is responsible for Topeka's loss of GER
tain high grade attractions, which play
in Atchison and other cities.
Why should the Topeka public be
given a real high priced $3.50 attrac-
ton when it will pay $3.50 for s1.00
shows?
As long as Topeka patronizes ex-
tortion and pays to enter unsafe
theaters, so long it is presumed Craw-
ford will have his grip on public and
purse.
The careful reader well remembers
that Crawford got his tentacles on our
Auditorium and it took the supreme
court of Kansas to shake him loose
from his grasp on that hall built by
the people and which today furnishes
the only safe public hall open to the
amusement loving people of Topeka at
reasonable rates.

INSANE ON POLITICS.
Kansas City License Inspector Thought
of Nothing Else.

Kansas City, Nov. 1s.-william P.
Hayde, who shot himself while his To-
year-old son lay sleeping beside him,
was doubtless insane.
He seemed to think of nothing ex-
cept politics. said John c. Hayde, a
brother. There is no doubt in our
minds that Will was mentally unbal-
anced when he killed himself, condi-
ton caused by insomnia. We know of
no reason why he should wish to die
He was hard worker, giving all his
time and thought to his office as
license Inspector. Mrs. Hayde knows
no more about the terrible affair than
L do. She is Frustrated. She has
thought her husband depressed at
times but attributed it to political
matters that worried him."
The office of county license in
spector was one of the best ap-
pointive offices in the county. The
salary and fees amounted to about
$2,700 a year. Mr.. Hayde received SIS
allowed him $1.50 as a notary for
swearing each applicant for a saloon
license to his original petition and its
renewal.
licenses expire. The saloon keeper
must present a petition of taxpayers
asking that the saloon be allowed to
run before the license can be granted
This petition is then taken to the
license inspector, who passes upon it
and who receives the applicants oath
as to the genuineness of the sigma
lures. The county has about 600 sa-
looms. This means 5000 on July 4
for the license inspector.
On January 4 all licenses must be
at which time each saloon
keeper must again take oath before
the license inspector, for which he.
the inspector, receives another 81 so
fee or a total of 5000. In other
words Mr.. Hayde received $500 a
year in notary fees and 5000 salary,
making a total of $2,700.

BREAK IN WHEAT.
Prices Sagged More Than Two Cents
in Chicago Pit.

Chicago, Nov. 19.-Under heavy
liquidation wheat prices here today
broke over two cents a bushel. The
market was affected by the compare
lively weak tone of foreign grain mar
kets and by reports from Argentina
claiming a bumper crop under way.
The decline was apparently started by
liberal profit taking on the part of
several large holders. On the break
many stop loss orders were reached
and the result was additional weak
ness. The market closed practically
at the lowest point of the day. Final
quotations on December were down
21ac at $1.0SA. May closed at
$1.09H, loss of rs @2Hc.

UP TO ~COCkRELL.
Senator Can Have Place on Canal
Board If He Wants 1t.

Washington, Nov. 19.-While no an
nouncement yet has been made re-
garding the presidents action in the
selection of a man to succeed Colonel
Frank F. Hecker on the Isthmian
canal commission, it is known that he
is considering seriously the appoint
ment of Senator Francis M. Cockrell
of Missouri to the vacancy. 1t is in
timated that Senator Cockrell himself
practically will have the determination
of the matter. If his health will per-
NIT him to undertake the arduous
work of the commission, it is reason
ably certain that he have the appoint
ment- The president, who holds Sena-
tor CockreI in high esteem, personally
and officially feels that the service of
a man of his character and ability
should not be lost to the government,
if the senator should desire to con-
tinue in active public work. If the
senator should conclude that he does
not care to undertake the work of the
president will give him some congenial
position BETTING his character and
services.
He Will Consider 1t.
Kansas City, Mo-, Nov. 19.-In talk

long distance telephone today from his
home at Warrensburg, Senator Cockrell
said in regard to the Washington item

full consideration. However, it is man

LOWE CASE GOES OVER.
Defendant in Murder Case Still in the
Asylum.

The Lowe murder case in the district
court will be continued until the next
term of court.
J. c. Lowe, who was charged with mur-
dering his wife, Fanny Lowe, at the re-
form school two years ago, is now con-
fired in the Osawatomie insane asylum.
Lowe was tried twice in the district court.
At the first trial he was convicted. His
attorneys secured a new trial on error
and before the second trial was completed
Lowe became unmana geable and was
tried in the probate court and found to be
insane and was committed to the Osawat-
omie asylum. The case against Lowe can
be continued indefinitely, as his being
sent to the asylum is no bar to future
trial. County Attorney Hungate says he
will continue the case SO long as he is

with the union expired next March no
more contracts would be entered into
except with individuals. This ulti-
matum was the cause of the strike.

A comparison between the state

condition the municipality is now en-
joying.
The balance which the state had on
hand, according to the last reports

the treasury almost 100000.
Nothing better illustrates the ex-

a balance on hand larger than the

Both of Them Too Badly Damaged
to be Worth Saving.
The tug w. F. McCauley, command
ed by Capt. Van B. Avery, reached
savannah yesterday from the trip to
Miami, where the tug went to tow
the rock breaker for use in the har-
Dor of that port.
The rough time that the tug and
its tow experienced was related in
yesterdays Morning News. Coming
home Capt. Avery says he had a fair
ly good trip. On the way back he
stopped to examine two wrecked ves-
sells to see if they could be saved.
One of these was the German bark
entine Zion, out Of Pensacola for Lon
don, with cargo of lumber. 1t went
ashore near Fort Lauderdale and
broke in two; the second vessel was
the schooner James B. Judge, which
went ashore near Palm Beach. 1t was
without cargo.
The schooner, as well as the barken-
tine, was in pretty bad shape, Capt.
Avery says, and hardly worth the
saving. On Thursday afternoon the
McCauley spoke, off Jupiter, the
schooner Malcolmn B. Seavey, out of
Philadelphia, bound for Port Tampa.
This vessel reported everything all
right except the loss of some sails.
The Seavey had been in company with
the Judge. Carrying a load it was in
better condition to Withstand the
gale and so rode it out while it's less
fortunate companion went ashore.

Commander II. S. colding, who has

Until almost the close OF the last

Roosevelt. The bills we're favorably
reported, and will no doubt be passed.
1t is thought that they will do much
towards fostering the naval esprit dc
corps in Savannah.
It was also ascertained by Com
mand0r Colding that the chances for
having a ship stationed here with a
skeleton crew are fine. Should such a
thing be done the officers believe It
