Net Over City. Immediately upon the receipt of this information Chief Harvey Par sons spread a net over the city for the three mentioned by Entes. Hazel is supposed to be living at a number nn Central avenup. in North Topeka. but she was not there when a quiet investigation was made this afternoon. Kstes and his pal. Repp, were cap tured in a vacant house at 4311 East Tenth street, Ka nsas City, Mo., last niht without a serious fight. Al though all neighbors supposed the house was vacant Kstes fcnd Repp have been staying there for some time. They have not used the doors to the hoUfe. It has been their custom. Etes waid. to enter the bouse through a. basement window at night and come up through a trap door under a bed. Guns In the House. Suit cases filled with guns and am munition were found In the supposed ly vacant house when the arrests were made. No money of any consequence wns found. The officials of the St. Marys bank gave out the information following the robbery that the total amount of money taken from the blown safe was around $2,o0. There have been many rumors since that the amount was much in excess of that. Wounded hi Fight. Half a dozen St. Marys people, in cluding Marshal Best, were wounded by the robbers while the yeggman was doing his work on the bank safe. Marshal Best was shot through the body and was brought to a Topeka hospital. A gun batue between the robbers and St. Marys officers and citizens lasted for half an hour, be fore the robbers walked four abreast down the main street to the Ford car and started back east. In the Interviews given by St. Marys people several stated that one of the robbers was referred to by the others as "Bill.". Various other in formation secured following the rob bery fits in with the alleged con fession of Charles Estes. Estes has been dodging local officers since an escapade last spring when he fought with a man, killed his dog and drove his horse and wagon into Soldier creek where the horse drowned. Kstes an Ex-Convict. Estes is an ex-convict and has long been looked upon as an exceptionally bad man by local officers. Hazel Estes, his sister, who he says drove the car for the four men the night of the robbery, was mixed up with Wm. Butler and others in the "blowing" of the Fritton safe in Topeka last spring. She testified in the case but refused to say anything that would injure Butler. She admitted she was Butler's sweetheart and that she was with him the night of the robbery of the Frit ton safe. For a long time she took lunches to Butler regularly in the county jail. A significant thing, in view of Charles Estes' confession, is the discovery to (Coutluued on Fase fixj WORK FORTOPEKA Prominent Democrats Favor Land Loan Bank Here. James W. Orr of Atchison Says He'll Do His Utmost. SENATOR PRICE FOR REGISTRAR Emporia Banker Given Support in New Position. Activities of members of the To peka Commercial club this morning in their fight to locate a big land loan bank in Topeka, brought to light that a number of Democrat politicians In Kansas are endeavoring to obtain an appointment for Senator W. M. Price of Emporia as registrar for this state or district. It is not known whether each state shall have a registrar or one registrar will be appointed for each district and field deputies ap pointed for various states upon the recommendation of Democrat con gressmen and senators. J. Will Keliey, secretary of the Commercial club .telephoned to James W. Orr at Atchison this morning and requested the Atchison man to enter into the fight for Topeka. Mr. Orr expressed a willingness to do his ut most for Topeka and at the same time announced that a determined effort is being made to get the registrar's job for the Emporia politician and banker. S. E. Cobb, chairman of the committee of the Commercial club to present statistics to the federal board, also learned during the morning that wire pulling is in progress for Sena tor Price. Helvering Volunteers. Congressman Guy T. Helvering was the first to answer Mr. Kelley's tele gram. "I will endeavor to do my best to get the bank for Topeka," Congress-1 man Helvering's telegram read. Charles E. Lobdell, president of the First National bank at Great Bend and a candidate for appointment on the farm loan board, will be in To peka Friday to attend the ceremonies connected with the laying of the cor nerstone for Topeka's new Masonic li brary. At that time Mr. Cobb and members of his committee, who will be appointed during the week, will consult with Mr. Lobdell. Can Point the Way. The Great Bend man has been in Washington in the interests of his appointment and undrstands the new bill from A to Z. Important informa tion is expected from him relative to the nature of the data that should be prepared for the consumption of the federal board when the time arrives for selection of a location for the bank. Already Mr. Cobb is compiling in formation from farm mortgage com panies, the state tax commission, the secretary of the state board of agri culture and Insurance companies re garding the logical location of Topeka as a center, for a bank of this nature. Mr. Cobb estimates roughly that the farm mortgages listed in Kansas will asgregate from $70,000,000 to $80, 000,000. "A more logical location could not be found," said Mr. Cobb. "Topeka is in the center of a country tnat Is full of young men anxious to get onto farms and young men of good char acter, good risks for loans. The Kan sas farms will prosper more if they become smaller, say an average of eighty acres for every man. Ultimate ly farms of that size will be found throughout Kansas and the placing of the federal bank in a town accessible to the farmers will hasten this end."

THOUSANDS IN LEASES BOOM OIL PROSPECTS Wealthy Ohioan Slips Into To peka and Takes 8,000 Acres. Eastern Interests ow Have 18,000 Acres in Shawnee. NEXT WELL ON LOCAL HOLDINGS Excitement Over Jieiswanger-TreleaYen-Switzer-Kiene Tract. Jfo Attempt to Sell Stock Is Valuable. -Land Excitement among Topeka oil men and business men at the Commercial club over Shawnee county's prospec tive oil wells became more Intense this week when the news leaked out that Fred W. Worthington, a wealthy Ohio oil man, had slipped into the county and picked up 8,000 acres of Shawnee county leases. Mr. Worth ington's leases adjoin the 10,000 acres of J. W- Renker and eastern interests and 4,000 acres owned jointly by L. G. Treleaven, John F. Switzer, Guy Kiene, Valencia, and W. A. Neis wanger, a Topeka real estate dealer. This makes approximately 22,000 acres of oil leases in the southwestern part of the county. So far as is known those !nterested In the leases are not attempting to 'sell any stock and the investments are made in good faith, based upon their belief, backed by geologists, that oil exists in Shaw nee county. The drilling in charge of Mr. Renker on the Flicklnger farm is under way and a well has been sunk 400 feet already. Mr. Renker is now in New York city consulting with partners in the oil leases .owned In Kansas. Big Interests. Another Important oil deal which has come to liht, strengthens the belief that there is oil in Shawnee county. The 4,000 acres leased by Treleaven, Swifter, Kiene and Neis wanger adjoin the Renker leases. When Renker sank his well on the Flickinger farm he selected a spot only half a mile from the holdings of the Topeka people. Instantly they busied themselves and recently a deal has been effected by which Renker acquires a share in the leases and will be the operating head. Should oil be found in the well now being sunk, or if the signs that, oil is near are favorable, the next well will go down on the holdings of Tre leaven, Switzer, Kiene and Neis wanger. Work on Stone Leases. Then twenty-five miles to the west of these holdings the old leases ob tained by Robert Stune and others are being worked by oil men. The an nouncement was made a week ago that a local company had been grant ed a charter with $100,000 capital for sinking wells in Shawnee county. The personnel of the company includes George E. Clark, H. G. West, E. C. Arnold, C. S. Ellrott and H. W. Seery. The company holds 11,000 acres of leases north of Slver Lake. Drilling will be resumed at Over brook Monday. FRISCO R. R. SALE i Y.

Auditorium, St. Paul, Minn., July 19. The Prohibition national convention got down to real politics at its opening session today. The fight between J. Frank Hanly of Indiana and William Sulzer of New York for the party's presidential nomination developed some old style wire pulling and rough and tumble negotiations. Sulzer was speeding to St. Paul, it was stated, hoping to arrive here in time to prevent Hanly adherents from nominating their candidate one day ahead of the scheduled time for nomi nations. Sulzer men caucused prior to opening the convention today and. after counting noses, said there were enough supporters of the New Yorker to give Hanly a hot fight. If Hanly is nominated, Virgil C. Hmshaw will remain as chairman of the national committee. Religion Mixes In. Religious bitterness was mixed into the convention again today. The American Federation of Patriotic So cieties, an anti-Catholic organization, which is supporting Sulzer, has many representatives on .the ground. Pro hibition, woman suffrage and govern ment ownership of munitions plants were advocated today in Daniel E. Poling's keynote speech opening the convention.

Thom, general counsel of the South ern railway, Robert 8. Lovett, head of the Union Pacific system, and Frank Trumbull, chairman of the railroad exeeutivetrtf some provisions of the Clayton anti-trust act post poned until the railroad situation is further investigated. The railroad officials told the presi dent they considered sections of the act conflicting. One provides that after October 15 common carriers shall not have any dealings in supplies, nor make contracts for construction and maintenance amounting to more than $50,000 a year with corporations hav ing officials or employes connected with the common carrier, unless the transactions are carried on by com petitive bidding under rules prescribed by the interstate commerce commis sion. The other relates to the con trol of corporations engaged in com mercial purpose of lessening compe tition. The president was requested to co operate in asking congress to postpone the operation for the former section for two years until the joint commit tee of congress created for the pur pose of investigating the entire rail road problem has an opportunity to port. RESCUE FOUR MINERS Imprisoned '41 Hours, Reached liggers Early Today. by Joplin, Mo., July 19. Four men who have been imprisoned in the Bab cock mine near here since 2 o'clock Monday afternoon were rescued alive at 7:15 o'clock this morning. The men did not appear exhausted by their vigil of forty-one hours, with out light, food or water, and were able to walk to their homes. The res cue party first talked with the men through the barrier of dirt that sep arated them from the shaft at 4 o clock this morning. Unon heine told that they would be reached with- in a few hours and that physicians and ambulances were kept in waiting the prisoners declared they intended to walk home and asked that the phy sicians be sent away. Rescuers More Weary Than Rescued. A large crowd, brought together by the news that the men were alive and would be rescued soon, i was awaiting at the shaft's mouth when the men came up one at a time. Cheer after cheer rang out as they stepped from the mine car that had brought them to the sunlisht again. The release of the imprisoned min ers followed ar. exciting battle with tons of dirt and rock by rescue crews which worked in short relays. Some of the rescuers had remained contin uously in the shaft since the cave-in and appeared more tired today than did those for whose safety they had worked so hard. "We did not suffer much except for lack of water," Howard Gideon, one of the four, said. "We had no Idea as to the time, as we could not see our watches. But what worried us most was the fact that the wife of one of the men was ill when he left home Monday." JTever Knter Mine Again. The other three miners are Morgan Wood, W. E. Bowers and Barron Gid eon. The Gideon brothers came here from Springfield, Mo a few weeks ago. "We are going back to Springfield right away," one of them announced.

Russian forces have crossed the Carpathian moun tains for the first time since their de feat by the Germans a year ago, and have entered Hungary after a day of marching, the Petrograd correspond ent of the Evening Star reported to day. The swift Russian advance into Hungary threatens the rear of the Austrians and the Austrian lines northeast of the mountains, the cor respondent added. Mud Handicaps Austrians. Petrograd, July 19. For the first time since the Russian retreat from the Carpathians more than a year ago, Russian forces are again ham mering at the Carpathian mountain passes, barring the way into Hungary. On a sixty mile front, extending from the Jablonitza Pass in a south easterly direction to Kirlababa, Rus sian and Austrian detachments are in constant clash. The main Russian line is rapidly drawing near the moun tain barrier. After vain efforts to bring up artil lery over the muddy mountain roads, the Austrians have fallen back from the region southwest of Kuty and are retreating into tne mountains. The Austrian front has been completely oroKen in tne ueiatyn section, twenty miles north of Jablonitza Pass. Germans Use Gas Clouds Effectively. London, July 19. The Germans have recaptured a portion of Delville Wood and obtained a footing in the northern outskirts of Longueval, the war office announced today. Several German regiments struck a heavy blow at the British right wing north of the Somme last night in a determined effort to dislodge General Haig's troops from their positions on the Bapaume Bray highway. The attack was preceded by a storm of gas DomDS ana lachrymose shells. -The Germans drove forward in an effort to batter in the British line and insert a wedge at the point where British and French lines united.

RAIN FALLS TODAY Temperature Took Tumble to 73 This Afternoon. The extreme hot period which has made Kansas swelter beneath cloud less skies by day and warm, sultry nights was badly fractured today, S. D. Flora, forecaster, said. The temperature took a sudden tumble this afternoon shortly before 2 o'clock and at that time It tell to 73, cooler than the lowest temperature last night. The cause of the fall was a cool and welcome Vain which fell on all parts of the city. At 2 o'clock the precipitation measured .3 of an inch. The air was extremely cool and the mercury still falling slightly. S. D. Flora, forecaster, said there was a condition in the weather this morning that might make this after noon's rain something more than a local shower. Local showers are grow ing more frequent over the state. Cooler weather prevails in the most of Kansas. There is a possibility of more showers tonight. There was a fifteen mile wind this afternoon. Topeka slept the term can be used by courtesy only through another hot night. The lowest temperature was 74 at 5 o'clock this morning. Shortly after that hour the mercury started on a steady climb which land ed at 86 degrees at 9:30 o'clock. That spurt proved a false alarm. The temperature did not go above 86 and tomorrow will not be warmer. The eky was cloudy all morning and at 8:30 o'clock a twelve-mile wind was blowing from the northeast, after changing from the south at 5 o'clock. At 10 o'clock the wind was blowing eight miles an hour. These conditions, combined with the fact that the weather promises to be threatening this afternon and tonight, will make the night a fine one for sleep, Mr. Flora says. However, the forecaster promises no relief from the drouth. There may be a few scattered showers over the state, but they will not be measurable, it is thought. This date in 1887 was a memorable one in weather history in this state. The lowest temperature and highest for the date was recorded then. In the morning it was 58 degrees and raced to 103 in the afternoon. The weather forecast is partly cloudy and cooler. Thursday fair, with no ram of consequence. Scattered showers, some of which were moderately heavy, have fallen in western and northern Kansas in the last 24 hours. Temperatures of 100 degrees and higher yesterday are re ported from the greater part of the state, while a few stations- reported lower temperatures than 70 degrees last night.

Reports for This Summer Are Below the Average. 10 TO 30 YEARLY SINCE 1910 But Never Before Has an Epi demic Been Feared. Situation in East Is Cause of New Concern. Infantile paralysis Is u matter of less concern this year than during any season In seven years, so far aa Kansas is concerned. That was the statement today of Dr. S. J. Crum blne, secretary of the state board of health. The statement was based on official reports of the last seven years. Seven cases this month and nine cases since June 1 is the state's record for the year. Reports of the last two weeks have been slightly above nor mal for this season or the year, but returns for the summer are below the average. In June several weeks be fore the big scare in New York two cases of Infantile paralysis were re ported in Kansas. The matter nrrii. sioned such slight concern that no special mention was made of the dis ease in the June reports. Since 1910,, the state has averaged from ten to thirty cases of Infantile paralysis a year. During none of these yeare has the disease assumed the pro portions of an epidemic. All cases were in widely separated communi ties and no trace was shown of distri bution of the disease through contact. Conditions In the state since 1910 have been similar to those now facing the state board of health. Because there was no general alarm concerning the spread of the disease, the situation oc-, casioned only passing concern in Kan- Kpidemic In 1909-10. In 1909 and 1910, conditions in Kan sas were similar to epidemic form. Doctor Crumbine stated. During those years several cases were reported from local communities and there was evi dence of a spread of the disease through contact. No such conditions exist in the state at this time. "Records since 1910 have shown an average of from ten to thirty cases a year in widely separated communi ties," said Doctor Crumbine. "Condi tion this year are no worse than in former seasons, only a more general concern is felt because of the situation facing large cities in other states. Of course if the record of the last two weeks should continue during the summer, the record for the year would probably be above normal. But there is nothing to Indicate that such a con dition will be presented." In event the state should face an epidemic, it might be necessary to rely on private contributions to fight the disease. There is a very limited sup ply of money available for use by the state board. Recent legislatures have given far more attention to the health of cattle, hogs and horses than to the health of Kansas babies. Cut Off the 1'und. During the 1918 legislature, -a Dem ocrat ways and means committee cut off the state board's contingent fund of 16,000 a year. The Rfmihllinn legislature of 1915 showed an equal in uettiLfi conaitions. Although Dr. Crumbine pleaded with the ways and means committee for the restoration of his contingent fund, the law makers were pledged to strict economy and refused to provide the money. The same legislature also held up an emergency appropriation for the state tuberculosis sanitarium and for nearly two months delayed the opening of the state institution. The same law makers, almost with out consideration or debate, voted $60,000 for immediate use in fighting the foot and mouth disease among cattle and provided that thw state might issue bonds in an additional amount of $260,000 an even quarter of a million for stamping out the disease.

Warm commenda tion of the -work done In Kusslan Po land by -the. Germans during the pe "rlod of occupation was given by Dr. .jKarl Helfferich, secretary of the in ferior and the Imperial vice chancel ilor, today on his return from a visit to that country. Z Doctor Helfferich, who recounted the impressions of his visit to a mem SJoer of the Overseas News agency staff, i contrasted the condition of the coun try under Russian rule with the state "of affairs there today. In the time of peace before the outbreak of the I present war, the Russians had neg lected the country, said Doctor Helf- ferich. Then came the period of hos tilities which had devastated the land. '.'Under these conditions the Germans took up their work, which the vie v chancellor insisted has been accom J'plished with a success which could 'find few parallels In history. I Rnin In Retreat.' ft: The retreating Russians. Doctor Helfferich pointed out, had burned """villages and towns and destroyed the The Germans first built roads through the devastated territory and I supplied cattle and seeds to the in j Habitants, with the result that now one "frequently could see herds of a hun dred or more cattle, while fields of I standing grain were on all sides. Hs j cited an instance of aid given the ln j habitants by the Germans, the farm ers of one district being left the horses ?of two regiments for field work on l orders given by General Ludendorff. x Doctor Helfferich said he found i schools everywhere now even at places 1 where none were maintained when the Russians ruled the country. The Uni 'verslty of Warsaw; where lectures were given in the Polish tongue, had a large number of students. All nationalities, Doctor Helfferch I said, were given equal recognition 3 with the white Russians and Lithuan- 4 ians. Terrible suffering existed among i the Jews when the Germans arrived, s the vice chancellor declared, and in J most towns they had been excluded. f Self Government, j The Germans, he added, introduced j self government In the country for the first time and admitted Jewish rep resentatives to the governmental I bodies. I Doctor Helfferich pointed to what he characterized as absolute neglect i of hveiena bv the Russians, instann. 3 ing the condition at Lodz, where there were virtually no sanitary conven iences, no sewage system and no wa- terworks, although the city was one i of 500,000 inhabitants. 5 The Germans on the other hand had j given the population instruction re- garding the value of hygienic and san iitary measures and with the assistance i of clergy has established isolation bar i racks for contagious diseases, espec ially for cases of spotted typhoid, which disease now was decreasing in f frequency of appearance. German physicians who had died as a result of these epidemics had not lost their lives in vain.' Doctor Helfferich de clared another disease, cholera, has .been completely stamped out. Public Newspapers. Other work done by the Germans consisted in the institution of self gov- erning counties and towns, the open ing of town councils and the encour agement of the publication of a large number of newspapers in the Polish language, while the Russian govern ment, a short time before, had sup pressed the last remaining newspaper In that language. "Thus I found everywhere in the i distressed country," concluded Dr. Helfferich. "the fruits of German energy and administration. I am glad to state that the Germans did work equal to the successes of their army by establishing order, safety and peace t behind the front and by alleviating 1 the miseries of war to the population."

One of the most striking episodes of the great Somme offensive was the taking of the field fort at Biaches and the garrison of 113 men, by nine French soldiers. The fort had resisted throughout the artil lery bombardment and the infantry attacks had been checked by murdr ous gun fire. By a lucky chance a French officer discovered the precious secret that the terrible bombardment had made the fort vulnerable at one point. Selecting a second lieutenant, two sergeants a corporal and four men, he led them, on hands and knees, through the long grass to the spot where he knew there was a breach in the defenses. They reached their objective point without the Germans learning or tneir approach. Abruptly three of the French of ficers leaped into the works shouting: "Forward with the bayonet,' throw ing bombs which exploded in the dug out. Captors Feel Nervous. The other six Frenchmen remained behind ready to retreat if the attempt failed. But the Germans, taken un awares, had no time to get their weapons and surrendered almost with out a show of fight. When one of their number fell, shot by a revolver fired pointblank by the commanding officer, the Germans, 113 in all, came out of their shelters and threw up their hands, the French assert. The three French captors now be gan to feel nervous, as they saw no reason why the Germans should not fall upon and exterminte them. But at this moment the other six hurried in. Their resolute energy imposed upon the Germans, who believed that the new arrivals were to be followed by many others. The German officers In the fort then threw down their arms and the entire garrison was marched to the French rear escorted by the nine captors who had not lost a man. SNIPING ALONG BORDER Mexicans Draw Fire of Americans on fUo Grande. El Paso, Tex., July 19.

The weekly report of weather and crop conditions issued out of Topeka today reads: This was a week of hot days and comparatively warm nights in all parts of Kansas. It was the third week in succession with no good rain over the state. Local showers were numerous but they were too light to be of any benefit except in a very few places. Temperatures of 100 degrees, and higher were reported from a great many stations. Harvest Over Threshing Begun. Wheat harvest has been finished except in the extreme northwestern counties, where it is fully half done. Threshing has begun in all parts un der favorable conditions with yields generally reported to be better than were expected both as to quantity and quality. About 50 per cent of the crop is threshed in the southern counties, but, as a rule, not more tahn 10 to 25 per cent is completed in the nothern. Oats are also cut and are being threshed with yields that range from excellent in the northeast part to very poor in the south central. Corn Tasseling Needs Rain. Corn is approaching its most criti cal period of development and is be ginning to need rain badly. In the southeast part of the state from one- halt to two-tniras or it is in tassel and about 5 per cent, of it is in-the roasting ear stage. In the northern and western counties from 10 to 25 per cent. is in tassel and ears are forming on the early planted. The continued warm, sunshiny weather was favorable to a rapid growth of the crop in the eastern half of the state, where there was sufficient moisture in the soil in most counties, but west of the center of the state corn has not fared so well, and in several counties its leaves and tas sels are drying up. In the extreme western counties conditions are better, as the crop is not so far advanced there and that part of the state received more rain this week than the eastern. Too Dry for Pastures and Grass. Putting up the second crop of al falfa is practically finished, but the next crop has made very little growth on account of the dry weather. Pas tures are also growing slowly. Mak ing prairie nay is well under way. Gardens, as a rule, have dried up. Fall plowing has been delayed on account of the dryness of the soli.

Keynoter Lambasts Democrats, State and National. Des Moines, July 19. Republican leaders were confident that harmony would rule the state Republican con vention when that body was called to order at 11 a. m. today. It was said that most of the contests- had been set tied amicably and that arrangements were complete to rush through a har mony slate, especially with regard to the new state central committee. It was said that the platform would in clude planks providing for prohibition and- good roads with emphasis placed on a proposition to leave the initiative in the matter of good roads to the farmer taxers. An uncompromising declaration in favor of prohibition was the feature of the address delivered today by Burgess W. Garrett, temporary chair man. Cheers greeted his statement that "No act of the Republican party ever will Dnng tne saloon back to Iowa." Temporary Chairman Garrett's Speech. "What men among us ever expect ed to see a drv Plank inserted in a Democratic platform and acquiesced in without protest by the Democratic delegates? Verily, the day of mira cles is not past," said B. W. Garrett, clerk of the Iowa supreme court in his speech as temporary chairman, open ing the Republican state convention here today. He referred to ihe statement of Temporary Chairman McManus of the Democratic convention, who said the liquor question in Iowa is settled. He quoted platforms of both parties for years past to show that the Republi cans have always been dry and the Democrats always wet. He pointed the necessity of law enforcement and did not agree with the Democrats that the liquor issue is settled but that the fight must go on. He opened his speech by lambasting the Wilson ad ministration for its handling of the European war situation and Mexican affairs. Good Roads as Can Afford. Referring to the good roads issue he said: "In the building of good roads we favor just as good roads as the tax payers are able and willing to pay for and we advocate the creation of the legal machinery to enable them to ex press their desires ana to proviae lor the payment or sucn improvements as they may decide upon, recognizing the principle of local self government and that the final source of authority rests and abides in the people themselves."

IN SUI1DAY TOGS Real Home Town Folk Make Up Dry Conrention. Motherly Old Women There to Chase Demon Bum. NATIONAL CONVENTION OPENS Col. Ingersoll, ex-Progresslre Leader, in Limelight. Crowd Sings Hymns, Prays and Shouts "Amen." BY H. L. REHTTSnCK. St. Paul, Minn., July 19. Hundreds of the same kind of "home town folks" who make up the church boards, the Chautauqua crowds and run the dis trict schools in thousands of towns and villages, swarmed into St. Paul today for the opening session of the prohibition national convention. Motherly old women, of the type that attend the home and foreign mis sionary society, meetings back home and bake cake and make jellies for the pastors' aid society picnics, were in the crowd. So were bearded, gray haired old men in their black "Sunday-go-to-meeting" clothes, some of them with collars and some of them who never wore one. The delegates who came to St. Paul Imbued with the thought of downing the Demon Rum are as different from the crowds who attended conventions of other political parties as the frock coated city merchant is from the gnar ly fisted, aproned storekeeper at Hicks Corners, or any other crossroads. Wears Diamond, But No Collar. The prohibitionists seem more earn est, and care less for show. The women brought their tatting, their knitting and their patchwork. It was a hot day and costless, collar less, suspender-showing shirts some of them blued and some of them "boiled" dotted the crowd at the auditorium. For Instance, there was Col. James M. Ingersoll of Focatello, Idaho, a grizzled, grey mustached ranchman, who sat on the plat form. His boiled shirt was col larless, he wore no coat, but his diamond stud illuminated his shirt as no necktie could. His grey socks came down over the tops of his square toed black shoes and he twirled the mustache, appearing like a gruff, good scout, dressed up in his Sunday clothes and dreading it. Colonel Ingersoll, the only Progressive leader attending the convention, was in the limelight continually. Grandma of Party There. Mrs. Kate M. Hamilton of Los An geles. Calif., who is 74 years old, and has been a Prohibitionist for sixty three years, was "grandmother" to many of the women delegates who greeted her. She sat near the plat form, dressed in prim white, with bit of vanity expressed in earrings that bobbed as she nodded her grey head. This convention sings for amuse ment, where other parties shouted, marched and yelled. The prohibition ists joined in the choruses when A. M. Thatcher, who positively has the deep est voice in captivity, rumbled hymns and songs of the drys to the accom paniment of a piano played by tne same type of a girl who played the organ back at the Hicks Corners church. The delegates seemed religious ana comfortable. There was no dressing for Btyle but a lot of "aniens" were devoutly pronounced when the min later prayed or the hymns were sung. Drys Sore of Victory. St. Paul, July 19. Confident that the ticket that they nominate will poll the largest vote in the history of the party the delegates to the National Prohibition party opened the twelfth quadrennial convention here today. The willingness of such men as Wil liam Sulzer of New York, J. Frank Hanly of Indiana, Eugene N. Foss of Massachusetts, and Sumner W. Haynes of Portland, Ind., to be considered as presidential candidates indicates the leaders say a widening of the party's influence, and thousands of former progressives are expected to join them. Some party leaders are predicting a close race between the three former governors, Sulzer, Hanly and Foss, with Haynes running in fourth place. Those more sure or the outcome ex press the belief that the contest has narrowed down to two men Sulzer and Hanly. Mr. Sulzer telegraphed his followers that he would arrive Thursday to enter tne ngnt. WILL REORGANIZE MOP Supporters of Plan Say All Opposition Is Swept Away. New York, July 19. Supporters for the plan for reorganizing the Missouri facuic railway announcea this after noon that practically all opposition has been eliminated, the executors of the Jay Gould estate having voted to de posit the securities with the reorgani -zation committee without condition.

V. W.'s Terrorize Lincoln. Lincoln, Neb., July 19. Coming here from adjoining states with the announced purpose of over-awing the police and protesting against "Russian ized" police methods, a crowd of over 100 I. W. W. members marched to the county jail in the afternoon to de mand the release of two of their members who were arrested a few days ago and are held as vagrants and for stealing a ride. The crowd was ordered to keep its ditance from the jail, and after a brief exchange of -words and blows between a com mitteman and the sheriff, the crowd marched downtown. However, many of them have adopted a threatening attitude and declare blood will be shed before night is over. With the militia all out of the state the situa tion might become serious. The sheriff, after conferring with the governor, has declared he will not re lease the men, who were offered jobs at $3.60 a day and refused to accept. Oddities Culled From Day's News Toledo. Ohio.

STOCKS Publication of circumstantial reports that further large war orders are soon to b awarded in this market inaugurated a gen eral advance in the stock market today Id issues of that class as well as equipment, coppers and shipping shares. The rise was easy of accomplishment because of the extensive short interest which has recently developed. American Car, Pressed Steel Car American Can, Railway Steel Springs, Crucible and Westinghouse rose 1 to 2 points with as much for United Fruit and Marine preferred, five for Atlantic Sulk and West Indies and 4 for Industrial Alcohol. United States Steel was freely absorbed at a moderate advance but rails were backward. Bonds were irregular. Variable changes, for the most part up ward, attended today's early operations. In only one Instance Kennecott Copper, which showed an initial loss of a small fraction were individual offerings in ex cesa of 100 or 200 shares.

If III SFSh f-;r V t 1- yf-jrt v- THEY MUST FIGHT German Soldiers Ware ojt Re bel Against High Powers. Their One Desire Is to See Wives and Children. BRITISH A SURPRISE TO THEM i Didn't Think the "Amateur Gunners" Were So Good. Expect y&r To Be Oyer in August or September, With the British Armies in France j (via London), July 19. Quite a num ber of German prisoners told me that I their people were sure this war would be over in August or September. They had been promised that, i "Do you think you are winning?" j I asked a man of real intelligence. "Ve thought so," he answered, "and now," he raised his hands and shrugged his shoulders, "the British are stronger than we believe." It seems that they did not believe that such defenses as those of Fricourt and Monteauban could ever be broken. The new power of the British artillery amazed them. They speak of it with terror. Officers admit they did not imagine "amateur gunners" could achieve such results. They admit the possibility of their army having to retire to a new line of defenses, but I have not found one man to speak of defeat. They are still convinced that the German army can never be beaten to the point of surrender. Want Their Families. On the other hand, German soldiers do not want the war to go on; they have a great craving for peace. They want to see their wives and children again. One strain of thought that creeps out in their talk, is the sug gestion that they fight not as free men desiring to fight, but compelled to fight by higher powers, against whom they cannot rebel. I am told by one officer, in charge of them, that they talk of another in evitable war between Germany and England in ten years. They have been taught to believe, he says, that the British t hrust this war upon them, that nil through the British have been the aggressors and that Germany will seek revenge. The Germans suffered great loss during 1 he attack, by their own ad mission, and it was reckoned, on a fair estimate that in killed, wounded and prisoners, the number of their cas ualties is somewhere near 150,000 men, including those inflicted by the French. ROBBERIES INCREASE j Yaqui Indians Threaten to Gain Con- trol of Southern Sonora. i I I Xogales, Ariz., July 19. Heavy Mexican troop movements from the I cencentration camps below Nogales to southern Sonora where Yaqui Indians are threatening to overrun that part of i the state are reported by arrivals from the south. The mobilization camp of Agua Zarcha has been aban doned. i Piotests of Americans against the continued destruction and robbery of property in Sonora are being forward ed daily to Washington. G. L. Giroux, an Englishman, has protested to the British consul at San Francisco against two recent raids by Carranza military on his holdings at La Huerta, Sonora. FOR LIMBS, SI, 000,000 Mammoth "Artificial" Order Received in New York Today. New York, July 19.

New York. July 19. The breaking off of conferences between Cloak, Suit and Skirt Manufacturers' Pro tective association and the Interna tional Garment WorKers" union left the garment workers strike today to all intents where- it started three months ago. Statements issued by both sides ac cused the other of bad faith and re sponsibility for the failure of nego tiations. The strike affects some -JO, 000 em ployes and about BOO manufacturers. It is estimated that orders for wo men's clothes worth $60,000,000 have been left unfilled. Strike payments of $65,000 a week hare been made by the union. The citizens' committee, which has been aiding the workers, is sued a statement today saying as the results of the strike more than 200,000 persons are facing hunger. The committee plans to raise $35, 000 a week for the benefit of the gar ment wcrkt-rs as long as the strike lasts. MUST GET TOGETHER Dissension and. Petty Offenders Must Cease, Hughes Says. New York, July 19. Charles B. Hughes today told callers that dis sension among his supporters must cease, that he expected all factions to get together subordinate what he termed their petty differences, and work for the election of the national ticket and a Republican majority in both branches of congress. The suc cess of the party at the polls, Mr. Hughes declared, depended in a great degree upon a cessation of "bicker ings" between Republicans and former progressives and between various lo cal factions of Republicans. The nominee expressed a willingness to aid in adjusting any difficulties which might now exist, so far as he could do so personally, and added that he expected his campaign committee, which consists of Republicans and former progressives, to act as a tri bunal of last resort in instances which he could not personally find time to study. Mr. Hughes had a long talk with Mayor Thompson of Chicago and other leaders from Illinois. The nom inee confirmed his tentative engage ment to speak in Chicago on the night of August 8. MAY HAVE BEEN SUICIDE Theory Business Man Murdered Partly DLsproven Rejected by Fiancee. Ottumwa, la., July 19. The death of Arthur Young, business1 man of Hedric, may not have been a murder plot because of his love affair with Miss Beulah Ellis of this city, but a case of suicide, the coroner's jury said, and the truth will not be known until reports come from the experts at the state hospital at Iowa City. Miss El lip, who swallowed poisofc at the bier of her dead lover, recovered sufficient ly to testify that she refused to marry Young when she saw him Sunday be cause she had heard he was paying attentions' to another girl, and that Young had threatened suicide unless she married him. Boys found a small bottle under the window, of the hotel room where Young was stricken. Young said he had been poisoned by drinking a bot tle of beer given him by a man who had threatened "to get even with him, but the authorities are probing the suicide theory and will have the contents of the small bottle found un der the window examined by the Iowa City experts. ALLIES TURN DEAF EAR "Ion't Uke Smell of Frying, Keep Out of the Kitchen" This to V. S. Washington. July 19. Another protest was sent yesterday on the Red Cross situation pertaining to Poland and further appeals are pending for Polish relief. Strong representations will be made against the black list. But a high official of the government, and a man close to the president, said: "These people (the allies) are in dead earnest. They have their teeth set and their eyes fixed on a given goal: They are paying little atten tion to anything else. They will ac cede to no demand they believe might aeiay new reacning tne end they de I sire. And they have told us in al most so many words that if we don't like the smell of frying over there, we'd better keep out of the kitchen." NO MORE HOLIDAYS England Will Xot Rest Until She Whips Germany. London, July 19. Gen. Sir Douglas i Haig, in a letter to the munition work ers, says: I "Let the whole British nation fore J go any idea of a general holiday until our goal is reached. A speedy and decisivie victory will then be ours." The Right Hon. Arthur Henderson, M. P., chairman of the labor confer ence, replied as follows: "We are. resolved to recommend the pi-stponement of ail holidays involv ing the interruption of production un til assured by you that the military exigencies will permit them to be tnlcen TANGLEDTRAGEDY Search for Dead Woman's Part ner;. She May Solve It. Believe She Can Throw Light on Dr. Adams Suicide. DR. HARRIS IS NEAR DEATH Shot Thrice by Dr. Atwood, Miss Adams's Fiance. On Death Bed Said Harris Had Wronged Her. Boston, July 19. Grimly defiant. Dr. Eldredge D. Atwood sat in his cell today while police scoured Bos ton for facts supporting his story of betrayal by a brother physician of Atwood's fiancee. Dr. Wilfred E. Harris, named by Atwood as the de stroyer of his happiness, the real cause of Dr. Celia Adams's suicide, was hovering between life and death at the hospital with three wounds from Atwood's revolver. When Atwood was arrested late yes terday, the police think he was on the point of committing suicide. The authorities are most anxious to locate Dr. Mary Campbell, who shared an osteopathic office with Dr. Celia Adams, to whom Atwood was en gaged. They desired further evidence of alleged relations of the dead girl with the man whom Atwood shot. Took Overdose of lorphiiie. The girl herself, who, according to Medical Examiner McGrath, died from morphine poisoning, was said by Atwood to have denounced with her dying breath the name of Dr. Har ris, alleging that he had betrayed her. Atwood left the girl's home after her death and went immediately to Harris' apartment in the Hotel West minster. There, without warning, he shot down his fellow physician. He left the hotel and for hours watched newspaper bulletins downtown detail ing the attack on Harris and the hunt for himself. Dr. Campbell Can't Be Found. Dr. Campbell, Dr. Adams' room mate, was said to have left the city. Police are exceedingly anxious to have her version of the relations between her and the two physicians. All four are osteopaths. Today an autopsy was to be performed on the body of the girl who killed herself. In his confession Atwood said he and Dr. Adams had been engaged for several years. They met and fell, in love, he said, when they were both students at Dr. Harris' college in Cam bridge. But she was older than he he is only 23 about nine years older than he, and her parents did not look with favor on the match. Harris, though always apparently a staunch friend, had been sought for advice, according to Atwood. Both he and his fiancee had often called on the college professor for counsel. Thus matters stood when he and his fiancee went to the theater Monday night, ac- coromg to Atwood. Intended to Use Razor. "Then it was," said Atwood, "that she confessed to me that Doctor Har ris had betrayed her. We quarreled. But I did nothing then. This morning I received word at my home in Wo burn that Doctor Adams was dying in the Commonwealth hospital. I went there. I saw her. She died. "I secured a revolver and a razor. I intended to mutilate Harris with the I'FKor. But there were too many peo ple in his office. I shot him." Demand $15,000 Bond. Doctor Atwood pleaded not guilty when arraigned and was held in $15, 000 bund until July 28. The police secured information today that the betrayal of Doctor Adams by Doctor Harris- occurred two years' ago, and in confessing this to Doctor Atwood, Doc tor Adams said that she had fallen under hypnotic influence since that time. It is said Doctor Adams tried several times to break the relations but failed, and at last decided to bare her secret to her fiance. CRAWFORD TO RETIRE?

REFUGEES UNITE Americans Driven From Mex ico Condemn Wilson Policies. They Form Organization Make Views Known. to BY JOSEPH TIMMOXS. San Antonio, Texas, July 19. A hundred and fifty American refugees from Mexico, including many widely known men, met here and effected a temporary organization. It is the plan to co-operate with similar organiza tions in New York, Chicago, iil Paso, Los Angeles and other places to place their views of the Mexican problem before the country. Speakers referred bitterly to the animadversions that have been cast upon them by President Wilson and Secretary Lansing. In a formal state ment adopted by the meeting the refugees declared: "We have seen and read wifh un paralleled tolerance in American his tory of the murder of hundreds of our men, women and children by irre sponsible bandits on this and the other side of the border; of the rav ishment and otherwise outraging of our women; of the burning of the homes and bodies of the victims; of tho destruction of our property; of insults to the American flag and peo ple; the ambushing of our soldiers; the raiding of our homes; the theft of our property and unlimited fiend ish outrages that would take volumes to recite."

It is understood the proposed Math ewson -Herzog deal would be sat isfactory to both the Cincinnati and New York magnates, except for minor points involved, which have caused a deadlock. Several other clubs are reported to be in the market for the Cincinnati manager. Vic Moran Big Surprise. New York, July 19. Vic Moran of New Orleans surprised the crowded boxing arena of the Harlem Sporting club of Rook way when he easily de feated Frarkie Callahan of Brooklyn. Callahan was generally conceded to have the better chances of winning, but the Crescent City lad was too clever and deserved nine of the ten rounds. NEAR RACE RIOT Crowd Gathers Around Scene of of Mclntyre Shooting. Delay in Serving Warrant on Aegro Cost Six Lives. Chicago, July 19. Crowds gathered in the vicinity of 320 Irving avenue where yesterday the negro, Henry P. Mclntyre. sent four people to their deaths, and was himself, together with his wife later killed, gave rise to fears of possible race rioting early today and caused fifty policemen to be dis patched to the scene. They dispersed the crowd quickly and the danger was declared to have been averted. To prevent further difficulty, ne groes were ordered by the police to keep off the streets. They obeyed promptly. Extra policemen were placed on guard in the district as a precaution. It developed today that back of the murders of yesterday and forming an innocent means to them was an un served warrant, charging Mclntyre with disturbing the peace. Three Wounded Will Recover. A policeman sent Monday night to serve the paper, found Mclntyre away from home. He decided to wait until morning. The police say this decision caused more deaths than have figured in a single crime in years. Reports from local hospitals this morning indicated the officers and others wounded in yesterday's tragedy probably would recover. Edward Clement, detective sergeant, was said to be in the most serious condition. Among the effects found in Mc Intyre's house after the bodies had been removed was a letter which he had written to Prince Menelik of Abyssinia. It was sent in January, 1915, and returned unopened. in April, 1916. In it Mclntrye proposed colon izing American negroes in Abyssinia, stating that he had "organized a church and also an immigration league." BUILDING BIG LINERS Two Two Million Dollar Ships in Philadelphia Docks. Philadelphia, July 19. Two $2,000, 000 passenger and freight liners to ply between New York and Havana after next spring are being construct ed at Cramps' shipyards here, it was announced today. These vessels are for th New York and Cuba Mail Steamship company. They will be 443 feet over all, of sixty foot beam and forty-three feet two inches in depth. They will have a speed of seventeen knots. Each will carry 426 passengers, a crew of 150 and 3.000 tons of freight. COUNTRY CONDITIONS Rain Needed in Many States for Growth of Corn Crop. Washington, July 19.-rSummary of weather and crop conditions in corn and wheat region for the week ending July 18, 1916, follows: Corn made decided improvement in the central and northern states with the warmer weather, but rain is badly needed in Oklahoma and is needed in parts of Arkansas, Missouri, Kansas and Nebraska. The crop is still back ward in the extreme north and north east; it is tasseling as far north as Ohio and the lower Missouri valley. The weather was favorable for har vesting and threshing in most of the central districts and the grain is ma turing well in the extreme north. The weather was generally favorable for potatoes, truck crops, sugar beets, sugar cane, tobacco and most fruits. Haying is progressing with good crop in north. Pastures and ranges needing rain in most of the central and western states Flax is blooming and buckwheat seeding is under way. Rye, barley and spring wheat are promising. P.

Of course there are draw backs: there may be no head on the water or the hose may leak. But even so there is far more recreation to be had thus than can come to the bored city man who has paved streets about his dwelling. He can wet down the sidewalk in the early morning, but some cities have ordinances pro hibiting; the sprinkling; of sidewalks after a certain hour. For. one who will rise soon after the sun and there is no better hour for living- when the days are long; is the acute joy of washing the dust from the steps and pavement and giving them a thorough cleansing. A householder thus gets some of the same satisfaction which comes from shoveling away his snow. All in all, the spouting hose is a bene fit to more than the mere spot at which it is aimed. messenger boys, yet the telephone is in almost every business house and in many households, doing work for which there was little demand a few years ago. The farm tractors will simply fit into the greater needs of the country and will do the heavier chcres and drudgery which horses are little fit for. They will not replace the horses, but will simply assist them and make life easier for them. They will a!so enable farmers to breed bet ter horses because their mothers will be kept for that purpose instead of spending half or more of their time in doing heavy work. Let us not dream too long upon the practicabil ity of the horseless farm. It is a, long way off, as yet. Rear Admiral Peary, whose major naval activities for a great part of the time that he has been connected with the United States navy have been con fined to the operation and manage ment of dog-sleds in the Arctic re gions, has worked out a naval con struction plan for these United States of elaborate proportions, and which he is championing in letters and arti cles in some of the big eastern pub lications. Maybe Doc Cook has one, too. And the mystery is how Doc Cook happened to let Admiral Peary Score such a victory on him in thiB field, by announcing his naval plans first. However, the possibilities are that Doo Cook published a book or 'a brochure on this subject so long ago that it has been forgotten. i Another of Germany's illusions or delusions must have gone a-glimmer- ing by this time. This particular one was to the effect that Mr. Tommy Atkins, address, any old place in the British empire,, not only wouldn't do much fighting in the great war but ilso that he couldn't. Of course, it remains to be seen whether the rural credits bill that President 'Wilson has made a law With his signature will, work with the Advantages to the farmers that such a credit system should, but, at any rate, it is a start in the right direction. Probably there are not so many talk in these parts who will put much stock or hope in the predictions of the weather bureau that considerably cooler weather may come along to wards the close of the week. The Weather bureau's forecast for Mon day and issued Monday morning was lor "fair and warmer" weather, and before the day was done there was a pretty good rainfall and the temper ature dropped 24 degrees. How thoughtful and kind of one J.. J, Keegan, commissioner of the federal department of labor, to make it unnecessary for the president of the United States, his cabinet and the nation's congress to do any worrying rver a possible strike on the part of the four great railroad brotherhoods. Willy-nilly! In such an event, the government of the United States will seize the railroads and "they would never again be returned to their for mer private ownership." Mr. Keegan ays so himself. This settles the whole big and vexed problem, of course. It may be, though, that Mr. Keegan hasn't the authority to speak for the government of these United States. He may merely be laboring under the delusion that his opinions of what ought to be done under a cer tain contingency are the plans that the government has adopted with Which to meet it. EUROPE'S MONEY-BAGS. There must be a limit to everything. The point is always eventually reached where the last straw will break the camel's back. But just when the time will come when the belligerent nations of Eu rope, or some of them, will reach the end of their financial resources is ap parently as problematical as it was the day the great European war be gan. At that time, those who might have been supposed to be qualified as world financial experts were free with their predictions that the war would of necessity be a comparatively short one, of a few months or not more than a year's duration, and because of the financial considerations In' volved. However, the war will soon be start' ing on its third year. And the enormous, the almost un imaginable supplies of money that are needed to conduct it keep flowing un interruptedly from the coffers of the warring nations without any signs of diminution. England's chancellor of the ex chequer reports that Great Britain's share of the cost of the war is now $30,000,000 a day, a truly astounding figure. Suppose the big pushes and drives that the Entente Allies are now stag ing fall far short of the goals at which they are directed. Is it possible that the money will still be forthcoming to keep the war going throughout another winter, and while the Allies are rehabilitating their forces and making ready to take advantage of the months of next spring and summer to press on for the victory they say they will not be content until they win, and which may be denied them this year before winter sets in again and stops the hostilities on their present major scale T It does not seem so. But the question is evidently one that time alone can answer. Then, too, a feeling seems to be abroad all over Europe that if the Al lies are not successful in their pres ent campaigns, the war is likely to come to an ending, anyhow, and when the approaching winter set in. The premise of this r.rgument is that both sides to the war will have reached the conclusion by that time that neither can win by force of arms, and that the only thing that they can do is to arrange some sort of peace terms. And this may be the denouement. But if it Is, the titanic struggle, waged so long and fiercely without anything like a dc-cisive victory having been attained by either side, will have been In vain. On the conclusion of such terms of peace as might be arranged, the na tions of Europe would be almost cer tain to begin to set their military and naval houses in order for the pri mary purposes of protecting the rights that the peace terms had given them, and when a few years had elapsed everything would be ripe in Europe for another great war. and It probably wouldn't take much of a spark to set it going.

Accordingly they put their heads together and the result of the conference was that the leader went to the mistress of the house and said: "The frames of your oil paintings are very dingy, ma am. We 11 clean them for you If you ve got any whisky.' "How much whisky will be needed?' asked the guileless old lady. "About a quart," said the painter. So the old lady brought to the painter a quart of whisky and they drank it and cleaned the picture frames with water. On toward sunset the old lady coming to inspect the frames expressed herself as delighted with them. "Oh," she said, "they look beautiful. And who'd have thought a quart of whisky would have cleaned so many. It was lucky I saved it. It was what I washed Fido in last Sunday."

When I see a feller with a feather in his hat I realize that nature makes a mistake once- in a while and gets the sexes mixed.

It doesn't make much difference how much money, a feller has got, just so he has got plenty of it, and a man doesn't have to live to be ISO vears old to find that out, either. Seems funny we never knowed be fore how much we hated the Mexi cans. There ain't nobuddy who kin work more destruction in a short space of time than a feller with a souse and a motorcycle.

The only fit companion fer a feller who smokes a cigar on the street is a gal who chews gum. It seems queer, but you never hear anybody complain about the high cost of squirrel whisky. One of the pleasantest things that kin happen to a feller on a blue Mon day is to git a notice from the bank that he has overdrawn his account. There ain't no feller that is much wiser than the one that drives night hack. Every time the train is on time at our town fifteen people get left, be kuz they always figger on it being an hour late.

The introduction of the farm tractor will not, as some believe, remove the horses from she fields and from their pastures, "Farm Machinery" asserts. The advent of street cars did not have that effect upon horses, neither did the bicycle nor. automobile. Today there are more horses in this country than there were ten years ago, and prices are considerably higher. The one thing that the farm tractor will do is to supply the need of power on the farms which horses cannot give. Take away the farm tractors which are in "use today and several hundred thousand horses would be required to replace them, or if horses could not be had the lands would have to go unplowed and untitled. The number of tractors now In use will be multi plied many times within the next ten years, out mere win be as many horses in this country as there are to day. and prices will be even higher than now. Farm tractors are becom- Ing a necessity, just as electric street cars have become the same as tele phones have supplanted the telegraph in a way and have taken ihe place of messenger boys and quick delivery of mail.

The Evening Story From the Philadelphia Record. He laughs best who has the laugh on the other fellow. You can't always match a sample in buying experience. Many a man's lofty ideals get no higher than castles in the air, and highballs. Where shoes are concerned, the av erage woman thinks it's a great feat to wear small ones. You never can tell. Many a man's wisdom consists largely of knowing what other people ought to do. Never put off till tomorrow what you can do today; but on the other hand don't cry over spilled milk until it is spilled. Some people are such sticklers for social etiquette that they even expect the wolf to come to the door with a letter of introduction. Wigwag "That fellow Bjones thinks he knows it all." Youngpop "Gee! It's very evident he hasn't a kid old enough to ask questions." Cynicus "I always feci sorry for a fellow who is getting married." Silli cus "I don't know why you should." Cynicus "I suppose it's because he hasn't sense enough to feel sorry for himself." Those Selfish, Unselfish Men. Sometimes I think men are the most exasperating, selfish creatures in the world. Thoy make such a fuss about their meals, they scold so when the morning paper doesn't come or tne laundryman is late, or at any of the small mishaps that are an inevitable part of the warp and woof of daily life, and that wouldn't matter much if people only wouldn't fuss about them. And then again I am touched by the infinite patience and the unselfishness of this strange race of creatures. Once upon a time when I was in New York I called upon a friend who lived in Brooklyn. I was myself staying at the other end of the city and the trip took me one hour and three-quarters, much of which was spent in a hot, ill-ventilated, crowded subway. It was a 'errible trip, and I couldn't help commenting upon it to my host ess. "How would you like to take it every day?" she asked. "One of my neighbors does that. His business was moved out to the Bronx Just after they took the apartment. His wife isn't strong and they had just gotten ac quainted and she didn't want to move again right away, so he has ro go back and forth every day, and in the rush hoar, too, when r.e has to stand most of the way." Think of it! An hour and three quarters twice a day three hours and a half spent in uncomfortable and un healthy surroundings! All so that his wife shouldn't have .to move! That's what I call a heroic sacrifice the kind of heroism that endures the torture of a million pin pricks of daily discomfort. No woman should accept such a sacrifice. Accessibility to her husband's bus iness ought to be the first factor con sidered in choosing a home. No wom an would deliberately lop off two or three years of her husband's life so that she might be more accessible to her friends. Yet that is just what many women do in forcing their hus bands to lend an extra hour a day in transit. There are not many cases so bad as the one I have quoted (though I know of another where the father for years traveled two hours and a half each way), but there are many cases in which the convenience of the work er has not been made a prime factor in the choice of a home. (Copyright iby George Matthew Adams. Two Confessions. (By Earl Reed Silvers.) Henry Riker had been at the Fern- cliff boarding house just thirteen days, and during that time he had won the worshiping admiration of Mildred Graydon. He was to go home on the morrow. In spite of the fact mat tne board was only five dollars a week and the majority of the guests were shop girls, he had had a delightful time. But that had been because of Mildred. She- seemed different from the other girls, her voice was softer-. her clothes simpler, her English bet ter. She didn't say, "Ain't that wonderful." They had both arrived on the same day and had met at supper. After that, they had been together continu ally, until Henry admitted to himself that he was almost in love. But on the evening before he was to return to the dally grind of business, he stood on the veranda of the low, ram bling farmhouse and looked dejected ly at two chickens pecking aimlessly on the front lawn. He was about to make a confession, and he didn't know how Mildred would take it. A crowd of girls dressed in rather wrinkled white dresses came out of the front door and greeted him noisily. Why the funeral expression? one of them called. "You'd think you were attending church." He scowled openly at the evident coarseness of the remark, but did not deign to answer. Want to come down to the vil lage?" the same shrill voice persisted. No," he said, in tones which were meant to imply his distaste of the questioner. "I will stay here this eve ning, thank you." "Well, make yourself at home!" The group passed on down the road, their progress being marked by loud bursts of laughter. Henry looked up and smiled as a dark-haired, blue-eyed girl tripped lightly down the steps and accosted him. 'Are we going out on the lake?" she asked. "If you want to." "Of course. I do. I wouldn't miss it for worlds; this is our last night, you Know." "Yes, I know it" He thoughtlessly tossed a pebble at one of the un offending chickens. Both were rather silent as they walked toward the water. The beauty, of the evening spoke for itself, and neither girl nor man felt the necessity j oi conversation. Once out upon the lake, Henry seemed to come to a conclusion. He rested the oars in the locks and looked directly into her Irish blue eyes. "I've got a confession to make," he announced 'hesitatingly. "But I don't know whether I ought to make it or not!" "What kind of a confession?" "About myself. I've come up here with all these shop girls and clerks and made believe that I am one of them!" A slight tinge of red crept over his forehead. "But I'm not. My father is E. P. Riker, the big manu facturer, and we've loads and loads of money." "And you came up here?" She seemed incredulous. "Yes, I came for the fun of the thing just to see what it would be like." "Oh!" He didn't look up; he waa afraid to meet her eyes. "And now," he concluded, "you'll probably think I have been playing with you. But I haven't; I'm really crazy about you. He made bold this time to glance at her, but. Instead of the hurt look he expected, he surprised a smile on her face. "Don't you care?" he asked. "Why, no!" She continued to smile at him. "I knew you weren't one of those people as soon as I saw you. That's why I let you go with me so much. My father is Arthur Gray don, the big New York doctor. What!" His jaw dropped from sheer amazement. Yes, I am Doctor Graydon s daugh ter. I'm glad to know that you are what you are because now you can come to see me in New York." 'Yes,." he answered, "that will be fine." But, somehow his words failed to carry conviction. He tooK up tne oars and rowed slowly toward the shack which was called a boathouse. The girl, too, seemed rather thought fully silent, ana ne ventured to giance at her. Her big blue eyes were un naturally brilliant and a bright spot of red adorned each cheek. He was struck with the sudden desire to reach over and touch her nana; nut he did not. Neither said a word un til the boat struck the bank with a dull thud. Then the man spoke. "I've got another confession to make," he said, and this time his voice was steady. "I've Just been lying to you. My father is Tom Riker, and he works in a factory in Hoboken. I haven't much money to speak of. I'm a floor-walker in Tracy's" "What!" This time it was the girl who registered amazement. "Yes," he continued, "I'm a four flusher. I thought at first that this was only a summer flirtation and that we would forget about It as soon as we went home. So I told you I was rich in order to make a good impres sion. But, as Soon as you told me who you really are, I realized that I that I cared for you. But now, I guess, it's all over!" He looked the picture of dejection. The girl was silent for a moment, but when she spoke her voice equaled his in frankness. "I've got a confession to make, too," she said softly. "I never laid my eyes on Dr. Graydon; my father is janitor of a building on Fulton street."

Dinner Stories A glassmaker's van had drawn up at the curb and a number of men took from it a large plat glass pane to be placed in a shop window. As they proceeded to the window, carefully bearing the pane of glass, the usual crowd stopped to watch. Among these people were a couple of young fellows, who appeared more interested than anyone else. mm r After a while, wearying of the de liberateness of the men with the glass, one of the young men said to the other: "Come, Bill, we mignt as well go along. They are not going to let it fall." Shortly after Sir Edward Carson had relinquished the post of solicitor- general he was speaking of the meth ods of examining candidates for the service and told the following story: "I had a Bon who went through that ordeal and when it was over asked him what had been said- to him. 'A lot of rot!" he replied. 'They asked me If my father was the solicitor- general and when I said that he was, they asked me why I didn't follow in his footsteps. I told them that I might take that up after I had failed at this job. "The late Admiral Evans had a uick, bluff wit," said Surgeon Gen eral William C. Braisted, U. S. N.

'Do you find anything lacking, admiral?' the manager said, proudly, at the end. 'Nothing,' the admiral replied 'nothing except a leather upholstered sofa for each horse'."

Handicapped but undaunted, the ac tors in the touring "drammer" were doing their best; but their efforts were spoiled by the rude comments of a small boy at the back of the hall. At last, after some of his best "scenes" had been spoiled, the hero hissed melodramatically: "Ladies and gentlemen, five years ago I lost a monkey. Tonight it has turned up again at the rear of the hall." The applause and laughter which greeted this brilliant sally had hardly died away when the voice of the in sulter was heard to ask blandly: "What did you do with the organ?" One day in the late fall a gardener started away from the barn with a wheelbarrow-load of tulip bulbs. "Here's a good day's work for me," said he to himself, as he began set ting them out in neat rows in the front-yard flower beds. "I'll be lucky if I finish this Job by night." He worked diligently, but when the early autumn twilight fell over the earth there were still some bulbs yet unplanted. "I don't want to have to do this to morrow," said he; "I guess it will be all right if I stick these in the ground just in front of these -bushes, instead of in the regular flower beds." So, without much careful planning, he set the dozen or more tulip bulbs in the ground Just in front of the bare bushes. And all through the winter the tulip bulbs slept in their cozy bed and cared not a whit where they were; for they were warm and comfortable and that was all that mattered. But when the sun stopped his win ter Journey and started on his trip high in the sky, when Jack Frost went to bed in his northern home and the gentle south winds blew through the trees, then the tulip bulbs waked up from their long sleep and began to grow up 'toward the sunshine. But dearie me! By the time they reached the top of the soil, what do you sup pose had happened The bushes had dressed themselves In beautiful dresses of green leaves and flowers and the tulip leaves couldn't look through the bush leaves at all! The leaves grew so densely! "What in the world will we do now?" cried the tulip plants to each other. "Some careless gardener has planted us too far back under the bushes and we never in the world can see enough sunshine to make our blos soms! Ah. me! What shall we do." Now a few sunbeams shone upon the bushes and a few south breezes, who were passing by, heard every word the tulip plants said. "Don't you worry," cried the sunbeams and the breezes encouragingly. "You -go right ahead with your growing. Do your work the best you know how, and everything will turn out all right never fear.' 'WWJ'llJV'l. ,a.a l.iiin,jpi. j.

And by the rime the scarlet tulip blossoms wen ready to bloom the stems were long enough to -tick the blossoms clear Into the sunshine. Think of that' But of course that took time.

Subject: "Mustering the Forces for ARMAGEDDON AH Welcome Seats Free. Atchison, Kan., July 19. Senator Balie P. Waggener's ixty-ninth birth day was celebrated at Forest park Tuesday afternoon by more than 5,000 children. Although special trains into Atchison were abandoned this year by Senator Waggener, hundreds of out of town children came in on the Central Branch, Santa Fe, Burlington, Rock Island and Missouri Pacific. Activities began with a big picnic dinner at Forest park. But, In reality, they began earlier in the morning. It had been advertised that small Ameri can flags would be given to children under 16 at the office of the Railway Light ft Power company, Fifth and Commercial. Long before employes of the com pany were ready to give them out. throngs of children swarmed around ithe front door, blocking the entrance to the building, the sidewalks for j yards around and a portion of the j street. Senator Waggener drove up in I his motor car and drew a great cheer. jHis title, "The Children's Patron Saint" once more was justified. His heart was touched by the youthful crowd and he ordered his chauffeur to drive to a 10-cent store. Five Hundred Dollars for Toys. Both his son and brother had pre vailed upon Mr. Waggener to give up the plan of giving tovs to f h rhiM..n and he consented. But when he saw mai mass or children, and remem bered he had nothing but American flags to offer them, he bought out practically every toy department in Atchison. It is believed he spent more than $500 on toys for his little friends. These were taken to the office of the Railway, Light Power company and given out. An officer or two was required to keep the children in order, as employes of the company passed the toys and souvenirs of all descriptions out the front door, where they wer hemmed by eager, childish hands and faces. Seven members of the drum corps from the Military home at Leaven worth paraded Commercial street. Grizzled veterans they are, but their agility with fife arid drum really took one back to the days of '64, when moustached and be whiskered young men went forth to war. They looked older than the soldiers of the present day on account of facial foliage. But they were Just as young. The seven members of the corps are between 66 and 71 years old; Capper Gives $25. E. C. Willis, superintendent of the n'jiuiers orpnans' home, spent the day in Topeka. He called on Gov ernor Arthur Capper at the state house. During the course of the con versation, the governor remembered that it was Mr. Waggener's birthday. He was told all the children of the home were going to attend. He wrote out a personal check for $25 and handed it to Mr. Willis. "I want them to have a good time he said. The money was apportioned among the 180 children of the home, and each was given his share to spend as he pleased. Senator Waggener seems to have been on pretty good terms with the weather man the last sixteen years. Each day he has had a beautiful day for his picnic. Once, several years ago, J. Pluvius staged a little demon startion of moisture and thunder and lightning early in the morning, but the sun came out before noon and the day was all the more pleasant. Per haps Mr. Pluvius merely wanted to add to the success of the dav. Senator Waggener enjoyed himself immensely, mat expression of pleas ure on 6,000 childish faces was re flected on his own. He wasn't able to leave his car to mingle with the chil dren and lead them around by the hands, but his car was In evidence on Commercial street and at the park. aro everywhere ne was given a he arty demonstration.

That an Interurban between Atchison and Falls City will probably be constructed be fore one between Atchison and Topeka is the opinion here. The field for an Interurban out of Atchison is west and north. The towns between Atchison and Topek would not help Atchison as much as those to the north and west. It would be the idea to run a line from Atchison west to Holton and another north and west to Hiawatha.

Agaie Eamsas Leads The Rural Credit Bill Has Been Passed by Congress, Was Signed by the President, and Has Become a Federal Law And Kansas, as usual in all forward movements, is prepared is ready to take immediate advantage of it and to assume the lead in the development 'of the greatest Rural Credit System in the world to be the first unit in the Ameri can system with w The Kansas Rural Credit Association Members of this association are in position to be the first to profit by this great law. At a meeting of the stock-holders held on July 3rd, the fol lowing resolution was passed: "Be It resolved, that the Directors of this Association be and they are hereby authorized and directed, through the proper officers of the Association, to apply to the Federal Farm Loan Board for a charter under the Federal Farm Loan Act as passed by both branches of the 64th Congress, and when such charter is com pleted to transfer to said corporation all of the assets of this Association; and we the stockholders of the Kansas Rural Credit Association hereby agree to accept stock in said new corporation bo organized In exchange for the stock in this Association now held by us." Securing This Federal Charter Means That the Association will have power to issue non-taxable bonds secured by the first mortgages on the farms of its members. The government passes on the security of the mortgages before bonds may be issued, and after bonds are issued hold the mortgages which secure them. The bonds issued in this way become instrumentalities of the Government like govern ment bonds or National Bank notes. They are free from Federal, State or local taxation. The rate of interest these mortgages will bear will be determined by the rate at which the bonds are sold. It is estimated at from 3V to 5. Here is the opinion of Mr. J. B. Burrow, President of the Central National Bank of Topeka: "Bonds of this character will be in great demand at 4. They can be sold at 4, but the market would naturally be smaller at this rate."

A week ago, after being placed In the Shawnee county jail by federal offi cers,. Curley "got religion." With his natural talents he was able to preach a most extraordinary sermon so ex traordinary that he brought a dozen or more inmates of the county jail to their knees on the cement floor. He persuaded them to throw away their dice and their cards. He put a lid on the "cussing." He. made, for a time, a sort of Y. M. C. A. of the county jail. But there is backsliding going on at the county Jail. Curley has been dwelling upon his own troubles and may have neglected his flock. Pris oners have been sending out money lor new dice ana new cards. Occa sionally a little regular "cussing" drifts out through the bars. "I have begun to suspect." said Mitch Bundy, jailer, today, "that those fellows lust threw away their old dice and old cards those they had worn out."

Seven cases of infantile paralysis and two deaths is the record for Kan sas since .outbreak of the disease in this state.

U-BOATJELAYED Deutschland Will Not Get Away Before Sunday. By That Time Bremen Will Bock at U. S. Port. BY CARL 1. GROAT. Baltimore, Md., July 19. Due to delay in readjusting and repairing pipes aboard the German sub-sea freighter, the Deutschland still tossed totiay in the muddy waters of the Papasco here. Her getaway, it now appears, is likely to be by Friday, but possibly not before Sunday. Her wire less was slated to be sealed today under neutrality provisions, requiring; such action after a ten days' stay. The pipes were damaged i:i the voy age here from Germany, but it was said today that these probably could be fixed by Friday. One story went the rounds that the vessel must await the coming of her sitter craft, the Bremen, in order t- ascertain the dis-, position of allied warships on the path between this port and Germany. Vessel Is Screened From View. The Bremen, it is said, will dock not later than Sunday. Where she is now, officials would not say early to day. Meantime, the Deutschland is stocked with provisions, ready for a quick dash. She was slated to do a test submerging at noon and this gave rise to the report that perhaps she intended to head out in that manner. As far as could be ascertained, though, such a course is Impracticable, Deutschland officials still kept their own counsel and placed as many im pediments as possible in the way of newspaper men and the public. The submarine is screened from view by a string of huge barges and every offi cer is under orders to withhold infor mation. DRYS AT ST. PAOL A Hot Fight on Preparedness Plank. St. Paul, July 19.

An early morning Sulzer meeting at a downtown hotel was the signal for the unmasking of the batteries of the Sulzer and Hanly forces and bitter de bates took place in hotel lobbies, in which the New Yorker's followers ac cused Hanly of trying to seize control of the party, while some of Hanly ad herents accused Sulzer of accepting the support of the liquor interests in his candidacy for the prohibition nom ination. Meetings of the Hanly and Sulzer followers will be held tonight. Sulzer is expected to arrive not later than tomorrow morning and will throw himself into the fight to pre vent Hanly's nomination. The Lotus club, unofficially an or ganization of about forty state lead ers, held a long secret conference late last night in an effort to unite on a candidate for the presidency. Sentiment was divided between Sulzer and Hanly and a decision was post poned until tonight, when another conference will take place.

ESTES CONFESSES (Continued from Page One.) day that she has not visited the county Jail since July 4, the date of the St. Marys robbery. Hazel Estcs Picked I'p.

Hunting for Others. The police have placed the Estes girl in the city jail and will hold her for investigation. Meanwhile they are extending their search for Chester Mc Lain and "Bill," the cook, charged by Charley Estes with being his partners in the St. Marys robbery. There is a family of McLains in North Topeka not far from the Eies home. There are three men in the family, George, Charles and Claude. Estes declared Chester is a brother of Charles McLain, but the McLains deny there is a Chester in the family. Claude McLain served a term in the penitentiary and was released a year ago. He is now wanted in connection with the murder of a horse buyer at Leavenworth not more than a week ago. Half a dozen trips have been made to the McLain home in the last week by the police to secure information concerning Claude McLain. He has been seen in Topeka. The police are of the opinion that perhaps Estes meant "Claude" McLain. No arrests have been made in connection with the McLain family. The police have no line on "Bill," the cook, although they have a good description of him. The fact is, "Bill is not cooking now, according to Estes. He Is described as a man about 40 years of age, with dark hair and eyes and with a gray beard when he allows it to grow a week or more. He weighs about 150 pounds. Parsons Isn't Excited. Chief Parsons is not particularly optimistic about Estes' story. "Charley Estes is the biggest liar I ever knew," said the chief. "He may be telling part truths under the third degree, but he may be giving a lot of information to throw us off. There isn't a man on the force who can put his linger on. any cook or ex-cook in Topeka who fits the description of 'Bill.' Inquiries fail 'to show when Hazel Estes has" been trailing with a man of such a description and Charley says 'Bill' is her sweetheart. She de nies knowing any such man. 'Bill' Butler, now in the county jail for robbing the Fritton safe, was Hazel's sweetheart, and it may be he is the man Estes has in mind and is trying to muddy the water with talk about him."

Miss Maud Darby gave a porch party Tuesday morning for Mrs. Karl j S.

The other guests were: Miss irace Phillips, Miss Polly lowers. Miss Mabel Kingsley, Miss Corinne Ripley,. Miss Marguerite Dolan and Miss Winifred Pitcher.

She is on her way home from Berkeley, Calif., where she attended the national conclave of the Alpha Phi sorority, which granted a charter to the local I:eta sorority. A wedding breakfast was given in Washington, D. C, recently, and one of the guests was Cyril Maude, the Knglish actor. His cheering remarks on that festive occasion have been re peated. He said: "They have a saw in Afghanistan to the effect that the next best thing to no wife is a good wife." "The Senegalese declare that there nre only two good women. one Is dead and the other cant be found." "The Persians have a saying that good men marry young and wise men, never." "The Chinese insist that if a man loses his bride and a yen (about a tenth of a cent), he'll regret the yen." Miss T.nma Markham. whose mar riage to Mr. Harold Whitlock will take place Saturday morning, was the guest of honor at a miscellaneous shower given by Mrs. Paul Larkin Tuesday night. Miss Markham's gifts were presented to her in novel fashion. One of the girls of the company dressed as an Itinerant peddler, and disposed of all her wares to the bride elect. Among the articles given were pieces of hand painted china, waffle irons, bath towels and bath rugs, a fruit basket, and sets for pitcher and glasses. The marriage of Miss Markham and Mr. Whitlock will take place imme diately after the Sturtevant-Stanley wedding, and will be solemnized at the hitme of the bride's parents, 1250 Washburn avenue.

After the marriage Mr. Whitlock and his bride will leave for an extended trip through the east, and will be at home after August 15 at 1250 Washburn avenue. Mr. Whit lock is a cousin of Miss Katherine Stanley, whose wedding will immedi ately precede his own. The women have learned to value coolness in the making of their sum mer clothes, and no decree of fashion can whip them into line for wearing high, stiff collars in July. They go down town with short sleeves and their waists open at the throat, and forget to feel thankful for their free dom until they catch sight of the tele graph delivery boys in their uniforms. The women are all stirred up about those boys uniforms, with their heavy looking jackets that button right up the front to the top of the standing collar, snug and tight admirable suits for midwinter. "To think of those boys, the women wail, "pump ing their bicycles over these glaring, burning pavements, and dressed like that, while the bosses no doubt sit under an electric fan. with their sleeves up, and their coats and collars hanging on a nail at a cool distance." People who have gone to the east ern seaside resorts, are sending word back home that many of the beaches are extremely dull, and some of them practically deserted. It is all on ac count of the war scare which sends the guardsmen to the Mexican border, and their womenfolk go along with them, ostensibly to be near them, bless them with their affeclion and their tender cart but most likely to watch them and see that they stay out of mischief. This thing of turning a winter resort into a summer one. Is taking a lot of the society people of New York and other eastern cities to hottest section of the country. Down in the Brownsville, Texas, district, those who have rooms or houses to let are gathering in the kale, and the managers of the hotels on the cool Atlantic coast, are wailing for busi- Looking Backward In State Journal Society Column TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY Miss Louise MeLellan gave a trolicy party last evening for lier guest, Miss Cox, of Juarez, Mexico.

'The dances are as manleas as the social affairs at tho European capitals. Nearly all the so-called "war brides," whose marriage was hastened by mobilization orders, have swarmed to the border. One eastern woman, Mrs. Seth Barton French, has asked the secretary of war for a commission to go to the border for the organization of hospitals there. The outdoor and street clothes this season are receiving more attention than ever before, and the results are more satisfactory. Every wardrobe that pretends to completeness has a sport suit, and those suits are jaunty and pretty, with their simple lines and their odd color combinations making the best looking garments that have draped the female human clothes rack in many a season. Green, being the coolest color. Is much in demand. Miss Annetta Nicoll, who is down town in business hours on a hur.t for bacteria in the city hall, is wearing a pretty suit of champagne colored pongee.

The following story is told of a Santa Fe official, who has recently returned from a fishing trip in the north. One slightly foggy morning, with a friend, he started for a luke uearby, where they were going to fish. The lake is about one mile and a half wide and about two and one half miles long. On the farther side of the lake is an old Indian hut, lu the direction of which they would row, and when they reached the farther shore they would throw their anchor and wait for the blatrte buss to bite. On this particular morning the fog grew heavier and heavier, and when the Santa Fe official had rowed about fifteen or twenty minutes, he began to inquire of his friend as to the where abouts of the Indian hut. No bnt was visible however, so he rowed on thinking they would sight it soon. By and by he noticed that the wind which was in his face when be started was on his back. Still he kept rowing. All a( once before his eyes, loomed the landing, from which they had started almost an hour before. He is still wondering whether he rowed clear around the lake or whether he rowed across and then back. Mrs. J. A.

HOLD YOUR HORSES Advertising Men in Topeka Preparing for Baruum and Bailey Circus. "Hold your horses, the elephants are coming!" The giddiest, gayest, grandest, glit teringest galaxy in the whole wide, wonderful world is trekking this way and will spread its acres of tents here on Wednesday, August 9. If one doesn't infer from this that reference is made to the Barnum Ralley Greatest Show on Earth, the publicity man will regard the case as hopeless. Tho first advertising car is in this city today and more than a score of experts are spreading with tack and hammer and paste and brush the flaming lithographic tidings of the ap proach of the big traveling amusement institution. They are under the di rection of Arthur E. Diggs. a well known circus advertising specialist. This is the Innovation of novelty year, the greatest of all seasons. More railroad cars are required to transport the show, bigger tents are raised, more area .is needed to accommodate the show than ever before. In tact, the circus has reached a point where it is the despair of many of the smaller railroads ard taxes their facilities to the limit, for eighty-nine cars are needed to convey the gigantic canvas vagrant from town to town. There's material enough in this year's circus to make a dozen circuses of the old davs. A "Dig top" Sao feet long, nearly 1,500 employes, three rings, folir elevated platforms, acres of aerial apparatus, a 108-cage me nagerie, 760 'horses, 40 elephants, a street parac.e three miles long!

'S Senator Charles Curtis and Con gressman Joseph Taggart are the only two Kansas representatives who hava,, answered letters sent to the entires delegation by the Topeka Commercial club. Enclosed in the letters were copies of resolutions adopted ty tnw board of directors, urging the Kansasr representatives to insist upon a settle ment of the railroad dispvte by a tri bunal appointed by the' president or through the interstate commerce commission. f Neither reply has elicited any great amount of enthusiasm. Senator Cur tis stated that he had "referred the matter to the proper comnittee." ot which he. is not a member. He also informed the club that as urgent letr-f ters had been received from laboring a people insisting that the dispute be settled between the railroads and em- ployes and not through a third party. Congressman Taggart express- doubt as to whether congress could v enforce a settlement of the dispute. This, the Commercial club did not de- sire, but merely to get congrss to ln sist upon a settlement of tbe disputes between qualified third persons.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL WEDNESDAY EVENING, JULY 19, 1916 Up to the Minute SportingNews From Everywhere. NEED NEW ALIBI Savages Can't Blame Defeats on Their Pitchers Now. Another One Run Contest Goes to the Opposition. Apparently the Savages are again bucking the impossible. Although It has Ions been conceded that you can't nuke runs without hits except- on a fluke, and despite the fact that it i3 generally admitted that a team has to have runs in order to win, the Sav ages, apparently, are going after everything but what they need most. Two days running now Engle's m n have been held to four and six hits and on both days they have been beaten by one run. In the last "Lincoln game they did get one coun ter, but in the opener at Des Moines Tjthey were held to the triple 0 .throughout. "Give us the pitching and we will show you, has been the cry all along. But indications are that this has merely been a wail of the Alibi Ikes. Monday Henning pitched a four-hit "game and the team couldn't win, ana again Tuesday Doyle came through with a four-blow record and lost. Pitching All O. K. Pitchers who can hold their oppo Tients to four hits are good enough to "-win any day in the week and they ought to win nine times out of ten, r but they have a poor chance when their teammates won't hit behind them. Apparently Manager Engle is trying to strike a winning combination all right. Tuesday he again switched his lineup and batting order, putting Cochran back on third and himself going to centerfield, while Kruger was permitted to keep the frost from ac cumulating on the bench. But, with rail of the shakeup, and with two more hits to work on than their opponents had, the luckless pastimers were un able to get a single run over the pan. Doyle Went Great. Up to the seventh inning of the game the Izsies were held absolutely at the mercy of Bernie Doyle and only three of them even got a chance to draw a breath on the base paths. In the seventh Meloan singled and was forced at second, Goodwin to DeFate, ,-for the second out. DeFate tried for 7 a double play at flrsrt to catch Jones, but heaved wild and then Claire came through with a lucky double that brought in Jones. The Savages did not even get a man to third base. Goodwin, Cochran, Schweitzer and Agler were tne only players who were able to get safe hits l "off Musser who pitched heady ball throughout. DENIED AGAIN (AT I)ES MOINKM) TOPEKA. .,t.

It Is easy enough to be pleasant When working the whole year through. .But the man worth while Is the one who can smile When he hasn't a darn thing to do. In spite of all the press agent work, the American Derby was a dismal failure. We had two dollars ($2.00) on Churchill. The Sport of Kings. Two kings, having gazed on several horses In the act of racing, yawned. If any of the dukes or earls who clnBtered around them had yawned they- would have lost their Jobs. But It is a king's privi lege to yawn whenever he- feels that wav A king can do no wrong. If George the Fifth or Sixth or Seventh, or whatever -his number is hls wife has his number!, were seen rushing the can down to Con way's everybody in Newport would order diamond-studded growlers.

FRED ANDERSON PITCHING BALL' FOR HIS HEALTH Fred Anderson, who has done some lovely twirling for the Giants this I season, is pitching for his health. At any rate he started into the game to regain his health and after regaining it decided to keep at it. He was pitching lor the Red Sox several years &fro and studying dentistry at th" same time. He finally quit the game to set up a dentist's chair in his home town in Georgia. He vas dolnrf mighty well but the indoor work got his coat a bit and he decided to go back to baseball. He signed. with ths Buffalo Feds and showed about the best pitching record of the bunch at the close of the season. John Mc Graw grabbed him when he had the chance and has since considered it a very lucky buy.

Fate had shuffled the cards for several Ameri can and one National league team Tuesday with disastrous results, deal ing the already stricken Yankees an other blew and cutting down the bat teries of no less than five teams. Pitching in the second inning of the game against Detroit, Nick Cul lop, the Yanks' most dependable twirler, fell to the ground with a torn ligament which will keep him from the game for weeks.

Taking Everybody's Advice Is Sure to Bring Disaster. BY FRANK G. MEXKE. New York, July 19.-Once upon a time a Corpulent Business Person de cided to take up golluf as a means of reducing his avoirdupois. Whereupon he beat it to a neighboring sporting goods shop and took unto himself a large flock of linK paravii".,..-., hih ost him auite a gob of dough. and he then purchased membership in a golluf club. "I yearn to acquire gollufing knowl edge," Corpulent Person confided In a friend. 'What professional can you recommend?". "Nix on the professionals, old kid, responded the friend. "It's Just a waste of good kale. Leave it to me. I'll teach you." The friend then led the Corpulent Person -to the green sward and put him through a course of sprouts. "You do as I have told you and don t mind anyone else," said the friend, upon concluding the lesson. The next day the Corpulent Person was puttering around when another friend came along. "Taken up golluf. hey?" shouted the friend. "Who's your teacher?' The Corpulent Person mentioned that he had taken the advice of Friend Number One and hadn't hired a pro fessional, whereupon Friend Number Two shuddered. Horror of Horrors! "Horrors, man." he shrieked. "Don't make such an awful mistake. Hire a professional. Get Hiram Flapdoodle,. He's the best in the country. You must learn the game right; otherwise you always will be a dub." The Comulent Business Man de cided that maybe Friend Number One hoi' o-ii-tn-i V"i 1 m a bum steer ana so ne hired Hiram at five bucks per hour, iiirnn, fn.,r,H msiTw faults with Cor- Hiram found many faults with Cor pulent and panned him ever and anon during the first lesson. The Corpulent party inwardly resented the superior j Sood of the cause. Hiram soon discovered many faults i concerning the clubs in the kit of the j Corpulent Party. I "They ain't worth a darn," said I Hiram. "If you wanta become a j Gollufer buy some clubs that I make j especially for men like you. They i come high but they are worth it." I Anfl the CorpJ,cnt person heaved j his c lubs into a ditch and bought a suppiy from Hiram. For a week or so he continued his lessons with Hi- ram. and then Hiram went away from i I j loomed In the offing. The Corpulent Person hired out as a Pupil to the new teacher at $7.50 per hour. "Your stance is terrible; your ef rt nt mittincr n r-o olntrniah tfervo forts at putting are clownish; those clubs you've got are jokes," were among the first statements issued by the new instructor. "That other teacher you had made a mess of things. I'll have to teach you all over ajrain," Whereupon he started out, but he didn't progress any real distance be fore Hiram met another Friend who explained his Plight. In Soro Straights. "I am Sorely Perplexed asserted the" C. P. P. "I yearned to become a Golluler. I had a Hunch it wouldn't be difficult to absorb the Intricacies of the Pastime. So I bought me a flock of clubs and then Bill Smithers said he would teach me. Said I'd be a lioob if I hired a Professional. Bill gave me some lessons and then I en countered Oscar Jones. He said I was a Boob because I didn't take lessons from a Professional. Then I Hired out to Hiram Flapdoodle, at Five Bucks an hour, and Hiram panned me as a Dub. "I thoueht the clubs I had were all right, but Hiram said they were all wrong. So I threw them away and bought a Bunch from him, and believe me they came high. Then Hiram quit his job here and another instructor came. I took a Job as student under him. paying $7.50 for each Sixty Min utes under his careful tutelage. Now he slips it to me that Hiram's method of teaching was punk, that my stance is fearful, and that I don't know a Gosh Darned thing more about the game than when 1 decided to take it up a month ago. "Furthermore, this Other Guy in structor says I ain't got the right kind of swat sticks and keeps Insisting that I fling them into the discard and pur chase lrom him. "I never had many worries or cares before I took up. gollufing. Now I can't sleep o' nights because of fret ting. What shall I do?" Whereupon, Friend Number Three said, Soothingly: "Fire the instructor; it's just a waste of Mazuma to pay for lessons when you can get them free, gratis, for nothing from the greatest gollufer in tne worm. Here; take this maga- line, turn to page 17. There you will locate an article on how to be a errand gollufer in two lessons. It's written by Harry Vardon, the best little club wielder in the world. Study those les sons, put them into practice and you'll develop into a wonder." Another Trial. And so the Corpulent Party dis missed his tutor. He hied himself away to distant parts and spent his mornings, afternoons and nights Ab sorbing what the great Vardon had written on how to be a Gollufer in two lessons. Finally, the Corpulent Party decided to practice what Vardon preached, but to save his neck from the hangman's noose he couldn't achieve satisfactory results. While the Corpulent Party was stab bing around on the green one after noon, trying to Putt as Mr. Vardon had suggested,. Friend Number Four came out of the Horizon, took one look; at the Corpulent Dub and then exclaimed: "Whatcha doin?" "I'm Putting," responded the Other. "I'm Putting as outlined by Harry Vardon." "My Dear Man. you're all Wrong All Wrong," cut in Friend Number Four. "Don't be a Boob and try to follow Vardon's advice. He's a great Gollufer all right but he can't teach. He hasn't the knack of. imparting his knowledge to others through the me dium of printed pages. But Jerry Tavers can do it. Therefore, I hand you this Magazine. Turn to page eleven ana there you will find an ar iticle by Mr. Tavers. Read it :-nd heed I a entitled: How to Become s to Become a Great Whereupon, there was a wild, fren zied shriek from a once sane Business Man and the next day the Medical Persons, after due and deliberate ex amination, ordered the Corpulent Bus iness Party consigned to the Booby Hatch, forever and ever. Amen. Moral: If you are going to take up Golluf, hire a teacher and then Plug Cotton into yrur ears when anyone comes along with suggestions on how you can better your game. Sport Wheezes What la the difference between the Western league and the American Assoc! !fton? Are there teams in the Zehruug Hoop that COUld go into the Cll 1 Vl 11 lltoll claus and hold their own? Such questions may seem absurd to the America ti Association fans, but, neverthe less, they are being- asked with much frequency by Western league fans, and there are a pre at many who believe the Western league to be as fast anil as classy as any AA league in the country. It may be true that the western league has more .:!00 hitters, a higher club field ing average and a higher club batting average, but it must be remembered that the American association clubs have more money with which to buy players and that they have a greater field to draw talent from. The Omaha club of the Western league might be able to hold its own against the American Association leader. Any club picked from the Western league might be able to defeat any club pitted against It from the Chirlngton circuit. Vet. this would not necessarily prove that the West ern league was as fast. And, if it did. this in turn would only prove that there was something radically wrong with the Association. There is no doubt but that the Western league Is faster and Is playing a better brand of ball than ever before. There is more inside baseball in the league. the base running is better, the pitching Is better and smarter men are directing the play of the .clubs. But. as much as a Western league follower may desire to do sc. it is hardly possible to prove that this league is really a AA organization. Charley White nnd Freddie Welsh are scheduled to give one of their regular 10 round peformances at Minneapolis Friday night. White-Welsh 10-rouud bouts are getting about as numerous as Jess Willard's daily circus performances. "Girl who has been asleep since June 28 still lives," says a Sioux City sheet's Deadline. It Is reported that one or two players on the Savage team have been asleep since April 20 and they are still alive and drawing pay for breathing.

And have you noticed that Jimmy Jackson has not been making the trouble he did a while back? Ty Cobb Is tired of the game Hans Wagner is just reaching his prime; Brook lyn is leading the Nutioaal league; and the Savages are still in the second di vision.

The growing strength of the Villa revolution la cre ating a new condition that threatens to upset all peace plans of President Wilson and General Carranza and pre cipitate a crisis more serious than any yet faced with Mexico. With' a new revolutionary movement menacing Carranza in northern Mex ico, the situation the United States faces was outlined in official circles today as follows: First When the Pershing expedi tion was ordered into Mexico to "get Villa" the latter had a force of 160 bandits. He is now reported heading a force of 8,000 revolutionists and the administration faces the necessity either of giving up its campaign Tgainst Villa or expanding a bandit chase into war on a force of revolu tionists. If U. S. Aids Carranza. Second If the United States aids Carranza in suppressing Villa, It will be placed in the position of sending an army into a neighboring state to aid one fRCtion of Mexicans in subdu ing another faction. This not only mig-ht unite the Mexican factions in a war to drivs the Americanse out, but would be contrary to the position tak en by President Wilson in his Detroit speech, when he held Mexico had a riant to fiyht out its own battles. The new situation the United States faces, therefore, is that it must do one if three things, conciliate the Villistas nnd other revolutionists and invite them into conferences with Carranza officials to adjust Mexican difficul ties; aid Carranza effectively In put ting down the revolution or withdraw American troops back across the line, strengthen the border patrol and re sume the old watchful waiting policy maintained when Carranza and Villa previously were fighting for control along the American border. Last Policy Likely. There are strongest evidences that the last named policy will be adopted. It was learned President Wilson is de termined not to have war or further armed clashes between the American and Mexican forces, and the troops are being withdrawn from Mexico as rapidly as possible without giving the appearance of a forced evacuation un ler pressure. It was admitted in official circles to day that the action of General Trovino in diverting a. large part of his army from service near the border to ad vance southward against Villistas demonstrates that the United States is up against a new and powerful rev olution in Mexico and not a few scat tered squads of bandits. On the one hand are the Carranzista forces that ambushed the United States army at Parral and Carrizal and drew a deadline south of which General Pershing was ordered not to go. On the other hand. Is a force which the United States has reason to believe ip led by Villa, a sworn enemy of the United States, on whose head the United States has held a price Wall Paper, Painting or Decorating can be done by Addis in as good grade of work and material and at as low a price as can be obtained anywhere; in fact, our operating expense is con siderably less than the most of our competitors.

That is in organized opposition to the United States and to the purpose of the expeditionary force sent by this government into Mexico. Situation Blacker. "The situation is blacker today than It has been at any time since the be ginning of the Mexican revolution," one official said today, "in spite of the steps taken to arrive at a basis for negotiation with Carranza." Eltseo Arredondo. Carranza's am bassador designate, conferred with Counsellor Polk over plans for an in ternational commission. The Mexican representative had received instruc tions from his government to proceed. No announcement was made. It was definitely learned today that the hitch In the negotiations is due to Carranza's insistence that thetroops be withdrawn. While committed to with drawal, the etate department wishes this movement to be gradual and balks on having withdrawal presented by Carranza as a condition precedent to appointment of the Joint commission. HALF MILLION A DAY British Throwing Terrific Fire Into German Trenches". London. July 19. A dispatch from the correspondent of the London Ex press, with the British army in France, says artillery officers state at a rough calculation, the British have been raining on the Germans approxi mately a half million shells per day along the main front of the British attack since June 27. Thus the British irsed in 20 days 10,000,000 projectiles of all sorts, exclusive of bombs, rifle and machine gun fire. This staggering figure, the corre spondent adds, is illustrative of the needs for supplying the troops with munitions without any thought of slackening.

New York, July 19. Republican leaders today will try to straighten out the factional tempest in a teapot cre ated In Chicago by the selection of Harold Ickes, former progressive lead er in the state ,as a member of the national campaign committee. No sooner had Ickes been appointed than the old-line Republicans in the "Sucker State" let loose a loud yowl J of protest, on the ground that Ickes snouia not oe considered as Illinois representative. Mayor William Hale Thompson of Chicago hurried to New York to protest. Today Senator Lawrence Y. Sher man and Mayor Thompson both have appointments with Chairman Willcox. So has Henry R. Rathbone, president of the Hamilton club of Chicago. On his previous visit, the mayor indig nantly denied there was any complaint against Ickes and insisted his visit here had nothing to do with the mat ter. Love Feast When Hushes Comes. The fact that the mayor and other Illinoisans were to confer today, how ever, lent color to the belief that the Illinois regular Republicans were seeking some recognition. This recog nition, it was expected, will take the form of a "love feast" when Candidate Hughes, on his western trip, stops off at Chicago. Rathbone was admit tedly coming here to talk over details of the Republican nominee's visit. MOVFFOpEACE President Wilson Is Watching for an Opening. Will Take Advantage of the First Opportunity. Washington, July J 9. President Wilson will take advantage of the first opportunity for renewing his peace overtures to the European belliger ents. He desires that negotiations for ending the war, even though they be preliminary, shall be well under way, and himself a factor in them before the November elections. There is a feeling in official cir cles here that the present general of fensive of the allies on all fronts will decide whether peace may be expect ed soon. It is believed that if Ger many continue to give way before the French and British advance, and an invasion of her own territory is threatened, she will invite the United States to move for peace. If the re sults accomplished by the allies' of fensive fall short of their expectations and indicate years must be devoted to the task of crushing their enemies, it is believed they will consider peace. It was stated that by their present drive they can claim to have the power and resources sufficient to de feat the central empires, and such an assertion would prevent a loss of prestige among the nations. It is said today the president is about to grasp any suggestion, from practically any source. American am bassadors in Europe have been in structed to watch ail developments looking to peace parleys. A damper was put on the president's peace hopes recently, it was declared today, by an intimation from the Brit ish government, made informally, that any peace suggestions from the United States would be unwelcome to the allies.

CHILD LABOR BILL Filibuster Fight Looms Before Senate Today at Washington. Washington, July 19. A fight on the child labor bill paralleling the ship bill filibuster of a year ago, t loomed before the senate today as a result of President Wilson's demand that the measure be passed before he' begins his active campaign for re election. Southern senators, led by Smith of South Carolina and Hardwick of Georgia, gave notice today that they will keep their northern Democratic brethren In semi-tropical Washington all summer listening to speeches if an attempt is made to force passage of the bill. They threaten to jockey the Immi gration restriction bill into a position where a test vote will bo necessary and if possible force, the president either to veto it again or reverse his previous position. They regard the child labor measure as "northern pol itics." Leaders closest to the White House Walsh, Owens, Kerns, James say they'll stay until election if nec essary to press the bill to a final vote.
