INTEREST IN THE RACE.
How the State Journal Kept People
Informed.

Great interest was shown in Topeka
concerning today's result in the series
of yacht races for the international
championship cup between the Sham
rock and the Columbia. and large crowd
stood before the State Journal Office con-
tinuously reading the bulletins.
The reports of the race were furnished
Marconi wireless telegraph. The news
was received in this manner at the New
York offices of the Associated Press in
the Western Union building from the
Associated Press boat which kept abreast
of the contesting yachts From the New
York office the reports were transmitted
to all the newspapers in the country
using the Associated Press The reports
were thus received in Topeka over the
leased wire in the State Journal office,
and were Immediately bulletined on the
windows
The novel method adopted by the State
Journal to show the relative positions
of the two boats as the race progressed
was unique and attractive. Nearly ev-
eryone who stopped to note the reports
first looked at the representation of the
ocean waves on the window over which
miniature reproductions of the two
yachts were suspended The turning
points were represented by red posts and
as the yachts progressed and one gain
ed or lost, the relative position was
shown by moving the boats on the win
dow The Shamrock was distinguished
by a clover leaf in green on the sails of
the English boat, and the Columbia by
the American flag at its masthead.

MISS 1RACY'S BENEFIT.
A Large Audience Enjoys Excellent
Music.

The concert given for Miss Gertrude
brought out 500 people to hear. 1t was
a critical audience and it's plaudits
went more generously to the vocalists
than to the instrumentalists
There were many recalls and the au-
dienee seemed to know very choice
numbers would be brought out in the
pathetic rendition of Bizet'S "A gnuS
Del" Mr.. Francis Fisher Powers re-
sponded with Allitsen S ELUSIVE Love
is a Bubble with sparkling effect. Mr..
Powers added to his strength as a To-
peka favorite in singing, at request, "A
Night Has a Thousand Eyes"
It is evidenced in the diligent work of
Mr.. Harold Stuart Briggs, pianist, and
Mr.. Karl Smith, violoncellist, that favor
with Topeka musical tastes cannot be
gained at a bound. Both young men
paved the way for a. warmer accept
ance however. Mr.. Smith was most
warmly appreciated for his Spanish
Dance" and the Evening STAR from
Tannhauser- Mr.. Briggs was accorded
a recall after the Cropin ballads in g
minor and making the happy selection
of Lavel1e's Butterfly" retained the
hard earned favor.
Mrs Parkhurst'sy numbers were es-
pecially enjoyed, happiest expression of
the well known soprano being found in
''Dich Theure Halle" and the Ave
Maria
An innovation in combining the audi
ence to the lower floor made cOncentra-
ton possible and minimized effort for
the singers. Usually the Auditorium is
by far too spacious for such musical
function, but this handling of the seat
ing of the audience was a happy solu-
ton of a heretofore perplexing problem.

DEAN IS HERE.
Ready to Take Place as Soon as
Commission Arrives.

j. S. Dean the new United States dis
trict attorney for Kansas, is here to-
day preparing to take charge of the
office as soon as his commission ar
rives. It was mailed at Washington
Monday night, and is expected to arrive
today or tomorrow. Mr.. Dean will be
sworn in next Saturday.
Dean gave it out today that Assist
ant District Attorney Harry Bone will
be retained until his term expires in
December.
From this statement it is taken that
Ed McKeever will have to wait until
Bones term is out to regularly sue
coed him. This arrangement is re-
garded as a matter of convenience to
Dean until he gets the swing of the
docket. He will take charge of the
cases that come before the federal
court next week

the biography of the stag hound up to
date, the tear-stained story of the death
of the two bull pups on the chopping
block.
A. NJ Thomas, the lawyer, then took
the stand He testified about the trial
of Hicks in the city court for the theft
of the stag hound and said: after the
trial was over and Hicks was acquitted
Leland walked down street with me and
said that with the ring of politicians

case, haven't your asked Attorney
Doran of Thomas.
as"
Haven't you filed an attorneys lien
for 81 900 attorney fees?"
Yes" replied Thomas rather re-
luctantly.
The lawyers for Hicks then rested
their case and Leland's attorneys en-
tered demurrer.
Lawyer Thomas wanted to discuss the
demurrer. He wished to show that Leland
was greatly interested in the outcome OF
that Leland was out of humor when the
court did not find Hicks guilty.
.sIt is a constitutional right of a man
in this country not to be satisfied with
the decision of a court" said Judge
Hazen and hesus stained the demurrer so
far as Leland was concerned. Leland
was out of it and the case went on with
Clark as the star who will have to pay
81 05O damages if it is found that Leland
owned the two dead bull pups and Hicks
owned the hound.
