ADJOURNED TO SMOKE
After Court Had OverruIed standard
Oil Attorney.

F'indIay, o.. Oct. 10.-After a sharp
legal argument of an hour and a half
today the testimony given by John D.
Rockefeller in 1898 before the supreme
court of the state, was admitted as evi-
dence in the trial here of the Standard
Oil company OF Ohio, charged with con-
spiracy against trade.
In admitting the evidence which
illuminated the methods of the STAN
dard at that time, Judge Banker said
it was simply to enlighten the jury
as to conditions prior to the period COW
cred in the present suit and not to prove
any act during the past three years,
covered by the suit.
Before this ruling was arrived at At
torneys Kline, Troup and Tolls for the
defense, had all made arguments
against admitting the testimony. Attor-
ney General Ellis became active for
the first time in the case by making thu
principal argument for the prosecution
favoring the admission Of evidence. The
reading is expected to consume the bal
ance Of the day
An application of Mr.. Kline to take
a smoke resulted in a brief recess of
court at 1920.

HE BROKE HER JAW.
No Wonder Mrs. Sarah Mitchell seeks
Divorce From Husband.

If only one-half Of the allega tons
in the petition filed by Sarah G. Mitch
ell, who is asking for a divorce from
her husband William H. Mitchell, are
true she ought to be entitled to a di-
vorce and a pension for life as well as
a comfortable home in the future
world.
All of the allegations are not
enumerated in this story for the rea-
son that space is not available and for
other reasons as well. Chief among
them are these: At various times he
is said to have cursed her in the
presence of their minor children, there
being three of them, also in the pres
ence of others, not members of the
family.
Once he broke her jaw. according to
her story, and at numerous other times
he struck and beat her and at another
time which she remembers and
enumerates he struck her in the
mouth with such force that she lost a
handful more or less. of her teeth.
Again he BACKED her eyes. the petit
ton states, and once on the thirtieth
day of last month he became
so rough in his treatment Of his better
half that the police were called to stop
the row and he was taken to the police
station and the next morning faced
the stern faced judge. who gave him a
fine for his conduct of the preceding
evening. The charge also says that he
spent much of his earnings for strong
drink In the place Of on his family.

is the sum total Of things accomplish

which they are subjected to reputable
scrutiny and the purifying light Of day.

KEPT BRYAN BUSY.
The Democratic Statesman Given Great
Reception at Wichita.

Wichita, Kan, Oct 10.-W. ]. Bryan
made six speeches here Tuesday. being
accorded a great reception by mem
bers of all parties. Five thousand per
sons heard him at night in the Coliseum
at Wonderland park. He declared that
he was more interested in the success
of the political ideas which he had been
advocating than in furthering his own
candidacy for any Office.
1.-The people Of this country have for
a generation paid too much homage to
men with money" he said. But a
change is now taking place." An evil
dence of this he cited the controversy
in a missionary council over the ques-
ttOn Of accepting a donation from John
D. Rockefeller Heretofore the object
had seemed so good that churches and
schools have been glad to accept such
funds and ask no questions. The dis
cussion arising recently indicates that
the time is coming when the unJuStly
rich man must spend his money him
self. I win be glad to see that day. 1
shall rejoice when it becomes the Gus
tom to say to the rich man who thus
tries to ease his conscience and to buy
the good will of his fellowmen, No, you
got your money by violating your obli-
cation to be just and humane to the
poor and you may now keep it to learn
how poor is the man who has nothing
but money

BY Injunction and in favor of arbitra-
ton of labor disputes He advocated
an income tax for the support of the
general government I propose to
stand for such a tax" he said, until
the constitution is amended to read so
clear that no nine judges, nor any judge
can ever change his mind or read it any
other way" He declared he had re-
turned from the Philippines more than

of the progress of the world toward

Santa Fe viii Shorten Trans
continental Service.
Through Trains VIII Miss
Topeka, Says Mr. Black.

The time card meeting in progress
at the general offices of the Atchison
Topeka and Santa Fe railroad com
pany in this city today it is announced,
will not bring forth any important
changes in the present scheduled run
ming time Of passenger trains.
Another years time, however, will
develop changes which will affect To-
peka, In that a portion OF the trans
continental passenger trains now
scheduled to run through this city will
be moved over the Ottawa -Emporia
out-o1 and south through wichita to
take advantage of the shorter mileage
of the Belen cutoff in New Mexico.
It is planned to reduce the running
time of a portion of the transcontin-
entail trains not less than six hours and
possibly more
W. J. Black, passenger traffic man
ager of the Santa Fe is here today in
attendance at the time card meeting.
He said:
I'VE expect to have the new line Of
the Belen cutoff open for traffic by
the first of January. We do not ex-
pect to Immediately begin running the
transcOntinental passenger trains over
this line. Nearly a year will be spent
In ballasting, surfacing the track and
in getting it in readiness Tor fast run
ming trains. The transcontinenta1
freight trains will be moved this way
during that time and by a year from
now the line should be in shape to
make excellent time with passenger
trains. Although the line will be less
than miles shorter than the present
line over the mountains, all grades are
eliminated, and we expect to cut off
not less than six hours in the running
time of the transcontinental trains.
1T has not been definitely decided
as yet which trains win be moved over
this line. Very likely but four through
trains Will be run that way at first.
They will be the California Limited.
Nos. 3 and 4 and the others will be
either and 8 or and 10.
Much as I regret to see it. I am
afraid that the demands of the travel
ing public will make it necessary to
run these trains via the shortest route
and that viii very likely take them off
the main line through Topeka
Mr. Black declares that he looks for
still greater travel to California this
season than ever before notwithstand-
ing the earthquake and fire at San
Francisco. "The tourist business should
be greater" he said. ION account OF
the fact that the points of interest for
sightseers in Southern California are
still as attractive as ever and the ruins
of San Francisco only add another
reason for the sightseers to put in a
season there. and Of course the Grand
Canyon is as much of a drawing card
as 1t has ever been''
It is said there are no fights on at
this time in an effort to capture mail
contracts.
c. W Kouns. superintendent of
transportation of the Santa Fe at Chi

masters are attending the meeting
which IS being held in the office of J.

If the joints are really closed as a re-
suit of the Trickett campaign The re
suit of the investigation is reported In
a three column story in Saturdays
Times. Although the Times was oblig-
ed to report that the open saloons are
closed. it says
Prohibition as wrought by Assistant
Attorney General Charles W. Trickett
in Kansas City. Kan. is a roaring,
maudlin farce. 1t has made the liquor
situation in Kansas City manifoldly
worse than before it began to operate;
1T has robbed Kansas City, Kan. of
$4,000 per annum in clear revenue; has
caused the police force to be cut in
twain so that whole beats never see a
patrolman; has cut down the fire de-
partment of the biggest city in Kan
eaS: has made 1853 vacant buildings not
one OF which has since been rented
for a bona fde business; has ruined
four or five legitimate Industries; has
thrown several hundred men out of en-
pIoyment and, withal, it does not pro-
hibit.
"As much drunkenness and lighter
indulgence in liquor exists in Kansas
City. Kan. today as two years ago,
as many drunken men are seen on the
streets and liquor is ridiculously easy
to get, but the prOhi bitfonists of the
state gladly acclaim their work IN Kan
saS city, kan, as a tremendous sue
cess. They are doing more every day
against prohibition than any other
agency in Kansas for the simple reason
that their prohibition. like al prohibi-
tiOn against the sentiment of the peO-
pie. is vastly impossible and no prOhl-
bitiOn at all. The prohibitionists have
saddled thousands of dollars of ex-
pense on Kansas City have DESTROYED
thousands Of dollars worth Of property
and robbed the municipality of hundred
thousands of dolIars-and they have
made prohibition highly ridicu-
lous. That is about all there is to the
story"

MOTHER SAT DEAD.
In a Passenger Coach Surrounded by
Her Five Children.

Los Angeles, Cal. Oct. 1o.-A dis
tressing scene was witnessed in the
Southern Pacific depot when the train
from Santa Ana pulled in. Jesus VAL
ensuela. a Mexican 1aborer. had been
waiting for a long time at the station
to meet his wife, Rosa, and their five
children. They had been separated for
months. Not seeing the familiar faces
in the crowd of passengers alighting,
Valensuela climbed aboard the train
In the last coach he found the children
CRYING about. their mothers knees.
Brushing them aside he caught the
woman in his arms only to drop her
limp form with a cry OF horror. She
was dead No one knows when the
woman expired, but passengers recall
the frequent indignant protests made
by some of them because the mother
during the ride from Santa Ana to Los
Angeles paid no heed to the plants
Of her children. A Spanish rebosa
that she had drawn about her face
prevented any one from seeing that
her features had stiffened in death

on WAY 10 HIGHER COURT.
Two Cases That Win Be Appealed to
Supreme Tribunal.

There are two important cases in
the Kansas supreme court which have
been started on their way toward ap-
peal to the supreme court of the
United States. One is the famous
Missouri river accretion case from
Wyandotte county Of George Anderson
Fowler, and about twenty others,
against Annie B. Wood and twenty or
thirty others. The one who takes
enough interest in the case to appeal
is q person named Hunter B. Merri-
weather. The property in dispute is
worth several hundred thousand dol
lars. and the title is rendered doubtful
by the changes In the channel of the
Missouri river. The record In the case
Is a typewritten book II inches in
thickness.
The other case which will go to the
supreme court OF the United States is
the Chod Thomas liquor case from
Cowley county. Thomas has bsen con-
victed Of selling liquor. anG thinks
that there is a constitutional question
at issue in his case which the United
States supreme court ought to hear
