The Washburn-B Baker basketball
game to be played in Topeka Friday
night promises to be a bloodthirsty
affair. Baker was defeated by Wash

down here for revenge. Baker and
Washburn are not noted for their love
for each other in any intercollegiate
affairs.
At the meeting of the board OF
health Monday afternoon, the plan of
assigning a physician to each school
in the city was favorably recommend
ed 1t was also decided to report ia
vorably to the city council on the re-
constructing of the barn which was
burned down, and the purchase of a
new pest house ambulance, which was
destroyed in the fire.
Manager Frank Leach of Washburn
athletics has decided that it would be
impossible for the Washburn girls
basketball team to play the Lincoln
High school girls on Wednesday or
Thursday night in Topeka While of
course the financial part of the matter
has some bearing, the fact too is con-
sidered, that the Washburn girls play
the Baker university girls for the state
championship on Friday in Topeka,
and Mr.. Leach thinks it would not be
wise for them to play a game before
that date.

were taken to establish the society in
Texas and the people who have taken
up with the plan are now looking for
suitable men to occupy the state and
district offices. This is the eighth state
which the society has entered since its
incention three years ago.

1000 A DAY.
Flood of Inquiries from Pen
sion Applicants.

Washington, March 29.-Pension Off
Gals stand aghast at the number of
inquiries flooding the bureau from vet
Grams who intend to make application
for service pensions under the recent
order. The great unknown army is
making itself heard from with a ven
geance. Applica lions for pensions and
inquiries how to proceed are being re-
ceived at the rate of LOCO a day The
number shows no sign of falling off,
and is likely to increase rather than
diminish. The applications are coming
from every section of the Unitel
States. 1t was stated today by an Of
fetal that the estimate of Representa-
tive Miers that the order would in
crease pension payments $14, 600 900
probably would be far below the mark.
He said it appeared as if every old
soldier and every old soldiers widow
had become suddenly active.

MITCHELL TO LEAD.

Denver. Colo, March 29-John Mitch

that he will take personal charge of the
strike OF the coal miners in the state.

board of the national organization, and
Chris Evans. the financial representa-

meeting will be attended by President
Samuel GomDers and other leaders.

state wherever they touched the White
House was over.
1t might as well be said here as it
has never appeared before in print, that
from this date the nomination of Charles
Blood Smith, Burtons candidate for
federal judge to succeed Judge Hook, was
impossible. The president even went SO
far ais to say to a certain member of con-
gTess that he wanted to appoint a given
candidate and for that reason did not
want him to get the Endorsement of Bur
ton. The people of Kansas would not
had a senator who was acceptable to the
president and the newspaper stories were
little things" Wbich--Tnake speeta cular
and grotesque Senator Burton's senator
ial career. Most Of -tnem-are indiscretions
due to egotism and utter lack of tact
There is his determined attempt to ar
range a senatorial Junket to Hawaii and
subsequent Championship of Lihuokalanf's
claim for damages against the govern
ment Of the United States; his objection
to clerks visiting him at his home ana
his patronizing observation about treating
another of his fellow citizens as If they
were ON terms of equality. The sum o.
it all was by that time he soon was as
much in disfavor in the senate as at the
White House, with numerous newspaper
charges to confront about questionable
money transactions.
FOLK AND KNOX INTERESTED.
This was the situation with regard to
Senator Burton when Joseph w Folk
came to Washington. The district attor-
ney from st. Louis came here to secure a
modification of extraditiOn treaties, but
he had another case in mind. At the
time Judge Adams dismissed the proceed
ings in the federal court in St Louis,
which involved certain officials of the Ri
alto Grain and Securities company, he
rendered an oral opinion pronouncing the
scheme an infamous one to mulct a gull
BILE public and declared that the state au-
thorities should take it up. Folk plunged
into the case with the kind of enthusiasm
which has resulted in setting Missouri on
fire When Burton's connection with this
concern was reached Folk discovered that
his offense could be prosecuted with a
greater chance of conviction If turned
over to the federal authorities. He talked
with the president and the president pass

WILL WEAR GREY.
Uniforms for Topeka Baseball Team
Adopted.

The Topeka Missouri Valley League
wear gray uniforms with red trim
mings. This was officially decided upon
at the meeting of the board of directors
last night. The caps are to be of gray,
with red beading through the ribs.
Red sleeves and red collars will adorn
the shirts, and also the word Topeka"
across the breast in red letters. Red
belts and stockings will also be worn.
No jerseys will be used. Measurements
for the uniforms will be taken as
quickly as possible and the order
turned into Spalding's, SO that the
clothes will be here on April Is.
1t was decided to have Manager Gus
Alberts, who begins his position as
manager on April 1. to collect all of the
unpaid pledges, which aggregate a
total of almost $500. Mr. Alberts will
be furnished with the authority to get
the money, and those who have not yet
paid their subscriptions should do so
to Mr.. Alberts at the earliest possible
date.
The managers proposal to have the
men report at St. Joe on April. 16 for
the opening game of the season met
with the favor of the directors. On
the next day, Sunday, the Topeka team
will be taken to Atchison for a game
with Ed Green's professionals.
Their the team viii come home for hard
practice and will play but three more
preliminary games, these being with
Washburn, before the regular season
opens upon May /.

the Flood.

Saginaw, Mich. March 29.-The Sagi-
nav river continues to rise. and the
same general flood conditions exist
about the city as did yesterday. The
water is somewhat higher than yester-
day and consequently has inflicted
more loss to the merchants and factory
owners whose places of business are
partially submerged and closed Be
tween Saginaw and Bay City the ice
in the Saginaw river is over two feet
deep in places. and dynamite has had
little effect in clearing the channel.
Down river reports today tell of much
suffering and exposure. 1t is not ex
pected that the river will fall much if
any TO-DAY.
