These meetings will be the last of
series which have been held at various
places in eastern Kansas during the
last two weeks under the direction of
the Santa Fe and which have been adj
dressed by Mr. King, c. F. Miller of
Fort Scott, president of the Kansas
Good Roads association; I. D. Graham,
secretary of the association, and Prof.
w. c. Hoad, Of the engineering depart
ment of the State university. This
party is delivering lectures and giving
demonstrations at Emporia today and
will arrive here in their private car,
with which they have been making the
journey, early tomorrow morning.
Although unusual crowds have at
tended these lectures during the past
ten days at the various places visited,
it Is the opinion of the members of the
Commercial club and the officials of
the Santa Fe that the meetings here in
Topeka tomorrow viii surpass them all
in point of attendance and enthusiasm.
Between the lectures in the morning
and afternoon Mr.. King will give a
demonstration of the efficacy of his
drag on some dirt street in the city
which is in bad condition just what
particular place will be used for dem
onstration has not been decided on yet
but it will be announced at the meeting
in the morning. The Commercial club
has made arrangements for team Of
horses to be used in this demonstration.
Since this good roads lecture tour was
started the passenger department of the
Santa Fe which has the matter in
charge. has been flooded with requests
from all over the state for lectures by
Mr.. King. Because of previous engage
ments the present tour could not be ex-
tended. but 1t is probable that the Santa
Fe will arrange other trips Of the same
kind in the near future so that the peo-
,,4o in, al Df fhp state viii have
opportunity of learning just how they
can put their roads in the best possible
condition and at minimum of expense
and labor.

Grow today, for a day or two vet. He

about it.
This unusual statement was made in
the course of Mr.. Keplingers speech in
defense of J. A. Smith, the Kansas City
attorney, against whom disbarment pro-
ceedings are pending. Smith is accused
of taking $40 and 5000 diamond pin
from a man named Blank. in payment
for Services which Smith was to rem
der. The Services consisted IN either
giving false testimony in a lawsuit in
which Blank was interested. or in
avoiding service of subpoena, and not
testifying at all. Smith admits that he
got this property as pay for Illegal
services. but declares that he did not
carry out his part of the arrangement,
and that as Blank gave him the prop
erty as a bribe, he does not have to
give it back Blank brought action to
recover his diamond, and the lower
court decided in his favor. Smith ap-
peaIed to the supreme court, and the
supreme court not only sustained the
lower court, but rendered the "obitur
dictum'' that there was probably sufd-
cient cause to disbar Smith from prac-
tice. On this suggestion, the dlsbar-
ment proceedings were commenced,
and in the district court, Smith was
disbarred. He is now seeking re-
versal from the supreme court.
Smith did not appear in the supreme
court yesterday to plead his own case,
but Mr. KepIinger was there or him.

]. S. VICTORIOUS
IN WIRELESS
CONFERENCE

Berlin. Nov. 2-The delegates 10 the
wireless telegraph conference signed
convention yesterday. The agreement is
framed upon the principle OF free inter-
communication between all systems. but
Great Britain and Italy signed with res
servations designed to protect the existing
arrangements with the MarconI COM
pany.
The delegates OF the United States at
the beginning of the conference declared
for an international agreement. providing
for the unrestricted exchange OF messages
between ship and shore and Slip and
snip. regardless OF the system OF radio
teIegraphy used. The term ''radio-tsleg-
raphy" was chosen as the one TO be
used officially In defining the new func-
ZION Of electricity.
Germany supported the United states
regarding accommodation between
ship and shore, but during the first ses-
sions or the conference practically all the
delegates opposed the idea OF a free ex-
change OF messages between ship and
ship as one which II persisted in might
bring the conference TO nothing.
Great Britain resolutely led the opposi-
tion 10 both contentious, but stood ulti-
mately alone. except for Italy, all the
other maritime powers taking the United
States view.
Autobiography will have an inter-
national bureau OF information and a
clearing house. similar TO the information
al postal and telegraph bureaus at Berne.
Upon Ambassador Tower as the rank
ing United States delegate, fell the duty
OF upholding the position OF the United
states. The final action OF the conference
is regarded by his colleagues as largely
due TO the way In which Mr.. Tower met
objections day after day in open debate.

IN j. s. NAVY

washington, Nov. 3.--Tuberculosis has
made alarming inroads upon the per-
sonnel of the navy and marine corps In
,pite OF the measures taken py medical
officers TO check the disease.
The annual report OF Rear Admiral
Rlxey,, surgeon general of the navy
which was made public yesterday, shows
mat in 1906 the number or tuberculosis
cases I'm the service was 243, or 6.l for
every 1000 men. In lSD the ratlo was ohly
? to every 1000.
More careful examination OF recruits is
urged by Admiral Rixey. who also sug-
casts that greater care must be taken III
isolating tuberculosis cases. He suggests
that men whose work keeps them below
decks should be required TO take exercise
on deck regularly.
Admiral Rixey's report shows that the
marines who went to the canal zone on
the Columbia, and were quartered there
from May to July OF this year, were
great sufferers from malaria. The snip
returned to Boston on July q. and be-
tween July 13 and the time OF the ar
rival at Boston. 2l5 OF the 29S officers and
men suffered acute malarial paroxysms.
The return 10 northern climate banished
the malaria rapidly, and no cases proved
fatal. Most of the men were bitten py
mosquitoes while encamped NJ Camp
Reed, near Corozal.
