III miss my guess. Their desire to get
into the best possible shape is certainly
pleasing to me, and every man who has
reported at my room has expressed
himself as more than anxious to do his
best. This harmonious feeling between
player and manager wins part of the
battle, and it remains to be seen wheth-
er my Judgment that they are compet-
ent to carry out their wishes is correct
or not"
A rumor that Tommy Dowd would
Join the Giants was emphatically de-
MED by Manager Ewing.

EAST SIDE SUB STATION.
Postmaster Guthrie Trying to Estab-
1ish One In Parkdale.

Postmaster Guthrie is at work to Sc
cure another subs = Ion postoffiee for
Topeka. 1t will be for the special ac-
commodation of the people of Parkdale,
and will probably be located at the cor
ner of Sixth avenue and Lawrence
street.
Judge Guthrie has canvassed the local
situation and has made the necessary
local arrangements, such as securing a
room for the substatiOn and outlining
the territory to be covered by it, and if
the arrangements prove satisfactory to
the postoffice department at Washing
ton the station will be established.
If this station is established all the
outlying suburbs will be supplied with
postofffce facilities without coming to
the federal building. At present there
are three subStatiOnS-one in North To-
peka, one near Washburn college and
one in Potwin. The last two have been
established since Judge Guthrie was ap-
pointed postmaster. If a fourth is estab-
Eshed in Parkdale it will make one at
each point of the compass.
All the territory east of the Shunga-
nunga would be served from the Park
dale station, and as soon as a rural free
delivery route is established east of the
city, it will start from the Parkdale
station

STATE TAKES 1T UP.
Governor to Ask Every Person to
Give a Bushel of Corn For India.

Governor Stanley will issue a procla-
nation within the next day or two call
ing upon every man, woman and child
in the state TO contribute a bushel of
corn, or its equivalent in money and
so much more as may be desired, for the
relief of the starving people of India.
The proclamation will name a Sunday
on which pastors of churches all over
the state viii be expected to set aside
all contributions for the famine fund.-
and another day on which contributions
shall be taken up in all public schools
The mayor and councils of the various
cities will also be called upon to take an
active interest in the work.
Major T. J. Anderson, secretary of
the Commercial club, will be the head
Of the movement. He will be allowed a
handsome compensation for his work
and viii have authority to employ all
necessary clerical help.
The corn raised win not be shipped to
India but will be disposed of, probably
at auction, in New York City This is
because of the danger of heating in the
trip through the tropics to India.
The Kansas railroads will be asked to
instruct all agents in Kansas to re-
ceive contributions of corn from farm
ers in their respective localities.
All this was decided upon at the meet
ing of the executive committee, named
at the mass meeting last night, in Gov
ernor Sranley's office this morning. Gov
ernor Stanley presided and a majority
of the committee was present.
1t was unanimously the opinion at the
start Of the meeting that a man should
be selected to have entire control of
the work of raising corn and money, and
Bishop Millspaugh suggested Major An
derson. The secretary of the Commercial
club was at once communicated with
and asked to meet with the committee.
When he arrived he stated that he
would be willing to undertake the work
provided the Commercial club was will
ing to relieve him of all duties during
the time necessary.
A special meeting of the directors of
the club is being held this afternoon as
a result, and if the directors do not de-
eide to take the responsibility of relieV-
ing Major Anderson temporarily, a Spe-
cial meeting of the club will be called
tonight. Mr. John z. Frost, vice presi-
dent Of the club and a member of the
| famine committee, stated that he felt
certain the club would dispense with
Major Anderson's services in favor OF
| the movement.
A second meeting of the executive
| committee will probably be held tomor-
row morning, at which arrangements
will be made for the governors procla-
nation If relieved from Commercial
| club duties, Major Anderson will at once
/ formulate plans for raising the millioT
| bushels of corn, which is the object o.
| the movement.
