1905. PRICE TWO CENTS. TOPE THE WEATHER YOUNG ON STAND TOLSTOI RADICAL RAILROAD WON IT RUSSIAN ARMY IS TRAPPED which already has destroyed hundreds of thousands of Russians, imposses an enormous tax upon the labor of future generations. That which took place In St. Petersburg on January 22, is nothing compared to what is taking place in Manchuria." In conclusion, Count Tolstoi say3 that in America, France, Germany, Japan and England the pernicious character of the governments is so marked that those belonging to those nations point to events in Russia and naively imagine what is done in Russia is done only in Russia, while they enjoy complete freedom and need no improvement of their positions.

"But," he adds, "they are in the most hopeless state of slavery the slavery of slaves who do not understand that they are slaves and pride themselves on their positions as slaves. The fact is that every coercive government Is in the essence a great and unnecessary evil. Therefore the aim both of the Russians and of all men should not be to replace one form of government b7 another, but to free themselves from every government and abolish it." and Wichita will each play four games In the order named. There will be 'no games between any of the clubs on July 3 owing to the fact that several -of the teams that desired home games would not be able to play on that day and get back to their own towns in time to play on the national holiday. Consequently double-headers will be played on July 2 to make up for the lost day.

The schedule provides for twelve more games than did that of last year. STOLE A SWITCH ENGINE Insane Man Causes Collision in Chicago Railroad Yards. Chicago, March 11.

He followed -the son into the street, according to the testimony, and shot him as he carried his baby, which fell in the roadway. SAVED Says Governments Sanction Crimes Against People. WOULD ABOLISH THEM ALL Does Not Indorse Demands Made by Libsrals. Hass of Uursians Still Believe in Autocracy Saya Present Activity Ij Pernicious.

London, March 11. Count Tolstoi, In a letter to the Times, which will be published tomorrow morning, says that he regards not only the government, but all governments as "in tricate institutions sanctified by tra-diton and custom for the purpose of committing by violence the most dreadful crimes." He therefore thinks the efforts of those who wish to improve social life should be directed to the liberation of themselves "from the governments whose futility in these times is becoming more and more obvious." This object could only be attained by the unique means of religiously morally perfecting separate individuals. The it'ca is prevalent that the evil accomplished by the "present particularly coarse, cruel, stupid and deceitful Russian government" is due to the fact that the Russian government is nui organized on 'he model of ether existing governments which "are similar institutions for the committal of ell kinds of crimes against their peoples." For the purpose of correcting this the people had used all the means at their disposal, "imagining that an alteration of the external forms might alter the essence." Such activity, Count Tolstoi says, is inexpedient and unreasonable in that the people assert rights which they do not have. Violent strife by "external means on the part of an insignificant handful of men against a powerful government defending its life is only comical from the point of view of the possibility of success, and piteous as regards the unfortunate, misled individuals who perish in the unequal strife. The Russian government has no right to claims which do not appeal to the great mass of the people.

One hundred million of the peasantry need nothing of these demands, their one desire and expectation being the liberation of the land from the law of proprietary or common owners of land, matters which are entirely ignored in liberal position and speeches, and only incidentally alluded to in the- revolutionary socialistic program." Concerning the representation demands, Count Tolstoi says: "The people in great mass still believe in autocracy both by reason of inertia and because they think that only through autocracy and through the Czar can they attain this com-munalization of1 land. The present activity is pernicious because it distracts the people from the moral perfection-ing of separate individuals, whereby only can be obtained the objects which those who are fighting the government are striving. "One cannot participate in political action which draws the peopie into intrigue, subterfuge, strife and spite extending to murder. Political action not only fails to contribute to the liberation of men from the violence of governments, but on the contrary renders the people more incapable of that vigor which only can liberate them. "Light minded people, judge superficially, especially those upset by the butchery in St.

Petersburg, though the chief cause of these events lay in despotism of the government; and if the autocratic monarchical form of the Russian government is replaced by a constitutional or Republican one, then such events could not be repealed. "But the chief calamity from which the Russian people are suffering is not St. Petersburg events, but the reckless disgraceful, cruel war instigated by a score of immoral individuals. The war, Admits His Company Interested in Tank Lines. MONNETT IS WELL-PLEASED His Contention -Regarding Standard Sustained.

Stock and -Eonds of Prairie Company in Hands of National Transit Co. Independence, March 11. The taking of depositions in the case of the state of Kansas against the Santa Fe was resumed today. From information given by W. J.

Young, president of. the Prairie Oil and Gas company, it appears that the order stopping the purchase of all Kansas oil beneath SO degrees specific gravity came from J. A. Moffatt, director of the Standard Oil company and superintendent of refineries. Young said the Prairie company owned no tank cars, but ran its oil into any cars which happened to be on the switch.

He thought the Union tank line got most of their shipments. He stated that while he owned all the stock of the Prairie company, all except a few shares and all its bonds were in the hands of W. Harris of the National Transit company. This led to information highly satisfactory to Frank Monnett, special prosecutor, as sustaining his claim that the Standard is behind the whole business, being owner of the Union tank line and the National Transit company. LAST DAY OF TRIAL Mrs.

Chadwick Will Soon Know Her Fate. Cleveland, March 11. The Chadwick trial opened, this morning with Attorney Dawley delivering his address to the jury. He spoke along emotional lines. The defendant looked courageous and was unmovedV apparently, by appeals of the lawyer made in her behalf.

Friends had feared Mrs. Chadwick would suffer, from nervous collapse on this, what is believed to be the last day of her trial, when her fate will be determined. Attorney Dawley jeered at District Attorney Sullivan for bringing Andrew Carnegie here from Florida and then not placing him on the stand. "Why was he brought Dawley. Then he said he did not "like the notion of attacking the woman and letting the man go." He called it a repetition of Adam's cowardice.

Dawley brought tears to the eyes of Mrs. Chadwick by an appeal to the jury to think what the verdict meant to her son. When Dawley closed, Sullivan began his argument. He had an altercation with the court and gave Mrs. Chadwick these severe words: "Beckwith was an honest man until this arch enchantress sang the siren's song of gold to him." He urged the jury not to be influenced by the "woman's wiles." The court took a recess for lunch.

BERRYTOH LOSES STATION Order of State Railroad Board Is Vacated.

Few Interesting1 Cases Were Decided Santa Fe Lost Important Suit From Lyon County. Few cases of general interest were decided by the Supreme court in tho long list of opinions handed down today. The judgment of the Shawnee county district court in declaring not binding an order of the State Board Railroad Commissioners requiring tho Missouri Pacific company to maintain a station at Berryton on the line of the K. N. in Shawnee county, was affirmed.

The order of the rail road board was made after a hearing in which a showing satisfactory to the commissioners was made. The Missouri Pacific company appealed to the district court and the order was vacated The railroad board carried the case to the Supreme court. In deciding the case the court holds that it will not reverse a judgment of the lower court on the ground that an error was made in deciding disputed ques tions of fact. The Supreme court did not consider the evidence regarding the amount of railroad business transacted at Berryton for the reason that the evidence was conflicting. Another railroad case brought to the Supreme court from Lyon county by the Santa Fe was decided against the company.

In this case the court held that when a person enters a railroad station and purchases a ticket intending to take a passenger train soon to arrive, he immediately acquires the status of a passenger and it becomes the duty of the railroad company to exercise reasonable care to provide him a safe means of approach to the passenger train. In this case Jamea H. Holloway was suing the Santa Fe on a personal damage claim. While trying to get around a freight train which stood between the station at Strong City and a passenger train which he intended to take Holloway was injured. The Supreme court affirmed the judgment of the district court in giving him judgment.

The State Lost. An interesting case brought by the Attorney General under the alien Iaw3 of Kansas was decided against the state. The case was based on the fact that John Gainor, who died intestate in Butler county in July, 1900, without issue, was a citizen -of the United States and that his father and mother, both of whom died before he did, were aliens. Gainor's property consisted of several hundred acres of valuable agricultural land and his half sister and two nephews, also aliens, brought suit to obtain possession of the real estate. The state claimed that the property should go to the permanent school fund.

The court holds that the contention of the state is incorrect. AN EDITOR DEAD Henry Norcrcss Munn, of Scientific American Passes Away. New York, March 11.
