A terrific explo sion at the crent plant of the Kddy utone Ammunition corporation at Ed dystone, Pa., a mile, from this city Is reported to have killol from 1-5 to 50 persons and injured at least 300 more. A railroad official asserts that nearly 300 were killed, but this estimate can not be confirmed. The explosion occurred soon after 10 o'clock in the pellet room of the nhrapnei building1 where about 100 nirlw were employed putting the finish ing touches on shells. In a building adjoining approximately 30.000 were stored. A second explosion demolish ed this building and scattered the shells in every direction. Vso Tabernacle for Hospital. Immediately calls were sent for outside aid and physicians, firemen and police from surrounding towns arrived in great numbers. The build ings in which the explosions occurred caught fire and by strenuous work the flames which burned two hours were confined to the structures. Meanwhile charred bodies were being; pulled from the wreckage and injured persons were being: picked up and taken to Chester, a mile away. The two main hospitals of the city were noon filled and others injured were taken to the Fifth regiment armory and a frame tabernacle recently erect ed here for religious services. No of ficial of the company was found who could tell anything about the ex plosion. There were rumors of a plot to destroy the plant. If there was a plot, no more effective spot could have been selected for the work. It was near the Delaware river and well isolated. The plant was originally construct ed soon after the European war start ed by Baldwin Locomotive interests. Recently it was taken over by the Russian government which has been employing about 10,000 people mak ing shells. Plant Heavily Guarded. The place has been thoroly guarded night and day and after dark im mense searchlights made every por tion of the ground as light as day. In addition secret service men and detectives worked in the various de partments disguised as munitions workers. At the undertaking place of Coroner "White there are eighty bodies, seventy-nine being those of girls. Thousands of girls were employed at the plant, most of these coming from Philadelphia, ten miles away. They were attracted by the high wages paid. lead IN led on Sidewalk. The greatest confusion prevailed. No one id allowed to approach the plant. The trolley line to Eddystone is not running because its wires were de stroyed. The little Chester morgue is filled with bodies and others are piled on the sidewalk. Nine Buildings .Shattered. Probably 200 were injured by the series of mysterious explosions. Nine buildings in section F. with machinery worth millions of dollars, were completely shattered by the ter rific shocks which shook this city like an earthquake. Pracitcally every building in the entire plant was dam aged. The origin of the explosions is be ing investigated this afternoon by a detachment of expert agents sent to the scene by the local branch of the department of justice. The govern ment agents are proceeding on the theory that the explosions were not accidental. Search for Clues. Detectives from this city joined with officials of the company in running town numerous clues to the origin of he explosions. One report, which is crified, said that a man who was un lvT suspicion, was shot when he tried "WAR HORSES" MEET Roosevelt, Billy Sunday and General Wood Lunch Together in X. Y. New York, April 10. "Billy" Sun day, Colonel Theodore Roosevelt and Major General Leonard Wood met here at a luncheon given by John D. Rockefeller jr. No statement was made as to the subjects discussed at the luncheon, but it was said afterward that "Billy" the colonel and General Wood held an earnest conversation in which a concrete plan was made for the evangelist to combine his assault on New York vice with a red hot re cruiting campaign. A number of other men prominent in the news of the day were at the luncheon. BREAK JN PRICES Armour's Advocacy of Food Control Starts Stampede. Wheat Drops and Provisions Take a Big Slump. Chicago, April 10. J. Ogden Ar mour's suggestion of meatless days and government control of foodstuffs was said to have influenced a sensa tional break in prices on the board of trade at the opening today. Part of the initial loss was subsequently re covered. Wheat declined 5 cents and the decline in provisions varied from 55 cents to $1.55. Government supervision and control of food production and food prices are favored by Mr. Armour, one of the leading 'packers and grain dealers of the country. In a statement he also advocated conservation of the feed supply of the nation to the extent of establishing one or two meatless days a week, such as now are in effect in Europe. He urged all farmers to put forth unusual el't'orts to increase the food supply and suggested that the govern ment guarantee to the farmer a mini mum price of $1.50 a bushel for all the wheat he can raise this year. But Hogs Go Higher. The suggestion of meatless days by Mr. Armour was emphasized by the course of the hog market at the open ing today. Choice heavy hogs made a new high record of $16.50, an ad vance of $1.50 in a little more than a week. May wheat, which sold at $2.15 last Saturday added five cents to yester day's decline by dropping to $2.02 on early sales. July sold at $1.80 and September $1.65Ms. July corn declined 5 cents to $1.22. July pork which closed yesterday at $37.35 a barrel de clined $1.55. July lard dropped $1.50 from these previous final figure of $20.50. July ribs lost 55 cents. STEAL $1,000 JEWELRY Hold IJobbers in Wichita Smash Show Window and Help Themselves. Wichita, April 10. Burglars se cured about $1,000 worth of jewelry and watches early this morning after breaking the show window of the Vail jewelry store here. to escape from the scene. Great se crecy, however, involved the activity of the officials and details were re fused. The ground near the plant was so badly torn up that ambulances' could not approach. A heavy pall of smoke hung over the whole district and inter mittent explosions were still occur ring after 1 o'clock this afternoon. Bring Guard of Cadets. The cadet battalion of Pennsylvania Military college at Onester under com mand of Captain Louis S. Morey, Tenth United States cavalry, arrived on the scene this afternoon and immediately took up guard duty about the plant at the request of Eddystone authori ties. The boys were armed with ri fles. Captain Walter Wilhelm, manager and vice-president of the Eddystone plant, this afternoon said: "AH departments of the Eddystone ammunition works will resume opera tions tomorrow morning with the ex ception of the box, packing and base charging departments. All depart ments including these will resume work on April 24." Mako 2,500.000 Shells. New York. April 10. Baldwin lo comotive officials here said the plant is being operated by the Anglo-Russian commission which has been sup ervising shell contracts. The com mission took charge when the Eddy stone Munitions company failed to make satisfactory deliveries. The Baldwin company has a proprietary interest In the plant. The plant originally had a contract to deliver 2.500,000 complete shrapnel shells to the Russian government. When the commission took over the plant only 50.000 had been actually delivered and it is not believed recon struction has progressed to a point where many more than that have been completed.

REPORT BRAZIL GUTS RELATIONS First Definite Information Pub lished in England. Rupture Tot Announced Yet at Rio Janeiro. BUT INTENTION IS ADMITTED Reconstruction of Brazil Cabi net Is Under Way, Nation Tense Preparing for lVar With Germany. London, April 10. Diplomatic re lations between Brazil and Germany have been broken off. according to the Evening News. Switzerland will take charge of Brazilian interest at Berlin. Rio Janeiro, April 10. The official report of the sinking of the Brazilian steamship Parana which the govern ment has been awaiting before taking definite action toward Germany Is be lieved to have been received today from the legation in Paris. It is ex pected the government this afternoon will sever relations with Germany. It is learned from a reliable source that a reconstruction of the cabinet was discussed at the last council of the ministers. It is proposed that the present administration chiefs should resign in a body as soon as relations are broken with Germany. Confirm XJ-Boat Attack. President Braz's decision to break with Germany, followed a formal re port from the Brazilian minister in Paris corroborating in full the story of the captain of the Brazilian steamer Parana as to the circumstances of the sinking of that vessel by a German U-boat. Every detail of the original story. including the unwarned attack, the firing of shells on the sinking vessel, the deaths of three Brazilians by the explosion of the torpedo and the twelve hours of suffering in open boats endured by the survivors, many of them wounded, was said to have been fully confirmed It was expected that Switzerland would assume charge of the Brazilian interests in Berlin. Speed Up Naval Defense. Minister of Marine Alencar today ordered a speeding up in Brazil's naval preparations and great activity in na tional defense was otherwise indicat ed. But the official, governmental hope is that there need not be an actual War declaration following the diplomatic rupture, unless Germany gives additional provocation. The public, on the other hand, to day apparently regarded the dip lomatic break as purely a preliminary step to the war. HOT SUMMER WEATHER Mercury W'lll Reach Close to Record In Kansas Tomorrow.

Consul Washington at Liverpool re porting the incident to the state de partment today, says: The American liner New York struck a mine at 7:40 p. m. last night, five miles off Liverpool bar.

She carried a naval crew of gunners and w,as armed. The ship's crew of 234 men included 144 Ameri cans. The New York is a steel screw steamer of 10,799 tons built in 1888 by J. G.

The New York was the third armed passenger ship of the American Line to sail. The St. Louis, the first, returned yesterday. The St. Paul is now on the other side. The New York carried seven Ameri cans. Her passenger list included 15 first, 22 second and 21 third class passengers. Passengers on the American liner St. Louis, just arrived, brought word of the extraordinary German activity and daring in sowing mines off the entrance to Liverpool harbor. It is to one of these that the New York must have fallen victim, since she was prob ably proceeding under pilot at the time she was struck and the British pilots are carefully appraised of the location or tne British mine lieiof. Capture a Mine Sower. Passengers on the St. Lou's told of how hundreds of German mines had been scattered just before the St. Louis sailed on her outbound trip by a dingy little Norwegian steamer. British patrol ships finally decided the Norwegian was suspicious, over hauled her, found mines aboard and according to reports, promptly took the captain and crew ashore for exe cution. The mine sweepers under control of the British admiralty swept the chan nel clean of these menaces to navi gation several days ago but the Ger mans have perfected a submarine mine layer and have succeeded in re leasing flowing packs of explosive undetected. The favorite German trick heretofore has been to release a large number of floating mines at that time when the tide will sweep them in toward the inner harbors and into the deep channels. It was stated here that so strongly is the New York built in the construc tion of its bulkheads that whenever a plate is removed for repair purposes it has to be dynamited and to this strength is attributed the small dam age caused by the mine. T. R. LAYS PLAN TO RAISE ARMY BEFORE WILSON Meets President by Appoint ment at White House. Executive Takes Eoosevelt Of fer Under Advisement. WANTS TO FIGHT IN FRANCE Expedition To Be Under Regu lar Army Command. Colonel Strongly Approves Uni versal Service. "Washington, April 10. Colonel Roosevelt called on President Wilson at the White House today and was received in the executive mansion. Colonel Roosevelt was accompanied by his daughter, Mrs. Nicholas Long worth. Colonel Roosevelt laid his plan for raising a division of troops for foreign service before the president. He con ferred with the president half an hour and said the president had listened carefully, but had not given a de cision, as to whether he would con sent to the colonel's plan. After his talk with the president, Colonel Roose velt made it clear that his plan was not designed to interfere, in any way with the administration's plan for rais ing an army on the principle of uni versal liability to service. When Colonel Roosevelt left the White House he waved his hat enthusiasti cally to a large group of waiting cor respondents and shutting off questions began to dictate the following state ment. Tells of His Visit. "I came here desiring to see the president personally to reiterate what I had already said about his message to congress and to lay before him in detail and explain just what I desir ed to have his direction to do in con nection with my division and why it was my earnest hope and belief that it would be well that I should have the authorization to raise such a di vision to be sent as part of an ex peditionary force to France at an early moment. "The division and myself, of course, would be put under the command of whoever was at the head of the ex peditionary force. "The president received me with the utmost courtesy and consideration and doubtless in his own due time will come to a decision in connection with the division." After announcing his intention of seeing Daniel Willard. chairman of the advisory commission of the national defense council, and congressional leaders, the former president made a brief statement to explain his posi tion toward universal training. Chooses Men Over 25. "I am heart and soul for the prin ciple of universal military training," he said. "I would favor it if its aim were to raise three million men. I am for both universal obligatory training and service. Call it conscription and I will say yes. You cannot frighten me by any name. "The division that I ask permission to raise would be made up of men who would not be taken under con scription, they would be over 25 years of age or of excepted class under 25 who would eagerly enlist to go to the front, but who could not be expected to leave their dependent upon them unless they expected active service." In the midst of his statement Col onel Roosevelt turned to Secretary Tumulty and said: "If I say anything I should not, be sure to censor it. I'm already under orders. Colonel Roosevelt slapped Tumulty on the back and remarked, "He might get him." MARTIAL LAW ON Guatemala Acts to Suppress Rioting Along Border. Tentacles of German Intrigue Beaching Out From Mexico.

His Assertions Big Surprise of the Murder Trial. WIFE CAUSED THE SHOOTING She Threw Her Arms Around Husband to Stop Him. That Made His Gun Go Off, Attorney Claims. "W. E. Atchison, attorney for Ezra Cooper, sprung a sensation in the dis trict court today when he labeled the shooting of Burt F. Hunt by Cooper when Cooper found him under his bed, as "purely accidental. It was a brand new defense in the Cooper case and was totally unexpected by Robert Garver and Hugh Fisher, at torneys for the state. Robert Garver came right back at Atchison by asking the court, in view of the statement of the attorney for the defense, to rule but all testimony relative to the character of Hunt, all the testimony relative to previous trouble between the two men, all tes timony, relative to alleged relations between Hunt and Mrs. Cooper. That is tjhe question now up to Judge A. W. Dana. He took it under advisement and dismissed the jury for a time. The state's evidence was all in. It had produced every possible witness to show that Ezra Cooper intentionally shot Burt Hunt and that the shooting led to Hunt's death, Mr., Atchison made the statement for the defense, previous to the examination of wit nesses. He asked that Mrs. Hunt be permit ted to leave the room in view of the fact that he expected to be forced to say things about her dead husband she would not desire to hear. She did not move. He spoke to the court about it and to the attorneys for the state but Mrs. Hunt stayed beside the long table and heard every word of the statement in which the alleged re lations betwen her husband and Mrs. Cooper were outlined. Told of Old Trouble. He told of trouble Cooper and Hunt had had previously; he declared that Cooper knew of relations between his wife and Hunt and had warned Hunt to stay away from his house. "On this particular morning," he said, "Hunt came to the Cooper home and said he had made a mistake in reading the gas meter and she let him in. He caught her by the wrists and suggested that they go into a bed room. She told him relations be tween them were all off but he con tinued to drag her towards the bed. Just then she happened to glance through a window and saw her hus band driving up to the house. "She told Hunt her husband was coming and told him to leave. He said nothing in reply and ran into another room where the children slept and crawled under the bed. Cooper came in, greeted his wife and noticed she was extremely nervous. He asked her what was the matter and she evaded the question. He went down into the basement and returned with a crowbar. "She was still nervous and he again insisted upon knowing what was both ering her He became suspicious and looked into the other room. He even looked under the bed. There was no one there, but he thought he heard a noise in the children's room, and go ing in there he saw two feet sticking out from the foot of he bed. "He returned to the kitchen where his wife was almost in hysterics. 'What is that under the bed? he demanded. 'It's Hunt,' she replied. Cooper walked to the door and took down a shotgun hanging over it. In the meantime, Mrs. Cooper, desiring to avoid a shooting, went into the other room and told Hunt to get out before her husband shot him. He started to leave and Cooper came to the door. As Hunt started off the porch Cooper had the shotgun under his arm, cock ed, with his finger on the trigger. How Accident Happened. "Mrs. Cooper thought he was going to shoot and ran to throw her arms around her husband. 'For God's sake don't shoot, she cried and threw her arms around his arms. "The force of her arm against his arm pulled the trigger, the gun was discharged and the charge struck Hunt in the leg. Cooper .did not intend to shoot Hunt. He could have shot and killed him then If he had wanted to. (Continued on Page Two.) GETS FARM LOAN NO. 1 Pawnee County Farmer Is First in on New Federal System. Washington. April 10. To A. L.

Washington, April 10. Col. Theo dore Roosevelt, who reached Wash ington unheralded at midnight and went to the home of his daughter. Representative L.OTigworth's wife, would not discuss this morning th ob ject of his hurried visit. He had no plans for the morning it was stated, but might have something to say in the afternoon. Colonel Roosevelt's desire to take a force of American soldiers to France is believed to be the object of his visit. It was thought probable he would see President Wilson and Secretary Baker. BIG DINNER READY! Military Enthusiasm Bally at C. of C. Tonight. Stimson Coudert Wolcott, Three-Ring Attraction. Universal military training, such as is provided for in a bill now before congress, is the only successful method of building an army to compare with thoseof Europe with whom the Unit ed States must compete since her step into war with Germany. Such was the opinion expressed today by Hen ry Li. Stimson, former secretary of war. Mr. Stimson, accompanied by Fred erick R. Coudert, a prominent New York attorney, and Frederick C. Wol cott, a New York banker, arrived in Topeka this afternoon and will deliv er addresses at the Chamber of Com merce this evening on universal mili tary training. Preceding the speaking a big ban quet will be served, beginning at 6:30 o'clock. The three men are represen tatives of the National Security League and are making a tour of the west to awaken the people to the necessity of a universal military training bill. A special invitation has been issued to the women to attend. C. L. Mitchell; vice-president of the Chamber of Com merce, will preside. -v. Statements made on the subject of military training today by the former secretary of war correspond with those appearing in the current num ber of Scribner's magazine in which Mr. Stimson has written an extended article on "The Basis for National Military Training." Militia System a Failure. "This country is again confronted with the problem of its military de fense arainst invasion," said Mr. Stim son. "The militia system relied upon in the National Defense Act of last June has been shown to have sub stantially broken down under the test of the Mexican mobilization. More than thirty months after the outbreak of the European war, with all its ter rible lessons, we have still to lay the statutory foundations of a proper sys tem of land defense. The situation is now further complicated by the rup ture with Germany. "From the standpoint of our mili tary history there is no more clearly established fact than the failure of the volunteer system. The United States has not yet warred with a first class power free to devote its entire attention to them. Nevertheless, In our wars the system has regularly broken down. During the Civil war both sides were forced to use the draft the South within a year and the North shortly thereafter. Even 'in our little war with Spain the full quota of volunteers called for by the president was never obtained. "The failure last summer of re cruits toappear when called for by the president to meet a national emer gency, altho over a million citizens were parading and shouting them selves hoarse for preparedness, is merely the latest incident of what has been a practically unbroken rec ora in our nistory. No Military Tcnlcnc-3'. "There can be no more curious in version of fact than the fear that universal military training makes na tions more likely to go to war. Such training has, on the contrary, been the very means by which the profes sional soldier the man who spends his lile in planning and think ing about war is reduced to the low est possible number in the community. Under the old system such profes sionals constituted the entire army, and their presence in the nation con stituted a disturbing element whose aims and ambitions were at variance with those of their fellow citzens. Un der the new system their place is tak en by men who learn the art of na tional defense as part of their regular education and then, after the period of training is over, at once become merged in the general citizenship of the nation. "In short, I can see no valid objec tion to the establishment of the sys tem in this country. It would be a vast undertaking: it would be. in som respects, revolutionary to habits of thought. But the consensus of thought ful men at present is that we need such" a revolution of thought, not only in respect to our methods of defense bat in respect to the mearure of in dividual duty which we owe in gen eral to our institutions and our re public."

SWEEP GERMANS FROM HILLS AND CAPTURE 15,000 Extent of British Victory Con tinues to Grow. Seize German Stronghold on Vimy Heights. ENGLAND ELATED BY NEWS Prepared Defense Succumbs Quickly to British Guns. Terrific Battle Continues Along With the British Armies Afield, April 10. There is every reason to believe by tonight the great British smash will have r.ctted Field Marshal Haig 15,000 prisoners and between fifty and one hundred guns. The driving force of the great offen sive was undiminished today even with bitter opposition from the enemy. While these figures are unofficial they are based on careful estimates and calculations. The British have advanced to a. point four miles to the east of Arraa and have stormed four systems of trenches along the north bank of the Scarpe to Briond which were famous for their boasted strength. Clear Outlying Defenses. To the south of the Scarpe today the British were facing the last system of the German-line, which is nearly op posite the famous "Hindenl urg line." From this point the fighting front runs by Feuchy Capelle to the east to Neu ville Vitasse and southwardly. All along in this section the troops art now facing the Uindenburg defenses. The fighting has not slackened in the slightest degree today. The troops are immensely pleased to be moving again after the inaction of trench, warfare. The "spring offensive" comes, odd ly enough, in the coldest April weath er in fifty years: to the accompani ment of a gale of blowing snow and sleet which bites stlnglngly into the faces of men but fails to dampen their spirits. March to American Ragtime. When the "push" started one could hear thousands marching thru the blackness of the night singing and joking. The Canadian divisions, be it known, stepped along to the lively music of American rag time. Prisoners continued to pour back of the lines today most of them Wurtemburgers, Hamburgers and Bavarians. They appealed quite cheerful even the many officers in the bunch. Monday Battle Nets 9,000. London, April 10. It is officially reported that the British forces cap tured over 9.000 prisoners and more than forty guns in yesterday s oper ations. Near St. Quentin the Ger mans have been driven from the high ground between Le Verguler -and Hargicourt. Fighting continues along the entire front. The British have seized the village of Fampoux and the neighboring de tenses north and south of the Scarp river. The Germans made a strong attack on a narrow front southeast of Ypres and reached the British support lines. They were driven from the British; trenches by a counter attack. Heavy fighting took place last night on the northern end of the Vimjr ridge, from which the Germans were drives. The eastern slope was also cleared. Stirs New Hope in England.

Kennedy, nthletic director cf Washburn college, does not believe the wur will interfere with intercol legiate athletics in Kansas to any preat extent. He does not believe any branch of sport will be abandoned and Bays few schools or teams will suffer because of the scrap with Germany. "In the case of Washburn," Doctor Kennedy said, "most of our boys are under the age limit that is, most of our under classman are and there is no reason why they should give up their physical training because some cf their companions join the colors. "Washburn will do her part, as will ail the other schools of the state, but even :f every available man sues there will still be enough Mudents left to con tinue our sports." Xooil Training Now. The Old Fox of the Ichabods be lieves that if there ever was a timf when the schools and colleges should devote all possible attention to phys ical trainins it is now. He holds that the boys who do no will be benefited by what training Ihey can get before leavins. and that if the war lasts und those who are now too young finally have to shoulder uns they will make better soldiers if they are physically fit and harderfed than they would if allowed to loaf and prow soft. No changes have been made in "Washburn's spring track plans, and the suike Hhoed enthusiasts are plan ning to give a good account of them-J selves in the meets they attend. ine interclass meet will be held April 21. anil then there will probably be a meet every week until the closing of school. Qiiadi angular Sleet. A nuudranular meet in which Baker. Washburn. Ottawa and Haskeli i will participate is being arranged by the Haskell authorities for May 5, and it seems likely that all schools in vited will glp.dly take part. It has not been definitely decided whether or not Washburn will send represen tatives to the Drake meet at Des Moines, Vint Coach Kennedy says this may not be done unless some of the men make a good showing in the near future. The baseball plans have apparently been dropped at the school, and no spring football practice has yet been decided upon. "We have been plan ning football practice," Dr. Kennedy announced, "but since the students have been so upset over the war noth ing definite has been done."

F. shops. 125 cash $11.16 a month. Each dollar pays for your home. BY JACK VEIOCK. New York, April 10. With the ex ception of Jack Barry, at Boston, play ing managers have passed from the major leagues, and Barry does not expect to continue as a player many seasons. Cnristy Mathewson, according to re ports from Cincinnati may try out his trusty wing in a few games for the Reds this year, but Christy can hardly be classed as a playing manager, for he is practically thru as a pitcher. So the big league clubs, with Barry's exception, are sporting bench mana gers, and most of the clubs in the three big minor leagues have followed suit. A glance at the managerial rosters of the International league, thv Amer ican association and the Pacific Coast league reveals the fact that there are but six playing managers left i- Class AA company. .Minors Changing, Too. In Ed Barrow's circuit Larry Lajote, at Toronto, Pan Howley. at Montreal, and Mike Doolan, at Rochester, are the only managers wl o will piay ball this season. Pat Donovan, at Buffalo: Tom Xeedham, at Newark; Billy Smith, at Richmond; Jack Dunn, at Baltimore, and Jack Egan, at Provi dence, will manage from the bench. Joe Tinker, now manager of the Columbus club of the American asso ciation, and Roger Bresnahan, the Iron Duke of Toledo, are the only pilots in Tom Hickcy's circuit who wiii don the spangles. Tinker announced when he took over the Columbus club that he would occupy the hot corner for his team, and Bresnahan will catch a few games for Toledo and may fill in now and the when one of his outfielders needs a rest. Many Bench Skippers. In the Pacific Coast league George Stovall. newly appointed manager of the Vernon club, will take picks on the offerings of the pitchers as first sack er for his entry in Al Baum's pennant chase. Frank Chance, of Los Angeles; Harry olverton. of San Francisco; Del Howard, of Oakland; Bill Bern hard, of Salt Lake, and yalter Mc Credie. of Portland, are all bench skippers. The American association managers who boss the boys from the shelter of the bench are Bill Clymer, Louisville: John Ganzel, Kansas City; Danny Shay, Milwaukee; Jack Hendricks, In dianapolis: Mike Kelley. St. Paul, and Joe Cantillon, Minneapolis. Playing managers, according to the belief of most club owners, do not get the same results as the manager who directs a team from the bench. In addition to the worries of managing a club they have the worries of playing as well. So the playing manager, we tind. is just about as scarce as hen molars. WIN OPENING GAME St. Marys Players Take Ottawa Into Camp by 2 to 1 Score. St. Marys. Kan., April 10. The lo cals ushered in their 1917 baseball season by defeating Ottawa 2 to 1. It was a hard fought pitchers' duel, un til the sixth when Ottawa shoved over the first run upon a succession of er rors. The St. Marys team came back desperately in the eighth and staged a hard rally. Successive walks by the Ottawa pitcher gave St. Marys men two runs and cinched the game. Flock and Riordan pitching for the locals starred and Fogleman for the visitors. The batteries: St. Marys. Riordan, Flock and Devitt; Ottawa: Fogelman, Peterson, Barnes. New Tork, April 10. Everything except the weather is set today for baseball season tomorrow. As for the weather it's best not to inter view any baseball magnate on that subject. Some very, very cold snow was doing the honors today at Ebbets' field and the Polo Grounds in New York and at Braves' field in Boston. Conditions were little better in Phila delphia. President Tener of the National league today announced his umpire assignments for the opening of the series and then sat right quiet to see if his luck is good. O'Day and Brans field are scheduled for Brooklyn; Byron and Quigley at Boston: Klem and Emslle at Chicago; Rigler and Orth at Cincinnati. Postpone First Gaines. The weather in these parts is a serious menace to opening the season. Unless it turns warmer it will be im possible to play baseball. Of course, there is the chance that spring will do a comeback. It turned cold in a day and that is sufficient indication that the weather can also turn warm in a day. The Brooklyn Dodgers will get into the pennant race a bit stronger than they appeared Monday. Mike Mow rey, third baseman last year, has ac cepted terms and will report at once for duty. Mike is becoming veteran ized to a considerable extent, but he still is a better third baseman than any man who now draws an Ebbets pay check. He will supplant Ivan Olson, who has been trying valiantly to retain a place as a Dodger regular. Lavern Fabrique already has shoved Olson out of the way at short stop. HERMAN T. CROW DEAD Former Topcka Baseball Magnate Killed In an Anto Accident. Herman T. Crow, one of Topeka's early baseball magnates, is dead at San Diego, Cal., as a result of in juries received in an automobile acci dent a few days ago. Old friends of Crow received this news today. Crow was well known by sport lov ers and baseball fans in Topeka. In the early days of organized baseball here he was one of the backers of the city's Western association club. He was a partner of Dick Cooley. After selling out here he moved to Seattle, where he opened one of the finest pool halls on the Pacific coast. He prospered on the coast and moved to National City a few years ago, where he bought a fine raneh. He had recently bought a new automo bile and was driving from San Diego to National City when the accident oc curred. Crow is survived by a wife and two children. STECHER LOSES BOUT Caddoek Wins Fall and Ncbraskan Refuses to Continue Match. Tigers Defeat the Aggies. Manhattan, Kan., April 10. The baseball team of the university of Missouri defeated the Kansas Aggies here 1 1 to 3. It was the opening con test of the Missouri valley conference season. Food for Fans BY GEO. E. PHA1B.

Milwaukee, April 3. Dear Food: postage stamp, to be used as the nucleus of a fund to erect a monu- I ment to Bob La Follette in Potsdam. A. FINK. Omaha, Neb., April 10. Earl Caddoek, of Anita, Iowa, former na tional amateur wrestling champion, was given a decision here over Joe Stecher, of Dodge, Neb., claimant to the world's heavyweight champion ship, after Stecher refused to wrestle for the third fall. Caddoek won the second fall in 1:40:10, with a full Nel son. Stecher won the first fall in 1:22:51, with a scissors 'hold and hammer lock. Stecher did not state why he re fused to continue the match. WEEK DAY PRACTICE ELK CO. OIL BOOMING Many Wells Are Now Being Sunk in Vicinity of Howard. Howard, Kan., April 10. Elk coun ty is one of the busiest portions of the state and during the last four months Hazelett West have completed 27 wells all of which are producers. This pay sand is from 27 to 30 feet tnicK and is found from 600 to 650 feet deep. Many new locations have been made but the operators are unable to get the tools and materials to drill their tests and the water situation is still a serious problem. LaDough Strickler drilled thru a good 30 feet of sand and got about a hi. -million gaser at 1680 feet, the bit hit the Mississippi lime at 1727 feet, went into the lime about a half a screw and struck such a strong flow of gas that compelled the drillers to stop lor further preparations. Experts say this well when drilled in will make from 5.000,000 to 8.000,000 feet per day. This solves the fuel problem in this field and will greatly encourage fur ther developments. Severy Fall River Oil Gas Co., are putting up rig and will be drilling by May 1. The Charles W. Bliss Oil Gas Co., of Tulsa, Okla., is putting down a test well and will drill several other wells in this locality. The Producers Oil Gas Co., of Tulsa, Okla., has a corps of geologists working in 29-11 mapping preparatory for selecting locations for two deep test wells and the Carter Oil Gas Co., has located for a deep test and will have a standard rig up by May 15. The Kansas City Oil Gas Co., is drilling on the R. C. Patterson lease. HITS INSURANCrTcO'S. Big Companies Attach War Riders to Policies Now. New York, April 10. War riders are being attached to life insurance policies by nearly all life insurance companies. Some of these cancel policies immediately on information that the insured has joined the navy or army for war service: others speci fy an additional premium, with re-1 strictions of payment in event of the death of the insured. The Aetna stipulates that if the in- sured engages in any aeronautical or submarine expedition within two years of the rider's date, the policy shall immediately become void. Naval or army service outside the United States in wartime will call for an additional premium. "the Travelers will revoke the clause relating to permanent total disability if the insured engages in war service any time within ten years of the rider's date. The Mutual Benefit announced to day its policy would, hereafter con tain a clause exacting ten per cent additional premiums for new policy holders engaged in army or navy ser vice throughout the United States. Men engaging in military work in this country will not be affected. Men in Red Cross or hospital work will be allowed to take out endow ment policies of 92,000 each. No outstanding policy is affected by the Mutual Benefit's ruling. 6-DAY CLEANUP AT K. C. t: i Boy Scouts to Superintend City Beau tiful Crusade. t The Topeka Greys Working Hard for Opening Game Sunday. The members of the Topeka Grey baseball team will practice Wednes day evening at 6 o'clock, and all play ers are urged to ettend promptly. The management is -anxious to have the team get as much work as possible t.n preparation for the opening of the sea son next Sunday with the Oakland team. Manager Jaenicke announces that Millie Johnson, formerly a star Grey pitcher, has signed up again and he will probably start Sunday's opener. Hartford to Des Moines. Chicago, April 10. Bruce Hartford, White Sox recruit and aspirant for shortstop position on the South side club, has been released to the Des Moines team of the Western league. ADDITIONAL SPORT WILL BE FOUND ON OTHER PAGES We arise to protest against the numbering of ball players. The athletes in time would lose their identity and the sport would degen erate into a crap game. For instance, you are in the stand watching a close game. Four, five and six are on the bases and the score is tied. Up comes seven, swinging his bat. You arise from your seat and yell: "Come on you seven! Come on you seven!" And a stranger in the next seat nudges you and says: "A dollar you don't seven." Knowledge is not absolutely neces sary to happiness. We don't know how the Browns and Cards came out and yet we don't feel a darn bit de pressed. The bout between Fred Fulton and Carl Morris was a queer affair. The queerest part of it was that a good many people p&id regular money to see it. Whaddayameaa Boxing Two great big rougbnecka, bone beneath the thatch. Stand up and butt each other on the eye. And yet they call tbe mess a boxing match. I wonder why? "Color," writes Christy Mathew son, "is what they want in baseball, and plenty of it. Rube Foster is ready to furnish all the color baseball requires." DIXIE, NATL WAR SONG Discuss Congressional Action to Sub It for Star Spangled Banner. Washington, April 10. "Dixie" for the national war song! Several members of congress are considering introducing a resolution making "Dixie" a national air with congressional endorsement to supple ment "America" which they say is English and the "Star Spangled Ban ner" which some say is too hard to sing. "Uncle Joe" Cannon says Dixie al ready is a national anthem. Repre sentative Heflin, Alabama, favors a resolution making it so. Representa tive McCormick. Illinois, thinks there ought to be a country-wide vote on it. Senator Phelan. California, would offer a prize for the best music by which to popularize "The Star Span gled Banner." PRESCRIPTION SPECIALISTS Ask Tour Doctor About Us DRUGS AND TOILET GOODS Tbe Modern Drug Store CCT-KATE 500 West 10th. Telephone 450. Free Delivery Kansas City, Mo., April 10. The six days commencing April 28 have been, designated as "clean-up" week here' and civic organizations are co-operating with municipal authorities in ef forts to have citizens haul away rub bish, set their yards and homes in or der, and beautify the city in every manner possible. The first day will be for house cleaning. As in previous years, the Boy Scouts are expected to take an active part in the work: They will be assigned in squads to various sections and will vis it every home, requesting that trash be removed. The tire department will act similarly, as it has been pointed out that the hauling away of trash does much to eradicate the fire men ace. More than seventeen organizations already have announced willingness to aid in the work. Circulars setting forth what should be accomplished will be distributed broadcast thruout the city, one of the plans being to have grocery and other stores send them out to homes with the delivery of parcels. GERMANS ARE LOYAL Citizens of Walnut Had Big Patriotic Sleeting at School. "Walnut, Kan., April 10. The people of Walnut observed Loyalty day by means or a largely attended meeting at the school auditorium. The school children had a program of -music and readings appropriate to the occasion, after which J. Q. Stratton of Erie, de- ivered an address. Mr. Sratton advo cated universal military training as the best means of meeting the conditions now existing, but at the same time urged his hearers to remain calm and not become impatient if the national government is not able to bring the war to a sucessful close as soon as some of the papers seem to think it should do. The building was crowded by an audience which gave excellent atten tion. Many failed to gain admission. Among the rest were noticed many Germans whose loyalty is no more to be questioned than is that of those of other nationalities. All the busi ness houses were closed during the exercises. WASHBURN AND ENLISTMENT. Efforts to Ridicule College Status Unjust. To an old Washburnite who knows how blue Washburn blue really is, the open ridicule of Washburn's conserva tive policy by the Battery A ad in Sunday's Capital, is an unjustified at titude for the Battery to take. The men on the Hill are weighing facts in the balance and when an intelligent decision is reached there will be no aftermath of regrets which would re sult from hasty action. Some of the men. according to the muster roll, have already offered their services to the country. J. R. McCosh, a senior and promin ent athlete is said to have enlisted. The Hill is well represented in Phil Billard's Aerial corps. There are five men in its roll including the president of one of the classes. The college is calmly working on a plan that will give the students training and keep them in school until they are needed for actual field ser vice. With these fact: before us, the readers of the Capital and friends of Washburn will be relieved of the im pression that the college is holding back from any lack of courage or pat- This store opens at 8:30 and closes at 6:00 Order, by Phone or by Matt.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL TUESDAY EVENINGAPRIL 10, 191r PRICES jSJEADIER 'ear Food Panic Is Averted in Topeka Today. Local Jobbers Ease Up on the Sugar Situation. INDICATIONS OF A CORNER Manipulators Take Turn at In fluencing Market. Government Control of Prices the Only Solution. Foodstuff prices were steadier to day following: Monday's panic on the floor of Topeka grocery stores. The sugar situation, while still critical, was slightly Improved. Topeka job bers quoted prices this morning of S8.70 a hundred pounds for Leet sugar end $8.80 a hundred pounds for cane sugar. Jobbers today reported a small sup ply of cane sugar on hand and it Is with this amount that they expect to steady the Topeka market urtil a com plete recovery of the commodity is registered. In order to make the small supply so as fsr as possible, they are selling only ten sacks o day to retailers. There is no beet sugar on hand in Topeka jobbing houses and other than the ten sacks of cane sugar n day the Jobbers are refusing orders for advance delivery. Corner on Market? Evidence that there is manipulation of the sugar market by controlling dealers In the east was poll. ted out to day by a Topeka retailer. The cost of raw sugar is $6.05 a hundred. For years $1.40 a hundred has been recog nized as the standard difference be tween the cost of the raw product and tho refined commodity. This would bring d'stributors' prices to $7.45 a hundred. In making his assertion that the market is being manipulated, the dealer produced a trade paper which showed one New York distribu tor was quoting a price of $7.50 a hun dred pounds but was taking only lim ited orders. Another distributor in the same city is quoting a price of $S 25 a hundred for the same quality of the commodity and accepting all the orders he can get. Quotations made by the two houses a short time ago showed the distributor now selling for $7.45 was selling for a much high er price and placing no limitations on the volume of orders. The distributor now selling for $8.28 was selling for $7.45. These two dealers are among those con trolling the market. They have been witching prices for some time, al wavs alternately as other dealers con trolling the market are doing, thereby avoiding being charged with being in a combine to hike the cost of the product. Take Tliclr Turns. "In other words," said the retailer after pointing out the alternating prices of the two meg. "these men are taking turns at manipulating for higher prices and making the con sumer dig up. The department of Justice has taken no steps to stop high prices. True the department has staged several farcical investiga t ons but such probes resemble the tail-end act in a 10-cent vaudeville show. A government commission to regulate prices is the only chance the consumer has to obtain relief." The jobbing price of beet sugar in Topeka today was $1.20 higher than the price at which the mills are dis tributing It and is $2.65 higher than the price of the unrefined v product. The price paid beet growers in Colo rado and Kansas has not been ad vanced by the mills to any great ex tent. Growers in Kansas and Colo rado did not receive, on an average. LEMONS BRING OUT THE HIDDEN BEAUTY Maks this lotion for very little coat and Juat see for yourself. J An attractive skin wins admiration. In social life and in business the girl or woman whose face and hands show evidence of constant care enjoys a tre mendous advantage over those who do not realize the value of a healthy skin and a spotless complexion. At the cost of a small jar of ordinary cold cream one can prepare a full quar ter pint of the most wonderful lemon skin softener and complexion beauti fier, by squeezing the juice of two fresh lemons into a bottle containing three ounces of orchard white. Care should be taken to strain the juice through a fine cloth so no lemon pulp, gets in, then this lotion will keep fresh for months. Every woman knows that lemon juice is used to bleach and remove such blemishes as freckles, sallowness and tan, and is the ideal skin softener, smoothener and beau tifier. Just try It! Get three ounces of orchard white at any pharmacy and two lemons from the grocer and make up a quarter pint of this sweetly fra grant lemon lotion and massage it daily into the face, neck, arms and hands. It naturally should help to soften, freshen, bleach and bring out the roses and beauty of any skin. Advertisement.

(Assistant Secretary of Agriculture; member National Emergency Food Garden Commission.) (Written for Topeka State Journal.) Washington, April 10. Cornmeal is a cheap and valuable food stuff which is not in as general use in the Ameri can home as it ought to be. A pound of dry cornmeal provides about five times as much energy and tissue building protein as does a pound of raw potatoes. Just now a pound of cornmeal costs one-third to one-sixth as much. When potatoes are scarce or ex pensive, cornmeal makes an excellent substitute. It is not however, a per fect substitute for potatoes because, as it is prepared by modern milling methods, it contains fewer minerals and other valuable substances. So when cornmeal is substituted, balance it with another vegetable, a salad or a fruit. Costs Less Than Rice. Cornmeal mush for breakfast or supper is a standard and palatable dish. Fried, it is an excellent sub stitute for fried potatoes. There are dozens of cornmeal dishes in addition to the various varieties of cornbread. What is known in the north as Bos to i brown bread is composed of about one-half rye meal and one-half corn meal. Polenta is another cornmeal dish extremely popular thruout south ern Europe and in certain parts of the United States. Tamales is another corn dish in high favor when proper ly made. If speculators corner the potato crop, or as was the case in 1916, if the potato crop should be short, corn meal is the next best thing. Rice is a partial substitute for potatoes, but rice now costs more than cornmeal. Cornmeal is very wholesome. $307,000 ALIMONY Mrs. Cunningham Gets Divorce From Aged Joplin Financier in Chicago. Chicago April 10. Mrs. Zoe Wil kins Cunningham, former Denver os teopath, before her marriage to Thomas W. Cunningham, Joplin, Mo banker, has been granted a divorce here. With the decree went the agreement that Mrs. Cunningham was to receive $407,000 of her former hus band's fortune. The Cunninghams attracted atten tion here in February, when the bridegroom, while on his honeymoon, was served with subpoena in a $500, 000 breach of promise suit instituted by Mrs. Tabitha Taylor, 71, of Joplin. Cunningham is 74 years old and his bride under 30. HEINRICH CONCERT Miss Julia Heinrich, American so prano, and Mr. Rudolph Polk, violin ist, gave a concert Monday evening at the high school auditorium, in con junction with an Edison phonograph, demonstrating the merits of the ma chine in reproducing tones. The con cert was given by Crosby Brothers' company to demonstrate the excel lence of the machine, and was compli mentary to the musical people of the city. The house was filled to capacity. The numbers given were classical songs that have come into wide popu larity by means of the reproducing machines that are making good music familiar to all classes of people. The scheme of making a public demonstration of the qualities of the machine is an ingenious one. Miss Heinrich. who is a singer with the Metropolitan company of New Tork. sang with her own record, producing a one voice duet. It was necessary for her to lessen the volume of her voice m singing with the record in order not to drown out the reproduction of the song by the greater volume of her tone. She has a lovely voice, clear and true and of exquisitely even de velopment. In one of the songs, to prove that it was impossible to dis tinguish between the voice and its re production on the machine, the lights of the stage were turned out, and on; of the voices stopped singing. The audience was left to guess whether the machine had been turned off in the dark or the singer had become silent. It was quite impossible to determine. The lights were flashed on suddenly, and Miss Heinrich was not there. Mr. Polk, who explained the Dlan of the concert, furnished the violin num bers, playing with records made by Flesch Spalding. He makes an ac ceptable speech and plays ably. In addition to the duets of record and the performer in person, some num bers were played by the machine alone, including a piano solo by Andre Benoi-st, an orchestra selection of a Paraphrase on die Lorelei, and a bass solo bV Arthur Middleton. B. H. REAL ARMY MESS Topeka Press Club Ate Beans and Had a Great Time.1 Gen. Martin and Other Army Officers on the Program. Members of the Tooeka Press club staged a regular war dinner at Pel letier's Monday night. It was a real campfire, with army mess and digni fied, commissioned army omcers in brass buttons, braids and shoulder straps in charge ct the oratory. The dinner was the newspaper gang's offi cial recognition of the nation s in evitable entrance in the European con flict. It was arranged by "Quarter master" Howes ..nd was the idea of "Private Pink" Wingart. Awny men talked before a changed Press club. Veterans told of other wars, armv officers of rank told ?f the Issues in the present conflict with regard for military secrets, home or these men would have been glad to have left the dinner without calling an ambulance had the dinner been given under ordinary circumstances. But the grave issues of a world con flict caused the news writers to change their established plan. There was n) burlesque. There was no gridiron, in stead the newspaper men sang patri otic songs, waved flags, and nearly tore the boards from the rough army tables when Henry Bennett spoke for red blooded American patriotism and loyalty. Table linens and waiter service were not for the news men who sat at the army mers. Instead they carriea utensils that looked like pancaice moulders and held a man's ration of meat, notatoes. gravy and beans heavy on the beans. The recruits also carried awkward bean shaped uten sils which held a half quart of coffee. And on rough boards the news men ate their meal and meditated as to the probable joys of weeks and months in the trenches. General Martin a Speaker. Hugh McVev. a Spanish-American war veteran, presided at the dinner. Charles I. Martin, adjutant general, told of his recent trip to New York and Washington. New Tork is war mad, he declared. On the other hand, pacifists sent to Washington to block the war move, were as fanatical and extreme in demands for peace. Precautions and safeguards in federal departments were described by Gen eral Martin, who himself waited sev eral hours in a hurried effort to visit the war department. Captain W. P. MacLean. with modest pride, praised the boys of Battery A. "I am proud to fight with those boys, to be a part of their or ganization," said Captain MacLean. "It isn't as thorough an organiation as some of the regulars. But it is just as good as a lot of them and the personnel and the spirit as good as any." John M. Padprett. a member of the club and president of the Spanish American war veterans organization In this state, put a little real humor in the meeting. He recited a number of Col. Ed C. Little's humorous army stories and burlesqued the late Brig. Gen. Frederick Funston's crossing of the Bag Bag river. Major -A. M. Fuller, detailed from the regular army with the Kansas National Guards, told stories of the days when regular army service was a hardship. Major Fuller was in a number of the Indian battles and re counted frontier experiences. Bennett Aroused Hearers. Henry Bennett, member of the Loyal Legion, brought the newspaper men to their feet with a display of patriotism when' he declared the de mands of the nation in the present crisis would be met by the responsive spirit of the people. There is no such thing as humane war, he said. He spoke in full as follows: "Patriotism and love of our country. "The man or woman who has never felt the inspiration of patriotism and love of country, has lost one of God's greatest gifts to mankind. "I have often wondered if true red blooded patriotism could be acquired, or whether It must be born and bred in the soul and heart at our inception. I have thought of this many times in the two and a half years of the present war, because we have in our country so many foreign born people. "In connection with this thought I look back to the four years of Civil war in America, and can feel the loyal touch on the battle fields of for eigners from every land, whose valor and patriotic efforts to maintain our country against all our enemies had no superiors. While thus engaged, I look at the battle lines of our enemies confronting us, and these foreigners from the same countries as those be side us are battling with all their might for their adopted country with an enthusiasm and valor equal to those beside us. So I say, when I look back on the conditions of that period I am forced to believe that patriotism and sentiment may be acquired. In view of this fact, may we not expect the same conditions to prevail in the struggle before us! Punish the Disloyal. "Should conditions that we are now getting in- touch wth prove otherwse. then am I in favor of interinng all that give us troubu in any .way, in camps, to be held in this country, until the close of the war and then returned to the country from whence they shall never again be permitted to put foot on American soil.i "We hear much talk at times about humane war. There are no such things as humane wars, but on the contrary, all wars are inhuman and destructive of every obstacle that stands in its purposes. Death and de struction ever follows in all of its ef forts. War adds to our destructive organs until we reach the point that we are not content in time of war un less we are, destroying our enemies and all that give them comfort and assistance. This is war, as experienced in the past, and confronting us today. "Knowing these facts, we now con front a condition that calls on all of us to put forth the best in us, to create an army and navy that shall be equip ped with the best and most destructive implement of war, in sufficient amounts to meet whatever comes be fore us. To attain this state of effi ciency. I am for universal military training now, of all our men from 16 to 40 years of age. They should be officered by men that know how to drill and discipline them for effi ciency in the war of today. It is a fact beyond question, proven on many battlefields, that one hundred well of ficered and disciplined men will achieve results, where three hurrdred poorly officered and poorly trained and disciplined would bring disaster. We Have the Material. "In view of this fact," the responsi bility for efficiency rests with those in authority in our states, and the head of the United States. So I say so you, first, do the things suggested j above, and you will have an army and navy made up of men filled with red blooded American patriotism that will give us the victory, that stands for hu man rights and against human bond age. "We have within the United States all the requisites necessary to produce an army and navy second to none, if we will only avail ourselves in an in telligent way in preparing for the work before us. Under these condi tions have no fear of the results. "We are tonight where we should have been two years ago, sharing with the English and her allies the cost and sacrifices of war forced upon the world by a power that knows no rights that they respect except it be to force and power greater than their own. "Have no fear about militarism in this country after the war is over. Americans are a peace loving people who have proven in the past how quick they can adjust themselves from a state of war to that of peace, and yet we know that we are a people" that will maintain our standing as a free and independent nation, let the cost be what it mav."

Military training will be started at Midland college tomorrow night in compliance with orders issued by Dr. xt. H. feery. president of the college. Sixty young men are expected to become cadets and will be drilled by Don Elliott, a student who formerly attended West Point military academy. Last Friday the North Topeka Drainage Board let the contract for the making of a big cut on Soldier creek north of town on the old Good win place. The contract was Jet to T J. Campbellc and calls for i ex penditure of $2,500. The cu mill be 400 feet long, 25 feet deep, 32, feet wide at the bottom and 80- at the top. The excavating work will re quire about six weeks. This cut will shorten the course of Soldier creek about half a mile and facilitate the flow of the current at a point where there is an especial danger of over flow in flood time. In a certain North Topeka business establishment the employees are noted (or notorious, it depends upon the point of view) for their marked propensity toward practical humor. There is a certain well known and somewhat tumultuous youth on the North Side who had lately acquired 1 a habit of rushing in the front en trance of this store, hurling in the direction of the clerks some choice pieces of wit which he evolved over night by dint or much mental labor. Singularly the comedy met with small appreciation. Indeed the enjoyment caused by the youth's attempts to be amusing was of so distinctively nega tive a quality that it was thought well to cool his ardor for the Lew Dock- stader brand of wit. A sprinking can was mounted above the innocent lookingtfront door, con nected by a string to the ready hand of a waiting joker. When the young man entered the store on the morning next succeeding, after these strategic preparations, he was greeted by an effective and penetrating cold snower. which has so effectually congealed his flow of comedy that he has since adopted a rather tragic outlook on life when In the neighborhood of this company s establishment.

FIX WAGE SCALE Women Workers In Kansas May Soon Get Better Pay. Welfare Commission Plans to Investigate Conditions. VnnHfiq women are to come under I benefits of wage regulations. Plans for wage orders are to be worked out by the state weiiare commission. PniTowine the decision of the United States supreme court in the Oregon case, it is probable that immediate action will be taken by this state. Under the law of two years ago tne state welfare commission is vested with power to fix hours and wages of women in Kansas. A number of or ders concerning hours and working conditions for women engaged in mer cantile and manufacturing pursuits, have been issued by the commission. No effort has been made, however, to tackle the wage proposition. "We have gone slow in the matter of wae-es" said Miss Linna Bresette, secretary of the commission. "We didn't want to open up new trouble and preferred to sit back and wait for the decision in tne uregon case. That decision, tho, was-a most sweep ing victory for women engaged in in dustrial pursuits. It means that we can now fix absolutely both the hours and wages of women and that our or ders will stand the test of the courts." Make Investigations. It is probable that the welfare com mission will go directly into the wage question. Several subordinate com missions may be named to investi gate conditions In classitied industries, just as was done in the investigation of girls and women in mercantile es tablishments and in laundries, prior to the orders concerning working hours in these establishments. "I really don't know the extent of the necessity for wage orders in this state," said Miss Bresette. "The mat ter would require close "Btudy ana in vestigation. And there is no doubt that the commission will now go Into the matter thoroughly.' An investigation of wage conditions will probably be taken up this sum mer. Should the work be completed in a few months, it is quite probable that several orders regulating women's wages may be made before the close of the present calendar year.. Big Victory for Women. As a result of the decision of the United States supreme court the state welfare commission may accomplish everything that has been asked of the tat legislature during former ses sions. In 1913 a most bitter fight, was waged for the passage of the minimum wage bill. When senator run Price fought the bill on the floor of the senate, he was hissed by a gallery narked bv Topeka club women. The bill failed of passage, however. and the ultimate result 01 tne wage and hour fights before the legislature was a compromise measure which per mitted the welfare commission to reg ulate both wages and hours for wo men. x AWAIT GERMAN ATTACK Kronstadt Prepares, for Naval Blow Soldiers Form" Government. Kronstadt, April 8 (via London) April 10. Kronstadt is feverishly pre paring to repel an expected German naval attack when the gulf of Fin land is free of ice. A correspondent of the Associated Press reached the famous island fastness by traveling over the vast ice waste which sep arates it from he mainland and found the garrison working night and day in anticipation of the long pre dicted assault. The fortress is entirely controuea by a council elected by the troops, which is unanimously resolved to de fend Russian freedom and territory to the last. The council is equally resolute against fighting for the an nexation of foreign territory. One member of the council said that as long as Germany was unwilling to abandon its plans of annexation there was nothing to do but fight He said that everything possible had been done to put the defense of the fortress in first class order and that the strong hold was as strong today as ever. An impressive sight is offered the visitor to Kronstadt from the walls after dark. At every half mile along the tracks across the ice bonfires flare and in their gleam, the red flags of the revolution can be seen faintly waving. Around the fires the revolu tionary soldiers chant the new revolu tionary hymn and cheer for the com ing of the Russia republic. STORM CUPID OFFICE Embarrass Near-Weds by Placing Re- j ernitins Officers at Door. Chicago, April 10. Cupid is en-j countering increasing difficulties to-1 day. Eleven of the fifteen license bu- i reau clerks who aided in yesterday's I rush when more than a regiment of j young men applied for licenses, were j not on the job. The scores who j stormed the doors again were notified that they had to wait their turn while I the regular office force handled the business. To bring home more forcibly to the "slackers" that official cognizance was I being taken, both naval and army re cruiting omcers were stationed out side the bureau. License clerks also i called the attention of prospective bridegrooms to the recruiting officers' offer. But in spite of obstacles, the de mand continued unabated today.

Argentina is determined not to yield to British and American pressure for lifting jf her embargo on wheat, unless it is absolutely necessary. Today feeling against Great Britain reached an acute stape when knowledge of an acri monious conference between President Irigoyen and the British minister. Sir Reginald Tower, reached the public. President Irigoyen today dispatched an Argentine transport vessel to Chile to purchase coal. He was also nego tiating for a supply of this fuel from Colombia and there vras official inti mation that the entire Argentine navy mirht be assigned to carry coal in this way. it was admitted that unless Argen tina is thus able to obtain coal, with holding of such fuel by England, and the I'nited states would practically paralyze all industry. I'. S. lresure Passive. "While the United States apparently is supporting England in applying pressure, it was known today that American Ambassador Etimson does not a rree entirely with Sir Reginald Tower on the facts In the case. Stim son is inclined to agree and has so reported to Washington -that Argen tina may have cause, on account of shortage of her wheat crop, for put ting an embargo on the grain, to pre vent the country being drained dry of this staple. No official l'ersion was obtainable today of a conference between Tower and President Irigoyen, but it was made known that the meeting was an angry one. According to one authori tative report Tower told Irigoyen he was considering the advisability of leaving Argentina at once, possibly demanding his passports and formally breaking diplomatic relations. To Cut Relations With Kaiser. From a number of sources today came a report that the Argentine government was considering the wis dom of a declaration against Germany in favor of the United States and the allies, thus "beating Brazil to it" and gaining credit from the allies.

MR. AND MRS. JACK BROWN AND FAMILY. Adv. Lawn hose at Forbes Hdw. Adv. LEARN TO FIGHT! Washburn Students Will Organ ize a Corps. Military Training to Become Part of Curriculum. MASS MEETING IN THE CHAPEL College Boys Will Have Prefer ence in New Battery B. School Authorities Say They Approve of Plan. Washburn students will organize a tentative corps as a military training school, according to plans advanced by the board of trustees this morning at a mass meetirrg of the students. This corps will be organized Thursday, if the plan is approved by a majority of the students at the men's mass meet ing to be held tomorrow night at the chapel. The services of two army officers as drill masters will be given to the school and under these leaders, it is hoped that training can be done on the college campus. This tentative corps will in no way be connected with the United States army nor with the state militia. But in case of a call to arms, the trained men of the college will act as a unit and not as a individuals. They will go as a company. If Bat tery A is filled, according to a message from Senator Curtis, the college will have preference in enlisting in the new Battery B. A three hour course in military training will probably be introduced into the college curriculum, if a pe tition to the war department for an instructor is approved. The men stu dents will be required to enter and credits for work in this branch will be required for graduation. If con ditions become more serious and there is really need, a Red Cross society will be formed among the women of the college. An Intelligence bureau will also be established according to this plan. Information will be secured from all other colleges of the country, com piled systematically and made public by the bureau. This information will be at the service of the nation and will, it is believed, be of great assist ance to the closer co-operation be tween institutions and the govern ment. A telegram was received from Sen ator Curtis this morning advising the Washburn men to await some definite action on the part of the government before enlisting in the army for serv ice and leaving their school work, that is so nearly finished for the year. This advice was given to the senator in response to a query from President Womer, forwarded to the war depart rr ent "The government has declared no definite policy as yet and the country is in no danger of invasion," said President Womer in his address this morning. ''There will be no urgent need for men for nearly six months that is. men to fight. If we can trafh men for service and at the same time permit them to finish their school work, that is the only sensible way to do. "Under the power of the war depart ment, approved by the government, with, the adoption of this policy, Wash burn and other colleges will receive an officer from the national army as a military instructor. At present there are two officers in Topeka who have promised their services until organiza tion is perfected. Then we will re ceive our instructor from Washington and the students will get real military training. A petition to the army de partment has been filled by President Womer to this purpose. Dr. W. S. Lindsay and Dr. J. C. Mc- Clintock, of the board of trustees ex pressed their agreement with Presi dent Womer and hoped that the stud ents would adopt the suggested plan. Justice Porter of the supreme court, expressed his approval of the plan. He stated most emphatically tho, that col lege students should not expect to be made officers. They must serve their time as well as others. W. A. Harsh barber, of the mathematics depart ment, spoke of the conditions before the Spanish American war. He ap proved of the plan advanced by the board. TOBACCO A BLESSING Woman Says It Gives Soldiers in the Trenches Great Comfort. Chicago. 111., April 10.

Here's a possible explanation for the three sticks of dynamite, seven dyna mite caps and twenty-five feet of fuse' found under the Ward creek bridge on the Rock Island main line Monday morning: It was stated today that after the-f aynamite was placed there and before it was found and exploited bv railroad employes and the-Missouri NfftisaarS WSuaru'flve applications Tfor Jotuk-nsi bridge watchmen were filed. with the! Rock Island rn Topeka. Up to Monday no special guards had been placed by the railroad company. Employes had been used' beside such structures as the W ard creek bridge. Chief Harvey Parsons is quoted as saying he dynamite was hidden there probably" by persons who have been fishing illegally in Ward creek and the river; that it was not the kind of dyna mite used in blowing up bridges and used in blasting. Chief Parsons doesn't know why the dynamite was placed under the Ward creek bridge. He doesn't know what kind of dynamite it was. The dynamite was thrown into the Kaw river by the Rock Island yard foreman before Parsons knew It had been found. And the yard foreman and the Missouri guardsmen who saw it failed to examine it to see what kii.d of dyna mite it was or whether it had any dis tinguishing marks upon it.

Copeland of Lawrence. The federal grand jury sitting in Topeka today returned an Indictment against Theo C.

Matrimonial Haven Won't Keep 'em Out of War, Says Clerk. New York, April 10. The "slacker" marriageables today began to blame it on the girls in New York. Many youths between the ages of 19 and 25 appearing at the marriage li cense bureau here before 11 o'clock to day, declared to Chief Clerk Scully that they had literally been forced In to it by the insistence of the girls. Others frankly stated they did not want to go to war and many refused to give any reply. Scully took advantage of a. crush around his office doors to inform the couples that marriage at this time will not exempt any man from mili tary duty. The records of this office are open to the United States government," he said, "and I believe they will be used to force such men as some of you are, into service." 123 Licenses In S Hours. One hundred and twenty-five appli cations for licenses had been made up to 11 o'clock. Of these 7 were under 25. and 41 were between 25 and SO.

MUST SAVE FOOD Congdon Orders Restaurants and Hotels To Be Conservative. Several Hundred Thousand Dol lars Wasted In Kan. Yearly. Appeals were sent from Topeka to day by Li. A. Congdon, state hotel in spector, in which he urged all hotels and restaurants to safeguard against waste of food stuffs. Cong-don's order prohibits the use of "come backs' in public eating houses, but warns all hotels and restaurants to prepare con servatively for theday's demands and to prepare no more food than will be used during the day. More than 3,000 public eating places in the state are affected by the Congdon order. In these places, it is estimated that an average of two gal lons of prepared food is wasted each day. In some of the larger places, the food waste is much heavier. The waste means an annual food loss in this state of hundreds of tons of pre pared vegetables, meats and breads. Figured in do Liars and cents and as an aggregate ror the year, the waste amounts to several hundreds of thou sands of dollars. Watch E-ery Corner. "Our plan is to watch the food con sumptions in all public eating houses.' said Congdon. "We want the hotels and restaurants to prepare only such food as will be used during the day, using a conservative estimate as a basis. In one place an inspector re cently found a five gallon trash can filled with foods thrown away by one hotel. I simply want every hotel and restaurant to be its own food dictator and to safeguard against waste and wanton losses. The public must not only pay for the waste, but must suf fer thru food shortages." "Come back" food served a second time is illegal in the state and no compromise of the provision is made in the Congdon order. T. R. CANNOT COME Colonel Roosevelt JDecllnes Kansas In vitation for July 4. Colonel Theodore Roosevelt will not come to Kansas to officiate at the un veiling of the monument of General McPherson. A letter to Governor Cap per states that it will be impossible for the colonel to come to the state July 4, the date set for the ceremonies. The unveiling would have occurred in McPherson. In his letter to Governor Capper, Colonel Roosevelt said: "It is with real regret that I am obliged to refuse the invitation of the Major General Birdseye McPherson committee. I should love to come and to make a straight out anti-pacifist and anti-German speech. A little more than two weeks ago I accepted an in vitation to attend the semi-centennial celebration of Nebraska's admission to statehood, in mid-June next. As things ar now, I dare not make any further engagements." TWO MEN INDICTED Fred Johnson and Frank Barkly Ac cused of Stealing Grips. Two men known to Kansas federal officials as Fred Johnson and Frank Barkly were indicted in Topeka today by a federal grand Jury on a charge of larceny. Johnson and Barkly, it is alleged, stole six grips and suitcases from a bunch of army officers who were recently trained at Fort Leav enworth. The victims were a part of the class of 300 or more lieutenants recently graduated at the army post and sent to the border. Johnson and Barkly are In the Shawnee county jail.
