Declaring that the United States government was better prepared now than ever before to operate the railroads of the coun try. J- J- Kecgan, commissioner of the department of labor, predicted the government would take over the roads should the four great railroad broth erhoods call a strike of their mem bers. Keegan said that once the gov ernment took charge of the roads the men would go to work immediately He based this assertion on the fact that the government had long since recognized the eight-hour day, one of the bones of contention in the present controversy. Would Act in 24 Hours. He would not say that plans had been formulated to take over the roads. However, he expressed the opinion that this step could not he avoided :n the event the men left their work. "But I cannot conceive that either the railroads or the brotherhoods will let a break occur," he said. "A com promise seems more than probable. However, shoi'ld the break occur and nearly a half million men leave their work, paralyzing transportation and thieatening starvation of the nation, the government would act in 24 hours. "It could do nothing else. F.very railroad in the country would be seized, and once the roads pass into the control of the government they woulri never again be returned to their former private owrship." TODAY WAS HOTJNOUGH, TOO At 3 O'clock Today First Rain in 20 Days. The Mercury Falls 21 Degrees in One Hour. A cloudy sky saved Sunday's rec ord from being broken today. Also about 2 o'clock the wind whipped up to about 6 miles an hour. But; at that, the mercury Jiggled back and forth in the tube between 90 and 93 degrees, making the heat but little more bearable. At 2 o'clock the mercury registered 93. The high est temperature Sunday was 99, the highest for two years. Beginning at 1 o'clock this after noon thunder showers appeared In several directions around Topeka. As a result the thermometer took a wel come tumble. At 2:30 o'clock a shower originat ing in the southeast and swinging to the east threw a spray of cool air over the city and sent the mercury down below the 90 mark 89 to be exact. A thundershower swept over the business section and east part of To peka this afternoon. The rainfall was .14 of an inch. The downpour was heavy. Between 2 o'clock and 3:05 o'clock the temperature fell from 93 to 72 a drop of 21 degrees. Topekans were agreeably sur prised shortly before 3 o'clock this afternoon by black clouds sweeping over the city, in a promise of show ers. Rain began to fall at 2:50 o'clock. This afternoon S. D. Flora, fore caster, said there might be scattered showers over the state this afternoon and tonight, but said they ..would, not-fc-i be heavy enough to amount to any thing. The temperature today was 6 de grees above normal. Intermittent local showers fell shortly after noon today south and southeast of Topeka within a radius of twenty-five miles, according to reports received in Santa Fe offices. The hourly temperature readings today were: I 7 o'clock 8 o'clock 9 o'clock 10 o'clock .80 I 11 o'clock 93 .85 1 12 o'clock 92 ..921 1 o'clock .93 ..90 1 2 o'clock 93 2:30 o'clock.. .89 3 o'clock 85 j 8:05 o'clock. .72 3:30 o'clock. .76 j ne lorecast is not encouraging, is for generally fair weather and con- tinued warm tonight and Tuesday. There had been no rain, other than unmeasurable local showers, in To- j peka for twenty days. I Today's weather might be better or t it might be worse as it has been in the past. July i7, 1887, the temperature j was 104. The lowest record was in 1900, when it was 68. Topeka, city of sweltering night, I awakened this morning, mopped its brow, figuratively speaking, of course, and settled down to the uncomfortable task of watching the mercury start racing toward the top of the tube. It was the hottest night In two years. There was no breeze, other than a clammy one stirring at a rate of be tween 3 and 4 miles an hour. The 1 lowest temperature was 76 at 6 o'clock this morning. Last midnight, Rudyard Kipling's vivid description of a sweltering city in the Orient could have been applied to Topeka without alteration. Only a few people slept in the house only those with uncanny optimistical minds j and sleeping porches to be exact. nunareds slept on lawns and in back yards.

Flood waters which Bwept parts of North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, Tennessee and West Virginia yesterday taking a toll of at least nine lives, rendering hundreds of persons homeless and do ing property damage variously esti mated at from 110,000,000 to $15, 000,000 were receding today. The worst conditions obtained in western North Carolina, where the flood was described as the most dis astrous in the history of that section. Asheville and its environs were the heaviest sufferers but with train serv ice at a standstill as the result of washouts, slides and lost bridges 'tele graph service badly crippled and roads almost Impassable, it probably will be several days before the full extent of death and destruction will be deter mined. Lower Asheville still is flooded to day by the high waters of the French Broad river which went over its banks sweeping away mills and other manu facturing plants and a number ot homes. Two deaths were reported in the city proper while another death occurred at the town of Biltmore to the east and two score persons, in cluding members of a railway con struction gang who went down with a bridge were listed as missing. Mills and Factories Hard Hit. Between Asheville and Salisbury railroad bridges were washed out on the Catawba river and further south along the same river railroad and highway bridges were carried away and tracks were placed under water. Saw mills and other property as well as livestock suffered throughout this section. Similar conditions obtained on the Yadkin river around Lexington. N.

In the Piedmont section of North Carolina crops suffered great damage (ConOnieairPaTTw" "LET IT BREAK" Mayor Expresses Himself About the Light Plant. Believes Current Can Be Bought From Edison Cheaper. Denial that there Is any combina tion of commissioners to boot the re quest of Frank Newland, water and light commissioner, for a new turbo generator in the city light plant out of the 1917 budget was made today by Mayor J. E. House. Tfiat was not all. The mayor asserted if Newland could show the generator is needed as badly as he says it is, he will get it. However, the mayor expressed doubt that the dynamo is needed any more this year than it was last. "We killed the item for the machine last year," said the mayor, "because we could get along without it, and a cut had to be made somewhere to get the general revenue fund inside the amount allowed by law. We will, if Mr. Newland puts in his request for the generator, investigate his claims before acting. "We are not going to cripple any department: it would be a reflection on all the commissioners as well as the head of the department. "I believe if the plant breaks down we can connect up with the Edison company in a half hour and get cur rent cheaper than we can make it." Newland has prepared a supplement to his budget wherein he asks $17, 000 for the generator. He is negotiat ing with the other commissioners be fore turning it in to Commissioner Wasson. The city of Topeka, after its fight for the preservation of the municipal plant which has saved the city thou sands of dollars, is not going to aban don its successful enterprise and go to buying electricity. The State Journal dislikes to see so sensible a man as the mayor take the position of "Let It Break." No busi ness man conducting a factory, no cor poration, unless it be a city, would think of adopting such a policy. It is the business of the city of To peka to keep up Its machinery. Thou sands of candlo power have been addsd in white way lamps. Including the state house, and the new street lamps since last year and new ma chinery must be added, just as it must be added to a newspaper plant to take care of new business. Let the com mission live up fully to its promise to be business-like. Editor Stato Journal." Lawyer Bids S60.000 for Newspaper. Peoria, 111., July 17.

He will not directly associate the Iowa paper with other publications under his management and control. "I am merely interested with Sioux City parties in the purchase of the News," said Governor Capper, "and did not buy the paper outright.

Central Powers Marshal Every Available Force. QUARTER MILLION, SLAV LOSS Berlin Reports Drive Cost Rus sia 362,900 Men. Efforts of Cear to Float Loan Failed, Say Germans. BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS. Petrograd, July 17. Profoundly im pressed by the steady Russian ad vance, which see-saws first at this point and then at that, the Germans are massing enormous forces before Kovel. They are bringing up every available reserve in the hope of stall ing the new Russian mowing machine. The present comparative calm is deemed here to be a mere prelude to a resumption of heavy and important fighting. The fall of Kovel now Would be a staggering blow to the central pow ers, completely disrupting their plans. Lemberg would be menaced more than ever, the road to the great fortress of Brest Litavsk opened, and the rear of the entire Pinsk region threatened, necessitating the Germans withdraw ing. Plenty or Ammunition. The Russians apparently do not lack ammunition. Printed on the cartridge cases are tne phrases: "Don't spare bullets don't spare courage. There's enough a plenty for all." Cossacks from the Don; Urals, fresh young giants from Siberia and else where, are fighting like game cocks, striving to outdo each other in dare devil charges. The issue with the Germans is now personal owing to the Germans use of liquid fire and gas. Consequently few German prisoners are taken in proportion to-the num ber of dead on the field. Russian officers appear satisfied not only with the situation on the Rus ssion front but with the spirit of the troops which they declare was never higner. Loss Includes 14,900 Officers. Berlin. July 17. According to of ficial reports from Petrograd, says the Overseas News agency, "in the period between the beginning of the Russian offensive and July 1 the number of killed reached 14.900 officers and 248, 000 men. Included among the officers were seventeen generals and twenty- nine commanders. "Advices from Stockholm -say the Russian finance minister. having railed to obtain a loan from England and France, undertook negotiations with bankers in the united States, which also failed. England declared that the cost of the war to herself had reached such a point that it has be come impossible to assist her allies. "The Russian newspaper Rech, com menting on this situation, most vio lently insults Americans for their "egotism," saying that at last. The mask of sympathy for the allies has been torn from their faces. STROUD MAKES APPEAL Leavenworth Prisoner, Condemned to Die, Asks President to Save Life. Washington, July 1 7. Robert Stroud, sentenced to be hanged Fri day at Leavenworth, Kan., today ap pealed to President Wilson for clem ency. Stroud's action may save his life which he apparently has not hereto fore cared for and at the same time save Kansas from having a hanging on her soil. Kansas has not had an execution in many years but the fed eral government proposes to execute Stroud for killing one of the guards at the Leavenworth prison. Governor Capper and many civil or ganizations besought the president to pardon the man but the justice de partment held there could be no clem ency undess Stroud himself appealed. ITntil today he wa unwillin? to do so. THIRTY MILLION A DAY Chancellor of Exchequer Reports on Great Britain's War Kxpensc. London. July 17.

Reports that he went ir. the direction of River Forest, where Miss Celestia Youker resides, and that he saw the girl during the day, could i not be verified last night Doctors Were Called Out on Scores of "Cases" Sunday. JUST UTTLE SUMMER TROUBLE No Cause for Calls In Majority of Day's Alarms. So Infantile Disease Yet Re ported In This City. In fear and dread lest their owa babies be seized with Infantile paraly sis, hundreds of Topeka mothers are spending sleepless nights. And To peka doctors are the victims of the gnawing fear that causes anxious mothers to look in baby's eyes, study symptoms from a reading of the daily press dispatches and rush frantically to a telephone and call the doctor. Following faithful vigils through the long hours of a hot summer night, many Topeka mothers have suddenly been seized with the conviction that baby has been grasped by the disease that is Just now causing natlon-wids concern. Almost every physician in Topeka has answered from a half dozen to a half hundred calls to deter mine whether infantile paralysis had really reached out to claim a baby life. And always the doctor has re turned to his office or his home after his record dash and waited for the next call he knew would come. Power of Suggestion. Maybe the heat has combined with the power of suggestion in news stories and has caused a season of gen eral unrest in all homes where baby has been feverish or colicky or fretful. In any event baby's diet and surround ings are watched by hundreds of in tensely nervous and anxious Topeka mothers mothers who watch the flies from baby's crib as they read bulletins from the board of health and sugges tions from specialists. Then as they read, suddenly some action on baby's part drives home to mother the con viction that Infantile paralysis had entered the home.

In an effort to do all that is possi ble to prevent the spread of infantile paralysis in Kansas, the state board of health, through Dr. 8. J. Crumbine, secretary, today issued the following resolution to be passed by county boards of health: "An appalling epidemic Is sweeping New York City and adjacent territory and slowly spreading along the chan nels of transportation of other cities and states. It behooves Kansas to mobilize her resources of defense to stay the epidemic should it reach her borders. "The state board of health, co-operating with the school of medicine of the University of Kansas, is prepared to use her experts in the service of the state should the disease appear in epidemic form. But what is most de sired is to take such steps as may, in a measure, prevent the disease from spreading. Therefore, the state board of health urgently requests that each county board of health pass and en force the following resolution: "Whereas, it has been shown that human discharges may contain the organisms that produce epidemic pol iomyelitis (infantily paralysis) and "Whereas, human fecal matter and urine may contain the organisms that produce typhoid fever and other in testinal diseases, and "Whereas, the outside toilet that is open to the house-fly furnishes the necessary link between this dangerous human filth and the food and drink that may be polluted by flies, and thus spread these diseases, "Therefore, be it resolved by the county board of health, that all outside toilets shall be, and are hereby ordered to be, made fly-proof immediately, and that all breeding places for flies, such as accumulations of stable manure and decaying vege tation, be scattered upon the fields, burned or buried. "Be it further resolved, that our county health officer be and he is hereby Instructed to see that this or der is enforced, and that all outside toilets be flyproofed and nut in a ian. itary condition on ir before August 1, 101O.

Prohibi tionist won't fuse with the Progres sives 1n the latter' s post-season series at Chicago, August 6. Eugene W. Chafin. the Bryan of the Prohibition party, said today. Chafin, who was Prohibition presi dential candidate in 1908 and 1912. 'arrived from Tucson, Ariz., today. He drow room 711 at a local hotel, with out smiling, launched an attack upon Virgil G. Hlnshaw for carrying cm several weeks' correspondence witn John M. Parker looking forward to a Progressive-Prohibition amalgama tion, and then announced he -would support Hlnshaw if nominated. How ever, Chafin brought to town a Sulzer boom and a" pretty daughter. The boom Is to nominate William Sulzer of New York. The daughter is a delegate from Arizona who could not vote last election because she was too young. Scrap to Break Tomorrow. Hlnshaw and Chafin are due for a clash tomorrow when tho project of changing the name of the party is plated for a pre-convention session. Hinshaw's supporters are reminding each other that in the 1912 convention i; E. Pitts, New York delegate, sug gested the name be changed to "Pro gressive." Other factions favor the names "American party" and "Na tional party," with platforms modified ton issues other than suffrage and pro hibition.

South Dakota's delegation la In structed for Calderwood for vice presi dent. He, too, has a strong old guara following, who would perhaps like to listen to him, if it wasn't for that per sistent unconfirmed report that Ford promised $50,000 to a campaign fund if nominated. Presidential timber today narrowed down to Ford, ex-Governor Foss, Wil liam Sulzer, J. F. Hanly, Indiana, and S. W. Haynes, Indiana.

VILLA DEAD AGAIN War Department Has Report on Mexican Bandit. Means Troops Out of Mexico in 90 Bays, Is Claim. Washington,. July 17. Villa Is dead. General Pershing's troops will be out of Mexico within a month and the national guard back home within xnree monins, h, iu$ii w iwiuueui official said today. Villa's name is being used by minor leaders to inspire fear among Carrart zaistas, the official declared. He saltf Carranza was stronger today in Mex ico than he ever had been, principally because he had averted war with the United States "without loss of dignity by Mexico." Army men in touch with border and Mexican conditions today said there is no chance of further trouble with Mexico, either by a repetition of the Parral and Carrizal incidents or Dy bandit raids. Army men since the Carrizal inci dent was cleared up and the last note received, say the war department has taken the view that the Mexican trou ble is over. Pershing's moving his base north helped immensely, it way declared. New recommendations have come and threatened further short ening of the line. We expect Pershing to be out ot Mexico in a month or so," said a war department official today. "In three months the national guard will prob ably be back home. The Carranza government was never stronger than it is now. Sentiment has crystallized behind Carranza since the recent trouble. This is because without loss of dignity to Mexico he staved off war with the United States. Villa him self could not hurt him for that rea son. And Villa, according to our re ports, is dead. We believe his name is being used by leaders to embarrass Carranza and to Inspire fear In the Mexican people. We think he is dead and his cause buried with him.". KAISER AT SOMME aaa A.

Predicts Law Will Be Financial Boost for Farmer. Washington, July 17. President Wilson today signed the rural credits bill passed recently by congress. A group of senators, representatives and officers of farmers' organizations ap plauded warmly a- Mr. Wilson affixed his signature. Just before signing the measure, which creates a system of twelve land loan banks under direction of a federal board, the president made a short ad dress, pointing out the benefits he be lieved both farmers and the investing rnmmimitv would enjoy under its operation. In signing tne om, saia mo inci dent, "I have not only a feeling of profound satisfaction but of real grat itude that we have completed thiB piece of legislation, which I hope will be Immediately beneficial to the farm ers of the country. "The farmers, it seems to me, have occupied hitherto a singular position of disadvantage. They have not had the same freedom to get credit on their real estate that others have had who. were In manufacturing and com mercial enterprises and while they have sustained our life they did not in the same degree witn oiners snare m the benefits of that life. Farmer on New Financial Basis. "Therefore this bill along with the very liberal provisions of the federal reserve act puts them upon an equality with all others who have genuine as sets and makes the great credit of tho country available to them. One can not but feel that this is delayed jus tice to them. I look forward to the benefits of this bill, not with extrava gant expectations, but with confident expectation that it will be of very wide reaching benefits, and, incidentally, it will be of advantage to the investing community, for I can imagine no more satisfactory and .solid invest ments than this system will afford those who have money to use." The president used two pens in signing the bill, and gave one of them to Senator Fletcher of Florida, who asked permission to present It to the Southern Commercial congress. In addition to the number of mem bers of the house and senate the sign ing was witnessed by David Lubln, one of the originators of the bill and representatives of the national grange, the Farmers Educational Co-operative union, the Farmers Society of Equity, the Ancient Order of Gleaners, the Farmers National congress and the Nattonal Council of Farmers Co-operative association. 4 '"Seereta.rv McAdoo conferred with the Trjesidert later on the selection of members of the new farm loan board who will, be appointed in the near future, t Among those understood to be un der consideration for membership on the board are: Herbert Quick, W.

It is understood the president has practically decided on two men, C. B. Kegley of Washington and John Lee Coulter, dean of the West Virginia Agricultural college, both Republicans. The choice of a member who is a practical farmer lies between S. J. H. Von Enkeleken of Florida and Leon ard B. Clore, La Porte, Ind. Clore's selection has been left In doubt be cause of the failure of Indiana's con gressmen to present a united endorse ment of him, but it is understood In diana Democrats today agreed to drop differences and support Clore. The chairman of the board Is to be an eastern man, a Democrat who has a banker's knowledge of farm mort gages. CHANCELLOR WINS German Sentiment Rallies to War Minister's Support. Unrestricted Submarining, Op posed by U. S, Losing Out. BY CAIUj W. ACKERMAN. Berlin, July 17. Leading German newspapers are now rallying to the support of Chancellor Von Bethmann Hollweg who has been under attack by ine auvocaie oi unrestricted submarin ing. They deny that the chancellor's peace discussions have weakened the position of Germany and reassert their confidence in the defeat of the pres ent ainea oxiensive. The Lokal Anzelger commenting upon the foreign press interpretation of the chancellor's opposition to an nexation of Belgium declared today: It Is absolutely grotesque to con sider the chancellor's position as indi cating a rear or tne military success. Every judicious-minded German has strengthened his confidence in the outcome of the allied offensive." Await Outcome of British Drive. The Cologne Gazette and other leading journals are outspoken in their faith in von Bethmann-Hollweg. They declare wouia be an insane move to "swap horses in the middle of the stream." F-r the most part, prominent Ger mans are not discussing pea.ee at this time, preferring to await the- outcome of the allied offensive. All the critics believe the British will be unable to recover from their early failures to make great headway, though it is realize that the fighting is not over. The Cologne Gazette points out, for instance, that the British have huge reserves in Flanders enabling them to attack continuously with fresh troops. Major Morhat, referring to the oper ations at Verdun, declares that the Germans will continue to follow their present policy of defense by attacks. STORM Oil EAST COAST (Continued from Page One.) highway bridges were washed away and railroad service was badly inter rupted. The Southern Power com pany's plant, near Spartanburg, was flooded; tying- up Interurban lines." From Georgetown, S. C came re-, ports of damage to water front prop erty and stores. The Seaboard Air line tracks washed out by the flood were about repaired and train service was being resumed. Buildings Carried Away. In southwest Virginia flood waters carried away bridges and tracks, tying. up traffic on the Bluefield and Bristol division of the Norfolk and Western, but workmen were busy today making repairs. The Virginian railway also suffered in that section, as did the Virginian and Southern arcund Bris tol, Va, Besides .the damage to railroads in southwest Virginia, many buildings were washed away. Including some at Radford, and one man was drowned while ferrying across the river at that place.

Vanderbllts Are Heroines. Ashevllle, N. C. July 17. Floods that devastated Biltmore, on tho van derbilt estate, have left 500 persons homeless and have enrolled Mrs. George Var.derbilt and her daughter, Cornelia, among the heroines in this section.

Ten million dollars of property de stroyed, five persons known dead. hundreds injured and missing, rail road traffic and telephone and tele graph communication demoralized, is the toll of the floods sweeping the Carollnas and Virginias, known to date. Meager, disjointed details are drifting into Washington over the crippled lines of communication. The floods are the result of the hurricane of wind and rain which struck the south Atlantic coast Thursday, lifting rivers and streams far over their banks. Drowned Trying to Get Food, Asheville, N. C, the famous resort city, is hard hit. The French river has broken its course near there, flooding factories and homes in the lower part of the city. Two persons were drowned attempting to put food into the upper stories of the Glenn Rock hotel. Many s.re marooned in their residences along the river, while rescue parties fight against the rush ing current to rescue them.

FEAR PARALYSIS (Continued from Page One.) mechanical sort of way sort of try- ng to wake up and bury the nasty thought that he wished he .were a plumber or a blacksmith. They AU See Symptoms. Please doctor." It was a mother's pleading voice at the other end of the wire. And it was a real telephone conversation, too. "Please can't you come see baby? What's that? Yes. He s sick. Oh, won t you come right away? Please. What's the matter with him? Oh, I don't know. He has the symptoms of infantile paral ysis symptoms just like the papers and the board of health tell about. I am just worried to death. Pleaso hurry, won t you And a mother went back to a crib to study thoce symptoms all- over again. She tried to croon a little to a feverish, nervous, fretful child. Put the tears wouldn't slay back and she took the child in her arms and rocked it. Then the doctor came. -RenMv h naa aressea verv fast. He had falrlv broken the speed limits across town.

Oh, yea Yes. indeed. iie s ail ngnt. uon t worry." Outside the doctor said a few harsh words under his breath. He drove home slowly and he meditated at length as to the worries of the flesh. But after all. Suppose he hadn't hur ried? Suppose the mother's fear had been Justified one Topeka doctor today stated that he answered four calls during the heated hours Sunday. In every case a mother just knew her baby was in the grasp of infantile paralysis. Other physicians answered from one to a half dozen cases. The same record has been maintained since the reports were sent from New York stating that hundreds of children were dying. And those stories have sent a fear to the hearts of Topeka mothers, that is caus ing unrest and sleepless nights during the hottest season Topeka nas seen in several years.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL MONDAY EVENING, JULY 17. 1916 3 FUNSTON WANTS MEDICAL CORPS j FOR EMERGENCY! Model Hospital Train To Sent From Washington. Be j 8300,000 Asked to Guard thcj Health of Troops. i BANDIT BANDS INCREASE! Big Bend Raiders Are a 3Ienace to the U. S. Side. 250 "ew Machine Guns Arrive at San Antonio. San Antonio, Tex., July 17. General Funston stated today that all informa tion coming to him indicated a rapid Increase in the number of bandits in the region below the Big Bend coun try and unusual activity on their part. General Pershing has wired to Gen eral Funston that officers of the de facto government had informed him they had recaptured seventeen of their 3lliers from Villistas and that each of these men had his right ear cut off. Pershing did not state in what district these Villistas were operating. Recently the Carranzistas claimed Villa's followers were cutting off the left ears of men who refused to Join their ranks. Funston has asked the war depart ment to ask for an emergency medical corps appropriation of $300,000 to cover any emergency work that may be necessary to safeguard the health of the men in service on the border. Model Hospital Train. The war department has notified General Funston that a model hospital train of 13 coaches will leave Wash ington July 21, arriving here July 23. It will be elaborately equipped for campaign service. Immediately it will be used to transport sick men from sub-base hospitals along the border to the base hospital here. A smaller but similar train will ply between the encampment towns In the Brownsville district and the sub-base hospital at Brownsville. The train coming from Washington will accommodate two hundred pa tients. It will be thoroughly equipped with cots, operating rooms, dispensary and every modern convenience, and will be accompanied by medical corps specialists in wounds and diseases. General Funston says of the bandits githering below the Big Bend coun try that the location of one consider able band well below OJinaga is fairly definitely established. Many smaller bands scattered along the Mexican pide. back from the river, are reported by Mexicans. They are committing small depredations everywhere and living off the country which now af fords but a precarious existence for its peaceful population. General Fun Kton does not hesitate to say that these bandits are a distinct menace to the American side, and Colonel Gas ton, commanding at Marfa, is exer cijHnp the greatest vigilance against possible raiders. Oct New Machine Guns. The Third Wisconsin infantry, with 1.130 men, has arrived, completing the Wisconsin brigade at Fort Sam Hous ton. This regiment, the last scheduled to locate here, increases the number of soldiers now here to more than 14.000. Two hundred and fifty of the new I.ewlp machine guns arrived at th arsenal here with 600.000 ammunition. These guns rounds oi are 10 oe I i carried on small automobile trucks in- FtPiid of on mules Koliert Bacon, former secretary of Mate, and Richard P. Strong of Bos ton, returned from Brownsville and have left for El Paso. They refused to discuss conditions In the national fiuard camps. Mr. Bacon said the re port ent out from New York that he had heen given a commission as tec ond lieutenant in a New York regiment was totally unfounded.

Further reports of looting by bandits were brought from Villa Co rona, in Durango. today by a Swedish subject named Wallender, who stated the corn harvest belonging to Ameri cans and other foreigners in that vi cinity had been commandeered by raiders. The extensive silver mines near Villa Corona have been deserted by foreigners and looting of the un protected company stores is antici pated. The cruiser Denver, recently dis patched to San Bias, state of Tepic, to locate the disabled American pow er boat. Panama, has reported that the Mexican authorities at San Bias have fined Frank A. Panschall, mas ter of the craft, $1,000 for carrying one passenger in excess of the number allowed by Mexican laws. The com mander of the Denver has requested permission to Jow the Panama to Ma zatlan for repairs. Chinese Followers a Problem. Field Headquarters in Mexico, July 12, by motor truck to Columbus. N. M. What to do with the 300 Chinese who have associated themselves with the punitive expeditlun has developed into a serious problem with the army since the shortening of the line in Mexico recently revealed the large number enjoying present security un der the protection or" the American flag. The Chinese flocked to the Ameri can lines to make money while the Mexicans there refused to sell hungry soldiers anything to eat, or through poverty were unable to tr? f f ic with the American troopo. The Chinese stepped in and succeeded. Like the Mexicans who were threatened for having business dealings witb. the army, these Chinese lay themselves V Ul Lilt.- LIIH1IIK.

CLEANUMN CITY Sanitary Campaign To Be In augurated in Topeka. Prevent Any Possibility of In fantile Paralysis Here. GO AFTER UNSANITARY PLACES Arrests Will Follow if Persons Refuse to Obey. Mosquito Netting for Those Who Cannot Afford It. Plans for a city wide sanitary clean up will be formulated this afternoon in a meeting of city sanitary and health officers and others which was called In the office of W. L. Porter, parks commissioner. The clean-up will be waged to prevent any possi bility of an infantile paralysis epi demic The meeting was attended by Dr. H. L. Clark, city physician; Dr. H. A. Alexander, county physician, and Miss Edith Lacy for the Public Health Nursing association. "I understand," said Commissioner Porter who called the meeting, "the surroundings and conditions of some houses in the city are unsanitary. Buy Screen for Them. "We will make a thorough cam paign and clean up the unsanitary places and take no chances. Whether they are of the nature that will causa paralysis will make no difference, we will clean them up anyway. 'I am going to buy a quantity of mosquito netting or screen for houses where there is sickness and where the occupants are unable to do so them selves. "In addition to other activities In which the health and sanitary officers will be instructed will be orders to notify persons with unsanitary places on their premises to clean them up. "You may say,' said Dr. Porter, "there will be arrests If our orders are not heeded immediately." About 20 health and sanitary offi cers were notified to attend the meet ing. The clean-up will be one of the most thorough Topeka has experi enced for some time, it is said. BEW A REJIG1 MBS! Deutschland Takes o Chances on Gift Packages. Are Returned to Donors No Americans Going Back. Baltimore, July 17. Fear of spies and bombs seemed to be strongly upon the crew and managers of the Deutschland today. The vigilance of the past week had Increased. Even police officials who had been permit ted entrance to her pier wer repulsed; a special watchman headed off mes sengers and mail carriers; all night the powerful searchlight on the tug Timmins played nervously over the waters to pick up launches and to search the shore for unwelcome watchers. "Drive them away quick," was the shout from the Timmins to the police on shore when the searchlight reveal ed newspaper "spies." "For heaven's sake, don't let them stay there." A special delivery messenger arrived at the Eastern Forwarding dock with a small package, presumably a gift from an admirer to Captain Konig. Might Be Infernal Machine? "You can't come in here," said the German guard abruptly. "I won't take that package." The messenger was surprised. "Will you write that down, or I'll get in trouble," he replied. And the guard wrote it unmistak ably with the added information that there is no use trying to deliver any packages at th dock. The inference from this generally is that the Deutschland folk fear an attempt to wreck the ship. The Deutschland, dressed up in fresh green paint and decorated with traces of white at the bow and stern, to re semble the ocean waves, still lay at the pier today. It had been announced that Captain Konig went to New York to see Am bassador Bernstorff and bring back a packet of diplomatic mail, but Mana ger Milken said this afternoon, "The captain will say right there." Agents of the Deutschland said to day there would be no Americans on the Deutschland v when she returned to Germany. WILL CALL FOR BIDS Topeka Is to Have a X'ew 250,000 Gal lon Reservoir.

The New York Yankees are holding the lead in the American league with a spirit that makes champions. Despite the loss of three of their stars, through .njuries daring the fiercest Invasion of the year by the western clubs, Donovan's men have entrenched themselves at the Polo grounds and have so far repulsed all contenders for first place. When Friti Maisel fractured his collar bene, Hughey High leaped into the breach with spectacular catches and hard hitting. Roy Hartzell filled in the gap in right when Gilhoolpy broke his ankle and was lost to the team. Rube Oldring :s now with the team to hold down the far north corner. The injury to Frank Baker on Fri day, when he fractured a rib in a chase after a foul fly. finds Boone and Bauman already fighting for the hot corner job with almost as bril liant a brand of ball as the Trappe slugger himse'f displays. Though they have met the best pitching and hardest hitting in the league during the last two weeks, the, Yanks have held the place despite in juries to three of their best men.

Nearly a score of men accused of lid-tilting by passing money at Haw thorne Saturday will be tried at Oak Park this week on charges of gam bling. No bookmakers were arrested. the victims being mostly pikers who passed money at the park. The real bettors cashed in at downtown resorts Saturday night. HIS RUNNING DAYS OVER Olympic Racer Wounded In the "Great Push" on the Sonune, London, July 17. Capt. Arnold Jackson, the famous Oxford foot racer, who won the 1,600-meter race at the Olympic in Stockholm, is among the latent athletes to be wounded at the front. His name appears on the cas ualty list today. Captain Jackson was shot in the thigh in one of the engagements of the "great push" on the Somme. The wound is clean, it is stated, and his chances of recovery are excellent, al though it is hardly .likely that he will ever be able to race again.

Johnson, national tennis champion, will be seen in action in the Rocka way Hunting Club invitation tourna ment this afternoon, teamed with Raymond D. Little, in the doubles. The title holder will not compete in the singles. SCOREBOARD FLASHES Sunday's hero Larry Doyje, Larry caught an infield fly so short than Gonzales of St. Louis, waiting on thjrd, did not even try to score. But Lar ry's whip was feeling good and he shot the ball toward home. It went wild. Gonzales walked in and had a cold drink before the ball came back from the stand. It was the winning run. If quantity counts, the Brooklyn Cubs game was the biggest bargain of the season. It was a sixteen inning tie. The Dodgers issued 14 men and got 18 hits, the Cubs 18 men and got 14 hits. The idle Red Sox moved to second place when Washington defeated Cleveland. Only three and one-half games be tween the leading Yanks and the Tigers in sixth place. Cincinnati used three pinch hitters in the game with the Braves and each popped to Maranville. "If I go to Cincinnati, I'll be boss," says Christy Mathewson, thus refus ing to go until assured of non-interference from the owners.

It is to be hoped, at least, that the report from Nogales of some of the national guardsmen stationed there being stricken with ptomaine poison from eating canned meat that was packed 13 years ago. is a mistake and Is not true. Otherwise the necessity Would arise of officially decapitating and dismissing from the service all of the officers In charge of the commis sary dej-artment of the United States army. Serving canned meat of that vintage to soldiers would be little short of a crime. What's the idea of keeping Fresi 4ent Wilson and Governor Hughes under such a nerve-wracking sus pense for so long? The latter won't know officially that he la the Repub lican nominee for the presidency un til July 81 and the former will be In the same annoying dilemma in respect to the Democratic presidential nomi nation Until the first week In August. Eut If ttis idea was fathered for the purpose of making the presidential campaign as short as possible, It is a fins one. The people must be getting pretty tired of politics, a conclusion to this end being warranted, Beemingly, by the apathy that Is being manifested fcty- those in Kansas towards the state nrimarv campaign, which ends In three weeks, and by the county cam paigns in Kansas if all of them are as dull and dead as Is the one in Shawnee county. ,heae soldier boys of Uncle Sam along the Mexican border and the girls at home whom they are marry ing by mail what would be their con jugal status if the mail in question should miscarry? Few of the cityans of Kansas prob ably obtained much consolation out of the fact that the recent spell of sizz ling weather was fine for the Kansas corn. But it will be to the advantage of every Kansan Just the same if the Kansas corn crop assumes immense proportions. And the Kansas crops I hat almost everyone was weeping over, not so many, many weeks back well, some of the expert crop forecasters are in sis ting that they promise to be more numpery than ever. There's a con siderable amount of agricultural cry ing in Kansas long before the milk Is even spilled. Any one for whom the recent brand of good, old summer weather was not warm enough, is certainly most fas tidious !n the warm weather line. General Pershing reports that the Mexican civilians in the vicinities the camps of hts forces are exceeding ly friendly to the latter and the Unit ed States, and this undoubtedly means tbat the generous soldiers of Uncle Sam are sharing as much of their ra tions aa they can with the halt starved Mexicans around them. Buns rather than bullets are needed to solve the northern Mexican problem of to day, but it isn't likely that Uncle Sam could distribute the necessary buns without using a few bullets to pacify the forces of the Mexican "leaders, who are in the revolutionary and mil itary bandit games because that is the easiest way for them and their follow crs to make a living. LIVE YOUR OWN LIFE. In the August Woman's Home Companion is the following quotation from Mill's "Essay on Liberty": "He who lets the world, or his own portion of it, choose his plan of life for him has no need of any other faculty than the ape-like one of Imitation. He who chooses his plan for himself uses all his faculties. He must use observa tioa to see, reasoning and Judgment to foresee, activity to gather materials for decision, discrimination to- decide, and when he has decided, firmness and self-control to hold to his dellb ate Judgment." "It will be objected by some," saya the Companion by way of comment, "that this Is danger ous teaching. But the world's, great men of all ages. Its heroes, its great scientists, reformers. Inventors, art ists, writers, have all without excep tion been men who very largely did their own thinking In the way Mill describes." THE TUBERCULOSIS FIGHT. Organization of all of the working men and women of the United States, including the systematic collection of funds from both employers and em ployes for local anti-tuberculosis cam paigns, is proposed in a report Just issued by The National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tubercu losis, entitled "Working Men's Organi zations in Local Anti-Tuberculosis Campaigns." The report discusses various experi ments that have been tried by work ing men in different parts of the United States to organise for effective service in the anti-tuberculosis cam paign, and recommends a plan which would comprehend the following fea tures, based upon the bestjn all the schemes studied: (1) A simple organization repre senting employers and employes closely allied with the local anti-tuberculosis society of the community. The organization will provide for the establishment of a tuberculosis fund either on the basis of individual fac tories or groups of factories. (21 A plan for collecting funds to be used for the relief of tuberculous workers and their families by free will offerings from employers and employes. Employers will be urged in all cases to duplicate the Joint col lections of employes. The collections will not be a tax or assessment, and ill constitute a special tuberculosis fund in addition to those of regular benefit societies. (3) A systematio campaign for medical examination of all workers at yearly or more frequent intervals. t4) The appointment of special committees to give relief to fellow- workers and their families suffering from tuberculosis from the funds col lected. Any worker in a community where a fund is started who develops tuberculosis will be cared for. (5) Carrying on of educational and legislative work through the organi zation. 6 The collection of statistics about occupational mortality from tu berculosis. Every anti-tuberculosis association in the United States will urged to use this report as a, basis for organ izing the factories and shops in its community in the antl-tuberculosis campaign. "This is not the best form of co-operation of workers in the anti tuberculosis campaign," says the re port. "The ideal form would be the adoption of the German or British health and sickness insurance plans to American experience. The plan proposed here is a near approach toward insurance against tuberculosis since it proposes co-operation of the worker, the employer and the state, the latter in earing for consumptives In public institutions at reduced rates." What a fine spectacle was presented In a Topeka news item of recent date that shows some of the ridiculously exacting laws of Kansas to be so framed that a trifling estate which may be held In trust for minor until he becomes of age is materially re duced and more than likely to be eaten up entirely by the probate court fees that are demanded for its admin istration and by the taxes levied upon it. CHANGE PARTNERS. Under the above caption. The Inde pendent presents some exceedingly In teresting historical Information as to the sides that the nations of Europe have taken on previous occasions, as follows: British, French, Italians and Russians are now fighting the Turks In order that Russia may get Constan tinople. Sixty years ago British, French, Italians and Turks were fight ing the Russians in order to prevent Russia front getting Constantinople. In those days the Russians firmly be--lleved that the United States would come to their aid. "They spoke of the help they were to reeelv-3 with as much assurance as if a treaty had al ready been signed on the subject," writes an Englishwoman in Russia during the Crimean war. The Rus sians expected that the American fleet would enter the Baltic and attack the Allied fleet from the west while the Russian ships attacked it from the, east. Yet the Russians were rather ashamed of their supposititious allies from over the ocean, for they "always spoke of the United States as a half savage country and of the Americans as half civilized." But the English were regarded by the Russians as more than half savage on account of their treatment of prisoners and the use of long range gvns and "asphyx iant balls." ."It Is a perfect disgrace to any people to invent such and it is cowardice and baseness to make use of them." Ten years later things were reversed. Then the Americans looked to Russia for help If the English and French should combine to attack the United States. Although no treaty to that effect has been disclosed, it was firmly believed that the Rnssian war ships in Boston harbor were under sealed orders to take the side of the United States in case Great Britain openly espoused the cause of the south. In 1900 France, Germany and Russia were denouncing England for crushing the little Boer republics and treating the women and children with frightful cruelty. Minister Delcaase had great difficulty in preventing French officers from enlisting to fight the British. Kitchener, then execrated by the French on account of Fashoda and by the Boers because the con centration camps, is now honored and mourned by French and Boer alike. The present administration "in Wash ington, now accused by its opponents of being pro-British, is the same party which in its platform of 1900 vigorously espoused the cause of the South African republics against the British. Two years ago Great Britain refused to concede the Belgian annex ation of the Congo. Now the British are aiding the Belgians to defend the Congo against the Germans. Twenty -two years ago the English press was fiercely and not without reason de nouncing the "Japanese atnieities" in China, thirteen years ago the "Ser bian atrocities" in Belgrade and "Rus sian atrocities" in Africa, and five years ago the "Italian atrocities" in Tripoli. Twelve years ago Russia and Japan were fighting each other, now they are on the same side. Four years ago Serbia and Bulgaria together were fighting Turkey. Three years ago Serbia and Turkey together were fighting Bulgaria. Now Turkey and Bulgaria are, on the. same side and Serbia on the other. Fifty years ago Prussia and Italy were fighting to gether against Austria. A hundred years ago Prussia and England were fighting together against France. Bo It goes.

Journal Entries Evil thoughts are the forerunners of evil deeds. Talk may be cheap, but that's no excuse for a lot of it. The best way to avoid paying debut is not to incur any. Unless a fellow be a millionaire a real summer resort is no place for his pocketbook. There may be other ways to achieve success than by hard work, but only a few are clever enough to find them.

Pleasant Center's Fourth of juiy celebration possibly wasn't so enjoy able as it was profitable. The.

Here's good advice for Osborne from the Osborne County News that is also good adviee for every other town in Kansas', little or big: If you will think Osborne Is the best place in Kansas if yoi will talk it if you will spend your money at home Osborne will be more than you expect. Told by the Osborne County Farm er: Three colored men were working in a deep ditch, repairing a sewer. Another colored man passed the spot. "Say," he called, "what if a long, slim arm would reach out of that sewer and grab one of you fellows?" "Aw, go on, niggah," responded one of the' negroes in the ditch, "doan' yo' go to askin' questions like that. We wants to finish this Job." A farmer came to town the other night and employed one o f the hoboes in the railroad park to go out with him to harvest, -tells the Downs News. The man told the farmer he had had noth ing to eat, and the farmer took him to a restaurant and paid for his meal. When he had finished the "Bo" ap proached the farmer and said: "Do you suppose you have some way out at your place to wash my clothes? They are Just full of graybacks." It Is needless to say the farmer did not take the fellow out with him, and the tramp was a supper ahead. In Chicago, a man was fined tl be cause he kissed his girl after she had protested that she did not want to be Kissed, notes the Emporia Gazette, and it adds: By fining the man the Judge estaDiisnea a precedent, which will be Viewed with Alarm by both men and maid. The cautious young man, fear ing a fine in police court, will refrain from kissing a girl who has uttered the customary "Now don't," which in all ages haa preceded osculation. And the girl will be between the fires of being obliged to be kissed without protest, which spoils half the fun, and of not being kissed because the "Now don't" brings visions to the young man of a visit to the judge in the morning. Globe Sights BY THE ATCHISON OLOBB. There is frequently a good deal of heat In a cold bottle. Sometimes a man takes a chance and loses pretty much everything else. Tell a man that he looks good and he probably will reply that he feels tough. There is so much sympathy it may not be strange that a good deal of it is misplaced. There are usually plenty of warn ings around for those who are look ing for them. Sometimes a man knows the risk he runs without being able to run away from it. Your mistakes of grammar won't matter so much if you really have something to say. Some of the patriotism is predicated on the theory that the nation can afford to pay for it.

How She Stood It. "I don't see how you can bear to let Junior have a bicycle," I heard one of my neighbors say to another tne other day. Junior's mother rocked herself into reach of the mending basket, took out a pair of Junior's stockings and asked serenely, "Why?" "Because there are so many auto mobiles around," said the neighbor. "And the children are so careless with their bicycles. Just suppose he were to be In the middle of the street and one of those reckless drivers were to come dashing around the corner, the way they do, and he should lose his head and turn the wrong way." Junior's mother wove a swift needle in and out the cross threads of a very big hole, the kind a small boy In-1 variably gets on his knee. "Junior is eight," she said.

QUAKER MEDITATIONS. tFrom the Philadelphia Record. Many a man has been left because his watch wasn't right. Wouldn't it be fine if family jars could only be used for preserving peace? The pessimist Is a man who re gards the pursuit of happiness as a punitive expedition. Fight your own battles. The fel low who takes your part will generally take more than that. The man who Is satisfied to wait for something to turn up generally has to pick It out of the discard. It shouldn't take a fruit grower to convince you that the apple of discord should be nipped in the bud. Misery loves company, which may explain why some people are never so happy as when they are alone. Wiggs "I wonder why Guzzler doesn't take a brace." Wagg "I rather suspect it's because he takes too many bracers." You never can tell. Many a man who prides himself on being a well known citizen is too well known for his own good. "About the cheapest thing in the world is happiness." said the Wise Guy.. "Yes, but lots of rich people can't afford It," added the Simple Mug. "MY EAX8A8."

The little nurse was coming down the hallway with a tray for her pa tient in room 16. It was about 4 o'clock, and, of course, Mac Thompson was standing somewhere near, with his hands in his pockets and his, hat on the back of his head, waiting' for her. Beside him stood Bill Fields, who immediately brought his heels togeth er and bowed profoundly when he saw her coming. "Hello. Miss Arthur," said Mac, with a most ingratiating smile. Bill swept the floor In another graceful salutation. "How do you do?" said the little nurse primly, and marched on with her tray. "Allow me," said Mac, as he pushed open the door. "Thank you, Mr. Thompson." And she whisked past him into the room. "Didn't she do that nicely?" growled Mac. "And here I have wasted a per fectly good fifteen minutes to see her, and she knows it, too." "Don't be discouraged, Charlie; try again, (joming to eiasemeeting? No? Well, I'm off." Bill disappeared down the hall, and Mac sauntered up and down and waited for his tormentor to reappear. Out she whisked and was nrnceert- ing to pass him with another sweet and preoccupied smile when he caught "No, you don't, fair lady." -iet me go this instant. Mac. Let go my apron. I Just wish von meriicni students wouldn't come bothering me when I'm busy." "Hey 7 Plural? Which ones have Deen bothering you? Give me their i see to tnem directly. I'm the only medical student licensed to bother you." Mac took out his note book and pen with a flourish and tuuKsu at ner in a business-like way She had to laugh. "Mac. vou ridicu lous thing, you'll never be sensible. out senousiy now, you are interrunt ing me in my work. I wish von vnM go away." She screwed her face up into a frown. "I've got my orders. Farewell, cruel young woman." And then he turned right about and walked stiffly down the hall. Miss Arthur was so startled at his move that she watched him in silence. She had not recovered from her sur- prise when he reached the door. Then he turned around with a grin and kissed his hand to her. She wheeled, angered with herself for watching him, and swept off with a fierce little frown which had turned into a smile by the time she had reached her desti nation. This happened to be the win dow. She stood 'in the shadow of the curtain and watched him depart. He looked up, but the little nurse was careful this time that she was not caught napping. "What a boy!" she said scornfully, with a smile at the corner of her mouth. For the next week, the boy merely waved his hand at her from a distance, artd when no one was about he threw a kiss. A week of that hrnnrhi little nurse into a white heat of rage, and when he suddenly popped Into speaking distance with her one day she lost no time in telling him her mind. "Go right away. I don't like you!" she snapped at him, and she moved away with a red face, conscious that he was grinning a little. "Abom inable tease!" she scolded. How she longed to shake him, as she watched him cross the street from the hospital that night. Strange how she watched for him every night. "Hello, honey!" he said next night, when she came out of room 16 with her arms full. She had Just been thinkinar of him. and she looked up with a smile that was too Driinant to be anything but genuine. Mac s race lost its banter ing look and he stooned and kissed the upturned face. "You darting!" he said huskily. But the little nurse was rjetrified with horror. Had he thought she was glad to see him? Did he dare to n she had wanted to see him? "Oh, how dare you? I I Her thoughts trailed off into nothingness, and she made her escape into her room and had a good weep for very rage. "Haw dare he? Horrid thing! He took advantage! I'll never, never, never But she did not say what she would never do. After a brief blank silence, she put her head up high and went on with her work. For two days, she refused to look at Mac, who kept glancing sideways at her with a rather subdued air. His step was not so jaunty when he left the hospital. The little nurse noticed that when she peered out at him from behind the curtain the third day. There was some satisfaction In that But it was getting tiresome, this not speaking to Mac. And after all. per haps well, perhaps she had been too severe. She hated to give In, but be ing angry was very wearing. Pride was rather tiresome, especially when she wanted to be friends with Mac. "Miss Arthur." Mac Was standing before her in the doorway when she came out of a room next evening. There was grim determination in his face, and the little nurse got panicky. Oh, for anything to stave this reckon ing off! "Oh, no! Oh, no, no!" she stam mered, and would have fled. He turned quickly, and caught his finger in the doorjamb. "Jove!" he muttered forcefully, as he rescued his hand and examined it. It pained him considerably, and his face was drawn up in a half whistle. It would have been relief to let out AN OLD jl mm a whoop but one had to be quiet in a hospital. Consequently he merely made an awful face, which consider ably frightened the little nurse. "Oh, Mac, I've hurt you! How did I do it? Do let me see it, please do!" Now, Mac, naturally a wily young man, saw his advantage at once, and drew his face up into a, still more ex cruciating scowl. "Jove!" he said again, pretending that the pain made him oblivious of her presence. "Dear Mac, do let me see it. I'?l bandage it. I'm so sorry, Mac. dear." Ihe little nurse was so 'ruly distressed that she did not care vrhi'.t she said. "Not out here, come on Into this empty room. Jove, but it pains! Are you very sorry?" Oh, yes, so sorry" "Shame!" thought Mac to himself, "but it's got to be done!" He raised a pained face to her sorrow stricken one. "Would you be sorry If my hand had to be amputated?" "Oh, Mac!" And she buried her head on his arm in tears. "Would you marry a man with only one hand?" The little nurse nodded her head, choking with sobs, and Mac cheerfully grinned over her head and winked his eye at the window. "Oh, but you would rather have u good article than a damaged one." "I lovo you anvway, Mac." "Then it's all right, girlis. for I did not hurt my hand at all," said Mac cheerfully, printing another kiss on the astonished face of the little nurse. She was so relieved that she kissed him in return. "Mac, where are you?" came Bill's voice from the hall outside. "Here." "Coming to class meeting?" said Bill, putting his head inside the door. "What the deuce are you doing in here? Eh? Well, I'll be Congrat ulations!" Bill vanished discreetly. A few minutes later Mac came out of the hospital with a jaunty step. He waved his hand at the little nurse, who openly stood at the window and smiled. (Copyright, 1916, by the Mc Clure Newspaper Syndicate.) Dinner Stories Nearly every one of his friends had suffered from the caprices of the practical Joker. Happily, the Joker had weak points of his own. One of them was a dislike of night air. One morning about 2 o clock there came a tremendous thumping at his front door. The joker hopped out of bed. opened his front window, and leaned out. "In heaven's name what is the mat ter?" he said. "One of your windows is open," said a man on the sidewalk. "Which one?" said the joker. "The one you have stuck your head through,'" was the reply. Capt. John Stevenson met a recent arrival from the "auld countree" and speedily pot into a chat with him over conditions there. The new arrival told feelingly of the terrible toll of war upon the fair land of Scotia, the sad tales of young men killed and maimed, the sufferings of the families left be hind. His was a right sad tale in every way. "Why, mon, we're Jist dis tractit wi' it," he concluded. "And I snppose the war has caused the price of provisions to go uu in Scotland as well as everywhere else, commented Captain Stevenson with sympathy. "Aye. mon. ye're richt," agreed th'i visitor.

Put on a gallon (or less) of water to boll. When boiling drop in a few tomatoes for a second or two. Use a perforated skimmer to take out and drop in cold water at once to stop scalding, tan soon scald a bushel or two. So much better than pouring boiling water over a quantity, as some scald too much and others not enough. Have water boiling each time you drop in four or five. Pineapple Syrup. When canning pineapples, do not throw away the eyes and core. Chop them fine, cover with water and boil about ten min utes and strain. Add sugar to taste to the juice thus extracted and boll for a few minutes. This makes a de licious syrup for use with sherbet, fruit sponge or sauces for puddings. The Table. Emergency Cake. One egg, one and one-half cups light brown sugar, one heaping teaspoon butter (lard may De used), one-half cup milk, one and one- half teaspoons baking powder, navor to taste. If you have trouble in mak ing your cakes raise and keeping them from falling, drop pans several times after cake is in them on a smooth surface. The cake will raise splendidly and not fall. Marshmallow Dainty. Cut half nound marshmallows into small pieces. Add to them one cup whipped cream. one and one-half tablespoons sugar, stiffly beaten whites of two eggs, one cup sliced bananas, one cup chopped CHIRPY GOES Three little girls took their lunch and went to picnic In the park. To be sure the park was only a block away from home; but who cares about that? Everybody knows that it isn't how far you go, but how much fun you have while you're gone, that makes a successful picnic! So they started very gaily and ran the whole length of the one block they had to go. When they arrived at the spot where they wanted to eat, they tucked their baskets carefully under some bushes and. began to play. They played "Duck on a Rock," and Mother" and "Sunbeam" and all the other games they knew. And the more they played the hungrier they became you know yourself how hun gry a person does get when they know there's a lot of nice sandwiches and cookies, and maybe a surprise a-walting right close at hand! "Let's not play any more," said Susan. "Let's eat." "Oh, but it isn't time," objected Helen, the oldest. "Who cares?" asked Ruth. "We're the picnic nobody else is coming. Let's eat; I'm hungry." So they pulled the baskets out from their hiding place and sat down to eat. Such a Jolly picnic as it was! Such good sandwiches, such fine cookies you never tasted. And the surprise was there, too trust mother for that! Down in the bottom of each little girl's basket was a tiny, tiny box of candy a box for each little girl! Wasn't that nice? But there was one thing happened that they didn't expect. Ruth was wrong when she said nobody else was coming, for somebody else had al ready come. And who do you sup pose that somebody was? Of course you can guess, because you have seen his name at the top of the story. Chir py Sparrow came to the picnic! At first he was very shy, likely be cause he realized he hadn't been reg ularly invited. But when he saw that nobody seemed to object to his com ing, he darted close enough to pick I 5 II I iKiaSSflfivCfa I AGAIN H.H,l.ll.ll.lWL.TJjOI II Ml WORLD nut meats; flavor to taste.

Mix tnoroughly, add one-half cup hot water In which a level teaspoon of soda has been dis solved and flavor with a teaspoon of vanilla. Pie Helps. By adding a rounding tablespoon of minute tapioca to cherry or berry pie Instead of flour the pi will be greatly improved. All recipes for lemon pie call for lemon to be cooked with custard. By adding lem on last .after taking the custard off the stove the pie will be much Im proved, a secret for the best lemon custard pie. Things Worth Knowing. Place Pieces of Macaroni upright In holes of the top crust of a berry pie, to allow steam to escape and pre vent from running over. To Clean Windows which aro smoked, or grimy looking, rub them with a cloth moistened in wood alco hol, then polish with another cloth. This is much better than water. When Making Sash Curtains, sew Battenberg rings at the top, placing them at equal distances, to run the rod through. The rings look so much neater and prettier than the ruffled heading.

"That tastes like more," said ho to himself as he cocked his head this way and that and lot ked at the girls, "and I mean to get another." So again he darted down, and again he got a good bite. And that time, Ruth saw him. "Look who's come to our picnic!" she cried. "Come on, girls, let's feed him!" So they threw him cookie crumbs and cracker bits and gave him so much that he called to Mrs. Chirpy, who had followed him on his Journey over to the park, to come and help him eat all the goodies. And next time you have a picnic, throw all your crumbs where the birds can see them; maybe you'll have un expected guests, too. (Copyright Clara Ingram Judson.)

Thousands, annoyd by headavhes, nervousness, biliousness, sleeplessness, etc. often due to coffee drinking have heeded a friendly suggestion to quit the coffee and use Instant Postum This pure food-drink is made of wheat, roasted with a bit of wholesome molasses. It has a rich, snappy flavor much like that of high-grade Java coffee, yet it contains no caffeine the drug in coffee nor other harmful ele ment. Freedom from caffeine gives Nature right of way to rebuild and revitalize the mental and physical forces. There are two forms of Postum The original Postum Cereal must be boiled; Instant Postum, a soluble form, is made in the cup by adding boiling water ready in stantly. Some prefer one, some the other; they are equally delicious and the cost per cup is about the same.

He was acquitted of the charge of murdering Marion Lambert, his high school sweetheart, by a jury which returned its verdict at 7:48 o'clock. Only three ballots were taken, the Jurors standing eleven to one from the start. E. J. Bock, owner of a large grocery in Highland Park, was the man who held out for conviction. He capitulated on the fourth ballot. Oat 4 Hours, 51 Minutes. The jury was out four hours and fifty-one minutes. Nearly an hour of that time was consumed by the eve ning meal. It was 7:35 when a bailiff hurried around to the front of the the court house, where Judge Charles M. Don nelly was talking with Attorney James H. Wilkerson. "They're ready for you, judge," he announced. There was a scramble of attorneys, reporters and spectators, who had been cooling on the lawn. A few minutes later the jurors filed into the courtroom and stood along the railing in front of the bench. "I want to say that any demonstra tion on the reading of this verdict will be contempt of court and the offend ers will be dealt with severely," warn ed Judge Donnelly.

Hi County Clerk Brockway, who took from it the important piece of paper on which Orpet's fate was written. Judge's Hands Shake, Judge Donnelly's fingers shook aa he unfolded the document. "'Is this your verdict, gentlemen?" inquired the judge. "It is," they responded, following the lead of Foreman James O'Shea, who is a partner in a music stors in Waukegan. "We, the jury, find the defendant, William orpet, not guilty," read the court. "Oh, goody," half screamed a wom an on the front bench. There were several irrepressible "ohs" and "ahs." Four women ran from the room. Judge Donnelly's face reddened. Turning to the sheriff, he said: "Mr. Sheriff, bring that person forward." Sheriff Griffin could not find her. "If could find out whe made that outcry there would be a chance for some one to spend an hour or two in the county bastile." said the Judje. Mother Kisses Orpet. When the words "not guilty" fell from Judge Donnelly's lips, Orpet's mother, who sat at his right, clasped him to her and kissed him. her eyes shining with triumph and pride. She relinquished him in a moment to Mrs. Edwin Taylor, who conducted a rooming house in Madison. Wis. She motherer Orpet during the two years he lived with her while attend ing the University of Wisconsin. She also kissed him. Then they shook hands all around with the three smiling, happy but tired lawyers who have fought tena ciously, ever since Marion Lambert was poisoned in Helm's woods on Feb ruary 9, to free Orpet of the accusa tion. Edwin O. Orpet, the defendant's father, was not In court. Neither were Mr. and Mrs. Frank Lambert, Marion's parents. Mr. Lambert had been in attendance until nearly 6 o'clock, but, feeling that the Jury would not return a verdict for several hours, went heme to comfort his wife. Verdict Jars Dady. State's Attorney Ralph J. Dady re coiled as if from a blow and his face flushed when the decision of the twelve arbiters was read. Special Prosecutor David R. Joslyn, who is state's attorney of McHenry county, sat stunned. His head sank to his breast. But they were good losers. In a minute they were up and smiling to congratulate the jurors and receive the best wishes of their friends. After receiving the affectionate em braces of his mother and clasping the hands of Attorneys Wilkerson, Ralph H. Potter and Leslie P. Hanna, Orpet shook hands with each juror and ex pressed his thanks. Then he hurried into an ante-room. where he was alone with his mother for a short time. But Mrs. Charles Donnelly, wife of the presiding judge, was among the first of the outsiders to grasp nta hand and congratulate him. Case to the Jury. The Jury retired at 2:56 o'clock in the afternoon to begin its delibera tions. They took with them a set of fifty- one instructions, considered highly favorable to the youthful defendant. and still ringing in their ears were the final denunciatory words of Spe cial Prosecutor David R. Joslyn, who concluded his argument at 2:11 o clock. Tragedy Occurred Last Fteb. 9. On the afternoon of last February 8, carrying the bottle of molasses and water in his pocket, and leaving be hind him the alibi letters and a Dea rumpled to deceive his landlady, the student proceeded by way of Milwau kee, where he spent a half hour or so between trains, to Lake Forest. Ar riving there he arranged by telephone to meet Marion on her way to school the next morning, walked about for a while to make certain that his parents had retired, and entered the McCor mick garage where he spent the night on a cot. In the morning he and Marion met and walked through the snow Into the woods. Orpet testified that there was little conversation, and he could recol lect only the purport of it. He offered her the "medicine" and she refused it. He started to leave but she called him back and asked if he was going to write to her any more. He paid there seemed to be no use of it, and startad away again. "Something made me look around I don t know what and I saw Marion lying In the snow," related the defend ant on the stand. "I returned, kneeled over her for maybe a minute. I no tlced the moist powder in the lines of her hand. Her eyes were glazed. Then a kind of fog came on my brain and I don't remember much after that ex cept that on reaching the road I threw away the 'medicine' and made my way on foot to Highland Park, caught a train and that evening arrived back at Madison." Found Her Body In Snow. Marlon was missed that night and her body found the next morning. Orpet was arrested and told numerous conflicting stories prior to the trial, these being used against him at the trial. During his cross-examination which last three days he repeatedly took refuge in "I don't remember." He spoke in a low voice, with apparently studied effort, but nevertheless be came involved at times and extricated himself by "correcting my previous testimony. His manner was nervous. and he rarely looked at his inquisitor, Attorney Joslyn. Early in the case the state develon- ed the theory that Orpet purchased a two-ounce bottle from Charles Has singer, a friend employed In a drug store at Madison, obtained cyanide of potassium from an alleged supply in tne greennouse on the Mccormick es tate, and made a solution of it before retiring to bed In the garage. It was charged that he either forced Marion to take it, or deceived her with the expalnatlon that It was medicine. Poison From School Laboratory? The fact that young Orpet might have obtained the greenhouse cyanide had its parallel in the laboratory of the Deerfleld high school attended by Marlon. The instrument of murder and the instrument of sucide were equally available. The laboratory substance was 97 per cent pure cya nide of potassium. Marion, on the day before ner death, was alone in the laboratory out of hours In violation of a school rule. The parallel of knowledge of cva- nide did not run so straight. Orpet, according to his testimony, had not looked at a chemistry textbook for two years, while Marion s next lesson which she was preparing included the sub ject of cyanide of potassium. Orpet, however, knew of its use in the green house as a fumigator, and had read an article on its use in horticulture. "Is vonr husband a Iimtt amnlr...' "Dear me, no.

KANSAS WEEDS HAVE ENEMY. Agricultural College Expert Advises use of Sheep on Fields. Manhattan, July 17. Kansas weeds are readily consumed by sheep if they have access to them when young and tender, according to A. M. Paterson, assistant in animal husbandry in the Kansas State Agricultural college. Thus the sheep convert the waste rrom stubble fields, fence corners, roadsides and small lots into an edi ble and marketable product. "The flock of sheep on the farm is a convenient source of fresh meat for family use," says Mr. Paterson. "The meat is wholesome in character and is of pleasing flavor. Fewer sheep are condemned at the packirg houses than is the case with other class of live stock. "The breedina flock produces two cash crops in a year. The lambs are ready for market in the fall and in the spring the wool clip is a convenient source of Income." WARDEN WARNS MANHATTAN. Too Much Illegal Fishing Brings Out Tegmeier and His Indian. Manhattan. July 17. Persons who have been doing illegal fishing at Rocky Ford and other favorite turning points near Manhattan, are going to mend their ways. State Fish and Game Warden W. C. Tegmeier is here from Topeka to investigate and put a stop to the work which has been going on in that line. He brought with him Henry Ogee, a Pottawatomie Indian, who is a deputy game warden, and has a record of fifteen years of success in picking up violators of the fish and game laws. Complaints have been received by Tegmeier of the indiscriminate "gaffing of fish," going in among the rocks with a gaff, and hauling the finny fel lows out. This is strictly against the law, and will be stopped. Also there has been some fishing with hoop nets, which will have to be ended. KANSAS "FIFTY-SIXERS" MEET. Lawrence Will Entertain Old Settlers of State In September. Lawrence, Kan., July 17. The an nual meet of the "Fifty-Sixers," an organization of old settlers of this community, who have been in Kansas fifty years or more, will be held Sep tember 14. The Fifty-Sixers have one of the most unique organisations in the state. Originally they in-! eluded in their membership only those who had come to Kansas as early as lsse, but they now admit anyone who has been in the state fifty years, so mat tne list of eligibies increases each year automatically. Among the mem bers are several who came to Kansas as early as 1854. NICKERSON COMMUNITY CHURCH Kansas Town Would Consolidate J'onr Congregations This Summer. Nickerson, July 17. -Nickerson has four churches Christian, Methodist, Congregationl and Brethren. There is a movement on to unite the churches and congregations into one large com munity church. The idea is that by uniting expenses. efforts and enthusiasm, there would be one strong church, with a municipal chorus choir, and attracting the inter est of the entire community, instead of aiviamg forces, and multiplying ex penses. The matter has been under consid eration ever since the union revival meetings, held in a tabernacle" in Nick erson some time ago. The folks of the various churches liked the unity of those meetings so well that they hated to quit and go liack into the respective folds. KANSANS KILLED BY TRAIN.

House Built Fifty Years Ago a- Total Loss Mysterious Blaze. Wakarusa, Kan., July 17. A ten room farm house owned and occupied by George Nabor, has been destroyed by fire. No one was at home when the fire broke out and its origin is unknown. A piano and a few articles were taken out of the house by neigh bors. The loss is estimated at $2,000 and is partly covered by insurance. The house was built fifty years ago by Mr. Nabor's father and was one of the old landmarks near here. Heat Fatal at Parsons. Parsons, Kan., July 17. The intense heat of the past week claimed its first victim here Sunday when James Cahill, 56, died of heat prostration. He was a journeyman horseshoer and quit his work after complaining of "feeling queer in the head." He was found later wandering about in a dazed condition and died in a few hours. When he arrived here last month he registered at a hotel from Harrison, but named no state. The authorities here are hunting for his relatives. Three Drowned at Chanute. Chanute, Kan., July 17. Erma Cox, aged 14; Mary Stelnmetz, 13, and Earl Shirk. 16, were drowned in the Neosho river here Sunday. While wading across the stream they stepped into a pool fourteen feet deep. Shirk perished trying to help the girls. Searchers worked five hours before all the bodies were recovered. SOME SHARKS EVERYONE SHOULD DODGE 25 YEARS AGO IN TOPEKf.

The old "Aid House" at the corner of Gordon street and Kansas avenue is being wrecked to make way for the new postoffice. The building was erected in the late 70's by the Freed men's Aid society, which maintained headquarters in it. At that time there was an exodus of negroes from the south to Kansas and thousands of them came to Topeka. They came, it was said, on a promise, that the head of each family would be given 40 acres of land and a mule. They arrived in a destitute condition and were herded In barracks built for the purpose near the Santa Fe Junction. They never got the '40 acres nor the mule but it was necessary to provide for them until they could become self sustaining. Kansas citizens responded liberally to appeals for help and the "Aid House" soon was packed from cellar to garret with provisions, cloth ing ar.d bedding. With its disappearance goes the last visible memento of the exodus. The negroes remained and settled in Ten nessee Town, Redmondville, South Topeka and other ports of the city. They or their descendants are there yet. MAKES PRICES SLUMP Heavy Shipments of Potatoes Cause Weakness In the Market.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL MONDAY EVENING, JULY 17, 1916 GERMANS EXPECT AN ALLY ATTACK ON DEUTSCHLAND Voa Jagow Believes U. S. Will i Give Her Square Deal. Sinking Her Without Warning f Would Be Bastardly Deed. 1 REAL TEST OF NEUTRALITY i i j Washington's Attitude Will Be I "Watched With Interest. I To .Be Treated as Other Trad i jers Is All That Is Asked. BY VILUAM BAYARD HAIjK. Berlin. July 17. I called upon the minister of foreign affairs, von Jagow, and laid before him a telegraphic re port from Washington, via London, representing that the United States government, though admitting the pa cific character of the Deutschland, would not protest if the warships of the. allies were to assemble at the mouth of the Chesapeake, the London interpretation being that the United States government did not feel con cerned regarding the treatment ac corded the boat upon the high seas. Minister von Jagow said: 'I find this report altogether in credible; It is incredible in the first place that any government would an nounce in advance its decision in hypothetical cases. In the secon-i pla. it is inci edible that anybody in authority at Washington would make an announcement, which in effect, suggests or invites an attack upon a German merchantman by the ships of the Entente powers. I dismiss as absurd the report that such an an nouncement as that recorded 'n the London Times could have been made In SVashinaton. At the same time youi, will not fail to understand the mi-amief to the good relations existing between Germany and the United Statfs which the dissemination of such reports does., Attack Iiikely. "Vet, It Is quite possible that British vessels are really preparing to do what it is suggested they may do assemble at ihe mouth of Chesapeake bay and attdmpt on sight to sink the Deutsch land and her crew. In spite of any in timation coming in this way I cannot belive the United States government wovjBd In the event of such a cowardly, dastardly deed fail to voice the ener getic protest of civilization and hu manity. We claim nothing for this nei type of merchantman, save that she1s entitled to be hailed, visited and therrew placed in safety before slit is destroyed the precise rights which hafe been insisted upon for every oth er merchant ship by our government. If, jotter she is hailed, she attempts to fscape, she does sn at her own risk anifc may properly be attacked and surtk. But to allow the attack without warning upon an unarmed fragile borft, the lives of whose crew are at themerey .of a single shot that is something of which we refuse to be lieve the United States is capable. "3CVhile the Deutschland is purely a conjmerclal enterprise, the German government is naturally watching with a High degree of Interest the treat ment accorded her by the government of fhe United States and it is certain thai the German people are prepared to iccept the attitude of Washington on this question, almost as decisive of tne wnole subject of the sincerity of theprofessions of American neutrality. 4, Another Point. "ur men of peace, inventors, ma rinA architects, shippers, who have ma4e this attempt to solve in a nat ural and peaceful way some of the projlems created by war should be inexpressibly disappointed to learn thaf their efforts had been, in effect, resented by a nation whose necessities as well as our own they were intended to Relieve. 'f do not wish to press the point thu you have not yet yourselves made a successful effort to thwart the Brit ish 3ea oppression, that you have con tented yourselves with ineffectual paper- protests while we triumphantly hava broug-ht to bear upon the prob lems all the energy of our people. I do not press the point because it is perfectly natural, that our needs being no doubt g.-eater than yours, we have been spurred to exertions for which you have not felt the necessity. "Here we have an innocent craft de signed, constructed and sent upon a voyage for the express purpose of re lieving a situation against which we are: battling and against which the United States government is protest ing The cargo consists of goods in the! necessary industry and common comfort of America. She will be fol lowed by similar craft designed and constructed for the same peaceful beneficent purpose. She will bring back to Germany articles which your farmers, manufacturers and merchants ha been forbidden, by England to aellto European customers. All this is in h.n exact line with your declared purposes to free your industries, com merce and common life from let us be fiollte and say the unhappy pressure of frar. i The United States, its people and Its government, have a direct Interest In the fate of this commercial subma rine undertaking. You cannot be in different to it. When was it ever known that a government expressed Indifference to the necessities of its people, the needs of its Industries and the. freedom of its innocent intercourse with the rest of the world. J Asks Nothing Unusual. do not In the slightest degree sumgest that you become the special champions of the commercial subma rine or accerd to It any unusual privi leges. I mean only there is every reaSon In self-interest above and be yorfd the ordinary reasons of fair play on(( respect for the International law why you s'.iould extend to it the same rights exactly those and no more which you extend ships that do not possess the quality of traveling through as well as upon the water. Th circumstances that a vessel has nefly achieved t!ie ability to depart from the horizontal plane does not to theJ ordinary mind afford the slightest grojind for outlawing her especially since that circumstance is balanced by (the fact that she is as fragile as an .eggshell, and that she deliberately eschewed the right to arm herself. hfc'h voug government allows and fief And:?. "We can understand the eagerness of our enemies to rule a vessel like the Deutschland off the seas, but on what ground could your government satisfy the goo'd common sense of mankind, on what ground could it Justify itself in history, if It deprived this new type of trans-Atlantic liner of any of the rights which the old liners enjoyed? "What Is the ground upon which our enemies purpose to outlaw com mercial submarines? There is no pe culiarity about her save she can dive. Any vessel can run away from a pur suer, but the old types have run away on the surface, that's all the differ ence. You can visit and search an old-fashioned liner if you can catch her. If German genius has now fash ioned a peaceful vessel, which can hope to get away from fast armed cruisers of the enemy. Is it any reason for turning back the clock of civiliza tion and prescribing this Invention as an outlaw of the waters? It would have been precisely just as unreason able If, when the first steamship made its appearane on the Atlantic, the law of nations should have been asked to outlaw her because she could evade visit and search from the old time square rigged frigates. Surely Ameri cans have too keen a sense -of humor to subscribe to the characteristically British claim that space has only two dimensions according to the laws of war that It 13 perfectly proper to flee from a pursuer in any horizontal di rection, but very unpolite, unlawful and shocking to attempt to escape vertically.

MAY FIND A WAY Kansas Wants a Share of Federal Good Roads Appropriation. Much concern Is being expressed at the Commercial club over that part of an 85-million dollar appropriation Kansas may have for good roads for the asking and yet she can't ask be cause the constitution will not per mit the state to spend money for in ternal Improvements. The 85 million dollars is an appropriation made by the government for good roads during the next ten years. The only method known by which Kansas can dodge her constitution is for Senator Curtis to succeed in pass ing an amendment through congress providing for Kansas to apportion the appropriations among the counties and permit the county commissioners to spend the money. Such an amend ment has been introduced. Whether it has passed or not has not been learned. GLAD TO GET HOME Lite Lane Prefers Topeka Jails to Those in Canada, "Lite" Lane, the Toueka negro who bought a horse at Wakarusa with a worthless check, is back in the countv Jail, after a trip to Canada involving an experience with striped clothing. t. Ld. Kiene, sheriff, brought him back from Regina, Saskatchewan, Sunday. Lane thought he was a glad negro when he beat it out of Topeka three months ago. But he wasn't. He was really glad when he came back. I don e care what I was chareeri with," said Lane today, "I wouldn't go to Lanaaa. fay. they ain't got no re elect for a fellow up there. They ar rested me and stuck me in jail for fifty days. They put stripes on me and made me mow the lawn, clean up the officers' quarters and rtr, nil lrinc, of work. Then they fed me mush every meal in the day mush, mush, mush. I can't look a meal sack in the face. They wouldn't let me out until I had served every minute of my time. Tell me, maybe you think I wasn't glad to see Sheriff Kiene's face on the American side of the line when they deported me." Lane was tried and convicted in the district court. He was out on oond waiting for sentence. He disappeared one night and the next heard from him he was in Canada. Kate Heit man, his bondsman, was extremely anxious that he be brought back. He will be held in the county Jail until Judge G H. Whitcomb returns from his vacation, then he will be sen tenced. BANDITS CHANGE PLANS Expected Raid on Big Bend Country Kails to Materialize.

"Lon Perry, Minneapolis, Kan., age 22, and Jessie Stout, Minneapolis, Kan., afe 20. Married by the probate judge." That notation in the records of the probate judge, made Saturday after noon, is the final chapter in a story the county officials have been holding the lid over for more than a week. Considering the dynamite the officials believed there was in the case the "finis" was a flash in the pan. More than a week ago Jessie Stout, an inmate of Crittenton home, ac companied by a director of that insti tution, went to the court house, con sulted the sheriff and county attorney, then swore out a warrant for Lon Perry, charging him with being the father of her child. Robert Tasker, acting as deputy sheriff, went to Minneapolis. Kans., where Perry was working on a farm, where his parents live, and found Perry. His impression was that he was going after a bad man, one who had deliberately committed a crime and run away. "When I got there I found the county attorney, the sheriff, bankers, lawyers, merchants, farmers and everyone else ready to vouch for Lon Perry," said Tasker. "He's a fine young fellow. His parents have a big farm and he was helping thresh 200 acres of wheat. The parents of the girl think the world and all of him. He thinks the world and all of the girl and she of him. He was surprised at my mission, but was ready to ac company me back. He was ready to marry her. His parents were willing, her parents were willing, and when we got here the girl was willing." Tasker says when he took Perry out to Crittenton home he and the girl tell into each other's arms: that he help ed her pack up her things, brought her and the baby town towi, took the girl to the probate judge's office where they were married, then went to a hotel for the, night. "They're just kids, were in trouble and apparently didn't know how to gtf out." said Tasker. "That girl didn't want to punish him and I believe she was led into swearing to that com plaint by people who didn't know the circumstances. They think every thing of each other. He didn't want her to come down here a I all, but she wanted to, and he paid her expenses. She had agreed to write to him and let him know how she was getting along. But something happened, there was a misunderstanding, other people mixed in and the warrant was issued." NAME SUBCOMMITTEE Miners Put Conference on Wages Up to Four on a Side. Kansas City.

Returns are reaching the sheriffs office from two days' work by a check artist. Two $25 checks, both of them certified, have turned up so fat. The office -force expects numerous others. A man and a boy operated In and around North Topeka Friday and Sat urday. The man gave his namo as W. R. Crump. The boy drove a horse for him, a horse rented from H. E. Williams of North Topeka.

Troubles of the Topeka Baseball as sociation involving a little deficit of $15,951.04 found their way to the su preme court today, when an appeal was filed In a suit by the German American State bank against Chester Woodward. Judgment against Wood ward for $2,278.72 one-seventh of the association's indebtedness was rendered in the district court. Woodward was one of the seven directors of the baseball association which guaranteed payments of claims held by the German-American bank. When the bank felt unrest concerning its claims and was urged by the state banking department to clear its books of the account, a suit was filed against Woodward to settle the question of liability as to other officers. H. A. Auerbach, one of the seven officers of the association, had deposited funds with the bank as surety against his account. The six remaining officers signed an agreement to personally pay their share of any deficit. The original claim of the bank was for $9,800. This account did not look good to the state banking department and the bank was directed to pursue one of two courses. It might either collect the account or insist on extra security. When the matter was pre sented to the officers of the ball club, an agreement was drawn in which the seven men agreed to pay their share of any losses. All of the officers ex cept Auerbach signed the agreement. Signers of the agreement were: Ches ter Woodward, defendant In the pres ent suit; S. J. Bear. Arch M. Catlin, F. P. Metzger, Guilford Dudley and C. B. Merrlam. All are residents of Topeka. Following the signing of this agree ment, the baseball association nego tiated a loan of $3,000. A subsequent loan of $2,000 was secured. Separate agreements were signed concerning the protection of these loans by in dividual officers. Auerbach deposited extra funds with the bank. When the ball franchise was sold to John Savage, officers of the asso ciation did not pay the deficit. A suit to test the validity of the bank's claim was filed and Wocdward lost. An affirmation of the decision of the lower court means that, the individual officers of the association must pay the notes held by the bank. The judgment against Woodward was for $2,278.72 one-3eventh of the bank's claim- FEARlESCUERS LOST Boat Rushing to Save' Drowning Men Is Capsized; All Arc Missing. Charlotte, N. C.; July 17. Grave fears were felt here this afternoon that a rescue party attempting to save the twenty men engulfed in the Ca tawba river when a Southern Railway trestle went down last night, have been lost. The boat carrying the res cuers capsized and like the men in last night's accident, none of the res cuers have been found. Ten Feet Higher Than Record. Special trains laden with rescuers left this city early today, provided with boats and cable, but the torrent of the river, now ten feet higher than the highest mark known in a hun dred yeans, is too swift to permit of launching the boats. Men who went down on the trestle last night and were seen clinging to trees in mid stream are missing today. It is estimated that no less than a thousand bales of cotton passed down the river yesterday. The Southern railway trestle, twenty miles south of Charlotte, went down early today. No lives were lost. It Is estimated that twenty trestles and bridges are out within a seventy five mile radius of this city. Wheeling, W. 'a.. July 17.

MUST GOME HERE Mother Cannot Take Child to K. C. on Train. Judicial Recognition of Infan tile Paralysis Today. Judicial recognition of the dangers to children on trains or In crowds from infantile paralysis was taken by Judge A. W. Dana of the second di vision of the district court today when he granted a restraining order enjoin ing a mother from taking her child from Topeka to Kansas City. The child is the five-year-old son of D. T. and Effie Harris. The parents were divorced about two years ago and it was stipulated in the decree that the boy should remain in the custody of the mothr one month and with the father the next month. The father lives in Topeka and the mother in Kansas City. This is the mother s month to have the custody of the boy but she will be deprived of his company unless she comes to To peka. Mr. Harris, represented by Cyrus W. Monroe, appeared before Judge Dana today with a petition for a restraining order, based upon the dangers fro t infantile paralysis. Judge W as Willing. The petition cites opinions from leading medical authorities and health officers to the effect that children should be kept at home away from crowds and off trains while the epi demic continues. Mrs. Harris was not present and was not represented. Judge Dana considered the expert opinions submitted, recalled what he had read of the disease and methods for its prevention, then signed the restraining order. The order does not affect the orig Inal court order relative to the custody of the child, except for the present month. If the epdemic continue, or should reach Kansas In an alarming degree it is probable that further cr ders would be necessary. All the pres ent order does Is to enjoin the mother from taking the child to Kansas City.

The capture of the trench strength ens the new British line in this vicin ity. The British also cleared out nests of German machine gun operators who had been holding out in cellars and behind barricades In the ruins of Ovillers and La Boisselle. Otherwise the situation along the British front is unchanged at this hour. A totcil of about 100 officers and men surrendered to the British, who had steadily closed in upon them, us ing bombs and trench mortars, the Germany being short of food. In an enormous cellare at Bezantin-le-Petit, the British found several hundred wounded Germans who had taken ref uge. It was tragic business for the British litter-bearers bringing them back through the German shell fire, which was meant for the British re serves and gun positions. There were cases where a litter-bearer was wounded and put on a stretcher emp tied when a wounded German on it had been killed by the same shell. The British persisted until all who had not received a final wound in transit were safe in the rear. A cap tured record of a German battalion shows that 600 of its number were killed or wounded by the British shell fire in the bombardment before the attack began.

Woman Starts "Rough House" at a Funeral. George Hutton, the 16-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. George Hutton of Shorey, died this morning at 5:45. His death came as a result of an accident which happened Saturday morning. when a wagon which he was driving overturned on him, crushing his skull. On Saturday evening an operation was performed in the hope that the re moval of clots of blood which had formed on his brain, might save his life. He never regained consciousness after the operation. Funeral arrange ments will not bo made until the ar rival of relatives from out of the city. The Curse of Death. Six months ago "the curse of death" was hurled at Robert Harrison by his sister, Mrs. Jack Slaven, over the casket of their dead brother, Frank Harrison. "Within six months you, too, will be a corpse," she warned him. And she refused to allow Robert to attend the dead brother's funeral. The six months had no more than passed when the 13-year-old daughter of Robert Harrison found him dead in a meadow last Friday evening a vic tim of the intense heat. Sunday was the day set for Robert's funeral. It was to be held at the Har rison home, 713 Morse street, N4rth Topeka. Mrs. p. J. Marks of Colorado Springs, a sister of Mrs. Harrison ffmt,an'1 took charse. She expected trouble with Mrs. Slavens and asked for a policeman at the house during the services. inrh,S1Aan was delegated to the Job but Officer Strum attended as a friend. Mrs. Slavens was there. She had refused to allow Robert to attend S.- iUneral. of Fra"k. their brother. She had refused to allow him to at- jJlt Je funeral of her hutiband. Jack Slavens, last March. She had cursed him and predicted his death within half a year, over the casket. And when the prediction or prophecy or whatever it was, came true, she was there. When the kitchen door was opened to allow friends to march through the little house and take a last look at the features of Robert Har rison, Mrs. Slavens was first in line. Mrs. Marks was at the door. "You cannot come in," she said as Mrs. Slav ens reached the step. "My sister does not want you here." What Mrs. Slavens said is not re corded but the record of what she did is told by the holes in the screen door. Officer Strum was asked to keep her out and he took her away, screaming hysterically and cursing her relatives, one and all. She threatened to be at the grave and cause more trouble but nothing more happened. Some spec tators say she placed "the curse of death" upon Mrs. Harrison as she was taken away. Mrs. Slavens lives at 1530 North Harrison street and is the widowed mother of-seven children. Death of John F. TSuell.

Huff meandered on down the street. The patrol wagon was standing Just south of the station and Just before he reached it Huff missed the curbing and walked against the rear end of the wagon. If the door had been open he would have fallen in. "Where you going?" demanded Ab bott. "What's it to yuh?" asked Huff. "I guess you don't know where you are," said Abbott, "but you've come to the right place. This is the police station." "The it Is," grunted Huff. "I'm headed for Forty-second street." "Well, friend," said Abbott, "you're a long ways from Forty-second street, wherever that is, and you're a poor risk In your 6ondition on the street. It's the bull pen for you."

8 THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL MONDAY EVENING, JULY 17, 1916 Up to the Minute SfofttingNews From Everywhere JUST AWEE BIT But Just the Same, Omaha Has Been Pushed Down. Wichita and Topeka Both Are Down Lower This Week. Although the Savage played an Im portant part in pulling down the lead of Omaha from .623 to .615 during the last week, today finds the Topeka team one notch lower than it was last Mon day, the Savages now being only one step above St. Joe Last week was not an entirely suc cessful one for the league leaders, both Lincoln and Omaha having their percentage cut down. Des Moines and Denver were the only teams that made any notable progress. The Izzies Jumped from fourth place to third during the week and Denver went up a notch into fourth. Wichita had one of the most disastrous weeks of the midseason and dropped all the way from third to nfth. The results of the week, from Sunday to Sunday, were: The Week's Results. Topeka, won 2 and lost 4; Denver, won 4 and lost 2; Omaha, won 4 and lost 2; Lincoln, won 2 and lost 4; Wichita, won 2 and lost 3; St. Joe, lost 4 Sioux City, won 4 and lost 1 les Moines, won 3 and lost 1. After getting an even break with the Savages, Omaha lost to Denver .b,oth Saturday and Sunday, and the results of the two series would indicate that the Krug clan may be on the verge of the long expected slump. In Sunday's game O'Toole was given the second defeat he has received since oming to the league. Savages Loafed Sunday. The Savages did not get into action at Lincoln Sunday. A doubleheader bill was booked and there were 2,000 fans out to see the bargain offering, "but before the first game could be hurried to a legal affair, the umpires had to call hostilities to a close on ac count of wetness. Saturday's game, the first of the Savage series at Lincoln, was present ed to the Ducklings on boots. Four errors, made by Hall, Engle, Cochran tend DeFate gave the Holmes crew the winning runs in the fourth inning. The only two runs the Savages made came to the second inning when DeFate Vounced the ball off an outfield fence. No announcement has yet been made regarding the new pitchers that are expected to join the Savage squad. WESTERN LEAOl'K. R. H. E.

IT'S GETTING SO THESE DAYS THAT FEW PITCHERS CAN GO A FULL GAME; TWIRLING CHANGES AND PINCH HITTING ARE BOTHER P.TCUWO. able T Oo Mills WlitYH '!l A OU.T.Mr 1 er ine frsrs cr rue AM P Recently it has come to be the mode with managers to take a pitcher ont and pot in a new one on the least provocation. It Is almost remarkable when a pitcher starts and Bnishes the same same. Also there has been so audi pinch hitting for pitchers that fans are retting jolly well tired IS IT LOST ART? Big League Batting Is .Not' What It Once Was. No New Star Swatters Hare Been DeTeloped Since 1911. BY FRANK G. S1HXKE. New York, July 17. Has batting become a lost art in the big leagues? Those who have scanned clubbing records embracing the past four or five years have found that no real swatting phenom has been produced in that time. Also, they have noticed with amazement that year after year the demon maulers have suffered a shrinkage In their averages. The last real batting person to ap pear along the baseball horizon was Josephus Jackson who arrived in 1911. Since that period close to 1.000 young sters have come up from the bushes, and taken a whirl in big league life. Out of that army not one, with the possible exception of Dai'o Robertson, of the New York Giants, has shown anything remarkable in a batting way. Robertson is getting his first real trial this year. He has been banging the ball with startling regularity and look3 as If he might remain in the se lect circle of famous sluggers. But looks scmetimes are deceiving. Robert- of play at the same remarkable pace he has maintained to date, or like George Stone, of the 1906 Brownies, he may blow himself to one great year and then skid back to obscurity. No Great Stars Since 1911. When Cobb, Speaker, Jackson, Doyle, Daubert, Collins and the few other batting stars of the present time have faded and gone who will arise to take their places? Most of them have reached the crest and are going back ward. Yet no one has come in five years to fill their soon-to-be-vacant niches. While the veterans have been finding it difficult this season to main tain the same terrific pace of bygone aays, tney are not m much danger of oeing aetnronea. save Robertson none of the youngsters has enough to chal lenge. Back in the early days of the Amer ican League Lajoie was the ruler of the hitting realm. Soon Cobb came along and offered battle. A while later Tris Speaker, Eddie Collins, Frank Baker and then Joe Jackson entered the battle. But since the ap pearance of Jackson five years ago no batter of real merit has appeared along the Johnsonian frontier. It is much the same in the National League. Up to five years ago there were quite a number of swatters in that circuit who always gave Hon us Wagner a merry little battle. But they dropped by 'the wayside eventu ally. Along In 1910-11-12 Larry Doyle, Jake Daubert, Heinle Zimmer man, Fred Luderus arrived, began swatting .300 or beyond, and pushed Wagner Into the background, as La joie was pushed in the American League. Since then they have been monopolizing the top rungs in the Na tional clubbing ladder. Except on these rare occasions when men like Chief Meyers, Sherwood Magee and a few others have flashed a good year. The Statistics. The woeful falling off in batting averages during the past five years is shown best by the perusal of statistics compiled by the Baseball Magazine and printed in the August m,mhov The figures show that there were 42 men in both leagues who batted be yond .300 In 1911 against 13 last sea son. The table also points out that there were only two .325 hitters in both leagues in 1915 against 16 in 1911 a decrease of about 87 per cent. The table follows: American League.

The Ideal Bakery team defeated the Oakland team in a game in which the Ideal pitcher, Saffel, was the dis tinctive feature, the final score being 4 to 1. Saffel struck cut 23 batsmen and allowed but one hit. ONE OF WAGNER'S GREATEST PLAYS WAS PURE LUCK Fred Luderus of the Phillies says that Hans Wagner once made the greatest play he ever saw on the dia mond. At a very critical point in a game between the Phillies and the Pirates, the Phils one run behind, Ma gee on base, Lobert hit a fly twenty feet behind second. Wagner chased back, never seeing the ball at all, but guided by his remarkable baseball in stinct. He stuck out his mitt, the ball fell into it and after stumbling Wag ner turned a complete somersault, but came up still holding the ball. Sport Wheezes BY CLUO Give ua, O give us a pitcher or two. That's all we need to cop on to a few. Just imagine, if yon can, where the Rav ages would be If they had three twirlera like O'Toole. North and Mens? Such, how ever! is Impossible because they would be so far ahead thiit even the most vivid imag ination could not locate them. Speaking of our need for pitchers, a great many funs have been snyingr that Savage should not have let Lambeth go up until full. Savage's answer to such probably would be that if they want to run his club he will be glad to quote them a price on it. In the first nlace. Lambeth could not have won a pennant for us by his lonesome. 1 In the second place, the only chance for j tue lopCKa CIUU to quit ine stUBn wmntui a tllsnstrous financial showing was to sell a player and no club can be blamed for doing anvthing that he can to keep from losing a wad oi money. The number of silk shirts a ball player possesses mav not have anything to do with determining his ability bb a player. But it may be an indication of his general reputation, rroot mat suk smrts are vm uwhle assets was furnished only a short time ago. The details trail below. A certain married lady who boards at the same place "Pep-Nat" Goodwin gets his hash wheu in Topeka was in conversa tion with an enthusiastic fan. The mar ried lady yes. it Is a sad fact was not very much of a fan and didn't know very much about the game. lint she had Tier own way of estimating baseball talent. Said the married lady to the fan: "Mr. Goodwin Is one of the best players on the Topeka team, isn't he?" The fan said that he didn't know and asked the married lady why she thought he was. "Well." she replied, "i happened to be In his room yes terday while he was out and 1 noticed that he had ten silk shirts." It has been proposed that batters be given nu extra base when pitchers use the "bean ball" on them. It would be just as satisfactory to empower the umpire with authority to reward the pitcher for using the "beaner in certain instances. Tomorrow .week the Savages will be home again. You may begin to look for rain indications about that time. Thirteen games will be played on the next stand in Topeka.

All Mexico was at peace beneath the Iron rule of Diaz. That was eight years before the banishment of that ruler from Mexico by Madero. In the doorway of a little adobe hut. the home of a woodcutter, in a northern province, a girl waited for her brother, unwarned that the tragedy of which she was to be a victim, would mold the fate of a nation into a state of rev olution, starvation, murder, pillage and Intrigue. Down the road rode a horseman in the uniform of a Diaz captain. He stopped his horse before her made it rear with a jerk of the bridle reins, and smirked. She drew back, alarmed for she had heard of this captain and his exploits with women. Another moment and he was off his horse. Five more minutes and she lay inside the hut, murdered and outraged, after a struggle and bc reams. But as the captain stepped from the doorway, he met a man, a short, stocky built man, who had the blade of a scythe in his hand. The captain drew his jewel hilted nwortl. The Oath of Vengeance. "Dog," he jeered. The man with the scythe said noth ing, but squared himself away. A duel, one of the strangest duels the world has ever known, began with one man. the captain, on the defen sive with his light cavalry saber, and the other beating back his opponent with the blade of a scythe. The wood cutter made a thrust that pierced the captain's heart and as the soldier fell the former staggered into the house, knelt over the bleeding form of his sister, and faced the little Roman Catholic cross on the wall. 'I swear by the Virgin Mary I will make Diaz and his dogs pay." That was the oath of Francisco Villa. The story was told in Topeka today by Perry M. Ross, an Ameri can, who for several years acted as newspaper censor and financial agent for "Pancho" Villa, when he was the mightiest man in Mexico, as Perry claims he is yet, Ross heard, the story from Villa's lips. Ross arrived here this morning. He has been a newspaper correspondent with Funston's troops for the Chica go Tribune until five days ago and went into Mexico with Dodd's cavalry when it made its dash after the Co lumbus raiders. The Idol of Mexico. Ross describes Villa as the idol of all Mexico and the most powerful man there. "Villa is the only man who can rule the country," Ross said. "He is in command personally of 10,000 men now and he will have Chihuahua City In less than two weeks. When he reaches the outskirts of the city he will send word he is coming. The loyal Carranzistas will take the next train out of town. But there will be but few loyal Carranzistas. The most of the garrison there will stay and join Villa. "A few years ago when Villa was in command of all Mexico he would have established a government that would have been responsible. When the United States turned him down and recognized Carranza he became an outlaw more than ever. He was GUNS AS WELL AS Tralnload of gun on war to border; loading field pieco on flat eat. Not only soldiers by tens of thcrsands, bnt field guns by hundreds have been sent to the Mexican border during the past few weeks. These pictures show some of the ffuna of the Indiana national guard- as th Hoosier boys left Camn Benjamin Harriion, near Indianapolis. jerked from the rulership arid made a bandit tnrougn no lauit or nis own. "Villa is the Jesse James.ot Mexico. "He fought Diaz for eight years" be fore that ruler was ousted by Madero because a captain of the Diaz forces had murdered his sister. All" that time Diaz had a price on' his head. He is fishting; the United States now because the United States is oppress ing him. Xot at Columbus. "I have positive -proof Villa did not lead the .Columbus raid," 'said -Ross. Besides other things I have a letter from Villa written two days before the raid. When he wrote. Villa was on the Bustillos ranch, which is owned by the Madero brothers, and is located 350 miles south of the border. Villa could not possibly have made that march in two days. "As things stand now the only solu tion of the Mexican problem is inter vention. Not an attempt to conquer the country and then withdraw, but the United States must exile Carranza and take charge of affairs for eight or ten years. "The newspaper censorship on the border is tight. Funston is running it. When he wants to give anything out he does and if he doesn't he doesn't, that's all. "To my personal knowledge there have been three motor truck drivers killed in a short time while conveying food to General Pershing. Only one of the deatns has been reported. That, is just an example. "If a reporter writes anything with out the sanction of the censor ho is presented with his walking papers. By Arizona Mexicans. "Getting back to the Columbus raid, I haven't the least doubt that it was engineered mostly by Arizona Mexi cans. Twenty or more hats worn by the Mexicans who were killed bore the trade mark of an Arizona retail mer chant. I drt not believe Villa led it or even authorized It "The greatest danger we have on the border is the hypenated Mexicans the kind that come to this country and work a while and then go back into Mexico and start a rebellion of their own. "The border is alive with secret service men and Mexican spies who are playing a game of hide and seek without much results. One steps up to a storekeeper and expresses his opinions and finds his man is a secret service man. "A press dispatch given out in Wash ington said the government is spend ing $20,000 in establishing a secret service branch there. The amount is nearer $2, 000. 000." Ross left' Topeka this afternoon for Kansas City and will go from there to Chicago. He expects to go to the bor der again soon. "A little nonsense, you know, is relished by the best of men." "Yes." replied Senator Sorphum. "But some of us get so proud of our own particular product tlint we wnnt it taken seriously. Washing ton Star. SOLDIERS HAVE GONE TO HOLD 30,000 BACK No More Guardsmen Are, To Be Sent to Border. Funston "Sow Has 160,000 3Ien Under His Command. VILLA MOVING NORTHWARD Trevino Sends an Army Check Bandit's Advance. to Japanese Are Said To Be Flock ing to Mexico Now. Washington, July 17. A significant report reaching Washington came in a telegram from General Pershing, transmitted by General Funston, which said that General Trevino had sent an army south to check Villistas advancing northward. While this report showed activity on the part of Trevino that was gratify ing to officials, it was accepted also as evidence that the Villasta revolu tionary movement is assuming more menacing proportions. General Fun ston's telegram follows: "Pershing reports seventeen Car ranza prisoners captured by bandits were recaptured near Chihuahua. (Presumably by Carranzistas). Also reports that Trevino has sent many troops south with the -intention of c cupying a line between Guerrero, Ban Berja and Santa Rosalia against any possible northward advance of. Vil listas." Active Campaign Urged. Chihuahua papers urge the necess sity of active campaign against bandits in order to prevent their menacing the United States forces on the border. While the state and war depart ments have issued no official state ments with reference to the new Villa revolutionary campaign, it is apparent that this feature of the Mexican situa tion is the one causing the greatest apprehension at the present time. Unless the northward march of Villa's forces is checked officials real ize that an attack on General Persh ing's army or a fresh attack on the border may precipitate the conflict which the administration Is trying to avoid through the commission plan peace conferences planned between the United States and Carranza. From authoritative sources it was learned today that General Funston now has an army of approximately MEXICAN BORDER 160,000 under his command. This is sufficient, officials believe, to meet any situation that may arise. Hold Back Reserves. There are approximately 100,000 militia on the border and from 25,000 to 30,000 remaining in state camps. In addition to this there are about 60,000 regular army troops in Mexico and on the border. The army on the border has swelled sufficiently to enable thfr.war depart ment to check the movement of. troops until all remaining units are fully prepared to move. The follow ing order was sent by the war depart ment to department commanders to day, countermanding earlier orders to hasten the departure of troops: "Those militia organizations which have not yet been sent to the border will be held in their mobilization camps until completely equipped and ready in every respect to move." In explanation of this order it was stated that previous orders had been to send militia to the border when "reasonably ready." This order' was given at a time when there was urgent necessity of speed. Militia organiza tions were sent down before fully re cruited and some were sent without full equipment and without complete physical examination. Release Married Men. Under the new order the physically unfit will be weeded out before the militia goes to the border. It Is be lieved the married men claiming ex emption on account of dependent families will also be given discharges in state camps permitting the organi zations to recruit up-to strength with men who will stick. The war department has expressed gratification at the progress of militia recruiting. A report that the govern ment was considering invoking- the draft as ;-a means of recruiting "the militia to 'war strength was denied. j:'If Reports received here through of ficial channels today show that Jap anese are colonizing in' Mexico in forte. One. official report said 85 Japanese iii one party had landed in Mexico at a west coast port. Others have arrived in smaller parties at ports widely scattered on the coast. "While Americans were coming out, the Japanese were goins in," one offi cial said. It was apparent officials looked on this colonization movement with some concern, especially since the recent official report showing Japanese partly responsible for the attack on American officers from the gunboat Annapolis at Mazatlan gave evidence of hostility toward Ameri cans among Japanese In Mexico. MORE BRITISH HOLDUPS Seize Mails of Neutral Ships Bound for Manila and New York. Manila, July 17. The Spanish ves sel Eizagulrre, reported upon arrival at Iloilo, that the British authorities of Singapore had taken off BOO pack ages of a cargo bound for Manila. The consignee here believes the customs authorities will await the arrival of the Eizaguirre at Manila before taking any action. The British steamer Chinese Prince from which the British authorities at Penang removed cargo consigned to Manila is still detained here pending the filing of a bond as security for a fine of 50.000 pesos, levied last week by the collector of customs. Oscar II, "Peace Sliip," a Victim. Berlin, July 17. The entire first class mail of the Danish liners Fred erik VIII for New T,ork and Oscar II, formerly the Ford peace junket Vessel, from Xew York was confiscated by the British authorities, the postmaster general of Denmark reports, according to the Overseas News ay5ncy today. A report from the Norwegian postal authorities given out by the same agency states that the mail of the line Bergensfjord, from New York also has been confiscated- by the British. EVEN LOSES FLOWERS New Gardiner Takes Place of Marion Lambert's Broken-Hearted Father. Chicago. 111., July 17. When Mar ion Lambert died, her father, broken with grief, carried his sorrow to the flowers which were his care and his solace on the Kuppenheimer estate in Lake Forest. Through the long Orpet trial 'a. trial which could not benefit Frank Lambert, no matter how it came out he found his only relief. And now he is to lose the flowers, too, and his home, and his living. A new gardiner appeared today at the Kuppenheimer estate. He is Her man Siefert. A reporter talked with him as he. approached the conserva tory: "I've taken Mr. Lambert's place," said Siefert. "I'm just on my way now to lock up the green houses. Mr. Lambert isn't there regularly, any more. He's just doing a few little chores around, you -know. I'll move into-tae-Lamtjert house pretty soon. I'm waiting now for Mr. Lambert to move." It is said fbat Mr. Lambert is no longer useful -even -among the,, flow ers that Jie cherishes. His health is rkew by. the long -Tn-deat-that he has endured' and lie has aged rapidly in the last few months. His wife also is 'in a pitiable condition..- Probably they will not be forced to spend the last years of their life in destitution, however, for it is said that tbey have, distant relatives in Evanaton who will provide a home for them.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNALMONDAY EVENING, JULY 17,1916 10 TO HELTWORKER Urge Industrial Preparedness for Toilers' Welfare. HUGHES' SUCCESSOR ON HIGH BENCH IS 59, A DEMOCRAT AND A BACHELOR Missouri Labor Commissioner Advocates Many Reforms. '"Buffalo, N. T.. July 17. Industrial preparedness to insure the health and welfare of factory and shop tollers waJ urged before the Association of Governmental Labor officials of the United States and Canada today by John T. Fitzpatrick, secretary-treasurer, in his annual report. Mr. fitz patrick. who is the state labor com missioner of Missouri, asked that all the- means in the possession of the delegates be used to bring about the enactment of legislation establishing labor bureaus, industrial commis sions, factory inspections, workmen compensation commissions, arbitration and mediation boards, welfare com missions, employment bureaus, and employment agency inspections. Congress: Measures to Help. -Industrial preparedness means ade quate and equitable provisions for the health, safety, welfare and well being of our toilers, whether they be in the mill, mine, factory, workshop, railroaa or field," he said. "It means that our natural resources will provide condi tions for the toiler permitting him to become proficient in the performance of an active citizenship interested in the well being of others and in a good, stable, virile government. Legislation now pending in con gress that will tend to advance this was outlined by Mr. Fitzpatrick. He referred to the measure to establish a bureau of safety, bills establishing public employment exchanges and regulating private employment agen cies engaged in interstate business and the McGillicudy bill providing compensation for injured workmen. Conserve Human Resources, Too. "The measures referred to, as do all other meritorious labor bills, shape themselves to fit as a part into that great structure of preparedness, he said "Are our natural resources to be taken over entirely by private or individual interests and developed for th benefit of a few or to remain idle, unknown, with thousands in industry losing opportunities and causing our human resources to become wasted? Or shall both our natural resources and our human resources be encour aged under the proper regulations, ad vancing to that developmnt which will prepare them for any exigency?' The convention, which is to continue four days, started this morning. It will discuss various industrial prob GUNS GREET BOOTLEGGERS Railroad Police Ordered to Carry Rifles to Kesist Booze Venders.

The American tank steamship Gold Shell, which struck a mine off the mouth of the Gironde last week, while on her way from Newport News for Bordeaux with a cargo of oil, has been exam ined and found not to have been dam aged seriously. The explosion oc curred under the forehold. The cargo is intact except for a small leakage Cro ma few tanks. v Ax, V J I VSs vr- r f I sir- y Judge Jobn H. Clark Cleveland, O., July 17. (Special) John Hessian Clarke, who has been selected by President Wilson to suc ceed Charles E. Hughes as associate justice of the United States supreme court, is fifty-nine and a bachelor. The only political office he has ever held is the United States district judgeship in the Cleveland court to which he was elevated two years ago this month by President Wilson. Judge Clarke has long been a leader in the Democratic party in this city and state. He was several times a candidate for United States senator, being a candidate against the late M. A. Hanna in 1903. His candidacy two years ago was nipped by his ao pointment to the federal bench. Judge Clarke was born at Lisbon, O., September 18, 1857. His father was prominent as a lawyer and a Democrat. Mr. Clarke attended Western Reserve university and was graduated in 1877. He was admitted to the Ohio bar the following year and two years later moved to Toungstown, where he practiced law until his re moval to Cleveland nineteen years ago. After coming to Cleveland Clarke was for a number of years chief counsel to the Nickel Plate railroad and as such came to be termed a "corporation lawyer" by his political enemies. His friends, however, have contended that his railroad connec tions have in no way bound hira to the "interests" and point to the fact that while he was attorney for the Nickel Plate during his campaign for the senate against M. A. Hanna he urged the enactment of a two-cent railroad fare law and other legislation that In those days was regarded as even more radical than at present. Two years ago when he decided to be a candidate for the United States senate, piioi to his appointment as federal judge here, Mr. Clark issued a statement embodying the declara tion of principles on which he ex pected to make his fight for the nom ination. In this statement he said: "I shall ask the support of the people because I favored progressive measures when it was far from popu lar to do so. I favored the direct election of United States senators in the first arguments made for the measure in an Ohio Democratic con vention in 1894 and was almost mob bed for doing so. I have lived very comfortably without office through what is certainly the greater part of my life and I should not care to en ter public life except in answer to a very substantial call to serve the public with as much freedom of opinion as I have always expressed in my unofficial life."

"Topeka. a second Battle Creek in the manufacture of cereals, is a pos sibility," Scott Hopkins, president of the Prudential Trust Company, de clared today. "Situated as we are in the heart of a great wheat country," Mr. Hopkins said, "Topeka should be ideal as a location for cereal mills. And yet Kansans get their breakfast food from Michigan. If Kansas people would put their surplus into such an enter prise instead of using it to enrich De troit automobile manufacturers, we soon could have a flourishing indus try for Topeka and there would be steady employment for a large number of people. "Kansas Is letting slip opportunity after opportunity such as this. Kan sas has the money to finance factories and mills. It is lack of enterprise, not lack of capital, that prevents us from ranking as a great manufacturing state." Among other opportunities Mr. Hopkins mentioned the making of al falfa flour, the establishment of a factory for using the by-products of corn. Corn pith, used as "backing" for the armor plate used in battleships has given rise to a flourishing indus try in the east. Weekly Bank Clearings. New York. July 17.
