| honor would allow her to become a
servant without requiring references.
She declared that all of the states of
the south had plotted to shut out the
children of the blacks from an educa-
ton, and that the courts had refused
to protect colored women. Mrs. Ter
rell was especially bitter in her con-
domination of the women of the south,
some of whom she quoted as saying the
negro women were devoid of honor.
MANY of our rich men will gladly
give thousands to help my race, she
said, "but refuse to give an honest,
honora BILE educated negro respectable
employment"
John H. Roberts, delegate of the AL
lance of Honor of London, urged that
young men and women about to marry
pass not only mental and intellectual
exa mination but a physical examina-
ton before a license is issued to them
He urged the suppression of immoral
literature and liquor. Though once an
actor himself, Mr.. Roberts declared
that purity workers must antagon1ze
the theater.
"Our young can not touch the mod

declared. "Most of our modern plays
deal with the socalled love of two men

At the afternoon meeting DR.. Rudolph
Holmes, a member of the Chicago soc1-

HELP FOR FRISCO.
Government Coin Will Be Paid Out

that 1t had taken steps to expedite the
shipment of coin to the Pacific coast.
This action was the result of an appeal
you of the treasury department A vast
sum said to be in the neighborhood of
SO 900 900 is to be transferred by the
government for the use of San Fran
cisco Savings banks.
The government has coin in San
Francisco to the amount of $343 0OO 600.
OF this sum 5000, 200, 900 is stored in the
min. and $40, 600, 900 in the subtreasury.
An effort was first made to induce the
government to allow the local banks to
deposit their federal bonds with the sub
treasury and obtain coin in return but
the authorities at Washington refused
to consent to this plan.
An arrangement was effected late yes
terday, however, by which similar re-
suits may be achieved by operating
through the New York subtreasury.
The arrangement entered into by the
San Francisco savings banks and the
government provides that such federal
bonds as the local banks have on de-
post in New York, may be turned into
the subtreasury there.
The New York subtreasury will then
wire the subtreasury to pay out an
equivalent in coin. The first of this
money will be transferred today.
Dispatches from Washington APPROX
ing of this arrangement were received
by the local savings banks too late to
permit them to take advantage Of this

As the Santa Fe train pulled into
this morning, the largest bunch of col
Iege students ever gathered in Topeka
alighted from the train. There were
over a thousand K. U. students who
came up on this train and the later
trains from Lawrence also bore a
large number of students. Washburn
students were at the station in pro-
fusion, welcoming their guests to To-
peka- There is probably no game on
the Washburn schedule in which there
is more rivalry than this annual con-
test, but even then there is a kindred
spirit among the two Institutions
either school who can not number his
friends in the other school by the
score
The Jayhawker team which is to
contend with the Washburn team
for the championshi of the state
this afternoon came up on the first
train this morning. They were accom-
panied by Coach A. R. Kennedy, and
Assistant Coaches Parr. Donald and
Drummer. The Kansas squad is a nice
looking bunch. They are all large
handsome and intelligent looking
men. every one of them not only look
ing the part of a trained athlete but
of a cultured student as well. They
represent the finest specimens of
physical manhood in a school whose
student body numbers close to 1000
students.

BRYAN ON PANICS.
He SAYS Present Conditions Are All
Against One.

Omaha. Nov Wv. ]. Bryan to-
day gave out the following interview
on the business and financial condi-
tons:
"I do not look for any prolonged
trouble in the business world. Condt-
lions which made a panic and de-
preston in 1898 are entirely different
now. Then prices were falling because
of a restricted money supply. Now
we are in the midst of tremendous
gold production which gives an album
dant money supply and maintains
prices 80 that business is brisk.
''Then you do not think the pres
ent bank trouble shows the need Of
an emergency or asset currency?"
Not by any means. On the other
hand. I think it is a strong argument
against an asset currency. Suppose,
for instance, we had been using asset
currency during the past year and In
addition to the present trouble the
people had distrust about the money
that would make matter so much the
worse AS it is now there is no doubt
about the quality of our money"

From the Santa Fe station the stu
dent body led by the Jayhawker band
marched up East Fifth street to Kan
sas avenue interspersing the strains of
Yale "Boola" and college Life" rem
dered by the band with the vociferous
outbursts of the famous Rock Chalk
yell. Crimson and blue remnants and
ribbons. the Kansas colors, could be
seen in profusion. The party in their
enth usiastic parade marched south on
Kansas avenue to the State Journal
office, where a short stop was made
during which the K. U. band, a much
better musical aggregation than usual
stopped long enough to pay their re-
spects to the State Journal, a compli-
ment which the Kansas students never
miss and which is always appreciated.
From the State Journal office the stu

This YELL which is famous not only

States as the greatest college yell,
can be heard in every corner Of To-

throats of a thousand loyal Kansas
students upon the cool crisp autumn

not heard this yell from a large dele
cation of the students of Mount Dread
can understand what it means but
there is something in this old yell
which causes ali who hear it to feel
a friendly spirit of patriotism toward

matter what the prejudices of a person
may be. Even the most loyal of Wash
burn supporters cannot hear this yell
without a spirit of pride.

DALTON GETS RESPITE.
Governor Hoch Extends His Parole to
November 5.

Council Bluffs, Ia, Nov. 2.-Gover-
nor E. w. Hoch of Kansas who spoke
before the Southwestern Iowa Teach
ers association this evening said he
should extend the parole Of Emmett
Dalton, the Coffeyville bank robber,
until November 5, when he would re-
turn to Topeka and take such further
action as might be necessary. Cover
nor Hoch was warm in his praise or

he would make Dalton's parole per-
manent.
The above dispatch shows that af-
ter all. Emmett Dalton, while he went
back into the penitentiary on Friday,
Nov. 1, did not take his place as a
convict as he expected he would be
obliged to do.
Governor Hoch was reached by
long distance telephone on Friday by
his son, Homer Hoch, and the COVER

planned o him, extended Dalton's pa
role to the time originally selected
Nov. 5. Dalton was released on July

The fact that Governor Hoch has
extended Dalton's parole indicates
that a pardon may be forthcoming
as soon as the governor returns. 1t
would be impossible for the governor
to issue a pardon until his return.
1t is not known here what Dalton
will do pending the return of Cover
nor Hoch, but it is likely that he will
come back to Topeka, and have per-
sonal interview with the governor
will not be obliged to return to the
prison.

inent, still another tremendous ad-
vantage is claimed, and this is the
most important of all-the matter OF
cost.
It is the cheapness of the cost OF
the system, which, if it is what is
claimed for it, threatens to revolu-
tionize railroad construction.
Means Immense Saving.
According to the estimates made
for the New York hackers of the
project, a four-track, elevated line,
such as it is proposed to build be-
tween Jersey City and Newark, can
be constructed for $4,000 per mile.
To build a four-track elevated road,
similar to the present elevated system
in this city, would cost 100000 per
mile. This does not include the cost
of power or equipment-only the
structure and tracks.
The projectors of the new enter
prise figure upon building the eight
miles of elevated track between Jer,
sey City and Newark for $4,000, 900.
To build the ordinary type of elevated
road, with four tracks, would cost be.
tween 100000 and $S,oOO,OOO. 1t
IS this cheapness of cost which in.
spires the hackers of the enterprise
to hope that they will reap tremen-
dous profits, and that the success of
this initial road between the two Jer.
sey cities will be followed quickly by
