its retention at the Belasco Theater in

The scenic splendor with which the
play Is mounted IS more than well
known In it. Mr. Beiasco's skill il
the creation of beautiful effects is seen
at the height OF its development Be
sides beauty, he has given the series
of pictures a character and depth that
have earned commendation from those
who are most familiar with Japan and
its scenic possibilities. Japanese
scholars themselves have furnished the
warmest praise received by Mr. Belas-
given them by the effort as drama
have felicitated him upon the execution
OF his intention OF giving the play a
historically accurate setting.
A typical BeiascO cast is seen in The
Darling of the Gods" this season. Miss
Prey HasweH has succeeded to the
role OF Yo-San. Her pOrtrsyais Of Jap

peculiarly for the assumption OF this

WALTER CAMPS IDEA.
Wants Washburn- Fairmount Game
Played Under Ten-Yard Rule.

The first response to the letters sent
out by DR.. John OutIand, coach of the
Washburn football team, to the au-
thorities on the game asking for point
ers for playing the Christmas dav ex-
hibition game under the proposed
change of rules has been received from
Walter Camp.
Mr.. Camp writes as follows:
Dear Mr.. Outland: Your favor of
the 18th is at hand and I shall be verv
much interested in hearing about that
Christmas day game which you speak
of whatever rules it is played under, I
should hope, however. that a very def
mite attempt would be made to play
it under the simple doubling of the dis
lance to be gained from five yards to
ten yards and keep the number of
downs the same, and at the same time
forbidding tackling below the knees in
order to lessen danger of accident in the
more open play"
Other letters from the Harvard, Yale,
Chicago, Michigan and Pennsylvania
coaches are expected to be received.
The game under question will be play

that he attacked him, Ackley, with a

When the police arrived Klein backed
into a corner and made a motion as if
he were going to draw revolver,
threatening to kill them and himself
before he would allow them to take

on the man and disarmed him. He did
not carry a revolver.

TOURIST CAR EXCURSIONS.
TranscontinentaI Lines Rescind Deci-
sion to Abolish Them.

Some time ago it was announced
that the Atchison, Topeka & Santa
Fe, the Chicago, Rock. Island & Pa
cifc. the Southern Pacific and other
transcontinental lines had decided
that after the first of the year they
would handle no more personally
conducted parties in tourist cars It
was the opinion of the passenger
traffic officials of these roads that per-
sons were becoming SO familiar with
the trips to the southwest and south
ern California that it was therefore
unnecessary to run personally con-
Quoted excursions in tourist cars.
But many roads having connections
with the transcontinentaI lines, and
who do a big business in personally
conducted tourist parties raised such
a furore at the decision of the trans
continental lines that the latter have
been obliged to recede from the posi-
ton they have taken. However, there
is to be a Encouragement of the rules
under which this business has been
conducted, but these notifications VIII
not affect the business materially, and
personally conducted tourist parties
will continue to be the order of the
day.
Had the decision OF the transcon-
tinenta1 lines to abolish this business
remained firm. fully fully one hun
dred and twenty-five conductors, who
are used in it, would have been thrown
out of employment.

NULL PROSECUTION RESTS.
One Witness in Poisoning Case Re-
fused to Testify.

Mngman, kas-. Dec. 16.-The pros
ecution in the Null poisoning case
rested today after the state had made
an inefectual effort to use as a wit
ness H. c. Kelley, who is accused OF
being an accomplice of Mrs. Null in
the Killing OF the latter's husband. KEEL
ley refused to be sworn on the ground
that any testimony he might give
might be used against him in his trial.
Upon this plea Judge GiI1et excused
him from testifying.
Two of the most important witnesses
for the prosecution were William
Maudsley of KiOwa county and Frank
Donavan. Maudsley testified that KEEL
ley worked for him as a threshing
hand and on the day Null was taken
sick Kelley left, saying he was going
to Hot Springs, Ark Instead, Kelley
got off the train at CullisOn, the home
of the NuIls.
Donavan worked with Kelley and
testified that he addressed a letter to
Mrs. Null for Kelley. At that time.
Donavan testified, Kelley said he was
going to help Mrs. Null get a divorce
and that he didn't have to work for
$3.50 a day. He said, the witness as
serted, that Mrs. Null would stake
him to $500. It was brought out in
the evidence that Mrs. Null sued her
husband for divorce some time ago and
that the court ordered Null to pay
her $500 temporary alimony and $3.50
attorney fees. The divorce suit was
dismissed later.
[. NJ. Grosemans administrator for
Null's estate, said it amounted to S24-
ance. NulIs policy divided $4,000 Of
the insurance money among his four
children and gave $3.50 to his wife,
the rest going to his estate.

THIS DOCTOR GETS No PAY.
Conductor Lacked Authority to Call
Him to Treat Trespasser.

OOnAUCtOE l}dEkCu authority TO OdA
Him to Treat Trespasser.
A man in attempting to board a
freight train of the International 6.
Great Northern road in Texas was run
over and his legs were so mangled that
they had to be amputated. The con-
ductOr called a physician, who treated
the injured trespasser and afterwards
sued the company for $3.50 for his SER
vices. The trial court refused judg-
ment against the company, and the
court of civil appeals at Austin in
affirming the decision, says. I'VE do
not undertake to say what would be the
power and duty of a conductor of the
railway company where a passenger or
employee was injured. Here the injured
party was a trespasser. The condition
that called for treatment was attributa-
bic to his own negligence, and we can
not see how the railroad company can
be held liable for the medical expenses
incurred in treating such a. person, I'M
less it had obligated itself through some
authorized agent to incur such liability.
We can find nothing in the power usual
ly delegated to a conductor, or in the
duties that he is required to perform.
that implies the authority to make con-
tracts binding his principal, whereby it
should be burdenAd with the cost and
expense of the treatment of injured per-
sons for whose condition it could in no
wise be held responsible"
