Failure to make proper tests of gas strength, and lack of sufficient, air pressure in the tube were pointed out as contributing causes of the disaster. It was seven hours after the acci dent before pulmotors and helmets were secured. It was two hours be fore help arrived. Three men taken from the tunnel died before pulmotors arrived. A triple probe, by city, county and state officials, will be held to fix the cause and responsibility for the disaster. Officials will meet Mon day with Mayor Davts to set the time for the inquest and inquiry. Capt. Hans Hansen of the United States life saving station was the first on the scene, but he had no helmets or pulmotors, so went back for them. Two small boats from the ore freight er.

Van Dusen, superin tendent of tunnel work. He gathered a gang of workmen, seized a tug and led in tho rescue work. The dead include workmen who were trapped in the tunnel when gas exploded and members of two rescue parties who attempted to save the men first trapped. Of the dead, eleven were in the force trapped by the explosion. None of them escaped. The first rescue party consisted of seven men. Four of them perished and three were saved. The second rescue party com prised eleven men. Six of these lost their lives and five escaped. The first rescue party accomplished nothing. The second saved one mem ber of the first relief expedition. No one has yet reached any of the orig inal eleven caught in the workings. Of the eight rescuers who got out alive, two died later.

Empanelled to investigate the mysterious death of Elizabeth Eatcliffe, a coroner's Jury, which adjourned at noon today, re turned a verdict holding Roy Hinter liter to the grand Jury without bond on a charge of manslaughter. The testimony before the jury disclosed the Ratcliffe girl died of air in the ar teries, believed to have been pumped there by Hinterliter in an attempt to perform an illegal operation. The method, which officials say Hinterliter used in his attempts to per torm the operation, is very unusual. Examination of the girl's body dis closed a very strange condition, and only after a thorough investigation were they able to learn the author ities say, of Hlnterliter's attempts to perform the operation by using a pump. Said She Had Swooned. The limp body of the 15 year old girl was brought to a sanitarium here late Friday night by Hinterliter, who asked the authorities to revive her. All efforts failed. The young man declared she had been in the best of health when they started on a bug gy ride, but had swooned as they nearea tne city. was arrested late saturaav nignt and held pending the inquiry by the COrOnerS jury.

Boycott Will Only Mean Shifting of Accounts. OTHER NEUTRALS ANXIOUS Many Would Join With F. S. to Check English Aggression. Congress Remains Deaf to Pro tests of Business Firms. Wachlncrrnn T.. 1., f C Tl i BHtish k, Amerina firma jimeiiuaD iraae was reacnea the banks referred to said the United States would profit. Many of the blacklisted firms the British officials pointed out have been maintaining Germany's trade relations with South America and -were in a position to do so only because they were domiciled in a neutral country. With the boycott in force, it is claimed that practically the only com petition against American business would be removed and that the busi ness outlook for those banks which recently have established branches in South America and are now training many employes in New York for that field would be materially brightened. Trade Won't Diminish. In discussing the blacklist with the bankers the British officials pointed out that there would be practically no diminution in American trade but only a transfer of the business of for eign firms from the boycotted houses to others not under ban. On the oth er hand they said the necessity of British firms being relieved of the uncertain character of their Ameri- can connections, required the publi cation of the blacklist. This situa tion may result in strong pressure be ing brought to bear on the govern ment by the powerful financial in terests which will benefit by the blacklist, to prevent any drastic ac tion against England being taken. A vigorous protest to the British government is expected to go forward to the London foreign office today. The United States government's protest is expected to admit that Gret Britain has a legal right to ad- vise her subjects in and out of British territory against dealing with the en emy or dealing with neutral countries of Europe because their goods might find their way into the enemy's lines. But, the right of the British govern ment to interfere with the tra.de of neutral residents of neutral countries with Great Britain's enemies by apply ing the boycott to them will be vigor ously opposed. As outlined by authorities, the com munication to the British government will contain these features: A statement that the action of JJreat Britain toward American firms is ar- bitrar-v and violative of the "tradition- al spirit of the conditions of com i merce between the two countries." j An assertion that the selection of in dividual cases for blacklist without proof of guilty connection with the in terests of Great Britain's enemies is discriminatory and therefore violative essentially of the comity between the United States and Great Britain. Kquity Action. A warning that the United States regards the imposition of such hard ships on American individuals and corporations as a basis for an equity of action for claims against Great Britain by the interested parties. A declaration that the United States, pending a reply from Great Britain, reserves the right to take such steps as it deems proper to safeguard all cases which are not fairly within the rights of Great Britain to prevent her own subjects from dealing with the enemy. Thus far state department officials will not admit the United States is prepared to listen to any overtures from European nations for joint ac tion to compel the British government to abandon its present course. Chevalier Van Rappard, the Nether lands minister, was again at the state department conferring with Acting Secretary Polk. The Netherlands gov ernment is vitally interested in what steps the United States may take. The Scandinavian countries, particularly Sweden, are known to be greatly de sirous of launching some form of Joint action to preserve neutral rights.

A PATCH 0F GREEN It Shows That the Dentschland -Still Is There. Eyerything Favorable for De parture, but She Stays. Baltimore, Md., July 25. A little patch of green visible through a driv ing rain told watchers today that the German sub-sea freighter Deutsch land, like the Star Spangled Banner, was still there. What had prevented her from head ing for the capes overnight, as ap parently planned, was more mysterious than all the dope dreams and t" ories connected with this submarine venture. Moves at her dock overnight made it seem certain at least more nearly certain than ever before that shj was going at once. But after the first maneuvers of the early night, calm settled over the pier, the tug Timmina only occasion ally flashed her searchlight out into the storm and the Neckar and Deutschland crews attended Oivine service and then a banquet aboard the Neckar. Strangely enough the Timmins early today remained at the edge of the log boom, which guards the Deutschland. Heretofore she had ducked back be hind the cordon of barges at about 4 a. m., after completing her search light vigil. All that is needed for a dash is to open the front of the boom, snake out one barge, throw a tow line to the Deutschland and turn into the middle branch of the Patapsco. Mani festly the submarine is ready in every sense of the word for a quick getaway. Whether the promoters of the new submarine line actually fear for the Deutschland's sister ship, the Bremen, is something they alone know. It ap peared likely today, however, that they have very little information as to her course. The most likely thing seemed to be that the Deutschland will go down to the capes and lie there in wait for her. unless indeed she is taking a northerly course toward Bos ton, thereby drawing away the allied patrol from the capes and permitting easier egress for the Deutschland. Conference on Deutschland. Despite the mass of misinformation surrounding the Deutschland's ven ture, it leaked out today that Bern storff. Consul Luderitz and others plan to meet here. Unless the Deutsch land's siflter ship Bremen is reported safe in the meantime, the subject of their session, it is assumed, will be on the matter of either indefinitely in terning the Deutschland or making a bold run for home -taking chances with the allied patrol off .the capes. The whereabouts of the Bremen be gins to give some uneasiness, though she has not been out sufficiently long to make it at all certain that she has met with mishap. If the Bremen has had trouble, the Deutschland may de cide to avoid it by an indefinite stay. The Deutschland promoters stood ready to shoot out at a moment'? no tice. The Deutschland tug Timmins had steamed up; the path was ciear and all that was necessary was for the Timmins to pull a switch and make a run. Warships on the Watch. Norfolk. Va.. July 25. Reports from an authoritative source that a strong second-line of allied warships 1 lies some twenty miles orf Cape Henry in readinem to seize or sink the Deutschland if she avades the first line patrol on the three-mile limit to day made the demand for small sea worthy craft brisk. The possibility of a fight at sea. suggested by rumors that a convoy of armed German submarines also awaits a short distance outside the three mile limit, has aroused such interest that owners if strong small vessels capable USKY HELPER ARRIVES of putting out twenty miles or more are flooded with offers from private parties for the use of their ooats. Many government officials, too, are making ready to take up the trail of the Deutschland whenever she comes down the bay. Added to all of these crafts, many small yachts and motor boat are preparing to follow the big submersible out to sea. The new allied warship, thought to be a British scout cruiser, which first appeared on the front .line of patrol yesterday and relieved a French ship, continued its lone vigil today. In German circles it was believed that the Bremen, sister ship to the Deutschland, either had been headed off by allied ships or had suffered an accident. GUAWlllOT U. S. Regulars Fire on Disor derly Negro Soldiers. Four Wounded Made Attack on White Ciyilian. San Antonio, Tex., July 25. Three negro soldiers of Company E, Eighth Illinois infantry, were in the hospital today as the result of bullet wounds received when they were fired upon by the provost guard last r.ight. after attacking H. G. Henne. a lawyer of New Braunfels, Tex. A fourth was taken to b.i-3 tent. The wounded are: William Blue, shot in the groin. Edward Lightborne, flesh wound in the right thigh. Sidney Williams, left leg broken be low the knee. Unidentifed trooper, removed to the regimental camp. All are privates. The wounds are comparatively slight, owing to the guard having used "guard" ammuni tion, a light charge with a maximum range of about 300 yards. Threw Rock at Auto. The trouble started when Henne was driving his automobile past a group of the negro militiamen. Henne says a stone was thrown, striking the back of the car. He stopped and went back to ascertain who threw the stone. He said he was met with threats and invective. He ran toward a nearby saloon, followed by the guardsmen. By the time he reached the saloon, his pursuers are said to have number ed thirty or forty. He seized a tobacco cutter and knocked down the first negro through the door, he says. A second he kicked in the groin. At this Jucture the provost guard, com posed of the Nineteenth United States infantrymen, arrived. With clubbed guns they forced the negroes into the street. The negroes are said to have made a stand in the street, after withdraw ing some distance from the saloon. Upon their failure to obey repeated orders to return to their quarters, they were fired upon by the guard. Four of them fell and the remainder re treated. Citizens Let Army Settle It. Citizens were disposed to regard the incident as purely a matter for the military to settle and there has been no deminstration against negroes as a result of the affair. Army officials of the Southern department are in vestigating, preparatory to a court martial. Heard Insults, Say Xegroes. Members of the Eighth Illinois negro regiment involved in the little riot told officers investigating the in cident that they had been goaded into a display of their resentment by the series of derogatory remarks made to them by the white soldiers and civil ians as they passed along the street. A thorough investigation waa under way today. 'GOOD-BYE, MARY!' "Pre Taken Carbolic Acid," Said J. C. Galloway Today- He Had "Wished the Lord Would Take Me Away." Discouraged by age, partial blind ness and failing health, John Cook Galloway drank carbolic acid early this morning and thirty minutes later was dead. He committed suicide at the home of his son, H. A. Galloway, at 372 Green street Mr. Galloway was 80 years of age, was almost totally blind and has been in failing health for some time. Only a few days ago he remarked to his son: "I wish the Lord would take me away." At 6:40 o'clock this morning his daughter-in-law, Mrs. H. A. Galloway, was cooking breakfast. The old gen tleman was sitting upon the side of his bed. "What shall I do?" he asked. "What's the matter, grandpa?" ask ed Mrs. Galloway. "I've taken carbolic acid," he re plied. "Goodbye, Mary." He held the empty bottle in his hand. He became unconscious im mediately. A physician was called but at 7:10 o'clock, thirty minutes after he had swallowed the poison, Mr. Gal loway died. O. F. Marcotte, coroner, was called but he stated this afternoon that no Inquest will be necessary. "It was a clear case of suicide," he said. The body is at the Shellabarger un dertaking rooms.

After the hot teat day in six years, temporary re lief was piven Chicago today by a thunder storm accompanied by a heavy fall of rain. Today, however, dawned hot with a htgh degree of humidity. Monday's toll of five heat victims in the Chicago district brought the local loss of life from the direct result of the present torrid spell to 19. The government thermometer reached y3 yesterday at Chicago, while tempera tures of 100 up, were not uncommon in the southwest and on the Pacific coast. It was estimated today that the present heat wave in the plain and Pacific coast states has levied directly or indirectly, a toll of 200 lives. SI IIE IX DETROIT.

Comprise Three Islands of Strategic Military Value. $5,000,000, PRICE IN 1902 Intended to Buy Them, but Senate Spoiled Deal. Proximity to Panama Canal Adds to Their Value. Washington, July 25. Negotiations for the purchase of the Danish West Indies by the United States will prob ably be closed today. Consideration is approximately $25,000,000, it was stated officially at the White House. The negotiations have been carried on by the state department and the Dan ish foreign office. While details of the treaty were not given out it is understood that the United States would come into com plete possession of the islands. Word has been received from Denmark that the treaty is practically certain o be ing ratified by the Danish parliament. Chairman Stone of the senate foreign relations committee saw President Wilson today but said afterwards he had not discussed the purchase of the Danish West Indies and knew nothing of the question. It is understood the government hopes the treaty will be ratified during the present session of congress. Negotations Since Civil War. The three islands of the Danish West Indies St. Croix, St. Thomas and St. John lie due east of Porto Rico and their value to the United States is strategic from a military point of view. The harbors of St. Thomas and St. Croix are of first importance to the American navy and St. Thomas itself lies in the lane of shipping from Europe to the Panama canal. Important German. French and English mail companies have coaling stations there. The acquisition of the islands by the United States has been the subject of unsuccessful diplo matic negotiations since the Civil war. Secretary Seward began negotia tions for their acquisition in 1865 be cause the naval operations of Lhe war had shown the necessity of a base in the West Indies. A treaty was made and ratified bv Denmark but tne United States senate failed -to act on it in proper time ana it- )wu President Wilson, In his volume of congressional government; written about 1883, referred to the incident as "the treaty marring power of the senate." Ineffectual efforts were made to reopen the negotiations during President Grant's administration and in 1902 soon after President Roose velt came into office Secretary Hay took up the subject and Denmark of fered the islands for five millions. Had German Opposition. The United States senate this time ratified the treaty but the Danish sen ate defeated it. It was said at the time in diplomatic circles that German opposition influential in the Danish parliament was responsible for the de feat of the plan. Later Judgment, however, attributed the opposition to Danish aristocrats. This opposition still is said to exist, and it is said, that if the proposed treaty is ratified by both governments the transfer will be submitted to the people of the islands. In the first negatiations in 1865 they approved a change. The three islands of St. Croix. St. Thomas and St. John in the order of their size and population were dis covered by Columbus In 1493. Spanish, British, French, Dutch and Danish flags have floated over one or all the islands at various times. St. Croix, lying sixty-five miles southeast of Porto Kico, has an area of eighty-four square miles, and is the most prosper ous of the group, with its two towns of Christianstad and Frederikstad. It was held at one time by the Knights of Malta, having been given to that fa -nous order by Louis XIV of Franca, Important Trade Center. St. Thomas, which lies only forty miles east of Porto Rice and is less than 100 miles from the entrance to the Panama canal, was at one time the chief distributing center of West In dian trade, its importance being di rectly due to the fact that the mother country, Denmark, maintained its neu trality during the numerous European wars of the eighteenth century Charlotte Amalie, with a population of less than 10,000, mainly negroes, is still an important coaling station for steamers in the West Indian trade. With a depth of from twenty-five to thirty-six feet of water, the roadstead can accommodate the largest mer chant ships. St. John, least important of the islands, lying four miles to the east of St. Thomas, has an area of twenty-one square miles. Crux Bay, a village of 1,000 inhabitants on the northern shore, is the center of popu lation. While Danish is the official lan guage of the islands. English is quite generally spoken. Not infrequently there are earthquakes and hurricanes Unfriendly Nation Mhtht Get Them. If Denmark decides to part with the islands there will remain to her only two colonial possessions Greenland and Iceland. Naval officers regard the Danish iWest Indies as most valuable for any rjuiujjiii Kvvfrnment wisning to quarrel with the United States and have urged that it was essential to keep them from falling into unfriend ly hands. They have pointed out that they are very near the naval station at Guantanamo. only a thousand miles from Key West, and a menace to the free navigation of the Wind ward and Mona passages', the Carrlbean sea and the routes to American At lantic coast cities. Denmark's hug expenses since the beginning of the war are said to be responsible for her willingness to sell the islands. Valparaiso, Ind.

KANSAS SETS AN EXAMPLE FOR HER CITIZENS IN TAXES Out of 105 Counties, 79 Ht Paid 1911 in Full. State's Delinquency Is Smallest In Its History. SHAWNEE PAID HERS IN FULL This County Has Jfo Claims Against It for Year. Kansas Record Best in Its History. Kansas wrote another prosperity testimonial today when she broke the record in the payment of taxes. A re port by W. E. Davis, state auditor, showed that seventy-nine of the 105 counties of the state had paid their 1914 taxes in full. The state's de linquency was J9.540.S9, the smallest in the history of the state department. The report today covers the 1814. tax collections and is based on reports from county treasurers for collections to November 1, 1915. At present the state is collecting the 1915 tax and the record for last year's tax will not be completed until next fall. Final re ports on the showing will not be made for a year. Usually Up to (30,000. Usually the delinquent state tax reaches $30,000. Sometimes it goes as high as $35,000 or $40,000. Occa sionally it reaches a low mark of $20. 000. Then state officials are happy. But the delinquencies for the 1914 levy were below the $10,000 mark and all former records for collections of state taxes were broken. Shawnee county was among seventy nine counties which paid her state taxes in full. No claims were held against this county for the 1914 tax and Shawnee county was today given a clean bill of health. Cherokee county's delinquent state tax was the highest. The Cherokee county treasurer reported a shortage of $2,196.22 in state taxes for 1914. Washington county was next with a deficit of $1,142.38. Sumner county missed the dean record column by just $25.31. "The record is the best In the his tory of the state." saw -Auattor Davis. "Usually we expect a $20,000 to $35, 000 delinquency report. But. lhe re port for 1914 shows the people are in prosperous condition and are paying their taxes promptlv." NO RELIEF IN SIGHT Hot, Dry Weather Prevails Througlf- ont Kansas Today.

The only hope of averting such a break lay today in the chance that the Irish Nationalists would consent to further negotiations and with John Redmond, the party's leader, demand ing immediate action and his follow ers hurling charges of breach of faith ai the ministry, it was admitted this hope was a faint one.

It was pointed .out, still leave the Irish question sus pended. Will Walt for Harmony. The situation today was that the cabinet confessed its purpose not to introduce a home rule amendment bill until there was a complete agreement among all the Irish parties and ap pealed to the Nationalists to endeavor to obtain such an agreement. Reten tion in the parliament of the Nation alist representation in undiminished numbers was the main point which prevented agreement in the cabinet on the bill and among the various Irian parties. One other point which gave anxiety was tHe open threat voiced by John Redmond in the commons debate that the Irish members held them selves free to exercise th'eir individual judgment in criticising the govern ment's course, not only in democratic affairs but in the conduct of the war. It was admitted they, may seriously embarrass British success in the pres ent great offensive. London newspa per editorials took a gloomy view of the crisis. "It is humiliation to us in the face of our friends and our foes at a time when we claim to be fighting the bat tle of the small nationalities," '.he Daily News said. "It means that the sympathy of America is lost to us and that the whole sentiment of the Dominions is against us. Now we have the old stone tied once more around our neck In a heavier and more dangerous shape than ever," said the Daily Tele graph. "And we shall be fortunate if it does not hamper our progress at every step through the deep waters which have yet to be traverser." gaTexplosion (Continued from Page One.) moned volunteers and led tho first res cue party of volunteers down the ele vator and into the tunnel. One hun dred and fifty feet from the bottom of 1he shaft they began to stumble, crumple and fall, overcome by fumes. Rescue Overcome Rescuers. Dolan, who had resumed his post in the air chamber rushed after them. He saw a flash of light in the dark ness. It proved to be Johnson's flash light, which ho still grasped where he had fallen. Dolan dragged him back to the bottom of the elevator and went back. Almost dead himself he dragged Peter McKenna to safety. Then ho collapsed. Others from the crib took the-three up the elevator and they were placod aboard boats which had been at tracted from shore by rockets. It was two hours later that Van Duzen who had been sujnmoned from his ho.ne by telegraph, organized the second rescue party on shore and went to the crib. With his men he' descend ed into th tunneL They tound Michael Keough of the first rescue party still alive and dragged him out. They went in again, only to suffer the same fate which had befallen the first party. Finally four of them managed to stagger back to safety. The others did not come out until the third rescue party was organized and went after them. It was then that Van Duzen was brought out. It be came known today that work in the tunnel had been suspended three days ago because gas was found. The men sent into the tunnel last night went to work believing the gas had been elirriinated, i Thought Gas Eliminated. "We should never have gone into the tunnel last night," said Dolan to day. "We never got a report from the chemist whether the place was safe and clear of gas but they said it was all right for us to go. Mayor Davis and Chief of Police W. S. Rowe went to the scene of tne horror In a tug early today. The construction job on which the loss of life occurred is being done by the city with direct labor. It consists in building a tunnel from the water works in Lake Crib known as crib No. 5, to the new filtration plant being built at West Fifty-eighth street. This tunnel will carry water to the filter plant, now nearing completion, which will filter the water supply of what is called the "West side" section of the city. The tunnl is fifty feet under the bot tom of the lake. 11 Workers, Rest Dead Rescuers. Eleven of the twenty-three men trapped were members of a night gang working towards shore in the tunnel. The rest were members of three rescue parties which went down the crib shaft and into the tunnel In a des perate effort to drag their comrades back to safety. Twelve hours after the accident only eight of the rescuers had been able to drag themslves out of the tunnel. Two of these died later. Two of the res cuers who came out alive, were Pat trick Keough and Martin Nelson, pulled to safety at 7:80 a. m. "Every man still in that tunnel is dead," both declared. Greatest in City History. If the twenty-three men are dead, the tragedy, the greatest in the history of Cleveland waterworks development, will be laid partly at the door of un preparedness. There were no gas helmets, no physician at crib No. 5 and, no pulmoters. The crib had no com munication whatever with the shore. At 9:30 p. m., George Ellis, .operator of the crib elevator, smelled gas and noticed the gauge on the compressed air tank bobbing up and down. Ellis woke John Johnson, night su perintendent at crip No. 6. "Something is wrong in thie tunnel," Ellis shouted. Johnson was up Instantly, remem j bering workmen had struck a pocket of gas Saturday which forced them to quit work until Monday. I "Come on, boys, we got to go down for them," yelled Johnson. I Seven volunteers shot down the crib elevator with Johnson. When the res cuers lanetl to return, other crib work j men went down the shaft.

Camps on Border To Be Dec orated With Black. CESSPOOLS ALSO OUTLAWED Order National Guards Camps to Burn All Refuse. Strict Scrutiny for Health Made by Experts. BY WII.I.IAM G. SHEPHERD. Brownsville, Tex., July 25. Good bye to the good old style of lime whitened army camps. The use of lime was stopped in all camps this morning by orders which Major Bispham, sanitary Inspector for the army of the lower Rio Grande, is sued Monday night. "We've discovered fhat flies like white color," said the major. "What we are looking for is something black in the way of a disinfectant. The lat est idea is lampblack mixed with pe troleum." At the request of Major Bispham, I accompanied him on a trip of in spection, covering in part some ground gone over by General Bliss a week ago. Untrue Stories Circulated. "We want Americans to know the exact health and sanitary conditions here," said Bispham. "Many wild stories are being sent out about illness among the men. All are untrue. "The sanitary department of the American army can promise the American people that there is no repe tition of the horrors of 1898. We are ready for anything. Relatives of the soldiers back home may rest easy and not worry." The correspondent saw many un screened kitchens in the Virginia and Illinois regiments. "We can't have screens until we get wooden kitchens," said Bispham. "There is no lumber here but it is be ing rushed on cars attached to fast passenger trains. Look hre" and Bispham pointed to a ditch in the Vir ginia camp "doesn't that prove lime is useless? Look at the flies feeding in that lime-whitened ditch. "Flies are the best sanitary inspect ors in the world. They always find filth and they are provinsr to us now that lime does not disinfect. Tolerate No Cesspools. "The ideas of many incoming guard companies are very old fashioned in regard to sanitation." In proof of 'this, Bispham drove his automobile to the camp where the First Iowa had jurt arrived. Thou sands of huge youths were cutting down cactus and greasewood to the music of a giant chorus of Texas lo custs driven from tneir homes in the falling trees. 'What are you dome there asKeu the major of a giant sergeant who was superintending the digging of a hole next to the camp kitchen 'Digging a cesspool, replied the sergeant. Please discontinue that work and bring the medical officer here," said Bispham. Major w. Si conkiin oi ues monies appeared. "No cesspools, please, directed Bispham. "Build incinerators and burn the refuse." It developed later that many offi cers in the Iowa regiment had been in the Spanish-American war, during which cesspools killed thousands. "No reflection on the Iowans," eaid Bispham. "The national guard is all the same. They don t know the lat est developments in sanitation, and we must keep constant vigil. The health of the men is excellent." SENATE ROW BREAKS Xorris Accuses Chamberlain :f Fa voring Private Munition Makers. Washington, July 24. Discussing Increases in appropriation for auto matic machine guns, Senator N orris aroused Chairman Chamberlain of the military committee by saying the com mittee had proposed increases in cases where purchases were to be made from private manufacturers and de creases where articles were to be man ufactured by the government. I am tired of sitting in this senate listening to constant intimations from members opposed to praparedness that this committee is in conspiracy with munition manufacturers," declared Senator Chamberlain. 'I might as well accuse the senator from Ne braska and those who oppose prepar edness with blowing up the people of California at tne preparedness parade tne otner aay. senator i. orris aenied he had ever impugned the motives of the senator. but insisted that appropriations for purchases in every case greater in the bill than those for government manu factures. General increases over house ord nance appropriations were approved by the senate after this flurrv. The appropriation for ordnance stores and suppu was increased from 56,000, 000 to $11,000,000; automatic machine rifles for the regular army from $3, 600,000 to $7,725,000, and automatic machine guns for the national guard from $2,000,000 to $6,586,150; field artillery for national guard from $8. 000.000 to $14,200,000, and ammuni tion for national guard of the field ar tillery from $8,000,000 to $14,000,000.

Another advance of French troops was reported in today's official statement. They carried "strongly fortified blockhouses" south of .Estrees and ejected the Germans from trenches they occupied near-by. Counter-attacks elsewhere along the French front by the Germans were re pulsed. North of Vermandovillers the Ger mans were thrown out of some trenches they had occupied.: On the left bank of the Meuse a German gre nade attack against Hill 304 was checked by machine gun fire. In Al sace the Germans made an unsuccess ful attack following extensive artillery preparation north of Altkircn. The communique also revealed French Mir squadron raids on Pierre pont and Longuey railroad stations, and Mangiesse Bivouac. Still Struggle In Poxleres. London. July 25. The British thrust of today was a hurling forward of an inferno of flame, steel and shot along a five mile front from Thiepval to Longueval. At only three points in this stretch was there contact of .men at Delville and High Woods and pbzieres. The last named village, which is divided by the main highway from Albert to Bapaume itself, housed British and Germans. F.ver since Sunday morning the two forces have 'grappled hand-to-hand in desperate combat. The wide street which stretches out in the town's suburbs to Join the Bapaume highway was "No Man's Land." It was swept by a rain of machine gun bullets from both sides. Now and then the deluge stopped mo mentarily, as forces from one side or the other charged. Then it was bay onet to bayonet. At last reports it seemed that the Anzacs sturdy Brit isn colonials tested in the blazing heat of Gallipoli were slowly but surely Wresting an advantage. Fight With Bayonets. None the less desperate were the struggles for supremacy in th two sparse, forests ot Delville and High rlnaii .The forest themselves. ware lofi'e. Of theleafy foliage nothing remained. Shot and shell and hand grenades had stripped the trees into gaunt "fire-blackened poles, or laid them low on the ground in Inextricable confusion. Behind the barriers of logs the Germans and British fought fiercely. There was no diminution in the artillery fire which General Haig has now been pouring ceaselessly into the German lines since Friday. On the other hand the Germans pounded away with explosive shells, gas shells. shrapnel and machine gun fire. PLOT NATION-WIDE Portions of Bomb Only Evi dence in Frisco Tragedy. Federal Co-operates With Po lice to Find Murderers. San Francisco, July 25. -The special police squadron, organized to hunt t'own those responsible for the explo sion which killed six people and in jured more than forty last Saturday during the preparedness parade, has been divided into three shifts of eight hours each and from today the search will be carried on vigorously during every hour of the day. State and federal officials are co operating in the hunt for the bomb thrower. A coroner's jury, which it is an nounced will conduct a sweeping in vestigation, will begin taking testi mony within a few days. The only tangible evidence in the hands of tbe police is the numerous pieces of the bomb casing and its met al missiles collected after the explo sion. Bit by bit, as these have been brought to the police, the reconstruc tion of the bomb has proceeded and today the shattered instrument of death is to be taken for examination to the experts of one of the large pow der factories across the bay. Dozens of citizens have visited po lice headquarters and told their stories of meeting suspicious charac ters and have given names of many persons here, who by their actions or utterances have led others to believe they might know something of Satur day's explosion. Charles W. Fickert, district attor ney, said: "San Francisco is infested wkh a number of rabid propagandists whose operations Are not confinec" to this 'city but extend all over the United States. I am satisfied that a number of persons were involved in Saturday's tragedy, among them being members of one of the several secret organiza tions that have for 'their purpose the destruction of all government." HOLD SULLEN SUSPECT. I. V AV. Refuses to Explain How He Got ound on Cheek. Fresno, Cal., July 25.

Jacobs was sullen to day when, questioned and told the newspaper men that "It is for the police to. find ouV' how he received his wound. Jacobs was taken into custody when a man "told the police he overheard the Indian remark last night, refer ring to the dynamiting: it was a good Job, but might have been better."

The Kind You Have Always Bought S9 Bears the In Use For Over 30 Years SOLDIERGIRLS" Feminines Scarce, So Men in Role as Dance Partners. Boom Town on Border Has Cabaret in a Cowshed. Columbus, N. M.. July 25. Ameri can soldiers and militiamen with red bandannas worn turban style on their heads are the "girls" in the big cow shed cabaret running full blast for the thousands of fighting men here today. This is just one of the curious feat ures that have sprung up to make the handful of sunbaked shacks on a scorched Texas plain that is Colum bus, a really for sure boom town since the memorable Villa raid. Although Luna county is dry terri tory, so-called social clubs sprung up like magic. They are exceedingly ex clusive. The tender of a silver dollar will procure a membership card. Sixcy barrels of empty bottles of what made Milwaukee famous attest their popu larity. At one time the military or dered the clubs closed after two mur ders and many shootings had followed debauches. New clubs have obtained charters from the state capital. 3-I'lcve Orchestra and Soft Drinks. One of the strangest sights of the camp is the "cabaret." An alert spec ulator built a barn-like structure of corrugated tin and put in a dance floor. He hired an orchestra and started business. Soldiers and truck drivers flocked to the dance hall. The men dance to gether and enjoy it hugely. At times as many as fifty couples of men are on the floor. To the music of a good three-piece orchestra they waltz, two step and fox-trot. Some of the truck drivers just out from the big cities put on fancy dances. The halls is al ways crowded with men drinking soft drinks and watching the dancers. Motor Car Wreck Fatal. Elgin, 111., July 24. Miss Kursule Byrne, 15, 442 West Sixty-third Street, Chicago, is dead of a broken hack and her mother, Mrs. A. E.

Those in the hos pital will recover. None So Deaf As Those Who WiU Not Hear "Not one word, if you please not one word will I listen to against coffee!" That is the attitude of many good people, even after they have, reason to suspect that coffee hurts them. True, some persons seem able for a time to use coffee without apparent harm, but sooner or later it does interfere with the health and comfort of many users. For a sure, easy test suppose you leave off coffee and use This famous food-drink is made of prime wheat, roasted with a bit of wholesome molasses. It has a flavor much like that of the higher grades of mild Java coffee, but is absolutely free from the drug, caffeine, in coffee, or any other harmful sub stance free from all coffee troubles. Postum is delicious and comes in two forms. The original Postum Cereal must be boiled. Instant Postum is a soluble powder made in the cup by adding hot water.

TUM GUARD ON BORDER FOR DRILL, NOT FOR FEAR OF WAR Militia Sent to Mexico Under False Pretenses." Government Was in Distress and Needed Men. NOTHING DOING AT 50 CTS. DAY Uncle Sam Couldn't Persuade Soldiers for Regular Army. Frank Jarrell Brings Latest "Inside" Report From Capital. When the report came over the wire Monday afternoon about United States Senator Townsend's sensational charge that the national guardsmen were taken to the Mexican border un der false pretense, Frank Jarrell, pub licity agent of the Santa Fe railway, who was in the State Journal office, expressed surprise that Townsend waa so slow in bringing his accusation to the attention of the public. "That's an old story in Washington,' said Jarrell, who lately was in the na tional capital on business. "Politicians, whom I know, were talking about it two weeks ago. True, they were not so rough in their verbiage as is Sen ator Townsend, but the language they used easily could have been translated to mean false pretense. "Having a couple of boys on the border," Jarrell continued, "I was con siderably interested in the subject, and asked a good many questions. From the information gleaned, I came to the conclusion that the guard was needed on the border for drill, not for fighting purposes, and that the units would be relieved from duty in January, barring accidents. "While admitting that the guards men were taken to the border more or less under false pretense, my inform ants seemed to be of the opinion that no other method would have brought about the result desired by the ad ministration. In Distress. "The government was in deep dis tress over its failure to induce men to join the regular army for 50 cents a day, and, not caring to establish the precedent of offering soldiers at least as much as is paid to unskilled labor ers in town and on the farm, conceiv ed the brilliant and economical idea of getting up a scare over a phony war, and calling out the national guard The activity of horse thieves on the border gave the administration the necessary excuse, and the native patriotism and inborn proclivity of youth to turn out for a scrap, did the rest. "The guard responded promptly; schoolboys and others rushed to the defense of the flag, which never was in danger, and enlisted both n the sruard and with the regulars, and 100, 000 troops poorly equipped, or not equipped at all, were taken to the border in haste to protect the country against horse thief invasion. In the excitement congress voted for a feder alized militia, which it likely would not have done in time of peace. The Mexican attack at Carrizal, apparently condoned, and several minor shooting scrapes played into the hands of the government, helping to keep up the interest of all true patriots in the bor der difficulty. "When the powers at Washington decided that the country needed a better nucleus of an army, the ques tion of offering respectable wages for regulars, or getting up on the blind side of the national guard, and using it at the old rates, was discussed at length, and the guard scheme adher ents won. The opinion prevailed that the guard would object to being trans formed into a standing army in peace time, so it was arranged to spring the Mexican peril in the belief that the patriotic streak in the average citizen would make it possible for him to try anything once. Six Months of Training. "A six months period of training was agreed upon. In that time, it is claimed by military men, the border army will be equal to that of any other army of its size on earth. The guardsmen then will be permitted to return to their homes, and the gov ernment will feel comfortable over the fact that It has 200,000 trained soldiers ready to repel or attack an armed foe in a few hours' notice. "That is the secret of the border campaign, as I got it from Washing ton politicians in position to know. While somewhat underhanded on the part of the framers, and rather rough on a small minority of the country's citizenship, the scheme perhaps was the best that could have been devised for the purpose sought to be accom plished. From Bottom of Dock. "Surprise is expressed that the gov ernment would resort to that kind of a trick, but there is no ground for surprise. A rich and powerful gov ernment that requires men to defend it with their lives for 60 cents a day, board and clothes, cannot be expected to refrain from occasionally dealing from the bottom of the deck when it finds itself on the losing side of the game. "Never since the Civil war has there been so fine an opportunity for mili tary practice as is presented on the border now, and when the six months' period is up, the people of the United States will have reason to feel proud of its army nucleus. Repel First Invasion. "In event of a real war with Japan, or with cme or more of the victors in the European conflict a possibility remote, but one which is in every body's mind the United States will have an army sufficient to take care of the first invasion, while trained of ficers, thanks to the border expi ment, will be on hand to lick into shape the million or so volunteers un der the first call to arms. "Military men and politicians in Washington, I learned, are impressed with the protest of guardsmen to the effect that the new army program forces a comparatively small per cent of the citizenship to carry the burden, while the vast majority is relieved of all responsibility, except the payment of 50 cents a day per soldier, and keep. It is admitted that the present arrangement is unfair, and that the burden will have to be shifted a bit. else the military establishment will be faced by danger of demoralization be cause of the general dissatisfaction on the part of the guard victims. Care of Families. "Washington gossip is that the gov ernment's refusal to provide for the destitute wives and children of sol diers, and the apathy on the part of public generally in the movement to take up a collection for this purpose, are greater obstacles in the path of national guard development than the sand, wind, alkali water and taran tulas with which the soldiers contend In their border service. The fact that there are dependent families of the country's defenders in absolute want has made a national scandal which will not down which ought not to down, till the wrong is righted by the government paying its soldiers a living wage. "About two-thirds of the men I in terviewed in Washington thought mo bilization on the border would prevent war; the others thought mobilization would cause it." USE SIMPLE RULE Farmers Should Be Careful to Keep Milk Clean. Strained Milk Sours More Quickly, Says K. S. A. C. Manhattan, Kan., July 25. Milk which is Btrained may become sour more readily than unstrained milk, according to O. W. Hunter, assistant professor of bacteriology at the Kan sas State Agricultural college. "Straining does not enhance the keeping qualities of milk," asserts Mr. Hunter. "It removes the larger par ticles of filth, but in the process it breaks up the small clumps of bac teria, thereby facilitating bacterial growth and increasing the danger of souring. "The acid which is a product of the growth of certain kinds of bacteria is produced more readily when the bac teria are scattered than when they are in masses. The ordinary wire strainer separates the bacteria and distributes them throughout the milk." The strainer has been used to re move visible dirt, explained Mr. Hunt er, but it is the invisible particles which do the most harm to milk. The production of milk entirely free from bacteria is not possible on the average dairy farm. Rules Are Simple. "The rules which a dairyman needs to follow are few," said Mr. Hunter. "He should provide clean surround ings. Milking before rather than af ter feeding lessens the danger of con tamination from the dust of the hay. Washing the flanks and udder of each cow prevents hair and dust from fall ing into the pail. The use of a small topped pail cuts the bacterial count down to a great extent. "Milk should be cooled Immediately in a screened, sanitary milk room. The process of souring Is delayed twice as long in milk cooled imme diately and kept cooled as in milk al lowed to stand at the ordinary room tern peratu re. "The dairyman who follows these rules has no need for straining his milk. If he should prefer to, however, the strainer whether It be of cloth or wire should be sterilized each time before using. MORE WATER AT BELLEVILLE. Town Will Dig Two New Wells to Add to Supply. Belleville, Kan., July 25. The city has ordered two new wells dug, to be added to the already excellent water source. It is really surprising how the demand upon the city wells has increased it has practically doubled within the past rew days, hence it is necessary from time to time to take on additional water supply. In addition to supplying the rail roads, the new ice plant, street sprink ling and other demands, the new mod ern residen -es have dr-wn heavily on the water supply. ST. PAUL TO HOLD REUNION.

Many Erie people will attend, as they have been accustomed to, year after year. CATCH BAND OF BOY ROBBERS. Children of Prominent Sedgwick Fam ilies In Gang of Crooks. Wichita, Kan., July 25. Sedgwick's greatest mystery is solved. On the night of July S, burglars crept into the little town just over the county line in Harvey county, and robbed Hayden Brothers' store -f scores of firearms of all descriptions, and thousands of rounds of ammuni tion. The perpetrators of the great robbery one the natives of the vil lage still talk cautiously about were home town boys, youngsters coming from the best families in that com munity. These revelations came when a posse, led by Sheriff Sarver of Sedg wick county and Sheriff Smith of Harvey county, found the "plants" of the "robbers," located the rifles and ammunition, and arrested three boys. The .youths arrested, and who later fessed to several robberies in and near Sedgwick, are: Ellis Miller, 17, son of a well known farmer near Sedgwick. Hallle Miller, 15. Herman Wallace, 16, son of Orin Wallace, a pioneer farmer residing at Sedgwick. POP-POPS ON ENDURANCE RUN. Dozens of Riders Will Start on Trip Through Kansas. Ellsworth, Kan.. July 25.

A horse, afflicted with a mysterious disease, the symptoms of which were almost ident ical with those of the dread infantile paralysis, died in the barn lot of Dr. U. A. Marney's animal hospital, on North Main street. An" hour later a large bulldog, which had been in the lot with the horse, succumbed sud denly from the same strange disease. Doctor Marney, who is considered one of the high class veterinarians in Kansas, was unable to explain the two deaths. And while he agreed that the case diagnosed symptoms that corre spond in almost every detail with in fantile paralysis, he declared that he did not consider that the scourge of the human race could be infected in the animal kingdom. Both the ani mals had been ill for some time, but were believed improving, the doctor said, when at noon yesterday the horse became violently seized with a sort of convulsion. CAUGHT I. W. W. GUN MAN. "Tex" Kelly, Charged With Shooting, Returned to Norton County. Norton, Kan., July 25. Sheriff Payton haR returned from Belleville bringing with him the man who had been taken from the Rock Island train at Belleville the night before on sus picion that he was "Tex" Kelly, who is wanted here on the charge of attempt ed murder of R. E. Williams. He was lodged in the county jail. Kelly was taken to the Lathrop hos pital, where Williams is being cared for, and the latter identified him in stantly. On Kelly inquiring how he felt, he answered immediately: "Not so well as before you shot me." The party who furnished the de scription of Kelly to Sheriff Payton described a scar which the suspect carries on his right cheek. He also stated that Kelly had been released from jail in Colby last Tuesday morn ing. GIVE BEST RACE PROGRAM. Several New Features at Morris County Annual Speed Fest, Council Grove. Kan., July 25.

ALMOST AN UNCANNY ABILITY Farmers Believe a Doolittle Date Will Break Dry Spell. Chance of a Lifetime for a Man Who Wants Votes. Call for Rainmaker Doolittle. That is the cry that has come from several Fourth district towns during the last week. A press dispatch from Washington today states Doolittle has received several urgent calls for speeches in his district. All because he won and defended a reputation as a rainmaker in the campaign of two years ago. Doolittle's record for producing rain in 1914 was almost beyond be lief. But the weather records in the towns he visited showed he delivered the needed moisture in a half dozen communities. Now there is a demand for his hasty return to Kansas wheth er congress adjourns or not. The mere presence or absence of one congress man is not of vital concern in Wash ington at this time. But if Doolittle can make good his record ol two years ago and deliver rain following his speeches, then he is a real asset and an established institution in his dis trict. A Weather Prophet. It was following a tilt on the plat form in 1914 that Doolittle told a Coffey county crowd he would speak but a few minutes In reply to a man who had preceded him. Then Doo little explained that rain was more to be desired than a political speech. There wasn't a cloud in the skies and when Doolittle predicted a soaker be fore the meeting closed, the. crowd hooted. Twenty minutes later, a heavy thunder shower drove the crowd to cover and the Fourth district con gressman was heralded as a weather prophet. Two weeks later, during a protract ed drouth. Doolittle spoke at a Lyon county picnic. He predicted rain be fore the close of the day. His predic tion came true. On other occasions he promised rain following a speech and so far as trie available record shows, he batted 1,000 during the entire sea son. Drouth in Fourth. Now there is a drouth in the Fourth district.- The county needs rain and the farmers have forgotten the wheat harvest and two bumper crops of al falfa in the fear and dread which concerns, the corn crop. In several localities the farmers have recalled Congressman Doolittle's almost un canny ability to produce rain or at least to make good his predictions during the campaign of 1914. So a call has gone to Washington for Doo little's return to the Fourth district. "I understand you have agreed to make an address at the Wheaton 'pic nic July 29, provided congress ad journs by then." said a Pottawatomie county farmer in a letter to the con gressman.

And the probabilities are that there are not a dozen voters in Texas who were even reasonably familiar with more than a few of the names of the hordes of candidates that were on these ballots. Even some of its warmest champions are beginning to admit that the pri mary Is falling woefully short of deliv ering the goods that were expected of it. If a good, big rain doesn't hit these parts pretty soon, the fish hereabouts will be at their wits end to quench their thirst, let alone finding enough water in which to swim. The Kaw has begun to drop below the six-foot mark. In her blacklist against divers Amer ican firms with German, connections Great Britain seems finally to have committed a diplomatic blunder from whlnh she must recede. Heretofore, most of Britain's blunders in the war have been of the military or naval variety. How human! The late Elie Metch nikoff. the famous Russian savant, who died in Pails the other day at the age of 71,, and who prescribed a sour milk diet for others as a means of increasing the span of life tc possibly 150 years well, he drank champagne for himself. Some of the folk who are always looking for the bug under the chip may possibly see a connection between the keenness of "Bill" Sulzer's desire for the Prohibition party's presidential nomination and the fact that this party begins business this season with a campaign fund of $250,000 and tvhich it hopes to increase to a round million before long, r Why don't the chemist who arc turning out the deadly and tear-malting gases for the European belliger- ents, inject a little irony into the shambles along the active battle fronts by producing a gas that will make its Victims laugh themselves to death? No doubt now about the hen bein: entitled to her "helpful" characteriza. tion. A Topekan recently traded off five hens and in return he received a team of horses, real, live horses, too, and he didn't have to give anything to boot. One of the horses, perhaps. wasn't quite as good as the other, as it took three hens to land one animal while the other only cost two hens. This bad egg plot that agents of the federal government are said to have unearthed also indicates that business may be "rotten" in more than one re spect. Count Boni de Castellane, an erst while member by marriage of the Gould family, must liava another rich and foolish heiress in sight. Else why his persistency in petitioning the Holy fee to annul his marriage to tlte for mer Anna Gould, and which appears to be the only way through which he may legally marry again within the pale of the Roman Catholic church. The church has already denied several petitions of this character from Boni, but this only seems to spur him on to dig up new reasons why such a peti tion should be granted. It is evident that what Boni needs most these days is a substantial meal ticket and that he has his eye on one. i Even the Hades that Dante imag ined and pictured has no terrors and horrors that can so much as compare in any way with those that are devel oping dally in the momentous and monstrous battles that the Germans and the English and the French are fighting in the western war i.one. PARALYSIS PREVENTION. To control the present epidemic of infantile paralysis, according to a statement Issued by the United States Public Health Service, the chain of infection between persons harboring germs of the disease and the well members of the community should be broken. This dread ailment of childhood is probably caused by a very minute or ganism found In the nasal, mouth and bowel discharges of those who have the disease or who are carriers of the germ without themselves suffering from the malady. All of the steps in the spread of the infection are not known, but If the germ can be pre vented from passing from the Infected to the well person, the disease will cease. Infantile paralysis is not a disease of recent 'origin, this statement points out. Sporadic or scattered cases of it have occurred throughout the coun try for many years, but it is only dur ing the last decade that the infection has assumed epidemic proportions in the United States. It is probably spread directly or in directly, through the medium of in fective secretions. Account must therefore be taken by communities of every means by which such secretions are dissemin ated. Promiscuous expectoration should be controlled. The common drinking cup affords a method for the inter change of material of this nature and should therefore be abolished. Rigid cleanliness of glasses and utensils at soda fountains, in saloons and other public places should be enforced. Flies, roaches and other vermin, by coming in contact with Infective secre tions, may possibly convey them to cur food and thus directly bring about the development of disease. There fore eliminate insects. Street and he use dust bear a definite i elation to the spread of many infections and it is not unreasonable to presume that they may be a factor in the dissemination of infantile paralysis. Maintain strict cleanliness of streets, yards iind alleys In order to prevent the breeding of in sects and other vermin. See that all garbage and waste are properly cared for and collected at regular and fre quent intervals. Guard all food sup plies, especially milk and other per ishable products, Digestive troubles of children arising from the ingestion of food of questionable quality may lower resistance. Assemblies of chil dren in infected localities are to be discouraged, if not actually forbidden. While the above measures are in a sense general, and applicable to many epidemic diseases, their importance should not be overlooked. Individual preventive measures may be thus summarized: Summon a physician at once and immediately notify the health officer of the presence of the disease. If the disease is present in the community, medical aid should be sought when ever a child is sick, no matter how light the illness; many cases of infan tile paralysis begin with a slight in disposition. Should the illness prove to be Infantile paralysis isolate the pa tient, place a competent person in charge, and reduce all communication with the sick room to a minimum. Hospital care is preferable, not only for the child but in order to better safeguard against the spread of the disease. The sick room should be well ventilated and screened. Nasal and mouth secretions should be received in cloths, placed in a paper bag, and burned. The clothing of the child, the bed linen, and the excretions should be disinfected in the same nanner as for typhoid fever, that is by boiling, the long continued applica tion cf 5 per cent carbolic, or other well recognized disinfectant. The same Is true for dishes and drinking vessels. Nurses should exercise the same pre cautions as regards cleanliness of hands in caring for infantile paralysis patients as for those afflicted with other infectious diseases. A child may convey the disease to others even after a lapse of several weeks. For this reason quarantine should be maintained for a consider able period, usually from six to eight weeks, and the above precautions should be adhered to during this time. Disinfection of the room following re covery is advisable. TRADE IS STILL, GOOD. "A good undertone exists in the stock market, based largely upon ex rellent home conditions." writes Henry Clews, the New Tork banker, in the course of his current weekly financial review, and he goes on: "Trade is very active, considering this is the season of midsummer quiet; and bank clearings are still running over 40 per cent ahead of last year, the gains be ing well distributed throughout the country. A satisfactory feature is the reactionary tendency of such com modities as had risen unduly high ow ing to war demands and actual scare ity. These declines come not so much from cessation of demand as from pro duction overtaking consumption. The principal reactions have been in met' alB and chemicals which were unduly inflated by war. Breadstuffs are also lower, though hides, leather and fruit are at about top figures. Bradstreet's Index figure stood at 11.5294 July 1 a decline of l.S per cent compared with a month ago and 2 per cent with April 1. the previous high point. Crop reports are more encouraging. Higher temperatures materially benefited corn, which now promises a good crop. Wheat also improved slightly, but no one expects a big yield of wheat this year. Cotton reports were more favorable despite damage from floods In the south. Upon tne whole the crop outlook la satisfactory, there be- ins no great gains and no serious de ficiencies. In industrial circles no no ticeable cessation of action can be ob served. The steel trade is still run ning at practically top speed, and profits of the big steel corporation are reported at the marvelous rate of 30 per cent for the last quarter. Of course such abnormal results cannot last, and it is worthy of note that this unexampled prosperity has not been made the basis of any speculative orgies, such as was the former cus tom. So much for trie better stand ards of conduct which prevail In Wall Street than formerly. Railroad earn ings abundantly prove trado activity. June reports indicated an increase of 25 per cent over last year, and this rate promises to continue during July. While a portion of this increase is at tributable to better rates, the larger volume of traffic is the main and most eJcome factor. The question of a big railroad strike must soon be decided, at. the men are now voting upon the question of Kiving their leaders the ripht to order a strike to enforce their demands. The seriousness of the sit uation is so great that every effort will be made to avert so grave a public inconvenience. President Wilson has been asked to interfere, and hope re mains that sober second thought on both sides will prevent a rupture. Nevertheless this issue will be an im portant factor in the early future. Too many people use defective scales for weighing their words. Some people also seem to get pleas ure out of causing trouble for others. A conceited woman is quite bad enough, but. a conceited man is worse. The crop that every one should cul tivate most assiduously Is common sense. Lots of people are so weak-kneed that they won't go ahead even when they know they're in the right. There is one consolation, to the Bonner Springs Chieftain. No matter which ticket wins this fall, there will oe an experienced hand at the helm of the vice presidency. With the hay harvest in full awlnir. it is now time for the farmers ad vises the Toronto Republican, to vac cinate against the agents for cyclo pedias. In these days of high cost ot !lv- ng, sighs the Seneca Tribune, whv does the cantaloupe intrude while we are still wrestling with the blackber ries ana there s gasoline to buy? Faola out door bathers have 't all over the ocean beach bathers on the New Jersey coast, declares the Miami Republican, an It explains: Th?re are no sharks in Bull creek. Our Kansas sharks are all of the dry land variety. A Clay Center man told his small son that he would pay him 10 cents a hundred for all the flies he killed in the house, tells the Clay Center Times.' uut tne old man had to call off the proposition. He found the boy leaving the doors all open to let the flies in. so tha he would hare something to swai. Senator Tom Potter of Peabodv is to marry the sijter of his daughter-in-law, reports the Newton Kansan- Republican, and it adds: Thus the senator will become a brother-in-law of his son's wife, and the father of the senator's son will become the uncle of his own grandchildren. Also his son's wife will become the step daughter of her own sister. Not many years ago. writes the Elmdale correspondent of the Chase County Leader, one of the principal attractions at a street parade in Em poria was to see Governor Stanley riding at the head of the procession in an automobile. Last Saturday the streets of our little town were lined on both sides with cars in which the farmers of the community had .come to town with their families to trade and visit while the horses that used to nave to stand at the hitching racks and stomp flies were enjoying them selves at nome in tne pastures. GLOBE CFrom the Atchison Globe. Sane people seem crazy to a lunatic. The mark some people make in the world is a crooked trail. A friend is said to be one who knows you and still likes you. A man is old in baseball who would be young In the legal profession. Sometimes a girl marries her Ideal. and then develops a new taste in idea la A man doesn't have to ponder long to convince himself that a luxury Is a necessity. A number of men who receive no other legacy, inherit their politics irom tneir tatners. Probably you are young enough If you continue to look rorward instead of looking backward. Behold the man on the motorcycle! Where is he going that he should be tn such a hurry? It is always difficult to convince a farmer that a man who wears good clothes Isn't holding down a soft snap. QUAKER MEDITATIONS. From the Philadelphia Record. When a man loses his heart, he has to nave a pretty good head to fall back on. No, Maude, dear; a crusade against rum is not necessarily a Santa Cruz- aae. The only woman who knows how to manage a husband is the woman who nas never nad one.

Always have your ten-year-old kid drive your car when you are not using It yourself. Then you can spend, your money defending damage suits and will be able to die poor, which is a laudable ambition. Blame your car for everything that happens, even when you run out of oil and gasoline. Blow your horn every two minutes. for then everybody will know that you are a' new driver and will get out of your way. -t Elegy of the Auto. The boast of heraldry, the pomp of power, And all the beauty of the fine ma chine. Give 'way alike In the inevitable hour, When suddenly you're out or gaso line. BY RUTH CAMERON. So Do We All. "The Lord loveth a cheerful giver." One could well understand that He would. Emerson says, "I would rather rise from my chair than be served by one who does it not ior love. For myself, I would rather be re fused any favor or service point blank than be granted It grudg ingly. M In the one case, one kuuwo jum where one stands. One is unaer no obligation. In the other, one is lold under an obligation and yet one can feel no gratitude for grudging service. On the contrary. It leaves one with an unsatisfied, resentful feeling. Once upon a time, my motner sent me to borrow a scarf from a neigh bor of ours. I was going to my first party. Mother thought I needed a scarf and, as I had none, she sent me to borrow It of one of her friends. My mother would have gladly loaned that friend the dress off her back and it never occurred to hvr mat sne wouiu do lesa The friend had plenty or scans thro tn fact. She brought them out and showed them to me and then told me the reasons wny sne wasn t anx ious to loan them to me. After doing that, however, she picked out tne least attractive of the three and told me to take it- I tried to refuse it, but she forced it upon me. I took it because I was young and awkward and didn't know how to do otherwise. but I didn't take it to the party. To day, I havo an ungovernable dislike for that woman. She is a very estimable person. I know I. ought to like her, but I simply can t. I am displeased witn myseir and I often scold myself about the matter, but still the unreasoning dis like remains, and I attribute it at least partially to the time when she render ed me a service so ungraciously that It was really a dls-service. I write this, not to Justify my dis like, for I think it Is unjustifiable, but to show how deep an impression such an experience can make. I met a friend of mine going to town late in the afternoon the other day. "I'm terribly tired," she said; "but I simply must match this silk today, or I can't get Rose's dress done for the party and she has set her heart upon it." This woman has a friend who lives with her, and for whom she does a good deal. The friend goes to town every day. "Why didn't you let Mabel match It?" I asked. I said "let," be cause I thought it a privilege. She hesitated. "1 don't like to ask her to do things like that." "Why not? Isn't she willing to?" "Yes: that is I suppose so; she al ways does them; but when I ask her she never says cordially that she would be glad to. She always an swers in a hesitating way. I sup pose it's foolish, but I've got so that I can't bear to ask her." Perhaps it is foolish, but I know how she feels.

The prospect of a night on one of the park benches, supperlesa, break fastless, with another long day of hope less trudging the streets in a vain quest for work, brought a whimsical twist to his lips, sent his heart plung ing thousands of fathoms in his breast. Pausing abruptly before one of tho glittering White Way cafes he medi tated grimly for a moment, then bold ly entered. It was hardly likely that any of his old friends would recog nize him now, bearded, broken, re duced in flesh and finance almost "seedy." Indifferent to the score of curious glances leveled at him from eyes that were familiar enough (had they known it), he walked the full length of the room and addressed himself to the head waiter. He had tried everything else, and here, at least, was a forlorn chance. But the smug Dorkins once so eager for the wealthy Berwick's favors stared at him coldly, with the curt announcement that they had more help already than they could use. Relwick turned away a little hope lessly. He had covered less than a block when he was arrested by a light touch on his arm. He turned, startled. A pompous, well-groomed little man was holding out a crisp yellow bill. Relwick drew back Involuntarily. "Pardon me, sir, but did you drop this a moment ago? I saw you pull out your handkerchief, and The other smiled, shook his head. "Thank you, no it is not mine." He started off, but his new acquaintance intercepted him at the crossing. "Thank you, my friend, for your honesty. It is a rare thing to meet with these daya And your evident condition makes tne contrast even more striking. As a matter of fact. I Just took the bill out of my own pocket to see If you were to be tempted We my young daughter and myself were back there In the cafe a while ago when you came in and applied for work. Barbara is head over ears In philanthropy Just now it's her fad and she insisted that I follow you up and investigates Relwick flushed uncomfortably. "I appreciate your interest, sir, but I am not asking for charity yet. All I want is-a chance!" "And all I want," remarked Dere forth enthusiastically, "is an honest business force. Would you consider the position of Janitor? Relwick's eyes brightened. "No work is too humble for me right now, to start with. I am absolutely strap ped." Then come to the office at six in the morning. Here is my card, with the' address." He hesitated a second, then dove into his pocket and drew forth a two-dollar note. "A day's pay in advance. You may find need for it tonight. I shall expect you, then?" Relwick nodded and they parted. Promptly at the appointed hour, he made his appearance at the offices of Dereforth Co. To his surprise, the pompous little man of the night before reached there but a few moments later. "Early to bed and early to rise," he greeted him cordially. "That Is why I am the manager of this business to day; that is the way I mean to hold on. Now to business!" Three days later Relwick found himself elevated to the position of clerk. Two weeks after that the as sistant bookkeeper went, and he was again promoted. There was no doubt that Dereforth was eminently pleased with his "dis covery." Soon he began to take a keen personal interest in him also, and Invited him often to his home. In those few weeks of association he had learned that Relwick belonged to the old New York family of that name, that he had struck out for himself when almost a boy, making a fortune in some western mining business, that reverses had followed and that every cent of his money had been sunk in the attempt to develop worthless veins. This had driven him back home, after half a score of years, in the hope that he could make a fresh start and gather sufficient funds to reopen the mining project. Barbara Dereforth was an only daughter. The first time Relwick saw her he fell in love with her. But Richard, her foster brother, perceiv ing with the eyes of jealousy what the girl herself had hardly guessed, lost little time in acquainting Rel wick with the truth that his mar riage to Barbara was an understood thing as soon as she had reached her I majority. And, accustomed to self- repression, the assistant DooKkeeper, though inwardly eating his heart out, showed only the mask of conventional friendship and polite courtesy to the girl who, in spite of herself, gave every evidence of a far deeper interest in Relwick than she had ever shown for her selfish, adopted brother. And so things went on, smooth enough to all outward appearances, but inwardly turbulent. In course of time, Relwick was made head bookkeeper- Richard's an tagonism blazed at this time into open rebellion toward Relwick. Mr. Dereforth; on the eve of an out-of-town trip, summoned the book keeper to his desk. "I shall be absent from the city a couple of days, Rel wick. I have decided to leave the settlement of all important matters in your hands. I wish to show you tbe combination to my private safe. I feel quite satisfied tu have a man like yourself in charge." Three days later, Relwick was again summoned to his employer's office. The older man held in his hand a crisp, ten-dollar bill. "Thank you very much for the loan of this, Rel wick. Sit down. I want a few words with you." His face was rather pale, his eyes contracted. Relwick, vaguely uncomfortable, took the opposite chair. Dereforth resumed: "The fewer words the better. We both, understand THE SCIENTIST the situation thoroughly. I need only say that I am bitterly disappointed in you. I have found you an invaluable asset in my business, but dishonesty is one of the things I cannot and will not tolerate. I shall let the matter drop on condition that the money Is re stored to avoid anything like un pleasant publicity, but Relwick flushed crimson. "I am afraid I do not understand you, Mr. Dereforth. I Dereforth lifted a silencing hand. He reached in his pocket and -produced a greenback. "For some time, I have been missing sums of money around here. I had a number of these bills marked and left them in tha safe when I went away. Now, do I make myself clear?" Relwick had grown very white. But he said nothing. "I understand," the other resumed, "that you spent the evening In the society of my girl last night. I hope It is unnecessary for me to tell you not to see Barbara again. You know, of course, that on her twenty-first birthday she Is to become the wife of my adopted son, though there exists no formal engagement between them." Richard! Relwick's brain worked rapidly. Richard wAs the only other man in the office who had access to the private safe. For weeks he had been frequenting the racetrack and dissipating rather wildly in many waya His limited income had driven him to this extremity, then. And if Barbara loved him Without another word Relwick wrote out his resignation, handed it to his superior, and arose. Just here the door opened noise lessly and Barbara stood on the threshold, her face rosy with blushes, her eyes sparkling like sapphires. Almost simultaneously, Richard en tered from the opposite direction and came up to her. With a hurried glance toward the bookkeeper's pal lid profile,- she smiled, addressing her foster brother. "Really, Richard. I must beg off from the matinee today. I have prom ised to visit a poor woman who is dying of tuberculosis, and I want to take the family some money. I have only a fifty-dollar note. Could you change it into tens for me?" The flush deepened in her cheeka Why, yes, but can't you defer vour visit a few hours?" he asked sulkily as he took a roll of bills from his pocket and counted them out Barbara shook her head gravely. "She may not live that long nd we can change our date easily. Here is the fifty thanks. But you've given me only four tens and and why, look! Each one of them has a tiny hole clipped in the center. How odd!" "Possibly Relwick will let me have the bill I gave him this morning for petty cash. Here is some silver Barbara looked at Relwick. Relwick looked at the floor. Dereforth looked at Relwick. Richard turned sudden ly and left the room. Slowly Dereforth lifted the paper on which Relwick had written his resig nation and tore ft into bits. He held out his hand. "Why did you do it. Bob?" he asked, unconsciously employing the name. There was a shamed expression on his face; his voice shook. Barbara approached and stood with one hand resting on the bookkeeper's chair back. He turned and met her eyes. Each flushed in turn. Hut no body spoke. Suddenly Dereforth rose, smiled and started out. With his hand on the doorknob, he cleared his throat. His eyes shone fiercely beneath the shaggy brows. "When a fellow turns fool enough to sacrifice his good name, and a girl makes up her mind to play detective to save him from his idiocy, T guess there's Just one answer." And the door slammed.

Spices play an Important part in dietics, as they promote the secre tion of the gastric juices. That they also possess medicinal value is shown by the fact the allspice is frequently administered for griping due to purgatives and the oil is claimed to be very good to relieve rheumatism and neuralgia. Cardamons in the form of a tincture are used for stomach troubles. They also are the flavoring agents of curry powders. Cloves are stimulants and are of value in dyspepsia and in cases of vomiting during pregnancy. every body is acquainted with the oil of cloves as a toothache remedy. East Indian Sweetmeat.

Then, too, Terry always slept with one eye open, as you would have found'for yourself had you tried to catch him!

San Antonio. July 2 S. The First Illinois brigade resumed its march to the government military reservation at Leon Springs with only three men missing; They are at the base hos pital here but the record indicated j their return was due to ordinary ill neas rather than to the rigor of the march. So poor a showing was made yesterday when the Illinois men had covered in light marching order less than ten miles, that officers of the regular army were watching the re- suit of todays march, aoout the same distance, with unusual interest. Almost one-third of the brigade fell out yes terday at one time or another and re ceived "lifts" in ambulances, motor trucks or passing automobiles to whose drivers they appealed. The fact that none of them were returned to the hospital here during the night, however, convinced army of ficers at the base that most of the stragglers were shirkers rather than victims of heat and fatigue.

July 25. A "hardening' school for mollycoddles" is to be established at once by General Funston. The object will be to overcome ear ly disadvantages and make men of mother's pets. State troops who drop out in the first few miles of a practice march will be enrolled in the school. Such men in every company will, by orders of the general, be riven special drills to- harden them. Also, and more traaic they will not be permitted to leave camp, for this class of soldiers interferes sadly with, the hardening process by eating inordinate quanti ties of ice cream and watermelon and pie and by mixing beer and soda pop as beverages, when they are permitted to go to town. "I tried the hardening school method very succeaafuily with, some of the men of my Kansas regiment which went to the Philippines," said General Funston. "It worked wonders and the mollycoddles who lacked the grit and pride to stick soon found it was better to screw courage up a bit and not drop out" Can't Marcfe Ten Miles.. The general determined on trying the hardening school throughout the state troop organizations when civil ians reported that 44 or 50 men of the First Illinois infantry had dropped out in the first few miles of the hike in wards Leon Springs for target prac tice. Se sent out motor trucks to pick the stragglers up. but it was found most of those who had fallen by the wayside had been given lifts by the ambulances or equipment trucks. The first day's hike for the Illinois boys was but 10 miles and their packs were carried by the trucks. That any of them at aU dropped, out after a month in camp here, angered General Funston.

Today he is mental wreck temporarily, at least, an imbecile. Tomorrow he will be -taken to a state hospital for the ln;fene. &o one is to blame. It isn t one ol the- cases that can be charged up to "society" or social conditions. Physi cians who examined the boy today had oniy a theory to work upon but they charge his mental condition to lack of development, the abnormal develop ment or perhaps the disarrangement of tome one of the glands that regu lar the human system. The boy has been reared near Ross vilte. He has attended school, has made good average grades and shown excellent mental ability. He is healthy, good looking and until his trouble came on was a manly little fellow. About four weeks ago his people noticed something peculiar about him. H(;began wandering around over the farm and gave peculiar answers to ordinary questions. After one of his trijvs his mother asked him what he had been doing, CI went out to a if the corn is big ne&jgh to cultivate," was his reply. 9he corn had already been culti vated the third and last time the particular corn to which ho referred. Lrfftpr he was put into another field with a- cultivator to finish up the cul tivating. He went along as usual for a t3me then turned the team crosswise of'the field and plowed the corn up askhe went.-.r Lies Down In the Sun. gnce then he has shown no interest in anything. He walks along with his hed bowed between his shoulders with his eyes half closed. He will walk for hours if allowed to do so. Frequently he has wandered out into a field in the sun. lain down with the tefifiperature past the century mark, and remained there until someone found him. Xhe boy took absolutely no interest In iis own case today. His mother, whip has been saddened by the shock, wail there and told of his actions. She told of the other hoy he had been only a few weeks ago. how he worked in ctrool and on the farm and what premise he gave of becoming a man aniong men. One of the physicians who exam ined him sfated that such cases are frefluent among boys and girls and that the fact that fathers and mothers donot place them in some institution whpre they can get proper treatment hundreds to the population of insane asylum, later on. ?This case has been handled prop erly." he said. "The boy has been brought 'n during the acute stage. He Bt:v9ds an excellent chance of recov ei'vpg from this condition. Probablv hcv,;would get better if let alone, but he.i,would suffer another attack and atiU others. Eventually it would be coe chronic -and there would he nothing to do except to place him in eofHe institution permanently. I be lief that with proper treatment he writ recover.

The "baby who never smiles" has smiled. Mrs. Bundy, matron at the county detention home, who knows its history and Its prospects, doesn't know why it smiled. It has nothing about which to smile, but it did smile. Mrs. Bundy saw it, she told others who are interested In the little unfortunate, and they smiled. Probably if the "baby who never smiles" could look into the future it would not go to the trouble to smile. With no father, a crippled mother "who does not want it, and deformities that will forever bar it from speech and from a good home, there is no reason why it should smile. During the months it was tossed about deserted by its mother, barred from a hospital because it raised is baby voice in protest against the in justices of lit, it did not smile. All it could do was to cry. But after the foundling was placed in Mrs. Bundy's hands there came a change. It responded to a plentiful supply of good food and to such cuddling and fondling as normal babies are born to. There were lulls in the storm of tears. Thre came whole hours when the baby was quiet. And yesterday not knowing about any such thing as a future the baby smiled. Kansans Among Best. Washington, July 25. National guard infantry organization encamped at Eagle Pass.

Kansas, Texas, Arkansas, Mis souri and Minnesota on Hand. DECIDE ON VALUATION METHOD Kansas City Southern Figures Under Investigation. Result of Conference Important to Western Roads. Representatives of public utilities commissions from five states are in conference in Topeka today concern ing basis of railroad valuations. State commissioners from Kansas, Texas, Arkansas, Missouri, and Minnesota are attending the conference which is one of the most important utilities meetings in Kansas in several years. State commissioners are In Topeka primarily to discuss the basis of val uation making as adopted in the case of the Kansas City Southern. Adop tion of this method, however, will af fect all railroads and the meeting is of vital concern in the making of valuation figures in western states. In the case- of the Kansas City Southern valuation figures were compiled by the bureau of valuation acting under the direction of the interstate com merce commission. Details concerning methods employed were explained this afternoon by C. B. Aitkison of Washington, D. C, counsel for the valuation committee of the national association of railway commissioners. They Are Vt Apart. There is a wide difference in the figures compiled by the railroads and those gathered by the national asso ciation of railway commissioners. Ev ery detail of the method pursued in the case of the Kansas City South ern was discussed at today's confer ence. Approval of the method used in collecting valuation figures in this case, will mean adoption of similar methods in the gathering of informa tion affecting other railroads. The Kansas City Southern is the first road in this territory to come under the policy of the national association. Ali members of the Kansas com mission are attending the conference which is in session this afternoon in the offices of the commission in the state house. Six states Kansas. Mis souri, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Texas and Louisiana are affected by the Kan sas City Southern valuations. Louis iana, however, maintains no state de partment for the collection of railroad valuation facts. Representatives- from other states are: R. D. Parker, engineer, and R. Emmerson, inspector, Texas commis sion; D. T. Jurgensen, engineer Min nesota commission; T. E. Wood, chair man Arkansas commission, and How ard B. Shaw, a member of the Missouri state commission.' HIRE S. S. SPECIALIST Methodists In Topeka Adopt Com munity Center Plan. O. J. Bowman, of Portland, Oregon, has been appointed "Sunday school specialist" of the First M. E. church. The creation of the position of a Sun day school specialist is a novelty in Topeka church life and Is one of the solutions which several of the larger churches of the country are trying in their efforts 'to make the church more of a community center, "The appointment is right in line with action taken by leading metro politan churches all over the coun try," Dr. Benjamin F. Young, pastor of the First church, said today. "In Portland several of the leading churches tried the experiment with marked success. Mr. Bowman Is one of the pioneers in the movement and has had charge of 'Religious Educa tion' in the leading churches of Port land, Detroit and Chicago." The specialist will organize the so cial, musical, Bible study and athletic activities of the young people of the church. He will also have charge of the music of the First church during the summer. Tennis and volley ball courts will be started under his su pervision. A survey of the social, musical, ath letic and other accomplishments of the 2,000 members of the Sunday school of the First M. E. church has been started to serve as the basis for Bowman to work on in organizing the young people's activities. A list of questions has been mailed to each member, asking them as to their musical qualifications, athletic abili ties, their interests In social service work, their ability to recite, sing or play, and their interest in Bible study. The second of a series of five Wednesday social evenings will be held tomorrow at the church. RAN RUSS GAUNTLET Turk Cruiser Breaks Tlirouph Block ade of Czar's Warships.

DEAD FROM LOCKJAW Gardener Struck Boy With Grass Shears; Charge Manslaughter. Chicago, July 25. William A. Ul rey, aged 15, is dead at his home here today as the result of lockjaw from wounds said to have been incurred when he was struck down with a pair of heavy grass shears at the Saddle and Cycle club on Sheridan road, about a week ago. Nicholas Moga, a gardener, has been ordered held to the grand jury on charges of manslaughter. Ulrey died yesterday. FOR CLEAR WATER 1 Wells and Artificial Filtration Is City Solution. Then 250,000-Gallon Reseryoir Can Serve as a Filter. Clear water wells and artificial filtration plants at the city pumping station as a solution of this city's water supply in a few years were forecast in figures and opinions of experts on the Kaw valley water supply, pro duced by Frank Newland, water and lights commissioner. Mr. Newland points out that should this come to pass the 250,000 gallon reservoir, for which the city advertised for bids this week, can be made to serve as one of the new wells and filters without much alteration. Government water supply experts say the underflow in Kansas is reced ing at the rate of from eight to twelve feet in twenty years. At Salina the flow has receded twelve feet in that length of time. At that rate it will only take it a few years to disappear altogether. It has receded at Topeka about eight feet. Strong Salt Water. At the city pumping station there is a stratum of sand under the river bed. Under the sand is a stratum of clay, beneath which is the gravel stratum through which the underflow makes its way. Beneath the gravel is bed rock. Tests made by Jhe city some time ago show the water under the bedrock is unfit for use. A test well was bored and soapstone, a skim of oil, a strat um of coal and a bed of salt were found at different depths. The salt water was so strong the well hat to be plugged to keep it from polluting the underflow wells. The water taken from beneath the first stratum of clay is filtered by a natural process. Mr. Newland points out. If the underflow totally recedes the water for city use must be taken from the river bed, which of course means artificial filtration. But that. Mr. Newland says, will not come this year the next or the next, but he ad mits he expects the condition eventual ly. The city wells now obtain their wa ter from the underflow and the arti ficial filtration is not necessary. LOCAL MENTION Damages amounting to 98,100 are asked fcr by John F. Wyatt, a farmer, living near Silver Lake, in a suit' against S. B. McGrew and J. H. Skin-' ner. filed in the 8hffwr.ee county dis trict court.

More exciting than the fact that the circus is coining to town ia the news that has spread through Topeka's Boyville that the annual Big Brothers' camp of the T. M. C. A, is to be held soon. "We are besieged with applications," George Hoyes, secretary of the Central T. M., said today. "We are planning to take fifty boys with us to the camp and if the subscriptions roll in we will take more. Every year adds some new 'Big Brothers' to our list but it impossible as yet to sena an tne boys that deserve to go. "It takes Just about f 5 to send kid to the camp at Maple Hill, give him his fill of ramn food and good times and bring him safely back to Tcpeka one week later. No Ud on fiood Time. There will be no attempt to put a lid on the good times and activities of the "little brother." but there will be several experienced camp directors, to guide the activities, tninK up ine en tertainment stunts and guard the boys against accidents. Sunday, August o, win oe iuum day In tl.e camp and many big broth ers are expected to watch their pro teges at play. The excitement Is not entirely eon fined to the "Little Brothers." Many of the "Hie Brothers" who have been the donors of the camp for the last three vears are talking of tne ap proaching occasion and looking for ward to the camp as gleefully as the boys are. One prominent Topeka business man was talking to another who but lately has entered the ranks of the "Big Brothers." "Say," he chuckled, "it was worth a week's va cation for yourself to drive out to the camp and watch those kids enjoy themselves last year. 'And hear 'em enjoy themselves, too. When you got In the neighbor hood of the camp it sounded like an amusement park on a holiday. The little fellows aren't afraid to work, either. Last year when I visited the camp on the scond day they had It nicely laid out, cleaned and cleared to a fare-you-well." THEY HAD HIM WRONG The Police Arrest Steve Prouty for the Steenth Time. Steve Prouty was arrested again Monday night charged with "boot legging." A quantity of liquor was confiscated at the same time. It has been less than three weeks since Prouty was before Robert Yates, police Judge, charged for about the tenth time, with the same offense. "Steve," said Judge Yates, "you don't have much luck with this liquor business do you?" "You got me wrong this time Judge," said Steve, "I ain't foolin' with no liquor. Ah-ahm through. I ain't had nothin' to do with no liquor for a long time." The police didn't have anything "on" Steve that time and after Judge Yates had him repeat several times that he was through with liquor for all time to come, he was released.

JAS. PEABODY DIES Chief Statistician of Santa Fe in Topeka Hospital. Well Known Official Here From Chicago to Rest. James Pcabody, chief statistician for the Santa Fc railway, located at Chicago, died at the Santa Fe hospital In Topeka at noon today, of bowel trouble. Mr. Peabody came to Topeka a week ago to rest up. He was not considered in serious condition at that time and his death came as a surprise to Santa Fe officials. Mr. Peabody was or.e of the vet oral raili oa i statisticians of the United States. He was chiei statistician for all of the western railroads In all cases of recent vears before the interstate commerce commission. He was the author of that famous rate book known as "The Oklahoma Formula." It is probable that the burial will be In Chicago. James Peabody, chief statistician of Santa l p Railway, who died in To peka today. James Peabody, was born February 7, 1845. He began his business career as a steamboat clerk on the Great Lakes in 1861 and continued in that capacity until 1864. From that year until 1868 he en gaged in lake and canal transporta ton and in 1868 he became an expert accountant. From 1871 to 1874 he was general agent for the Missouri. Kansas Texas railroad in Texas. From 1874 to 1878 he was commercial agent for the Chicago, Burlington Quincy railroad with headquarters in Cincinnati. From the latter date until 1884 he was stationed in the general offices of the Burlington In Chicago. In 1884 he retired from railroad work and engaged in the grain business in Ne braska in which he remained until 1887 when he -went, back to railroad work and accepted a position with the Monon Route which he held until 1888 when he resigned to become edi tor of the Railway and Engineering nevww. an 1B31 ne became stntin- tician for the Santa Fe with head quarters in Chicago. A Versatile Man. Peabody was one of the moat ver satile witnesses ever before the Kan sas public utilities commission. On the stand he fairly ran the state commis sion's lawyers and rate experts to the woods. In May 1915 Peabody was be fore ine Kansas commission several days as a witness. He defended his Oklahoma formula a system for the aisiriDution or expense units and fairly backed the commission off the board in his analysis of his method of dividing receipts and expenses. rue OKlanoma formula covered sev eral hundred units. Through the use of the system, Peabody was able to show the distribution of a dollar of revenue through the various operat ing departments. The formula was offered by all of the Kansas railroads In defense of their application for an increase in passenger rates. Peabody carried the burden of explaining the technical side of the rate plan. His testimony before the state commission was one of the features of the long drawn out hearing. New York Stock Market.

MISTAKES ARE MANY Primary Election Boards Undergo a Second Revision. Carelessness of the Democrat and Republican central committees !n rec ommending names of those whom they wished to serve on the precinct boards in the primary election. Is causing much grief in the city hall. Because the committees certified the namesi evldentlv without investigation, the list of election iudares. clerks and su pervisors has been revised twice, once before it was advertised in the city pa per, the State Journal, and it is now undergoing another revision. The clerks and Judges as well as the aunorviKor are aDDointed by the mayor. one member of the precinct board per 1 i,r an tiie other four on recom- mendation of the two central com mittees. The first list was drawn by Miss Etta Covell and the mayor was v.i. the commission to ?nak? ,v, onnninttnents as shown on the list. After the commission's action It was found that eighteen or iweiiy whose names had been certified tner fused to serve or were uiu do so. "T-i -AmmiRntnn was iureru iu scind its action and substitute the names of other persons recommended v,.. y. f.nmTTiittes and the mayor. The list was again approved, tha mayor 1. t i a nnnoint was aumoniseu w ,nd the list was advertised. After the list was advertised It was found there were about a half-dozen more persons who could not or would not servo. Miss Etta Covell, city i..-ir aeked Georee P. Hayden, city attorney, for an opinion as to how the vacancies .couia oe nu. finju-o.. communicated with the attorney gen eral and gave it as his opinion that the vacancies could De miea mj- u polls, the person to nil me being chosen by the already certified members ol the board. Miss Covell is demurring. On the list there are two vacancies for su pervisors. One vacancy is in the First precinct of the First ward and the other is in the Sixth precinct of the Second ward. The supervisors must be appoint ed before the polls open," she said. The supervisors are In charge of tne ballots and books and the county clerk and myself want to know that we are giving the ballots ana dooks out to responsible parties. "I am sure," she said, "the vacan cies will be filled before the primary from other names recommended." In a-oing through the list today the name of P. S. Schafer was found. It could not be found on the registra tion books. The Republican central committee was asked about It as it certified the name. "So sorry, said the committee, "but really we meant H. D. Schaffer, 1313 East Seventh street." The same committee also certified the name of W. C. Cardwell for a member of the board in the Second precinct of the Fifth ward. The city clerk's office couldn't find any such man in the city. However, they did locate W. C. Carawell in the same precinct and N. W. Cardwell in the Fourth precinct of the. Fifth ward.

Will Come This TTay Instead via Kansas City. OVER LEAVENWORTH TOPEKA New Traffic Will Make Old Line Paying Proposition. Make This City a More Im portant Point. All westbound Rock Island passen gers, out of Leavenworth, will be routed over the L. T. through To peka, rather than through Kansas City on the Kansas City Western electrlo line. Announcement of an agreement between the Rock Island and L. T. to this effect was made today by W. C. Austin, receiver for the L. T. Mr. Austin Is interested in a shirt factory at Leavenworth and came here today to consult J. Will Kelley, secretary of the Commercial club, concerning the advisability of locating the factory In Toepka. Not only will this agreement affect westbound passengers from Leaven worth but eastbound passengers from Topeka to Leavenworth as well. Saves Mach Money. In the past the Rock Island in sell ing westbound tickets out of Leaven worth was forced to send them over the electric road to Kansas City and ficm Kansas City west over the Union Pacific tracks to Topeka. In doing this the passengers were victims of the interstate fare which is considerably in excess of the intrastate fare exist ing in Kansas. The electric run from Leavenworth to Kansas City consumes an hour and thirty minutes. Then the run from Kansas City to Topeka takes about two hours. It takes about two hours for the L. T. to run from Leavenworth to Topeka and after the agreement becomes effeotive westbound passen gers from Leavenworth will arrive in Topeka to make connections almost as soon as their arrival at Kansas City minus the expensive run from Kansas City to Topeka. L. T. to Pay. Mr. Austin declares that the L. T. will be on a paying basis in a short time. Gradually he is forcing equit able tariffs for the little road which has been operated at a loss for so many yearc through such a fertile country as Shawnee. Jefferson and Leavenworth counties. Mr. Austin refused to discuss the proposed acquisition of the L. T. by promoters who would transform it in to 'an electric road. But from other sources it was learned today that it is only a rumor. Through Dead Schemes. t-! t "It would mean taking three dead proposition and putting life into all three," said a well informed railroad man today. "The Brighton mine near Lansing, from which the current would be supplied, has been nothing but a hole for years. The L. T. has been dead and there are many other things concerned which would disturb financial bones placed in their coffin years ago. "Electrifying a line is a good prop osition when the line extends between big cities such as Leavenworth and Kansas City and St. Joseph and Kan sas City. But to put an electric line between Topeka and Lansing is a huge joke." AT THE THEATERS At the Orphcum. "The Phantom" is the name of a de tective story, filmed by the Triangle corporation, featuring Frank Keenan at the Orpheum today. This actor has distinguished himself for his ability in making up for different characters. The Orpheum bill is ended with a Keystone comedy In which Fatty Ar buckle Is the principal.

This does not mean that it. is the beat for grinding; as high test wheat doe aot always prodnc better baking flour j than lower test, bat as perfectly de veloped grain it is unenjialed. j The wheat crop has only begun to j move, and the maximum will not be j reached on til the middle of August, i The territory tapped by the Topeka mills produces winter wheat- Thus i the mills have an advantage ever these that, get their grain, from the spring j wheat districts where it is harvested, j milled and marketed two or three s months later. There is this disadvan- tag in the positron of Topeka as a milling center, that it is" a half-way station between the producing areas and tile actual market. But the fact j that with: its disadvantage tn location Topeka. has attained its present pern- j tiott speaks highly for the enterprise j of the local industry. The brand of flour produced is recognized as of uni- j Pot iiiy high: quality and commands the highest prices on the market. j Two of the Topeka mills which shut down a year ago have reopened under f new management and tne outlook for j the future of the industry is consider- ed remarkably favorable Conditions j for a favorable season are a great deal j better than a year ago.

EllGLE'S SAVAGES ARE BACK HOME TODAY FOR SIXTEEN GAME STAND The Last Game at Sioux City Lost Through Burwell's Ineffective Pitching. Home again and scheduled for a 16-day stand, the Savages were Teady to resume their long tilt with the Sioux City Indians this afternoon at Savage park. Four more games are to be played with the Indians and the war riors of Engle believe they will be able to take the series inasmuch as they held their own in Sioux City and got an even break on the series. irniinin sionx Citv. Des i.ioines will come for a foursome, then Lin coln and then Omaha. Topeka will have continuous ball until the tl oi AuBUSt. 11 was expected that a, I of the old fans would strain a point to Bet out to the sames today and tomor row to Rive the once over to the new players who have joined the team !nce it left home the last time. De Fte especially is expected to prove a l.ift drawinR card as he has been Foing pre:il and has been making baseball followers sit up and lake notice of ftim ever since he joined the club. Kven Break nt S. C. Although the Savages lost the last Kame at Sioux City by the score of 10 to 5 they got an even break on the series and had the honor of stopping the long winning streak of the Gnspar tribe T'ntil the first defeat admin istered by the Savages the Indians had won eight games in a row and looked like they were trying to make a forced march to the top. Ineffective pitching on the part oi llurwell. the Goodland phenom. was responsible for the Monday defeat. The Savages started the game by mak ing a pair of runs in the first inning and they hel-3 their two run lead until the fourth when Burwell weakened nnd allowed his opponents to hunch enough hits to count four runs. In the first of the fifth the Savages tied the count, but the Indians were not long in breaking it when they finally got to bat and the two runs they made were enough to land them safely, but for good count they came lack in the last of the eighth and mode four more. One in Ninth. The Savages almost got a rally start ed in the ninth inning. "Buss" Gro ver, who pitched for the Soo ar.d who did a neat Job of trimming his former teammates, allowed DeKat to get his liat on one and the Savage shortstop pushed it out for three bases. Schweitzer then singled and counted !Fate. but His Bugship tightened nntl ended the .engagement without further damage. Only one other game was played in the Western league Monday. Denver, it Des Moines, took the Izzies into ..amu 7 to 6 in a 10-innlng eneage- Tnent. the feature of which was the 'pitching of Third Baseman Dyer, who relieved Gaut in the first inning and held the Izzies to two runs.

NO DOPE ON TOURNEY Dark Horses Predominate in Mixed Doubles Tennis Play. "Dark horses" will probably be the rule and not the exception In Topeka's first mixed doubles tourney, which the Central Y. M. C. A. is giving on Its courts at Tenth and Lane streets. No one knows Just which combina tions are the strongest. The tactics of mixed doubles are so different from those of ordinary doubles that many combinations of good Individual play ers fall to make good teams." One of the strongest teams entered to date Is that of Miss Edna Hopkins end Robert Shoemaker. Shoemaker is admittedly the class of Topeka in the court game. Miss Hopkins learned her tennies In the east and has wit nessed several national championships and Important tourneys in that section. She plays with a racquet selected for her by ex-champion R. Norris wil Hams. The drawings for first round matches will be announced in the noon edition of tomorrow's State Journal The first matches will be held at o clock tomorrow afternoon. Chairs for spectators and ice water have been provided and the courts are in the pink or condition. t-ntries for the tourney may be made up till noon Wednesday at the I. 1M. U. A.

KUMAGAE TO BE TOUGH OPPONENT FOR NET STARS Though there will be no interna tional matches in tennis this season, the presence of a Japanese champion in this country gives the big matches In the east something of the inter national interest. Kumagae, the Jap star, who defeated Clarence Griffin again in rather easy style a short while ago, will make a tough oppo nent for Norris Williams, McLoughlin or William Johnston in the tourna ment at Seabright, Longwood and the big national tourney. Though Griffin ir perhaps not the equal of the three mentioned in singles play he is one of the first stars of the game and Kumagae's victory promises some hot fights to come between the little Jap tar and some of the best American talent. I i- ffii-.-11ir, nnr;--'ffiWffiiii am' ,'i HARD ONBETTORS Few Favorites Are Winning on Eastern Race Tracks. Touts Have Disappeared Since Bookies Are o More. BY FRANK G. MF.NKE. New York, July 25. The boys who play the favorites on the New York race tracks are weeping, gnashing their molars, tearing their thatches and otherwise registering anguish. The favorites are not coming home in front with any degree of consistency. As a result, there is woe hereabouts. The way in which the so-called "clp.ss" horses have been beaten by the "truckers" has begun to appal the professional gamblers who play favor ites and nothing else. Their once plump bank rolls have shriveled away like a slab of Ice in the July sunlight. Over a week's stretch, involving three days at Aqueduct and three at the Empire track, outsiders won twenty-two out of the thirty-six races hat were run. In nine of the four teen combats, in which the favorites were victorious, the winning horses were odds-on; meaning that the col lections for the "profs" in these af fairs were very small, indeed. One professional told us that that ill-fated week" had cost h?m 1,S00. "I plunged $100 on every race," he said. "That meant an outlay of $3,600 for the week. I got back a profit of exactly 00 for winning the fourteen bets, plus my $1,400 bet on those four teen races. Altogether, $2,300 was re turned to me against my original out lay of $3,600 meaning that I lost sl.300 on the week, although I picked fourteen winners out of 36: Oi, yoi!" High Noon Costly Favorite. High Noon, the great James Butler sprinter, continues to be the chute through which the "wise ones" have been dropping huge bankrolls. A sen sation last year. High Noon is unable to do anything even ordinary this sea son. n practically all of the races in v. hich he has been entered. High Noon has been made the favorite. But the fast thoroughbred had "dumped his backers on almost every occasion this year by his failure to romp ahead. Second place is the best he seems able to do. No horse can get away from the post faster than High Noon, nor dan any runner match his great stride for tne rtrst three or four furlongs. But men iign Noon seems to stuff awav ana one or tne otner or the stretch runners breeze along, overtake him and lead him to the finish line. After High Noon. Dlaved from one end of the track to tl.e other, a week or so ago, was beaten out by He Will, the gambling element raised its right mitt ana murmured Never again. No Standard Prices. 'Shopping" for odds is now one of the popular outdoor sports at the New York tracks. Different "layers" offer different prices. There it, no uniformity In wagering. One "layer' may offer 5 to 1 against a horse; the next may make it 3 to 1 or 8 to 1, according to his own particular ideas. rne tendency or tne small "layers. however is to offer odds much lower than the big men lay. That has been shown on repeated occasions. One in stance was the case of Carlton G., which won at the Empire track in a fifteen horse field. The small layers offered an average of 6 to 1 against the horse while the big fellows laid making of 10 and 15 to 1. On all the other horses In the field the small fellows' prices were from 20 to RO per cent smaller than those of the big boys. And so the hoi polloi, before placing bets with its own "layers" these days, wanders around, get the consensus of the prevailing odds and then force its owns layer to meet those prices, un der penalty pf losing its business. Touts Have Gone. Touts are unknown on the New York tracks these days! In the other era, when betting was a la bookie and conducted in the open, the woods were full of them. But they seem to have quit business permanently when the ponies were ruled out or tne state some years ago. Touting, under present betting con ditions, sizes up as a rather difficult task. No one can absolutely spot the man who Is going to d i his watering until he has made his bet. The bet tor shrouds his moves and a tout, therefore, would have quite a job picking up a "victim" for his "sure thing" tips. FOOD FOR FANS (BY GEORGE Ti. PH VIR.)

This might prove a boost for the same nil rlirht, but the superintendent kills it all by saying that tne oenerit comes irora tne exercise gou produces without the added excitement that goes with other forms of sport. Those who are the greatest In college circles do not always rank with the great when they get out into tne wme, cruel world. Paul. lHs Jardiens, the famous University of Chicago star pitcher and football player, was unable to bold a major league Job and Cleveland has shipied him to Marshalltown, Iowa. In colic ire he was quite a star His light shone out both wide and far. They said he'd set the world a-rirht And make his name the nation's II K tit. But new he's paving streets with tar. Kah Rah. Mrs. Frank Gotch announces that her grappling half Is to retire permanently. This is the first real Indication thst neither fcs tether nor Lewis will ever get a chan-e to go to the mat with the Iowa champion. And If Mrs. Ooteh Is a wise woman she will not let Frank hoodwink her. iotcii Is past 40 and be has all the money he will ever need. He would not add mu-h to his fame even if he defeated both of the contenders, and if he were defeated it would probably make Mrs. Gotcb a widow sooner. The following items of interest to local fans were picked up from Pacific Coast league notes "Pol" Perritt, the old-time Los Angeles pitcher, who has been a member of the Seals this season, has been given his 5-day notice of release. His place will be taken by Erickson, late of the letrolt Tigers. Jack Coffey, former Ienver W. L. man ager, who was "beuned" in a came July 4 is reported to be on the road to complete recovery, although be will be out of the game for several weeks. Sporting Life says: "p. Hamilton Pat terson has made good. At least, Prexy Maier, of the Bengals, think that P. Ham ilton has shown enough managerial ability to warrant him a regular job as leader of the Tiger trouie. For Prexy Ed tendered the Feerless Leader a two-year ironclad contract, calling for an increase tn salary over his present pay check. This means that Pat will be manager of the Vernon Tigers In 1917 and '18." ADDITIONAL SPORT WILL BE FOUND ON OTHER PAGES Si I EX-FEDS ARE NOT SETTING THEP. C. LEAGUE ON FIRE Ex-Fed players are making no particular hit on the Paclflc coast either, according to report. What ever the Coast league moguls may have thought when importing the Feds they all seem agreed now that they have done little to raise the class of playing. Chief John son, Jack Qulnn, Bobby Vaughn and Jack Dalton have none of them shown the pace looked for and the best ball in the league is being played -by youngsters who are coming ahead and not by any ex-Fed leaguers.

Copeland and L. 31. Pen well Drafted as Aides. 111 II u. I I II 5 HOUSE u in ill II1 11 14 S. K.' Cobb, chairman of the farm loan bank committee of the Topeka Commercial club, J. Will Kelley, J- N. Dolley and others interested in locat ing the bank here, scoffed today at an idea conveyed in a letter written to Mr. Kelley by Senator Curtis that a joker in the big rural credits bill ex cludes locating the bank in Topeka. The Topeka men think too much of the watchful eye of Senator Curtis i-nd other Kansas "watch dogs" at Wash ington. They can't believe no attempt would have been made to lock the barn before the- horse was stolen, and that Kansas representatives at Washington would permit the enemies of Kansas to slip in a joker exclud ing Kansas from getting the bank and leaving entrance into the race open to all other states in the union. Can't Find Joker. Their belief that no such a joker exists is strengthened by a careful perusal vt the bill, itself. At no place can they find anything that looks like a joker that would affect Kansas in the way suggested by Senator Cur-s to the Commercial club secretary. "Charlie Curtis just couldn't help giving the Democrat administration a dig." was the laughing explanation made this morning by one Topeka man. Want Store Details. Letters have .been mailed to Sena tor Curtis this morning urging him to explain in detail the suggestion made in the letter to Mr. Kelley. Meantime, S. E. Cobb and others are going ahead in preparing data for the consumption of the farm loan board on its visit here some time in the fu ture.

Information has been re ceived from insurance companies showing their investments in farm mortgages in this district, chiefly Mis souri and Kansas. -Appoints committee Members. Mr. Cobb has appointed E. L. Cope land, treasurer of the Santa Fe, and ti. M. Penwell members of the com mittee to aid in gathering data on To peka's accessibility to a big farm mort gage country- Everything depends upon the district In which Kansas is included. "I do not believe, we will be in a district including more than two or three states," said Mr. Cobb. "In one mid-western state there are more farm mortgages than in all New England and they will overcapitalize the bank if they include many such states in one district. More than likely Kansas and Missouri and probably Oklahoma will form one district." MORE ENEMIES DAILY French Proclamation to Germany Tells of Neutral Sentiment. Paris.

The. edi tors of two of the district papers are dealing in personalities. It ts hard to say which- Is worse on the nerves of North Topekans, the flat wheels on the street cars on that lino or- the Jolt of the Jitneys over the North Kansas avenue pavement. Topeka's opportunity to get the farm loan bank appears to have aroused more enthusiasm than any project In recent months. It is about the only thing that has not called for subscriptions. Several offices in the city hall were closed this afternoon during the fun eral of Mrs. Hildur Nygren Carlson, who drowned in Mill creek near Mc Farland, Sunday. Mrs. Carlson was secretary for Joseph Hanlon, fire chief. A Topeka man looked at the ther mometer on Kansas avenue at 4 o'clock Monday afternoon. It regis tered 99 degrees. He says he went home and found the thermometer registered only 82 degrees. Possibly hits wife's reception had something to do with it. Jewelers in .Topeka refuse to sell ankle watches, it is announced, be cause they feel that the men wouldn't care to look for the time with their own timepieces and. there Is more profit In a man's watch than in an ankle watch. A "country lad in Topeka today asked his father if a man walking up Kansas avenue and shaking hands with every third person wasn't a min ister. ''That's the way preachers do at- home," he said. "No son," won the reply, "that's one of Topeka's 5,000 politicians."

It was through the Bonner Springs line.that communication was- maintained with the outside world. The lobby of the National hotel was' crowded Monday afternoon with book agents anxiously awaiting the outcome of the meeting of the school book commission. The eastern book con cerns go to a great expense two and three times a year in keeping sales men running about the state talking to various members of the commis sion, prior to a meeting. A Topeka wage earner, who has lived In big towns and small towns, asserted today that lt la cheaper to live in the big towns. In the small towns one must do as he sees his neighbors do, while In the big cities you. don't know your neighbors and they don't know you and as .a conse-' quence you don't feel ashamed if you don't keep pace with them, he says. A brick famine is delaying the city paving, aocording to A. R. Young, city ongineer. The concrete base for prac tically all the thirty-six-block contract here has been laid and Ziegler Broth ers, contractors, are unable to get brick, although they have 300 carloads promised from Coffeyvllle. It will be some months before the paving Is completed as it is impossible to lay rnore than five carloads a day. it is said. W-. J.

Topeka's youngest grandmother is 39 years old. But Wichita's entry for the honor is only 84. She is Mrs. Coyle of 1089 South PJmporla avenue. Mrs. Coyle was mar. ried when she was 16; her daughter.

This was a sign on the stand of Wil lie Rock, aged 8, who quit the lemon ade business because it was too slow. Willie did a rushing business.

Movie Actresses and Their Hair Did It ever occur to you that every movie actress you have seen has love ly hair, while the most popular count their curls as their chief beauty? In fact (this la a secret), many are lead ing: ladies Just because of their attract ive locks. Inquiry among; them dis closes the fact the they bring out all the natural beauty of their hair by careful shampooing;, noi with any soap or makeshift, but with a simple mix ture which they make up for them selves by putting a teaspoonful of can throx (which they get from the drug gist), In a cup of hot water and apply ing this Instead of soap. After its use their hair dries rapidly, with uniform color. Dandruff, excess oil and dirt are dissolved and entirely disappear. The hair is so fluffy that it looks much heavier than it is. Its luster and softness is delightful, while the stimulated scalp gains the health which insures hair growth.

Baldness in man is inherited, and in the same way as horns in sheep, according to Miss Dorothy Osborn of Ohio State Uni versity. Tight hats appear to have nothing to do with it, and disease of the scalp play a small part, if any. That hered ity is the cause is strikingly shown by her discovery that a baldness-pattern is sometimes present on an infant's head at birth, and ia then grown over, to reappear in after years when the hair falls out. Miss Oeborn's researches, based on the study of pedigree charts, are pub lished today in the August issue of the Journal of Heredity, organ of the American Genetic association of this city. She points out that a complete ly bald head is rare, but that various patterns of baldness are frequent in man. "Among the most common are complete baldness on the top of the head, that involving only the crown, that giving ti-e appearance of an ex tremely high forehad, and that cover ing the top and back of the head. The hair associated with baldness may be thin, normal or heavy, these patterns are inherited. The family histories which she has gathered show that when the inherited tendency is not present in the family, the men do not become bald, even If they have typhoid and other diseases and wear tight hats all their lives. If, however, a father is bald, at least half his sons will be bald. If the father is himself not bald, he can not transmit baldness to his offspring. In Women, Too. But baldness is not confined to men it appears in women, although rare ly. This rarity has been urged as evi dence that baldness is connected with wearing hats, but Miss Osborn says such an idea has no basis in fact. Baldness In women Is more frequent than is generally known, she declares, "because women can conceal their baldness much more easily than men." She finds that a woman is bald only when she inherits it from both par ents, while Inheritance from one par ent is enough to make a man bald. A woman who inherits baldness from only one parent will not herself be bald, but may transmit baldness to one-half her sons. If a mother is bald. all her sons will be bald, no matter whether the father is or not. He: daughters will not be bald unless the father also was bald, but may trans mit baldness to their offspring even if they do not show it themselves. Technically, this peculiar mode of Inheritance is called sex-limited, the character being dominant In males and recessive in females. It was found by Dr. Thomas R. Arkell to hold good for the horns of sheep, but is not a common type of inheritance, so far as is known. After reviewing the various theories heretofore advanced to account for baldness. Miss Osborn concludes, "These theories do not agree, and none in itself is satisfactory. Heredity as a cause of baldness explains away these difficulties. It explains the presence of a pattems.why healthy individuals are afflicted, and why it is so common in men and exceptional in women." SUNDAY FOR ICEMAN Oklahoma City YV. C. T. TJ. Promotes Campaign to Buy on Saturday. July 25 1891. Texarkana, Ark. Hon. Jerry Slmpaon closed a very successful two days' speak lug tour at Arkadeiphia Saturday uuu this afternoon he spoke here. Jerry communi cated a pece of iuformation. which, when it reaches Georgia will stir up the Demo crats greatly. Congressman Simpson said: "You may telegraph to your paper, that I, Jerry Simpson, say tut the Alliance men in congress will have a candidate for speaker. We will nominate him in caucus and vote for hiin on the floor." "Who will be your nominee?" he waa asked. The answer came like a bullet out of a Winchester. "Col. Li. F. Livingston of Georgia. Today Jerry addressed the people of Texarkana. He ayoke long and as the feople of the south say he spoke "pinted y." He was a little restive last night be cause some of the Alliance brethren met him at the hotel and endeavored to im press upon him the idea that owing to the fact that this was a Democratic strong hold he would better not disseminate third party doctrine. Jerry chewed the mental cud all last night and the more he thought about the matter the madder he became. He went out to the meeting with fire in his eve and talked Alliance doctrine until some of the Democrats were exceedingly angry. "What have the Republicans done for us?" he yelled. "Nothing but oppress us with a tariff bill. "What have the Democrats done for us?" he shouted. "Nothing. Their tariff bill was almost as wicked as the Kepublicans'. "What will they do in the future? Noth ing. I tell you, friends, we must act for ourselves. "I want a granger as a presidental can didate; not a lawyer, not a judge but a granger with hayseed in his hair.

Confirming pub licly the suspicion that cabinet had been unable to reach a decision in regard to the home rule amending, Asquith in the house of commons to day announced that the government would not introduce any bill of this kind with regard to which there was no substantial agreement among all parties. Thin wna taken in the lobbies of par liament to mean that home rule had been dropped for the moment and that David Lloyd-George's negotiations had come to naught. The stumbling block appears to have been the retention in the imperial par liament of nationalist representative in unliminished numbers. John Redmond, leader of the na tionalists, moved an adjournment of the house to discuss the premier's re ply, and a lively debate, when tne regular business of the house of com mons was concluded, was anticipated. Mr. Redmond asked amid national ist cheers whether the government had decided to depart from the terms of the agreement arrived at by the Irish party and based upon the pro posals made by Secretary of War David Lloyd George whether the gov ernment had determined to insert in the bill new proposals at variance with the agreement without consult ing the nationalists; and whether the premier had received any intimation that a bill so framed would be vigor ously opposed by the nationalists. Premier Asquith in reply, pointed out that the agreement was subject to the approval of, and revision by the cabinet. HE NEEDS ASSISTANCE Bishop Millspaugh Calls for Election of a Bishop Coadjutor. The color question is causing con' cern at the new city tubercular hos pital; Plans for segregating the ne groes rrom the whites were discussed today noon at a meetlner of the com mittee of the Public Health Nursing association in- charge or the new hos pital. Following the meeting. Dr. F. L. Loveland and Mrs. Charles B. Thomaa. the good angel of Topeka's poor, drove out to the hospital with a view of par titioning the ward, one part for white patients, the other for negroes. Until recently all the patients were white. Now there are some colored patients. There will be a ward for white men, wl'lte women, colored men and colored women. There have been eighteen rm- tients cared for in the hospital since it openeu in April. BANKADVERTISINGPAYS Federal Reserve Finds Medium to Sell Bonds to Individual Investors. JJ Bishop Prank R. Millspaugh has sent letters to all the Episcopal clergy men in Kansas this week urging them to select candidates for bishop co adjutor when the special convention of the Kansas Episcopalian churches meets in Topeka September 21. The bishop declares that his failing health and increasing duties make it neces sary for him to have an assistant. Bishop Millspaugh made a similar call two years ago, but a deadlock occurred between clergymen and lay men. His health improved and he did not press the matter. He says that he has no candidate in mind for the office but is satisfied to abide by the selection made by the .Kansas clergy. CITY EMPLOYE BENEFITED MR. T.
