WANT DR.. HAVIGHORST.
First Methodist Congregation SIN
After Ohio Pastor.

Hope has not been given up by the
members of the congregation OF the
First Methodist Episcopal church of
securing the Rev. DR.. A. r. Havighorst,
now assigned to a place IN the Ohio
conference. rs the suec@ssor Of DIT. NJ.
G. Evans. As a MISTER Of fact the
question as TO whether or not DR..
HaVighorst Will assume the pastorate
of the First Methodist church here
rests with himself The bishops of the
church, who have charge of the mat
ter, are willing that DR.. Havighorst
shall serve here and it is now for DR..
viii accept the call which has been
rendered him.
During the last week the congrega-
ton of the First church held a meet
ing and entrusted to committee of
five the matter of finding a successor
for DR.. Evans. The committee ap-
pointed consists of Harrison Clarkson,
chairman; Charles S. Elliott; John Y.
Abrahams, George Noble and 7. B.
Sweet Some days before this COM
mittee was appointed, the official board
of the church on hearing of DR.. Evans
assignment to the presiding eldership Of
the Oakland district, decided that the
services of DR.. Havighorst should be
secured if possible and a tentative call
was sent to him. OF course the as
signment of pastors in the Methodist
church rests with the bishops of the
various conferences, but they usually
try to find q way 10 assign man to
charge who is wanted by the congrega-
zion where there is a vacancy. At the
time this tentative call was sent to DR..
Havigh0rst he replied that he did not
see his way clear to accept it because
he had Just been assigned to a charge
in the. Ohio conference.
The special committee got busy,
however. and after a correspondence
with Bfsnop Bashford, in charge of
the Ohio conference. and Bishop Will
son of the Kansas conference, they
learned that these bishops were agree
able to DR.. Havighorst coming here If
his consent could be secured. These
facts have been communicated to DIR.
Havighorst and the special committee
are awaiting his reply, which is ex-
pected at any time, as to whether or
not he will accept the charge.

Wichita Quakers VIII Meet Washburn
on Grfdiron.

The first intercollegiate football game
to be played in Topeka this fall will
be the game next Wednesday between
Washburn college and Friends uni
versity Of wichita Not much can Je
learned as to the strength Of the Wash
burn team this fall as they have played
none Of the college teams of the stare.
The game last Saturday did not give
very much Of a line on the team as
they were not accustomed to the new
rules and played more Of an expert
mental game than anything else. They
have not had much scTinmage practice
among the blue squad as yet owing to
the scarcity of men which come out to
practice. The game Saturday was the
first real good scrimmage the boys have
had this year.
Friends have played one game this
year. They beat the fast Winfield coll
Iege team last Saturday by a score of
10 to 0. They played a fast and heady
game and from their showing in the
game ought to make things pretty live
ly for the egarionals next We'd
nesday. According to tlze ~lehita
Eagle Friends have the best team in
the history of that college.
The following is the way Friends lined
up last Saturday: Center, Holmes;
right guard, Hackney; right tackle,
Binford: right end. Stanley: left guard.
jackson, left tackle, Shinn: left end,
I4itsey; quarterback, Wentworth; right
half Woodward: left half Johns; full
back. Howard (captain); subs, True
blood Carr and Lewis.

New York. Oct. ALBERT ]. Adams,
who made q large fortune as the head
Of the policy gambling combine, shot
himself in the head last night at his
home in this city. His body was found
this morning.
Adams had been in poor health since
his release from Sing Sing prison,
where he served a term for having
conducted a policy game in this city.
Soon after his release he became presi-
dert of the Guanajuato ANA lgamated
Gold Mines company. He was report
ed to be the financial backer Of the
firm of NJ. J. Sage & Co.. Of this city
and New Jersey, the offices of which
were rafded in August on a complaint
that the company was conducting a.
bucket shop Mr.. Adams, son of Albert
j. Adams, jr., however, declared that
the only Albert J. Adams connected
with the Sage company was himself.
Al Adams took his life primarily
because Of the bounding he has received
at the hands of the newspapers, said
w E. Stokes. when 1 went to Sing
Sing, sent there by the governor to see
what could be done for Sam Parks, 1
found Parks en- a hospital cot Nurs-
ing him was Al Adams who had known
me for years. He said: If 1 remain
much longer here I will die told him
I could do nothing for him unless he
agreed to sever his connection with
policy business
Mr.. Stokes said that Adams agreed
and was released from prison.
Lately. Mr. Stokes said. Adams told
him that he had suffered losses
amounting to 100000, OF which $4,000
was lost IN Union Pacific stocks. Ac-
cording to Mr. Stokes. Adams told him
that he had loaned 81, ,O0e 900 to his son,
that he had loaned $4,000 to a trust
company and that he had much money
invested in stocks from which he could
realize nothing at pres ssnt-
About six months ago Mr.. Stokes said
Adams appeared to be greatly depress-
ed and Mr.. Stokes asked him if-ne was
worried by business troubles.
No it is not that" replied Adams,
but the newspapers and magazines
have been bounding meso long about the
policy and bucket shop business that I

stand it, old man; there has got to be

I might as well finish it."
At the office of the Colonial Securi-
ties company, of which Adams was
treasurer. it was said today that Adams
had been Ill Of diabetes for a year and
prompted him to commit suicide. An
official of the company said that Mr..
Adams did not end his life because he
had losx his fortune for he did not lose
it. At the time of his death he was
q very wealthy man. He was one of
the largest Individual holders of corner
real estate in the city. He was also
interested IN other business ventures
paying large returns.

MAGOON ARRIVES.
Says Work on the Canal Is Progressing
Satisfactorily.

New York, Oct. Charles z. Ma
goon, the retiring American minister to
Panama and governor Of the canal zone,
arrived here today on the steamer Pan
anna from Colon. He was accompanied
by Joseph W. J. Lee, American minis
ter to Ecuador. Thomas w. Cook, coli
lector of revenue for the canal zone,
and ]. B. Gabriel DuQue, a Panama
Governor Ndagoon said that conditions
on the isthmus are most favorable. The
canal zone he considers well governed
and the people happy and prosperous
He said that work on the canal is pro-
crossing satisfactorily, although it is
still in the preliminary stage. He sa Id
he had not been informed concerning his
successor as minister to Panama and
declined to discuss the possibility of
himself going to the Philippines. He is
not sure that he is going to the Philip
pines he said.
Discussing conditions on the isthmus
Governor MagoOn said:
THE work on the isthmus is going on
well. can safely say that the govern
ment of the zone is as good as that Of
any other locality in this country. My
relations with the Panama government
have been most pleasant throughout.
The canal work is progressing as
rapidly as possible, but as yet it is
merely the work Of preparation. The
main difficulty there is the labor Ques-
ton. Cur labor is drawn from Jamaica
and Barbados Those people are intel
lgent and with some education, but the
trouble is that the West Indian is a
bird Of passage. You get him to un-
derstand what you want and fairly ed
ucated to his work, when he suddenly
drops everything and goes away. What
is needed Oh the isthmus Is organization
of the laborers. They should be divided
into gangs with a skilled man at the
head of each gang to instruct them in
the work and to advance those who
become proficient in any line OrEani-
zation along this line is under way at
the present time

ANTICIPAT LAINTS
Interstate Commission win Construe
Law Before Kicks Are Made.

Washington. Oct 1.-The Interstate
commerce commission has reached a
further conclusion with respect to the
railway rate law which it has embodied
in a general order made public today. It
holds that where a state rate forms a
part Of an interstate rate the state rate
should be filed with the commission.
This is an entirely new feature in con-
nection with the operations of the in
terstate commerce commission.
The further announcement was made
by the commission that 1t Intends, wher-
ever possible to construe the law in ad-
vance without waiting for any particu-
lar complaint to be made upon which
to base Its decision. In this way it is
expected that a large number of com
plants will be anticipated and the
work Of the commission corresponding
w Iesaened.

s.No. L don't care to answer charges
made in the Kansas city Star or

morning, with reference to the article
printed in the Kansas City paper
charging that all the jointists are in

star and Times are making a campaign
Ct falsehOOd against me, and l think
people realize this TO be the case 1
haven't read what the Star says about
the jointists coming over to my sup
port but if they are, they are simply
doing what everybody is doing There
is no sincerity in the Stars fight, and
the very men who are writing these
articles predicting my annihilation
know that there IS no basis for their
claims"
Governor Hoch feels very confident
that his election in November is al
the fears of some members of his
party that there is danger to the ticket
from the prohibition issue. the Katy
Issue or the school book issue.

that I almost feel sorry for the peO-
pie who have TO write the stuff for
