HOMEOPATHS ARE HERE
Incidentally They Are on Warpath to
Get More Recognition.

The Kansas State Homeopathic Med
icai society has its weapons out and is
shining them up preparatory to giving
battle to clans old enemies, the Allo-
paths or regulars. The society con-
venes in its thirty-eighth annual ses-
sion in Topeka, commencing with this
afternoon. The sessions will be Eeld
both morning and evening with ban
quet Friday evening, and concluding
with a business session Saturday after
noon. But the battle, rumors of which
are circulating about. is the most in
outsider. The battle will be over an
attempt to have physicians of the
Homeopathic school appointed on the
various state medical examining
boards, in addition to appointees as
physicians at the various state inStitu-
tions. This is an old fight but the
members of the newer school of medi-
cine are by no means disheartened over
the failures to secure political recogni-
ton in Kansas in the past
THAT isn't all by any means" said
Dr. Eva Harding. I'VE are going to
try and see if we cant have homeo-
pathy recognized at the State univer-
sity alongside of allopathy. The two
years course down there has always
been in charge of the aIlopaths and we
are going to demand that our school be
recognized in the curriculum of the
course offered there. Then there is the
on the state examining boards and as
physicians at these institutions. You
wouldn't think it, would YOU that a
state could be so prejudiced that it
wouldn't recognize one school Of medi-
cine. I don't think there is another
state in the Union in which recognition
is not granted our school in the state
departments.
IN all the boards and physicians ap-
pointed by the governor of the state at
the states Institutions there is not
single homeopathic physician. They
are all aIlopaths, every one of them.
Homeopathy was used by the phySi-
clans in the Japanese war and the Jap
anese prefer that to any other school.
We think that the state of Kansas
should be broad enough to cover all
schools. Let both schools be represent
there is, they will surely do it when
they are both on the same board and
are pitted against each other
In addition to the physicians which
the state employs at the various state
institutions there are five physi-
medical registration and examination
and the state board of health.
The appointments are made by the
governor, who does 50 on the advice of
physicians who come in to make rec
ommendation-
The session this afternoon will be
largely a business one. It commenced

EngIishmen Don't Understand
Our Commercial Conditions.
In Spite Of Big Home Trade
Exports Increase.
COMING OF LABORERS.
Marvel at ABSORPTION of aMillion
Without Effect.
Indications That Present Activ-
ity Will Continue.

Washington, May 10.-An English
view OF American prosperity is pre-
sented in a report on the trade of the
United States for the year 1905" by
British Commercial Agent Bell, a copy
of which report to the British foreign
Office has just reached the department
OF commerce and labor through It's bu-
reau of statistics. The report refers
to the absorption of over 1000, 600
immigrants without affecting the
labor market" the increase of money
in circulation. ETC., and among other
things says:
IN dealing with the exports from
the United States during 1905, the first
thing that strikes one is the fact that
Notwithstanding the enormous volume
of the home trade, the value of manu-
fsctured articles exported should have
increased to such an extent
III this is possible during such
times as these, when every industry is
fully occupied, it is not difficult to
imagine what will be the result when
the home demand slackens and when
the manufacturers who have so greatly
enlarged and extended their works to
meet the extra demand for their prod
ucts are obliged to look for extended
markets outside the United States in
order to keep their mills and factories
fully employed.
when it is remembered that it is
only by keeping down expenses to the
lowest point that renders it possible
for the majority of the manufacturers
In this country to compete in foreign
markets. one can realize how essential
it is that they find new neutral mar
kets where their surplus products can
be disposed of SO as to avoid accumu-
larion of stocks.
There are no signs at present of
this great activity decreasing. On the
contrary. there is every indication that
the present year will be quite as pros
porous as the past or more so. The
country was never more prosperous
than at present Industrial operations
are carried on upon a larger scale than
ever"

CRAPSEY VERDICT.
Its Nature Won't Be Given out Till
Bishop Approves.

Batavia, N. Y. May 10.-The eccle-
siastical court which tried DR.. AIgernon
A. Crapsey. rector of St Andrews
church of Rochester. on a charge of
heresy, has ended its work A verdict
was reached and the document con-
tanning the findings of tbs court was
drawn up, signed and forwarded to
Bishop Walker at Buffalo. Until the
verdict has been reviewed by Bishop
Walker. no official Information as to its
contents can be secured The publish
ed statement to the effect that the
court had voted four to one against
DR.. Crapsey on both specifications is
declared to be only guess work. Rev
W alter {, Roberts, president of the
court, made the following statement to
the Associated Press:
There is absolutely no truth in any
statement that may have been printed
saying that the ecclesiastical court in
the case of DR.. Crapsey or any member
of it to my knowledge or in my belief
has announced what its verdict is. All
that has been given out is the simple
statement that a verdict has been
reached. The findings of the court will
be forWa rded to Bishop Walker by
lie. Neither has Judge North, the as
SCISSOR, made a statement A remark
dropped by Rev. Charles H. Boynton
of Geneseo to the clerk of the court,
was unanimous for DR.. Crapsey's con-
viction. but differed as to the degree of
punishment"
In answer to a question as to
whether the president and clerk would
sign the findings, Dr.. Boynton replied:
They all will sign them"
Bishop Walker has the power to
modify the sentence if the verdict is
against DR.. Crapsey, although he is
without power to increase

STANDARD CASE BEGINS
Government Investigation to Ascertain
Connection With Railroads.

Chicago, May 10.-The inquiry by
the government through the interstate
commerce commission into the rela-
tions by the Standard Oil company and
the railroads Of the country COM
menced here today.
Two of the points upon which it is
said the investigation will endeavor to
throw light are the matter of the pipe
lines of the Standard Oil company,
which are laid along the railroads
rights of way and the purchase of Ga
lena oil by the railroads for headlight
and signal purposes.
The first witness was E. M. Wnhoit
of Topeka, Kan, now an independent oil
operator, but 10 years ago an agent of
the Standard Oil company. He testified
that while in the employ of the Stand
ard Oil company he had, in following
out the instructions of his superior Off
GERS. bribed clerks in the offices of rail-
roads and employees of independent oil
concerns in order to obtain information
as to details of the business done by
rivals of the Standard Oil company He
declared that agents Of the Standard
Oil company are held personally re-
sponsible for all oil sold in their terri
tory by independent companies and
that the drivers of tank wagons are ex-
pected to keep up their stock by selling
205 to 208 gallons from a wagon load OF
200 gallons. He said that the actual
tests of the products of the Standard
Oil company to determine the quality
are carefully guarded and that when it
was found necessary to cut the price to
meet the figure of a competitor cheap
er quality Of oil was substituted and
guaranteed to be Of a higher grade than
it really was.
Mr. Wilhoit said that frequently three
grades of oil were sold from the same
tank by agents of the Standard Oil COM
