topeka, a young woman and an elderly man. The man said he was the woman's uncle. They took rooms on Monroe street and remained there for a few weeks. The woman gave birth to twins. The day after that the "uncle" made an arrangement with Mrs. Jack Slavens in North To peka to care for one child and that night he and the woman disappeared. They had told the landlady the wom an's name was Blatz. Out on Sidewalk. Mrs. Slavens cared for the child as best she could with five or six of her own to look after. Saturday night came and the money from the "uncle" was not forthcoming. Monday Jack Slavens was killed while moving a j house. Mrs. Slavens could not care for the baby. It was reported that the Slavens children had the little child out on the sidewalk in the sun and wind playing with it like they would play with- a -dog- or ca.- A woman made an investigation and found the facts as reported. She took the child away from the children and before the probate judge. For a week nothing was done about the child but eventually it was turned over to L. L. Kiene, sheriff, and he arranged to have it cared for. There were many days when the child hovered between life and death but it gained gradually. men it developed whooping cough. There was. another fight to keep the breath of life in its boy. Woman's Good Care, Not long ago the baby was turned over to a woman who wanted it be cause it was a baby. She cared noth ing about its antecedents nor its his tory. She bathed it and cared for it as if it were her own. But the poor beginning Baby Blatz had had, the lack of care and the exposure had re duced its chances to zero, and a few nights ago its hands were folded across its breast. Somewhere there is a father and somewhere is the mother who desert ed her offspring the day after it was born. Officials have tried to trace her without success. Baby Blatz is dead and buried and apparently the only one who cares is a stranger, a woman who knew neither the father nor the mother and who cares only be cause it was a baby.

Democratic and Republican senate leaders today agreed on a program that promises adjournment of congress before Sep tember 1. The Republicans will op pose, but will not filibuster on either the shipping or revenue legislation.

IRISH IN CHARGE VICTORIOUS Fnsilleers Dash Into Trenches and Slay Enemy. Allies' Offensive Captures 19, 000 Prisoners, 104 Cannon. London, July 12. German resist ance to the British offensive along the Somme front took the form last night of strong counter attacKs which at two points made dents in the line estab lished by General Haig's army. Heav ily reinforced, the Germans made a determined drive at the British front. At Mametz and Trones woods in the Montauban sector of the British rights, some ground was gained by the Ger man columns. The French have not resumed their offensive in the Somme region. There has been notable activity in the Verdun sector. Th crown prince's troops, after their success of yesterday in Fumin wood and ai the Dam Loup battery, where they gained a footing, struck at the French in the vicinity of Dead Man Hill, west of the Meuse. The attacks were repulsed. To the east of the Meuse the French report having reoccupied some of the ground lost in the Fumin wood region. They also drove the Germans out of trenches near Reillon, in Lor raine and carried out further success ful surprise operations in the Cham pagne. Italians Drive Back Austrians. The Italian offensive has been pushed recently, not only in the Tren tino, where the Austrians have been driven back long distances from their farthest points of advance, but along the Isonzo where Gorizia is the ob jective. In the face of this latter movement, the Austrians, according to an unconfirmed report, through Paris, are said to have evacuated Tolmino. German harrying of the English coast was continued last night with the bombardment by a submarine off Seaham harbor near Sunderland. One woman wasWlled but no damage of consequence was inflicted, according to the British official announcement. Berlin announces a raid by two Ger man aeroplanes on the English channel port of Calais Monday night, when the port was bombarded, together with army encampments. Gen. Haig Admits German Gain. London, July 12. German troops regained some lost ground in the fight ing last night between the Mameta and Trones woods, east of Albert, but all other enemy attacks were beaten off with heavy enemy losses, General Haig reported to the war office this afternoon. General Haig reported that the Ger mans have been heavily reinforced. The Seaforths made another suc cessful raid on the Germans line in the Hohenzollern redoubt, two miles north of Loos. They forced a portion of the German trenches and in a stiff fight killed many Germans, destroyed several machine guns and successfully bombed enemy dugouts. A number of prisoners were taken in this raid. Irish Show Mettle. A party of Irish Fusileers pene trated German trenches at a strongly held position southeast of Loos last night.

President Wilson today agreed to accept t!) resignation of Major General Goethals as governor of the Panama canal at an early date, to be fixed by the gen eral. Goetnals called at the White House and again urged his desire to resign, and retire from the active list of the army, now that his work of building the canal had been finished. Later the president authorized the statement that he reluctantly had left the matter in General Goethals'a hands. Colonel Chester Harding, now en gineer of maintenance in the canal zone, probably will be appointed gov ernor. General Goethals was promoted and given the right to retire by an act of congress. He planned to give up his work several months ago but with drew his request because of renewed slides In the canal. He now thinks the danger of serious slidos has been climirated and does not expect to re turn to Panama. SUMMER GIRL MISSES BEAU WHO'S ON BORDER New York. July 12. This "near war" on the border Is playing hob with summer resorts. Everywhere along the Jersey coast, up north, and in the mountains, comes the plaintive plea of the hotel keeper that the eli gible young man who used to keep the summer girl company has gone to the border, or else is drilling at Platts burg. The shortage of men is serious. Also the resort hotel proprietor are noting with great chagrin that society or a goodly part of it at least is now on the border braving heat and glare to be near brother guardsman, son guardsman or sweetheart guardsman.

Mayor Mitchel and representative physicians of the city, including the members of the ad visory toard of the health department, held a conference today to ascertain whether any further steps can be tak en to check the epidemic of infantile paralysis.

This conference brought to gether true most experienced medical talent in the city, comprising senior practitioners with wide experience In children's diseases and epidemics, as well as outside experts. The mayor will transmit to his department chiefs any orders that may be recommended by the meetixig. The spread of the disease is gener ally around the centers in South Brooklyn- and the lower .east side of Manhattan, where the. epidemic has flourished since its development early in June. Some cases, however, had been discovered in other sections of Brooklyn and a few in the upper resi dential sections of Manhattan. Measles Death Rate Higher. Warnings against a panic were is sued by the mayor and by the health commissioner. The latter said the fa talities from Infantile paralysis had not been nearly so great as from other epidemics. He pointed out that in the last epidemic CT measles there were from 600 to 900 cases a day while the mortality ranged from 20 to B0 per .cent. More lives were lost and permanent injuries resulted from measles last year than will ensue from this outbreak of infantile paralysis, the commissioner said. Pursuing the policy of keeping the city clean, the food Inspectors of the health department announced today that they have destroyed three and a half tons of milk.

Somme Lull Now, Planned to Bring Up Artillery. BY HENRY WOOD. Paris, July 12. The allies' great Bteam roller is moving eastward through the German lines exactly on schedule time. The lull in the fighting on the Somme front, reported today's official statement, was marked down in ad vance on the time table of the allied offensive. Just as any other steam roller must pause to take on coal and for a levelling of the road ahead, the Anglo-French steam roller is halting and preparing for the next infantry rush. The highest French military authorities, returning from the front, declare today that the offensive Is pro ceeding with all the mathematical, ex actness with which is was originally planned. Copied After Verdun. They admitted frankly that the allies copied from the German attack at Verdun their present tactics of smashing the way through German defenses purely with heavy artillery and trench mortars. They declare however that whereas the Germans at Verdun were unable to keep up their maximum progress after the first onslaught, the allies have con tinued to progress according to sched ule. Since the beginning of the offen sive, the allies' heavy artillery has completely pierced the German lines at several points, rendering possible infantry thrusts for as great a dis tance as fifteen kilometers (eight and one-half miles) had the allies been willing to sacrifice the men such an operation would have entailed. In stead the allied commanders have consistently refused to advance their men until they have brought up heavy artillery and cleared a path: LAY SIEGE TO SAUNA V'ear 500 I. W. W.

"If this should happen everyone in our navy would shout and throw up his hat," he continued, "for it would mean unlimited sea war against Eng land. Our present navy is held in a net of notes. What do you think the United States could do? You could not raise an army to help the allies. You could confiscate our ships in American ports, but if you tried to use them to carry supplies and munitions to the allies we would sink them. "Carrying on an unlimited sea war fare we could sink 600,000 tons of shipping monthly, destroy the entire merchant fleets of the leading pow ers, paralyze England and win the war. Then we would start all over, building merchantmen faster than any nation, and regain our position as a leading commercial power Much Politics Involved. Friends of the chancellor's still hope that President Wilson will take a strong stand against England, there by greatly strengthening Bethmann Hollweg's position. At present the c. mpaign against the chancellor is closely connected with internal politics of the conservatives and the big land owners. The latter are fighting Beth-mann-Hollweg because he promised the people, on behalf of the kaiser, the enactment of franchise reforms after the war. The conservatives, more tactful, are attempting to make political capital out of the food situ ation. It is one of the strange devel opments of the situation that the So cialists, in the present controversy, are the government's chief supporters.

Japan Diplomat Dissipates Fears of United States. RENEWS A FORMER ALLIANCE Two Nations Want to Keep Germany Out of China. Petrograd Paper Intimates U. S. Motive of Treaty. BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS. Petrograd, July 12. The charge that Japan's possible fear pf the Unit ed States was the motive behind the Russo-Japanese treaty, was officially denied here today by Counsellor G. Kozatov of the department of foreign affairs. He declared that the new treaty eontains no cause for alarm in the United States and does not involve the "open door" policy in China. Counsellor Kozatov epoke in the ab sence of Foreign Minister Sazonoff, who is at the emperor's headquarters. He himself first broached the question of a Russo-Japanese treaty when In Japan last January, and is thus quali fied to speak of its underlying mo tives. His attention was called to an ar ticle in a Petrograd daily newspaper, containing tne intimation that the Ja panese-American situation was a mo tive inspiring the treaty. "Is Utterly Absurd." "That is utterly absurd," he said "The Russo-Japanese treaty was aimed at Germany. America was not thought of. Before the war Germany constantly talked of China. She had a well formed policy to increase her sphere of influence there. She re peatedly attempted to induce Russia to join against Japan to block Ja panese interests. Therefore the treaty really had a two-fold purpose. Firbt, Ri-ssia, for the next decade, must concentrate her attention on Europe, having no time to look eastward, so she felt the need of an ally in the far east to protect her Interests there. Secondly, Russia has no intention of allowing Germany to do to China what she did to Turkey. "That is all there Is to it. America can dismiss as baseless the talk of the treaty being levelled at her. This treaty is really the last of three all similar. The first, in 1908, stipulated an agreement between Russia and Japan on Manchurian policies. The second, in 1910, acting together with the third In 1916, merely go a step farther. China's open door policy is in no way involved. There need be no uneasiness in the United States."

The night was calm on both banks of the Somme last night, said an official statement from the war office today, dealing with the Anglo-French offensive. Since the beginning of the allied of fensive the British and French forces have captured 2 3 villages, 19,000 pris oners, 104 cannon and several hundred machine guns. Resume Verdun Founding. Paris, July 12. The Germans deliv ered two attacks last night on a French position in the neighborhood of Dead Man Hill on the Verdun front. The war office announcement of to day says that both these assaults failed, breaking down under French fire. East of the Meuse the French re-took part of the ground won yes terday by the enemy. In the opera tions east of the Meuse the French took eighty prisoners, of whom one is an officer. There were no developments last night on the Somme front. The French conducted successful raids in the Champagne and in Lor raine. Germans Gain Before Verdun. Paris, Tuesday, July 12. Although the battle in Picardy which has been raging for ten days is absorbing most of the attention of the German com manders, they were able Tuesday to revive the struggle at Verdun, making some advance there and delivering several sharp local attacks in the Lorraine and Vosges sections, prob ably to conceal the transfer of troops to the Somme region. Having n tained their grip In the Thiaumont works but failing to de bouch therefrom, the Germans are now trying to push forward their left flank. Their artillery was busy all day and all night. Tuesday morning they worked up the bombardment to a pitch equal any that has gone before. Then the bombardment ceased, making way for the infantry. One column sought to work Its way along th railroad where It runs around Hill 320, towards the Fleury station situated in the eastern ex tremity of the village, but it melted away before the French fire as did another column attacking Chapitre wood. Cilumna debouching from Vaux Fort, however. suceeded in getting a bare footing after intense fighting In the Fumin wood to the west and in the ruined Dam Loup battery, one of the subsidiary outer defenses of Verdun which lies three quarters of a mile southwest of the village on the edge of the La u fee plateau.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNALWEDNESDAY EVENING. JULY 12, 1916 3 Up to the Minute SfortingNews From Everywhere. FIRST TOOMAHA Little Slip by Lambeth Cost Savages a Game. Engle Put Out of Contest by Umpire Shannon. Manager Engle got in the opening Same at Omaha so energetically that the umpire had to send him to the club house. After driving in the only two (?cores the Savages made, Engle was invited to make use of the bath sprinkler in the eighth when he ob jected to a series of cloee decisions that all went to Omaha. The final score of the game was 3 to 2. It might have been 2 to 1 the other way had Lambeth kept his head on his shoulders in the fourth inning. With a man on first, Thompson, of Omaha, hit a bunt to Lambeth and the latter couldn't make up his mind whether to throw to first or second base. As to whether or not he ever has made tip his mind, is uncertain, but it's a cinch he had not at the time both men landed safely on their bags. Slip Cost Game. The little slip in Lambeth's thinking machinery threw him off his stride so badly that he gave the game away as rapidly as possible. He walked two, forcing In one run and then Cy Forsythe hit a sacrifice fly that count ed the last Omaha tally. After the disastrous inning Lambeth settled into his regular habits and pitched shutout ball the remainder of the route. In all he allowed only six hits. The Savages made their lone pair in the seventh. Devore led the attack with a single and camped at the third station when Agler followed with a double. Engle then came to bat with hi. trusty ash and counted them both. Goodwin Missed Chance. Goodwin might have been able to drive Engle in for the tying count, but the manager was out trying to manufacture an extra base out of nothing. t'ochran made the only error of the game. Monroe was sent in to play third base after Engle was expelled, and Eddie got a single in his only time at bat. Goodwin started two double plays that were completed and these were the only two chances he had. ONE RUN SHY (AT OMAHA.) OMAHA.

HUGHES' NO-HIT RECORD IS NOT RECORD AT ALL The report that Tom Hughes had a record for all the Kgues in pitching fifteen and two-thirds in nings without ftiving a hit must have stirred Fred Toney's wrath. Toney can prove that he pitched seventeen innings all in one grame and didn't allow a hit. And there have been minor league pitchers to do better than Hughes. BVCLUG" STANDING OF THE CUBS.

George Baumgartner, pitching with the St. Louis Browns, will stay in the big leagues all his life if he can man age it. Recently Baumgartner was told to report at Little Rock, but he took a contract at about one-fourth the price to remain with St. Louis. Baumgartner is potentially one of the best pitchers in the game, but ho is overburdened with temperament. ft- tea ue (:.Sli ffT Hi 5ft WALTER JOHNSON, JR., SMOKE TOO, BUT Walter Johnson, Jr and a new one of his father. The picture of Walter Johnson, Jr., shown herewith, shows the son of an illustrious father prepared to follow in his steps. Young Johnson ro cently celebrated his second birthday, receivine at his party tine youngster of the Washington ball players. Though Walter, Jr., has lots of brilliant stuff, he shows the fault of most young pitchers, lack of control, and some times hits his mother's callers in the eye. His mother was the daughter of Congressman Roberts of Nevada. MANY DOUBLES TEAMS Interest In Mixed Tennis Tournament Insures a Big Success. Interest in Topeka first mixed doubles tourney, to be held at the Y. M. C. A. courts beginning July 19, is steadily increasing. More than five teams have entered for the mixed doubles trophy, and many more com binations have signified their Inten tions of doing so. Extra care is being taken to have the Y. M. C. A. courts in perfect shape. They are being watered and rolled every night. Entries can be made now at the Y. M. C. A., phone 3 907. The third round in singles and the final round in doubles was reached Tuesday night at the Lowman Hill tourney. One decided upset was the defeat of Weiskirch in two long sets by Swendson. The. Potwin boy -who snowed up so well against Burch the previous evening seemed to be suffer ing a relapse from his ordinary stand ard of play. Groff playing a steady game easily defeated Green. In the doubles semi-finals Groff and Nettels easily defeated Mitchell and Myers, 6-2. 6-2. The semi-finals and finals will be played off this afternoon in the singles.

Boys, oh boys, I'm grow-ini? fa-at, I've become an orftil frig-tit; Into the ring don't heave yonr ha-at 'Cause no more do I n-ant fight. I'd sure scrap that Iillon bo-oy. And all t'othcrs that I see. But I'm putting on beef, bo-oys. Go atvay! lon't bother me. Who Knows? Can it be that Messrs. Cobb, Kauff and Evers have been throwing their bats lately only for the purpose of training their wings for trench bomb heaving? Literal Fellow. Eh? Barney Dreyfuss, of those there Pittsburg Pirates, is quoted as saying: "I will pay $50,000 for a good hitter who can fill the vacancy in our club." Any one player who could fill the "vacancy" surely would be worth that price, because, as we view the situa tion, the Pirate "vacancy" is in the outfield, the infield, in the pitching ranks and behind the plate. Peckinpauffh Starring. Roger Peckinpaugh just now is playing the Vest game of his career. Always a brilliant fielder, the Yankee shortstop is making stops and throws that are hair-raising to an extreme. And he is hitting in a way that has surprised his most enthusiastic ad mirers. In other years. Peck rarely could deliver in a pinch. This season most o his clubbing has been done at opportune times. rcfoit; and After. Before the Moran-Dillon affair, Mo ran said: "After this fight is over I cm going to enlist in rhe army." Dillon said: "If I bet.t Moral.. I will enlist." The fight is over. Dillon beat Moran and neither has enlisted. Why Jim Isn't "Warring.'" Jim Savage, the New Jersey heavy weight, yearned to be a soldier. When the call to arms came from Washing ton, Jim donated his services, took the oath of allegiance and went to a mi litia camp. He was ready to knock out as many Mexicans as would step before his trusty gun. But Jim didn't go to Mexico. Here is the reason as given by the Newark News: "When Jim Savage went to the mo bilization camp with the troops. Mrs. Jim Savage surveyed the seven Savage children and promptly conclu'ded that Jim was needed more in Newark than in Mexico "Mrs. Jim then visited a number of army officers in an effort to secure Jim's release. Finally she got Gen eral Sadler. The warrior was im pressed with the statement that seven HAS PLENTY OF HE'S YET A BIT WILD L::, '111, lit 4 'fk. BASEBAXiIi TODAY. Western League.

Harry At wood, bantamweight, of Los Angeles, Calif., was given the decision over Bobby Burns of Dallas, Texas, at the end of their twelve-round bout here. Atwood weighed 119 pounds. Burns being two pounds lighter. little Savages might suffer if Jim went to war. So he said: 'We don't need him yet. I'll put him on the reserves. "Mrs. Savage agreed that would be fine. "All this time Jim didn't know what was going on. He was 'presenting arms," standing at 'attention,' etc., in camp, when, to his astonishment, Mrs. Savage appeared at his tent and an nounced he was through temporarily as a soldier. He wouldn't believe it and went to work again. She waited around. In about an hour the papers arrived. "Jim is home again." Heinle Comes Back. Heinle Wagner has been recalled by the Red Sox. The veteran shortstop didn't scintillate as manager of the Hartford club. By mutual agreement, he quit his job, and Joe Lannen at once hired him, primarily to act as coach and scout. But, in an emer gency, Heinie is still good enough to cavort around the short field. Tribute to Great Horse. This- is what the Trotter and Pacer magazine has to say about Earl, Jr., the grand old harness horse, which is to be campaigned again this summer hy his owner, Walter R. Cox, of Dover, N. H.: "The vicissitudes of training and adverse weather render the readiness of the average race horse uncertain. But Earl. jr.. the iron-sided, ever green, oak-hearted, battle-tested but never scarred hero of eight arduous campaigns, on the dirt in the summer, and the ice in winter, is always ready. Eight of his eleven years have been spent on the firing line where the fight was fiercest, but his heart has never quaked and his marvelous fibre has never weakened. "Earl, jr., like the war horse that Is an epic in the drama of Job, "He mock eth at fear and is not affrighted; neither turneth he back from the sword. He saith to the trumpets, Ha. ha. and he smelleth the batter afar Off. the thunder and the shouting.' "When time and age have given surcease to the activities of Earl, jr., we Fhould like to make a modest con tribution to a fund for a monument over his grave, a stone which will commemorate one of the bravest rep resentatives of the bravest breed of horses in the world." He Has Our permission. "Why not let Ty Cobb finish when he starts to attack some taunting fan?" apks a writer. "Some day he will climb into a stand and discover when too late that his Intended vic tim is a pugilist or wrestler not a butcher, or a crippled man, or a sickly boy."

A Chlaipo coroner's jury will have to de- cicie whether Michael Zincus died from i swallowing end of glass tube or from in fection ilue to stepping on a rnsty nail, I aaya a Windy City paper. The case of defunct Zincus seems to be as complicated as that of the Sioux City In dians. Hanlon, it is understood, is show ing much interest in the Zincus case and is devoting a good deal of time watching the market quotations on glues tubes and rusty naila. That somebody is nsfng too much lard is shown by the statement that asserts the annuul consumption in the United States is 100 pounds per capita. Jess Willard is suspected. Willard, you know, is wearing cowboy togs on his circus tour and he has to keep his boots greased and his saddle bags soft. Soon there will be football murmurings in the air. Quite a few of those who ex pect to shine as heroes this fail undoubt edly have already begun to condition them selves and to dream of ripping plunges and spectacular dashes. Will Orpet's lawyers probably could con vince a jury without much trouble that (roodland's victories over the Savages and St. Joe Drummers are conclusive bits of evidence weighty enough to justify a ver dict to the effect that Uoodland has a real baseball team. However, in justice to the mushroom gardeners, those who contemplate forming an unbiased opinion should remember that an exhibition game to the average club of any league is looked upon as a horseplay diversion indulged in for the purpose of conserving the fish schools. When a ball player begins to slip it doesnt take much grease to make his track fast. Harry Hinchinan. former American association slugger, couldn't even hold on one season in the Western league when he began to go back. While it mav not be anything like a record, last week's Western league pitch ing was most unusual. Ten shutout games were hurled during the week. The pitch ers responsible were: Lambeth, Toieka; Bruck, Omaha; Hovlik, St. Joe; Koestner, Wichita; Sommers, St. Joe; Hal la. Lincoln; Ford and Manser, Denver; Baker, lea Moines; and Kauff man, Wichita. John McOraw believes his Giants would bat better If they bad a green background to gaze upon when facing the pitcher. Probably our old friend John thinks the green will remind them of the good old days and that pleasant memories will awaken them to deeds of valor. Give us some green for our Savages if it works. Fred Beebe, the much advertised come back pitcher, is quoted in an eastern paper as attributing his second childhood suc cess to the fact that he knows how to use his head. A great many people succeed be cause they know how to use their beads, but bragging about it is not a sign that they have much head to use. It is reported that the promoters of the recent S teener-Lew is bout in Omaha have refused to pay either of the wrestlers their share of the intake under the pretext that it was no bout in as much as it was stipu lated in the agreements that there was to be no draw. Wrestling, one of the finest sports man has invented, seems to have come into ex istence under an unlucky star. There are few places where the sport has become a prominent pastime without sooner or later coming under a cloud of disrepute for some cause or another. The mat game today is about where racing was fifteen years ago. SCOREBOARD FLASHES Tuesday's hero George Burns, Giant outfielder. George poled out two home runs, the first tying op the score la the eighth and the secoud making victory se cure in the tenth. In addition. Burns banged out two singles and made a won derful running catch of a mighty drive off L,oudeu's bat. Nick Cullop won his ninth straight game and did it in four Innings in the Yanks-Cleveland first game, score being 3 to 2 when he was derricked for a pinch hitter. The fiual was 8 to 2.

THEY PLAY TENNIS ON THE GRASS IN EAST ALTOGETHER Willie Davis, the claycourt tennis champ, is going after the national sin gles title and in doing so will have to learn the grass court game. All the big eastern tournaments are played on turf and in California tennis is a claycourt affair entirely. Most of the western stars who have gone east have learned the game all over again in many ways when they tackled the grass courts. The ball does not bound as briskly on grass of course, and a fast backcourt game is not possible. It's quite likely that Davis will get the stride of grass courts, however, and make things hot for William Johnston. Xunamaclicr Put on Shelf. New Tork. July 12.

But no athlete ever did train on soda water. What else are you reading this summer? I'Louisiana," embossed .'u gold on !one of the full morocco covers, Is the 'title of a magnificent loose-leaf book that has Just been published by the New Orleans Item. It Is a booster book for the prosperous and progres sive state at the mouth of the Mis sissippi and also for New Orleans, its first city and now "the second port of the United States;" and is issued pri marily for hj use of t.ewrpaper edi tors and artists. It is replete with latn pictures and reliable data of some of the men prominent in the commercial, professional, official, political and so cial activities in the state of Louisiana and contains much that is valuable In the way of historical information of all sorts concerning the state and its localities. It is printed on heavy card paper, and must take its place as an edition de luxe among publications of like character. It vie of the remarkable achieve ment of the super-submarine freighter, the Germans are probably now slo ganlng "Deutschland unter alles," as a -companion warcry for their well known "Deutschland ueber alles." Unless Sara Bernhardt advertises that she will exhibit her new wooden leg as an incident to the theatrical performance that she may stage in Topeka on her next farewell tour of America, it Isn't likely that her gate receipts here would assume remunera tive proportions. Most of the Tope feans who paid their $3 per seat for her rendition of "Camille" here a few years back are still obsessed with re grets that they paid out so much good money for such a disappointing re turn. They saw the "Divine Sara," it is true, but that was about all. How much longer will the people of Germany be able to hold out? It has finally been found necessary for the authorities to open soup houses, or municipal kitchens, as they call them, in Berlin, with which It is hoped to feed 30,000 of the poorer and hard est pressed folk daily. War sooner or later becomes more of a hell for the non-combatants than it does for the soldiers. The fighting men have to be fed in some way, and they are nat urally fed first. HOW PREPAREDNESS PAYS Some concrete and illuminating evidence on this score is to be found in the activities and accomplishments of the forces of the United States Ma rine Corps that have been operating in Haiti and Santo Domingo. For some reason or other the United States Marine Corps has al ways been the best prepared unit of all American arms. It has always been ready for any undertaking thrust upon it, and generally at a moment's notice. Its men always are fully equipped and adequately trained for any service demanded. And so there is nothing out of the ordinary in a report from Washington to the effect that the United States Marine Corps with the loss of a few men killed and wounded, has quietly and effectually quelled the latest re volt is Santo Domingo, and, without time lost in undue parley has forced the rebel chieftains to lay down their arms and return to peaceful pursuits. This report is based on late advices from Monte Christi. United States Marines now control the entire island on which Haiti andj Santo Domingo are situated, and that control was gained without serious fighting or great loss of life, and be cause of the thorough preparedness of the marines for the business at hand and their knowledge of the people and their ways. Preparedness, indeed, pays, and it makes for peace and its speedy restoration, also, as the work of the United States Marines In Haiti and Santo Domingo convincingly demon strates. 4 j Had the American soldiers along the Mexican border been even reason ably prepared for any of the emer gencies that there was every reason to believe would develop, the pursuit of Villa would have ended successfully in probably about a3 many days as were required to put the Pershing expedi tion in shape to begin It. And much of the latest trouble with Mexico would have been avoided. carried to Blank's magazine with my heart in my throat. "By some good or evil fortune, I had secured an interview with the edi tor. As I entered his office, he had his back toward me. It did not look formidable and for an instant I was free from nervousness. Then he turned and my hopes went into my shoes. He had on glasses and was frowning. His eyes bored right through me and it required, all my courage to hand him the manuscript. "He took it with evident reluctance, and I sat beside him praying with all my soul for his favorable opinion. It meant so much to me. Almost with despair I watched him slip page after page between his fingers. He glanced at one. looked at a second, a third, and handed It back to me. Won't you read it?" I asked in a very small voice. In my disappoint ment I could hardly get the words out of my mouth. I am sorry I cannot use it, he answered, and turned to his desk. Of course I should have gone at once. I dldn t. For the moment I couldn't move. I suppose there was something in the silence that made him turn to me again. There I sat. without a handkerchief, the tears streaming down my face. He handed me his. I am not sure he did not pat me or. the back, I looked so absurdly like a little girl. If he did, I was too far gone in misery to resent it. "When at last I lifted my head he had the story in his hand and looked no happier than I felt, but he said in a kindly, fatherly sort of way: 'Child' think of it. I was 21 vears old.- "Child, if you must write, have a story to tell. This is nothing but a happening, an episode. Well written, I admit, but there is nothing to hold the attention no plot, no ac tion. We want strong stories of lite' 'But this is a reaj story,' I inter rupted. 'I knew all about it. And life isn't always a complicated affair, doesn't always hinge on a plot. It is more often a happening than anything else.' "For an hour that busy man listened to me. I was sure he would in the end accept it, but I carried it away with me.' "Still I do not see what connection Mr. Isham had with It," one of the ladies remarked. "Oh! I thought I had told you he was the editor who turned me down." She glanced toward him. "The largest check I have ever received I received for that story." He looked at her with amused eyes. "I never before credited you with bearing malice, but now that you have had your revenge walk to the gate with me. Small David is waiting and I never disappoint him with his bed time story." At the gate they paused. The mock oranges on either side were a wealth of bloom. Gathering the branches into her arms, she buried her face in the white petals, breathing the perfume with evident delight. "I would not miss this for all the world. Mary al ways asks me down when they are in bloom and no matter how pressed I am for time I always come," she said. 'I know. That was the real reason for my buying here when I decided the country was the best place for that youngster of mine. I wanted our home to be where you would be hap piest." Surely not again. How often must I tell you I do not need a home." He -laughed slightly. "Doesn t this tempt you?" with a wave of his hand toward the flower-bordered walk. Our grounds are even more beauti ful. Anyway, it is time for my annual proposal. The habit has grown on me. Three times a year for more years than I care to contemplate. UNION PACIFIC DR. To Richard Schwalm for One Toe Jfall $30,000. Suit to Collect Is Filed in the District Court. REAL ROAD HERE Hard Snrface Highway Thru Shawnee, Says Kelley. $50,000 FOR RIDE Fortunes Offered for Passage on the Deutschland. Primarily because of the loss of a toe nail by Richard Schwalm, the Union Pacific Railway company is the defendant in a $30,000 damage suit filed in the district court of Shawnee county today. Schwam was formerly a machinist for the Union Pacific at Cheyenne, Wyo. Because of injuries he alleges he sustained on acount of the com pany's negligence he sues for $29,999. Of this amount $300 is for physician s bills and medicine, $5,000 for loss of timo- si 0 000 for nain and suffering. and $10,000 for permanent injuries. The remainder is interest. It is alleged in the petition uai Schwam worked lor the railway com pany at Cheyenne for six montns ana that while trying to force a bushing into a cylinder on a big Manet engine a chain broke striking Schwam on one foot. The nail, he says, was torn from one toe and driven into the flesh. For five days he worked and stood in greasy water. He holds that his foot became infected from this wa ter. The petition states that it was nec essary to have seven operations per formed on the foot and that eventual ly he lost all of the toes and two- thirds of that foot. He spent six months and nine days in hospitals in Cheyenne, Topeka and Kansas City, and says he is still in poor condition. CURLEY SAYS NOTHING Custer "Survivor" Only Mops His Brow in County Jail. Without the slightest doubt, the pri vate German concern that has launched the new and so far success ful super-submarine freight line be tween Germany and the United States, will have to make the bulk of its fancy profits on such merchandise as it hips to and sells In this country. TTie German government can be de pended upon to see to it that the Jirices this concern may place on the materials It freights back from this country are entirely reasonable. The German government will fix those prices at such a figure, if necessary. Perhaps the "starvation blockade" against Germany is no longer effect ive as some of the war analysts are pointing out because of the success of Germany's super-submarine freight efforts. But it is also a noticeable fact that the Deutschland, the first of the German submarine freighters to reach this country, is not going to carry back a cargo of canned milk for the babies and bacon for the grown ups but one of rubber and nickel. which Germany apparently needs for none other than the purposes of the war.

And. incidentally, he pessimists are certain by this time 'that Kansas is in for an old-fashioned .drought. The Kaw river is approaching a normal stage again, which means that It will soon be more conspicuous for its sandVars and snags than its Volume of water. "SUMMER FICTION." Just how much of the whole truth did the New Tork Tribune tell In this bu.bbling figure of speech? asks Col lier's.

That is the statement made by Ben Mcintosh, alias Curley the Crow, at the county jail today when asked If he cared to give his side of the contro versy with the federal government.

It is charged that Curley. who rep resented himself to be the last sur vivor of the Custer massacre, sold a lot of fraudulent land contracts, not only in Topeka and other Kansas points, but in other states. When he left Topeka, "after having been enter tained lavishly and when a telegram was received by Chief Harvey Parsons, saying Curley was wanted at Albu- I should luerque, there were "sore" people in Prospects for a real hard surface road in Shawnee county were never brighter, according to a statement made by J.

At Eskridee. the citizens. together with a good sprinkling of farmers, announced that it Is probable the road can be extended in Wabaun see county as far as Eskridge. making a hard surface road of thirty-eight miles. To Decide on Route. At a meeting to be held soon of a committee of five from Dover, a com mittee of five from Auburn, and a committee of five from Topeka, the exact route for the Southwest Trails from Topeka to the Shawnee county line will be selected. Following this meeting, it is expected petitions will be circulated for the construction of a hard surface road. If the road is constructed, it is probable that the brick surface will he no more than nine or ten feet in width, shouldered with macadam, the same as roads in Florida and other states where good roads in the coun try have gone beyond the talking stage.

Nagel is vice president for Shawnee county; George Bunger, Eskridge, Wabaunsee countv; C. W. Black, Council Gfove, Morris county; F. E. Munsell, Hering ton, Dickinson county. "Establishment of a hard surface road to the Wabaunsee county line will mean as much as a railroad through that section for Topeka," said Mr. Kel ley today.

Acting Secretary of State Polk said today that while the reports of Cap tain Hughes, U. S.

The stand to be taken in event of warned or unwarned attack on the boat is causing considerable thought.

The thought of a baby in met at the Commercial club this noon Her First Story. (By Susan E. Clagett.) Of the three sitting on the porch the man was the only one who noticed her coming across the grass. Petite in figure, with waving brown hair and eyes tnat matched, she looked like girl as she seated herself on the lower step. In reality she was a woman of 30 or more, and the two were old ac quaintances. He remembered perfect ly the day she came to his office, a mere slip of a thing with great fright ened eyes, the color coming and going in her face, and her vain attempt to steady her quivering Hps. He thought of it now as he watched her listening to the conversation of her friend, a little smile playim? about her mouth. They were talking about her and her work and when one said, "Her stories made a hit from the first; I do not believe she ever had a manuscript returned," she threw back her head and laughed. Much you know about it, Mary. Mr. Isham" with a nod toward the man "can tell you in a dozen words about my first story more than you can guess in a dozen years." "What can he know about It?" her friend asked. "You met him Jiere for the first time this summer." "No. You thought so and I did not undeceive you. We met years and years ago." Sarah Lewis threw a smil ingly malicious glance toward the man in the steamer chair. "He read my first story. To be exact, I should say he looked at it. He didn't read it." David Isham leaned forward and knocked the ashes from his pipe. As he refilled it he said; "It did not deserve consideration." "There is where we ditfer," she re plied lightly. "I think it the best one I have ever written. It lacked literary polish, but the story was there and it was good. I never told you about it." turning towards her friends. "Indeed, there is nothing to tell, but it was my first real disappointment and as such made a lasting impression upon me. Later on I had a good many. Re jection slips came more frequently than checks during those .first years, yet to this day I never send off a manuscript but I think of the story I my smau apartment appalled me. You came in as I laid the letter down, a mere child, yourself, and I do not like children. I She interrupted him. "David not your child! And all these years I have been jealous of his mother," she finished involuntarily. "What!" "Nothing." "All through these years?" "All through the years. From the time I knew there was a little David." "Is that what kept you from say ing Yea'?" She nodded. "I was unhappy, mis erably unhappy at the mere thought you had once cared for another wom an. If I had married you I should never have had a moment's peace of mind. I should have always felt you were thinking of her." "Now that you know you were mis taken what?" She turned to him and nut her- hands on his shoulders. "David," she said with a little nervous laugh, "did you really think so badly of that story as you would have me believe?" He looked down upon her as she stood within the circle of his arms. "My dear Sarah," giving her a little shake, "if you will hark back to that time at such a moment I must tell you I bought the story at an exorbitant price. "Yes. The price was high, but I felt you owed it to me." "What!" "What a dear, dear dunce you are, David. You and I were the only two who knew of that old manuscript. When you sent your friend to me and he asked for it by name, I was per fectly well aware who wanted it. Can you blame me for evening up that old score? It had always rankled, so when you gave me the opportunity I made you pay for it." (Copyright. 1916, by the McClure Newspaper Syn dicate. MARRIAGE LICENSES and prepared a letter for Mr. Gor man.

It was reported about tne neaim commission's offices that a physician engaged in the fight has succeeded in Isolating the germ for the first time In medical history. A most important step is determining the proper course of treatment. 2SS Cases Tuesday A revised statement issued by the health department today showed that 2 63 cases were found yesterday, in stead of 195 as has been reported, making Monday and yesterday, record breakers for new cases. Up to 10 o'clock today, 162 new cases had been reported. This makes a grand total of 1,498 since the epidemic started. Only seventeen deaths from Infantile paralysis were reported in the greater city up to 10 o'clock today. The health department regards this decrease as an extremely favorable sign.

The substitution of oaper rolls for celluloid films in mov- ing picture machines is made possible by the new "cold lipht discovered I by the French engineer, Duasaud, I which is described to the academy of I science by Professor Branley. It is I obtained by automatic Reparation of heat rays from luminous rays which I occur' together in all sources of light hitherto known to science. The quest of an absolutely pure light devoid of all heat long has been one of the great problems of modern physics. The electric light is the I nearest approach to this ideal but far from it as it gives off a certain amount of heat. M. Dussaud has been work j ing on the problem for many years. The light obtained by his method is so intense that it is possible to throw images from newspaper illustrations, picture post-cards and photographic prints on a screen even in a lighted room as clearly and sharply as if they were glass lantern slides.

The heavy rains, already causing great difficulty in motor transportation, have hastened negotiations between Washington and Mexico City for ex tensive use of the Mexico Northwest ern railroad from Juarez for shipment of forage to the American punitive ex pedition.

TELLS DREARY LIFE'S STORY AH His Money Was Stolen on a 2 Visit to Topeka. SNAP SHOTS AT HOME NSWS. Looks Forward to an Education ?t at Reformatory. "Leland Lambert, an 18-year-old farmer boy. son of a well-to-do Mis souri farmer, today confessed to a crime for which the penalty is a term in- the state reformatory, a crime com mitted because he followed the im pulse of a moment. .Lambert is the boy who stole the Ford belonging to Dr. W. H. Weidling Monday morning and who was cap-tm-ed In Dickinson county by the sheriff of that county Monday after noon. He was brought back to To peka by Harvey Parsons, chief of po lice, and went through all the pre liminaries to a sentence today. -He is Just an ordinary country boy away from home only once before and then only for a week. He has gone to school a little and worked a lot. His father runs a threshing ma chine and a sawmill near Browning, Mo., in addition to farming 200 acres of Missouri land. Ther. has never bjen a time when there was not plenty to do around the Lambert place. Last Friday the boy, who had been running the engine at the sawmill, asked his father for money. There was nothing doing. The boy wasn't of age and he says the father didn't think he needed any money. Saturday noon the boy quit work and went to the house. He told his mother he was going to the harvest fields in western Kansas and earn some money of his own. "If you had no money how did you figure on getting there? was asked, To School In Topeka, "I did have some money," he said. 'I sold a pig two weeks before for St 3 and Saturday I rode my wheel to Browning and sold it to a cousin of mine for $12. I bought a ticket to Kansas City and Sunday 1 bought ticket to Topeka." "Why to Topeka if you were going to the harvest fields?" The boy explained that he had cor responded with the Santa Fe telegraph scnool nere and intended to stop and find out about entering the school later. After buying his ticket he still had more than twenty dollars in a wallet which was in his hip pocket. He went to sleep on the train. He walked from the Rock Island depot across to the Chesterfield hotel and asked for room. It was then he discovered his pocketbook and money were gone. Lost Ilia Money. "I asked the clerk If he would trust rrie for a room." said the boy, "and he wild 'Certainly not. Lambert had no supper that eve ning. He walked the streets all through the lonely hours of the night. He knew no one. Once he sat down in a doorway but saw a policeman coming and walked again. In the morning he had no breakfast. "It was about 9 o'clock," he said "when I saw a Ford car standing by a curb. Father has a Ford and I know how to run it. I don't know how I could do it,- and I didn't think of It's being stealing, but I jumped into the car and drove away with it I didn't intend to steal it. I thought 1 would drive it out into western Kansas, where 1 could get work in the harvest fields, write a note and leave it, telling where the car belonged and leave it in the night. That's what I intended to do. I thought I would go out around Scott City. A man who worked for us once said there, was plenty of work out there during har vest." Lambert is one of several grown children and he said none of them had ever been in trouble. He hesi tated long before consenting to having his parents notified. Heady for Kducation. k "There is no use," he said, "father has told ail of us boys that if we get into trouble we'll have to get out the best way we can. It would worry my mother a lot. I don't want her to know I am in trouble. I wrote to her from Kansas City and intended to let her know where I was just as soon as I found work." The sheriff of Linn county, Missouri, was communicated with by Hugh Lar imer, undersheriff. He gave the boy a good record around home. He stated that so far as he knew he had never been in trouble before. Today Lam bert doesn't dread going to the re formatory. "If they give boys an education out there like you say," he said, "it might bu a good thing for me. I wouldn't get a chance to get any education at home until after I am 21.

ALL DANGER IS PAST Members of the I. W. W. Are Leaving Western Kansas. HE HAD ORDERS Rivas Says Carrizal Victims' Leader Refused to Turn Back. Official Report of Carrizal Mas sacre Is Published. AMERICANS WERE HAUGHTY Western Kansas wheat growers are in no further serious clanger from at tacks by I. W. W. leaders, according to Col. R. Neill Rahn, who has re turned from a tour of inspection through northwestern Kansas. The I. W. W. workers are being driven from the wheat growing districts. Colonel Rahn declared, and the danger which recently threatened wheat producers is ended. Colonel Rahn visited WaKeeney, Oakley and a number of other western towns. He found that some of the farmers had suffeied heavy losses when the labor organizers burned wheat stacks and intimidated workers. The far which overcame residents of a number of western counties resulted in heavy purchases of guns and am munition and the farmers and resi dents of towns prepared for open war fare if necessary. "Nearly every farmer and resident of the western counties owns a gun," said Colonel Rahn. "There is real fear in the hearts of many of these people and it would be mighty easy to start trouble. There seems to be little real j tn aanger, inuun. mosi 01 ine urya.ii- izers and disturbers have been started east and the situation is greatly im proved."

Gould, said to be ready to bury the hatchet with the bankers in the fight for control of the Gould railroads, probably will come into control of the Western Pacific, if the new plan for the reorganization of the Missouri Pa cific is carried out. This was learned after a conference on the plan by the Gould estate. Although final action was adjourned for two weeks, those familiar with the plan believe it is certain to be ap proved by the Gould heirs. Under the agreement, the Gould estate holdings of Missouri Pacific 6 per cent notes will be deposited with the bankers in order to forward the reorganization of the property. This would, it is be lieved, clear the receivership up before Octoher next. Under the agreement, control of the rfenver Rio Grande, which has been heretofore lodged in the Missouri Pa cific, will be turned over to the rvulds. This will be done partly through the exchange of the Gould control in the Texas Pacific and tftrough the purchase from the Mis souri Pacific of its Denver Rio Orande preferred stock.

General Pershing's Headquarters in the Field, July 12. General orders just issued at headquarters recom mend that all organization comman ders encourage sports and amusements among their men. in addition to seeing that drills and labor of some sort keep them fairly occupied. The object of the order is to keep the men "on their toes" through the present period of inactivity. Home sickness, that potent destroyer of morale, can best be avoided, thinks General Pershing, by keeping the men occupied. The recent order suggests that the men use some of their spare time in building adobe huts to take the, place of the tents, which are little protection against the heat. Already mud shelt ers are springing up all over camp. If the troops remain in Mexico a few weeks longer it is a safe prediction they will all be housed in cool, rain proof, dust proof dwellings. QUITS CHIHUAHUA CITY General Trcvino Moves Headquarters to Stop Desertions to Villu. Dallas, July 12. El Pueblo, official organ of the Carranza government, in its issue of July 1. received here today, prints the official report of the fight between Mexicans and American troops at Carrizal. The report comes from Lieut. Col. Genovevo Rivas, who took command of the Mexican troops after Gen. Felix Gomez was killed. The report was made to General Gonzales, at Juarez and sent by him to Mexico City. It follows: "I have the honor to report to you that on June 21, at 7 a. m., an Ameri can force composed of eighty or 100 men appeared here. By order of Gen eral Gomez I went out to comVr with the commander of said force to learn object of its presence. He said that he was looking for a gang of bandits that was in the vicinity. Looking for Bandits, "I told him there was no gang of bandits operating in this district, due to the perfect watchfulness of the constitutionalist forces. He then said that he was going to Villa Ahumada to look for a deserter, to which I re plied that we had orders not to permit American troops to move in any di rection except toward the north. Tc which he replied that such orders mat tered nothing to him, that he had or ders to go to Villa Ahumada and that he would do so regardless of our bullets. "After I had reported the result of the interview General Gomez person ally went to talk with the American commander, asking the same questions that I had asked a few minutes before and receiving the same answer. Gen eral Oomez told him that he would regret very much to be obliged to op pose the Americans with force and made him the proposition that he wait three or four hours until the matter could be put before the military com mander at Juarez by telegraph and an answer received as to whether the Americans could be permitted to pass to Villa Ahumada. The haughty American commander replied that he did not want to lose time and that he would pass over us. My general replied that if he (the American commander) thought he was able to do so to try it. Americans Opened Fire. "The Americans opened fire at a distance of eighty meters, to which Our soldiers gallantly replied, joining the-combat. The fight was intense and lasted for two hours in which our first line sustained tne enemy's fire with valor. "General Gomez having been killed early in the fight I assumed command and ordered the advance of the first squadron of the Second regiment against the right flank of the enemy and another squadron on the left.

Visitors are to be denied admission to the state house dome until ar rangements can be made for the ven tilation of the biff attic in the Capitol building. John McBee, state house guide, today issued a decree which means that visitors must stop at the fifth floor of the building. State of ficials have expressed fear for the safety of women and children who visit the dome during the heated season. Several years ago the executive council issued an order which re sulted in the locking of the dome windows with tenpenny nails. Just at this time the dome is not ventilated and is the hottest place in Topeka. Several wo me nwho visited the dome this week were nearly overcome by heat and the exertion of their climb. In ordr to present a possible acci dent, the dome is to be locked pend ing improvements. "One woman who visited the dome this week was carried from the dome landing to the fifth floor by her hus band." paid McBee. "Another woman nearly fainted on the spiral stairway. There is danger of a serious accident with the dome in its present condition. For that reason no visitors are to be allowed above the f'fth floor until im provements are made. Charles Chandler, state architect, is out of town. As soon as he returns the execut've council will discuss methods of ventilating the dome. If sufficient money is available, the repairs will be made at once. Otherwise the dome may be closed to visitors during the remainder of the heated season.

The lawyer said that the footprints spoke plainer than words of the trag edy in the woods. "At the three oaks," said he, "he persuaded Marian to take the poison. He was unable to stand the slight of her death throes and his tracks led off alone for 144 feet to a cluster of four trees. Here the tracks show how he walked up and down, waiting until he thought she was dead; then he went back. There is no other expla nation for these tracks. He and Marian were absolutely alone in the woods, and their tracks were s&M dis tinct when Fred Wenban traced them the next day." Mr. Dady concluded and Ralph F. Potter for the defense followed.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL WEDNESDAY EVENING. JULY 12, 1916 FIGHT FORjABIES Ignorant Mothers Refuse to Gite Up Sick Children. This Hinders Work of Infantile Paralysis Corps. FOREIGNERS DREAD HOSPITALS Pleas of Brooklyn Parents Are Pitiful Sights. Some Mothers Hide Children to Keep Them at Home. BY BETTY GREAME. New York, July 12 :"Oh, please, doctor, da baby, he Is nod seek any more. He is all right, I am telling you, he is all right see." With this plea a mother in the district of Brooklyn stricken -with the dread infantile paralysis today sought to save her baby from the common terror of the foreign Settlement the hospital. Not only must the doctors and nurses engaged in the fight to save human life, battle with disease and filth, but with human ignorance. Mothers fiffht for their children when the ambulance arrives. The entire neighborhood gathers about the doctors and nurses. Often times there are near riots. The incident of today was typical. Was Not Well. In response to the appeals from Mrs. Holman, who lives on Madison street, the ambulance physician picked up the mite of humanity to see that he was "all right." He stood the boy up. His little legs were normal. Then as childish awe gave way to fear, the wee bit of hu manity burst into tears. But only one eye fills, only one side of the little face moves. In the immobility of the other side is writ, as plainly as in words, the presence of the malady in its milder, more common form. A nod and the nurse has striped the child and donned the hospital slip. As she unfolds the white blanket to wrap around it the mother with a cry of despair, snatches her baby and the two half crazed beings cling to each other in desperation. A policeman is summoned and the child is hurried away with the shriek ing mother and neighbors, who swarm into the street, following the wake of the ambulance until it disappears. Ignorance Blocks Work. Ignorance, fear and superstition combine to block the work of those who are fighting day and night to stem the plague that clutches Xew York in a death grip. The light, clean dormitories, corps of skilled nurses and doctors, mean nothing to the poor mothers, bereft of thor young. Two trips were made to the home of I. Sarra before the child was discovered and then only after a battle royal, in which two policemen and the doctor engaged the enraged and frightened clan, was the nurse able to steal away with the unfortunate victim.

All Anxious to See More of Kansas Weather. Vainly looking for a mascot to take the place of "Violet," a tame polecat, stolen from the training camp at Mount Gretena, Pa., the last of 16,000 guardsmen from that state en route to the border passed through Topeka Wednesday over the Rock Island. "The most beautiful creature you ever saw," sadly exclaimed Lieuten ant O'Hara, "and the most affection ate." "We'll never fill her place," a pri vate exclaimed. At Kansas City ,the chalk inscribed day coaches in which the men had crossed half the country were replaced by tourist cars. But the men were too busy looking over the passing land scape in hopes of locating a successor to "Violet" to inscribe in crayon drawn letters on the new coaches the fate that would be Carranza's when the "Pennsy" troops reached the front. Zest 'to the search for a mascot In creased after the troops reached Kan sas City, they declared. At that point the men stripped and lined up along the yards, near their train.

The guards were recruited from Harrisburg, York. Chambersburg and Tamaqua. They are in charge of Major E. S. Vale. Major Frank L. Mueller of Philadelphia also accom panied the men. Until they reached Kansas City, the first section of the Pennsylvania guards to reach here Wednesday were moved in day coaches. With their journey more than half completed, they were furnished tourist cars. Six teen cars, tourist and baggage, were included in the first special to reach Topeka. Two other trains of prac tically the same size followed. Col. M. E. Finney is in charge of the three specials. Although the trains moving troops through Topeka Wednesday carried the last of 16,000 guardsmen from Pennsylvania, that state still has a bri gade unmobilized.

State's Attorney Seemingly Has the Crowd Convinced. MANY WORDS OF APPROVAL Followed the Adjournment of Court Tuesday Xight. Argument for the Defense Is Taken Up Today. Waukegan, 111., July It. When State s Attorney Ralph J. Dady com pletes his argument for the prosecu ton of Will Orpet today. Attorney Halpli E. Potter, for the defense, will turn his guns on David R. Joslyn, as sist int attorney for the prosscntlun. Potter planned to tell the jury that Joslyn has been unethical in tho prosecution of Orpet. He will brand Joslyn's attempt to get a confession from Orpet through Celeste Toukers, the rirl who has stood by the Uni versity of Wisconsin youth since ho was arrested five months ago today, charged with the murder of Marion Lambert, as contrary to all rules of fair dealing. James H. Wilkerson. chief counffl for Orpet, will follow Potter, making tne t it sing argument for the defensy. Joslyn, for the prosecution, will 101 low Wilkerson. Whether the state will ask the death penalty or a prison sentence for Orpet was still unknown today. Dady has intimated he would be satisfied if the college youth is given a fourteen year sentence in prison. The case is expected to go to the Jury Friday, eight weeks after the jurors were sworn in. When court adjourned last night the justice hall was filled with black and frowning faces. The scowls that the hearers bore away were eloquent testi monials to the effect of Dady's pound ing attack. The hours he had employed in ham mering away had not been spent in vain. For the time being, at least, Orpet was- the girl's murderer. Crowd Was Convinced. For the first time since the case be gan, there was unanimity in this opin ion. You heard it expressed every where with varying degrees of convic tion. "She couldn't have killed herself She wouldn't have done that. She had turned over a new leaf. She was going to be a good girl as good as gold." Dady had harped on that phrase until he had pounded it into the wearied brains of his hearers. It was a phrase drawn from one of Orpet's letters to Marion. She. had written him that she was going to be "as good as gold after this." And he had re plied. "Forget it." Dady had picked the phrase out of the letter and held It dansrlinc: before the jurors. "She wanted to be as good as gold,":'' ne snouted, "ana ne wouldn t letter She wanted to be as good as gold and he killed her. She did not want to die; she wanted to live and be. of some use in the world; she wanted to be of help to others; she wanted to be as good as gold and he murdered her with that wish warming her young heart." Today it was Potter's duty to change all this. It -was his task to change the cold and calculating fiend of Dady's harsh and tragic story into a poor, scared boy doing the best he could to patch up the wrong that he had done before even when he was at his wits end. He had to tell the story all over again from the beginning, creating a new series of impressions with each chapter. In the first place, he had to belittle the love affair between the boy and girl. He had to say the relations be tween them were far from extraordi nary. He even had to intimate that the boy probably pursued the girl no more man tne girl had pursued the boy. He had to go carefully through thisi for the girl is dead and the liv ing boy must bear the brunt of that summer sinning. Plan of Defense. And then he had to go on with the story, indicating this point and that as proof that the girl killed herself; that the boy did not kill her, could not have killed her, did not wish her dead. Where yesterday Dady arrayed every fact of the evidence in support of the murder theory, today Potter had to show that Marion s death could only be suicide. The state began its summing up with the nrst letter that Orpet wrote the girL The defense expected to be gin beneath the "Three Trees" in Helms woods with the girl's dead body lying there. There the defense will tind its HTst proof that death was due to suicide and not to murder.

Julv 1 A nrn..i i that an army quartermaster depot be established in each congressional dis trict to hasten equipment of national guurd troops called into federal serv ice in an emergency probablv will i grow out of the mobilization of state i iorces ror auty on the Mexican bor I der. Delay in supplying the men with clothing and camp equipment, said Brig. Gen. Henry G. Sharpe, acting 1 head of the quartermaster corps, to j day, is due to the present depot sys tem and not to a shortage. General Sharpe has sought for years to have an extensive depot warehouse system established. It is now nc.ves- sary to obtain supplies from Philadel- phia, fat. Louis or San Francisco. With separate warehouses, in each congres sional districts it would only take a 1 tew hours to get supplies to the troops.

Rs. print about so ciety people, and especially the brides. There is an Indiana paper that got tired of being called a liar and mush peddler, and one day determined to tell the truth absolutely. A wedding no tice for that day was as follows: "Married Miss Sylvan Rhoades and James Conlin at the Baptist parson age. The bride is a very ordinar-y town girl who doesn't know any more about cooking than a jack rabbit, and never helped her mother three days in her life. She is not a beauty by any means and has a gait like a duck. The groom is an up-to-day loafer. He has been living off tne old folks at home all his life, and Is not worth shucks. It will be a hard life." The members of the Epworth league of the First German M. E. church will give their annual Ice cream party Wednesday night, July 19.

Fidelity fc Deposit Company of Maryland, Appellee, vs. Callahan Brothers, Incorporated, Appel lant. Appeal from Wyandotte County. (Division 1.) AFI'lttMKl). Syllabus. Py the Court. Porter, J. 1. A surety bond for the faithful per formance of a contract with a drainage dis trict, under the uro visions of section 30JtL Gen. Stat. 1000, was furnished by a casualty company under a contract by which the principal agreed to pay an annual premium each year in advance. The contract re- quired three years for its completion. The principal refused to pay the premium for the third year on the tr round that he had made an arrangement with the board of directors of the drainage district, by which the board canceled the bond and released the surety; HELD, that the attempted re lease and cancellation of the bond furnished no defense to the action to recover the stipulated premium, because, a. The contract right of the surety to collect the premium could not be affected by an agreement between the board uud the contractor to which the surety was not a party. b. As the statute required the board to exact the bond but conferred no power upon it to cancel the same or release the surety before the completion of the con tract, the attempted cancellation and re lease was void. 2. There being no uncertainty or am biguity in the contract for the payment of the nremium. evidence of usaice or custom of other surety companies in such mutters was properly excluded.

Porter, J. 1. In an action to recover upon a ben eficiary certificate the defense was that the Insured made false and fraudulent representations In his answers to ques tions asked by defendant's medical exam iner In which deceased stated that he had not consulted or been treated by any physician or surgeon during the previous five years for any illness, disease or in jury, and had never undergone any sur gical operation. Within a year previous he had been circumcised by a physician, who on later occasions dressed the "wound, ami who testified that. In his opinion. the Insured man was in perfect health at the time, and that the circumcision was performed for sanitary purposes. There was proof that the death of the insured resulted from a disease which had no re lation to the circumcision, and physicians and surgeons testified that they did not regard circumcision as an operation. De fendant's medical examiner testified that If he hail been informed of the fact he might not have considered it serious enough to mention In the application. Upon these facts and others stated in the optnton the finding of the trial court that defendant failed to show the inten tional sunpresslnn of any fact or circum stance which deceased naturally supposed would tend to influence defendant in passing upon his application, and that Clalntlff Is entitled to recover, will not e disturbed. 2. It will not do to place an absolutely literal Interpretation on the provisions In an application nud policy of life in surance with respect to untruthful an swers. There must not be evasion, fraud or suppression of facts there must be absolute good faith In the conduct of the applicant but where the evidence shows there has been no evasion, no purpose to conceal any fact which the applicant would naturally snppose was contemplat ed by the questions, and where the com- Cany Issuing the policy could not have een prejudiced by the answers, and the death of the insured resulted from causes wholly unrelated to the matter about which the alleged untruthful answers were given, a defense based upon their un truth cannot avail.

By the 4'ourt. Porter, J. "l. In an action upon a beneficiary 'cer tificate containing a clause fhat tbe certifi cate should be void In case of Insured's death by "suicide, sane or Insane." the un disputed facts showed that deceased lmt himself through the head with n pistol, al most Immediately after having declared his intention to kill himself, and that his death was the result of the pistol shot. Held, an Instruction that If the jury be- IjEGAIj. lieved from the evidence that the mental faculties of the deceased "were so ob scured and deranged that lie did not un derstand that the firing of said shot was likely to, or would result in his death, his act was in the nature of an accident, and the plaintiff would be entitled to re cover notwithstanding the provisions of the certificate, is erroneous. a. Because It excludes all consideration of the intention with which the act was committed, and Includes within the defi nition of "accident," an act of self-destruction, which if committed by a aane person with intent to take his life, would be suicide. b. Because there was no evidence upon which the instruction could be based. 2.. It is held that the finding of the jury that the pistol was discharged ac cidentally and unintentionally, is contrary to the unaisputeu xacis suuw u uj evidence. 3. In this case it Is held tnat ns mu nnintaiflbahla Avtrlnalt evidence Of U- fOfi.H'i intent inn to tnke his OWD life ftlld the other known fac, are inconsisu-m with th thporv of accidental death, or that deceased did not understand the nat ii rnl ncnlr nf his acts, thtt case 1 COn trolled by the decision in Hart vs. Modern Woodmen, 00 Kan.

An oil and gas lease for a term of one year and as long thereafter as gas aud oil might be found In paying quan tities contained a clause: "Second party agres to commence well on the above described premises within 90 days from the date heieof, and in case of failure to do so this lease Bhall become null and void and without any further effect whatever, unless the Lessee shall pay for the delay at the rate of One Dollar per acre per annum thereafter until a well shall be commenced." No well was com menced within the time agreed but tha lessor did not assert her right of for feiture for nearly three months thereafter, at which time she made a second lease to other parties in which It was stipulated that the lessees should be "responsible for all action that may be brought from for mer lease." Held, that the failure of lessor to assert her right of forfeiture promptly and unequivocally on the first default waived that right, and the first lease was not void for uncertainty as to the tima when rent should be paid If the well wni not commenced in 90 days, and payment of rent at any reasonable time on de mand would be sufficient to avoid the for feiture, following Smith vs. Steele, 90 Kan. 100. 150 Pac. 519. 3. In such a lease, time of payment Of rent is not of the essence of the contract and payment at any reasonable time or upon reasonable demand would be suffi cient to avoid forfeiture. (Smith va, Steele. 96 Kan. 106, 150 Pac. 610.) 4. Evidence of the lessor as to an oral agreement made at the time the written lease was executed that she was to get rent in 90 days if the well was not com menced Is not sufficient to support an ad judication of forfeiture when the lessee during the first year and definitely fixed term of the lease imt down a well pro ducing two million feet of gas per day and when he lessor's rights can otherwise be adequately protected.

Syllabus. By the Court. Porter, J. 1. The rule that a payment of a lesser sum accepted with tbe understanding that it shall be in full discharge of the entire debt will not bar an action to recover the balance unless made upon a new and dis tinct consideration, rests rather upon tech nical considerations than upon reason, and the strict adherence to it has often resulted in preventing justice and the enforcement of the real intent of the parties. The mod ern tendency of the courts has been to enlarge the exceptions to the rule in order to avoid its harshness and in order to carry into effect settlements, adjustments and compromises. 2. While the agreement that a smaller sum shall be accepted in discharge of a larger sum due must be consummated by a meeting of the minds of the parties, (Harrison v. Henderson, 67 Kan. 194, 72 Pac. 875), It is sufficient if the smaller sum has been offered and accepted with the understanding that It Is in full satis faction of the debt, provided tbe agreement is accompanied by a sufficient considera tion. 3. Where it is shown that the minds of the parties, whether acting by themselves as principals, or through others as agents, have met and agreed upon the proposition that the receipt of the lesser sum shall extinguish all right on the part of the creditor to exact further payment, any possible or probable benefit to the one, or loss or Inconvenience to the other, will be held to constitute a consideration for the new agreement. 4. A debtor may authorize a third per son as his agent to make a satisfaction of his debt, and If what is given by tbe stranger ia accepted in satisfaction by the creditor, who thereupon releases the debt, and the agent's act is authorized or sub sequently ratified by the debtor, there will be a complete accord and satisfaction. 5. A sufficient consideration is shown for an agreement that a payment of a lesser sum shall be in full discharge of the entire debt, where, so far as shown by the evidence or findings, the money actually received by the creditor was ad vanced for the debtor by a third party who acted as his agent. 6. Section 126 of the Negotiable Instru ments Law (Gen. Stat. 1909, par. 5372) which euu me rates the variou s ways iu which negotiable instruments may be dis charged, including (5) "when the principal debtor becomes the holder of the instru ment at or after maturity in his own right," is construed, and the phrase "in his own right" is held to include a case where the maker of a promissory note, past due, authorizes a third person as his agent to purchase the note from the holder thereof, who, in consideration of the payment to him, by such agent, of a sum less than the amount due, assigns and transfers the note and a mortgage securing tbe same to the agent, who, releases the mortgage and transfers the note to tbe maker upon being reimbursed by tbe latter, notwith standing the fact that the holder of the note believes the agent is purchasing the note for himself. 7. Whether the transaction referred to in the preceding paragraph be considered as one in which the maker furnished the money to purchase the note through his agent, or as one in which the agent first purchased the note with his own funds and afterwards, upon being reimbursed by the maker, transferred It to the latter, tbe maker becomes tbe bolder of tbe note after maturity "in his owu right." 8. Upon the findings of fact It ts held there was no showing of fraud in the transaction in which plaintiff, who held an over due note against his brother, was induced to sell and assign the instrument to his brother's agent for a sum less than the amount due thereon.

What became of all the fat-producing, nourish ment It contained You haven't gained in weight one ounce. That food passed from your body like unburned coal through an open grate. The material was there, but your food doesn't work and stick, and the plain truth is you hardly get enough noti rish nient from you r mea Is to pay for the cost of cooking. This is true of thin folks the world over. Your nutritive or gans, your functions of assimilation, are probably sadly out of gear and need re construction. Cut out the foolish foods and funny sawdust diets. Cut out everything but the meals you are eating and eat with every one of those a single Sargol tablet. In two weeks note the difference. Let the scales be the judge. Five to eight ?ood solid pounds of healthy, "stay-there" at may be the r.et result. Sargol aims to charge weak, stagnant blood with mil lions of fresh new red blood corpuscles to give the blood the carrying power to deliver every ounce of fat-making material in your food to every part of your body. Sargol, too, mixes with your food, to pre pare it for the blood In an easily assimi lated form. Thin people tell how they have gained all the way from 10 to 25 pounds a month while taking Sargol and sav that the new flesh stays put. Sargol tablets are a careful combination of lix of the best assimilative elements known to chemistry. They come 40 tablets to a package, are pleasant, harmless and inex pensive, and Arnold Drug Co. and all other good druggists in this vicinity sell them subject to an absolute guarantee or weight increase or money back as found in every large package. Advertisement. Lawrence, Kan., July 12. Figures on the growth of the College at the University of Kansas were submitted by Dean Olin Templin to the board of administration in connection with the annual estimate of the college budget for the coming year. The in crease of 143.6 per cent in the past ten years present numerous problems which are discussed by the dean In his report to the board. On account of the inorease in en rollment, the recommendation is made that an assistant dean be appointed so that the individual needs of the students of the college may receive more attention. Such an arrange ment has been found necessary in many other institutions where simi lar problems to those prevailing at K. U. have been faced. The end of the system in which a single person Is head of a depart ment is foreshadowed by the report Much better results have been gained through the committee system, in which the affairs of a department are administered by a committee of the ffcculty members in that department. It is probable that as vacancies :n the headships of departments occur in the future they will be filled by the substitution of chairmen as provided by the constitution. In order that desirable candidates may be induced to apply for vacan cies that may occur on the hill, and to make the salary schedule at the University of Kansas compare more favorably with other schools, the le pcit suggests a new salary scale as fcliows: Assistant instructors, up to S3 00; irstructors, 1,000 to 1,400; assist ant professors, $1,500 to $1,900; asso ciate professors, $2,000 to $2,400; pro fessor, $2,500 to $3,500. The need of a university commons, where wholesome food could be served at a reasonable cost is emphasized by the dean's report. CAN PREVENT SMtJT IX WHEAT. Experiments Show Efficiency Forma lin Solution. Manhattan, Kan., July 12. That smut in wheat and oats can be pre vented with little expense or trouble is being shown in farm bureau dem onstrations in a number of counties this summer. P. H. Boss, county agent In Leaven worth county, reports that on the farm of W. W. English in High Prairie township is found one of the best demonstrations in control of stinking smut of wheat that has ever been seen. Smutty wheat was planted last fall. Half of it was treated with a formalin solution. Twenty-five per cent of the wheat of the 1916 crop, grown from untreated seed, is affected by smut, while the wheat grown from treated seed shows no trace of it. In another demonstration of the same kind, 37 per cent of the untreat ed wheat was smutted, while no smut was found in wheat from treated seed. Smut demonstrations for the preven tion of smut in oats have been equal ly effective. MANHATTAN SCOUTS IX CAMP. Boys Will Spend Week Ten Miles East of Town. Manhattan, July 12.

A. today in response to a call issued to bring them together. The object of the meeting was to devise -plans for bracing up prohibition and to put some stiffening into the backbone of several officials elected on a prohibition ticket. When a State Journal reporter dropped into the meeting the Shawnee couuty probate court and the drug stores were being ventilated. Dr. J. A. Lippincott stated that there were twen- ty-seven drug stores in Topeka llcensd to sell Hquor and if a line should be drawn 1 north on Kansas avenue on Fifth street and a line drawn east on Fifth street j fifteen of the twen ty-seven d ru g stores will be found there. Again he read meniG- randa taken from records in the probate judge's office. One man had made pur- chases on almost eery day of the month: sometimes he wanted it for a cold and -some days for a fever. The purchases j consisted of four bottles of beer one day, two pints of whisky the next, two bottles of beer the next and so on through the month. This called out a general dentin- ciation of Judge Elliott for granting so j many permits. The ministers finally decided that if 1 nothing could be done with the judge something could be dene in spite of hitu and a meeting of all those interested in i rue situation was caiien ror next Monday evening in the First Baptist church.

He had eard that one of the promi nent features of the World's Fair was to be the beer paradise.

Columbus, July 12. Wheat sold on the local market last week brought from 84 to 90 cents. Most of it went for 88 cents. Now local dealers have announced that the price had jumped to 95 cents. It may go to $1. Considerable wheat was marketed in Columbus last week and if no rain comes, much threshing will be done this week. While no No. 2 wheat has been marketed here this season, it is known that some of this grade has already been threshed and the farm ers are holding it for better prices. Reports show that the wheat around Columbus is yielding all the way from five to twenty bushels per acre. 1 OF YOUR IF TOU ARE NEEDLESSLY BURDENED WITH SUPERFLUOUS FAT, READ THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY.

San Antonio, Tex., July 12. When the Mexican bandits reported march ing toward the Big Bend country reach American territory, if they ever do, they will find the United States army waiting for them. General Funston is concentrating large bodies of cavalry In that district, particularly In the vicinity of Presidio, Tex. Officers of the southern depart ment said that not many men could march to Bouquillap from the direc tion of Corralitos, owing to lack of water, but that about a thousand could find food and water on the road to Ojinaga, opposite Presidio. All available national guard cavalry at El Paso and other border sections are preparing to begin patroling the Rio Grande. They are handicapped by lack of horses, but these are being issued rapidly. A large bandit column was reported early today to be marching toward Bouquillas and Ojinaga, but these cound not be expected to reach the border for three or four days. ATTENDANCE IS HEAVY Topeka.

Alkali Makes Soap Bad For Washing Hair Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkali, which is very injurious, as it dries tne scalp and makes the hair brittle. The best thing to use is just plain mulsified cocoanut oil, for this is pure and entirely greaseless. It's very cheap, and beats the most expensive soaps or anything else all to pieces. You can get this at any drug store, and a few ounces will last the whole family for months. Simply moisten the hair with water and rub it in, about a teaspoonf ul -s. j all that is required. It makes an abundance of rich, creamy lather, cleanses thoroughly, and rinses out easily. The hair dries quickly and 1 evenly, and is soft, fresh looking, bright, fluffy, wavy and easy to has- 1 die. Besides, it loosens and takes out every particle of dust, dirt and dan- I druff. Advertisement. Detroit, July 12. "Co-operation produces power. This power can be used to build up or destroy, individual ly or collectively," said M. B. Nelson of Kansas City, speaking before the World's Salesmanship congress here today. "Some associations misused the power they created, and, as a re sult, the public, not being familiar with the workings of all the associa tions, came to the conclusion that many of all of them were detrimental to the general public interest. But within the last year or two sentiment has been fast changing. The public is finding out that not all associations In Industries are used to its detriment, but that when conducted sanely they are of great benefit not only to the individual interested in the industry but to the people as a whole. We are not created equal in ability in any di rection. There are people in all lines of business who are not capable of conducting their own business success fully. They are constantly destroying what some one else has produced, and, hence, their operations are detrimental to the general interest, and business failures are the final outcome. Co-operation Built on Civilization, "A business failure has the same ef fect as the death of an individual in a community," he continued. "If the individual was a benerit to the world, then the world sustains a loss by rea son of his death. Failure in business is not a benefit to the people as a whole because those interested in the industry are not the only ones who suffer as a result the general public comes in for its share. Civilization is built on co-operation, and unless we co-operate with one another it would be impossible to carry on the world's affairs today. "Through out trade organizations," Mr. Nelson said, "it is possible to gather in and disseminate knowledge and information regarding our busi ness which could not be secured and distributed otherwise, and put Into ef fect many economical methods, thus benefiting the people as a whole. "While through co-operation we cannot make all people equal, we can make them stronger, and prevent many business failures. Think what an ideal country we would have if there were no business failures. Through association work we can re duce bank failures to a minimum. Lumber Industry Selfish. "The salesmen have a greater op portunity to advance this movement than anyone else because they are constantly calling on the trade, the buyer and consumer." In conclusion, Mr. Nelson said: "The lumber industry is second in rank in the United States. With the proper energy put forth by the salesmen co operating with the retail lumbermen they should be able to nnd thousands of new uses for lumber and this in formation should be distributed through the proper channels, so that when knowledge or information is gained by some retailer in any part of the country it will be placed before every lumberman in the United States, thus enabling the entire in dustry to profit. I do not believe the industry as a considered as eriously as it should the giving to the consumer his wunn. We have given too much consideration to get ting all we could for our lumber with out giving enough consideration to the consumer. We cannot do this so long as we are ignorant of what our lum ber is good for, and we cannot expect the retailer, or anybody else who is not interested in our stumpage, to fig ure this out for us."
