confidential purposes these moneys
were used. He did not know anyone
who could tell what legal matters re-
quired the payment of S100, GOO in one
year to the general solicitor.
Mr.. Hughes then asked if the gen
eraI solicitor could not get $4,000
whenever he pleased without disclosing
the purpose for which it was to be
used, and witness replied that he could.
The legal expenses for 1904 were re-
ported at S354.000. while those of the
New York Life Insurance company
were $4,000 and those of the Equit-
able 100000.
DR.. Gillette said he never inquired in
to the reason of the Mutual Life's legal
expenses, being SO much greater than
the two other companies. He said the
general solicitor never made a report
of what he did with moneys he paid
him, that he was never asked for a
report and received no vouchers or re-
ceiptS. Witness stated he didn't know
how a cent of the money went.
Dr. Gillette said that when he secur-
ed the SIS. 600 in 1904 he told Mr.. Oily
phant what he intended to use it for.
he said no money had been expended
in any state or municipal campaign nor
had there been any contribution to any
congressional committee beyond the one
heretofore mentioned.
Witness said that A. c. Fields, super
fntendent of the supply department, re-
ceives a salary of $4,000 a year, but
had not looked after this department
for several years owing to i'll health.

ENGLISH FOOTBALL.
Comes to America to Show Their Game
Is the Best.

New York, Oct. 1O.-Sir Charles
Kirkpatrick and his team of English
amateur association football players
arrived here last night. The British
ers, who are travelling under the name
of the Pilgrims. arrived at Montreal on
September ?. Since that time they
have played 13 games, winning ten, los
ing two and drawing one.
The mission of the Britishers is to
demonstrate to the American public
the advantages of association football
as sport over the game played by
the college teams.
The members Of the team have wit
messed several college football games
and emphatically declare that the game
is not football at all, but a test of
brute strength, with very little science.
Captain Mines voiced the sentiment
of the members of his team yesterday
when he said:
Il cannot see much merit in the foot
ball game as played by the American
colleges. It is involved, unscientific,
and puts a premium on brute strength.
The game we play is szillfuI. scientific
and easy to understand" D."
The visitors will remain in this city
until Friday afternoon when they leave
for FAN River where they will play on
Saturday. They win return to New
York Monday and begin practice for
the match with the all-New York, on
Saturday, October q. Invitations will
be sent to several of the presidents
and members of the faculties of the
big eastern colleges to witness the
game.

People.

The Eames seat sale at StansseId's s
started this morning with a rush. A
large number of reservations were
made in advance and quite a number of
sales of tickets on orders sent in from
out of town were received. Lawrence,
Holton and Emporia have been sending
in the largest number of orders. The
total number of tickets sold at Holton
is not known yet for the reason that
sales of tickets were made directly at
that place and a great number were
sold there without any record having
been received yet in Topeka of the
exact number.
At 2:30 this afternoon one-half of the
parquet was gone and about one-third
of the balcony There is a brisk de-
mand for the S1.50 seats which include
all but the first five rows in the dress
circle and the first ten rows in the
central portion of the balcony and the
five rows on the side.
Mr. Frank Foster said: "The seat
sale is going to meet my expectations.
There is every indication that the
house will be sold out. Alma, Kan,
bought all the tickets which we sent
down and asked for so more. This is
in excess of the sale there of tickets for
the Nordica attraction

ASK HOCH'S AID.
Session OF Friends Desire the Gov
ernor to Clean Up Wichita.

Wichita. Kas., Oct 1O.-The
Friends yearly meeting. which is in
session at the Friends university in
this city. passed radical resolutions
on the temperance question. Rev.
Robt Morris, secretary of the State
Temperance union; Rev Mary Sib-
bitt, state lecturer of the w. c. T. u,
and State Chairman Earl R. Delay
of the Prohibition party are all mem
bers of this church, and are here
looking after the temperance work
of the church Following are the res
Olutions in part:
I'VE, the members of the Kansas
yearly meeting of Friends, desire to
call the attention of our people to the
Importance Of the temperance ques-
ton. We believe the successful ac-
cOmplishment of the mission of the
church, that is, to save souls, requires
the speedy determination of the liquor
traffic.
I'm the state of Kansas we stand
for the issue of law enforcement; and
we quote and endorse the minutes of
our last yearly meeting, to the effect
that Friends be careful in exercising
their right of suffrage to cast their
ballots for such candidates only as are
known to be opposed to the liquor
traffic and openly in favor of law en-
forcement. We further demand that
our officials respect their oaths of
Office and not relax their efforts until
every joint is driven from the state.
We commend the governor of the
state of Kansas for his declared in
tention to purge the state of joints.
and We bid him Godspeed in all that
he does TO that end; stiid we pledse
him the hearty support of every
Friend in Kansas in every such effort
that he may put forth. And. on ac-
count of our Friends university being
situated in the city of Wichita. and
because of fragrant violation of the
prohibitory law in this city, with its
attendant evils that surround the stu
dent body, we especially appeal to him
for the enforcement Of the law in this
vicinity.
The following memorial was ad-
dressed to the national congress:
We, the Kansas yearly meeting OF
Friends in session assembled. repre-
senung eleven thousand members, do
hereby petition and pray the senators
and representatives, of our national
congress to give their votes and in
fluence to such measures as will grant
to the Indian Territory and Oklahoma
when admitted to the union the en-
abling act ensuring the prohibition
of the liquor traffic therein"

M'CABE WONT STAND IT
City Engineer Says Dreaming Is Med
ding With His Affairs.

And now it's City Engineer James Nc
Cabe and City Attorney r. c. Drenning
who have decided not to love each
other. City Attorney Drenning believes
that the city engineer has reckoned
wrongly in his estimates for purchas-
ing a municipal plant and resurfacing
Kansas avenue. In support he cites the
figures which he has obtained from
texts on asphalt pavements. He also
resorts TO letters received Monday from
the Barber Asphalt company.
The city engineer believes that the
city attorney is poaching on his ground.
If he would spend some of that
money on law books instead Of some Of
these asphalt books ! think the city
would be a great deal better off, said
James McCabe this morning with ref
erenee to +. G. DSenning.
z should think the city attorney
would have enough to look after in his
own department without trying to run
another mans. AT least he COM
planned at the beginning of the admtn-
istratiOn that he had all he could han
die. continued McCabe. There viii
probably be some trouble between the
city attorney and myself yet If it keeps
on this way was the parting remark
Of the city engineer
Dreaming says that he will have seme
experts in the city shortly who will be
able to give some advice on resurfacing.
i have written to a number, said ne,
and tney VIII be along mere soon.
viii also receive a whole batch OF let
ters which have been writing around
to ind ont about these things.
The A. L. Barber coHasaany states that
it win take 409 tons OF asphalt. Ber-
nudez. with IS tons of asphaltic oil for
the 1900 square yards on KaIsSs ave
nue.. McCabe's estimates were S32 and
go tons respectively. He figures the oil
at $26 a ton. Drenning says that IT
can be gotten for SO. McCabe said
this morning. i would ike to know
where Drenning got his price on that
oil. Proctor himself in his report to the
Municipal Engineer gives the cost at
$3.50 FOR a ton. The reason that I
had so large amount of tonnage is that
I figured on using Trinidad asphalt
which has not by half so much bitumin
as Bermudez and takes correspondingiy
a great deal greater tonnage than the
Bermudez."
Barber makes a price for Topeka of
SIS a ton for Bermudez. This is two
dollars and half higher than it is sold
in Detroit to the municipal plant there.
But on bid it would doubtless be con-
siderably reduced from S28. 1t can't be
shipped direct from South America to
Topeka because it has to be refined first
in New York CITY.

Its Own.

E. B. Schermerhorn, chairman of
the state board of control, has gone to
Garnett with DR.. Perry, of the Par
sons asylum. for the purpose Of buying
cattle for the use of the asylum. The
last legislature appropriated $4,000 to
the Parsons hospital for the purpose

horses. None OF the money has been
expended, and the Parsons people are
beginning to long for the joys of fresh
milk.
Herds of cattle are maintained at
nearly all the state institutions and it
has been found profitable to supply
the needs of the schools in this va.v
instead Of buying milk.

APPEAL TO ELKS.
Asked to Take Lead in Mother Flor
ence Memorial.

As result Of the conference between
Governor Hoch and the Salvation Army
officers, it has been decided that the
Topeka Elks viii be asked to take the
lead in raising money for a memorial
building to Mother Florence.
There is some talk Of having a big
benefit entertainment for the purpose of
raising funds.
Meantime Mother Florence's funeral
expenses are still unpaid. This fact is
probably not generally known, but it
is a fact nevertheless. The family of
Mother Florence has no funds to dis
charge the debt and the Salvation Army
offered to donate only one-third of the
full amount Of the bill. The funeral
expenses were $50
It is indeed unfortunate that arrange
nents have not been made ere this to
pay the funeral expenses.
