A CONFERENCE HELD.
BOnaparte and Special Counsel
Talk 1t Over.
Hartman and Oil Men Are the

washington, Aug. 23.-Another I'M

for its object the immediate prosecu-

logg. the governments special counsel
in trust prosecutions. were with the at
torney general the greater part of yes
terday and left late in afternoon for
New York.
The attorney general would make TO
statement respecting the subject under
discussion, but the inference is that,
president, Secretary Taft and Attor-
ney General BOnaparte, the govern
ment intends to put some of the big
trust magnates, who have been violat-
ing the law, in jail. 1t is a matter of
conjecture what persons have been Sc
lected for prosecution, but the belief
in administration circles is that Mr..
Hartman and officers of the Standard
Oil company have been chosen.
Mr.. Hartman, while immune from
prosecution in connection with rebates
granted by thes Standard Oil company,
can be reached. it is said, for his man
ipulation of Chicago & Alton stocks and
his general course in looting the stock
holders of that road. The Standard OIL
men. 1t is asserted, are subject to
criminal prosecution upon various
restrain trade and for other offenses
against the common good.
1t was intimated at the department of
justice that some statement may be
made by the Attorney General soon re-
speeding the promises of immunity made
to the Chicago & Alton by the ex-Attor-
ney General. Mr.. Moody, in connection
with the rebates given the Standard Oil
company. Mr.. Bonaparte will leave
Washington for Lennox Saturday and
Information regarding the question of
criminal proceedings against Hartman
and Standard Oil men probably will be
withheld until definite action is taken
by the governments attorneys.
The provision of the Sherman anti
trust law under which criminal prose-
cutions are possible is as follows:
Every contract combination, in the
form of trust or otherwise, or conspiracy
IN restraint of trade or commerce,
among the several states or with foreign
nations, Is hereby declared to be Illegal.
Every person who shall make any such
contract or engage in any such combine
ton, or conspiracy, shall be deemed
guilty of a misdemeanor and on convic-
ton thereof shall be punished by fine

ing, corner of Fairchild and Quincy
streets, which was built since the flood,
and is the finest school building west of
the Mississippi; the Second Presbyter-
ian church, corner of Gordon and Jack
son streets, which was built in 1904 at
the cost of 10000, and is the best equip
ped and finest church on the North side.
The Haywood building, corner of Kan
saS avenue and Norris streets occupied
by the Shawnee bank. This building
was commenced before the 1908 disaster
event. The Myers Planning mill build
ing on Kansas avenue, was also built
after the flood. Aside from these new
structures the Central Sash and Door
factory have added substantial additions
to their place of business; and several
store buildings on Kansas avenue have
been remodeled and almost entirely re-
built. In this class would come the
Curtis building now occupied by the
five and ten cent store and the Colvin
building Immediately south. Mr.. Jerome
Colvin has just completed the remodel
ing of the building at the corner of
Railroad street and Kansas avenue
where a drug store to be known as the
Union Pacific pharmacy will shortly be
opened up for business. Another new
building is the Gem laundry on Kan
sas avenue, opposite their old location,
which will be completed this month.
The Union Pacific road has in the past
two years entirely remodeled their de-
pot and made their waiting rooms mod
els of convenience and comfort, not to
be surpassed by any of the waiting
rooms in the city. This list does not
include the many residences that have
gone up in the past four years.

BAUER, TAFT BOOMER.
Tells Kansas City People Topeka VIII
Send Trainload OF Enthusiasts.

A. D. Bauer, one of the Mulvane po-
litical managers in Shawnee county,
went to Kansas City yesterday as the
representative of the Shawnee county
Taft clubs which were organized here
some time ago, and announced that
Topeka will send a trainload of Taft
sympathizerS to Kansas City on next
Tuesday to participate in the reception
to Taft.
Mr.. Bauer had not announced his
plans in Topeka, but 1t is supposed
that some arrangement has been made
by Mr.. Mulvane by which the .so-called
Taft clubs in Topeka will be hauled
to Kansas City for a very low rate.
The Taft clubs are composed of peoz
pie who signed a little card stating
themselves to be friendly to Taft
Meetings of a few politicians friendly
to Mulvane were held in each ward of
the city and Officers" elected for these
so-called clubs. AS far as known this
is all that the Taft clubs in Topeka
have done. Now. however, the Kansas
City excursion Is being arranged and
1t is expected according to Mr.. Bauer,
that 1000 members will go on the
triQ.
The Kansas City Journal says:
Z "A. ID. Bauer, of Topeka. represent
ing the Shawnee County Taft-for-
President club, was in Kansas City
yesterday, arranging to bring a special
trainload of 'rooters' from the Kansas
capital to meet Secretary Taft next
Tuesday. Mr.. Bauer called upon Will
lam Clough, secretary of the Missouri
Republican club. to learn the local ar
engagements for Mr.. Taft's reception.
THE secretary of the Missouri Re
publican club informed the delegate
from Topeka that Immediately upon
Mr. Taft's reaching the Union depot
next Tuesday, he would be taken in
an automobile for a two hours spin
along the boulevards, and then to the
Baltimore hotel for dinner. This dinner
is to be attended only by the secre-
tary's party, Senator Warner, Mayor
Beardsley, R. B. Middlebrook, who had
attended college with Mr.. Taft, and
L. NJ Jones. At o'clock the dinner
is to end and the reception of the
public will commence. At the reception
the Shawnee County Taft-for- President
club will get the opportunity it is seek
ing of meeting its candidate for the
presidential nomination. we shall be
1000 strong said Mr. Bauer, yester-
day, and all from Kansas We expect
to make a f1rst-class showing
THE Topeka special will reach Kan
sas City about a o'clock on Tuesday
afternoon. The members of the party
will remain at the depot until Mr..
Taft's train arrives, about an hour la
ter.
Senator Warner left last night for
St. Louis to join the Taft party and
travel with it through Oklahoma"

VAUDEVILLE IN. THEATERs.
Three Evenings Week to Be Given
Over to This Glass of Amusement.

Chicago, Aug. 23.-AH legitimate
theaters controlled and operated in
the smaller circuits by the middle
west managers association will, after
September 1, devote three evenings of
each week to high class vaudeville.
This action was determined at a meet
ing here of the officers and board of
directors of the association.
1t is said to be the result of the
rapid encroachment of the 5 and 10
cent theaters in cities occupied by the
association. The order will affect $50
play houses in Iowa, Indiana, Ohio,
Nebraska, Arkansas, Missouri, Indian
territory, Michigan and Illinois. Forty
cities outside of Chicago in this state
alone will be affected

DEATH MESSAGE BY MAIL.
TeIegraphers' Strike Delays News for
Many Hours.

Garden City, Aug. 2S.-One of the
saddest features of the strike of the
telegraphers has been the inability to
get messages of the death of friends
and relatives through any more than
the ordinary messages. An instance of
this occurred in Garden City when c.
G. Hummer received a special deliv-
cry letter telling Of the sudden death
Of his father in Colchester. Ill. Mon
day. 1t was impossible to get a mes
sage through and Mr.. Hummer did not
receive the word until after the
funeral had been held.

every practicing physician that the

that stronger. absolutely reliable
guarantee for discerning actual death

for ascertaining death with perfect Ger

This new death test consists in in
jecting a solution of tiuorescine deep
into the tissues. II circulation exists

culation has ceased none of these re-

The discovery proposes that at least
two hours before the body is placed in
coffin such an injection with fiuores-

tirely disappears without the slightest
injury to the patient.

to be worth $4,000.
Both We're past middle age when
they We're married in 1890. Bernard
Kuhn had laid siege to the heart OF
Margaret Colgan for five years. but
it was a marriage of convenience as
well as love. She agreed to furnish t1e.
table provisions while he was to pay
for the clothing and fuel. Both had
considerable money before marriage
The wife had charged that her hus-
band was too economical. He admit
