with its predecessors, and in fact the

make much more interesting score
than the White Sox have of late, and
Topeka had almost the tail ender yes

mercury did reach the high point of
the season. Out of the thirteen sta
uons that reported for yesterday, IL
OF them had temperatures of 100 or
above, while at Mcpherson the mer-

four of the other stations reported 104.
Z Yesterdays maximum in Topeka was
only 80. Today's minimum was 76,
while 1T ran up to Sc by 9 o'clock and
then in the next hour took a tumble
of two degrees. The wind is blowing
from the southwest at the rate of IL
miles per hour. We are promised fair
and cooler weather in the west for to-
night with showers and fair in the east
for tonight and tomorrow.
High temperature continued over
Kansas yesterday and extended into
los degrees covered the central coun-
ties from Harvey to Cloud and from
Russell to Riley. Cloudy weather pre-
vailed this morning in northeastern
Kansas and northwestern Missouri, with

INDEMNITY BARS PEACE.
1t Is the Only Stumbling Block in the
Way of a Treaty.

way ia a AICatys
st. Petersburg, Aug. A.-The Associ-
ated Press has the best of reasons and
authority for declaring again, with in
creased emphasis, that Russia will
never consent to the payment of an in
demnity to Japan. Such payment
would so gravely menace the vital in
terests of the state as to make this ar
ticle in the Japan peace terms utterly
impossible of acceptance. Furthermore,
the Associated Press has the same re6-
sons and authority for the declaration
that If Japan withdraws her indemnity
demand peace would practically be as
sured, as the Russian attitude on the
other three points, including the cession
of Sakhalin, does not preclude the possi-
bility of reaching a settlement on these
points. Indemnity is the crux of the
whole matter. If this question can be
arranged it is believed here that all
other questions on which there has been

DAVE BARRY IN CONDITION.
Rugged Middleweight In Great Trim
for HIS Fight Thursday Night.

After Tomorrow Dave Larry Will not
put on a glove until he dons the mitts
with Tommy Burns at Woodward's Pa
vilion on Thursday night. The gritty
fighter is within a pound or two OF the
required weight and by cutting out the
daily boxing bouts he precludes the
possibility of injuring his hands, a
thing all fighters dread more than any
thing else.
Dave looks the picture of ruggedness
as he lounges about his training place
His gymnasium over at CrolPs at Ala
media is suitably adapted to the work
and his several trainers keep him on
the hop continually, so he has but
little time to loaf. OF his fitness Tor
the coming battle there is no cause
for complaint and with his three weeks
of work the muscles of his body are
like whipcord. Barry has had any
amount of practice with the gloves and
he has been very fortunate in having
excellent sparring partners in Alex
Greggains, George Lange and Tom Sui
livan. AS to weight Dave can draw
the beam at 160 pounds fiat and when
he starts to dry out Tuesday it will
bring him to the stipulated 15S pounds
nicely.
Tommy Burns entertained some
friends at his San Rafael gymnasium
yesterday and his boxing bout with
Warren Zurbrick was applauded' by the
visitors. Burns is within three pounds
of the weight.

MAY CHANGE THE DATE
CT BIG FOOTBALL GAME
Stanford Gridfron Omcials Wish 1t to
BE Held AEnin ON Thanks
giving Day.


STANFORD UNIVERSITY. Aug 26--
The football season for the eleven OF
the Stanford University, which will be-
gin the first Monday after registration.
will be extremely short. The Climax
the intercollegiate contest between the
Blue and Gold and the Cardinal will come
on November IL The season will be
shorter than that of theswearers OF the
golden &C" by several weeks. The fact
that 1t opens so soon after the begin
ming of studies at the university has
caused Manager r. w. Barrett to look
for a possible remedy. To move the
big game back to the original day,
Thanksgiving, seems to fill all require
ments.
The original objection to the contest
taking place upon the holiday was that
raised by the faculties OF both universi-
ties. who claimed the seasons were too
long. The clergy objected when the games
were played In San Francisco because 1t
created in their estimation. a counter
feeling which was foreign to the proper
spirit to be observed upon the day OF
thanksgiving. The matter finally reached
head when the disaster at the athletic
grounds at Sixteenth and Folsom streets
occurred. Head Coach James flanagan
and Treasurer and Manager R. w. Bar
rett. who both are strongly In favor Of
the return to the original day. have Of
fered the following. arguments to refute
those offered by the faculty:
If the date of the intercollegiate con-
test was set for Thanksgiving 1t would
not lengthen the season. as 1t would only
be necessary to begin the practice a lit
tie later. This arrangement would allow
all freshmen ample time to settle their
outside affairs and become familiar with
the routine of studies.
The beginning of practice later In the
season would give the Cardinal an oppor-
tunity to obtain games with other col
leges, which at present is almost impos-
sible, as these desirable teams are not
organized so early in the year.
Obtaining the games with other uni
versities would obliterate the necessity
of post-season games This, custom has
been strongly protested by the faculty
and should act as a strong incentive to
have the game returned to the original
date
The argument which concerns the
team and it's equipment mostly Is the
financial standpoint. which would be
greatly benefited by a change, Thanks
giving being a day upon which all
would be free to attend.
As the intercollegiate committee on
football does not meet until the first
of the year, 1t Is impossible that the
desired change can be made this year.
Manager Barrett does not anticipate
any objection to the proposed plan from
those In charge of the California affairs.

Among the crowd that thronged the
Pacific Mail wharf yesterday to wit
ness the departure of the liner Mon

MIA blossoms and sunshine combined to
transform the freight-laden wharf into
a summer garden. The liner was
crowded with passenger and every
passenger appeared TO have score OF
friends on the dock. Blossoms and
pretty faces fringed the liners rail,
and lifted 10 the huge steamship as
she slowly glided away from her berth
