From Monday a Daily. The meeting of the directors of the Jefferson Highway Association and of the men who attended the highway convention in New Orleans in November will be held in Kansas City Thursday, instead of on Feb. 12, IS was announced a few days ago. The reason for the advancing of the date, E. T.

Meredith or lowa, president of the association, says in a letter to A. H. Shafer, one of the directors, is that the men who will gather there will attempt to call the attention 01 President Wilson and the war department to the highway project by attending in a body the inceting President Wilson will address Wednesday night. Four at Least Will Go. C.

B. Spicer, W. G. Wolfe and J. H.

Secley, besides Mr. Shafer, will attend the meeting, and they may take another man or two with them. Mr. Seeley will go in his double capacity ag president of the Crawford County Good Roads Association and 118 a delegate to the New Orleans convention. Mr.

Wolfe was also at New Orleans. Mr. Spicer will take the place of A E. Goldman, one of the New Orleans delegates, as Mr. Goldman is stopping over in Port Smith for week 011 his way home from the booster tour through the South.

Mr. Meredith wrote for all the Pittsburg men 10 be sure to be at the Muehlebach hotel in Kansas City by Wednesday night. The good ronds men will march in a body to Convention Hall, where President Wilson is to speak, and in order to get. seats, they will start at 6:30 o'clock.

Meredith wrote. He did not say whether there would be an attempt to get an interview with President Wilson. Take All Day Thursday. The meeting of the directors of the highway association will occupy all day Thursday, the letter stated, and will be held at the Muchlebach. Local contests over the route ALTO to be deelded at that time, if possible.

This has been made necessary by the fact that many motorists' guidebooks are published in the spring and the officers of the highway association wish that at least the proposed route shall be shown in them. The establishing of the route in detail has been delayed by these local contentions, it is said. The big question of whether the road shall gO through Kansas or Missouri cannot be decided now. however. A resolution of the New Orleans meeting was that the directors should give it to the state that had the most mileage bulit by next Labor Day.

The Pittsburg men plan to go to Kansas City tomorrow night. Because of the absence of Mr. Seeley, there will be no meeting of the good roads association tomorrow night. Frank Karlinger of Franklin Dead. Franklin, Jan.

Great Advertising Stunt for Kansas, They Say, But It Also Was Beneficial to the Citica That Were Visited. 10T Tuesday's Daily. After a journey of more than 4,000 miles through the South by special train, the twelve Pittsburg men who the boosters from the Southeastern Kansas Association ol Commercial Clubs were all home again this morning, a little sleepyeyed but declaring the tour yielded the greatest pleasure from beginning to end. Nine of the travelers--Prof B. W.

Scheib, E. C. Hood, Thomas J. McNally, 0. L.

Stamm, J. A. Gibson, George P. Manchester, A. Messenger.

Dr. J. A. Pompeney and E. Bessearrived on Joplip car shortly 5 o'clock.

J. F. Callen and Flotow little later. A. Goldman was the Evans came by traits from Joplin a latest to return, arriving from Fort Smith this morning.

He had at first planned to remain there two or three days but became afraid high waters might prevent his return at the end of that time. Because of the floods in Arkansas and Oklahoma, special train was compelled to change its route from Port Smith. The schedule called for trip across northeastern Oklahoma Sunday night. But instead, the train came by way of Joplin and Nevada, passing here bound for Independence at 8:30 o'clock last night. The Pittsburg men left the train at Joplin.

"I believe the tour was worth four times what it cost in advertising for southeastern Kansas," A. Besse said this morning. "We got many pages altogether in the papers of the big A Southern cities and thousands of peosaW our exhibits, The exhibits aroused great curiosity as to what kind of country was. We heard hundreds of remark Kansas, persons who had seen them, 'Well when I leave here I'm going to Kan" Pittsburg, Mr. Besses added, sent more than half of the exhibits carried the two cars.

Praise for Guernsey. The local contingent expresses the creatost appreciation of the was jeorge Guernsey, of Independence managed tho tour. He showed mark ability for such an enterprise, they ay, and was absolutely fair in ev. ry particular. There was not question arose but that the Pitts.

burg men were consulted. Although there were 56 Independnee men on the train including bandin reply to questions Mr. Guernalways answered that it was outheastern Kansas train. He assigned to the Pittsburg men the best Pullman accommodations. They hao their berths in the rear coach, an servation car, and all but three hese berths were lower ones.

In fact, they say, they were shown nearly more consideration than their comparative number entitled them to. Not a trace of hard feeling marred he trip, A. Messenger said today. The 100 men were the jolliest and most companionable group imaginable hroughout the many miles and the wo weeks they were together, in spite of the irritability that is apt to come to the weary traveler. All the men aboard the train joined presenting Mr.

Guernsey an expensive watch in token of their appreciation of his able The presentation was made in tute capitol at Little Rock on Kansas Day. In replying to the speech presentation, Mr. Guernsey said believed his tourists had done more advertising for Kansas than any roup of men had ever done. How Arthur F. Duncan, the Chalute newspaper than who was pubHeity agent with the tourists, chanced to leave Pittsburg out of the advance sheets sent to the press of the South, has been explained.

When he wrote some time before the tour for a list the cities that belonged to the Southaustern Kansas Association of Commercial Clubs, the secretary replied with a list of those that had kept lues paid up. Pittsburg was not his list. The money for the dues been voted but had not been sent. Mr. Duncan was not aware that Pittsburg was to join in the tour.

When he later saw how Pittsburg had overlooked in the press matter he prepared, he did his best to amends for it while on the tour, Pitts- burg men say. Tour Good for Hosts, Too. tour was even of more value 0 the cities we visited, as a rule, than WItS to 118," Flotow Evans said. The announcement of our coming caused revival of the commercial clubs in several of them. At Charleston, N.

for instance, they started a membership campaign when they heard of us and enrolled 1,000 new members before we reached there. Then they entertained US royally. Many of the towns we passed through said to themselves, see what nine littie counties in Kansas are doing. I they can do that, why can't we aC complish And they immediately got busy." There were EL number of worried business men in the South' who felt better after they had interviewed the Kansans, Mr. Evans said.

Through much of the territory the train covcred prohibition went into effect the first of the year. These business men were trembling about the knees as to its effect on their business, They confidentially took aside the Kansas men, who have lived under prohibition for years and asked them how it went with them. And they brightened up when they were told that prohibition was good for Kansas and would be good 1 for the South too. Mayor C. H.

Kerr of Independence acquired accidentally a title that stuck to him. He was in the habit of looking up the mayor of the city in which the train had stopped. By a slip, of the tongue, another Kansan introduced him as "Mayor of Kansas." He was called that for the rest of the trip. Summer descended in all its balm-! Iness upon the tourists for eight days. That was while they were along the South Atlantic and Gulf coast.

They had left Pittsburg on a cold, gloomy to find the temperature same. So at returned, Aiken, N. the sight of peach trees in blossom was most pleasing and 1 their appetites were whetted by the sight of onions, and radishes growing in the open. But a number of tourists owe the bad colds they brought back to their donning light clothing when they reached the land of summer. Not a Broadway.

In Florida several men bought 12- inch alligators to carry home as pets. These animals were recommended as especially good for the baby to play with. The alligator farm and the ostrich farm at Jacksonville were among the characteristic southern scenes visited. It St. Augustine the men walked down the narrowest street in America.

It is only six feet wide. They knew they were seeing somethon something of the old South when they saw a colored woman carrying a heavy pail in each hand and a 5- gallon lard can on her head. At Augusta they looked upon one and one-half million bales of cotton on the wharves waiting for freighters to carry them to Europe. In Jacksonville they found themselves in the midst of an enormous industry, that of making motion pictures. Fifteen companies keep outfits there and the place is rivaling California for the purpose because of the beauty of its tropical scenery.

The devastations of floods greeted their eyes on every side through the last stage of the journey. The flood waters first became evident at Vicksburg. Near there a small town under water was seen, or rather only the tops of its houses were seen. They were told the water was 26 feet deep in the streets. And they gazed upon another Arkansas river than the one described in the geographies, for this stream was four miles wide.

Though they had taken a 35-mile boat ride at New Orleans, there seemed to be nearly as much water all the way across Arkansas.

Democratic Politicians Have Been Given New Gossip Topic. From Tuesday's Daily, Columbus, Feb. politicians are wondering whether Inspector Frazier of the postoffice de.partment who spent several days here last week gathering information concerning Dr. P. J.

Hendrickson, whom Senator W. H. Thompson has recommended for postmaster, was acting as personal investigator for President Wilson. Some of those interested in the postoffice fight have it doped out that way. Mr.

Frazier told several Columbus people that lte was here investigating charges preferred against Dr. Hendrickson. He has been in the department many years and is high up in the service. Inspector Frazier left here Saturday night but it is reported he will return this week and continue the investigation. The Sapps of' Galena, "Colonel" Bill Sapp, national committeeman, and E.

E. Sapp, former dintrict, judge, are said to be behind the fight against Hendrickson. In fact, "Colonel" Bill made no secret of the fact that he went to Washington try to block the appointment and secured a promise that it would at least be held up until charges preferred against Hendrickson were investigated. The Sapps and Hendrickson have been political and personal enemies for rears. Who filed the charges against Hendrickson and what the charges are has not been' made public.

The term of W. E. MeGhie, Republican, the present postmaster, expired Dee. 12. DONAHOE VERDICT AFFIRMED.

Lansford, Jan. famous mine fire which has been ragfor more than 60 years and which started at Summit Hill, near the spot where Phillip Ginter discov ered anthracite coal in 1791 has burned through the immense concrete wall which the Lehigh Coal Navigation Company sank in front of it deep down into the earth several years ago at a cost of more than $1,000,000.

It now is threatening the mammoth vein in the Panther Creek valley, the largest and richest vein of anthracite in the world. The wall, which was sunk into the ground to a depth of 100 feet was fifteen feet thick, of solid concrete and experts believed that the subterranean fire never would eat through it, but that it would prevent it from spreading any further and eventually extinguish it. The fact that the flames have eaten through this huge barrier, has caused grave fears among the Lehigh Coal Navigation officials who are now putting forth' every possible effort to prevent the fire from getting into the vast beds of anthracite in the vicinity. A large force of men is at work drilling holes deep into the earth and into these openings water and slush is being poured directly on the subterrancan fire in the hope of preventing 8. rapid spread if impossible to extinguish it.

Already this fire has destroyed millions of dollars worth of coal, while the 60-year fight to extinguish it has cost enormous sums. TEIPER OWNED THE REVOLVER. Suspect in Buffalo Case Admits the Weapon Belonged to Him. Buffalo, N. Feb.

"Do you not know that some of our hearts are already on fire? "If you sat in Washington you would know that some men are trying by both direct and indirect ways to get the United States into the war." "If Kansans will not fight, who will?" he asked. "They will fight for a principle. "The only thing we are ever going to fight for is human rights in one form or another.

GAITSKILL'S BOOM FOR GOVERNOR GROWS LETTERS AS TO GIRARD YER'S STANDING AT HOME COME TO PITTSBURGER. Not Going After Nomination, He Asserts-McGinley Is Expected to Say He'll Run Again in a Few Days.

From Tuesday's Daily. Neither of the two Crawford County Democrats mentioned for places on other than the county ticket has vet announced his candidacy. While announcement from Topeka a time ago that P. J. McGinley would again ask for the Congressional nomination were pronounced premature, friends of the Frontenac banker think that he may within a few days publicly make it known that he is not averse to making the race.

A story which originally appeared in the Topeka Capital and was used by a number of papers in the state mentioning Ben S. Gaitskill as a probable candidate for the Democratic nomination for governor 1S said to have attracted some attention throughout the state. A Pittsburg Democrat with a state-wide acquaintance has recently received several letters inquiring how the Girard attorney stands in his home county. He says that the writers of these letters indicated that they favor Gaitskill's nomination. Mr.

Gaitskill has made no announcement. In fact he says he knows very little about his gubernatorial "boom." He does say that he is not going after the nomination. He indicates, however, that if it comes. to him it will be a different matter. ge; 90: Nothing succeeds like the success a of the girl who knows just she what wants for Christmas and hands the right young man a gentle hint.
