TAFT WOULD RUN
Will Take Presidential Nomina-

But Says He Is Not Seeking the
Honor.
DOES NOT EXPECT 1T.
He Hears of Objections to His
Availability
OES NOT EXPECT 1T.
And They DO Not Appear to Les

Washington, Dec. 29.-Secretary
Taft made. the following statement to-
day concerning his presidential aspira-
tons:
For the purpose of relieving the
burden imposed by recent publications
upon some of my friends among the
Washington newspaper correspond
ents of putting further inquiries to me
I wish to say that my ambition IS not
political, that 1 am not seeking the
presidential nomination, that 1 do not
expect to be the Republican candidate
If for no other reason because of what
seems to me to be objections to my
availability which do not appear to
lessen with the continued discharge of
my own official duty, but that l am not
foolish enough to say that in the i'm
bile event that the opportunity to
run for the great Office Of president
were to come to me, 1 should decline,
for this would not be true"

SINNER TO Get IT.
Will BE Elected Secretary of
Railroad Board.
Mr.. Ryker Announces His Choice
Which Breaks Deadlock.

1t was announced today that E c.
Sinner will be selected as secretary of
the new state board of railroad com
missioners. c. A. Ryker of Hutchin-
son, who has been ION the fence has
decided to support Sinner. Kanavel
has already expressed himself in favor
of Sinner, and this leaves Frank
Ryan out on limb. Ryan was for
Tom Cordry: It is likely that when tie
board meets for organization, Sinner
will be elected without opposition.
A message confirming the above re-
port was received by the State Journal
as special from Hutchinson which is
Ryker's home. 1t says:
Hutchinson, Kan, Dec. 29.-E- c.
Sinner will be promoted from the posi-
ton of stenosrapher to that of secre-
tary of the state board of railroad
commissioners when the new board
organizes after induction into office the
second week in January c. A Ryker
of this city and G.. w. Kanavel of
harvey county will vote for Mr.. Sinner
and he may also get the vote of Frank
w. Ryan of Leavenworth who has all
along favored the election of T. A.
Cordry of Parsons. Mr.. Sinners choice
is due wholly to his qualifications and
to the record he has made during his
service as stenograpNer of the board.
No one has been selected for the latter
position
The election of Ed Sinner TO the posi-
ton of secretary will meet with general
approval. Mr. Sinner has been stenog-
rapher for the board for the past four
years, and in that position has done
the work of rate clerk, and has in adj
dition. gotten up the annual reports OF
the board. He compiled all the tables
called for by The Stone resolution at
the last session. and has studied the
rate question so carefully that BE is
now as well posted on the subject as
could be expected of a man who has
not served a long period in the traffic
department Of a railroad company.
w Y morgan. who was in Topeka
today. was asked why Mr. Ryksr had
so long delayed coming to decision
in the matter and said:
Mr.. Rykerf simply wanted to select
the very best man for the place He
did not know the qualifications of eth
er candidate, and had been putting in
his time finding out something about
the case. While I am personally very
friendly to Tom Cordry, I know that
Mr. Ryker has done what he thinks is
right in the matter"

NEW VIEWS ON SEX.

Extended Investigation.
Experiments Prove That Elk.
IRENE Conditions Have No Effect

New York, Dec. 29.=Announcemen
has been made before the physics sec
ton OF the American association for
the advancement of science, which is
IN session here of an important dis
covery relative to radium. It had been
suggested that radium was a deriva-
tive of another chemical element and
was in its present state merely temper
airy and uranium was set down as the
parent element. DR.. Bertram B. Bolt
wood and Prof. F. W. Rutherford
read papers demonstrating that ra-
dunn can be obtained from actinium
which is itself a derivative of uranium.
This discovery about the wonderful
element may lead to remarkable re-
suits. Prof. Rutherford holds thai
uranium IS the methusaleh OF ra-
dunn" and doubtless there are many
generations between unarium and ac-
tlnium and actinium and radium of
which as yet nothing is known.
Prof. Rutherford said that the disc ~
cry would not increase the supply Of
radlum- Prof T. H. Morgan read a pa
per before the American Society of Nat
uralsts dealing with the general SUP
Ject, The Biological and Significance
and Control of Sex" which excited
much interest because he discussed the
possibility Of determining sex in human
beings. He seriously questioned mat
theory which has prevailed in recent
years that nutrition has an intimate re-
lation to sex determination. He said
that it is apparent that so many other
external factors than food may be IN
volved that the slight difference upon
which the conclusion as to nutrition is
based, may be due to other conditions
than nutrition. If nutrition really was
such factor as had been conceded a
far greater disproportion of males 20 fe-
males in the offspring of the rich and
of the poor should be looked for he
said, than has been shown by Busing

detail work of the management of the
system, and that it will soon be an
nounced that he Will become chair
man OF the executive committee of the
board Of directors, and that he is to
be succeeded in the presidency by Mr..

ability of Mr.. Ripley that the Santa Fe

sumed command of the campaign for
the eneratiOn of the road after its
receivership troubles and the con.
sequent reorganization of the company
over ten years ago. In this reha bilita-
ton of the Santa Fe, Mr. Nudge

manager of the Santa F'e proper. He
is thoroughly familiar with the needs
and demands of the Santa Fe system,

most of railway officials in the United

BLAMES THE POLICE.
Judge Hayden Puts Responsibility for
Drunken Children at Their Door.

In his attack upon Chief Donovan
byterian church, Judge Hayden laid the
blame of the criminality among the
children of the city of Topeka upon the
police force. He said that it was their
fault that the places which caused the
downfall of so many young boys and
girls of IS and IA years old were not
closed up. The judge of the juvenile
court advocated the closing up of the
places instead of Furnishing children af-
ter allowing them to go into such dives.
Chief Donovan was somewhat Wrathy
over the judges speech and said this
morning: There is not a single arrest
for drunkenness of boys under is years
old. You can look on the books and
you will mot find a single one. 1t is not
our business to arrest boys under 16 that
belongs to the jevenile court
Judge Hayden said this morning.
There may not be any 16 year old boys
booked at the city jail but plenty of
them are brought in here. The police
do not do 1t but 1 have to send my depu-
ty out to get them I have 500 boys
brought in here for being found drunk
in low resorts. One little fellow I'M
der 10 years of age has been before
me at least ten times for this offense.
They and the little girls start down hill
first in the restaurants, then the dance
halls behind them and are graduated
into the low houses. Why, nowhere
except in Topeka and the wild west
can you find dance halls. They are a
thing of the past and have been ban
ished from Kansas City and the other
big cities long ago.

Chicago Is Planning 2 Big Agricultural
F'air for Next Fall.

Chicago. December 29.-The Chicago
Commercial association is planning the
greatest agricultural exposition ever
held In this country The fact de-
veloped through a conference held
with the executive committee of the
Western Passenger association, with a
view to ascertaining what rates the
railroads would give for such an event
The railroad men were also asked
to consider what the railroads would
contribute to promoting and carrying
through the exposition. The plan is
to hold a harvest home festival next
October or November. The railroad
men said there was little doubt that
the railroads would do all in their
power to aid the movement provided
it was made national in character and
was on a comprehensive plan. The
opinion was expressed that now is the
time to promote a national prosperity
jubilee and to have it in the metropolis
of the middle west. In the discussion
il was stated that several of the large
Buildings in Chicago would be rented
for the exhibits of the farm and OF
the forest 1t is also expected to have
an elaborate list of prizes. The rail-
roads signifsd willingness to make a
very low rate for the event.

RACE WAR A HOAX.
No Trouble Brewing at Perry as Re
ported Today.

Dispatches by telegraph from Perry,
Kan, say that serious trouble is fear
ed there between white citizens and a
band Of negroes and that several
clashes have already occurred which
eliminated last night when a white
farmer. named Joseph Welter, living
near Perry, was Seriously injured IN
a fight on the street with a negro
named Bryant.
Over the long distance telephone to-
day the town marshal of Perry said
that these dispatches were great ex-
aggerations- He said that Welter had
acted as deputy town marshal on
the night before Christmas and had
incurred the enmity of a few negroes
whose plans for merryma king on
Christmaa eve had been interfered
with by him. One OF these negroes
was Bryant. Welter and Bryant met
IN the street last night and had a fight
during the progress OF which BRYANT
bit one Of Welter's fingers This was
the only injury Welter received and

FRlCK IS SLATED.
pennsylvania Directors Seem to Favor
Steel Expert to Succeed Cassatt.

Pittsburg, Pa. Dec. 29=The gen
road men of the city is that Henry c.
Frick will be elected president OF the
Pennsylvania railroad to succeed Mr..
Cassatt who died yesterday.
When it was rumored last fall that
Mr.. Cassatt would retire Mr.. Tricks
name was mentioned for the place.
but his friends declared that his many
interests would not permit him to ac-
cept it. 1t was said at the time that
in the event OF Mr.. -Cassatt's retire
ment Mr. Frick. as, one of the largest
individual stockholders, would place
James McCrea. first vice president of
the Pennsylvania railroad, in the po-
sition.
Since then matters have changed,
however: the election of Mr.. FriclS as
director this week was considered
very significant in view of the fact
that there is good reason to believe
that a strike may be declared among
the workmen- With Mr.. Frick as =
director it was concluded that he
would devote great deal OF his time
to the affairs of the road in case of a.
strike. Now that the presidency Is
left open Mr.. Frlck is the logical man
to take the Lad Of the company
While directors OF the company will
not make an official statement owing
to the fact that no business meeting Of
the board has been held, several or
them said this afternoon at an infor-
NAL meeting to adopt resolutions on
the death OF Mr.. Cassatt that Mr.
Frick probably would be elected at the
first ballot.
