not cure the scalp. The disease won't
yield to quinine or capsicum nor alco-

must be destroyed. Until recently there
was no hair preparation or dandruff

that dries up the scalp in little scales
called dandruff and absorbes the vital

Present indications are that the

that trains viii be regularly operated

Of seventy-six miles west from Tezico

Although enough material to make
few good sized books has been writ

railroad building which IS costing the
Santa Fe millions Of dollars and which
win lessen tn time to the coast sew

which have not been mentioned before.
Among some of the features which inn
pressed the mem bers Of the inspection
party on this trip is stretch of thirty
four miles without a curve just out of
TexicO and the fact that the line
crosses the Abo Canyon at heights
ranging from ninety to one hundred
feet seven times within three miles.
Conditions throughout the country
we visited are most prosperous said
MI Hurley. These snow storms dur
ing the last few days are just what

WHO'LL PAY THEM.
Question of Liability on DevIin Pro
tested Checks.

The responsibility of assuming the
payment of claims aggregating $127 600
was argued by the attorneys of the First
National bank of this city and the City
National bank of Kansas City before
Judge F. F. Oldham at the Real Es+a+e
building Saturday. Both Of the banks
above mentioned were involved in the
Devlin crash and the S127, 900 is a part
of the history OF frenzied finance. Judge
Oldham is attached to the comptroller
of the currency's department at Wash
ington, D. c. The hearing in question
has already extended over several daYs
having been argued for the past two
days at Kansas City and is now being
argued here.
The s127. Goo consists of protested
checks issued by the Southwestern Fuel
company on both the City National and
the First National banks. Neither bank
cares to assume the payment of these
checks. The City National is setting
up the claim that the First National IS
liable for these protested checks.

M'KEEVER'S TROUBLES.
His Home on West Tenth Avenue Is
ScOrched.

A fire starting from a furnace
badly damaged the home of E. D.
McKeever. formerly assistant United
States district attorney, at 8:15 this
morning. Mr.. McKeeyer lives at 1914
West Tenth avenue The damage has
not been placed as yet, but il is fu
covered by insurance Smoke and
heat are responsible for most of the
damage on the first floor. the fire
being confined to the basement, where
the flames shooting out from the fur
mace badly burned the woodwork.
Some delay was experienced at first
in running the line of hose, due to the
fact that fire plug on the corner of
Tenth avenue and Buchanan street
cured here and the lines of hose had
to be run from Clay and Tenth.
The family was eating breakfast at
the time of the fire, and the ringing
Of an electric bell which had the wires
severed by the fire called Mr.. Nc
Keever's first attention to the fact that
the fire had broken out.
On the first floor the flame
scorched the stairway ia the hall and
otherwise injured the woodwork; in
the remaining rooms on the first floor
the dense smoke caused the heaviest
damage. The rooms on the second
floor largely escaped injury. The fur
nishings of the first floor viii suffer
heavily.
"I am getting used to running into
streaks Of bad luck" said Mr.. Nc
Keever The firemen did good work
and responded promptly"
The smoke on the first floor was so
thick when the firemen arrived that
they were forced to crawl on the floor
on their hands and knees in order to
fight their way in.

DROP THE NAMES.
Rabbi SiIverman Wants All Churches
Known by Numbers.

New York, March 12-Rabbi
Joseph Si1verman said at a meeting Of
the New York state conference of re-
ligion. held last night in the Univer-
salist church of the Divine Paternity,
that he wished all the churches in the
city could discard their different
names and be numbered like public
schools.
DR.. Silverman declared that the
great religions. such as Christianity
Buddhism, Mohammedanism and
Judaism, were in essence one and the
same thing and that the differences
were those of nomenclature only.
His reason for suggesting that the
churches discard their names was that
IN this way. the people would forget to
what denomination they belonged and
the interdenOminational strife would
be eliminated.

arrived but his hand baggage was

where the cushions and floor were COW

marked the outside Of the car behind
this compartment Search was made
along the track, and Letween two small
stations about 30 miles from Geneva. the
body of the architect was found with
his throat cut. It turned out. however,
that he did not have the SO, 600 with
him, but, like a rational man. had re-

ADMIT PAYING REBATES.
Big Four Freight Agent Tells How
shippers Were Favored.

Cincinnati, March 72.-That the Big
Four railroad had paid cash rebates
on shipments of steel from PiCtsDurg
to Kansas City and otherwise had IA
vored shippers was declared on Sat
urdav by General Freight Agent
George H. ingalls, in the hearing be-
fore the interstate commerce commits
sion. Commissioners Prouty and
Clements conducted the inquiry; ana a
number Of railroad officials, chiefly q
the Big Four company, had respond
ed to summonses to appear before the
commission.
T. E Conner, general agent OF the
road In this city after being promised
immunity from prosecution for any
thing that he might disclose, said that
a large number of shippers were per
mitted to ship over his road at their
own statement of the weight shipped.
The Cincinnati freight committee
determines who shall go on this ia
vored Weighing list" he said, but Mr.
Conner declared that he had no
knowledge who constituted this freight
committee.
The Cincinnati Gas. Coke and Coal
Mining company was one shipper
whose bills were presented as showing
a favored rate and the committee re-
quested that the witness produce a
copy Of every ticket and every ship
ping bill on every shipment by the
Cincinnati Gas, Coke and Coal Mining
company.
Mr.. ingalls, then was called and
claimed the same immunity granted
to Mr.. Conner. ingalls, said that he
understood that coal had been shipped
at weights less than actual weight, SO
that the difference caused a reduction
in earnings of from So to 50 per car.
Being pressed for specific instance
where any traffic on his system had
been carried at less than published
rates Mr. ingalls, said.
I'VE carried a shipment of steel
from Pittsburg to Kansas City last
year at less than regular tariff.'
Did you pay a rebate ?" he was
| asked.
Yes. sir" replied Mr.. ingalls,.
How did you pay this rebate, by
cash, check, underbilIing, damage
claims commission, or how ?''
I'VE gave them the money" ra-
piled Mr.. Ingalls,
Mr.; ingalls, was unable to give fur
ther instances from memory. but ex-
pressed a Willingness to give any facts
he could obtain if so ordered. The
com mission then issued sweenine
order directing Mr.. ingalls, to give al
