GILLETTE TRIAL. IN JAN. DAWSON AT WICHITA BUILD IT MOBS ARE STILL AFTER COFFEY THE OBJECT OF A TARIFF BOARD SUPREME COURT AND MR. TAFT PRESIDENT ENTIRELY SATISFIES WITH TRUST DECISION IN ONE DAYL MANHATTAN GOES IN ON THE EAST AND WEST ROAD ASKS FIRST MEETING THERE uggests That a Road Building Day Be Set and All Turn Out and Work The Manhattan Mercury says: The Manhattan Motor cub has accepted the invitation to join Sauna Solomon, Abilene, Chapman and City clubs in an effort to mane den Belt Road. When the invitation was read at the motor club Wednesday night the invitation was promptly accepted and it was voted to extend the promoters an invitation to hold their first meeting in Manhattan.

Members of the local organization are already busy devising ways for making the proposed road desirable. While the original was Tor a well graded and marked road from Manhattan to Salina the Manhattan mororisis say there is no reason why the road shouldn't be extended from Manhattan to Kansas City. The road is already marked most of the way by telephone lines anu a Manhattan motorist suggests, that, inasmuch as there are many telephone lines about the county route be marked by painting a yellow band on the telephone poles along the rome. The idea, he says, might be carried farther by posting signs at the ar proach of each town telling the bes: Uncle Sam is Now After the Fire Bugs at Fort Riley. Sheriif Iiurke has received from Jack Harrison, Cuited States marshal, several posters offering a reward of for information that will result in the arrest and convinction of the persons or persons who started the iires and caused the recent destruction of government property at Ft.

Riley. The poster says that all information will be treated as confidential by the department of justice and the marshal. Sometime ago Mr. Harrison suggested that the governed should offer a good-sized reward for the apprehension of the guilty ones. During the last few months the large warehouse at the maneuver camp at Fort Kiley was burned, the large bridge across the Kaw blown tip and destroyed a stable and more than twenty horses burned trie ad uiuiuing men, aim ai- itempts made at several other de- LUJ ul" of an incendiary nature.

FOR CONGRESS IN THE SEVENTH MANY CANDIDATES TO SUCCEED JUDGE MADISON. THERE WILL BE A PRIMARY Lieutenant Governor Hopkins the Strongest Progressive so Far in the Race. Topeka, Sept. 23 A red hot fight, with a big field of candidates, is expected fur the Republican nomination for Congress in the Seventh district to succeed the late E. 11.

Madison. It is likely that the special election to fill the vacancy will be held in time that the newly elected rneiv.ber may take his seat when Congress re-con venes for the regular session early in December. Lieutenant R. J. Hopkins of Dodge City is likely to be the strongest of the progressive candi-i dates for Judge Madison's seat.

In fact HopkiTTs is the only insurgent Republican who seems to have any particular following. Senator Frank Price of Clark county, C. E. Lobdeil of Larned, who has just resigned as district judge, A. C.

Malley of Hutchinson and C. E. Denton of Attica, former secretary of state, are also spoken of as candidates. The experiences in the second district has made it practically certain that the Republicans will hold a primary election in the Seventh and there is a strong possibility that W. J.

Fitzgerald of Dodge City may get into the race when the primary is called although Fitzgerald himself doos not oare particularly to make the race. His friends are urging him to get in as a compromise candidate. ABIIEHE NOT A RENO JUDGE REFUSED TO GRANT DIVORCE APPLICANT TRIAL.

Too Many Governent Liquor Licenses Held by Wichita People, to Suit Stubbh. Topeka, Sept. "3 Attorney General John S.

Dawson has gone to Wichita to conduct an inquisition to develop evidence of violations of lie prohibitory law. The Wichita inquisition is being held in conformity with the directions of Governor Stnbbs, who recently charged publicly that the prohibitory and gambling laws were being violated at Wichita, Concordia and Kansas City, Kansas. The gov ernor's charges, so far as Wichita is I concerned, were in a measure con-1 firmed by a recent report from the office of the deputy collector of m-1 tenia! revenue at Leavenworth show- ing that eighty-four Sedgwick county citizens have paid revenue tax as retail liquor dealers in the last quarter. Sedgwick county led the state in the number paying retail liquor dealers' tax. FOR A GIRLS' HOME K.

U. CO-EDS' ARE ORGANIZING FOR DORMITORIES. Kansas Girls Will Have a Suitable Building on the Campus at Mt. Oread. Lawrence, Sept.

23 An organized effort was started by the girls of the University of Kansas today to raise funds for a girls' dormitory. At a meeting of the Girls' Student Governor assoication it was deided to or ganize a girls' dormitory campaign.

Tho girls say that they have plans that will wrk with rapidity but will not tell what thev nre. Kverv one nf the Zitid girls who attended the meet ing today was highly enthusiastic over their work. Already are the girls so sure that they will have the dormitory in a short time that the girls from Missou ri passed a resolution to have a Missouri memorial room where the "'Hack and gold'' which symbolizes the Missouri Tigers, will be kept at all times in spite of the outcome of the annual football game between the Jayhawkers and Tigers. No matter if the men students burn the Tiger from Missouri in effigy or trample the colors in the dust the girls from Missouri in K. U.

will hold the colors sacred and will have them always in view. HAD NO BURIAL PERMIT. Whereupon Dr. Crumbine Arrested Undertaker. Wakeeney, Sept.

23 A man died at Hays last week and John Mul-vey was sent for to take charge of the funeral, which he did, but he failed to a burial permit before burying the man and as a result he was arrested on complaint of Dr. Crumbine, who was in Hays the day of the funeral, for violating the new Vital Statistic Law.

Alton, 111., Sept. 23 When Miss Alice Mundy, disappointed because her mother forbade her communicating with her finance, took to her bed, vowing that she would never rise until all objection had been removed, Mrs.

Objections From All Over the State Against This Type of Film Shows. Topeka, Sept. 23 The Beulah Bin-ford moving pictures, for which the "other woman" in the Hen'y Clay Beattie case has been posinz in New York will not be generally exhibited in Kansas.

In fact, it is not likely that they will De exhibited at all. A Kansas movement started at Salina Promises to preclude their exhibition in any Kansas moving picture thea- tres. At Wichita, Lawrence and Topeka the moving picture proprietors have been served with notice that the authorities will not stand for the Beulah Binford pictures, just as they were notified that the pictures of the raid of the Daiton gang bank robbers at Coffeyville should not be shown. Kansas has a state law under which such exhibitions may be restricted by municipal authorities. i i i i is I i BUT SUGAR GOES RIGHT UP Great Combinations go on Charging The Same Old Prices or Making Higher Ones Washington, Sept.

23. President Taffs assertion in his Detroit speech that ihe "rule of reason" would pro-pide a satisfactory solution of the trust problem would have carried more conviction had it not come tiie i day following the announcement of a rise in the price of sugar. "It took twenty years to settle trie trust problem," Mr. Taft said, "bur the important thing is that it. wa; i linallv settled right.

Now that tht- Supreme court has fixed the difinition of the anti trust law the big corporations will naturally dissolve." Mr. Taft blandly explains that the trusts as a result of the famous onable'' decision in the Tobacco anr; Oil trust cases are in a state of extinction. Of their own accord, he says they will melt away just as soon a they understand the spirit of the Supreme Court's decision. Thus he vindicates that Supreme Court for its decision, "which will cause the trusts to naturally dissolve" one day after the sugar trust calmry announced that it proposed to forty million dollars more out of the people's posckets during the next year The decision was made several months ago, plenty of time for the trusts' to have "naturally dissolved," yet it doesn't strike the President as being lie the Jfciis carious that the wicked trusts should go right on rais- the prices as of yore. The Supreme Court "wiped the OH and Tobacco trusts out of existence." I nder its dictum they were given six months in which to dissolve ann Mr.

Taft assumes that merely Tie-cause the court told the trusts eo ceas 'their monopolistic presro they would at once proceed to obey, in effect, he says to the over taxecr millions of this country: "Behold under this decision only the unreasonable trusts shoul able trusts shall be restrained; therefore, why protest longer agalnsr, trusts? Surely there can be no opposition to a reasonable trust." And in the meantime the price or oil, and the price of tobacco, and the price of all other trust products rc- imain as igh as ever, while the pric- of sugar, eigty-one pounds of which is consumed annualy by eac man, woman and child in the country, has practically doubled since the Supreme Court handed down its decision which I Mr. Taft thinks puts an end to the trust problem. That he does consider the problem at an end indicated by his worre at Detroit: "I am entirely opposed to any amendment to the Sherman law. It is now (since the 'reasonable-decision) a valuable government assej Tested by twenty years of experience should we imperil its usefulness proceeds, that the days of the trusts have passed away.

St' Louis' Sei'r- speech delivered here today. President Taft spoke on the tarift board, the worn t0 which it is assigned and the benefit jhf! expects from it. The President sau' l'art: My Fellow Citizens: The Issue which has arisen in respect to the wisdom and propriety of the vero of the three taritf bills which passeij Congress at the last session and weri presented to the Kxecutive for si-, nature has brought into great promt nence than ever before the question of the necessity for a Tariff Tkiard i advise the Executive and Congress ai the facts in reference to the pro sent operation of an existing tariff and the future operation of a proposed tar-iff.

This sense of inadequacy of inform, at ion in respect to the operation ot tariff changes naturally roused the business men of the country, who could appreciate more than any other class the possible injury and disturbance of business of ill-advised legislation, to the necessity to the ra form. An association was organized among the commercial bodies of thij country to promote the passage of a bill providing for a permanent Tarift Commission or Board which shoulj be constantly engaged in the invest). gation into trade relations, should have on hand ihe data from which dm comparative cost of production dutiable articles at home and abroad could be promptly stated, could fur. nish to Congress the revenue-produr. ing capacity of all rates on duty, and give all the other facts with reference to the effect of the operation of the rit'f which Congress ought to knou in determining whether changes were ceded or not and in determining how best taxes might be reduced if there was a surplus or how best they might be increased if there was a deficit.

Through the provision in the Payne bill, I was able to appoint, a board ot three, and with appropriations fur- nished by Congress to direct them to make a glossary of the tariff, or an encyclopedia, by which any layman might inform himself as to the mean ing of the terms in the tariff and as to the actual ail valorem rates ini. posed, although specific rates were provided, and all the other facts enabling one to take up a tariff and in. telligently to study its meaning. The movement for the permanent organization of a Tariff Commission, after the passage of a bill ror tfiat purpose was put through both Houses, failed by reason of a filibuster and the shortness of the last, session ot he Sixty-first Congress. Sufficient money was given me, however, to cor.

jtinue the board which I had already appointed. I increased its memtjer- ship by two, in order to raaKe It a nonpartisan board, and I directed it do the work that the bill which failed had prescribed for the permanent Tariff Board to be appointed t'nero under. It has been said that the Tariff Board is a mere pretext, that it Is a board of my hirelings and clerks, and that it is absurd for me to delay Congress in the enactment of that which is its highest privilege to wit, revenue measures until I can secure, through an agency of mine inform tion as to the wisdom of the proposed, tills. My exercise of the two veto powet at all is severely criticized as a remnant of the royal prerogative and my attitude is compared to that of Georga III. Of course I understand that periods of rhetoric are usual under such circumstances, and I da rot find myself greatly troubled by them when called upon to exerise clearly imposed constitutional func.

IN TOLD QUEER TALE IN SAUNA Also Tried Suicide, Holding Hand Ov-Knife in Body to Conceal it From Officers. A lunacy commission in Osborne county, appointed to impure into the mental condition of Martin Coffey, living near Paradise, has pronounced 1 1 i in insanse and he will be rent to the state hospital.

Later he turneu up in! Salina. One day he tried suicide in Salin by sticking a knife into himself.

The knife pentrated into his body an inch deep, just below the heart. Officers came in but they did not know of the suicide attempt. For thirty minutes they talked to Cofiey and all this time, although suffering intense pain, he held his haul over the knife which was till sticking in his body, trying to cover up traces of the attempt. One of the officers moved nis hand away and then the knife was revealed. The wound was not pronounced dangerous and Coffey was soon able to be about.

lie was tried to aseerttain his men tal condition. He told a strange story Jie said that one day he told his wife not to associate with a certain wo- I jnuii because of her cuarcu-r. Later his own sister, Coffey said, came to him and said that because of what he had said to his wife about the other woman's character, a mob intended to pet him but she had persuaded the angry citizens to wait a day or two and give him a chance to get out. of town. Coffey went and imagined all the time that the mob was after him.

His story was given some credence especially when the young man's own lather said on the witness stand that he had ad vied his son go, fearing that a mob was really being formed as the country was sparsely settled and there were a number of people liv ing there who might be expected to enjoy forming a mob and instituting a. reign of terror. The local commission after several hour's consideration, decided to give Coffey the advantage oi the doubt and recommended that he be allowed to go back to his home with his fa- ther. Xow, however, it seems that Cofey still imagines mobs are after him and the insane asylum is the result. MANHATTAN FOR IT.
