DAY READ THEM.
Topeka Man Could Read Notes OF
the Late ]. A. Young.

the Late ]. A. Young.
Topeka State Journal; When J. A.
Young, stenographer for the district
court in Dickinson county died, 1t
left litigation in Dad shape In that
county, and there was fear for some
time that no one would be able to
transcribe his stenographic notes, and
that it would therefore be impossible
to secure transcripts Of the evidence
necessary for the appeal Of many i'm
portant cases.
1t appears that at least a man has
been found who could at least make q
good strong effort at transcribing the
stenOgraphic note books Of the dead
stenographer.. The man is William
Day Of Topeka, and case was fled IN
the supreme court today from the
Dickinson county court which is the
first fruit Of MIR. Days work as a
transcriber.
The case is that Of the Uni n Paci-
fic railway, plaintiff in error against
Samuel Mccullough and hi' wife,
Florence Mccullough. 1t is a damage
suit in which the McCulloughs Sc
cured 1886 for the killing Of their
15-yeAr-old son.
The suit was brought July q, 1904,
and the amount Of damages claimed
was $4,000. 1t was claimed that
Purnell W. Mccullough, the l6-year-
old son, went to Solomon on April 10
with a wagon load Of corn. In CROSS
ing the tracks Of the Union Pacific on
Chestnut street, he was unable to see
the track for any distance owing to
the fact that a string Of freight cars
was standing on the siding. The on
coming passenger train struck mis-
wagon, and he was hurled so feet.
His skull was crushed and his spine
dislocated. He died in few hours
C. E. Rugh and David Overmyer were
his attorneys.
The case was tried before Judge "
L. Moore, and the jury brought IN
a verdict for the boys father and
mother in the sum Of $2,S75. Shortly
after the trial, the stenographer died
leaving his notes untranslated'
At the end Of the transcript Of the
record made by William Day. he
makes affidavit that he could read
Young's notes without any difficulty
and that the transcript is true and
correct.
But the attorneys for Mr.. and Mrs
Mccullough were disposed to chal
lenge this statement, and they hay'
gone through the record and made
large number of changes in the testi
mony as prepared by Day. They ais
filed formal objection with Judg'
Moore to the settling of the cas-
made, on the ground that the tran
script is SO full of inaccuracies that
lis valueless as a matter OF record
Judge Moore, however, held that /
was the best that could be had, AM
that the railroad company should no
be deprived Of its right to appeal 81
he signed the record.

 before, in 1904, comparing 1t with oth- CT branches of the International Red Cross. Leaving out of calculation doctors, nurses, hospitals and mate- rials, in the item of funds alone the
 Italian society reported in that year over $S00,000, the German society over $900,0O0, the Austrians over $1,700, 900, the French over $1,S00,000, and the Japanese over $4.000,000 Ours report ed sl,702! As the Japanese society was largest in material resources. so 1t was also largest in membership over S00,000 adherents; our member ship was 123! Despite its useful work the American Red Cross was not only poor in funds and members, it's affairs had been somewhat loosely conducted. By an act of congress passed year ago 1904), the American National Red Cross was newly organized. It is now incorporated under the laws of the District of Columbia and is brought directly under government supervision. Among other members of the board of incorporators, the charter provides that five are to be chosen from the departments of state, war, navy, tresury and justice. The Hon. William H.

How full of meaning the words "Red Crsss." They bespeak human itarianism, those wearing the badge are given right of way wherever emer- gency calls for quick relief, ready re- sponse of medical skill and nurses aid. We hear the San Franciscans were somewhat irritated that Presi- dent Roosevelt should have doubted the people of their stricken city would be equal to organization and conduct of relief work, for moment felt un- ready to bid welcome to the Red Cross official sent out to take charge of con tributions; but the president imme- diately gave assurance that turning over authority to the Red Cross as- sociation was merely intended to fill gap, an emergency measure, the or ganization brought to the fore that people might feel their gifts were to be disbursed by experienced hands, by business-like methods This assur- ance, and the attitude of Dr. Devine, the Red Cross representative, at once puts matters on an amiable footing, city and Red Cross are to act in har- mony.
 : Miss Clara Barton. the organizer of the first American Red Cross society, is now we'll up in years, and some time ago it was thought best that younger person assume the responsi- bilities of president. Through a long series of campaigns-beginning with the forest fires in Michigan and end-

ing with the Galveston disaster-Miss Barton had directed the activities of the society in work of much benefi- cence; large sums of money, contrib uted by the public. were usefully ex- pended; human suffering was allevi- ated in many widely separated fields: and thousands of people were helped to get on their feet after they had been stricken down by catastrophes of nature or the operations of war"
 While by no means minimizing the beneficence of the work done, cri:i- business methods in the Red Cross work, chief among the criticisms the declaration of the society's failure to make and publish properly audited statements of receipts and disburse- ments. During the Spanish war a number of business men in New York, wishing to cooperate with the Red Cross work, offered to give the so- ciety all the moneys collected if Miss Barton would allow them to send to Cuba to supervise and audit accounts. Their proposition was declined, and the business men decided to organize what became known as the New York Red Cross Auxiliary. the organization its own expenditures and at the end publishing a detailed ac- count thereof.
 IL was at this time the suggestion was made, with all the tact possible, that Miss Barton resign the post she had so long honored and her place be taken by ap ractical business man.

department now audits the accounts"
 It was Swiss gentleman, Henri Dunant, who founded the great Red Cross work. A man of wealth, he was travelling with his servant in northern Italy at the time of the dreadful battle of Solferino (June 24, 1s59), when 300,000 men faced each other in deadly array. when France bought her victory at the cost of 1000 men, the killed and wounded Austrians numbered 10000 The morning after the glorious victory" the sun rose on sight of indescrib- able horrors, ambulances and doctors so few little could be done to relieve the suffering, dead and wounded must be uncared for. NJ Dunant was so impressed with the dreadful spectacle he determined to take some step to waken the nations to the need of or ganized volunteer aid. He travelled from court to court in Europe, and as a result of his efforts a conference was held in Geneva in 1863, the fol- lowing year the convention was rati- fled by the high signatory powers:
 provision made for reforms in the treatment of the injured in battle, for the protection of hospital work. all hospitals to he indicated by a certain flag, a red cross on white ground.
 Shortly after the institution of the Red Cross it's beneficence was called into play. In the war of 1866 nearly 1i,O00 wounded Austrians were cared for by the Prussian society of the Red Cross. and in the Franco-Prussian war the Red Cross had 25,0O0 beds in towns between Dusseldorf and Baden alone. It was while helping on the battlefield in the last named war that Miss Barton. one of the best nurses of our civil war, realized the need for organizing a Red Cross society in America. and on her return home she laid the matter before President Car field. himself a soldier and cognizaut of conditions in time of war. With out undue delay the American Red Cross society vas organized. Even outside the miseries of war, this or ganizaiion has for It's prime object the relief of the suffering. Muskets and cannon may be slIent for awhile. but the warning clements. fire, water and wind may cause suffering at any time. With this in view there has been added to the original what Is called the American amendmeaL"
