Honorary Pall Bearers Included Widely Known Men. With hundreds of railroad officials and employes from all parts of the west In attendance: with a great pro fusion of floral tributes and the church crowded to its utmost capacity, and hundreds more on the outside, the last rites were said this afternoon at 3 o'clock for C. W. Kouns, general manager for the Santa Fe, who died here Sunday morning-- The services were held in the First Methodist church and were conducted by Dr. A. S. Embree, for years a personal friend of Mr. Kouns. There were wagon loads of floral offerings.

It was the tribute of the locomotive and shops force. The most pathetic offering was the chair given to Mr. Kouns years ago by his co-workers which was sitting among the offerings completely cov ered with roses and gladiolas, the tribute of the general manager's of fice here. A broken wheel in flowers was the offering of the engineer's office. The Pullman porters were represented by a great spray of American beauty roses. Every division on the road was repre sented in the floral offerings. The Kansas City division was repre sented by a great Santa Fe trademark which was seven feet high and seven feet wide. In front of the altar was a massive bank of roses, the tribute of the Chicago offices. The number of individual offerings ran into the hun dreds. At 3 o'clock this afternoon the church was filled, 500 persons were lined on the outside and between 2.000 and 4,000 Santa Fe employes were on their way to the church. The majority of the attendance, of course, came from the Topeka offices and shops which were closed all this afternoon. Several other offices over the system were closed. The attend ance was not by any means comprised whollv of railroad men Hundreds of Topeka business men and business men from other cities were there.

During his carter Mr. Kouns has been connected with several railroads and it is needless to say men who knew him on all of them were at the services. The great crowd in tne cnurcn is perhaps best explained by an ..fficial j of th Santa Fe who said: "Mr. Kouns came up to his present position from the ranks ari he made friends all along the way." Services In the church were short. Darwin Bradley sang two songs which were followed by a short address by Dr. A. S. Embree who closed the serv ices with prayer. After services the Santa Fe Appren tice band led the funeral cortege to Topeka cemetery.

Kouns is CaPt. W. A. (Bill) Brown of Weatherford, Texas. The captain is a Confederate vet eran, a member of the Fourth Ala bama, and according to his own story, the sole surviving private of that regi ment. "I first knew Charlie Kouns in 1877, when we were both with the Interna tional Great Northern railroad at Palestine, Texas," said the captain. "Charlie was chief dispatcher and 1 was employed in the office of the gen eral freight agent. "It was not long before I was sent to Marques, Texas, as agent. In those days deer were plentiful in Texas and Charlie Kouns used to loan me his Kouns. IN MEMOKIAJt There was laid to rest in the Topeka cemetery this afternoon, the body of a man who was a man among men in all stations of life. The late C. W. Kouns, who was general manager of the Atchison-, Topeka Santa Fe Sys tem, proper, at the time of his death, wore, it is true, the "brass collar" that has been proverbial for so long In the railroad world, but he had worked his way Into it from the bottom of the railroad ladder, as most of the big railroad men of this country have done. And altho he eventually be came one of the highest and most important officials of a large railway organization, he continued, as he al ways had been, a railroad man among railroad men. He was as popular with section hands as he was with his as sociates in administrative capacities; and he carried this same popularity with him outside the railroad world. There is much substance to a man of whom every one spoke well while he was alive. And while Shakespeare may have sounded a human chord that generally rings true when he observed in effect that the good a man does is oft interred with his bones, there are, of course, striking exceptions to such a rule of life and death. Mr. Kouns. alive end dead, is assuredly one of them. The world is much the gainer that he lived in it. The Santa Fe is much the better railroad that he work ed on it. And much of his work, his good work, as almost all of it was, will live after him and be a monument to his memory that few humans are able -to earn. Winchester to go hunting. After a successful hunt, I used to send a deer to Charlie at Palestine. "From the business association of that day there sprang a friendship that has endured thruout the years. "We only worked together for a few years, after which Charlie went with the Southern Pacific and I came to the Santa Fe where I have been ever since. Charlie Kouns was a man of kind and sweet disposition. There was never a better man drew the breath of life. Always considerate of others he never knew such a thing as class distinction. He was the same to all men whether fellow general man ager or section laborer. Even back in the old Palestine days that was hfs distinguishing trait; the thing that gained and held the esteem of his fel lows. "It has been my pleasure to see Mr. Kouns every year or two. We have kept up a correspondence that has ever been a source of pleasure to me. I have his picture hanging In my office now. "I recall one time, several years ago, when 1 met Mr. Kounu at Fort Worth. He called me 'Bill,' I greeted him as 'Charlie.' Old Bill Jphnson happened to be standing near and took me to task for calling Mr. Kounu "Charlie.' I said: 'Well, he called me "Bill" didn't he?' "We old timers of the Gulf Lines will long cherish his memory. In his death the Santa Fe loses one of its most valuable officers. The com munity in which he lived loses one of its best citizen Knowing him and loving him I tender to his family my heartfelt sympathy in this hour of be reavement." WAS AX ABLE OFFICER. Veteran Gulf Line Official Tells of Mr. Konns's Early Career. In speaking of the death of Ir. Kouns today, L. J. Polk, formerly vice president of the Gulf. Colorado Santa. Fe railroad and now general agent for the Santa Fe in Galveston, who is here for the funeral paid this tribute to the dead general manager: "Mr. Kouns's death brings no less loss to the Santa Fe than it does sor row to his friends especially those who have known him longest and best. "It has been my privilege and pleas ure to know him intimately for more than thirty years, and I have yet to hear a single utterance expressive of other than the highest admiration for him as a man and for his ability and untiring energy as a railroad official. Career Began In Texas. "He lived in Texas for many years his first railroad work in the state being, I believe, with the International Great Northern railroad under H. M. Hoxie's administration as general manager. He served that road in sev (Continued on Page Six.) Matter May Be Taken to Courts, Is the Hint. KOUNS DEATH A REAL LOSS "Valuable Officer and a Real Friend," President Says. Bipley Tells of How Late Offi cial Stayed on Job. Western railroads will fight the 8 hour bill, passed by congress In Its effort to settle the recent trainmen's wage controversy and avert a strike. That statement was made today by E. P. Ripley, president of the Santa Fe and dean of American railroad heads, in Topeka. Mr. Ripley, with forty-three other Chicago officials of the Santa Fe, arrived here at 12:35 o'clock this afternoon. Seven Kansas City officials were also on the train. All attended the funeral of C. W. Kouns, general manager of the Santa Fe, who died here Sunday morning. K. p. Ripley, iean of American Rail road Presidents, In Topeka Today to Attend the 1-lincral of v. W. Kouns. Mr. Ripley and his party were met at ''e train by a delegation from the gei. rai offices here, including E. L. Copeland, treasurer; H. B. Lautz, gen eral manager; Frank Jarrell, publicity manager; it. J. Parker, general super intendent, and several others. Mr. Copeland was the first to shaka hands with Mr. Ripley as he stepped irom nis car, arter tne train had beer parked near the station. The Sarta Fe president is enjoying excellent health and showed that he is carrying his 71 years with ease, as he greeted the delegation from the offices and several Topeka business men. Will 'Contest It. To a reporter, Mr. Ripley stated tnere was little doubt that the action of congress in its attempt to settle the wage dispute will be contested. The present status of the affair was termed by Mr. Ripley as "a surrender" for the railroads. "You will contest the bill in the courts," he was asked. "Yes." "Will you refuse to observe the law and let the trainmen go to court or will you take action in court first? "That has not been decided." Speaking of the death of Mr. Kouns, Mr. Ripley said: "I was in Washington when Mr. Kouns became sick. Up to that time he was in good fighting trim, appar ently. As soon as word came that he was ailing, I investigated, and found that Mr. Kouns feared a recurrence of the trouble which laid him up three years ago. Everything possible was done to keep him quiet until Mr. Ras ter could reach Washington, and that was quite a chore, for Mr. Kouns was strong for staying on the job. Santa Fe's Loss. "The Santa Fe has lost a valuable official, and many Santa Fe men, and others have lost a good friend." Immediately upon his arrival here Mr. Ripley took lunch at the Harvey house. After that, he and the other officials went to the office of E. L. Copeland where they remained until the funeral at 3 o'clock.' Officials with Mr. Ripley stated that business of the Santa Fe and other western roads is exceptionally, good. "If it continues." said one, "and if it will but continue that way railroad net revenues will go as hiigh as they should be." The Chicago party will leave here on its return trip at 6 o'clock. Imme diately after the funeral. Mr. Ripley expects to attend the stockholders' an nual meeting here October 26.

Hundreds of the nation's most prominent suffra gists came here today to decide what attitude to take toward the Republi cans and Democrats in the presidential campaign. The National American Woman suf frage association called this emergency convention and invited both Hughes and Wilson to address It. There is some indication that, even tno the convention may not declare positively in favor of Mr. Hughes, the bulk of the membership's influence may be swung to him because he has declared In favor of the passage of the Susan B. Anthony federal amendment grant ing national suffrage, while Mr. Wil son has not. The convention will last four days. Today will be given over to a three cornered debate in which each suf frage leader will give her view of the situation In a ten minute talk. The question of whether the Nation al American Suffrage association should drop its work for state amend ments and concentrate its efforts on a federal amendment, was a feature of the opening session of the associa tion's annual convention here today. Declares for Anthony Amendment, Mrs. Ida Husted Harper of New Tork, as leader of the "Federal Amendment" forces argued in the af firmative, while Miss Laura Clay of Lexington, Ky., argued in favor of confining the right to .individual states; a third debater, Mrs. Raymond Brown of New York,; -took a middle ground in favor of both federal and state work.

Kansas Hardest Hit; Confer ence Comes to Naught. Kansas City. Mo., Sept. 6. A big coal mine strike in Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma and Arkansas is near. The sub-committee in conference between the miners and the coal operators have split on the "discharge without cause" clause in the new contract. Failure to agree was reported to the general committee this afternoon and the conference was declared off. Until the attitude of operators in the general committee has been changed by strike developments yes terday at Pittsburg, Kan., the confer ence will then disband and a general strike of from 35,000 to 38,000 men will follow. The operators have de cided against inserting in the new con tract a clause prohibiting the refusal of work to any members of the United Mine Workers without cause. Kansas mines will be hardest hit, from 12,000 to 13.000 miners being af fected there. Missouri has about 10,000 miners: Oklahoma 10,000 and Arkansas from 6,000 to 8,000. Eight Thousand Already Out. Kansas City, Mo., Sept. 6. With eight thousand union coal miners al ready out in southeast Kansas, the union delegates and operators' com mittee met in Joint conference at 2 o'clock this afternoon in another at tempt to come to terms on a new working agreement. Dissatisfied with the delay in reaching an agreement the miners at Pittsburg walked out yesterday, clos ing down every big mine in the dis trict except two Santa Fe mines and Weir No. 31. The men refuse to re turn to work until a clause is inserted in their contract providing that union men cannot be discharged without cause or without consent of the union. Pittsburg union officials said a strike may be officially declared to day. HOTTER AND DRIER Nf Rain is Reported Anywhere in tbe State.

If Francisco Villa gets within striking distance of the American expeditionary forces. General Pershing soldiers may Join the troops of the def cato government in an offensive campaign to extermin ate the bandit and his followers. This was the statement of General Funston this alternoon. There has been no agreement be tween Mexican and American military men for a concerted movement againsl Villa. General Francisco Gonzales, Carranza commander in northern Chi huahua already has sent a force against the bandit for the last report ed in the Santa Clara canyon and if the occasion arises, the American commander might take part in the pursuit. That is up to General Persh ing." said General Funston. Army men pointed out that General Pershing entered Mexico to capture Villa and Commercial Reprisals Already Threatened by EnToys. BUT U. S. HOLDS UPPER HAND Better Able to Stand Embargo Than England. Congress Believes It Will Eni British Blacklist. Washington, Sept. A sharp dip lomatic conflict between the allied governments and the United States, Is expected to follow retaliatory meas ures Incorporated In the revenue bill passed by the senate late last night. With agreement to the amendments by the house conference commission anticipated today. It is thought th allied governments probably led by Great Britain, may begin shaping counter retaliations. The belief of many officials, however, is that the conflict will be strictly commercial. It was said on the other hand, that the United States government is going In. to the issue with its eyes open and prepared to see it thru. U. S. Has Many Grievances. The course decided on legislation that hits directly back at every dis crimination pronounced against American business interests grew out of thoro consideration by the state department and other executive de partments of the probable conse quence. It is the hope of the administration, one official said, that the drastic leg islation enacted may result In putting an end to the blacklisting policy of the British government, the discrim ination against American commerce, interference with American malls and embargoes on American products. W'hile diplomats representing allied governments here have strongly hint ed at commercial "reprisals." officials are inclined to view that such a con test is not wanted.

5 J THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL WEDNESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 6, iait 3 RIGHT AND LEFT POLICE PICK UP LOCALNEGROES Clean Sweep of Colored Sus pects Made Today. Every Man Who Looks Like a Bootlegger Arrested. PATROL WAGON RUNS AMUCK Most of Prisoners Are of Hip Pocket Variety. ."We'll Keep Them in Jail," I Says Chief Parsons. The deadest, dullest place in To peka today is that section occupied ordinarily by negro bootlegger.s. Thi;re may be a few of their type enjoying their freedom but If they are 'heir en joyment Is being taken in a cellar, a barn or some other place of hiding. Most of the clan is In the city Jail With no chance to get out for twenty fcur hours. At noon today twenty four negroes whose occupation Is giv en on the police docket as "bootlcg ter" had been turned in at the jail. Beginning last night Harvey Parsons, chief of police, told the patrolmen on all the beats to pick up every known bootlegger whether they eaw him do ing anything wrong or not. "Pick them up on general prin ciples." said Parsons, "and I'll t.ike care of them when they get here." The chief had scarcely Issued the order when the patrol wagon startd cn Its rounds. Load af'er load of negroes was dumped at the city prison door. The trips continued all night and when the day men wen; to wo.-l". this morning they began where the night men left off. Every polica char acter who stuck his head out of doors was picked up. By 10 o'clock this morning the scare had soread to every part of town and the faces familiar in police court have been hidden from public view all those not already found. The po lice automobile was driven down Crane street this forenoon and not a male negro was seen from one end of the street to the other. Held for Investigation. At the tail there Is weeping and wailing and cursing. The negro'es ar rested do not know what the charge against them is and until they do know they can't arrange for bond, they can't plead guilty. All they can do is to sit in jail and wait for the law to move. Every man arrested under orders from the chief has been book ed for "investigation." A man can be held for twenty-four hours on that c harge without any chance to give bond. As rapidly as the twenty-four hour period expires for the negroes arrested Parsons will lodge a charge of "vagrancy" against each of them. Then there will be a wild scrambling for bonds. The jail has been sur rounded by negro women all day clamoring for a chance to see the men inside The women are confident some great Injustice Is being perpe trated in the name of the law. Guilty of Vagrancy. "I am sick and tired trying to put these hip-pocket bootleggers out of business." said Chief Parsons today. "We know they are selling but it is the hardest thing in the world to get convincing evidence against them. Va grancy is one charge of which practi cally every bootlegger Is guilty. He has no visible means of support. These fellows don't work but we are going to see if we can't keep them in jail or at work on the outside. Vagrancy is one charge for which there is no fine. Conviction means a jail sentence. I would like to see every man we have picked up draw thirty days." Here is the list of negroes picked up QVLlTy- CA S M OBOC E.RS Granulated Sugar, 14 lb.

Why were both Republican and Democratic conventions willing to fa vor woman suffrage thru state a ction Because they knew they were pvtting it off till doom's day. They understood perfectly that in fully one-half of the states where women .are Hill disen franchised the constitutions are so framed that amendment is practically impossible. Let us have no more of these state campaigns with their killing work, their personal humiliations, their fraudulent votes, and their stuffed ballot boxes. Now that our measure has been brought thru generations of toll and sacrifice in sight of the promised land, let as not wander another forty years

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL WEDNESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 6, 1916 6 I I imm in mien n ah I IIU 111 U11C lilHIl Dilworth Had Dual Personality, His Wife Declares. Jealousy, Jfot Bobbery, Was Motive for Murder. "RUN SLAYERS TO GROUND" Family Life Ideal, Says Slain Man's Widow. Knew He Drank and Went With Other Women. Kansas City, Sept. 6. "My husband was not killed by men whose only motive was robbery. Back of his murder is a plot and behind this plot is jealousy. I will not rest until I have run his murderers to the ground." This was the statement of Mrs. On Bargain Square Thursday and Friday Only These extraordinary values from The Infants' Wear Dept. A final clean-up of Children's Summer Hats in two special lots: Lot 1 at 25c each Lot 2 at 50c each These prices represent but a fraction of their former price. One Special Lot of Children's Summer Coats $2.00 Each Children's White Formerly retailing: at $3.50. Choose at Distinctive Designs In the Newest of FALL BLOUSES WE NOW have on display for your approval, a most charming collection of the newest Autumn blouses tastefully developed out of fine Crepe de Chines, sheer Georgette crepes and chiffons, lustrous taffetas, sturdy tub silks and a va riety of distinctive combinations. The collection embraces the season's fashionable colorings, the most promi nent of which are plum, dark brown, Beige, maize, gray and of course black, navy, white, flesh and a varied assortment of stripes and plaids. The difference between the blouses at Warren M.'s and the blouses elsewhere is easily distinguished. It is the big difference between individuality and medio crity. They differ from ordinary blouses on the following points STYLE They are designed by high salaried French and American designers, both men and women, to whom the designing of blouse styles is as much of an art as painting is to the artist or music to the musician. It will surprise you how much more interesting it is, if, when you are looking at blouses, especially the better ones, you will reflect that each style you see represents hours of hard work and infinite patience and that some where in New York or Paris there is a man or woman who is very, very proud of this style that he or she originated. FIT They are cut full and true to size a 36 is a 36, and a 46 is a 46. The sleeves are shaped down to the wrist and the collars are cut to fit per fectly. FINISH Tou can turn them wrong side out and see that the seams are fin ished beautifully. They will bear the closest scrutiny. PRICE The Dries is alwavs a 52.50 worth of worth of value. Prices Range from $2.50 to $15 Let Us Show You Shop by-Phone Dwight P. Dilworth today. It served to deepen the mystery surrounding: the slaying of the Montclair attorney. The police of New York have failed to es tablish a motive. Mrs. Dilworth as serts one. She bases her statement on the facts she knows concerning her husband's mode of living. "Our home life was ideal," she said. "He was a man of a very affectionate disposition. But he had two person alities. One was the man of the home and the business life in which he was ideal in character. "The other was the Bohemian. He would seek diversion in the company of other women and of men who lived the lighter life. Also he would drink to excess but his drinking was period ical. "Many times he begged me to enter into this side of his life. But I re fused to do so. I told him I simply could not do it. 'Well, I would not want you to do it.' he would say after he had had his flirfg. 'I could not love you if you wanted to seek diversion away from your home.' That Other Woman. "I have heard of a woman in New ark who meant much in his life. D wight often talked to me of her. He never kept anything from me. It hurt sometimes when I realized that the other woman would share his com pany. But I knew there was never a Dresses $2.00 to 1$1.00 EACH fair price. If you pay $2.50 for If you pay J15.00 for a blouse u expect more? value. If you pay $15 Can you expect more? moment when I did not possess his love. "I knew there would come a day when such attractions as the Bohe mian side of his life was lured by would cease to charm him and I look ed forward longingly to the day when I would have him always. "It is strange that, knowing his fondness for gayety, I never felt there was anything sordid in his Bohemian life. "He was a man of the greatest in tensity, of the greatest likes and dis likes. When he was drinking he would not kiss our boy. He would not kiss me. 'I am not worthy to touch you,' he would say. No Trouble In Family. "That he was driving with a woman did not surprise me. I knew his habits too well. But I also felt that I knew him too well to fear for our happiness." By Mrs. Dilworth's side was the murdered man's mother. She denied emphatically that there had ever been any trouble between her son and his wife. "Why, with them it was a case of love at first sight. In their twelve years of married life there had not been a moment when love was not present in the home," said the elder woman. "I never know of two per sons' so completely devoted to each other," she added. Killed by Detectives? New York, Sept. 6. Detectives to day turned to the white lights of Broadway in hopes that they may cast some light on the murder of Dwight Dilworth, lawyer, in "Lovers Lane," Van Cortland park, Sunday night. That Dilworth was well known along Broadway and in its resorts, became known when "Dolly" Rogers, an ac tress, said she had introduced Dil worth to Mary McNiff, who was his companion on the night of the crime. Jealousy of some of Broadway's wom en is being put forward as a possible cause for the murder. "Dolly" Rogers, however, expressed the opinion that "dear old Dwight" might have been murdered by private detectives frightened out of their cau tion while trying to get something on him. TELEGRAPHERS WIN Granted Increase Wages and Shorter Hours to Prevent Walkout. St. Paul, Sept. 6. Telegraphers em ployed by the Northern Pacific rail road were awarded increases in pay, shorter hours and other working ad vantages in the settlement here today of their demands on the road, thus averting a threatened strike. Keyes Wins N. H. Nomination? Manchester, N. H., Sept. 6. With fifty-four of the 294 voting districts still to be hear dfrom, the unofficial figures of the state primary yesterday show Henry W. Keyes, of Haverhill as the Republican candidate for governor and John C. Hutchins of North Strat ford as the Democratic nominee. a blouse you get you get $15.00 Shop by Mail THE MANDARIN NECKLACE HAS JUST 108 BEADS NO MATTER WHAT SIZE OR SHAPE v .fife,.. W7 WT The new Mandarin necklace. Precious or emi-preclous stones, carved wood, filigree, beads or col ored glass all are found on the new Mandarin necklace but they must be just 108 in number. Roehanara, the Indian dancer, has introduced it and fashion seems to be pleased. There is thought to be a particular meaning to the strange design of the necklace with its flat and carved stone pendants and the beads strung at intervals along the silk tape, but no one seems to be sure what it is. The ntcklace is decorative and unusual however and more and more are being seen. SMALL CORN CROP Plenty of Roughage for Winter, Says Crop Report. Fourth of. Kansas Received Rains in Last Week. Light to moderately heavy rains fell in all parts of Kansas this week and almost a fourth of the state received amounts that totalled above an inch, tho the severe drouth is still unbrok en in a great majority of the counties, according to the summary of weather and crop conditions for the week end ing Tuesday issued by the weather bureau. The localities that were fa vored with rains heavy enough for present needs are mostly those in the south-central, northeastern and ex treme northwestern counties. The weather was cool and pleasant the fore part of the week but temper atures were much above normal after Saturday. Plenty of Rough Feed. The outlook at present points to an abundance of rough feed but only a small yield of grain from either corn or the sorgnums. Only a few extreme northern coun ties report that corn is still green enough to make further growth. About half of it has been cut for fod der or silage in the southern part of the state and perhaps 10 per cent in the northern part. Sorghums have begun to make a fine growth in many places but are so late e-ettine a start it is a Question whether they will mature sufficiently for a good yield or gram Derore irost comes. A great deal of kafir and cane in the northwest quarter has not headed yet and in that district there is very small chance that it can ma ture. Pastures are beginning to green up in those localities that have had good rains, but over the greater part of the eastern half of the state they are still bare and brown. Stock water is gen erally abundant except in a few south eastern counties. A crop of alfalfa seed that is rated at "fair" to "good" is in sight in the central third of the state. The third cutting of alfalfa for hay has been very light. Sowing Wheat Will Be late. Plowing for fall seeding is still de layed except in the Missouri river counties and those in the extreme northwest portion. As a rule farmers are waiting for soaking rains or else disking the ground and indications now are that sowing wheat will be later than usual this fall, except in the northwestern counties where some of it has been sown and is beginning to come up. Apples are reported to be dropping badly except in the Missouri river counties, where a fairly good yield is indicated and Jonathans are beginning to color. Picking will begin in about 10 days. Report From Washington. Washington, X. C. Sept. 6. Corn is maturing rapidly and the bulk of the crop will be safe from frost in ten to fifteen days in the extreme north, or about the average date of the first killing frost. The northern part of the central states needs twenty to thirty days more which will bring it safely ahead of the average killing frost period. In the southern part of the central states the expected date of maturing is ten days or more, earlier than the average killing frost date. The canning of sweet corn has be gun in New England. Rains in Kansas and Oklahoma will help sorghum crops and broom corn. The weather was favorable for har vesting hay, tobacco and the grains. Flax harvest has begun. Sugar beets are poor in Michigan but are making favorable progress in the western section. Buckwheat is improving. The ground is more favorable for plowing and work Is progressing ex cept in a few sections. Potatoes are showing damaging ef fect of the high summer temperature. Pastures need rain in parts of the east but the ranges are in excellent condition in much of the west. Two Aviators Hurt in 500-Foot Fall. Buffalo, Sept. 6. Major W. C. Campbell, a British army officer and Theodore De Kruijss, a Harvard stu dent, were seriously injured, by -the fall of an aeroplane today at the Cur tiss aviation school. The machine fell about 500 feet. Major Campbell's condition is regarded as critical, his skull was fractured and several ribs broken, ue jrvruijss was net so uaaiy injured. TO SHADOW LAWN President Will Leave Capital When Congress Adjourns. Did Not Sign Eight-Hour Bill Second Time. Washington, Sept. 6. President Wilson is awaiting only the adjourn ment of congress before closing the executive offices in Washington and going to Shadow Lawn, N. J., where the summer White House will be es tablished. The entire force of the White House is expected to go to anaoow Lawn. President Wilson did not sign again the 8-hour work day bill for employes or railroads on trains engaged in m terstate traffic. The bill had been kept at the White House since Sunday when it was signed, to clear up any misgiving as to the legality of the sig nature on that day. It is .understood the four brother hood chiefs were considerably disap pointed at not being invited to witness the signing of tne bill. w. s. stone, the last of the brotherhood heads to leave Washington, lift today for Cleveland. Mrs. Wilson will remain here until the president leaves for Shadow Lawn. Others to accompany the presidential party to the summer capital will be Miss Helen Woodrow Bones. President Wilson's cousin; the Misses Smith, of New Orleans, and Dr. Cary T. Gray son, President Wilson's physician, and Mrs. Grayson. Miss Margaret Wilson will spend a part of the fall at Shadow Lawn. Few Speaking Dates. The president will address a woman suffrage convention in Atlantic City Friday night. The only other speaking engagements he has at present are for September 20 before tne rational un derwriters' convention at St. Louis and for September 25 before the National Grain Dealers' association in Balti more. Arrangements for the presi dent's participation in the campaign have not been completed, but he is expected to make a number of speeches, going possibly as far west as the Pacific coast. President Wilson expects to direct the campaign largely in person, and there will be practically a continuous series of conferences between his man agers and himself at Shadow Lawn while he is there. TAKE UP OWENS BILL Senate Finally Decides to Consider Political Expense Law. Washington, Sept. 6. The senate today decided 32 to 14 to take up Sen ator Owens corrupt practices bill which would greatly curtail campaign expenses and impose heavy penalties for violations of its terms. Seven Republicans voted with Dem ocrats to take up the bill and seven Democrats voted against the motion. There has been a lively fight against the bill during which there have been charges and recriminations from both sides. The vote to take it up today does not necessarily forecast delay in ad journing congress. The senate took it up having nothing else before it but administration leaders said that in their opinion, it could not reach a vote. Republican leaders insisted that they would never let it reach one. It was planned to adopt a concurrent resolution fixing the time for adjourn ment as soon as the revenue con ferees can indicate when they can reach an agreement Such a resolu tion would check any attempted fili buster on the corrupt practices and would end debate. Piatt Wins G. O. P. In Nevada. Reno, Sept. 6. Samuel Piatt, of Reno, was nominated for V. S. senator by the Republican state convention over A. C. Howe of Goldfield. Con gressman E. E. Roberts was renomin ated without opposition. Senator Key Pittman was again given the nomina tion at the Democrat convention and E. E. Caine named for congressman.

Judging from correspondence with .prospective students, Washburn col lege may expect one of the largest en rollments in the history of the institu tion, which opens September 11, be lieves Dean Duncan L. McEachron. Last year was marked by a heavy at tendance approximately 800 but this year will see more students than ever before. New teachers and wid ened fields of instruction will be ready to receive them. More work will be offered in all subjects, espe cially in engineering, history and music. "The authorities of the Santa Fe shops have offered the use of their testing laboratories to students in civil engineering," declares Dean McEach ron. "This is something that will prove exceedingly valuable, as the laboratories are among the best of their kind in the country." The course in engineering is to be extended to include four years of work. A unique opportunity is -to be of fered the studei.ts working in the Santa Fe shops, aside from the un usual laboratory facilities. They are to be put thru an apprenticeship dur ing their last two years. Positions are t'j be open to them upon graduation. Luther R.

Loper, assistant profes sor, during the latter s leave of ab sence, is to be retained in his present capacity upon the return of Profes&or Loper. Margaret Swan Woodhull will be in structor in history, and will have charge of some of the freshmen. Miss Woodhull Is a Washburn graduate ana has had some years of successful teaching experience in the state. Her coming will leave Professor J. E. Kirkpatrick and Professor A. M. Hyde free to offer more advanced work. Ethel Grant is to be ah instructor in piano and the history of music She ia another Washburn graduate. who has been studying at the Boston conservatory and at the school of music at Ann Arbor, Mien. Miss Grant is well known in Topeka, where she has done private work at various times and where her talent is recognized. New Instructor In Voice. The appointments of a new instruc tor in voice and one in violin are to be announced shortly. Dean Horace Whitehouse will be back Saturday, when the annointment of the new teachers will probably be determined finally. Dean McEachron looks for success from the new system or student super vision which recently has been worked out. It is expected that the faculty will be enabled to Keep in personal touch with every student. Faculty ad visers are to work thru groups of the "big brothers" and the "Dig sisters" of the Y. M. C.

Hitchcock has submitted to National Republican Chairman Willcox a re port of his week's tour of the middle west. In substance. It was this: Campaign organization is from a month to six weeks behind that of 1908, when Hitchcock was Taft s na tional chairman. National committeemen and state chairmen are awaiting the primaries before getting to work for the pres idential ticket. Indiana is the only state where real pep is evident. Leaders are asleep in Illinois, Iowa, Ohia, Wisconsin, the Dakctas, Mis souri, Kentucky and adjacent states in the middle south and northwest. A. T. Hert. in charge of Chicago, knows the southwest, but is unfamiliar with the middle west or northwest. Indiana Doubtful. Only normal Republican majorities are in sight in Illinois, Iowa. Ohio and Minnesota, Indiana is very doubtful. Wisconsin is surely Republican and the Dakotas are likely to be so. Mr. Hitchcock was told by practi cally every leader that the August tour of Mr. Hughes was i mistake: that it was too early and lacked or ganization. Mr. Hitchcock suggested that Mr. Hughes make another tour of the west next month. Hitchcock's observations were un welcome to Chairman Willcox. He had been in Chicago and St. Louis and believed the rosy reports given him there. Nevertheless, Willcox commissioned Hitchcock to take a second look ever the field two weeks hence.

Incorporators and Stockholders in Attendance. Nearly forty bankers, farmers, busi ness men and lawyers, from western Kansas towns, came to Topeka today to attend a field day dispute concern ing bank charters before the state charter board. A dozen applications for new banks were involved and in nearly every instance there is a con test or dispute concerning the estab lishment of a new money lending in stitution. All of the proposed new banks are in Sixth and Seventh dis trict towns. Some of the prominent bankers in western Kansas are in Topeka this afternoon watching the proceedings Derore the state board. An all morn ing session of the board decided dis putes in but two towns and a number of fights were listed for the afternoon. Incorporators and stockholders of the new banks were either in attendance during the hearings or were repre sented by attorneys. One of the most stubborn bank fights of the day comes from Ells worth. Efforts to organize the Ells worth State bank with a capitalization or 5U,ooo brought down the wrath of established banking institutions in the town and district and both the men favoring and opposing the new bank came to Topeka prepared for a finish battle. Prosperity Is Responsible. Prosperity In the western counties is responsible for the heavy demand for new banks. The 1914-15-16 wheat crops have boosted the bank deposits tc the point where new records ire established and zeal to win some of the rich profits has resulted in a flood of applications for bank charters. Rec ords from a number of the banks in the western counties show heavy loans and discounts and unprecedented earnings for the stockholders. Ellis county men today won a charter for a new bank in the town of Ellis. Two old established banks are carrying more than a half million dollars in deposits in the town of 1,700 people. More than seventy per cent of the deposits are working, the testimony showed. The new bank is the Farmers' State bank, with a capi talization of $10,000. Two new banks were wanted in the little town of Denmark, Lincoln coun ty. The applications havr hen vrrit- the board on former occasions. Today the charter board followed its former course ana, denied both applications. New Bank at Weskmi. A new bank will he px.-nhlivlic.i Weskan, Wallace county, under action of the board. Members of the board today approved the application fnr a cnaner ror tne Weskan State bank, capitalized at $10,000. Other charters sought today by pro posed Kansas banks are: Citizens State bank. Hunter, Mitchell county. Capital, $10,000. Ellsworth State bank, Ellsworth. Capital, $50,000. Quinter State bank, Quinter, Gove county. Capital, $10,000. Croft State bank, Croft, Pratt coun ty.

The work of the charter board may not be completed until late this eve ning. BURY ZEPPELIN CREW English People Protest Agninst Mili tary Honors to Dead Germans. London, Sept. 6.

The State Jonrnal is a member of the Associated Press and receives the full day telegraph renort of that great news or ganization, for the exclusive afternoon publication In Topeka. The newe is received In The State Journal Duilding over wires for this sole purpoae. MEMBER: Associated Press. Audit Bureau of Circulations. American Newspaper Publishers' Association. It wouldn't be at all surprising If the Topeka postoffice should awaken some fine morning in the near future and find itself swamped with mail or der catalogues addressed to Topekans and the other good folk living in the territory surrounding the capital city of Kansas. It Is a business beast of the mail order houses that they are quick to place their catalogues with the people of a community where the local merchants fail to take advantage of the local advertising mediums, the local newspapers;,, or whenever the lo cal merchants cut down materially on their usual amounts of local advertis ing for a continued period. There is also this much for which to be thankful. During the exciting ly uncertain period when a nation wide railroad strike was '.n prospect the weather conditions were not of the sort to stimulate brainstorms. There are the usual differences of opinion among the goosebone weather prophets as to whether the recent new moon was of the "dry" or "wet va- liety. But the weather that has pre vailed since this moon put in an ap pearance a few days ago would seem to be rather conclusive evidence that it was a dyed-in-the-wool "dry' moon. And how does it happen that Ecnebody hasn't suggested lhat rrohi fcition Kansas has no right to expect pnv other kind of a moon for its portion All sides appear to be staging: con vincing victories in what may be called the Rumanian arer.a of the war. Parallel to the reports that the Kumanian armies are continuing their most successful drive are other re ports to the effect that tho Bulgars and the Teutons have joined hands in a tremendous offensive that has al retdy won them two of Rumania's im portant cities. An excellent suggestion -In the bi ennial report of the Kansas fish and game warden, W. C. Tegmeier, is that all homeless cats be killed, and for one very good reason, namely, that they prey heavily on young birds. There are a number of other sufficient rea sons, too, why stray cats should be killed. Even many cats that have homes and are not "strays" are more or less nuisances in the neighborhoods where they prowl about and stage their nightly concerts. t One day last week a vote was taken among the people of Wichita as to Whether or not it was their pleasure to have the motion picture houses open and doing business on Sundays. By a majority of 1,878 votes the citizens of Wichita registered their sentiments against movie shows on Sunday. And this Sunday-movie-show election in Wichita suggests that a rather unuiu at situation exists In the motion pic ture world in Kansas in more than one respect. In response to what was possibly popular opinion here, the nuthorltles of Topeka passed an ordt nance a few years ago prohibiting the operation of all theaters, including the movie show houses, on Sundays. This ndinance was repealed during the mayoralty administration of Mr. Bll- lard. But before the moue houses had an opportunity to take advantage of this repeal, Mr. John Dawson, then the state's attorney r.eneral and now a justice of the state supreme court, de livered himself of an ultimatum to the Blfect that there was plenty of state law and authority to prevent the run nlng of theaters in Topeka, and corol larily in Kansas, and that he would invoke it if any attempt were made to tpen the movie houses or other the aters in Topeka on Sundays. This Ukase from Mr. Dawson was suffi cient to keep the theaters of Topeka closed on Sundays, and they have been closed ever since Mr. Dawson took this stand. But daring all the time that the movie and other theaters in To peka have had their doors shut on Sundays, the movie nouses, at least, in other Kansas cities, Atchison and Pittsburg, to mention a coupls of thern, have been running on Sundays the same as week days, anil advertis ing their Sunday wares in the local papers of preceding flays. And with out entering into any discussion of the merits of Sunday movies or other the atrical shows on that day, suppose the people of Topeka should hold an elec tion on a proposal to open the picture show houses on Sundays and a ma jority of them should vote'in favor of it. Would the state authorities accept this popular verdict and permit the theaters to do business her-2 on Sun days, or would they continue the con tentions of Mr. Justice Dawson that were made by him when he was attor ney general? And If It has been the position of the state authorities that It Is unlawful and contrary to state statutes to operate movies or other theaters in Topeka, why has the same state authority permitted the opera tion of such places of amusement in other Kansas cities on Sundays? LIVESTOCK AND THE FARMER, In the current issue of the Kansas Farmer there Is reprinted from T. A. Pi'rman'i book, "Sorghums: Sure Money Crops," the following that would seem to carry an important message to the farmers of Kansas and every other state: Livestock farming in all countries and in all times has been found the most profitable. The census has shown that livestock farming In the corn belt pays from 18 to 48 per cent more income to the acre than does grain farming. In Kansas, the income from livestock Is 36 per cent of the state's total income, wheat being 21 per cent and corn 25 per cent each for a twenty-year period. It will be seen that livestock in Kansas in spite of the fact that hun dreds of farmers sell no ilvestock or lravstock products Is already a con siderable factor.! When the growing of livestock becomes a practice in Kansas as general as is the growing of grains for market, the farmer's in come will be greatly increased. Livestock gives to the corn-belt farmer the highest market for his grain and for this reason a greater cere Income from the grains grown. FAILURES IN AUGUST. Some expansion in the country's business mortality occurred during August, when 1,894 strictly commer cial defaults, involving $20,128,709, were reported to R. G. Dun Co. This compares with 1,207 suspensions for $11,647,499 in the previous month. 1,227 for $11,929,341 in June, 1,482 in May for $19,466,436 and 1,305 last year for $17,733,852. It appears. therefore, that failures in August were more numerous than in either of the two immediately preceding months, while the indebtedness, owing to sev eral reverses of unusual size, were the largest since January and son 't what exceeded the total a year ago, though the number was practically the same. More or less numerical increase is shown in comparison with all earlier years, but the August liabilities were less than those of 1914 and also fell below the amounts in 1918, 1908 and 1896. In point of number, relatively the best exhibit last month was made by manufacturing defaults, of which there were 335, against 35: a year rgo, 327 in 1914 and S31 in 1913, while the $10,884,302 involved by these suspensions compared with $9, 197,401, $16,168,970 and $11,264,770, respectively, in the three preceding years. Failures in the trading class numbered 997 and supplied liabilities of $6,557,808, in comparison with 971 similar reverses for $6,917,555. last year, 868 for $8,410,838 in 1914 and 781 in 1913 for $7,621,846. Among agents, brokers and concerns nrt pro perly included in either manufactur ing or trading there were 62 insol vencies against 72 a year ago, 7 7 in 1914 and only 33 in 1913, while the amount was $2,686,600, as contrasted with $1,161,596 last August, no less than $18,888,813 two years ago and $1,972,300 In 1913. Whereas there were comparatively few large failures in July, those for $100,000 or more Increased rharply during August, numbering 24 and in volving $7,987,209, against only 12 in the previous month for $2,247,456. Lust year, however, there were also 24 reverses of unusual size, with lia bilities of $6,981,362; in 1914 the num ber was 31 and the amount $32,101, G23; three years ago the figures show ed 3$ for $11,292,668, while in 1912 there were 25 such defaults for $7, 892,502. AN AERO SQUADRON AT LAST. On August 22, for the first time in the history of the United States regu lar army, aeroplanes passed in review of their commanding officer with troops of other arms, says the Sep tember issue of Aviation. This review was held "somewhere in Mexico" be fore Brig. -Gen. John J. Pershing. Long should this epoch making date be remembered and great should be the praise of those making the event possible. But equally interesting is the fact that the machines were efficient for combat service. The twelve aeroplanes with Ger.eral Pershing's expedition are all equipped with engines of 160 horsepower or over and have nachlne guns mount ed for immediate service. Every aero plane carries also two .351 Winchester automatic rifles with 200 tcunds of ammunition. Bombs of bcth an i cendlary character and also explosive bombs form part of the equipment and there are automatic cameras with this squadron. After all the criticism that has been leveled at the aviation arm of the service, it is a genuine pleasure to make a record of which every American should be proud. And the performance of these ma- chines during July gives promise of a brilliant future for the aeronautical squadron. These twelve machines were in the air a total of S60 hours, about ten hours a aay for a month. This flying was accomplished under the most unfavorable conditions and proves that the many difficulties which were encountered at the outset of the campaign have been overcome. The problem of suitable propellers has been partially solved by the erec tion of a propeller factory on the bor der. Propellers are never used for two reconnaissance expeditions in succes sion. As soon as a machine returns to its base at Columbus, N. M., the pro peller is removed and placed In a hu midor to preserve' the viscosity of the Sine which holds together the lamina lions and another propeller is taken out and attached to the machine when the time comes for its next flight. Ex periments with two, three, four and five-bladed propellers are being con ducted. The propeller problem will also be greatly minimized by gearing down the n i tors, which is also bei g done on new machines. Experiments with pro pellers of steel; and plated blades are being conducted by Several important companies. Too much tnought cannot be given to this essential factor. This revolution in the affairs of the aero squadron under General Pershing is chiefly due to the unlirin;jr work of Lleut.-Col. George O. Squier. XT. S. A., head of the aviation section of the signal corps. He brought to his pres ent assignment a knowledge of condi tions abroad and a determination to put aviation in the army on a sound basis. He has done it magnificently. All honor to him. General Kitchener said "Every aero plane is worth an army corps." It would be Interesting to know the opin ion of General Pershing as to the value of an aeroplane to hint. As a cavalry Officer of the highest reputation, knowing the extreme importance of reconnaissance, he must have found in the serviceable aerial equipment furnished him a splendid opportunity for comparisons. It is to be hoped that he will some time give the coun try his opinion. An effort to do what is right is gen erally successful. Mischief comes as naturally to some ioik as virtues do to others. When charity really begins at home tnere is usually a surplus for other ana outside places.

J GLOBE SIGHTS From the Atchison Globe. You probably know what von want until you get it. Some of the finish fights are a long time reaching that stage. Youth gets more aoDlause than merit, but not so many dollars. Much of the worry continues to be about things that never happen. Nor is the public speaker the only one who should knew when to quit. The endurance contest is some times put over disguised as entertain ment. It Isn't the woman who wears the fewest clothes who spends the least for dry goods. Many people who hate a petty thief are inclined to admire a crook who plays a big game. Don't take too much credit for do ing your duty, the other course often being the more difficult. No man should go Into politics with out learning to discount what the op position says about him. When a man says competition is the life of trade, he is often talking about the other fellow's business.

I was shocked the other day to see a most unlovely egression cross the face of a dear old friend of mine. She was Bitting opposite me, knit ting. I had my back to the door, she faced it, and had seen a group of peo ple entering. Among them was a girl, whom for some reason she intensely disliked. Hence the expression. And such an expression! Her mouth drew down at the corners, her whole face became sour and disagreeable, instead of sweet and serene. The change was startling and saddening. It showed what havoc the habit of hate can work when indulged. Per haps hate is too strong a word. I am sure she would not admit she hated that girl. If she admitted anything. it would only be that she disliked her. Hate Is an ugly word, and one to which we do not like to plead guilty. If anyone asked you how many peo ple you hated, you would probably say. "No one," yet there might be a great many people whom you would freely admit you disliked. Suppose, then, we call it the habit of dislike. Under either name It is a terrible habit. Nothing sours the disposition more quickly tnan to Indulge In it. I once knew a naturally sweet tempered woman, who fell into the habit. She conceived all sorts of dis likes and she let them fill a bl-r place in ner mino and neart. some were caused by some slight, real or fan cied. Others were utterly unreason ing, and directed against people who shouldn't have mattered a particle to her. f or instance, sne got a "nate on one of the girls at the nearest drug store, ana wouia waiK tnvee blocks farther to do an errand to avoid meeting ner. Her life was rather empty and she let these dislikes fill a large place in it. She was always saying, "I can't bear so-and-so, or uttering some little sarcastic remark when the name of any one of her beie-noirs was mentioned. You can't think how the habit changed her, how unlo el it mace ner appear. And then, a. great trouble entered that too empty life and proved anew tne old adage about clouds and lin ings, lor it orova. an tne mean nesses and littlenesses out. The older one grows, the less one can afford to be dominated by dislike. Youth covers a multitude of sins. Old age uncovers them. Don't let the dislike habit get hold of you. Drive it out when you first discover vourself indulging in it. There are some people whom we Just can't like, but we needn't dis like them. We needn't think about them. Don t give tnem tne power ever your thoughts that you give to anyone you dislike. That is doing them too great an honor and yourself too irreat a harm.

And cooling little breezes play Thru the sun-heated town Like children tippy toe they go, Hf-spying all about, And here and here, and to and fro, To coax the children out. And first they come by ones and twos, And then there comes a swarm Of little tads, sans socks and shoes, The day has been so warm And they are more than half asleep. Fresh from the daily nap, Just roused up from the rosy heap That lap in mother's lap. And then they feel the coaxing breeze Leave kisses on their hair; Its kisses touch their dimpled knees The sun's last dying flare Throws a red banner 'gainst the bine.

Miss Harriett Longatreth had one hobby weakness, let us call it, for go ing to the movies every night made an inroad of sixty cents a week on her slender income and she realized that the dimes she paid to the cashier of the Bijou should be drawing four per cent with the rest of her rainy-day fund. But," she argued sensibly, "if I'm happy in the evening I can work all day without noticing it. But if I 'don't have a little diversion I just get sick of the sight of raisin rolls, angel food and doughnuts. Besides, I make them better and my customers buy more. So I don't know but that I get a hun dred per cent on my investment." Miss Harriett was as attractive as she was sensible. And it was no fault of hers or of the scores of beaux she had had in her teens that she had never married. She had just been needed. That was all. Now every one was gone, and altho she stayed on in the old home she found it necessary to eke out the family nest egg by making goodies for the neighbors. No one guessed that capable, good looking Miss Harriett was having an affair, not even the recipient of her affections for she was. in love with movie actor! Night after night she watched for the "Green Crab" to flash on the screen, the insignia of the Morgold Film Company, because a thrilling drama would likely follow in which Carter Aylesworth was sure to feature. Now Carter Ayleswortn did not tatte the star part in these pieces, nor was he young and strong and handsome. To be frank, his hair waa thinning and turning gray, his nose was long and Irregular, and his eyes had a nearsighted, watery look that told of the habitual lens-wearer. Carter Aylesworth was the goat. Every picture has one. If the piece called for a poor devil Jailed for twenty years by mistake, he was the man. If the pretty heroine had to hurry home at night from the factory to her dependent old grandfather, it was Carter Aylesworth who submitted to shawls, crutches and hotwater basrs. If Indians caught and tortured a lone white man to be rescued later by a husky hero. Carter was the victim. If a family starved, he was right there in the limelight. He was confidence man, book agent, shyster, thief. Any thing that was altogether and entire ly wanting in glory. Poor thing!" Miss Harriett solilo quised at first. "Of all the mean things that man has to do! Why, he must hate himself!" But as time went on with no im provement in the situations, she be came Indignant. "Why can't they give him a decent part sometimes? Couldn't he save a baby from a burn ing house, or vent his righteous wrath on the villain about to murder some body by hitting him with a club? It Isn't fair for them to let that conceit ed young Farnsby have all the Monte Cristo parts. If they did play that. poor Mr. Aylesworth would be De Morcerf or one of those dreadful men!" You know what they say that Ditv is akin to. Yes love came next. 'If I had that poor man, I'll bet I'd increase his self-respect in about two days. It's Just because no one cares about him or takes an interest that he has that meek, hangdog look. I know that if he had some of my mince pies and spiced ham he would chirk up a bit. jy, out I would love to cook for him! He'd find out that this Is a kind old world after all. It would be kind of nice to have some one like that about. I imagine he has an angelic disposition and wculd be so grateful ror a little attention. I'd ratten you up if I Mad you. Carter." Yes, she was calling him Carter now to herself. She was soliloquizing thus one night before time' to go to the show. The dishes were done and she was crochet ing on the front porch. Tommy Jenkins cut across the street and up the path. Miss Harriett, can you bake mother another dozen rolls In the morning'' We got some swell company today and he's going to stay until tomorrow evening." "Sure, Tommy! Wait a minute and I'll give you a cookie. Who's the com pany?" "I don't know. A fellah from New York. I think he came to see about a house he wants to sell." "All right. Tommy, it doesn't mat ter. Tell your mother I'll do what I can for her." The next day Miss Harriet was cut ting out some biscuit when a head darkened the window. "Does Harriett Longstreth still live hert It asked. "She does," affirmed Miss Harriett and, looking up, she gave little scream of dismay, then paled and red dened with embarrassment. "Carter Aylesworth!" she gasped. "Yes. And twenty years ago I was Bert Stebbins, who lived next door. Don't you remember how I used to tprment you to death to marry me, Hatty? May I come in and talk things over. Something smells better than anything this old bachelor lias tasted since he left home." "Yes, do come in. Carter. I mean Bert. I just thought from your pic tures you were hungry! And I'vo been thinking they don't take very good care of you. You look so lenely, too! I have a notion to write a play for you myself and give you a star part just to show them you can fcct!" He laughed. "Maybe it will comfort you a little to tell you that they pay me the same as Farnsy, Hatty, but sympathy is a rare thing and I'm grateful. But you're rtght about me being lonely. I am, I wonder if, in stead of writing me a scenario, you and I couldn't make an all-star cast of a little play called 'Marriage?' If EVENING STOOT "Ah, Madarrj. in This you'll just say yes, Hatty, I won't sell the house." "I believe I will!" answered Miss Harriett, blushing. "But I'm just afraid I'll wake up and find I'm dreaming." (Copyright, 19J6, by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) DINNER STORIES An old couple had come up to Lon don on a short holiday, and whilst looking round one day they saw over a shop a sign which read: "John son's Shirt Store."

"Harry," asked the teacher of a rosy-faced lad, "can you tell me who Washington was?" Yes, ma'am," was the quick reply. He was the first president of the country." Quite right," replied the teacher.

And then, without a word of warning, trappers came. Yes, sir! Trappers that cared for our skins, not ourselves, and we found we had to do something.

"They came down from the Dark for est and drove the trappers away. And the country was saved. That is. it was saved as long as we kept new trappers from coming in.

Could Use Canals In Place of Railroads. rTS FOR SUBMARINE DEPOTS '"liesaeake and Delaware Should Be Kiel of America. Preparedness in All Ways To Be Theme of Convention. Philadelphia. Sept. 6. A mighty battle for deeper waterways "for com merce and national defense" will be fought here one week from today when delegates from every coastal state will assemble in the Kellevue- Stratford hotel for the Philadelphia convention of the Atlantic Deeper Waterways association. With adequate preparedness against commercial or international war being so agitated, the managers have set the ncenes for what they declare will be the most important and successful gathering this association has ever held. The theme of the convention will nlaze from behind the speakers' platform in electric letters "To Be Prepared for Commerce In Peace and Defense in War Is Common Sense Pre paredness." In Session Four Days. During the four days of the gather ing September 12, 13, 14 and 15 In clusive every phase of improving America's waterways will be discussed by men representing every profession and business line. The association numbers among its delegates gover nors, mayors, railroad presidents, con gressmen, senators, bankers, mer chants, army and navy experts and engineers. Two basic arguments will hold the center of attention: First, building harbors and canals to assure the movement of commerce In the event of labor wars such as the threatened railroad strike that would have paralyzed business. .Second, build to prepare against in ternational strife. The delegates will take trips on the Delaware river and various canols and vill visit the vast shipyard, built and building, in Camden and along the op posite shore of the Delaware. P"cretary of the N'a"y Dnniels will 1t liver nn address at the League Is land Navy yard in the afternoon. Ma rine drills, maneuvers and other exer cises will be held. President Wilson is expected to at-tr-nd t some stage of the convention though a definite date has not been sit. Will Petition for Ix-gislation- The intercoastal waterway as a l-itaiiR of defense will be one of the b':r;cet subjects. Taking advantage of the present craving for nrepar--Oness, th convention will urge legislation for deepening the Atlantic coast canals as submarine stations. An endless nrtvig-st-le chain, connecting all the lakes, bnys and waterways along the c iast line inside the ocean from New Eng land to Florida, is the hope of the con vention. Next in Importance, probably, will be the Chesapeake and Delaware canal called by leaders now on the ground Ihe "Kiel of America." This boiy of water will be hailed by speakers as strategically Important to thi:t coun try as the Kiel canal proved to Ger many. At least a dozen experts who lu;ve maue intimate studies of the possi bility in the D. and D. canal, will speak upon this. Unless present plans tail, definite steps towards securing legislation for improving the striti con necting the Chesapeake bay with the Delaware river so that it wil float warships and merchant ships alike will be talen.

Why is man and woman, half the time, feeling nervous, despondent, worried; some days headachy, dull and unstrung; some days really inca pacitated by illness. If we all would practice inside-Bathing, what a gratifying change would take place. Instead of thousands of half-sick, anaemic-looking souls with pasty, muddy complexions we should see crowds of happy, healthy, rosy cheeked people everywhere. The rea son is that the human system does not rid itself each day of all the waste which it accumulates under our pres ent mode of living. For every ounce of food and drink taken into the sys tem nearly an ounce of waste material must be carried out, else it ferments and forms ptomaine-like poisons which are absorbed into the blood. Just as necessary as it Is to clean the ashes from the furnace each day, before the fire will burn bright and hot, so we must each morning clear the inside organs of the previous day's accumulation of indigestible waste and body toxins. Men and women, whether sick or well, are advised to drink each morning, before breakfast, a glass of real hot water with a teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in it, as a harm less means of washing out of the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels the indigestible material, waste, sour bile and toxins; thus cleansing, sweeten ing and purifying the entire alimen tary canal before putting more food into the stomach. Millions of people who had their turn at constipation, bilious attacks, acid stomach, nervous days and sleep less nights have become real cranks about the morning inside-bath. A Quarter pound of limestone phosphate will not cost much at the drug store, but is sufficient to demonstrate to anyone, its cleanbine, sweetening and freshening effect upon a system. Advertisement. TRIP NEARLY DONE Hughes Will End Tour With Speeches in Maine. Addressed Crowd of Several Thousand at Cincinnati. G. 0. P. WILL CARRY KENTUCKY Manager Hert Confident of Re sult in His State. Hughes Mad at Lack of Crowd at Louisville. Cleveland, O.. Sept. 6. Charles E. Hughes practically completed yester day the transcontinental campaign tour on which he embarked August 5. This morning the train is speeding toward Buffalo and Albany, which lat ter point will be reached at midnight. Thereafter the private car. Constitu tion, In which the 12,000-mile jour ney has been made, will be headed for New England and Thursday, Friday and Saturday will be given to a rapid fire tour of the Pine Tree state whose local election next Monday is regard ed by political prophets as having some barometrical influence upon the national result in November. All the big guns of the party will have spoken in Maine by the time Hughes arrives there. He will, theie fore, come to the bat, so to speak', as the clean up man. Inasmuch as in i has been batting well above .300 in the political league during the past few days, these friends look for him to make the pennant safe so far as the Maine result next week is con cerned. The result of the day in Kentucky has served to convince the Republican leaders that there is a real chai.ee this year of carrying that state. A. T. Hert, manager of the western divi sion of the Republican headquar'ers, said last night: Kentucky Going Republican. "I am very well pleased with the preliminary organization work which has been done in Kentucky. The na tional committee is arranging to give some of its most noted speakers to the Kentucky campaign. All we need to do is to get out our vote and we will have the state in the Republican column again." Hughes' last speech in the west was made before a crowd of several thou sand at Cincinnati last night. Mr. Hughes declared as the train started on theflast leg of the journey to the Atlantic seaboard that he was well satisfied with the manner in which he had been received arttl was sure that the thoughtful attention with which his addresses had been heard everywhere would be productive of results. Hughes Was Mad. That part of Kentucky which is represented by Lexington tunned out and gave the candidate a good old fashioned welcome. Louisville did not do so wp'il as Lexington, for, notwith standing that announcement had been made that Hughes would speak there, when the party arrived at 8 a. m. there was no band, no crowd and no ar rangements for any speech. Hughes was frankly mad. He at least had expected to speak there. But in a few minutes along came A. T. Hert, himself a Kentuckian, who is in charge of the Chicago Republican na tional headquarters, with the explana tion that no meeting had been Intend ed for Louisville. "We didn't want to spoil the Lex ington rally." said he. That mollified Hughes a little. Then along came the Hughes and Fairbanks club of Louisville, headed by a band and en route for the Lexington rally. A crowd gathered, the movie men got busy and the entente cordiale between Mr. Hughes and his campaign mana gers was restored and the train pulled out for Lexington, amid cheers. Spoke at Lexington. Lexington was reached at 11 o'clock and a crowd of several thousand whooped it up for their fellow Ken tuckian, Hert, with Hughes cheers as a chaser. There was a street parade, a reception at the Phoenix hotel and later at 2:30 p. m. the big meeting at the city auditorium. The "speaking" at the city auditor ium this afternoon filled the big hall with 3,000 enthusiasts and outside there was another overflow meeting of 200 which Hughes later addressed. Both were enthusiastic gatherings. Hughes was introduced by Ed Mor row in a fine old spread eagle oration which awakened the echoes of the days before the war. After extolling the character of Lin coln. Hughes said in part: "No American feels a stranger to him because of his greatness. He is brother to us all. He is kin to the humblest because he interpreted the spirit of the plain people. "What is that spirit? It is the spirit of reasonableness; of fairness, of gen erous thought and judgment: it is spirit which repudiates the demands of oppression, of tyranny and of force.

GREEK CLASSIC CUT OUT OF ALL SCHOOL READERS Los Angeles, Sept 6. Horace M. r.ebok, superintendent of schools of Santa. Monica, baa thrown the har poon into the "Greek discus throw er." Mr. Rebok has declared that photog raphic half tones of the classic marble statue that stands In the Vatican should not be looked upon by school children. He characterized such a half tone used as the frontierepiece in the new sixth year literature reader of the California state series as "simple blase" and has had it cut from the copies of the book. Further, Superintendent Rebok has written to State Superintendent Hyatt, urging his point of view xnd express ing the hope that the state board of education will revise the oook and issue a new edition with the "discus thrower" omitted. LeRoy Armstrong, of Los Angeles, author of the book, says he cannot re gard the criticism of his friend. Re bok, seriously. He sarcastically referred to Uanta Monica's recent war against one-piece Lathing suits for women. "Discussion of bathing suits In Santa Monica," said Armstrong, "where mere man has attempted to ray what woman's bathing suits should he, has doubtless got on Mr. fiebok's nerves and destroyed his perspective."

Be Careful in Using Soap on Your Hair Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkali, which is very injurious, as it dries the scalp and makes the hair brittle- The best thing to use is Just plain mulsified cocoanut oil, for it is pure and entirely greaseless. It's very cheap, and beats the most expensive soaps or anything else all to pieces. You can get this at any drug store, and a few ounces will last the whole family for months. Simply moisten the hair with water and rub it in. about a teaspoonful is all that is required. It makes an abundance of rich, creamy lather, cleanses thoroughly, and rinses out easily. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and is soft, fresh looking, bright, fluffy, wavy and easy to handle. Besides, it loosens and takes out every particle of dust, dirt and aandruri. Advertisement.

"But always heretofore," j Principal A. J. Stout said today, "we j have merely said to the boys: 'Get out and grow.' It is the opinion of high j school authorities now that in cor rect posture and general health the average girl is ahead of the average boy. We are going to give the aver age boy a chance to catch up. The classes are now elective, but with in creased facilities we hope to make at least one year of physical training compulsory." In the three gymnasium classes a varied physical training will be of fered. Conspicuous is the introduction of the United States army drill. Be fore the end of the scnool year jur. Bearg predicts the high school boy who enrolls in these classes will be as proficient in military drill as any sol dier in the regular army.

House registered "peevishness" today against the news papers of Topeka, for failure to chronicle properly the achievements of the police department of his admin istration. Wealthy and influential joint keepers have been convicted and imprisoned, he declared, who in past years never gave the law a passing thought excepting in jokes. After protesting against lack of proper newspaper appreciation and listing the names of half a dozen, or so, alleged prominent jointists "brought to time" by the police department, Mayor House supplemented his griev ance by stating that a man didn't need credit for doing his duty. Money has been spent lavishly for out-of-town spotters in Topeka during the summer, who have been getting evi dence against these alleged violators and more money will be spent in the future for the same service, he de clared. He pointed to the following facts: His Achievements. That George Noller had pleaded guilty to two counts and has given s $2,000 bond to insure the city against his selling liquor for the next two years." The mayor declared that Noller is worth 8250,000 today if he is worth a cent. That Mary Chesney who hadn't been bothered for years now has her nose almost rubbing the bars of a prison. That the reign of Katherine Tassell has ended. That Porter Patterson's nicely fur nished home is now being used for living purposes, only, while Patterson is spending the year-end at Lansing. i nat the police has incriminatine: evidence against "Hickory" Jones.

Class in the field is the most required jf a shortstop these days and for speed between second and third there s hardly another in the league to match Everett. Flay ing along side Jack Barry has de veloped a lot of Scott't speed. m ft New York, Sept. 6. New York's whit slave investigation with its stories of wrecks of young women held in virtual bondage, was pointing near er today to probable entanglement of at least one police officer in alleged bribery and extortion thru which the system has been kept alive according to evidence in the hands of District Attorney Swann. Spreading its fangs from the streets, the white slave ring reached into the circles of "climbers" or near-society folk, the latest revelations indicate. There thru blackmail, the plotters en deavored to collect tribute after wom en furnished by the ring, participated in orgies of the "new rich." As District Attorney Swann pressed his investigation of revelations which are declared to have followed the ar rest of Rodolfo Guglielmt, self-styled "Marquis," new developments that may lead to further arrests and pos sible charges against police were ex pected at the prosecutor's office.

We occupied adjoining offices and our business relations were always cordial and most satisfactory. We also lived in adjoining houses-, both of us being young married men in those days, and we, as well as our families, saw much of each other in a neighborly and rriendiy way. "The friendship then formed be tween us has continued undiminished ever since, and I thii k there are few men, who knew him better or aopre ciated his fine qualities more than I did. He possessed in marked degree all the distinguishing traits of the in stinctive gentleman, and among these I may mention his unfaltering cour tesy and considerate attention to all men, whether in the lower or higher walks of life. He could not conceive that the opulent or distinguished in life's battles, were entitled to more courtesy or consideration than the lowly or those less fortunately circum stanced.

The trades union congress, representing nearly 2, 500,000 organized workers of Great Britain took an important and unexpected step today by adopting with a majority of more than 1,000,000 votes a resolution virtually endorsing the principle of protection. The resolu tions asks for "The adoption of meth ods for restricting or preventing the importation of cheaj. manufactured goods produced at lower rates of wages and under worse labor condi tions than prevail in this country." Although these words themselves accept the principle of a protective tariff wall, the protectionists among the labor delegates and in other circles- are not inclined to regard the workmen as having been won over to a complete change from free trade. One of the labor members of the house of commons said the meaning of the resolution was merely that measures should be taken to investigate the origin of goods and conditio under which they are produced vith a view to preventing the unloading of cheap goodf in this country af tor the war which is much feared. LIKES DETENTION HOME Officers Have Difficulty in Prying Bernardino Moncebiaz Loose. To 13-year-old Bernardino Monce biaz. 113 North Madison street, whose home life has been spent mainly in box car residences in railway camps and Mexican shanties, there is no place like the Detention Home. Her father is a Santa Fe section hand. Bernardino's mother is tubercular and it is up to the girl to do the house work, and look after six young broth ers and sisters. It is irksome to Ber nardino who is of a roving disposition. In fact her disposition to rove into for bidden paths decided the authorities of the Provident association to give a taste of the iron hand of the law by sendtng her to the Detention Home Monday for a day or so. When they went Tuesday to take her back to her home, instead of find ing an humble penitent they found a radiantly happy girl. No dishes to wash, no meals to cook, no six chil dren to care for. It took physical per suasion to get her back home. And when the authorities' backs were turned Bernardino took her be loved 3-year-old sister in her arms and tramped long blocks back to the Detention Home. And it now looks as tho dynamite is the only means which will separate her from the Detention Home and return her to her ailing mother, her wailing sisters and broth ers, and her father. 28 AMERICANS ABOARD Were on British Steamer When Sunk But All Are Rescued.

Bill Carrigan has less to worry than Wilbert Robinson, for in Detroit his two strongest contenders, St. Louis and Detroit are to lock horns. In Chicago, also, the White Sox and Cleveland Indians will go to the mat and one of these clubs will stand the chance of taking a death wallop. Boston and Philadelphia Nationals are having it out in Boston and today's schedule called for a double-header, while Robbie's charges and the Giants were doing the same stunt in New York. One of these clubs is bound to stick right on Robinson trail and then Robbie must go to Boston for the issue. Should Detroit win from St. Louis today and Philadelphia take another victory from Boston the standing would be: Won Lost Pet. Boston 74 56 .569 Detroit 75 57 .568 If the Braves succeed in downing the Phillies in both games today while the Giants and Dodgers break even, they will lead the National league race by half a game.

Extending electricity to Oakland and other points in Topeka has been delayed on account of failure of elec trical supply companies to fill or ders sent to them by the Topeka Edi son company and the Topeka Railway company, according to A. M. Patten, assistant general manager of the Il linois Traction company, owner of the two local companies. The failure of electrical companies to fill orders has not only delayed the installation of modern inprovements in Oakland and other suburban points, but it has de layed repair and extension work of the state railway company. The reason assigned for failure of the big companies to fill orders is re ported to be due to the fact that they are manufacturing munitions for European nations. In order to facili tate the street railway company's re pair work and track extension an elec tric welding outfit has been purchas ed. But much equipment needed cannot be obtained in Topeka and the railway company as well as the peo ple of Topeka must wait until the mu nition orders are filled before they can get the service desired.
