Mr. Stevens, who had been di vorced from her husband at Colum bus Kan., a short time before, was ar rested within a few hours at Mildred.

Tale from her confinement she testified during the trial that she had met Kistner at Kincaid. Kan., three vears ago, and that she had promised to marrv him. Before her child was born ."he asked him for aid but re ceived none, she testified. The baby was born at Oronogo. Mo., last May. She took it to Kin i aid and. at night, placed it on the porch of the home of William Uarcy, a wealthy cattleman, who she be lieved would give it a good home. Mrs. Stevens denied recollection that he had murdered Kistner. She testified that she remembered going to Bayard and asking the way to Kistner's home. "I guess I shot him." she said, but she remembered little else, not even the details of her arrest and the state ment she made shortly afterwards to County Attorney Anderson at lola. Her defense was emotional insanity and the unwritten law. She is 23 years old. Thruout the trial, she fat near Mrs, Kistner, wife of the murdered man. Occasionally their glances met, but they did not speak. Mrs. Kistner was well dressed, despite the fact that sev eral weeks ago she was found, almost penniless, working on the Kistner farm. Mrs. Stevens was dressed in Mark, her face pallid. The trial attracted a large crowd and was one of the most interesting ever held in this section .of the state. Several physicians, testifying for the Mate, declared she was sane at the lime of the shooting. KANSANS T0B0RDER Troop c avalry. Ordered to Mexico From Fort Klley. Junction City, Sept. 25. Troop A.

Topeka Exposition ow of In ternational Fame. INSPECT FAIR PERSONALLY Twenty-five Representatives to 3Iake Trip to Kansas. Australia Greatly Interested in Success of Enterprise. A sum of $50,000 has been set aside by the Australian government for a delegation of twenty-five persons and an exhibit at the Big Free fair in To peka next fall. Announcement of this move, which makes the Topeka ex position of international fame, was made today by W. F. Horn, American representative of the Foreign Press association of Australia. Mr. Horn is the government and press representa tive with headquarters in Topeka. He lives at 2325 Topeka avenue. "The Topeka fair has done more to place Kansas before the eyes of the people of Australia than any other method of advertising, Mr, Horn stated today. "The country is vitally interested in the proposition. I have wnt more than 500 conies of the State Journal containing accounts of the fair here to the government repre sentatives in Australia." In their enthusiasm over the To peka Free fair last year, it was decid ed to send $20,000 to Topeka for an exhibit. Mr. Horn said. The appro priation came too late, however, and word has- come that next year $50,000 will be available. A delegation of twenty-five persons will come to To peka from Australia. They will stay here for the fair and then make a tour of Kansas. They will report condi tions to their country upon their re turn to Australia. Have Views of Kansas. In speaking of the original interest in the Big Free fair, Mr. Horn said: "An item was published in the Saturday's State Journal relating to the idea of Topeka's Big Free fair penetrating clear to Australia, seems to have created some doubt in the minds of some, of our people a to the truth and source of this matter. The facta are the Queensland people have become acquainted with Kansas, her resources and her displays thru our statistical reports and from hundreds of photographic views of our state's natural features, and of im provements from almost every section of Kansas. Head of Free Fair. "Naturally when the 'Free Fair Proposition came up and was decided on, bs a fact, I included some notes on this matter in the regular com munication to 'The Week, and nearlv ZflJTk T.Znn mUenorth of Trieste, accom- conted this idea of a -Free fir' ,i i I received dozens of letters making in quiries about it. "In the sprinff or early summer of 1915 I sent to Mr. Ford, then of the treasury department, for '.he Agricui i tural and Pastoral society, the names of Mr. Samuel e. Lux and Mr. j. will i Kelley, in order that the matter could be handled more satisfactorily to all parties. I took and mailed fifty views of the Frea Fair of 1915, several of which were reproduced in their pa pers. The idea seemed at least feasible and steps have been taken to organ ize a Queensland Free Fair, to be held during their rr.id-wii:ter season in Au gust. A fair has been held in Bris- i bane at this time of the year for several seasons, but not on a scale equal to the Topeka fair. "On Monday, Sept. 11, 1916, I re ceived a letter from Mr. Ford, enclos ing an order for a typewriting machine and a letter asking for full information regarding our great Free Fair, with names of the officials in charge, etc.', with views of the fair displays. Fifty of these have been forwarded together with premium lists and copies of the State Journal containing the accounts of the fair to Brisbane. Samples of Products. I "I now have more than two hun dred samples of Kansas products on exhibition in Brisbane, which were used at their fair in 1915. "Kansas people should not forge that the Topeka Free Fair has done more to place Kansas before the peo ple of many foreign lands than any other source of advertisement she has invested in, and many favorable com ments have been made on our state's prosperity." AUTO GLARE IS FATAL Blinded by Lights, Drives Off lload Woman Is Killed. Danvilie, 111., Sept. 25.

In Dobrudja, the battle is growing less violent but the Rumanians retain the initiative. The allies have suffered, a reverse in the fighting east of the'Vardar in Macedonia, but on both wings are pressing forward. A fierce battle is going on south of Kenali, where the Serbians are attacking strong systems of Bulgarian defenses, barring the way to Monastir. Cat Trieste Water Supply. Rome, Sept. 25.

Tivo More Arrests In Blackmail Syndicate Case. Under Fake Arrest, Couples Brought From T. Y. Chicago, Sept. 25. Two more ar rests on sensational charges in connec tion with the nation-wide blackmail syndicate, served today to turn atten tion from the local political fight which the case threatens to develop into here. Homer T. French, who was seized yesterday, charged with posing as a secret service agent to force $15,000 in hush money from a couple brought here some time ago from New York, supposedly by French and accom plices, and today any connection with the case. He said Hinton G. Clabaugh, federal investigator, has known all along where he has been. James Christian was rearrested with French, but was later released on $10,000 bond. They are accused by Clabaugh of assisting in the plot whereby A. R. Wesley and Alice Wil liams, whose addresses are withheld by CJabaugh, were brought to Chi cago from New York, put thru a mock trial before a fake federal com missioner and allowed to go by paying $15,000. Two others, George Irwin and "Doc" Brady, are named by Clabaugh as supposed participants. Irwin was ar rested with French here in June, but is a fugitive from justice. French has been on parole to Clabaugh since then. French and Christian, it is said, will be taken to New York for trial.

TOPEKA'S QUOTAJIVE KILLED Safety Zones and Traffic Courts for Remedies. This City's Death List as Great as Kansas City's. New York, Sept. 25. More people have been killed and injured by auto mobiles on the 3treets of American cities during this year, than in all the Zeppelin raids on England. Chicago and New York lead in the number of deaths, with more than 200 each be tween January 1 and September I. The number of fatalities in other large cities is proportionately high. These figures, compiled today, on reports from a score of cities, are based upon police records, which show a constantly growing death list as a result of automobile accidents. In New York and other states even more drastic legislation is being urged. In the cities from which reports were available today, figures up to September 1 show that a total of 1, 040 persons have been killed and more than 8,000 injured. Only par tial lists of injured were received and it is possible that the complete toll would show almost double this num ber. Zeps Killed 368 in Two Years. In Zeppelin raids on England to date about 368 have been killed and 870 wounded in two years. Police re ports show 158 persons killed ;.nd 4,484 injured on the streets of New York up to September 1. The New York State Automobile association es timates show 226 killed, however, for New York city. Chicago records show 205 killed, while Philadelphia reports 88. In Detroit 63 were killed and 2,71a injured up to September 1- Los Angeles reports 75 killed and Columbus, Ohio, 40. In many cities heavy penalties are being inflicted for driving a car while intoxicated and other remedial meas ures are being considered. Police Commissioner Woods has urged drastic legislation for this state. The next legislature will again be asked to pass a law compelling every operator of an automobile to obtain a license. At present only chauffeurs are required to do this. New York and Chicago have spe cial traffic courts, which handle only violation of traffic rules. City Reports on Fatalities. Practically all cities now have strict traffic rules, "safety zones" for per sons boarding street cars, and speed laws The traffic systems are largely modeled after that introduced in New York but improvements are constant ly being sought. Reports of fatalities and injuries in cities other than those already mentioned follow: St. Louis, 37 killed. Cleveland, 30. State of Iowa, 30 killed and 400 injured. Des Moines. 15 killed. Denver, 26 killed, 524 injured. Milwaukee, 21 killed. Washington, 19 killed. San Francisco, Portland and Seattle, 38 etich. St. Paul and Minneapolis. 7. Dallas, 5 killed, 37 injured.

Sheriff Carroll Was Reinstated by Governor Today. CITIZENS ARE BEHIND HIM Executive Is Convinced Official Did His Duty. Effort! to Uncover Evidence on Lynchers' Identity. Governor Capper today reinstated E. G. Carroll as sheriff of Johnson county. Evidence before the governor showed that Carroll had exhausted every effort to block mob violence in the lynching of Burt Dudley and has acted in good faith in his investiga tions. With the restoration of Carroll to office, it was announced that state departments would go into the John son county probe. Carroll came to Topeka todav to present his case to Governor Capper and S. M. Brewster, attorney general. Hollowing a lengthy conference Gov ernor Capper announced that Carroll would be reappointed. He also an nounced that S. M. Brewster, attornev general, would either go to Olathe personally or send an- assistant attor ney general to the investigation which begins October 5. Many letters, telegrams and tele phone communications were received by Governor Capper relative to the reinstatement of Sheriff Carroll, who automatically stepped out of office wnen .Dudley was lynched. In prac tically every instance Johnson county citizens urged Carroll's reappointment. A personal investigation by the gover nor showed that the sheriff had acted in good faith. Capper Is Convinced. "I am convinced that Sheriff Carroll used every method and means at hi command in an effort to prevent mob violence," said Governor Capper. "The case has been thoroughly investigated and the eviaence, as well a the Judg ment of leading citizens of Johnson county, indicate clearly that Carroll should be appointed. He has assured me that he will go ahead with the investigation and will seek the arrest of the men who" participated in the hanging. The state will also take a hand in the case. Either General Brewster or one of his assistants will go to Olathe October 5 for the in vestigation and will help to uncover any new evidence." Sheriff Carroll is a Democrat. He has made an excellent record during his present term. Because of his popularity, the Republicans did not nominate-a man against him. His re appointment today means he will service the balance of his present term and will succeed himself to office without a contest. Carroll spent sev eral hours at the state house today and left for his home in Olathe fol lowing announcement of his reinstate ment.

Mr. McDaniels' declarations wer made in the form of a signed state ment given out from his cell at the county jail. In it he characterized as false the statement made bv Bart Lockwood, the special profecutor. that McDaniels was guilty of the crime. Countless false and slanderous rumors have been circulated about me and some have tried to blacken the rair name of my wife," the accused mans statement read. "It seemed in their sight not enough that my wife whom I have known and loved since she was a 12-year-old girl, should be torn from me. They hope to assas sinate the character and blacken the future of the one left to cars for and safeguard the welfare of my three motherless children." The statement shows that Mr. Mc Daniels will base his defense on theory wiat me murder was committed by burglars and says: "The statement of Lockwood also shows that he knows nothing of the connections, operations and desperate character of the three gangs of dope fiends and robbers that have Infested this city during my term of office Neither has it occurred to Mr. Lock wood that desperate burglar would kill a woman to get a $300 diamond and ftther articles and to avoid identifica tion as the thief."

When told that a special grand jury had been called to investigate the case, McDaniels said that such action was very proper and for his sake a grand Jury should have been called before this. "You remember that I recommended a grand Jury investigation of the mur-. der several weeks ago." he said. It was said by Chief of Police Moon that McDaniels called upon him last Saturday night and in a conference with the heads of departments asked to have a special detective assigned to the investigation of the murder and of fered to put up $250 for any expense that would be incurred.

The special prosecutor will also charge that the "fake telephone call" was McDaniels's invention and part of a plan to divert suspicion to those whe had threatened him for his official acts. Allege Attorney llrcd Shots. Lockwood will charge further that McDaniels left the house after the murder and fired all the five shots heard by the neighbors. Ickwood declared the case is conclusive and based largely on testimony of wit nesses who were not heard at the in- -quest. McDaniels took his arrest lightly, laughed, said "All right," and walked two miles to prison. Mrs. McDaniels was found dying by her husband when he returned from ai-swering a telephone call to come ti a saloon and get his brother, who was in trouble.

2 CAPTURE CREW i AFTER FELLING i TVOjlPPELINS Germans on Other Destroyed Craft Burn to Death. Charred Corpses Found Scat-5- tered About Wreckage. 115 ZEPPELINS RAID ENGLAND tReport Thirty Britons Killed hj Aero-Bombs. Harvest of Destruction in Nu merous Air Combats. London, Sept. 25. With three of Germany's biggest and latest types of i Zeppelins brought down on English 'soil within as many weeks. Britons to day believed London is now more se cure against air raids than ever be fore, despite the fact that the last two raids were made with a greater num bers of aircrart than ever before em ployed. Military officials declare that rthe air defenses of London have stood iTthe supreme test in repulsing the fleets of raiders which attacked the city on the night of September 2 and again Saturday night. T In the finst instance an aeroplane brought one of the super-Zeppelins .tumbling to the ground in flames. Lat est reports indicate that anti-aircraft guns scored the hits on the two big airshipo which were destroyed Satur day night. The latest estimate of Casualties put the number of men, Jwomen and children killed in the raid at thirty, tine hundred and ten were injured. Of this number twenty- eight were killed and the nir.ety-nine 5 injured in the metropolitan district of H London. t 15 Airships ill Saturday Attack. Fourteen or fifteen airships took j 4 part in the big raid Saturday night, .the las official statement to be issued a by General French declared. Only three of the Zeppelins approached -London for an attack, however, and f they were driven off by the anti-air- craft guns. The two airships brought down fell near the little village of Mangold. Bodies of the crew of one of the air cruisers were found scat tered about their burned craft badly 4 charred. Twenty-two men, compris ing the crew of the second, were made prisoners by a lone constable, who was the first to reach the scene of the wreck and in turn gave them over to I the military authorities. Thousands saw the first Zeppelin, .which was entirely destroyed, fall like a flaming comet thru the sky. Sight 8 seers flocked to Essex county thruout Sunday and today to view the wreck age of the big air cruisers. The mo tors and other parts of the Zeppelin, j less seriously damaged, were gathered together by members of the royal fly iins corps, however, for inspection, and souvenir hunters were kept at a dis tance. Residents of the Essex villages where the raiding monsters were sent to their doom are' absolutely unmoved .by the visit of the Zeppelins. There' .rwas cheering and rejoicing, when the airships, comet-like, made their fiery .'descent to destruction. But after the J night of the raid was over the Zeppelins lay, each a shattered mass rof twisted debris. One of the ma- chines fell within half fa. mile of a vil- lage with a population of barely 'more more than 1.000. Three air f ships brought to the ground within t three weeks by English gunners seems tto have instilled in them a certain confidence that they will be protected -no matter what comes. Expressions of commendation for the advance in the methods of defense :adopted for London and other sec-"-tions of England came from the press and officials alike today. French Fliers, 250 Mile Trip. Two French fliers made the trip from France to Essen, where the great Krupp works are located, a -journey of more than 250 miles, where they dropped twelve bombs and returned safely. French reports also declare fliers iof that nation brought twenty-three Herman fliers to earth in the last two days. Great Britain adds a claim of five German aviators brought down, -a total of twenty-eight. Berlin makes the statement that twenty-four allied machines were shot down twenty on the Somme front.

J., Sept. 25. Pres ident Wilson opened his "'porch" cam paign here Saturday with a speech to a delegation of New Jersey business men gathered at Shadow Lawn. Out side of his speech of acceptance, it was the first address he has delivered since his nomination. President Wilson declared his sur prise that the chief cloud upon the American horizon is the relations be tween capital and labor. So long- as capital and labor are antagonistic, he said, there will be danger. "I do not regard the principle of the eighj-hour day as arbitrable," said the president. "I made that plain at the beginning of the railroad con ferences." Mr. Wilson said he believed in an eight-hour day because under it men do better work. He cited court de cisions to show that an investigation was the only way to tell whether the railroads could afford an eight-hour day. He went into the details of the nego tiations with the railroads and the em ployes. He declared from the begin ning he did not ask either side wheth er the solution he suggested was ac ceptable to them. The president declared that labor is not "a commodity but a form of co operation." He urged the necessity of a better understanding between capital and labor. "It would be'' intolerable for the commerce of the country to be held up," said Mr. Wilson. "The danger in the situation was that the people of the nation were not represented." The president pointed to support given by Republicans in congress to his plan. He said: "This had to be done at the time it was done." The president declared that America had devoted itself "time out of mind" to peaceful pursuits and that business is the expression of this object. A new spirit has come over Ameri can business recently, he said. "There never was a time when the pulse of energy and success beat eo high in the blood of America." he said. "But improvements are to come. America is about to release her energy. The problems that are before American business are world prob lems. Some look backward." President Wilson, replying to the attacks of Charles E. Hughes, the Re publican nominee, on the administra tion's action in respect to the eight hour law for railroads, said: "When I was discussing the railway situation, I realized that the most im portant thing was to bring employes and employers to understand each other better." A way must be found, President Wil son said, for preventing a repetition of a situation like the threatened rail road strike. "I invite all subscribers to suggest a method," he added, "America is never going to say to an individual, 'You must wprk.' but it is going to tell organizations of men that they shall not interrupt the life of the nation. The entire program for the solution of the railroad problem proposed by me to congres is going to be passed." After discussing the railroad situa tion fully, Mr. Wilson recited the leg islative achievements of his adminis tration. He was frequently interrupted by applause. At the. end everybody cheered.

STATE JOURNAL IN BUCKEYE STATE Hughes Opens Three Days' Campaign in Ohio. Protective Tariff Is Star Plea in Factory Region. Dayton. O., Sept. 25. Republican Nominee Hughes brought "his policies into the Buckeye state today, begin ning a three-day oratorical marathon. Because his throat is still inflamed and his vocal chords frayed by., his long distance -speaking in Indiana, Mrs. Hughes and the nominee's' phy sician. Dr. L. D. Alexander, Jr.. for bade anj' out-of-door speeches here in Dayton. The local committee, there fore made up for lack of apeech from the candidate by a program which sought to show hi.n off to the populace from morn till night. Hughes arrived at Dayton shortly beforo 9 o'clock and was met by a reception committee headed by J. ,T. Nevin. Latr in the day Governor Frank B. Willis, of Ohio, joined f "nomination special" and traveled with the party during Hughes' stump ing in Ohio. First of all today the candidate was whisked off to the Sol diers' Home. Then at 11:30 he was to make a speech before the League of Republican clubs. This afternoon he was due to put in an appearance and review a parade at the state fair grounds, and tonight to deliver his big speech of the day at the city auditor ium. In between times he expected to confer with Ohio Republicans on the political outlook ex-Governor Myron T. Herrick and Ralph D. Cole being among the number. Guards Voice Carefully. Hughes begins the second week of nis second campaign tour in splendid shape. But the superhuman efforts at stumping he made in Indiana have left his voice in such shape that it is an obvious effort for him to talk. Fresh from three days of constant ovations in Indiana, and met here to day with a big and enthusiastic crowd, he was literally bubbling with en thusiasm and energy or at least as nearly bubbling with enthusiasm and energy as a former supreme court justice can bubble. Specter of Closed Factories. Hughes plans to make the tariff and Americanism his main themes in Ohio speeches during the next few days. The specter of closed factories after the end of the European war if the Democratic principle of a tariff for revenue only is continued, whicn the nominee so stirringly invokes, made a big hit in Indiana and the candidate ia of the opinion it will be an equally potent campaign argument here in onio. SEARCH FOR MISSIXG ATTORNEY Bostonlan and Wife Disappear in the "Biff Woods." Dixville Notch, N. TI., Sept. 23. Thoro search of the "big woods" near here is being made today for Joseph A. Denhison, former assistant district attorney, of Boston, and his wife, who hove been missing since Wednesday, when they started on a walk thru the forest. So far, however, no trace of the couple has been found. Mr. and Mrs. Dennison .ad been here ten days. They were appar ently in the best of health when they started on their walk but as the woods are deep and afford little r no aid to human subsistence their continued absence has caused alarm for their safety. Daniel H. Coakley of Boston, an attorney and brother of Mrs. Den nison. is expected her late today to participate in the seTch. District Attorney Pellitier in Bos ton endeavored to stimulate the search by asking the authorities at Colebrook. N. H., to render all pos sible assistance in the effort to find them. Daniel E. Coakley, Mrs. Den- nison's brother, announced, before leaving today to join the search, that i a reward of J1.000 would be paid for the discovery of the couple, j Governor McCall also wired to Governor Spaulding of New Hamp I shire, asking the assistance of .the j authorities of that state in the hunt.'

S. EXPORTS WARHATERIAL For Gunpowder. Alone, $173,- 000,000 in One Year. $138,000,000 Paid by War Na tions for Autos. KEEP 5,000,000 MEN BUSY Industrial Preparedness Needed to Meet After-War Conditions. U. S. 'Exports Break Record at $4,333,658,000 in Year. Washington. Sept. 25. The total cx ports from the United States for the year ending June SO, 1916, amounted to 14,333.658.000. According to the New York Times, which is enthus iastically' supporting President Wilson and which has made a careful study of the subject, three-fourths of these exports constituted war, trade. That 1 of the export trade of the United States during the year ending June ao $3,249,000,000 was due solely to the European war. What does that mean It means that the amount received from the war trade would be more than sufficient to pay 3,000.000 work men $3.50 a day for an entire year, of $12 days. $37,000,000 for Cartridges. Of course, some workmen received much more than $3.50 per day. Others received less, but allowing for these variations and for the share which went for material, rent of buildings. Interest on plant, wear and tear of machinery and employers' profit. It is a perfectly reasonable assumption that not less than 5,000,000 workmen were paid their entire wages out of the receipts lor war materials. Among the war exports we find $173,000,000 for gunpowder: $3.00, 000 for dynamite and $252,000,000 for all other explosives: $18,000,000 for fire arms; $37,000,000 for cartridges; $7,000,000 for aeroplanes; $24,000,000 for barbed wire, used in making de fenses; nearly $100,000,000 for'horses and mules, $138,000,000 for automo biles and parts thereof. Hughes for Industrial Preparedness. Of course, the instant- that peace is in sight the demand for all these things must cease. In fact, many of the contracts already awarded to American manufacturers rnntnin n. clause permitting cancellation at any time the war shall end. In his western speeches. Governor Hughes is urging that a definite nolicv of "industrial preparedness" be adopt ed and iiis. insistence upon the neces sity therefor meets with enthuiastic re sponse from every workman, every farmer and every manufacturer in his audiences.

President Metcalf assailed the rail roads in strong terms for the trans portation facilities anoraea me cup pers during the past year, asserting that they have been "unusually in ferior, inadequate and extremely un satisfactory." Railroads Getting w orsc. It seems to be a self-evident fact tw Mirair declared, "that the rail ways are growing more Incompetent every year to taite care 01 m shipments offered them. 'We oeneve me iuiic iwd when rigorous measures of some de scription should be taken to compel the carriers to furnish proper equip ment for the transportation or gram. Carriers Insist that it is Impossible for them to make such provision because of the depletion of profits caused by the greatly increased cost of labor and material, and that freight and passen ger rates do not Justify them in mak ing expenditures necessary to cure the evil. Whether these allegations are racts or fiction, we are convinced that reme dial steps should be taken to guaran tee relief." The address endorsed President Wilson's position that he should be au thorized by congress to appoint com missions of "unprejudiced and un biased business men to investigate such problems as this where then is no commission appropriate to do so.' President Wilson Arrives. Baltimor-i, Sept. 25. President Wil son came to Baltimore today to deliver the second speech of his campaign for re-election. He was driven lmmeai ately to the Lyric theatre for his ad dress before the National Grain Deal ers' convention. The president's progress thru the streets was marked by a continuous ovation. Four automobiles carried his Immediate party. There were no bands because of Mr. Wilson's insistence that the occasion be kept non-partisan Frequently, however, he was forced to bow in response to applause. A com mittee representing commercial or ganizations and the grain dealers" as sociation met htm as he stepped upon the platform at the theatre. The audi ence stood and applauded.

TODAY'S MARKET REPORTS Chicago, Sept. 25. WHEAT Wheat rose today to the highest prices this season. Scarcity of offerings fiss much to do with the latest upturn in values, and so, too, did reports of a large export demand. It was pointed out that world shipments showed a material falling off as compared with a week ago. Bears seemed unable to make any headway with arguments about the possibility of a sudden termination of the European war or as to a chance of the release of Russian supplies. Opening prices, which ranged from c to 20 higher, with December at $1.56 to $1.57 and May at $1.56 to $1.57 were followed by additional gains in some cases. Subsequently profit taking by holders led to a material reaction despite news of a probable crop failure In Argentine un less rains come soon. In thel ate trading the bulls were handicapped by an increase of the United tSates visible supply total. The close was weak at $1.55 to $1.5Ti4 fqr December and $1.54 for May with the market as a whole c off to c up com pared with Saturday's finish. CORN Corn gathered strength from wheat. Besides, there was talk that 11 cent hogs meant dollar corn. After open ing Vc off to c up, the corn market scored moderate gains all around. Later the market essed down owing to realizing sales. The close waa weak at c to 1c net decline. OATS In oats, the chief influence was the bulge In values of other grain. Buying, however, was only of a scattered sort. PROVISIONS There was no urgent call for provisions. In the absence of nny fresh stimulus, the market seemed somewhat inclined to sag.

THE TOPFKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL MONDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 25. 1916 VOTE 0N STRIKE 100,000 ew York Workers Cast the Die Today. General Walkout Wednesday Depends on the Result. UNIONS FACEA CRISIS Jlany Men Do Sot Want to Quit Their Jobs. Leaders Insist t ar Men Will Be Given Full Support. New York. Sept. 25. Labor organ izations, including about 100.000 work ers met today to vote on the question of joining in the proposed general strike to take effect here Wednesday morning. Krnest Bohman. secretary of the conference of labor leaders directing- the movement, asserted that unions representing 179.500 workers already had voted to quit work. A meeting of the leaders will be held this afternoon to hear the reports from the local unions. Among those to vote today are the machinists metal workers ami If undrymen ax.a buteners Secretary Bohm asserts that it t ne .-eneral strike becomes effective it win not list more than two days, as he believe, it ill quickly force the trac tion companies to arbitrate with their striking emnloyes Labor leaders held secret Pui.day In various parts of the city to th devise a. plan tor manniK I for a B-jnerui u.-.j-"- 'rVcpoi ts of defections among the un ions ;.hat had been counted upon as nmona the most loyal adherents of the American federation in any situation i, mav arise brought the leaders fare to iace with the fact that they were confronting a crisis. Walk Out Assured? Crave doubts were expressed by many of the leaders as to 'he ability ,.f the centra federated union to make I.," its threats. But. in spite of th-se expressions, the men who have l.een most active in fmen"nB,." plans for the walkout persisted in their Ltatemerts that a walkout which would sta:;ser tile city was assured It is impossible to say how many workers will so out on Wednesday and we are not crossing any bridges until we come to them." said lllian B. ritzu-erul.l. general .rizerot the Amulmagated Association of electric Hallway employes of America, r itz--erall i -a" one man above all others upon whom rests the responsibility ft r the unions' fight against the Inter borough and the surface rail way lines. I think." added Mr. itzgerald. th- the organized effort to belittle the strike has do.ie more to stimulate the unions lo co-operation than any thing else -hat could have been de- Krnest Bohm. secretary of the Cen tral Federated union, was one of the most optimistic of the labor leaders. He !ihl: "We have heard from sixty of the local unions. These have an aggre gate membership of 160.000 and they lire all pledged to suspend work on Wednesday." Will Workers Quit? Mr. Bohm was asked: "Will the workers abide by the pledges of their union officials?" He said: "1 can but repeat what I have just said. The unions are pledged to go out." "Hut will the men go out?" Mr. Rdhni was asked. "We are sure that the trades direct ly connected with the street railway service will go out at once. The oth ers might be slow in answering the call." Mr. Bohm admitted. "I it not a fact that there are seri ous objections on the part of the men?" was the next question. Mr. Bohm replied: "If there are we do not know of them." Further than this he would not comment. Inquiry among the men disclosed .the fact that many have protested against leaving their positions at this time. With the prospect of increasing prices of foods and other necessities of life, rhev do not care to risk their positions, especially in a strike of this kind. IH'niaml General Strike. And the Central Federated union men evidenced their concern over the prospects when they began the task of making a direct appeal to all of the six hundred labor ftrganizations in the city urging, co-operation in the threat ened walkout. Under Mr. Bohm's di rection 1.000 letters were sent to the officials of local unions. The river front coopers' union, with 800 members, voted to suspend work if there is a general strike. And the couching of their resolution in phraseology that made it operative only in the event of a general strike, was- regarded as one of the most sig nificant actions of the day. Other ions professed their readiness to par ticipate "if there were a general strike." but even the most optimistic of the leaders would not predict a "general strike" of all the trades.

ASK HEALTH LAWS Committee of Teachers Would 3Iake Supervision Compulsory. Advocate Teachers' Pensions Approve Movie Censor Board. Compulsory health supervision in both rural and city schools, a longer tenure for school superintendents, cen tralization of schools, a mandatory teachers pension law, county schools in the state, the removal of the state superintendent of instruction from politics, and the separation of the duties of moving picture censor from those of the state superintendent are some of the topics covered in the res olutions compiled by the committee of the Kansas State Teachers' associa tion and submitted to that association for consideration before the meeting here in November. It was pointed out by F. Pinet, secretary of the association that these resolutions are seldom changed by the association at its annual meeting. The committee favored amendments perfecting and strengthening the rural high schools in the state to the end "that every child in the state may have access to a free high school and that both industrial and cultural courses may be offered in all rural high schools." Would Change Movie Censors. In regard to motion pictura censor ship the resolutions contain the fol lowing: "We fully endorse the cen sorship of motion pictures as carried out by the department of education. But inasmuch as this does not belong to the duties of the state superintend ent we recommend that it be removed to some special commission. The article on health supervision reads: "We advocate the passage of such laws by the state legislature as will secure efficient health supervision which will be made compulsory in both rural and city schools. We deem this a public necessity." The committee on resolutions o composed of the following: Supt. M. F. Moore, Leavenworth; Supt. May Cain, Olathe; Supt. B. A. Kinsley, Miss Anna Carlson, Lindsborg; and Prin cipal W. S. Hobb, Chapman. The res olutions have been amended and ap proved by the board of directors of the association and are said to repre sent, in a general way, the thought of the members of the association on leg islative subjects. t TAKEDYES FROM KELP V S, Color Concern Will Employ New German Process, Is Keport.

Glenn Boley was thrown from his motorcycle Sunday afternoo.i at the intersection of Seventeenth street and Central Park avenue narrowly escap ing death at the same place where his brother, Ralph Boley, was killed in a street car-buggy collision September 11.

CASTOR I A For Infants and Children In Use For Over 30 Years Always bears the Signature of TRAlLlfOIS WIFE Wealthy Topekan in Auto Hants Missing Woman. Mrs. Eva Stock Was Seen at Junction City. LEFT TOPEKA SEPTEMBER 14 Joseph Stock in Salina on Tenth Day of Trip. Fear of an Operation Drove Woman From Her Home. Salina, Kan.. Sept. 25. Fear of the surgeon's knife and possible return to the state hospital for the insane, is believed to be responsible for the dis appearance of Mrs. Eva Stock, wife of a wealthy farmer living three miles north of Topeka. Joseph Stock, "her husband, was in Salina looking for his wife, who left Topeka a week ago last Thursday, for this city. She was seen in junction City and told DeoDle in the hotel there that she was coming on to Salina. Mr. Stock arrived in a motor car on the tenth day of a continuous search for his wife. "Mrs. Stock left Topeka the morning of September 14, at 10:43 o'clock," he said today, "and had only S14. She had been 111. for some time and had been treated in a private sanitarium and in the state hospital at Topeka. Surgeons told her that another operation would be necessary before her recovery was complete and I believe that dread of the operation was what made her leave, home." Started to Grocery Store. Mrs. Stock told her daughter that she was going to a nearby grocery store to do some sljopping and would be gone about an Hour, wnen sne aia not return the search was started. At Junction City the cashier in the sta tion eating house saw Mrs. Stock Thursday afternoon and in a conver sation the woman said she was com ing to Salina. Police officers are look ing for her here today. She Is forty-five years old, wears a large ring set with two diamonds, and a plain band ring, black hat and has brown eyes. Mr. Stock believes that she is likely to stay at a cheap hotel or a private rooming house, or to ap ply for work as a domestic. This is the fifth mysterious disap pearance reported here in the last two weeks, Ohpha Hinkle, the 17-year-old Salina girl who was missing for two weeks, was located by Sheriff Ander son in Kansas City. Albert Pierce, 21-year-old business college student, Wil ber Smith, who disappeared after te inri married a day, and an aged Colo rado man who is believed to have been here, are still missing. A taxicab driver in Salina told Mr. Stock that he was sure he had seen Mrs.- Stock in Salina, after having looked at the woman's picture. Mrs. Stock left her home here Thursday, September 14, after telling her daughter she was going to the grocery store. She came to Topeka from the farm, left her horse standing and left on a Union Pacific train. Her disappearance was reported to the po lice, ocid it was ascertained that she bought a ticket to Junction City at which place she was seen one day last week. All efforts to find her have proven futile. BERNSTORFPS RETURN German Ambassador and Wife Back In Washington For Winter. Washington, Sept. 25. Count von Bernstorff, the German ambassador, accompanied by the Countess von Bernstorff, has returned to Washing ton and re-opened the German em bassy for the winter. Members of the embassy staff preceded them, trans ferring: the office of the embassy from Rye, N. Y. The Countess von Bernstorff left Washington before the war started to spend a short time with her son who is an officer in the German army. She was unwilling to risk the dangers of sailing after German shipping was tied up by the war and only recently felt it safe to return to this country. It is unlikely that the countess will take an active part socially in Wash ington this coming season since the war has placed the diplomatic set in rivalry and created such embarrass ments that the diplomatic circle has done little entertaining and has at tended nothing but informal affairs.

YELLOW FEVER DATA Rockefeller Commission Back From Chasing Germs on S.A. Coast. New York, Sept.. 25. The yellow fever commission of the Rockefeller foundation arrived here today on the steamship Brazos from San Juan after a two months' study of sanitary conditions along the west coast of South America. The commission, it was said, by Maj. Gen. William C. Gorgas, surgeon general of the United States army and chairman of the commission, will remain Irere only long enough to obtain accommodations on the next steamer leaving for the South American east coast. Altho Major General Gorgas de clined to discuss the result of the in vestigation so far conducted, it was learned from other members of the commission that much interesting data had been collected. Among the countries visited were Chile, Peru,, Bolivia, Ecuador and Panama. BOMB IN M0VIESH0W Chicago Police Blame Rival Unions For Theaf x plosion. Chicago, Sept. 25. The explosion of what is believed to have been a timed and shrapnel filled bomb in the rear of a moving picture theater here early today broke scores of plate glass windows, shook buildings for blocks around and badly damaged the show house at which the bomb was directed. The police attribute the use of the bomb to rivalry between different moving picture operators' unions.

U EMBER: Associated Press. Audit Bureau of Circulations. American Newspaper Publisher Association. Once in a while the weather in Kansas is appropriate for the occasion or season. Fall was ushered In with a decided fall in temperature, such a fall, in fact, that active little Mr. Mercury fell in the thermometers to within three degrees of the lowest temperature record for the date that has been established in these parts in thirty years. If the wealth of the United States has increased forty billions of dollars during the past two years, as Mr. Hamlin, a member and former gover nor of the federal reserve board de clares that it has. it is going to take some little time for American tourists to return this sum to Europe, whose war has probably been responsible for producing most of this increased wealth In this country, as soon as the opportunity presents itself for them to resume their traveling and sight-seeing in that direction. Among the more thrilling of the must terrible sights of the European war must be the battles fought in the air between the aeroplanists of the rival armies. A recent report from Berlin told of no less than fifty-six distinct air battles having been fought In one day over the fighting zone about the Somme. Carranza's military chiefs are re luctant to risk a chase after the ap parently irrepressible Villa, and Car ranza long ago set down his foot against the American expedition In Mexico continuing its endeavors along this line, so Mexico's chief bandit and his gang of maurauders will probably continue to come and go as they please In northern Mexico and as soon as they consider themselves strong enough and sufficiently well-equipped with arms and ammunition, they'll probably take another whack at some town on the American Bide of the border. It would be no more than reason able to assume that General Trevino should be better informed as to what happened at Chihuahua during the recent Villa raid there than should General Bell. General Trevino was on the scene, while General Bell was many miles away in El Faso, and had to get his information of the Chihua hua incident second-hand. But then the reputation for veracity of all classes and stripes of military leaders ts not as good as it might be. Paris that leads in so many human endeavors appears to be sadly behind the times in the matter of moving pic tures. This is indicated by a news item from the French capital which told of the court acquittal of a six teen year old boy because he had been led to crime by the demoralizing in fluences of moving pictures of the bandit" variety. Such photoplays evidently belong to the days that are (one in the movie world in this coun try. At least they are not shown to any extent in these parts nowadays. But. then, this may be due to the activity of the censors. There are probably lots of things being depicted on the -ovie screens even in this coun try of which the people of Kansas do not even dream. TOO MUCH GOLD. It is not likely that Sweden's ex ample will be followed in this country to put a check upon the importation of 'dd or upon Its finding its way Into the reserve of the banks, says .The Annalist, and it continues: We are far from needing all of the gol! which we have been getting from abroad. It would be highly desirable to impound a large part of this gold where It would not swell bank reserves and so would not supply the basis of present credit. That was done to a small extent by New Tork banks, but -they easily fell victim to the tempta tlon to bring this gold into use when, a little over two months ago, the money market developed a temporary stringency. Money in this country Is fiot too dear. On the contrary, it is too cheap. Foreign borrowers who supply upon the occasion of avery loan an amount of gold equal to or in excess of reserve required against the credits which the loan creates are making It easy for them to borrow and keeping the way open for further loans In the future. They are. how ever, depriving the economic situation In this country of the wholesome re straint which would be exerted by these great foreign loans were we called upon to finance them with our own gold resources. No doubt wo needed to regain the gold which was drained from the country In the years preceding the outbreak of the war and in the months immediately follow ing. We are not in need of steadily increasing our gold holdings at the cost of gold inflation, exposing us, as that would, to violent dislocations in time to come. A SOUTH AMERICAN WAR. Neva from Buenos Aires to the ef fect that conditions in South America are much the same as they were in Europe before the great -ar is cer tainly not conducive to hopes that t-ie ending of the European struggle may mean an end to war3 on this earth and the establishment of a permanent world peace. It Is said that there are intense rivalries among many of the nations in Latin-American land, that several of them are sorely peeved at each other over boundary disputes, com mercial competition and so on and so forth; and that it wouldn't take much of a spark to start a conflagration of general war In the great continent to the south of us. Of course, such a war could not possibly assume anything like the pioi irtiona of the present conflict in Europe. The people of So Amer ica, in the first place, are fractional in numbers compared with those of Europe. Nor have any of them the resources in hand either to prepare for or to wage an imitation of the war that is being fought out in such protracted fashion across the Atlantic. A general South American war would be likely to develop into some thing that might possibly be com pared with the warfare that has been weged between the several factions of Mexico for so long. But it would set the hands of the South American clock of progress tack many, many years and would place a blight on the development of many of the nations, that have been expanding so rapidly in so many ways of late years, from which it would take them a long time to re cover. However, there Is probably consid erable of the imaginative in the sug gestions from Buenos Aires that a general South American war may be just around the corner. They do not fit m very well with the pulling together of these nations In so many ways and thru the me dium of the Pan-American Union. But suppose such a war should come in the near or even distant future? Would It, or would It not be the duty of these United States to in tervene eventually and perhaps sup press by force of arms the fighting that might be going on, and with the same force of arms restore and main tain a righteous peace over the whole great territory? If so. the United States would have Job in prospect that would make our present duty to Mexico look like the proverbial 30 cents. FOLLY OF FEAR AND WORRY. A Japanese parable tells o a man who Is cruelly tortured by a demon. Not understanding the injustice of his frightful punishment, because he feels he has never done anything to merit it, the man calls on the demon to ex plain why he Is so persecuted. The de mon replies, "Thou has created me and fashioned me to be such as I am. My nature is such as thou hast given me. Blame then thyself for thy suf fering." Tnls is the introductory for some sensible suggestions for every body that are presented by Orison Sweet Marden in the Pictorial Review for October, as follows: "We ourselves fashion from our thought the hideous demons of fear, of worry, of unhappiness in some form, which tortures us and frequently wrecks our lives. "Fear and worry have wrought more destruction in human lives than all the wars that have devastated the world since the birth of the race. No one can estimate the havoc these happiness-killers, these efficiency-destroyers, continue to play in our lives! They chill the heart, whiten the hair, wrinkle the face, and take the elas ticity out of the step; they blight am bition, kill courage, strangle hope, and leave us wrecks of our former selves. They are the fatal enemies of every- things for which human beings strive health, power, success and happiness. They are among the most unfortunate heritages of the race, for e are born into an atmosphere of fear and worry. We come into the world stamped with anxiety, marked with fear, and a dread of the unknown. "For thousands of years it was thought that the terrible power which caused the thunder and lightning, the tornado, was some great enemy of man, an angry god who hurled his thunderbolts to earth. And the wrath of the angry god of the thunder and lightning, of the tornado, must be pro pitiated even' by the sacrifice of hu man life. The fearful storms at sea, the typhoons which wrecked ships, were outbursts of the wrath of the great sea god, Neptune. The eclipses of the sun and the moon indicated the displeasure of other gods and mul titudes 3t human beings were sacri- ficed in all sorts of cruel ways to ap pease these terrible powers which were supposed to rule men's destinies. ''The gradual elimination of these crude forms of fear has been one of the most Interesting things in the de velopment of the race. Knowledge has swept aside the terrors of the un known, end when we are sufficiently advanced to realize that our God is a God of Love, and that love is law, order, harmony, all the fear brood will disappear. "Unfortunately, multitudes of peo ple are otill held down by some form of our primitive heritage. The per petual presence of fear stunts their growth, strangles their normal expres sion and warps their development. Fear is stamped upon their brains from childhood. Hew many mothers ignorantly try to force their children to go to sleep by frightening them. telling them that if they don't go right to sleep a great big bear will come and eat them up and so on. How much sleep would a grown per son get In a situation which seemed as real to him as such a picture suggest ed by its mother is to the child? Yet the majority of ps.rer.ts continue to people the darkness with iJl sorts of cruel monsters in order to f ighten children into obedience. If they only knew how injuriously a child's, physi cal and mental development Is af fected by such a brutal syirtem of ter rorization they cculd not, would not. be so cruel. The lives of many chil dren, especially those who "ire sensi tive, are sadly marred, if not com pletely ruined by it. A great medical authority says that at least 80 per cent of morbid children could have been saved from their defect hy the application of common sense prin ciples of scientific and physiological hygiene In which the main factor is suggestion inspired by wholesome courage." JJQUJl&MAL EMOTES The average man's income is not so consequential to him as is his outgo. A few of the tempers that are so quickly lost are just as readily re gained. Walls may have ears, but how for tunate it i for most folk that anid wails can not repeat what they hear. a Life's discouragements are many but only a few of them are so serious that they can not be brushed aside. Hoping for better things at least keeps one's mind on them, and that is likely to help some in acquiring them. -JAY1AWISE1& JI0T& And why not have a flag on every school house? is a most pertinent query from the Ottawa Herald. It Is all right to profit by your mis takes. If possible, advises the Iola Register, but, sagely adds the Regis ter, don't make that your regular business. Maybe you can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear. but the Lebanon Times tells of a Roxbury man who turned a wagon-load of hogs into an automobile; that Is, he bought a Ford with the money he received for said wagon-load of hogs. Any one who has been putting off dying in Abilene can go ahead now, advises Clad Thompson in the Kan sas Notes column of the Kansas City Stai. Mr. Thompson notes that the road to the cemetery has been com pleted and the Abilene Reflector urges it to be used as much as pos sible so as to pack it down. Related by the Osage City Public Opinion: "I see that old Fogy has failed in business," remarked the Grouch. "How did it happen?" "Too much advertising," replied the Wise Guy. "But he never advertised," protest ed the Grouch. "No, but his competitors did," re plied the Wise Guy. GLOBE SHTS From the Atchison Globe. No married man feels like paying admission to a lecture. A lot of foolishness is charged to the account of business. What has become of the old-fashioned orator who pounded the table? First sharks appeal to a commun ity's pride and then grab its pocket book. The chilly fall weather doesn't bring melancholy days for the hay fever pa tients. If it is the other fellow's head that aches you are against taking any thing for it. There are just as good fish in the lake, but It does seem that some folks have all the luck. The open season for ducks and the closed season for show-thru chickens come together. It is much easier to start a panic than it is to stop it, but panics differ from gossip in other respects. With all Solomon's wisdom, he probably didn't look as wise as some of the bush league detectives try to look. A breach of promise suit is based on the theory that the defendant has the money; otherwise, there would be more of them. POINTED PARAGRAPHS. From the Chicago News. When duty calls deafness becomes epidemic. Some wirepullers are telegraph line men and some are politicians. Fortunate is the man whose tastes are similar to those of his cook. Round after round is the way the pugilist ascends the ladder of fame. A jeweler says pearls are like wom en they require a lot of attention. When there's a right way and a wrong way, the average man goes wrong. Talk is cheap, but lifc other cheap things it i apt to prove expensive in the end. A woman never fails to boast of her intuition every time she makes a good guess. 71 OH SPTO OF THE MOMENT BT ROT BL. 1IOI7X.TO!. See Lillian Sasaell. When I waa young and In my prime.

"I shall have to ask you for A ticket for that boy, ma'am," "I think not." "He's too old to travel free. He oc cupies a whole seat and the cars are crowded. There are people standing up." "That's all right." "I haven't time to argue the matter, ma'am. You'll have to pay for that boy." "I never paid for him yet, and I'm not going to begin now." "You'll pay for that boy, ma'am, or I'll put him off the train. "That's all right. You put him off if you think that's the way to get any thing out of me.'' "You ought to know the rules of this line, ma'am. How old is that boy "I don't know; I never saw him be fore. If you want a ticket for him, you'd better ask that old gentleman on the seat. He got on at the last station with him." Uncle Abner. Anybody who sympathizes with the Turks In their war and wants to sac rifice his life to help 'em kin do so by smoking Turkish cigarets. Bud Hicks of our town has been accused of every crime in the calen dar, but there must be some good In him, for he has never been caught wearing a red necktie.

Two things are necessary if a fel ler wants to die rich. One is to make a lot of money and the other Is to hang onto it. A Few Accident. The Coopersville Observer says: "Bill Mutton came near being killed Friday while shaving a sheeD on his ranch. Just as he had about finished the sheep gave a sudden jerk, pulling the wool over Bill s eyes and pre venting him from seeing a streak of lghtmng that was headed his direc tion at a two-forty gait. Bill reckons he would have been killed outright if nis wire nadn t seen his danger from the woodshed window and ran out to where he was. kicking him aside Just as tne ngntning turned the last corner. While feeding his mule Mondav Abe Cornflake got a severe pain in hie right siae. Looking to nnd out where the pain came from, he discovered that the mule had kicked him, landing both hooks above the vest pocket. Abe swears hereafter he will always look Derore he reels the pain." Such Is lite. "Every time I see you. you're load ed down with bundles. Are you run ning a private parcel post?" nometning line that. You see. we're living in the country now. and it's up to me to bring home fresh ern ana vegetaDies rrom the city." TALES BT ROTH CAM1BON. Iollt Cowards. Politeness is an indispensable thine. It oils the machinery of daily living. Our constant contact with each other would bring friction far more often than it does if it were not for the oil or politeness. And yet there are times when do- uieness maKes cowards of us all. I went to a new stenographer the other day. When I had finished my dictatin; and came to pay the bill, she over charged me. Her flat rate was a dol lar an hour. I nad dictated an hour ana a quarter. bhe charged me dollar and a half. I asked why and she said. "WpI when we work hard and accomplish a gooa aeai we usually charge more. kjti, yes: said i, like a polite cow ard, I see." I didn't see at all, not in tne sense or being satisfied. "Come again," said she. "Thank you," I heard myself say again a polite coward, "I will." I didn't mean either of those state ments. What I should have said if I hadn't been inhibited by the cowardice of politeness was: First, I don t think you accom plished such a great deal. You didn't accomplish any more than several other stenographers I've had and not so much as my best one." Second, "No, I shall not come again. I can't afford it. I can get just as good work done elsewhere for a fair rate." Now, wouldn't it have been fairer and squarer and franker and health ier all round to have told her why? Wouldn't it have been better for my soul and hers? There is such a thing as too muc irsnicness. rome people are so con stantly giving other people a piece of their minds that you wonder if they can have any left. But there is also such a thing as keeping your mind too much to your self, being too complaisant. People who are too complaisant en- courage injustice and overbearing ways in others. They grow cowardly and mealy mouthed. And quite frequently they store up an unhealthy accumulation of resentment in their hearts because they don't give their feelings the vent of occasional plain speaking. Incidentally I have often noticed that the people who treat outsiders in this complaisant way are likely to take it out in too much plain speak ing to their housemates. That, of course, is true to type. For the coward is usually a bully, when he dares to be. (Copyright by George Matthew Adams.) LINES. (To a portrait of a lady on a hotel wall).

EVENHHG STTQRT The Man and the Miracle. (By Allison Burr.) 'Nell, I've invited Wilbur Kirk and his mother for the week end." Mrs. Ames gave her niece a eidewise glance. Yes, Aunt Lucy," answered Nell, without enthusiasm. "We'll be going back to town week after next, and I wanted to have them so you could meet Mrs. Kirk Informal ly here. "Dear Aunt Lucy, I wish I could make you see how Impossible it is for me to like Wilbur Kirk in the way you want me to like him. "And I wish I could make you see that he is far superior to any young man who has paid you marked atten tion since you came out last fall." 'But, Auntie, even if I saw all the superiority that you seem to see in him. It would make no difference. It will be something more human than such superiority that will win my heart. "I suppose you've got some roman tic notions about 'cavemen' or some such nonsense." "Not at all, auntie. I like men who are modern and well groomed. but who make no special parade either of their mental, moral or physical super iority, and that lets out Wilbur and the cavemen, too." Nell s brown eyes brightened mischievously. "And some day I'll present you a nice nephew built along those lines. So don t you worry." Mrs. Ames shook her well-waved and tightly-netted gray head as Nell, daintily pretty in a white gown and a floppy, rose-wreathed hat, started down the boardwalk toward the post- office with a handful of letters to mall. As Nell came out of the little frame postoffice she caught the tinkling sound of Hawaiian stringed instru ments playing a lilting melody that was soothing to her restless mood. Following the sound, ehe went down the boardwalk and found that the musicians were stationed in the cen ter of a large refreshment pavilion which she often patronized. So many other people had been at tracted by the music that nearly all the tables in the place were filled, but the bustling manager found Nell a small table over near a corner of the pavilion where she had a glimpse of the water front. With the menu card her hand 'She sat for a moment dreamily listening to the music and watching the frothy little white caps follow one after another to the water's edge. She was thinking that some where there was just such a man as she had pictured to her aunt, and she was wondering when and where Rhe should meet that man. She had quite forgotten about ordering anything until she became conscious that a man had paused expectantly beside her table. Without looking up she gave a care less glance at the menu card, and asked: "Do you still serve that deli cious peach miracle?" I beg your pardon," said a man's full-toned voice, and, looking up, she saw, not a waiter as she had expected, but a much-tanned young gentleman in a blue serge suit that covered a well-proportioned figure six feet in height. It was Nell's turn to beg par don now. and she did it in a state of very pretty embarrassment. "This wpms to be the only seat left," said the young man, indicating the vacant chair at Nell's small table. "Have you any objection to my oc cupying it?" 'Not at all,'' said Nell, and she be gan studiously to scan the menu card. The hurryrng waiters passed easily back and forth among the crowded tables, but one of them with a tray of ices held flat in his upturned hand, looked over his shoulder to catch an order called out by an impatient patron Just as he rounded a corner, and the next instant his tray struck the shoulders of the waiter who was lean ing forward to take Nell's order. A ball of well-frozen pink ice cream tumbled from the tray and went roll ing across the table straight for Nell's lap. When it was on the very edge of the table and Nell and the waiter were watching it in wide-eyed helplessness the surnburned hand of the tall young man opposite shot across the table and grabbed It so firmly that it be came a flattened mass of pink mushi ness. While the penitent waiters re placed the cloth and provided a fingerbowl Nell and the young man laid aside reserve and laughed lightly about the awkward incident. "A moment ago I asked you whether you served miracle," said Nell, "but you've made it very evident now that you can even stop a miracle already in progress." "Is that pink stuff 'peach miracle?' he asked. "Yes. Did it look the part?" "I can't say; it's my first experience with miracles, and I had no idea I cojld get on with them so well." He was saying to himself that Nell herself was a member of the miracle tribe, and his eyes gave out so much of his thoughts that Nell was glad the waiter reappeared then to finish taking her interrupted order. She decided afterward that silence would be more embarrassing than conversation, so. as they ate their ices, they chatted and enjoyed the music together. "That music certainly strikes my ear pleasantly," said the young man. "for I've been four months in a mining camp where a metallic grapho phone grinding out ragtime was the only thing that even pretended to be music." Immediately Nell attributed the sun burn to the outdoor life of a mining engineer and drew a pleasing mental picture of the young man opposite in corduroy and puttees. And, as other women have done, she had jumped to the right conclusion. "Of course one would miss much In such a life," she said, "yet it must be heavenly to miss many of the compli cations of a more formal life I mean the things that are little." "You're right about that!" His eves flashed responsively. "My aunt, who CAN'T issP' Us3 5 tffitS'' kindly assumed charge of me when my parents died, was disappointed that I didn't take to one of the learned pro fessions. Maybe it's my tendency to be little that makes me want to dodge the little bickerings and irritating de tails of a complex life, but I've found out this; if a fellow can't grnw big in an outdoor life he hasn't the capacity for bigness." Nell was sure now that she had met the man of her dreams and she could have wept because her ice cream was all gone and she had no further excjse for lemaining. as the musicians were silent for the moment. "You shouldn't even think the word 'maybe' when speaking of a man who surmounts miracles." She smiled as she said this and the man smiled back, but back of both smiles was a yearn ing look that told of regret that the time for parting had com?. WV'en they rose from the table Nell extended her hand to the young man as a gentle way of saying that their acquaintance was at an end. "I shall not forget your coming to my rescue," she said sweetly. "And I shall not forget you." he said. Her eyes fell before the v.istful ness in his and she withdrew her hand and left the place without either of them speaking another word. When she reached her aunt's cot tage. Mrs. Ames was enthusiastic over a telephone call just received from Wilbur Kirk saying that he and his mother would motor out that evening instead of waiting until baturday morning. Nell couldn't even manage a polite interest in Wilbur Kirk now, and thruout the dinner hour and the two hours that followed, when they sat on the front porch awaiting their guests, she was so silent that Mrs. Ames finally gase up trying to carry on a conversation with her. Nell, looking at the moonlight on the water, was dreamily going over in her mind every glance of the eyes and every tone of the voice that had come to her that afternoon from the young man who seemed the embodiment of her ideal. "There they are!" exclaimed Mrs. Ames delightedly, as a car drew up at the curb. "I'm afraid we're dreadfully late," said Mrs. Kirk, when they were all inside the drawing room, "but we stopped at the hotel for a little visit with my nephew. Jack Ainslee, who is just in from South America. Jack in sisted upon being a mining engineer instead of a minister or lawyer, as I wanted him to be, and when I see his fine physique and his tremendous manliness I'm glad he had his way about it. By the way. Mrs. Ames, I've asked him to call tomorrow." "So glad you did." raid Mrs. Ames effusively, and Wilbur wondered why- Nell turned suddenly to the window just then and gazed outside. He would have wondered even more if he had heard her ecstatically murmuring something about "another miracle." (Copyright, 1916, by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) DINNER STORIES Julia rushed to her mother one day in a most excited frame of mind: "Oh, mother, we've had the best time! We've been playing postman, and we gave every lady on the block a letter." "But. dear, where did you get the letters "Why, we found them in your trunk in the garret all tied up with blue rib bon!" "If the phone rings this morning." said the mistress to her new Swedish maid, "just say I'm out." A few minutes later the phone rang. Olga stopped her sweeping. "Ay bane out." she said distinctly, and went on with her sweeping, leav ing the phone unanswered. "You're a fine bunch." said the vale dictorian to his classmates after he had finished his speech. "What's the matter now?" asked one of them. "Have we done anything to hurt your feelings?" "Yes. vou have." was the indignant replv. "When I stood up there de livering that speech that I've been working on for the past six weeks you lobsters didn't pay any more at tention to me than if I'd been one of the professors."

Washington, Sept. 2 5. Anxious to have as little to do with Japan as pos sible in any way. China is making- spe cial efforts to Kive her former Japan ese trade to the United States. Even now in Washington, the bureau of for eign and domestic commerce and rep resentatives of China unofficial, it Is true are working to the same end. So far as the Chinese are concerned, the move is guarded with secrecy. The huge empire is unwilling openly to an tagonize Nippon, at whose hands she has already suffered. But the sending of Chinese repre sentatives to this country this summer to negotiate for a resumption of American trade has been followed up consistently. In the spring of 1915 Chint.se ship pers boycotted i 11 Japanese goods and vessels. Chinese trade leaped to Amer ican shippers. In September, 1915. the American consul at Hong Kong reprrted that American, goods and American shipping concerns were leading all other nations in business done in Chinese markets. American trade decreased with the revolutions in China in the autumn of 1915. The British blockade had a marked effect, too. Conditions grew worse. When Tuan Shi Kal died. American trade in China was nil. But China's doors are opening wider and wider for this country now. The Pacific Mail Steamship company's purchase of three vessels for trans Pacific trade is looked on with great est optimism by the department of commerce. 40c to $4.00 per pair, See these lenses in ou The our win- Money Refunded If Not Satisfied IN NORTHjnPEKA "I'll Come Fixed," Is "Dutch" Goggins' Challenge.

From the time the president arrived fieer at 1:38 p. m. he was was accord ed a tremendous reception. The Streets were lined with people and fongr before the hour arrived for his ppearance, thoussands were jammed n front of the theater. Demonstration Five Minutes. The demonstration which marked the president's arrival at the theater lasted nearly five minutes. The peo ple stood and cheered and waved handkerchiefs. Amid thunderous applause the president declared one of his chief ob jects had been to se$ that nothing was done to interfere with the friendly relations between the United tSates and Latin-America, President Wilson upheld his tariff palicy, defended the federal reserve act and the shipping biil and declared that if its business is propertly con ducted America has an unexcelled fu ture before it. "I want to see America seek not to exclude but to excel," said the presi dent in discussing American trade. He poke In support of the tariff commis sion created by the last congress. Politic Interferes With Progress. Mr. Wilson declared at the outset that a political campaign seriously in terfered with the consideration jf public questions. He said he desired his audience to forget for the time being that a campaign was on. "What I have come to say," he said, "I want to say in an atmosphere of calmness. "I want to speak to you of the busi ness of the world from the standpoint of America." He said that the export of grain from the United States was decreas ing in ratio, adding that the agricul ture acreage of the United States should produce at least twice as much grain as at present. "We have swung out into a new business are in America," continued the president. "Now our business has extended to the whole world. Our trade has burst its jacket.

The president, speaking slowly, turned to a discussion of banking sys stem of the United States, tjiovernment Doesn't Harass Business. "Only in very recent years," he said, "have we even studied the question. Not until the present federal reserve act was passed did American bankers have proper facilities for carrying on foreign business. "Not only when this war is over but now America must take her stand in American business on a scale she has never known before." "A few years ago American business men took up their newspapers with a degree of nervousness to se what the government was doing to them, he continued. "Now they have no ner vousness. There is no contest between proper business and the government. We are creating instrumentality thru which a thoro investigation can be made of every phase of American business,' the president declared. H was interrupted frequently by hanrlclapping. "Business must be founded on truth," he said. "We must have co operation. We must have co-operation between all." As a step in this direction he advocated a law to allow American exporters to utlize common Belling agencies abroad. "My interest in American affairs," he said, "i. to do my utmost in re leasing the intelligence of America for the service of mankind." No men tion was made of the eight-hour legis lation.

TOPEKA IS DOOMED In 20 Years Fair City Will Resemble Rome, Censor Foster Says. Minus the saving grace of a moving picture censorship, with presumably himself as chief watchdog, Topeka will follow in the footsteps of ancient Rome and sink to her depths of de gradation and vice. That was the prediction made by Rev. Festus Foster in a sermon delivered last night at the First M. E. church on "Morality and the Moving Picture Censorship." In fact, the Rev. Festering fixed a time limit for Topeka to make the descent minus the censorship. He mentioned twenty years as the period for uncensored Tcpeka to be indulging in gladiatorial combats, and other Roman revelry. Showing the "deadly grip" of the movies on the country was his asser tion that 52,500 Topekans attend the picture shows whereas only 7,500 turn out for church and Sunday ochooi An army of 15,000,000 attend after noonly and nightly the picture houses of the United States. The Rev. Foster also took the op portunity to hand a bouquet to his pat ron Ross and a jolt to Lizzie Wooster in his statement that "the Kansas City exchanges are backing a woman can didate to defeat Superintendent Ross because the latter insists on enforcing the law to the letter." "It is up to the Christian people of the community to interest themselves in the fight," he told his audience. "The movie interests are going to do everything in their power to repeal the law. Failing that in they they are going to eliminate the preacher from the board. "Now I know what kind of pictures to choose for. Kansas people,' Foster modestly announced. "I have lived in Kansas City, Wichita, on a farm, and in all parts of The sLate. I know what kinds of people Kansas people are and I know what kind of pictures to allow them to see.

Charged With Murder of Baker, Alleged Bootlegger. OFFERED TO DISMISS CASE Justice Expresses Regret Over Issuance of a Warrant. Undersheriff and Attorneys In sist on Jury Trial. At his own request, Hugh Larimer, undersheriff, waived preliminary hear ing and was bound over to the district court today by J. J. Messinger, a jus tice In Berryton, following the issu ance of a warrant, which friends and other county officials say is a political frame-up, Saturday evening by the iustice. The warrant, charging the murder of James Baker, alleged boot- legger, was granted by Justice Messin ger after it had been refused by the attorney general, the county attorney and a coroner's jury had exonerated Larimer and held the killing purely accidental. Baker had beep arrested and was trying to escape. The warrant for Larimer was not brought to Topeka and served on him. He went to Berryton today with friends and attorneys and appeared in the justice court. J. J. Schenck and Major A. -M. Harvey, are his attorneys. When they appeared before Justice Messinger the latter expressed regret that the warrant had been issued. "It certainly would not have been issued," he said, "had I even known a coroner's jury had exonerated Mr. Larimer. I want to impress upon at torneys and Mr. Larimer that if I had known the attorney general's office and the county attorney had refused the warrant, 1 would not have issued it. If I had the thing to do over again it would not be issued by me. It was my impression that I had to issue the warrant when the complaint was made.' Larimer's attorneys asked the pre liminary hearing be waived, and pro duced a written waiver. The request was granted. Demand Early Trial. "We will demand an immediate trial," J. J. Schenck said after the short legal procedure. "We are going to ask that the case be heard in the district court just as soon as possible before a jury." In Berryton today Justice Mes singer -said that if attorneys for the defendant would ask a dismissal of the case he would grant it. "We want Larimer proven not guitty before the public," Schenck said today. "Had we obtained a dismissal there would have bet n nothing in the way of the persons prosecuting the case from going to another justice and starting new case. The killing of Baker occurred on the afternoon of unday. August 1 3. Lari mer had arrested him for selling li quor. He broke away and ran to es cape. Larimer fired several shots in the air. At the last shot he stumbled and fell. Harvey Parsons, chief of police who wiLiiessed the shooting said it was accidental. It occurred two miles southeast of Topeka. Sheriff Kiene charged today that the reattempted prosecution of his un dersheriff was a matter of politics alone. Kiene accompanied Larimer to Berryton. W. E. Atchison, as eountv attorney, represented the state. Insist on Trial. Larimer said that he would insist that the case be tried completely out. ianmer produced signed bond for sa.uuu at Berryton. It was signed by three Democrats and three Re publicans. The bondsmen are Thom as Page, Republican: S. E. Cobb, Re publican: L. M. Penwell, Democrat: H. C. Lindsay, Democrat: Scott Hop kins, Republican, and J. F. Switzer, Democrat. The warrant which the justice is sued for Larimer was sworn to before Baker s mother. In addition to holding that Baker's death was accidental the coroner's jury which sat for the hearing the day after the arlair said in its ver dict: "We further find that said Larimer at the time said revolver was dis charged was attempting to prevent the escape of a prisoner then under arrest and in his custody as undersheriff as was his duty to do. That in the dis charge of such duty he acted as a dili gent and prudent officer and that the shooting of said Baker was accidental and unintentional and unavoidable." HIS POCKETS BULGED Suspicious Officer Discovers Whisky on "Petty" Flanagan. Pockets in the clothes worn by "Petty" Flanagan, who the sheriffs force claim is Joe Donahue, bulged too much to suit Joe Holman. deputy sheriff, Sunday. Flanagan, or Donahue, is a white man.

That little word "damn" is worrying many ol the leaders in the Protestant Epis copal church. They do not exactly advocate rewriting the Bible but they want the "soft pedal" put on 'he word. Because of this the special commis sion on revision of the prayer book. which will report next month at the triennial convention of the commun ion in St. Louis will recommend that wherever "damn" occurs in the book of common prayer, it be changed to read "coi.demn." This includes also scripture itself when It is quoted in the liturgical services. There is also an effort being mads on the part of some to change in th word "hell" where it occurs in the prayers, scriptural selections and dec larations of faitlT to read instead "the place of departed spirits."

Augustin Alba, plain clothes man, started out afoot for Second and Kansas avenue resolved to carry the negro to jail, if transportation couldn t be obtained. There he found his fellow officers still struggling with Brown whom they finally overpowered. Then the patrol came and Brown was booked in the station for disorderly conduct and re sisting an officer.

SAVAGES END 191 6 SEASON WITH WIN AND CIRCUS Many Players Start for Home Today; Engle Goes to Cleveland First. With the 1916 Western league season all over, quite a few of the Savage playeis had already hit the rattlers for their respec tive homes today and by tonight practically all of them planned to get out of town. The season was officially brought to a close Sunday afternoon with the doubleheader which was split between the two teams, the Savages taking the first game by the count of 4 to 3, and the Indians the second by something like 14 to 9. The first game was a clean, well played contest and Manager Kngle s men earned their victory by knocking the props from under "Pep.ier" Clark in the seventh inning when they got five safe hits in a row and made them count for four runs In every other inning 'Pepper" held the Savages countless and was very stingy with hits, allowing only three. Second Game Circus. The second game was, as wind-ups usually are. everything but a ball game. Indications pointed to a breaking of all precedents when the batteries were announced and with (irover and Dashrer on the mound the fans were looking for a closing duel that would be worth seeing. But i Dashner blew to the sky in the first Inning, permitting six hits, two of which were home runs, and from then on it was "horse play" with every horse trying to act like a donkey. Agler relieved Dashner on the mound and pitched until it was ap parent that the game would last all winter if he 'were left to face the fir ing line. Saffel finished after Agler vacated. Allen tried his hand behind the bat, on first and second; Good win took a turn at first sacking and pbout every other player got into a "niche where he didn't belong. Engle cam in and played short, Devore took third, Lindimore and DeFate went to the outfield and everybody booted everything. Sioux Stunts Many. Not to be outdone, the Indians played around all o- er and pulled every kind of a stunt they could think of Pome one bought a box of stogies and they all smoked while at play, both at bat and in the field. Cooney took a chair out with him and played second base while sitting in it, and then when he got too lazy to do this he went out in right field and stretched out on the grass. Base runners cut the bases at every opportunity, LeJeune stopped between second and third to manicure his nails and was caught flat-footed, Monroe fed licorice to the animals and every body had a. grand farewell time everybody except "Sapho" Saffe!, who continued to take the game seriously land did his best to the very last, thereby pr ovine that he is a steady, conscientious youth and that he does not believe in tejling fish stories at Sunday school. Trophies Presented. During the intermission between games, his honor, the mayor, put the cream" on the afternoon's pudding by making a speech to the spectators and "presenting the Peterson Gift Shop tro 'phies to the players to whom they were awarded The' gold bat, offered j'ato the player who had rendered the greatest service to the team during the whole season was given to the Hon. Josephus Agler. The gold ball. Intended for the most serviceable pitcher on the staff, was given to Hall. Immediately after the second game, five of the Sioux City players left for their homes, and the only members of the Indian aggregation to return to Sioux Citv were Secretary Hunter 'SPECKS' MEADOWS HAS AN UNUSUAL MOUND RECORD The unofficial pitching records of the National league show that "Lee Meadows, the sT.-ectacled twirler of the St. Louis Cardinals, has started something like 50 games this sea son and that in 30 of them he had to be jerked off the hill. Meadows nrohablv has established a record in this respect. In suite of his dis- -1 position to go badly before the end of the allotted nine innings Mead ows has near an even break in point of effectiveness outranks a number of pitchers more highly regarded. Minute BT"CLUO and Gaspar, Cooney, LeJeune, Dou gan, Grover, Gilmore, Metz and Clark. Engle to Cleveland. Manager Engle, of the Savagee, is still in Topeka. He plans to leave as soon as possible for Cleveland, where he will probably stay until the world's series cities are definitely known. Considering the attendance of the last two weeks, the crowd at the cur tain dropper wae larger than might have been expected. The first sec tion of the bleachers was comfortably filled and in all there were about 1,500 out to see the windup. First Game. siorx citv.

ALL OVER NOW DEHN ON SQUAD Ichabod Stock Booms When Old Guard Suits Up Again. Stewart's Kicking Toe Round ing Into Shape Rapidly, With Dehn, the varsity guard of last year, back on the field in Satur day afternoon's practice Washburn's stock moved a few points more to wards par. Dehn was one of the reasons why the freshmen in scrimmage against the varsity could make no progress at all. Benton and Dehn, guards, and "Fat" Wilson, tackle, smashed thru the yearling line at will, breaking up play after play. And in the backfield Champeny and McCosh showed their ability to pick holes. "Hank" Sul livan, in the scrimmage as halfback for a time, showed up well in hia new position. Tlays Down Pat. The varsity had what plays the coach has given it down pat in Satur day's practice. Everything showed up well with the exception of the forward pass plays, which if they are to be one of Washburn's pet reliances, will require a great deal of practice. In practice Stewart booted some beautiful punts, averaging around fifty yards. There was oodles of pep running around uncaptured and how ever some of the individual stars show it is evident Old Man Washburn spirt, prominent in many of the Icha bod victories of aforetime, will be one of the mainstays of the team during the 1916 season.

Noodles andNuggats I?. Dug from the Dope Pot f g -v 1 J. A. Onstott, of Salina, played some remarkable golf in the Country club tour nament until he reached the finals in the first flight and was pitted against Harlow Hurley. Then he petered. Is there no golfer in the state who can win from Topeka's state champion? No matter what kind of form other players show in the preliminaries, when they get to the final test, that of matching skill with Hurley, they seem to lose everything. On the other hand. Hurley never ap pears to extend himself until towards the end of the play. Then he spurts and cops with ease. Arthur Bonebrake probably played Hurley as close a match as any Kansau has this season in the semi-finals Saturday morning, but it would have takeu phenomenal golf to have beaten the title holder on the last eight holes. There are some who claim that the Hur ley temierainent always puts his opponents under a handicap, but it is more likely that his superior experience, his greater knowledge or the game and the confidence in himself that his years of good golf have given him are the things that keep him just ahead of the envious throng. The first football game of the sen son in Kansas was played at Lost Springs Satur day and Hope went down in uefeat by the score of ;t2 to 0. The first Kansas conference game .will be played tomorrow between Cooper and Southwestern. At the Western league meeting to be held in Lincoln on October 3. the club owners of the Zehrung loop are likely to take some action that will be of vast in terest to the fans both in Topeka and other cities of the circuit. That pome radical steps will be taken is only natural after a season as disastrous as the present one has been. Joe Afrler was given the gold ht for being the most valuable player on the Savage team this season. But from the standpoint of John Savage. Otis Lambeth was probably the most valuable in doilars and cents. Ilalph Lathrop covered himself with con siderable glory in the final wind up In the first game he twice robbed Metz of three base hits, once going up on the right field fence to get one that was almost im possible. Ievore stated Sunday afternoon that MeUraw had promised to give him another chance in the big show if he finished the season with a batting average of .:jo. And he certainly did his best to boost the fig ures in the final games, in the first he got one out of three times up. a triple that cored three of the Savage runs. In the HOPES TO LEG0RE Yale men are greatly relieved that Harry Legore is with the squad and eligible for football. It will be re membered that Legore was removed from the team in the middle of the 1915 season because it was discover ed that he had violated Yale's rules regarding summer baseball. His loss broke up the backfield, and there was fear that he would not be allowed to return to the game this fall. But now that he is back he gives Yale a splendid kicker, one who can drop and place kick as well as punt, an. expert in the use of the forward pass and a handy man for all other de partments of play. It is now rt ported that Braden, the wonderful end who was ineligible last year, will be shifted to the backfield this fall. The oaches have visions of him starring as a halfback. He ought to be a good running mate for Legore. Tad Jones, the new coach, is de voting most of his spare time to the discovery or development of a quar terback. Jones was one of Yale's greatest quarterbacks himself some eight years ago, and he knows the importance of the position. What he wants is a man who can play the position well and who is a leader. Yale hasn't had such a man for some time, and at the end of two weeks of preliminary practice ha isn't yet in sight. Van Nostrand, who was the final selection for this position last year, is still available, but apparently Jones wants to improve on him. second game he got two singles out of four attempts. Umpire Kane who finished the season here has the honor of having been the only Indicator man In the league to work straight thru without a single layoff. Also, he has handled more games than any other man in the league. Before leaving Topeka, Secretary Hunt er, of the Sioux club, stated that he would not be surprised to see many changes in the league next season and that be had a hunch Peoria, 111., would own one of the franchises at the opening. He did not say whether or not he expected the Illinois town to take over the Wolves. FOOD FOR FANS (BY GEORGR F. PHAIR.) IConyiighLl The White Sox are the most versatile gang in baseball. They can make you weep and then they can make you smile before the tears have dried on your cheeks.

AS FATAS A TUB Jim Coffroth Says Willard Will Sever Fight Again. Champion Weighs More Than 300 Pounds All Blubber. BY FRANK G. MEXRE. New York, Sept. 25. Jim Coffroth drifted in from the Pacific coast the other afternoon and discoursed a bit on Jess Willard. "I saw the champion just before I left Los Angeles." said the former fight promoter. "He was in Jim Jef fries' cafe. Willard looked as if he weighed over 300 pounds. Whew! but he was tubby! I don't think he'll ever fight again. "Why not?" Well, Willard isn't keen about fighting in the first place. He got into the game only because it offered a chance to become wealthy. He's got his wad now so why should he do any more fighting? In the second place. I don't think Jess ever again can get into real shape for a first-class scrap. He's too bulky. The fat that he car ries now isn't the kind that can be shed by strenuous workouts. It's the fat that age puts on and which noth ing takes away. "Training for a fight is ten times harder on a man than the fight itself. It's a grind. It is a tiresome routine. And Jess Willard isn't keen about that. He went thru so much of it earlier that I guess he doesn't want any more of it. From what I hear. Jess wasn't any too keen about fighting Moran. Not that he was afraid of the Pitts burger, because I don't think Willard is afraid of any living man. But he hated the thoughts of training. How ever, the big purse offer influenced him in favor of the fight. Couldn't Train Down. "Jess is so big and fat now that it would take months to trim off even a little of the surplus. I don't think he could scale down much under 300 even with the most strenuous training. At least, that's the way he sized up in my opinion when I saw him, and I think my long experience with fight ers qualifies me to pass an opinion as to whether a fighter can reduce or cannot." Coffroth advanced the opinion that the days of big purses are about over. "The promoters have tired of doing all the gambling and the public shows signs of revolting against being the perpetual goat." he said. "The de mands of the fighters have advanced steadily for several years. The crest was reached in the Willard-Moran af fair. I don't think any fighters ever again will be guaranteed as much money for a ten round no-decision bout as that pair got. Nor do I think that any fighters will ever get guaran tees approaching that sum. "Earlier, the public wasn't averse to being gouged for big sums for seats. It figured that it would get its money's worth. But most of the recent big fights have been fiascos. The public has been fleeced. Many of the most ardent fight fans have taken the 'nev er again' vow when it comes to star bouts at which big admission prices prevail. Percentage Age Here. "Knowing this, the promoters will refuse in future to take the long chances they have in the past. Very soon will come an era where the fight ers, champions as well as dubs, will have to work exclusively on a per centage basis and take a gamble with the promoter." Touching on the fight game out on the coast, the erstwhile promoter said: "The folks out there still nourish the hope that decision bouts will be permitted again. Just now the fans must content themselves with four round exhibitions. These affairs are a sort of Mecca for the fighters of the old school: the boys who have grown a bit old and weary and who can not stand the. gaff over a long route. Four rounds isn't much of a jaunt for the old-timers who still have a bit of skill, and I look for fellows like "Philadel phia Jack' O'Brien and the others to take a jaunt out there and pick up some soft money." Coffroth has gone into the racing game. He is operating the Fia Juana track, just across the border from San Diego, Cal.

THF TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL -MONDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 25, 1916 9 BIG ATHLETIC DAY Waslilmrn Football Field a Busy Place Saturday. College, H. S. and Grade School Boys All Out. Washburn field was a busy place Saturday. Several events were pulled off that were not scheduled, but nev ertheless very interesting and instruc tive. Before 9 o'clock the small school boys, full of energy and pep following the first long, week of compulsory at tendance at school arrived at the field headgeared and armored for the fray. A little later Coach Bears and his husky high school lads fully equipped and anxious for the fray put in an ap pearance. These two groups occupied :he field for the forenoon. The first event staged was the kids' game. Headed by Coach Kennedy's son "Bud." 9 years of age, the fourth grade boys of Central Park school numbered a squad of fully twenty plavers. Their opponents, the repre sentatives of the same grade from College Hill school, only could muster seven, but their leader refused to put in ringers and faced the Central Park eleven with his small but well chosen players. With a foreboding of what might he in store for his small play mates the captain prudently remark ed. "We are not here to beat, but to nave some fun." Too Many Men. And fun it surely was. Coach Ken nedy refereed the game, and the gath ering of high school boys acted as spectators and rooters and general ad visors. In the first place it was some job for the twenty Central Park boys to contract their players to the re quired numbers, especially as the auth ority of captain had not been estab lished. However, one future Wash burn prospect dresses in the latest and most accepted style of football toggery, and doubtless assuming authority for that very r?ason chose his line-up and the era v" was on. College Hill had no such trouble. Their seven "men" could not even comply with the rules. Rut a little more organization and the fewer numbers seemed to help in that it kept down internal dissension and marie the contest an even one. During the first half of about twen ty minutes, time not being tnken out for delay, neither side could score nltho once Central Pnrk tool" the ball bv end runs and tackle bucks to the 5 -yard line. But poor judgment in calling plays tr:iv the curtailed eleven from College Hill their chance and they responded by making a goal line stand anil taking the ball on downs frc m their benun.bered opponents. The Second Half. I;i the second half each side received some recruits. It was surprising ho'-' many bir; boys of twelve and thirteen vears of ae were willing to he de moted ar d take up the burdens of the fourth oracle. Neither side seemed much disturbed by eligibility rules. Yet it must be said to the credit of the small siiuad from College Hill th-t they pinned their fiith to their orig inal s-'ven. and fought a game fight. In the closing moments of the sec ond half Centr il Park scored a touch down but missed goal and the game was called to permit the big boys to "Who's the new guy over there?" ,ou ne tips you a wink and a le remark, "Oh, sonie new hick the doss picked up. Give him a look. He's full of speed, but then they're all like that t first. His vest fits well around the knees, doesn't It?"

Pler..-( RIGHT H 5 use the field. "Who beat," said the little colored quarterback of College Hill. "They did," said his red-headed halfback compatriot, "but we sure made them fight." The high school boys worked for two hours under the direction of Coach Bearg with Coach Kennedy making, feveral suggestions. And in the afternoon freshman and varsity candidates gathered to the number of about forty and indulged in a light scrimmage. But the Fourth Graders from the public schools sure pulled oft the big event of the day. CHASE UNION ORGANIZER Tennessee Miners Object to Work of Western Federation Agent. Copper Hills, Tenn., Sept. 25. Min ers and citizens, incensed because rep resentatives of the Western Federation of Miners attempted to organize min ers employed in the copper and iron ore mines here, seized Guy E. Miller of Denver, Colo., organizer for the Western federation of Miners, drove him to the outskirts of town, whipped him and ordered him to leave. The mob was composed of 200 men and boys. J. A. Jones, Miller's assistant, was dragged from bed in a local hotel, marched before a crowd on the streets and made to swear he would leave town on the first train. Many of the miners are members of the United Mine Workers of America and are op posed to the activities of the Western Federation. 10 Per Cent Raise for 2,000. Paterson, X. J., Sept. 2 5. Five hundred workers m the Dolphin jute mills will participate in a voluntary increase of 10 per cent of wages granted by the firm Saturday. The granting of this increase simultane- ously with one announced at the same1 time by the Barbour Flax Spinning company provides higher wages fori nearly 2,000 mill workers of this city. "WHO'S THE ask of your chum in the offli UUKNhY R G SI CHESS WW A .1X1? -W (C I 25-rf U V2ileS Mrs. IievlU and A. J. McNeal Won in Scotch Foursome Match. The mixed Scotch foursome event, the final playing feature of the Coun try club golf tournament Saturday, was one of the most Interesting parts of the big tournametit and wac partic ipated in by eleven couples, being won by A. J. McNeal and Mrs. Levitt after ahot contest with Mr. and Mrs. E. A. Tirrill. At the end pf the nine holes both couples had scores of 49, but in the play ofr McNeal and Mrs. Levitt won. The prizes were a handbag donated by Pelletiers and a pair of gentleman's gloves given by A. J. McNeal. The other couples participating in the play were: Mr. and Mrs. Hunger, Gov. and Mrs. Capper, Mr. and Mrs. McKe?ver, Mrs. Humphreys and C. G. Gaut, Mrs. Gaut and John Waters, Mr. and Mrs. Bullis, Mrs. Ross and "Kid" Nochols, of Kansas City. According to officials of the Coun try club, the tournament was one of the most successful ever held, and the interest shown by out-of-town piayers presages a record attendance at the next state tournament which will be held in Topeka. 2 MILLION SINCE FEB. Germans Estimated to Have I.ost Half Million at Verdun. Paris, Sept. 2 5. An unofficial esti mate published here of the Austro German losses from February of this year to the end of summer place the number at two millions. Of these TOO. 000 were estimated to have been suffered on the .eastern front; 500,000 at Verdun; 400.000 on the Italian front and 400,000 on the Somme. NEW GUY?" But if you are wise you won't notice whether the new man's clothes fit well or not, but you will notice how he does his work. For, perchance, he will discover some way to do his work quicker and better, and some day he may be boss. So, instead of laughing at him, with the rest of the bunch, use him as a pacemaker and don't let him get ahead of you. II. c.

To look one's best and feel one's best tS to enjoy an Inside bath each morn ing to flunh from the system the pre vious day's waste, sour fermentations and poisonous toxins before it is ab sorbed into the blood. Just as coal, when it burns, leaves behind a certain amount of incombustible material in the form of ashes, so the food and drink taken each day leave in the ali mentary organs a certain amount of indistible material, which if not eliminated, form toxins and poisons which are then sucked into the blood through the very ducts which a.re in tended to suck in only nourishment to sustain the body. If you want to nee the glow of healthy bloom in your cheeks, to see your skin get clearer and clearer, you are told to drink every morning upon arising, a glass of hot water with a teaspoonfui of limestone phosphate in it, which is a hamless means of wash ing the waste material and toxins from the stomach. liver, kidneys and bowels, thus cleansing, sweetening and purifying the entire alimentary tract, before putting more food into the stomach. Men and women with sallow skins, liver spots, pimples or pallid com plexion, also those who wake up with a coated tongue, bad taste, nasty breath, others who are bothered with headaches, bilious spells, acid stomach or constipation should begin this phos phated hot water drinking and are assured of very pronounced results in one or two weeks. A quarter pound of limestone phos phate costs very little at the drug store but is sufficient to demonstrate that Just as soap and hot water cleanses, purifies and freshens the skin on the outside, so hot 'water and limestone phophate act on the inside organs. We must always consider that internal sanitation is vastly more important than outside cleanliness, because the Fkin pores do not absorb imnurities into the blood, while the bowel pores do.-8 Advertisement.

Race Suicide Is Unknown Among Families in Topeka. POOR SHOWING M COUNTRY Ratio of 140 to 229 in Favor of the "Grim Reaper." Average Age of Burial Was 45 Years During August. If you aro less than twenty years old you have eleven chances out of sixty ei'.t to die; thirteen chances if you are less than thirty, and your chances are a? good one way as the other ii you are less than forty-five years old. All that, according to death records kent bv Citv Clerk Covell for the first eisht months of this year. Incident ally, the records also show that race suicide is unknown in the city of To peka and Soldier. Mission. Jlenoken, Tecumseh and Topeka townships. The records show that in the first eight months of this year there were 729 deaths. In the same time there were SIS births. Many out of town persons have died in !ocal hospitals. The average age of those dying in August was fcrty-five years. Out of sixty-eight deaths there were eleven less than twenty years old and thirteen less than thirty years old. In the city alone, exclusive of the rural townships, there were 673 births and 500 deaths. In the rural townships there were 140 births and 229 deaths. Kurullsls Have an Alibi. Despite the figures. City Clerk Covell does not believe there is such a thing as race suicide in the rural townphips. A large number of births, where the parents live in the coun try, it is pointed out, were in city hospitals and therefore were listed on the city report. City Clerk Covell be lieves that the number is large enough to offset the difference between the number of deaths over the number of births1 listed for the rural townships. Since the city clerk began keeping death records in 1911 the deaths of five centenarians have been recorded. They were: Patrick McAloon, 102 years old. Mary Jordan, 100 years old. Henry Grant, 104 years old. Robert Stanes, 106 years old. Jane Stansfield, 101 years old. Scores of deaths are recorded at the ages of between 60 and 90. Infant deaths are few.

August Sob ba, a son of Nicholas Sobba, a wealthy farmer living four miles northwest of this city was suddenly killed at the farm by a bolt of lightning. Young Sobba had been working in the field when the storm came up. He unhitch ed from the drill and hitching his mules to his wagon started for the house. His father seeing him start from the field went to the barn to open the gate. He heard a crash but thought little of it until he looked out from the barn and saw the mules run ning away with the wagon. He soon caught them and saw his son lying prostrate in the wagon. He phoned to neighbors for help and to Pratt to Lirs. Patterson and Gregoire. These two physicians hurriedly loaded their pulmotor into their auto and in eight minutes from the time they re ceived the call the pulmotor was work ing on the young man. The pul motor was of no avail as the bolt hit the young man squarely upon the head and orobably killed him instantly. The Sobbas are well known over this part of the country.'

SQUARE DEAL PLEA Topekan in Speech Before Atlantic City Convention. A plea for a "square deal' for Amer ican railroads is contained in the ad dress of G. W. Gibbons, foreman painter for the Santa Fe in Topeka, and vice president of the Master Car and Locomotive Painters' association. in the convention of the association in session In Atlantic City last week. Mr. Gibbons quotes the following from the State Journal and comments: 'Osborne. Kan., March 4, 1916. On account of poor facilities for trans portation in t:ie past, rarmers Irora other sectior s of the state have fought shy of Osborne county. Since work has started on the Salina-Nortncrn the land business of this country has taken a jump. Eight of the largest farms have been sola recently ana many more pales are pending. One of the largest deals made was the sale of farms by Layton Brothers to sev eral Osborne county men for nearly $35,000 cash. This is more than $60 per acre. (Note the writer under stands that a few years ago land in Osborne county sold for $10 an acre.) "Covert, Kan., March 8, 1916. This inland town in Osborne county has a show of getting the Salina-Xorthern railroad before the close of 191j. From 1885 to 1890 the town had sev eral live business houses including a newspaper. When the Union Pacific built their line from Salina to Lincoln, Plainsville and other towns started up and Covert went back. Since work commenced or. the Salinr-forthern, Covert has awakened. Her people have pledged the promoters and build ers all they asked. Recently a $25,000 school building has been completed and a charter for a bank has been ap plied for and they stand ready to build an elevator and put up a lumber yard." (Xote The Salina-Xorthern built thirty-six miles of track in 1915. In spite of the increased mileage and the natural growth of the business of the country, 104,374 men were de prived of the positions that they had on the railroad in 1907. In spite of the great saving this appears to be on its face for the railroads, at the close of the year 1915, there were 20,143 miles of railroads in the hands of re ceivers, as against 317 at the close of year 1907, and yet. during this per iod of depression upon railroads, our country has been blessed with good crops, the foreign wars have created an unusual demand for the products of our farms, mines and factories, prices have soared and the expense of operation has increased. The rail roads have used up all their available material, their equipment and track has been worked to the limit and must be renewed if the business of the country is to be handled properly. How many towns and counties in our country are lying dormant or go ing back because of the lack of con fidence of men with capital in the fu ture ability of the railroads to pay a reasonable return on the investment. Let us hope that out of the chaos that has brought,the railroads of our country to the verge of financial dis aster, there will be an evolution that will place them on a firmer business basis and that the people will have a better and clearer appreciation of their work. That we are justified in this hope is evidenced by the fact that the interstate commerce commission after hearing evidence from all inter ested parties and carefully studying the situation from all angles, has giv en the railroads an increased rate on freight and passenger business. The immediate response of the weakened pulse of the business of the country to this stimulant ought to show the most obtuse politicians that the rail roads serve the same function to the business body of our country as the arteries and veins do to the human body and if they become diseased or congested by lack of proper nourish ment, the entire physical condition of the body itself is weakened.

Postmaster, Head Booster, Con- fident Oil Is There; Kincaid, Kan., Sept. 25. When the first big oil well is "brought in" in this vicinity it will be named the "Bis Lizard," according to the verdict of the populace here today. Every man, women and child here is confident that the Kincaid oil boom is not over. They had planned to name the well brought in a week ago the "Big Liz ard, but the w-jll didn't turn out as well as the promoters wanted it to. and so they are saving the name. ine name Big Lizard has a his tory, a part of it very, very new, and the rest of it very, very old. The part oC the history that is new, centers around a man who Kincaid people say is their biggest booster, the man who jumped astride oil possibilities and whooped it up until the drillers began work: and will continue to whoop t up until a well big enough to name the "Big Lizard is "brought in." s This man is Samr S. Irwin, postmas. ter, school trustee and "the biggest booster Kincaid's got." Irwin will talk about anything that boosts Kin caid and will squelch anything that knocks Kincaid. Maybe this last s one of the reasons why knockers are so hard to find in this city. ine part of the history or the name that is very, very old dates back to the time when Anderson was the head of a big bay reaching in from a great ocean, when the Gulf of Mexico reached up into Kansas, and great sea monsters with huffe bags of oil pock eted in their insides, inhabited those waters. Oil IYom Big Green TJzard. Irwin is a self made geologist ami he likes to talk about earth formation, pre-historic plant and animal life. He'll talk to anyone that will listen to him, and most folk like to listen to him, too. W hat makes you think there's oil in these 'ere parts?" an Anderson county farmer wanted to know of Irwin when it was announced that the drillers would soon begin work. "Well, its this way," Irwin told the farmer. "Millions and millions of years ago when Kincaid's site was at the head of the Gulf of Mexico, a giant lizard a green one with hun dreds of barrels of oil stored up in It, died and was washed near shore. Hundreds of feet of earth have been washed over that dead lizard. We are going down after that oil now." Gosh, is that so? wondered the farmer. Irwin solemnly crossed his fingers and declared it was quite true. And that is why ever since Sam Irwin, Kincaid's biggest booster, has been called "Big Lizard Sam" and also why Kincaid's first real oil well .ill be named The Big Lizard. VALUES FAMILY AT $60,000.

PRATT TO HAVE CITV PARK. Woman Deeds Tract of Land to Town Will Make Improvements. Pratt. Kan., Sept. 25. Mrs. F. M. Zerger has deeded the tract of ground located on Thompson street, between First and Second streets, to the city of Pratt, to be used as a park. The grant is a half block wide and one block long. This highly desirable plot of ground for a park for children Is within three blocks of the business section of town and is so situated that a few hundred dollars expended in improvements will place it in splendid condition. There are already plenty of large shades trees. The soil may easily be sown to grass, with every prospect for a good stand. With a little attention, this tract may be transformed into a beau ty spot, where children's gatherings may be held.' A few benches and lights and very little grading will place the tract in shape for use. Permanent im provements will be made in due time. MISSING GIRL IS LOCATED. Orpha Hinkle, Salina, Is Working for Kansas City Phone Company. Salina, Kan., Sept. 25. Orpha Hin kle, the 17-year-old Salina girl who has been missing since September 3, has been located. Sheriff August Anderson announced that she is in Kansas City. Mo., living at the Westminster, a Presbyterian school for girls, and working for the Home Telephone company. It has been learned definitely that Miss Hinkle left home of her own ac cord and that no one was responsible for her disappearance, as her mother so greatly feared. She is well taken care of and for the present at least her parents will not insist on her return ing home. The mystery of the suitcase she was carrying has also been cleared up. She had saved money for months, bought a suit case and left it with a friend on South Seventh street, where she took her clothes and did her packing before leaving. She told the woman in whom sherconfided that she was going to her grandmother's. DICK SEASON IX NAME ONLY. Birds Pass Tp Dickinson County on Account or water snortage. Abilene, Kan., Sept. 25. Hunters were growling here today about a j "safe and sane 1916 duck hunting season." "The calendar is the only visible sign," said one, "that the season to hunt ducks has opened. Otherwise no one would notice it." According to the hunters there are a few ducks, but even these are hard to find because there are no ponds. "Ducks don't light in trees like owls or sparrows, and hence the few thai come this way, either pass us up or we can't find them," one hunter opin ed. "Now and then there is a pond with a little water in it, but they are far apart and the water is mighty little." This vear the game is to see who can get the first duck of the season. not who can get the most birds on tna opening day. as in other years when water and ducks were plentiful. DENTISTS TO MANHATTAN.

A French mis sionary visited the Western Penn sylvania wilderness in 1627 and was told that the crude petroleum thus obtained was good foi rheu matism and skin diseases. Used internally, the Indians declared, it killed a serpent that lived in he intestines and caused ab dominal pains. Today the twentieth century physician prescribes mineral oil as the safest, most rational treatment for constipation. Nujol is the modern version of the Indian specific. It is not a laxative or a purgative. Its action is to soften the intestinal contents and so make natural movements easy.
