While trying to escape two racing automobiles at noon today twelve-year-old Jesse Weaverling was struck by a Hudson Super-Six driven by J. H. Johnson at Sixth and Western avenues and fatally injured. His death is ex pected momentarily at St. Francis hospital. The accident happened at a time when there were many persons in that vicinity and at least half a dozen told the police they saw it. Without hesi- j tation they declared that the cars were j recins some stating that they believ- j ed the Johnson machine was traveling I at a speed of fifty miles an hour. I The little boy was on his way home i from school. His home was at 518 j Western avenue, less than a half block I north of the place where he was struck. His parents are Mr. and Mrs. j t;eorge Weaverling. Miss Mattie Payne was going home to lunch and said she i saw the accident. j "I saw the boy coming north across the street." she said, "and at the i same time I saw two big cars coming i rapi'lly from the east. I noticed him look at the oncoming cars and start running towards the north curb. "I was frightened and I may be mistaken, but it appeared to me that one car struck him and the other dressed him at least twenty feet. I l understand other people say the car did not drag him. I think it did." Cars Were Racing? The car driven by Johnson is new. The other car, a comparatively new I'aige, belonging to the I'alace garage on West Sixth avenue, was driven by tiolden lieeker. There is not a mark on ihe Johnson car to indicate that it struck the boy. On the left rear wheel of the I'aige car there is a sprinkle of Wood. According to witnesses the two cars came over the hill east of Western avenue together, the I'aige car next to the car tracks and the Hudson next to the north curbing. The tracks, still visible after the accident, show that the 1'aite car was turned to the street car tracks while the Hudson was pull ed in against the curb. r Skidded 50 Yards. About twenrv ft nraa .-.r n,- line of Western avenue the boy was struck. Whatever it was that struck I him tore away the right side of his i face and forehead. His brain was ex- posed and even before he could be j carr.ed to a residence a great quantity i ui 1.1....U accumulated upon the brick Paving. The speed with which the Hudson was traveling Is indicated to some ex tent ly the fact that tracks show the r'-.n wheels skidded for fifty yards sfter the brakes were applied. The distance was stepped off by members of the police force immediately after the accident. One peculiar thing, not explained by witnesses, is the fact that the pool of blood where the boy lay was at least ten feet from the nearest automobile tracks. J. R. Johnson did not denv that his car struck the hoy. He ste pped per haps half a block west of the accident and remained until the police came. Hki did deny racing. Not Hactng, Says Keeker. Golden Becker, driver of the Paige ear. lenied that he hit the boy or that his car dragged him. He s.lso denied that he was racing. "As I drove over the top of the hill crest," he said, "the other car came up behind me like a rocket. I was driving probably twenty-five miles an hour for I was in a hurry to get back t. the garage. I kept up with the other car hut I was not racing and didn't suppose the other driver was. I am certain of one thing, and that is that mv car did not strike the boy." "How do you explain the blood on that rear wheel?" was asked. That I "nly Wheel. "Well," he said, "my car passed within three feet of him and I sup pose ;t flew on the wheel as I went past." Dr. C. R. Silverthorne was on the ground a few minutes after the acci dent and examined the boy. Even at that time the child was taking only an occasional breath. His little body was stretched out upon bed clothing hastily thrown upon the floor with a coarse bandage around his head, placed there as an emergency meas ure. Mother Collupsetl The boy'i mother was notified and ran screaming across the street She took one look nt the torn and broker, body of her boy and collapsed. It was necessary for two men to half carry her back to her home. A great crowd collected and before a phvsician rnvect crow-flea ;n and out of the lit ti room Women were crvine and men were silent. Outside there was much very strong talk about speeding autorr.obilists. When the gray ambulance backed up to the curbing and the little body was carried out. not a word was said by the 200 or mere people gathered. Many of th;m had -;cen the boy alive and well less than ton minutes before. Saw the Car Strike Him. Miss Laura McGivern, ,ho lives at 505 Western avenue and who is a cousin of the boy, saw the accident from a distance of a block. She did not know it was her own cousin but sny she saw the boy dodging the cars and saw the Hudson car strike' him Jcse Weaverling came to Topeka with his mother from Omaha less than two weeks ago. His father is em ployed by the Topeka Milling company and has been here two months. Be- "Ministers Study God Too Much, Humans Too Little." CHURCHES MUST CHANGE Seeks Xew Application of Christianity to Economics. In Former Venture Rev. Tan ner Became a Machinist. Denver, Oct. 30. Rev. ..-llan Tan ner, prominent Denver churchman, has resigned as past ,r of the First Congregational church and People's Tabernacle to don overalls and study economic and social problems at close range In the industrial centers of the east. "The church," declared Rev. Tan ner, "either must get back on a hu man plane, or get out of business. It must cease teaching technical Chris tianity and teach the law of love the fundamental idea of all religion. Min isters study God too much and human beings too little. Will Study Church, Too. "I especially desire to study the teachings of Christianity as applied to industrial conditions. And I shall study the church to find out what changes specifically are needed to meet the so cial conditions we must face after the war." This is the Rev. Tanner's second venture in "working" Christianity. He went to work in a machine shop in Toledo, Ohio, several years ago and became skilled enough to join the union. He was a close friend of "Golden Rule" Jones, and preached the funeral sermon of Toledo's mayor. TR00PERS HURT! Four Members Kansas Regi ment Injured in Wreck.

WONT FUSS ABOUT IT Italians Occupy Greece Province to Aid Allies Advance. London, Oct. 30. The Italian min ister to Greece in audience with King Constantine, has explained that the Italian occupation of northern Epirus does not change the situation there as affecting the status of Epirus as this will be decided in peace in conference after the war, says a dispatch from Athens. The minister informed the king that Italians had replaced the Greek sol diers in Epirus in order to protect the left wing of the entente army. fore moving to Omaha, perhaps a year ago, they lived in Topeka, at 519 Lime street. Johnson and Becker, the two driv ers, were very calm after the accident. Johnson obtained the names of sev eral persons- who saw it. He wrote them down with a steady hand. Beck er went home to lunch immediately after the accident and officers found him there. They were both instructed by police officials to appear at the court house at once. They will be subjected to an inquisition by the county attorney. West Sixth avenue has been the local speedway for a long time and people who gathered after the accident in sisted that some action be taken to stop speeding. A dozen or more of them spoke to different police offi cials about it. Doy Xear Death.

New York, Oct. 30. At the opening today of a sizzling home stretch of the political campaign, both sides claimed victory November 7. Today found Hughes paying his second visit to the Ohio battleground while President Wilson prepared to leave tomorrow for Buffalo and then swing into the metropolis Thursday. The most important over-Sunday developments were Hughes's issuance of "My Conception of the Presidency;" and ex-Assistant Secretary Brecken ridge's denial of Senator Lodge's claims that Wilson added a tame post script to the Lusitania note but with drew under threat of cabinet resigna tions. Hughes's statement promised a "foreign policy that stands courteously but firmly for American rights: a cabinet picked from the nation's ablest men; an executive responsible to the whole nation; a flag protecting Americans in their lawful pursuits; preparation for post-war conditions; creation of a protection for American workers in the matter of trade com petition: a domestic policy tending to ward sound, permanent prosperity and industrial and a government super vision of business, eliminating abuses." Wagers Vary to Odds on Wilson. The Breckenridge denial of quota tions credited to him as to a Lusi tania postscript called any one thus quoting him a "scoundred."

The candidate entered the final campaign week supremely confident of the outcome of November 7.

Falkenhayn's army has been thrown back more than three miles by the Rumanians in a battle north of Campolung, said a Petrograd dispatch today. The battle is continuing.

At nearly every point on the Transylvanian border the Austro-German invasion seems to have been lock ed. The latest official statements from Vienna and Berlin announced some further progress, but apparently bear out Bucharest claims that Falken hayn's offensive has been stopped at least temporarily.

S. Consul in London Reports. London, Oct. 30. 4:30 p. m. A pri vate telegram Teceived at the Amer ican consulate this afternoon from Crook Haven, says that a number of Americans were drowned when th British steamship Marina was tor pedoed by a German submarine. Washington, Oct 30. Destruction of the British horse transport Marina by a German submarine without warn ing with possible loss of American lives and the endangering of the lives of seven American citizens in the sub marine attack on the British freighter Rowanmore, reported from Queens town today by American Consul Frost, contain possibilities of reviving the submarine issue between the United States and Germany. Investigation, officials realize, may disclose that there has been no viola tion of German pledges to the United States. Nevertheless the first reports, in complete and transmitted by the American consul as "provisional." caused some uneasiness The report on the destruction of the Marina refers to the ship as a "Brit ish horse transport." If it turns out that she was in fact in the transport service of the British government it ma:' be found that the mixed crew of British and American horse tender- could claim none of the immunity aKtili'si attack without warning that attaches to a merchant ship. Consul Investigating-. Orders were dispatched at once to rather all information to determine the status of the Marina and her crew. A tho no American lives were lost in the submarine attack on the Row- ar.moie and the ship altered her own status if she made an attempt to es cape, officials were disturbed by the report that the boats were shelled aft er they had cleared from the abandon ed ship The facts are expected to be determined by Investigation which was ordered begun at once. The state department issued this summary of Consul Frost's dispatch: "The British horse transport Marina with a mixed crew of British and Americans was reported sunk without warning by German submarine gunfire at 3 p. m..

There were fifty Americans on the British steam ship Marina, reported torpedoed with out warning in today's dispatches from London, when she sailed from New port News.

Local agents for the owner of the Ma rina said cable advices reported th vessel leaving Glasgow for Newport News, on October 25. in ballsst. Sunk Without Warning. Washington. Oct. 30. Dispatches to the state department say the Marina when sunk had a mixed crew of Brit ish and Americans and that she was sunk by gunfire without warning. Consul Frost at Queenstown speci fied that the information he transmit ted was "prov-sional."

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL MONDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 29, 1916 HORWAYIS ANGRY Great Public Resentment Has Endangered Her Neutrality. f German Submarines Cost Coun i try More Than 170 Ships. THEY ALL LOOK TO AMERICA JSo Fear of Wholesale Torpedo ing Along Our Coast. Newspapers Call the Recent Acts of Germans "Piracy." CTirtetUnia. Oct. 30. Xever before during the war has the Norwegian press so unanimously expressed the re entment aroused in Norway by the in fh r.prman submarine warfare. The Orebladet calls it piracy and says it is the general opinion that German war against mercantile ships im directed especially against Norway, adding: "It is a fact that this continual tor pedoinc of Norwegian ships deprives Germany of friends in Norway." Th Tidens TegnuJ says bitterness has been provoked everywhere in Norway by the destroying of Norwe gian property and lives of Norwegian sailors in the Arctic ocean, and ve hemently urges the government to do something to protect property and lives. The Verdens Gang asserts Germany has substituted for international law and old recognized ethical principles the principle of power as the basis of Its warfare, recognizing no other ntandard of morals than what Its own interests dictate. Secret AgentH. Other papers say the German gov ernment's secret agents who report the sailings of Norwegian ships are tol erated everywhere and treated in friendly manner, while such agents have been expelled from Holland, and that when Norwegian press corre spondents attempt to keep ship offi cers and ship owners posted as to -where German submarines are lying in wait off the coast the censorship suppresses their telegrams lest they might be or use to enemies or Ger many. The Shipping and Mercantile Oa aette says that Just before the new submarine warfare was inaugurated agents of the German government ap peared in its editorial oft ice and threatened the paper and the country because of alleged unfriendly feelings towards Germany. Representatives in Norway of German newspapers, sent to Germany an interview with a 'prominent' Norwegian diplomat who is quoted as having admitted that Ger many is right in its conduct of sub marine warfare against Norwegian ships. The interview was anonymous and is being denounced by the entire NorweHian press as fictitious. People Excited. Public opinion in Norway at present is greatly, excited and the popular feeling toward Germany is far from friendly. Ship owners have derided not to permit their vessels to sail to Rus sian ports in the Arctic and the war insurance company will take no risks on ships or cargoes with such destina tion. The Aftenposten says Norway does not so much fear German submarine warfare near the American coast as it must be supposed the United States is better prepared than are the small neutral nations to prevent wholesale torpedoing of neutral ships. The Ger man submarine warfare thus far has cost Norway 171 ships with a total tonnage of 235.00 and the lives of 140 Norwegian sailors. jEL VALLE IS EVACUATED Carranza Garrison, 45 Miles From 1 American Mnfs, lieu-eats.

Proclaimed Successor to Mikado Engagement Announced. Tokio, Japan, Oct. 30. Crown Prince Hirohito, 15 years old, was to day, his father's birthday, officially proclaimed. His engagement to Miss Asako Ichijo is soon to be announced. Tokio, Oct. 2. (By main For the first time in the history of Japan there is but one available candidate for the hand of the crown prince. She is Miss Asako Ichijo, 14. Her betrothal to the prince will be announced soon after he is proclaimed. The marriage will be delayed several years. Miss Asako, or Miss Morning, as it would be in Knglish, will become the bride of the emperor-to-be by virtue of a peculiar set of circumstances. She is without opposition for the place despite the tradition that permits the selection of the emperor-to-be from any of five historical families, descen dants of the ancient house of Fuji wara. In former decades the members of the five families acted as courtiers or regents to the emperor. They are rtill known as the "go sekke" (five re gents). The "go sekke" are the fam ilies of Konoye, Takatsukasa, Kujo, Nijo and Ichijo. Th circumstances which give Miss Asako the clear path for the Imperial palace are: The present head of tne K.onoye family. Prince Fuminaro has no daughter; in the Takatsukasa family there is no daughter of age to make her available: from the Kujo family came the present Empress Sadako, blood relationship eliminates her fam ily and the Nijo family Is on the fin ancial rocks, the present head.

A Berlin dispatch says that the German emperor has sent Lieut. Gen. Adolf Wild von Hoh enborn, the Prussian minister of war, to take command of an army corps on the western front and that the em peror has appointed as Prussian min ister of war and state lieutenant, Gen eral von Stein. The change it is stat ed, is due to the desire that the min ister of war who must decided mili tary measures at home should have a thoro experience in the increasing wants of the army in the field. Gen. von Stein was appointed to the command of the Fourteenth reserve army corps in September, 1914, after having served as quartermaster gen eral. As late as two months ago he was in command of troops in the Somme sector of the German front in France apparently in the vicinity of Thiepval. Gen. Wild von Hohenborn was made quartermaster general in January, 1916, and was appointed minister of war to succeed Gen. von Falkenhayn, a few days later. Before his appoint ment as quartermaster general he saw considerable service as a division com mander with tho German army in Flanders. Disclose Campaign Contributions. Washington, Oct. 28.

The statement had threatened seri ous friction between the United States and Mexico. Mr. Arredondo made known bis purpose last night of call ing at the state department today to explain that the statement was put out by an employe of the Mexico News bureau, the de facto government's semi-official publicity age.icy, without the knowledge or consent of either the embassy or Mr. Cabrera.

It was indicated today that the American members of the Mexican -American joint commission will take no official cognizance of the statement credited to Luis Cabrera, head of the Mexican commission, in which American gov ernment officials were criticised for alleged laxity in dealing with smug glers of arms and ammunition.

Following the hearing at the fed eral building Saturday afternoon be fore Commissioner Frank Campbell, Charles Savage, alias Charles Stevens, was bound over for the federal grand jury on the charge of robbing the mails between Iodge City and Syra cuse. He was placed under a bond of S5,000. He will be held in the Sedg wick county jail until the grand jury meets at wicnita in isovember. It was the testimony of Meredith Rowe, a 17-year-old Chicago boy, that fixed the charge upon Savage. Sav age is a negro and Rowe is white. Rowe was to have been held in the Shawnee county jail but after he turned state's evidence the federal of ficers removed him to the Douglas county jail at Lawrence for safe keep ing. It was feared that negroes in the Shawnee county jail might do him in jury because of the testimony he gav2 against Savage. Rowe declared that he was beating his way on a Santa Fe passenger train when Savage came across him upon a baggage car and forced him to partic ipate in the robbery. Seven mail sacks containing registered mail were taken. Rowe was captured in New Mexico last week and still carried the part of the'loot alleged to have been given to him by Savage. All he obtained for his efforts was a small amount of jew elry. MUST DIM LIGHTS Strict Enforcement of Traffic Ordi nance Warns City.

The -local agent of the Marina today declined to answer any ques tions regarding the vessel beyond say ing that no information concerning her had been received from official sources, and it could not be appertain ed if the Marina's status had been changed to an admiralty ship since her arrival at Glasgow. In well informed marine circles here the belief was expressed that the Marina was still a merchant ship. She had been carrying cargo from Balti more and horses from Newport News to British ports for more than a year.

A very un plasant feeling has developed between Brazil and Argentina because of re cent charges involving the names of Acting Foreign Minister Sousa-Dantas of Brazil and ex-Foreign Minister Zeballos of Argentina. The charge was made in a Buenos Aires newspaper that the Brazilian government had been compelled to pay Sousa-Dantas gambling debts when he retired as Brazilian minister to Argentine. Sousa-Dantas promptly offered to resign but thp president of Brazil refused to accept the resigna tion. Later the charges were denied, th& denial being supported by evi dence to show they were untrue. Declare Story a Frame-Up. The Rio De Janeiro papers asserted that the allgations against Sousa-Dantas were manufactured by an Argen tine group headed by Foreign Minister Zeballas that wants war with Brazil. Zeballos when foreign minister of Argentina produced documents which he said showed that Barzil was pre paring to attack Argentina. When Colonel Roosevelt was in Argentina he attracted attention thruout South America by declaring he would have done exactly what he did in Panama only more.

This fate of the French nation is ow ing above all else to the British. If the British ask next spring for one more offensive campaign they will rob France of the remainder of her army and her national strength. 'This war will make no great change in the estimate of British mil itary accomplishments. Great strate gists, in particular, are lacking among the British. "The Transylvanian situation is ex cellent.

Adv. BATTLEjN EIGHTH Judge Wilson and Ayres in War to Finish. Political Gnns Booming Right Up to Last Day. APPEARS TO BE REPUBLICAN Yet Democrats Hare Strong Machine in District. Landslide in Sedgwick Will De cide Congress Fight. In the battle for the election of con gressmen, the Eighth district has a right lively little battle of its own. With the election eight days away, Eighth district leaders of both par ties are making the fight of their lives for control of the district. Just at this time, based on indications from a trip thru all of the five counties of the dis trict it seems probable that Judge Thomas C. Wilson, Republican, will defeat Congressman W. A. Ayres, Democrat, by a majority of from 1,800 to 2,500. Two years ago Congressman Ayres was elected by a tremendous vote. He fell but a few hundred votes short of a majority over both Ezra Branine, Republican; and Charles L. Davidson, Progressive nominee. Ayres has a strong personal following in the dis trict and it must be reckoned with in making pre-election figures. He is an adroit campaigner and is making a great fight in the district. On the other hand, Judge Wilson's years of service on the bench, gave him a wide acquaintance. He made an excellent record on the bench. He has a personal following that rivals that of Congressman Ayres. He is an active and effective campaigner. He is driving tacks in the Ayres record every day during the campaign. Briefly analyzed, it is doubtful if Eighth district could have nominated men more personally popular or more equally matched for a real finish fight McPherson to Wilson. McPherson county will be the big star in the Wilson banner election day. That is the present indication, as based on a rather close observation of the situation in the five counties. The county's big Progressive vote is seem ingly safely Republican this year with each of the old time third party lead ers working for the Republican nomi nees from president to road overseer. Best possible information points to a majority of 700 to 800 for Judge Wil son in McPherson county. In Harvey county. Judge Wilson en counters a fair-sized railroad vote. This vote is being lined up as nearly as possible for Wilson for president and Congressman Ayres is far too shrewd a politician not to take ad vantage of the situation. With allow ance for a slump in this vote to both President Wilson and Congressman Ayres, the Republican majority in the county seems able to absorb the shock and still give Judge Ayres a majority of 200 to 400. Probably 800 is a very conservative estimate. Too Much Oil Fever. Sumner county is an uncertain quantity. Wellington has a large rail road vote. So has Caldwell. The Well ington railroad vote is registered and working. The Hughes-Wilson fight in the county is even closer than the con gressional contest. Butler county has gone wild over oil. The county's population has in creased 50 per cent in a year. No one seems to know actual conditions. Scarcely a man in the county forgets oil royalties long enough to give a thought to the political situation and campaign orators of both parties who have to the county with speeches have returned home with goose flesh. Gov ernor Capper and Senator Curtis were billed as auxiliaries to a wild west show. They talked to a crowd of 500 people on the main street of the town. It was the largest and only real poli tical meeting in the county during the campaign. Sedgwick to Turn Trick. Under any normal condition, Butler county should turn in a majority of 700 to 800 for the Republicans. Look ing at the situation as it exists, Judge Wilson's majority in the county should be about 300. It may be 400. Sedgwick county and Wichita the home of both candidates is uncertain and much in doubt. Republicans claim it. So do Democrats. There is a large labor vote in the town. No one knows exactly what the women will do. All of these things will have a bearing on the congressional result in the Eighth. Judge Wilson may carry the county by a small vote. His lead, tho, will in any event probably be less than 500. On the o'her hand. Congressman Ayres may carry the county by a small margin. A heavy swing In either direction would decide the election. But conditions seem to point to a close fight in the county. AH of which gives Judge Wilson the better of the argument. Unless he should be badly beaten in the county wnicn seems entirely improbable conditions favor his election. SOLDIERS ARED0PED? Whole Vnits of Troops Filled With Drug, Says Speaker. New York', Oct. 30. That soldiers in the armies of Great B. itain d other countries have to be "doped" with rum and drugs before they will march and charge, was asserted by Leyton Richards, of Manchester, Eng land, in on address delivered on "Pacifism and Militarism in the Light of Christianity," at the West Twenty third street Y. M. C. A. "Whole units of British troops, and I believe it is the same with the other countries, positively refuse to march until their portion of rum is doled out to them," said the speaker. "And when a charge is ordered the men are 'doped.' Do you wonder, then, at the inroads of disease?" Mr. Richards declared that the band of 25,000 men in England who know the conditions In the armies and re fused to be conscripted were being thrown into jail In wholesale numbers.

In last Saturday's Issue of the State Journal, an error in addition was made In an item regarding election proba bilities which entirely reversed the forecast. The paragraph should have read: The electoral college now num- I bers 631 votes. A majority of this is 26. The Republicans concede Wilson I and Marshall the states of Alabama, j Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, I Mississippi, North Carolina, Oklaho i ma. South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas j and Virginia, with 136 electoral votes. In the list of doubtful states they place I Arizona, Colorado, Kentucky, Mary land, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska and New Mexico, with 63 electoral votes. Conceding all the doubtful states to Wilson and adding the same to the absolutely certain 136 votes would give him a total of 199 elec toral votes, or 67 less than required to elect. But Democrats claim New York and Indiana for Wilson with 60 votes. That added to the surely Dem ocratic votes (136) and the 63 doubt ful ones would make the total Wilson and Marshall vote 259 or seven less than necessary to elect. The prevailing high price of cotton doubtless is due largely to the fact that in theValendar year 1915 Ameri can manufacturers of munitions used 244.003 bales of an average net weight of 600 pounds, and in the first half of 1916 their use of cotton for the same purpose amounted to 297,713 bales, or more than for the entire twelve months of 1915. These figures j do not Include cotton exported for use I of foreign manufacturers of explosives. "Bill" O'Hara, says the Boston j Transcript, "has been decorated on j the western front" for his .skill in I bomb throwing. How, many fronts I has Bill 7 And what would old Andrew Jack son have said to the employment of j Pretty girls by the government to ob j tain recruits for the army? More than 100,000 churches and i other religious organizations are ex- pected to observe tuberculosis Sunday on December 3 or 10, this year mak ing the seventh annual participation of religious bodies in an intensive cam j paign to educate the public on the aub- j Ject of tuberculosis. Two Sundays have j been designated by the National as sociation for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis in order that the j churches may choose the one which will best fit In with their program of j services. These dates come at the beginning and end of Tuberculosis j week, which Is conducted under the I direction of the National association. For those worshipping on Saturday, December 3 or 9 have been set aside. Of course, if Senor Villa demands j withdrawal of American troops from i Mexico, that gives President Wilson a j chance to start some more negotia i tions. November 8 the country will listen to the grand chorus: "I Told Ton So." of the best things Explorer cmarkieton does is heading relief ex peditions sent to the rescue of mem iaers of his former expeditions. The American heiress who has mar- ried an Italian prince may live hap j plly, at that. The exception that I proves the rule is about due. A STEP FORWARD. Henry Ford, the man who made a net profit of J60.000.000 from the manufacture of motor cars last year, has done another bit of pioneering. He has announced that henceforth he will pay to his women employes the same wage that he pays to the men. The justice of this must be apparent to the unprejudiced mind, but the Chicago Herald prints an argument on the matter that is worth reading. It a follows: X The struggle for equal pay for equal work has come to the front in this country largely as a result of the agi tation of organized teachers in Chicago and In New Tork. It has been held back in this country and abroad by a number of considerations which scru tiny has shown to be Invalid. A man's wage is more than a per sonal wage; it is a family Income, a stipend supposed to care for women and children as well as the earner himself. The woman's wage, on the other hand, was held to be more per sonal. The worker was Imagined to be a detached individual responsible only for her own support. In fact, current opinion has gone further, set ting forth sometimes that women should be paid only on the pin money theory. According to this hypothesis their Important living Items were chargeable to the .male head of the house. This apology for not paying equal wages to women Is, of course, wretch edly false. Investigations have shown that working women contribute on the average quite as large a proportion of their earnings to the family support as do male workers. In fact, the bur dens borne by employed women are often heavier than those carried by the men. The theory of a family wage for men and a personal wage for wo men has definitely broken down. PARTY WRANGLING. The following timely and pertinent editorial utterance is found In the New Tork Journal of Commerce and is worthy the consideration of every voter: "Campaign speakers need to be careful about what they say these days, for any little slips of speech are liable to be snatched up by their op ponents and magnified and perverted in a reckless attempt to discredit them. Perhaps It was incautious on the part of Justice Hughes to meet 'a delegation from the so-called Ameri can Independence league, but appa rently he did It In Innocent ignorant of what it was and what it wanted or expected. Just what was said at the conference seems to be known only ti those who participated in It; but that Mr. Hughes entered Into any bargain, corrupt or otherwise, to Secure the support of Irish-Americans or German-Americans or any other hyphen ated citizens, is not In the least likely, A rather sickening controversy har been raised over It In which there is evident exaggeration and perversion for hoped-for party effect. That sort of thing is discreditable to American politics. Whatever was said or re ported as having been said at that conference, and what Is being said about It, ought to have no effect upon the votes citizens. There are more important things to determine their choice of candidates or parties. "Still mora trivial is the slip made by Secretary of War Baker In refer ring to the conduct of come American soldiers under the command of Wash ington In the revolutionary war and comparing; it with the behavior of Mexicans In their revolutionary trou bles. The reference to facts was rather trifling and was substantially true. It had nothing to do with the behavior of the American soldiers generally In the revolution, hut put ting It in comparison with that of Mexicans at this time was unfortu nate, to say the least. Bur seizing upon it and magnifying and perverting It as Colonel Roosevelt was so quick and eager to do In New Mexico, for effect on local voters, was far worse. It was ridiculous in its furious zeal to the verge of being silly. Secretary Baker is a man of high character and unquestionable patriotism, and there is no ground for charging him with depreciating anybody or anything connected with the war of the revo lution or the command of Washington. "There is nothing to be gained by this petty kind of party wrangling. At least there ought to be nothing, and those indulging in It are more likely to hurt than to help the cause for which they are supposed to be talk ing. There ar serious considerations which should determine the issue of the coming election, and in their dis cussion there ought to be some dig nity and regard for truth and justice, even in d aling with personal oppo nents." WHAT DOES IT MEAN? The public has heard and read much about the general apathy and lack of enthusiasm in the current po- litical campaign. But there appears to be no lack of Interest where Colo nel Roosevelt appears. As an illus tration of how the people can become aroused on occasion, the following de scription of his appearance in Den ver is taken from the Times: "He hurtled from the rear of the Pullman like a fullback on the fourth down with five yards to go. Into the dense-packed crowd he plunged, teeth bared in an expansive smile. The re ception committee fought to surround him, but were hustled this way and that by the cheering, yelling crowd that had gained access to the station platform. It looked like Colonel Roosevelt would go down in the press of the throng, and detectives were forced to use near-rough tactics to prevent it. "Horns were blowing and flags were waving, and outside, where several thousand people were gathered, then were bursting bombs and the shrieks of sirens. Three hundred women lined the brightly lighted runway as the milling reception crowd escorted or, rather, more pushed than escorted. the smiling ex-president thru. They waved flags and sang songs. One wo man fought her way thru those who surrounded him and it looked as if she were determined to plant a kiss some where, beneath the black, broad brimmed hat. But the colonel ducked The woman seized his hand and shook it vigorously, and then was compelled to fight her way back thru the jam to the side again. "As the automobile was reached the crowd surged forward, brushing asido the surviving members of the original reception committee, and press!;i: Colonel Roosevelt hard against the automobile. But he did not seem to mind. He struggled to free an arm and off came the big black hat, and he bowed as much as possible under the circumstances. Detectives Lane and Watson were given a strenuous five minutes struggling to protect their charge and when finally he had climbed into the machine, and the de tectives had emerged once mere, their collars were wilted, their neckties awry, and Lane's hat was lost beneath the feet of the welcomers. "And all the time the bands were playing the crowd was yelling, and the noise recalled the old-time days of political campaigns. They shouted speech, speech,' and when Roosevelt sought to satisfy them the cheers ros? In such volumo that his voice was lost In the din. Then up thru the streets the procession went Colonel Roose velt standing In the car and bowing repeatedly, while the sidewalks were jammed with thousands. The names of Roosevelt and Hughes were min gled and sounded above the horns and the whistles and the shots. As one of Denver's largest department stores was passed the women employes de serted work and, leaning out the win dows, waving flags, chanted over and over: "Teddy, Teddy, hurrah for Teddy. Teddy, Teddy, hurrah for Hughes. Teddy and Hughes, e-e-e-e-e-e-ah.' 'God bless you, girls,' the colonel shouted. 'That's the spirit.' Nor it is very often that a person wakes up on a fine morning to find himself famous. People who never want anything they cannot get easily seldom have much that is worth while. The more talented the man, the harder he usually works to improve and further develop his talents. The man who declares that he'd rather be poor and happy than rich and otherwise is probably posing. If there were a heavy tax on talk nearly everybody would find it easy to get along without indulging in so mucn or it. From the Atchison Globe. Neither is it necessary to drink in order to be intemperate. Trouble isn't much use trying to be lieve that which you think is a lie. There isn't much use trying to be lieve that which you think is a lie. A forced laugh is the sort a man Indulges in when the joke is on him self. Whether or not she is brave, a woman often shows a lot of backbone at a party. Beware of that man making those suggestions. He isn't going to do any of the work. Some Tjeople tell it all In the first sentence, and then ramble on because their clutch is loose. Sometimes a college education isn't much of an education. But that isn't the fault of the college, you under stand. As you become older the nrettv young girls of your acquaintance all seem to see something interesting across the street. Again speaking of the peculiarity of our language: When opportunity knocks it is one thing, and when you knock it is quite another thing. Tne war has produced some news. but nothing like, as important as a girl thinks her engagement announce ment will be when she finally con sents to spring it on a palpitating public. DINNER STORIES Some farmers In a certain country place had noticed that their fowl were being stolen, and reported the case to the police. A tew days later a negro was ar rested on suspicion and brought be fore the judge, who, wishing to know If he had ever committed a similar offense, commenced to cross-examine him. "Did you ever steal a hen?" asked the judge. "No, sir," came the quick reply. "Did you ever steal a turkey?" questioned the judge. "No, sir, I neber did." "Did you ever steal a duck?" "No, sir, I did not." "Well, since you Tiave never com mitted any ot these offenses, you are discharged.'' said the Judge. The darky left the courtroom and iuet a friend to whom he related his experience, and added: "But, golly, if he had said. "Did you eber steal a rooster?" he would have had me!" Mrs. Jones had a new maid, who appeared at the door of the library one afternoon, where her mistress was reading. "There's no coal, mum," said the domestic, "an' th' fires are goin' out." "No coal!" cried the mistress, in surprise. "Why didn't you tell me before" "I couldn't tell you there was no coal, mum," replied the girl, "when there was coal."

Ren Binks, our talented station agent down to the railroad, said a lot of people got valuable information by tapping the telegraph wires.

Amasa Tibbs, who passed the plate for nine years and then built himself a Dutch .colonial bungalow and bought him a tinlizzie, has resigned upon re quest of the trustees. There is a sign in our town which reads "Maternity Hospital. No chil dren allowed," which shows that con sistency is about as scarce in our town as elsewhere.

Owing to a- break in the machinery the Hoppertown Gazette had to use a foldin' bed fer a printin' press this week. The editor said the paper was behind some, but not so much as the majority of the subscribers.

"Two men looked out from prison bars, one saw mud, another stars." Stevenson. There are some people in the world who never are quite satisfied. Give them the world and thej 'd be wanting a gold fence around it. Give them the fence and they'd be wishing the pat tern of it were Just a little different. I have a friend who has never yet, so far as I can find out, had a gown with which she was perfectly satis fied. Sometimes she buys them ready made and has them altered, and some times she has them made by a dress maker. But never, in any case, are they wholly right. Frequently the fit of the sleeve does not quite Suit her. If it isn't that, it is the hang of the skirt. Or, maybe, she wishes the waist line had been a little bit higher. V It's always, "I wish it were a little this, or a little that," always that big little that stands between content and discontent. Two triends of mine spent their va cation at a certain inn. I -met one of them and asked her how she liked the place. "My dear, it was charming," she said. "Such pretty surroundings and such a nice hostess, and on the whole the food was unusually good. The fried chickens were simply won derful." When I met the other, I said that I had heard they had found M a very pleasant place and the food unusually good. "Yes," she said, "the food was pretty good on the whole, but I wish they would have cooked cereal in the morning." Beyond a certain point, satisfac tion is not a matter of what you have. It is a matter of what you look at in what you have. In other words, it is a point of view. To take this humble instance one woman saw the lack of cooked cereal, the other satth the fried chicken. Some people go thru the world complaining because their roses have thorns. Others are always happy be cause their thorns have roses. A discontented, restless, never quite satisfied frame of mind is a deformity. He who possesses it is cross-eyed in the mind. Instead of seeing the roses, he sees the thorns. Now. I hate the slushy, sentimental kind of optimism no one more. I be lieve in resenting injustice, in admit ting when things are wrong, and in trying to Improve one's condition. But as a straight common-sense proposi tion, it doesn't pay to concentrate your attention on the minor flaws of life. (Copyright by George Matthew Adams.) COI RTSHIP OF MILES 8TAKDISH.

The lights went out, 'the curtain rolled up and the empty white square flashed on the screen upon which, in a minute or two, would follow thrilling scenes of love and adventure In film land. The orchestra played "Here Comes Tootsie," and altogether It was a moment of general expectation. Mrs. Smith rolled up her crochet work and stuck it into her bag, looking anxious ly between times at the empty seat be side her. "I wonder if he's sick?" she wor ried. "I Just thought yesterday when he came In without an overcoat that he'd catch cold. Seems to me the folks at home ought to take better care of him." Then he came, stuck his hat In its place and pulled down the seat. "I'm a little late."' he said. "Yes, and I was worrying. You had no overcoat on yesterday and it was cold. I"m glad to see you've got it out today. It was the same way last Week when you came in all that drizzle with no umbrella. Your folks oughtn't to allow you to do those things." "Folks?" "Why, yes. Haven't you got any?" "Yes, a daughter, but she isn't at home." "Do you mean you live by your self?" "Yes. What's wronar about that?" "Nothing. Only Well, yoU'reT no worse off than I am. I live alone, too. Alfred, my son, has been away for more than a year." "You don't say!" His tone lacked interest because, the butcher and baker and candlestick making having advertised all their wares, the coming attractions having been announced and the operator shown his number, the name of the ensuing feature wajs given, followed by the faces of the cast. Then the man sighed deeply. "Don't you like the Keystone come dies?" she was impelled by her curios ity to ask. "Oh, yes, they're all right but I may as well tell you. When I was get ing some winter things out of the trunk today I I came across some stuff of Mary's dolls and things she had when she was little--and I've been thinking about her all day. And here Just before I left the house didn't a letter come from her chuck full of news. She'd been working In an of fice, but she had an offer from a photo-play company. Mary's awfully pretty- curly hair and big eyes and everything. She's acting now and get ting along fine, she says. She is get ting fifty dollars a week and says she is going to send for me soon." "Isn't that Just fine?" sympathized his neighbor. "Yes, but that isn't all. Here she's gone and engaged herself to a chap, going to be married in a month." "You don't say! That's too bad when she's doing so well." "But she won't give up her acting. She'll go ahead with that after she's married same as now, I think it's queer. I guess I'm an old fogy, may be, but I can't get used to it.. I don't know whether I'll go or not. Don't believe I'd feel at home in a place like that." The ud!ence grew noisy over some capers of the police squad falling downstairs, but Mrs. Smith's sympa thetic eyes were on the man beside her. The doings in the r' ctangle were nothing to this drama. "I guess you're right." she nodded. "My son's in New York, too, working and making good money. He sends me plenty, but keeps writing for me to break up here and go to him. It's a queer place though and I've always been afraid to make the change. There! Isn't that disgusting the way those people beat each other up. I hope your daughter doesn't do any of that kind of stuff!" "No, she's with the let me see, the Movograph company. It's a new one. I don't know as I've ever seen any of their plays." "It must be new. Wouldn't it be funny if they should show here and your Mary be in it?" "I was Just thinking that. There. thank goodness, that's over. Some-how i I don't feel like looking at nonsense today." The rectangle was blank in a min ute and then came the title of the next film "When Dreams Come True," produced by the Movograph company. "Why, there it is!" gafped Mrs. Smith. "Maybe Mary's in it. Look! There's the cast. What's your name?" "Jones." "Mary Jones!" repeated Mrs. Smith in disappointed tones. "Well, it Isn't there." And indeed it wasn't. The first was a garden scene .where the earl reprimands his son for a misspent life -ho women in the pic ture at all. But while they are talk ing a girl bounds In the earl's grand daughter who rushes up to her fath er and throws her arms around his neck. Mr. Jones sprang up. "Mary that's Mary!" he cried shaking all over. "It's just like her exactly. But, oh, I wish she wouldn't put her arms around strangers!" "Sit down," Mrs, Smith pulled anx iously at his sleeve. "People are look ing! Remember, it's only in a picture and But the words died on her lips. The scene had shifted to a carpenter's shop in which, iike Adam Bede, a young mon was working honestly and with a will. The earl's granddaughter was slipping op behind htm ready to cover his eyes with her hand. But it was the carpenter who concerned Mrs. Smith. "Alfreffl" she gasped. "There's Tny Alfred!" "And he's kissing my Mary," pro- 1- tested her agitated neighbor. "And she's to be married to another man. I won't have jtl" "So he's a carpenter!" said Mrs. Smith, leaning forward With disap proval. '"And all his education and college gone for nothing. He always wanted to be a lawyer." "But It's only a picture," It was Mr. Jones's turn to remind her. "That's so'! But anyhow I'm going to write to him about being so affec tionate with girls when he doesn't know Whether they're engaged or not." "And I'll write to Mary. I don't ap prove of these movies." When the show was over. Mrs. Smith turned to Mr. Jones at the en trance, where it was their custom to separate, one to go to Ins boarding house, the other to her little Cottage on the ecigo of town. "Wouldn't you have a cup of tea with me. Mr. Jones? It's cold and I'd like to show you some of Alfred's pic tures when he was little.' "Why, yes. thank you, Mrs. smith. I'll go out with you. He's a fine-looking young fellow!" "And your Mary is as pretty as a picture. Say, I know why they don't call her Mary Jones in the cast. Peo ple wouldn't remember it. She's Flora Klldare!"

If it was just your Alfred now it would be all right, wouldn't it?" They reached the little house and Mrs. Smith unlocked the door. A let ter lay on the hall carpet and she picked it up. "It's from Alfred." she cried. "Will you excuse me a minute while I run my eye over it and see what he says?" "Yes. indeed. Go aheal." And then he heard a little cry. "JUBt listen to this.'" she quavered. 'iHere's what he says. 'I've a little news, mother. I'm going to be married to a very sweet, dear girl called Mary Jones. Some people know her as Flora Kildare. for she's in the movies, and so dear mother, am I. We work together and are very happy. When we're settled you must make up your mind to come here and live. Mary's father may come too." "Why, I never thought of that," said Mr. Jones dazedly. "What a little bit of a world it is!" said Mrs. Smith. (Copyright. 11. by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) Auciepj Y'vOT Nuts. Among the 3s recently discov ered by the United State geological survey, department of the interior, are remakably well preserved impressions or casts of leaves of several extinct varieties cf ash, oak, beech, and hick ory, which were found, along with three present-day species, in states bordering the Gulf of Mexico. Altho the leaves themselves have rotted and gone, here and there some were buried in the soft clay by sediment in such a way as to leave perfectly pre served impressions. The nuts on the other hand, neither decayed nor petri fied, but fell into pools of stagnant water, which is one of the best pre servatives in nature, and ooner or later were also buried- under silt and clay.. Owing to their hard coats, those which fell into places favorable to their preservation are today in excel lent condition, tho slightly flattened by the Jong soaking and the gentle pressure of the clay. The deposit In which the leaves and nuts are found is not less than a million years old, or at least a hundred times as old as the pyramids of Egypt- The Latin for It. A correspondent writes: The report I read in the Manchester Guardian of ode M. P. calling another a "silly ass" because he was slow to see the point of an answer in the house reminds me with how much more delicacy the phrase was used once in the senate house at Cambridge. The Public Or ator was so much interrupted during his Latin oration that he stopped and, directly addressing the rowdies in the gallery, asked in Latin whether he was to be allowed to continue or whether he was to submit to this vocal intimidation. His protest ended with the words "An sileam?" (Am I to be silent?). "Sileas!" instantly retorted a ribald scholar in correct Latin. Manchester Guardian.

Make ig Teme Tales BY CLARA INGJLAM .HIDCO EVEIlYTHIXG It was alucky thing for Father Beaver that Mother Beaver Was sound asleep when he got home. If she had been awake she would have wanted to know where he had betn and what he had been doing and all about it. And Father Beaver wouldn't have known what in the world to tell her, for, of course, he wanted to keep the raft a secret till he was ready to take her tor a ride. He was tired, too, from all his exciting labors and he was glad indeed to drop down in his hiding place and go to sleep. But his troubles were only postpon ed. The minute he. waked up in the evening. Mother Beaver began her questions. "Where in the world were you last night, Father Beaver?" she demanded, "and what were you doing?" "Oh, I was busy," replied Father Beaver. "I wasn't very far away." "Well. I think you might tell me about it," said Mother Beaver. "How much did your tell when you were making your party?" asked Fa ther Beaver. "Oh-h!" exclaimed Mother Beaver, "you're getting a surprise! Well, how soon will I know about it? Where s it? What kind of a surprise is it?" Now Father Beaver was scared to death for fear he might by mistake tell his secret. He knew the nly safe thing was for him to get away. You see, he didn't want to tell till he was all ready; and he couldn't be all ready till he had run down to where he hai left the raft and had seen whether It was all right or not. So he said, "Now, Mother Beaver, you Just wait. In one half hour I'll tell you whether I have a surprise or not. And during that half hour, you're not to ask a question nor are you to watch where I go." Mother Beaver promised she noodles of two eggs, boil ten minutes, drain. Put in pan layer of noodles, layer of ham, etc., till full; bake brown. Bra'n Patties Take off the skin, wash good, drain, dip in flour and fine bread crumbs. Fry in hot fat till brown.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL MONDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 2&, 1916 NOT PREPARED TO MEET AFTER WAR TRADE CONDITION Serious Mistake to Belieye i Democrats, Says Hughes. Protective Tariff Absolutely ecessary to United States. EXPORT INCREASE DUE TO WAR European Industry Waking in Spite of Conflict. America Must Keep Pace With Every Foreign Move. East Liverpool, Ohio, Oct. 30. Charles E. Hughes, replying further to a statement in President Wilson's Cincinnati speech, told an audience V m Vw vA n nnn nnn nnA invaoe-A in American exports last year was due almost exclusively to the demand cre ated by the European war and cited a statement by Chairman Hurley of the federal trade commission to uphold the Republican claim that America is "not prepared for post-bellum compe tition with Europe." "That $2,000,000,000 increase," Mr. Hughes said, "represents almost ex clusively the demand created by the European war. What are we to do? There is but one safe course. It is idle to tHlk about conditions of work if there is no work. And you cannot have any lasting basis for prosperity unless you apply the Republican doc trine of protection to American in dustries. "I was amazed the other day when the snokesman for the opposition told the people that we were ready. He tuud in substance that the nations en Rased in this struggle are so wasted by war that we need not fear their com petition. A Serious Mistake. "That ia a very serious mistake if you want to know what the facts are. Let those who speak for the opposing party take the words of the tederal trade commission, spoken almost at the same time, as a result of their own inquiry. What is the use of having socalled expert bodies if we do not pay any attention to what they say" "This ts what Chairman Hurley of the federal trade commission said last week in New York on this very sub ject and I commend it to the very seri ous attention of those who speak for an opposing policy. He says, 'While in many respects we know little of what is going on in the warring na tions, we do know that within sound of the guns, almost within reach of the falling shells, Europe is reawaken ing her industries "If our industries are not to be caught slow of mind and flabby of muscle, we must 'improve our business organization, must increase our manu facturing and merchandising effi ciency and must keep peace with every nep in Europe.' "That is the statement of the board fcy the chairman of it with respect to increased efficiency abroad. They have organization. They have a bet ter knowledge of themselves. They nave a better discipline and efficiency in production than ever before. Tariff Not for Revenue. "Now these are facts for American business men and American working men to think carefully over. When it is said here we need organization I a crree; when it is said that we need development of alertness and power, I agree, but there is one thing that was not said. It is the thing which our opponents, in view of their principles, cannot well say. It is a thing that we do say, and that is, whatever our or frar.izi.tion, whatever your alertness, you have got to have your markets protectee against the competition of labor that is paid less than you are. "We propose to protect American industry. You cannot run this coun try on the principle of tariff for reve nue only. We want to build up Amer ican industry, protect the American wae scale and lay the foundation for social justice." Mr. Hughes spoke in the open air here before a crowd which was so noisy that his voice could hardly be heard fifty feet away. He 'left at 11:30 for Steuberville.

With entrainment today of troops from the First r?priment. Kansas Na tional Guards, no information is avail able as to the mustering out of Bat tery A. or the Second Regiment band. Th.at is the news which Topekans await. The Second Resiment band is expected to return to Topeka "some time next week." but the battery still is stationed on the Mexican border near Eajrle Pass. Tex. The First regiment left Fort Riley this morning. The Second regiment is now in camp at Riley, but no orders for their entrainment for home have been issued. In army circles it is not believed the troops will leave the ?ort until next Monday. It is even prob able they will spend election day in the military camp. In tnat event, guardsmen who are eligible to vote in their home precincts will mark blank balrots and they will be forwarded to county clerks in home counties. Arrangements for mustering out tne Second resiment are now being worked out. The troops, which ar rived last Friday, cannot leave camp short of five days after their arrival. That would mean that Wednesday ould be the earliest moving day. In dications, however, seem to point to the fact that the Second. regiment will not be able to move that soon. In cluded in the Second regiment is the regimental nar.d from Topeka. No orders for mustering out Battery A have been received from the war de partment and it is probable the bat tery may be held at the border several weeks. Should the Second regiment be held at Riley longer than this week. Gov ernor Capper will probably go to the fort Sunday to review the troops.

P. Votes. New York, Oct. 30. Republican National Chairman Willcox expects the Democrats to fire another explo sive bomb the last two -or three days of the campaign, in a "last desperate effort to hurl doubtful states their way," he said today. He believes, however, that the expected bomb will contain "damp powder." "In view of the fact that our friends the enemy have hurled charges of secret intrigues, border plots and other political what-nots," said Will cox today, "I am expecting another bomb of like harmless quality the last two or three days of the campaign. When it comes the public should bear in mind the complete failure of its predecessors." He insisted he had "nothing specific in mind," but that "if they did it pre viously they will do it again." He rad iated optimism today. He said he "felt less doubt than at any previous time," that Hughes will be the winner. "We can count absolutely on from 270 to 300 electoral votes," he said. "I look for at least 310. We are gaining every day. New York, Ohio, Illinois and Indiana are certain to go for Hughes, I am not so sure -about Wis consin and Utah, because of varying reports from the former and because of the terrific local fight in Utah."

COMMERCIALCLUBPLAN Rule by Majority Is First Feature of Membership Campaign, Rule by the entire membership will be effective in the Topeka Commercial club in the future, according to a plan outlined today noon to the board of di rectors by Samuel Wilson, of the American city bureau, who is launch ing a membership campaign for the organization. Working membership, according to Mr. Wilson, an expert in Commercial club work, is the only thing that will make a successful Com mercial club. With this idea in view, Mr. Wilson has outlined a series of plans for in teresting all members in the work of the organization and obtain their co operation at the same time. Follow ing are the principles which Mr. Wil son believes will inject new life into the club: Administrative machinery which will not permit ring control of election of officers and directors. Program of work not outlined by the directors, but compiled from writ ten suggestions by each member. Committees organized to carry out program, each member working on the thing which he has said should be done. Meetings of the entire membership at least every two weeks to maintain interest of those not working on com mittees. Most important questions not de cided by the directors but submitted to the membership by mail, as a re ferendum. Occasional social meetimjs to reach the member who has little interest in the more constructive undertaki'nes. Intelligent, and sustained publicity of accomplishments. T'nder this plan, each member with a pet hobby will have an onnortunity to present it to the club and if it satis fies a maloritv of the members, the plan will be placed in a platform for the Topeka Commercial club, From now on almost dailv meetings will be held for the puroose of preparing for intensive campaigning to be done within the next few weeks. Also it will be arranard that the member with anj idea will have an op portunity to serve on the committee appointed to carry out this idea. It is believed that nearly t every business man has an idea of something the Commercial club should accomplish. Under this plan he will have an oppor tunity to give it a trial.

Roy Crawford's stock-company the ater on East Eighth avenue, which for the last few years has been bearing the name of the "Hip," will resume its maiden name of "The Majestic" today. The old sign was taken down today and an elaborate new sign with the accustomed name of "The Majestic" wa3 placed in front of the theater. Half of Topeka playgoers continued to call the theater by its old name any way so the change was made. The changing- of the title of Craw ford's stock show-house come coinci dentally with a change of policy.

State Witness in Larimer Case Makes Charges. Asserts Attorney McLaughlin Told Him Jfot to Appear. DIDN'T NEED HIM AT TRIAL G. C. Gray Says Lawyer Saw Him in Kansas City. Signed Statement That He Said i He Didn't Read. Grover C. Gray, the state's principal i witness in the recent case against Hugh Larimer, undersheriff, tried for i the shooting of James Baker, made I the statement in the presence of four j witness today that he was instructed i not to appear at the Larimer hearing. He made grave charges against Jo. in McLaughlin, the Osage City attorney, who prosecuted the case against Lari mer. "McLaughlin knew I was in Kansas City at the time of the trial," he said. "He knew because he saw me there and talked with me. He gave me 35 and said I could have more if 1 needed it. 1 said 1 was pretty hard up and he gave me another five. Then he told be they didn't need me at the trial: that if they did they would let me know. They did not let me know and that is the reason I was not here." This statement was made in the presence of W. E. Atchison, county attorney; L. L. Kiene, sheriff; W. ,E. Anderson, stenographer, and one other. It was a "stunner'' for county offi cers, following the apparent effort made by John McLaughlin, during the trial, to locate Gray. It was repre sented that Gray had made an affi davit that he saw Larimer shoot Baker and that he knew all the facts about it. None other of the witnesses put on uy tne prosecution testified to anv- thing of that kind. John McLaughlin expressed great reeret to the i-nnri that he was unable to secure his star witness and it was aorjarentlv hemnae of Gray's absence that the case went to tne jury as quickly as It did. Ef forts were made to use the Gray affi davit but not successfully. Gray stated todav thnt .i tA he not make the affidavit credited to him but that he did not see the shobt ing of Baker and did not Know that Larimer shot him, except that Larimer said he had when he returned to the crowd of officials and prisoners. Did Not See Shooting. "I did not see the shooting of Bak er, he said, "and never said I did. I would not have been possible for mo to se it from where I stood. "I saw Jim Baker run out of the I dairy house and go around a corner of the barn with Larimer after him. Larimer was shooting then but it has always been my opinion that if he had wanted to shoot Baker he would have done it then. I do not believe he in tended to shoot him and so stated be fore the trial. "If they put a lot of stuff about what I saw in that affidavit they did it without my knowledge." Then Gray made a sworn affidavit in which he testified to the matter outlined above. He also explained about the making of the original affi davit. "Mr. McLaughlin talked with me. he said, "and had something taken by a s-tenographer. He said it was not ready to sign then; that he wanted to look it over and see if it was all right. Ife told me when to call at the stenog rapher's office and sign it. I called when he said to call and the stenog i :ti,hei handed .me the typewritten pa per and said: 'Sign your name there. I signed it." 'To you mean to say that you Cid not read what was in that affidavit?" asked County Attorney Atchison. f- "1 didn't read It," replied Gray. "I am not a very good reader and sup posed it was all right." Benton Is Confident. Beloit. Kan.. Oct 30.

MANY SUNFLOWER TEAMS NEED TO DEVELOP MORE PUNCH IN PINCHES Either Aggies or Jayhawkers Could Have Won With Little More Wallop. That every important football team in Kansas is sadly in need of a potential punch and a pinch wallop is the standing out feature of the present gridiron season "which is now hovering around the halfway point. Just now there does not seem to be a single moleskin aggregation in the state that possesses the bull dog determination, the concentrated energy and the mechanical smoothness so necessary in the winning of games against oppon ents of similar strength. This deficiency has been noticeable since the opening of tht season when Friends University and the Emporia Teachers, two of the strongest teams in the state conference, ended their game in a tie. It was apparent in -.he Ottawa-Bethany game of a few weeks aco, in the Baker-Qnaker clash last Friday and decided ly so in the K. U.-Aggie battle at Lawrence last Saturday. Judging from results, it seems that the Washburn Ichabods have this jionch more than any other team in the state because in every game except the one with Friends they have come thru with the necessary touchdowns, often overcoming an early game lead, but really it has not been so much the punch as the breaks of the luck ele ment that have tided them over, and many critics say that the one weakness of the Kennedy machine is its defi ciency along this line. Friends Lost It. Friends university seemed to be well provided in this respect earlier in the season but last week the Quakers cracked badly when they allowed Ba ker to hold them to a scoreless tie and now it is predicted that they are going to find it hard to get buck into their early reason stride, and it is yet to be seen what team is going to get out of the "dub class" first and become the sensation of the state by learning the simple trick of striking while the iron is hot and delivering the goods when they are needed to save the day. The meeting of the Jayhawkers and Wildcats was one of the most notable Is the history of their classic clashes it was a clean game between evenly matched elevens and served again to put Manhattan back on even terms with Lawrence in a football way but to the coaches and the players them selves it must have been a bit disap pointing on both sides because they could not fail to realize that the 0 to 0 tie surely would have been broken in their favor if a little more "punch" had been put into the fray when the opportunities for score presented themselves. Both Deficient. But neither team had the necessary tuff when it came to the pinch. An unusual feature about the game was the fact that the Aggies, while they outplayed the Jayhawkers were never really within striking distance of a touchdown, and the ulcott men who were completely outclassed in offen sive playing were able to invade the danger zones frequently only to lose their chances. The playing of Lindsey of K. V ar.d of Kandels. of the Agsies. in this game will always stand out as bright feat ures in their gridiron careers. Both were heroes of hectic deeds and their valuable work entitles them to divide the honor of being the greatest grid Ironists of Kansas today. Lindsey, altho he was handicapped by having a bad knee and had to run awkwardly, was the bull and 'he breastworks for the Jayhawkers thru ouL His charging gave his team orac Ucally every gain they made and he never carried the ball that he did not advance it goalward. in the de'ensive he was always as solid as brick walls and there is every reason to believe the Aggies would have won had a weaker man been filling his shoes. Itandcls at His Best. Kandels. like the Law rence star, also was handicapped, his reputation for prowess making him a marked man and the opposition seeing to it that he had numbers against him ev ery time he made a move. But in spite of this he was an ever present menace to K. IT. and made valuable fains time after time. Kandels played a loose position, carrying the ball from all kinds of positions and gaining ground repeatedly on end runs and line sittings. The game was a model for cleanness Irom start to finish. Despite the fact that the rivalry was of the bitter brand and the fact that hoth teams played hard and smashed hard, there was no attempt to take an unfair advantage 1 luANT A lIMe'S WORTH OP (Nsecr H0WuR To KILL S0M6 NVOTHS IN M i nu t e on either side and no penalties were necessary for roughness, unsportsman like conduct or any of the things that so often mar the games between old enemies.

Winner Will Have Best Claim to Conference Honors. Washburn will have the state foot ball championship without dispute or argument, if next Friday they defeat the Emporia Normals. Football hopes that faded when Friends made a Ro man holiday out of the Topeka eleven to the tune of 25 to 0, are reviving like the flowers of spring after a shower by the fact Baker, defeated a week ago by the Ichabods, held Friends to a- scoreless tie, Friday. That, considered with the fact that the Normals several weeks ago also held the Wichita Quakers to a tie, is giving rise to glorious hopes on Wash burn's part. Dope unquestionably favors the Normals but there is a strong brief which may be held for Washburn. Washburn's loss to Friends may be largely explained by the fact that Kennedy's material was green and un tried whereas Friends have a team of veterans who have played together thru three years of college football and many of whom have played thru four years of high school football in Wichita. The Wichita eleven was at top form at that time and their game will see no improvement thru the sea son. A Kansas City sport writer pre dicts instead that they will "go stale." Since then Kennedy's team has slowly been rounding into shape and local dopesters assert that by next Friday the team will be 25 per cent better than the team that defeated Baker. Washburn Was Overconfident. While the margin of victory over Ottawa was woefully scant Friday, it was on account of the fact that Wash burn entered the arena overconfident and ffwell headed. And one of Ken nedy's chief goals is that of taking the swell out of Washburn craniums. Traditional Washburn grit is still present this year and Washburn seems to put up itg strongest fight when the odds are against them. The Ottawa touchdown was made by a forward pass and Washburn is steadily gaining in proficiency in that department. Another thing that has always to be taken into consideration is "Kennedy luck." Football followers of the Mis souri valley can state that the elusive factor of chance has never deserted a Kennedy-coached team. "Kennedy for luck' is a foxtball byword in west ern football annals. The Washburn-Normal game will be the most important one in the state with the exception of the Oklahoma K. U. card at Lawrence which will at tract attention largely because it will give the dopesters a chance to compare the strength of Kansas ana Missouri, the Sooners having been defeated by the Tigers last week 23 to 14. The Aggies will loaf this week and will prepare leisurely for their meet ing with the Sooners on November 11. The important games scheduled or this week, thruout the country, are: The Week's Games.

Arthur Ackerman, of Lima, O., will meet Jack Wheeler, of Detroit, Mich., in a pocket billiard tOBrnam?nt at the Moose club rooms Wednesday eve ning.

Mike Gibbons (below) and Johnny Ertle. Lots of fighters have signed agreements to make low weights, because they wanted the match, and later re gretted it. Training down to a weight below the normal has hurt many of the ring's best performers Other fighters have demanded low weights of their adversaries in important fights and thus won an advantage. Bat Nelson demanded low weights from Gans that were said to brini? about the decline cf his health. Mike Gib bons tried recently to work the trick on Jack Dillon, but Dillon didn't fall. Johnny Ertle. the bantam, was fool- t ed when Benny Kauffman made a low weight for him and then outpointed him a while ago. Noodles andNoggets T-p. Du from the Oope Pot By Clu. The Washburn Ichabods are scheduled to go thru their hiirdest practice of the sea aim this week in preparation for Friday's battle at Emporia. Coach Kennedy re alizes it will take better playing than his men have so far done to win and he has his eyes ou the conference title. No injuries of any consequence were re ceived in the Ottawa game and all of Captain Stewart's men should be in fiue shape for the Teacher tussle. The big surprise of last week's games was the 23 to 0 victory of Harvard over Cornell. Old John's boys showed a com plete reversal of form while the highly touted Ithaca machine went all to pieces. It appears that the great Stagg. of Chi cago, is in for his ruu of touph luck sim ilar to the run Yost has been having at Michigan. Little consideration was given to the defeat of Chicago by Carleton early in the sen son, hut the way Wisconsin romped away with a SO to 7 victory over the Maroons indicates all is not well in the aIoqzo camp. Felts, of the Hays Normal team made a 60 yard run for a touchdown in the game with the College of Km porta at Hays Sat urday and the Short Grnss Teachers won by the narrow-margin of VI to 12. Having defeated the Santa Fe O. O. team, the Washburn Freshman are now anxious to take on the Apprentices. However, the Poiler Makers will probably give them a harder rub if the proposed game be ar ranged. Again the West has demonstrated that it does uot have to bend before the Fast when it comes to the pridiron. Michigan took the strong Syracure team into c;mp by the score of 14 to IS. Itafter scored the wining touchdown on a forward pass play. Last Friday in, the Ottawa game Coach Kennedy rather surprised the sideline snectators when he took out Trnll and Cal iban, his regular emis. and sent Hope and Irake to play the win tip positions. How ever, both got away well. Prake, whose nnme Is "Ducky." found an animal rival for his fowl monaker at Otta wa. One of Coah- Schnblnger's men car ries the name Bray and his team mates call him "Douk." Pierson. one of the mst valnable men on the Friends team, will probablv be out the rest of the season as a result of a splin tered arm bone, received in the game with Raker. Dr. linnfrurv states that his who'e team is so badly crippled up he is afraid Haskell will have an easy game this week. Haskell, by the way. deserves to win a few games. The plucky Ke;lskins. playing heavier and more experienced teams, have been making a great showing and have been putting op an interesting scrap ev erywhere they have played. Texas A. snd M. beat the Indians 'ast week 13 to 6, but it was a hard earned victory. Reports from St. Marys indicate that the Catholics and Fairmount staged a real MONDAY EVENING, Drawn for battle there. St. Marys outplayed the Wheatshockers on straight football but the breaks went against the O'Kourke men and they lost the game in the fourth quarter, the final score being 10 to 10. ACBIUXDALE A.D X.

I HI II7T- INSIDE GRIDIRON TIPS BY CHARLES E. BKICKLEY. How few good captains and mana gers do we find among the ranks of the schoolboy players. Usually the captain is picked because he is the best player, while the manager is gen erally chosen because he is popular. It does not seem to enter the minds of most schoolboy players that the captain must be something else be sides a good player and that a mana ger must have some qualifications for the position outride of the fact that he 'is popular with the students. Usually there is electioneering in the selection of captains and managers and they are often chosen on the spur of the moment. The captain must of necessity be a good player in order to be able to act as an inspiration to the other mem bers of the team. There have been cases where medicre players have been selected as captains and they have made good because their person ality and character was such that they could sain the self respect of the men working under them and eo act as an inspiration to them. The captain should be a leader in every sense of the word. In addition to beinir a good player, he must pos sess a fine upright character; he must be clean living in order to set an example to the other members of his team; he must be unselfish and will ing to sacrifice himself for the good of the squad: he must be fair and im partial, must not play favorites: he must be continually thinking of his Fquad as a whole and not of indi viduals. He mu-t be a fighter in the real sense of the word, always working his hardest for the good of the team: on the field he must be the most ener getic figure: he must work his hard est, not only in the games but in every minute of the practice; he must keep his men on the Jump, constantly en eouraeine or criticising as the occa sion requires.

Temple Discusses Charges Made in Game With Dodgers. BY FIIAXK G. MEXKE. New York, Oct. 30. "Those who know John McGraw best, do not take seriously his charges that the Giants threw the final series of the year to the Dodgers; they look upon McGraw'3 utterances merely as a sort of exhaus; for his shattered nervous system." So asserts William Chase Temple, donor of the famous Temple cup, and a student of the diamond game for forty years. "McGraw is a nervous, highly strung fellow, with wonderful courage an l coolness in the fiercest fighting, but with a temperament that n akes him go to pieces absolutely after the crisis is over," said Temphe. "I first came to know this about McGraw more than twenty-two years ago. and the study cf his career since then reveals the same characteristics. "Back in 1894 the Boston and Bal timore teams rushed to the wire al most, nose and nose. Upon the last game of the year depended the pen nant. Boston got away in the lead and held it until the ninth. Finally the Baltimore club filled the bases 'n the final inning, with two men out. A hit meant the pennant for Balti more; failure spelled its loss. McGraw Collapsed. "And it was John McGraw's turn at bat. Confidently, swaggeringly, he walked to the plate, with a sneer upon his face. In all that ball park, John McGraw, facing the greatest task of his career up to that time, was the coolest and calmest. He seemed like an icicle. "The ball was served up to him. McGraw looked it over and then let it slip by. The next one came up and McGraw, timing his swing perfectly, shot it on a line over the infield for the hit that won the game and the pen nant of 1894 for his club. "Immediately after the game was over, McGraw rushed into the .club house ahead 'of his mates. When they arrived there they found him in a far corner in tears. McGraw was crying in hysteria; rabbling. His tempera ment had enabled him to face the strain and bravely. But as soon a3 the tension had snapped, John Mc Graw collapsed. "That isv typical of McGraw, and that incident of more than a Ecore of years ago explains to many of the old timers why McGraw made charges that seemed sensational at the time. While the Giants were breezing aloniff on their record-baking journey, Mc Graw was cool, confident, collected. Nothing rattled him; nothing caused him to lose his poise. And then came the defeat at the hands of the Braves, which ended the winnin streak after it had tallied twenty-six. He Couldn't Vndcrstand. "With the severing of the string. McGraw's nervous system, no doubt, became unhinged. And when the Giants, after steamrolling every foe over a sweep of nearly one month, went to Brooklyn- and put up such i miserable exhibition, the sight of it was more than McGraw could bear. He couldn't understand at the time that the let-down of his men after their great record was but natural. He came to regard them as a neerless combina tion: as a team that could not play anything other than superb baseball whenever it tried.; "After the Giants had won about ten games during their spring streak of seventeen in a row, I wired Mc Graw at Cincinnati. I pointed out to him that it wasn't good for a ball club to want too many in a row that the let-down afterward would work havoc with the team for a while What I then predicted came true. The Giants cracked in nhout twenty different places after they had won their sev enteen straight. Winning Streaks Hurt. "That has been the case all thru baseball history. I have been Interest ed in the game in a vital way for something like forty years. In all that time I never have seen any club win a big string of games consecutively with out slipr.Sng badly for some time after ward. That has been proven this sea son, not merely in tb case of the Giants, but by other clubs. "The Pt. Luis Browns won quite a few games In a row during mldseason and e-ot within striking d!stance of the penns-nt. Then their string was brok en and somehow or other, the Browns couldn't get back into stride again. The Red Pox achieved consecutive vic tories alone In August snd seemed to have cinched the pent ant. Their march was halted by a defeat and for two or three weeks afterward they did little better than flounder along." Havilaml Team Is Strong. Haviland. Kan., Oct. 31. R. L.

Leaving the City of Mexico on Oc toher lit and arriving in Topeka on Octulier -o with a stopover at San Antonio, traveling in a Pullman draw ing room and making the whole trio thru Mexico without encountering any brigands with the exception of the Pullman porters, seems to indicate that conditions have changed in t'ar- ranza hind That is the experience of K. Cartlidge. former Topeka man. hut who for the last fifteen years has be n located in the City of Mexico with the Sanborn Drug company. Mr. Cartlidge, with Doctor Deemer of the same company, are en route to New York city, to buy supplies for the company, which is the only Amer ican owned company of the kind that has kept going during the last five years. The four stores owned by the company employ nearly seventy-five native clerks. Cartlidge will remain in Topeka sev eral (lavs. The result of the election will determine the amount of supplies that the company will purchase, and may determine whether or not the company will remain in business. Cartlidge is one of the few Ameri cans remaining in the City of Mexico. Five years ago there were more than lOHOit. Now there is an American quarter of a scant 20W population. Population of I!-f iijcees. The population of the capital city innuvd more than 100.000 in the tarn r Cartlidge says. It is nncentration camp of the eoun try People, driven from their homes t.v the operations of the armies of the ,ii.i,ni fMc.tions have flocked to the capital bv the thousand. There they are living in the greatest poverty. Poverty reigns thruout the city, yet it presents a gayer aspect than it ever did in 'he palmy days of Diaz. The theaters and movie houses are enter tainins thousands every night with the S. R. sign on display. In fact, since Mexico's troubles began several thea ters have been added to the gayety of the capital. The citizens may have to go without bread but they can not exist without their theaters or the moves. Cartlidge declares. As all Mexican newspapers are oper ated by the government and strictly censored no trickle of the excitement that may reign in outside provinces ever reaches the capital. Only when American newspapers occasionally penttrare do the inhabitants of the capita! near of any raids, border fight ing or other excitement. Occasional Riots. To' be sure, there are occasional riots in the city, but they are all of .one pattern, so trifling and con tinuous, that they don't awaken a 'L COM AX it SOCKET GATHER ROOrV lfp0!o& JillllliP lF 00 Like The feicesl Theya i Co L :fVwfffi J V JERRY ON THE JOB thrill among the riot-jaded inhabit ants. The railroad to Laredo is operating thru trains for the first time in two years, and luxurious ones at that. Pre vious to his leaving for the states, Mr. Cartlidge engaged an Indiana woman as secretary. She arrived at Laredo while ho was stopping at San Antonio. She telegraphed asking whether it was "afe to go farther. Cartlidge, to reas sure her, telegraphed to the company headquarters in the capital. They re sponded emphatically that there was not the slightest danger, that not a train had been molested since the op erations of thru trains was-resumed. Mexico appears to be taking a breathing spell previous to embarking on any more seas of disturbance. Mr. Cartlidge is staying at the home of his parents. Mr. and Mrs. E. T. Cartlidge. 1181 Western avenue. He has several relatives in Topeka. His two sons, sent to the states from Mex ico City several months ago to escape anti-American feeling then prevalent, are now in the Missouri Military acad emy at Mexico, Mo. Before going to New York he will visit his sons at school. TRAPPED IN HOME FIRE Cliicagii Coroner Awakened ny Neigh bors Made Narrow Escape. Chicago, Oct. 30.

Cost of Living Now Greater Than Their Salaries. Washington, Oct. 30. Urgent need of financial assistance for American consular officials and clerical assist ants in Europe obliged by the greatly increased cost of living sine the war to pay three times or more normal peace time prices for foodstuffs and personal necessities is shown in re ports received almost daily by the state department. Almost without ex ception these ehow that what was re garded before the war as an attractive compensation for consular employes today Is scarcely sufficient to provide food and the bare necessities. The 5150,000 allowance given by congress as a warfund to be distrib uted to consular officers to meet in creased demands has been allotted and the department is now without means of extending further relief. No Relief in Sight. No provision was made for the relief of clerks and other employes and ex cept for a few whose salaries have been increased noassistance has been given this class and none is possible until congress provides additional funds. A year ago the. department directed consular officials to report on the cost of living at their posts to de termine developmentsof the increase. Estimates show that the $150,000 would be sufficient then to meet only from fifty to sixty per cent of the actual increased cost at all affected posts. 9' Salaries Not Large. Department records show there Is about 600 employes in the European countries whose salaries are $1,000 a year and less. In most instances these are natives employed as clerks, stenog raphers or similar position w&ose ex penses naturally are less than those of the American employes. The number of Americans in this grade of em ployment is estimated at about 150 THE BELL Stat JOURNAL Copyright. 1918. International News Service.)

Brew ster, attorney general, for fee grab bing methods in the gaa receivership have been unjust, unfair and untruth ful, according to a statement today by Governor Capper. The Brewster criti cism was launched by Democrats as a result of the governor's speech con cerning the Kansas Natural gas case. In an effort to launch an issue, it is claimed that In several towns the gov ernor's speech was distorted and mis the attorney general. Such efforts by anyone are unjust and unwarranted and are a base dis tortion of my statements," said Gov ernor Capper. "I have always praised the work of Mr. Brewster tor his ef forts in seeking to dissolve the re' ceivership and secure lower gas rates. He is entitled to the greatest praise for his work. In many of my speeches and always in night speeches, where I have had time to go into details re garding the matter, I have especial ly mentioned Mr. Brewster s excellent work. If anyone seeks to convey the impression that I have directly or by inference criticised Mr. Brewster's work in the g"3s case, such action can be only a wilful misquotation of my remarks. HEAR LANSDON SPEAK Several Hundred Go to Auditorium for Democrats Rally. Criticism of Hughes, Governor Cap per and the Republican state ad minis tration featured the speech of W. C. Lansdon, Democrat nominee for gov ernor, in an address to several hun dred people in the auditorium. Lans don lauded the Wilson administration and defended the policies of the pres ident and congress. The "he kept us out of war" pita was a feature of the Lansdon talk. In addition to his praise of the pres ident, Lansdon devoted much time to a criticism of the state administration. He declared that in the matter of ef ficiency and business management, tho Hodges administration was superior to the Capper administration. Fol lowing his attack on the two years of Capper's administration, Lansdon di rected criticism at S. M. Brewster, at torney general, who he deck' red had not prevented the sale of intoxicating liquor in this state. NO FOREIGN REQUEST Censors Were Transferred Thru Ad ministrative J tea sons. Says Benson. Washington, Oct. 30. Transfer of Lieuts. Charles J. C. Clark and H. S. Keep, naval censors at Bayville and Siasconsett wireless stations respect ively, to other posts, was announced today by Admiral Benson, chief of op orations. The admiral denied pub lished reports that his action was tak en because Great Britain protested that officers had permitted unneutral information to sre out concerning the recent raid of the German submanna U-53 on the New England coast. "It is not true that these officers were transferred to other duty as a re sult of requests of any foreign gov ernment or persons,' said Admiral Benson. "I took the initiative without consultation or direction from any other authority." -The iidmiral de clined to say for what reason the of ficers were transferred. It was said that only questions of administrative details were involved. Assistant Secretary Roosevelt an nounced that Lieut. J. C. Clark had been sent to Siasconeett to relieve Lieutenant Keep. Sayvllle win remain under charge of officers already there until an appointment to the vacancy caused by Lieutenant Clark's removal. Mrs. Reutinger Seeks Bail. Newark, N. J., Oct. 30.

Laugh of Osborne as his asso ciates on the committee. Committees on resolutions reported that Kansas railways are not only re fusing to furnish to the union's co operative elevators, cars for grain, but are leasing terminal elevators owned by the railways to big grain corpor ations and furnishing them with cars to move the grain. This condition, they declared forces members of the union to sell wheat to the "trust"' ele vators to meet current expenses when their own elevators are packed full of wheat which cannot be moved because of the railways' refusal to give them cars. All the resolutions recommended by the committees were adopted. Charge Kostralnt of Trade. The members of the union went on record as favoring a closer state aid national organization, declared that they were being imposed upon by or ganized corporate interests, and auth orized the chairman of the investiga tion committee to hire an attorney and go before the governor and the public utilities commission to see if there was not some way that the car situation could be relieved. The members of the association adopted a resolution charging the rail ways with restraint of trade in refus ing cars to the society's co-operative elevators and asked that the legisla ture in its next session pass laws to overcome the evil. The organization endorsed the state jobbing association and its manager, C. S. Walker, and pledged their support to it. As soon as sufficient elevators are" enrolled in the association they recommended that a state manager for the "co-op" grain houses be hired. Managers of seventy "co-op" elevators here yesterday agreed to market their grain, thru one central channel and buy all their supplies in the same way. CHAUTAUQUA FOIl NORTON.

Jump from Bed in Morning and Drink Hot Water Tell why everyone should drink hot water each morning before breakfast. Why is man and woman, half the time, feeling nervous, despondent, worried; some days headachy, dull and unstrung; some days really incapaci tated by illness. If we all would practice inside-bathing1, what a gratifying change would take place. Instead of thousands of half-sick, anaemic-looking souls with pasty, muddy complexions we should see crowds of happy, healthy, rosy cheeked people everywhere. The rea son is that the human system does not rid itself each day of all the waste which it accumulates under our pres ent mode of living. For every ounce of food and drink taken into the sys tem nearly an ounce of waste material must be carried out. else it ferments and forms ptomaine-like poisons which are absorbed into the blood. Just as necessary as it is 10 clean the ashes from the furnace each day, be fore the fire will burn bright and hot. so we must each morning clear the in side organs of the previous day's ac cumulation of indigestible waste and body toxins. Men and women, whether sick or well, are advised to drink each morning, before breakfast, a glass of rvnl hot water with a teuspoouful of limestone phosphate in it, as a harm less means of washing out of the stom ach, liver, kidneys and bowels the in digestible material, waste, sour bile and toxins; thus cleansing, sweeten ing and purifying the entire alimen tary canal before putting more food into the stomach. Millions of people who had their turn at constitpation, bilious attacks, acid stomach, nervous days and sleep less nights have become real cranks about the morning inside-bath. A quarter pound of limestone phosphate will not cost much at the drug store, but is sufficient to demonstrate to anyone, its cleansing, sweetening and freshening effect upon the system.

"The redemption of our land, the reconstruction of Belgium, restitution to France of all her territory, reinte gration of Serbia and the deliverance of Rumanians from the Hungarian yoke are involved in victory of the allies but that is not all," said Leo nida Bessolati-Bergavaschi, minister-without-portfolio, leader of the reform Socialists and member of the cham ber of deputies, speaking at a com memoration of the execution of Dr. Cesare Battisti by the Austrians. "It must also insure the deliverance of Europe and the world from the nightmare which now envelops it," continued the minister, "and will not be gained unless those who have brok en the peace of the world are made powerless to renew their designs. We must break off at the hilt the weapon of barbarous militarism which has been the mainsorinsr of a horrible con spiracy against peace. That weapon is the Austro-Hungarian empire. Austria, Tool of Germany. "Willi that monstrous aggregation of negation and of oppression of all nationalities except uermans ana mag yars exists, imperial Germany can al ways make a tool of it and use its enormous power to obtain vengeance. "This many headed monster must be killed so that from its carcass, races compressed in its artificial unity may spring up, live and be joined to the parent stock. Until that end has been obtained to talk of peace is to serve the cause of peace in tne worst pos sible fashion. Those who talk peace now desire not peace dui an wmwuw in favor of Germany and Austria."

VAWTER NOT GUILTY Jury Exonerates Man Accused of At tack on School Teacher. It took the jury just an hour and forty minutes late Saturday afternoon to reach a verdict of "not guilty" in the Vawter-Curran case. It acquitted Alfred Vawter, the young Shawnee ounty farmer, of the charge of at tempted assault brought against him by Miss Bertha Curran, teacher at the Waveland school. Mi Curran was not in the room when the jury came in at 5:40 o'clock. Few of her friends were there. But Alfred Vawter, his wife, his two littl children, his widowed mother and, many friends were there. There was absolutely no demonstration, due to the forethought of Judge A. W. Dana. When the jury-filed in the foreman handed the verdict to Judge Dana. He looked it over and perhaps uninten tionally "tipped off" its contents by notifying the crowd, composed almost entirely of Vawter s friends and rela tives, that there must be no demon stration. Then the verdict was read. Judge Dana held up his hand for sil ence and everyone sat quietly until ho closed court. Then people made a rush for the Vawters and they made a rush j for the jury. There was much hand- j shaking. x THOMAS JFOR HUGHES Well Known Topeka Democrat De nounces President Wilson. Frank S. Thomas of Topeka, has again denounced President Wilson's administration. This time Thomas at tacks the president's policies permit ting the "Issuance of a three hundred million dollar loan to so-called bank rupt war nations of Europe. At fre- auent intervals during the last few years Thomas has criticised the Wilson administration for it3 policies in hand ling the Mexican situation. Some months ago, when Thomas fired a broadside at the Wilson policy in Mexico, Thomas was asked to re sign as a member of the Shawnee county Democrat committee. The re quest started a bitter fight among members of the committee, but did not check the Thomas criticism of the president. In his most recent state ment Thomas declares the loan to Eu ropean nations cannot and will not be paid on a gold basis. "The chances are," said Thomas, "that all interest that is paid will be by some species of fiat money." DON NEISWANGER HERE Fomer Topekan Now Statistician of New Haven Railway Don M.

THEY WANT A HOME Beloit Mother and Daughter Would Do Household Work. Wanted: a home for a mother and little girl. In a letter to the State Journal to day this plea went out into the world from a woman in Beloit, Kan., who finds herself without employment; no money, and with no place for her and her child to stay. The mother is able and willing to do any kind of common housework in exchange for a place to sleep and food for herself and daughter. The letter in part is as follows: "I wish to get a place as house keeper somewhere where I can keep my little girl. I would like a place for a home as much as anything so if you know of any one that would like to get some help of this kind will you please let me know. "I am neat and can do any kind of common housework, and I am not much of a hand to go." Her name is Mrs. Emma Brum-mage. 25 YEARS AGO IN TOPEKA From Am column o THE TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL October SO. 1891. The Brown and Wiley debate last night drew a good crowd.

GORDON ON POLITICS First Baptist Pastor in Series of "Pre paredness Sermon. Tho Rev. Robert Gordon delivered the first of a series of three sermons on "Political Preparedness" last night in the First Baptist church. The sub ject of his first sermon was "The Nec essity of Keeping Alive the Heroic Spirit in the Republic." He urged the necessity for decisive choice and con viction in political matters. Dr. Gordon said in part: "Mobilization of the spirit is the foremost need of this hour in Amer ica. It is clear as Pike's Peak there must be a revival of genuine patriot ism. Every church should in these strategic days become a recruiting station for those who shall be ready to do disagreeable public duty and to live, and if need be, die for democracy. "The men who founded this nation risked all for their convietions. The signers of the Declaration of Inde pendence knew they would all be hanged if their cause failed. They dared death. This republic cannot survive if that spirit dies out. All that gives us the right to the high name American is blood-stained and can only be preserved by those who are ready to pay a blood tax. "Love of ease, indulgence, personal comfort and safety menace America. There can be no progress without strife. The forces of evil are always aggressive. There is no country, no city that has not within it institutions and men whose hearts are as black as hell. That means a fight if the right is to prevail. God pity us if we he come so effeminate we will not oppose devilish antagonisms. A timid Christ ian is an anachronism; a cowardly American is a monstrosity. "Quit you like men. Think to con clusions. Understand the implications of Christianity and Americanism. Have some convictions. Don't wobble. Nothing could be more contemptible than the creature that everlastingly flutters. Settle down somewhere. Ar rive at a verdict and announce it. Take sides. Stand and stand up. Tou are needed. Outwardly America never was more prosperous but men who weigh their words are saying there has not been a darker hour since Fort Sumpter was fired upon. "Today the best blood in Europe is being poured out in crimson tides. Without murmuring or complaint, men by the million are dying for a great cause. Can any man at this hour fail to hear the summons to sacrificial service, the call to call to dare and do."

The purpose of the Kansas Employ ers' association is to encourage the de velopment of industry and commerce in the state of Kansas. Kansas is pri marily an agricultural state. The in terest of the people has been vested in the development of this great source of wealth. For years she has stood blind to the great possibility of devel oping gr.eat factories and industrial t enterprises lor a more profitable man- J Roy II. Hope, Secretary Kansas Em ployers' Association. ufacture and distribution of the sup ply of raw materials and thereby keep within the borders of the state the fruits of her own product. This in terest in agriculture has resulted in the election, for many years past, of legislators who were not primarily in terested in the use of the surplus funds that are sure to accumulate in the banks of a farming state for factories. Laws have been passed adding needless expense and hindrance to our industrial growth. The hindrance to the growth of in dustries in Kansas in the form of ex cessive insurance, freight and express rates and unfair legislation has brought about the permanent organ ization of the employers of the state known as the Kansas Employers asso ciation. The association was organized at a convention of business men from all over the state last March and since has had a rapid growth. Ira Clemens of the Clemens Coal Co., Pittsburg, is president, W. G. Dickie of the Kaw Paving Co., Topeka, is vice president, H. K. Brooks was temporary secretary until recently Roy H. Hope, of Topeka, formerly with the Farmers National bank, and well known in Washburn college and law school circles was elected perma nent secretary with headquarters in the Mulvane building. "The association wolks In co-operation with twenty-five other organiza tions of its kind in other states," said Mr. Hope today. "The organization of various interests from every in'iustry and from all parts of the state for the common good, will undoubtedly result in an important service and remedy many evils. Thru the strength of these organizations in other states many industries have been promoted and protected and several hundred thousand dollars saved each year to their members. "What Kansas needs more than anything else just now is officers and leaders who are men of integrity and influence who know and care about her industrial development, who can show wherein certain measures are bad and others good, whereby, the legislature can really exert a helpful influence upon business at the same time fully safe-guarding the public, thus conducing to the 'prosperity and well-being of the whole state." SETTLING DOWN NOW Kansas Turning to Hughes Says Mrs. Lila Day Monroe. The "settling down stage" has been reached in the presidential campaign and the swing is toward Hughes in Kansas. That is the judgment of Mrs. Lila Day Monroe of Topeka, who has returned from a trip thru the Fourth district, where 3he met many women and heard expressions of many voters. Last Saturday Mrs. Monroe talked to two large crowds in Burlington, Coffey county. The meetings were old-time Republican revivals and Mr3. Monroe returned to Topeka with new hope and enthusiasm for the cause in this state. "Conditions as I found them were simply fine." declared Mrs. Monroe. "It seems that the settling down stage has been reached and the voters are turning to Hughes ar.d the Republican party. The hysteria about keeping us out of war is not disturbing the wo men as was evident a few weeks ago and I found the trend decidedly to wards Hughes for president." On the train to Burlington one Dem ocrat woman insisted on a poll of the train. 'When the votes were taken," said Mrs. Monroe, "one Republican woman reached over and said she would read I the votes while the Democrat woman kept tally. Of course she couldn't re fuse. So the votes were counted. And of those who voted, sixteen had voted for Hughes, while eight voted for Wil son." EMBARGO IS HOPELESS Bakers Say Flour Would Drop to Nor mal Price, If Chicago, Oct. 30.
