INVENTOR
IN TOWN
W. {. CambeII, the Automatic Gas
Cutoff GoniuS Is Here

v. e. Campbell, inventor of the
Campbell automatic safety gas cut
of, is in the city taking in the state
fair, and many people who are inter-
ested In mechanical contrivances,
are enjoying an acquaintince with
him. It is undoubtedly fact that
he has one OF the most attractive in
ventlons of the age. His contrivance
seems to be simple, and yet It meets
a need that has been keenly appar-
rent ever since the use OF gas as an
Illuminating substance has been be-
fore the public. His invention makes
II impossible for gas TO pass through
a Jet when it Is not burning, hence
II light is accidentally extlngulshed
blown out or goes out from temper.
airy difficulty with the gas plant, the
flow of gas is sure to be cut off.
Thus Il not only prevents gas from
escaping, but In many instances
saves. There are thousands OF cases
OF asphyxiation every year, and this
Invention will forever put stop to
st. Even II a person wishes to sui
eide by the gas route It would be i'm
possible with this fixture on the
light, The invention is also very
valuable on a gas or gasoline stove.
In most cities the latter are entirely
prohibited, but with this automatic
cut-off they are Just as safe as any
kind OF a stove.

CHANGE OF TONE.
japanese Official Organ Makes Light
of Frisco Troubles.

Toxic, June 1.-THE Jill this morn
ing in its leading editorial which is ev-
identity inspired, says that the recent
assaults on Japanese in San Francisco
were merely incidents growing out of
the Industrial troubles in that city and
that they 90 not constitute a cause for
diplomatic action.
The editorial advises that the auth
critics be trusted to mete out justice
and deprecated the outcome of the
matter.
A consular report dated May 25,
which tells in a graphic but unsensa-
tional manner the facts connected with
the recent assaults upon japanese in
San Francisco, will appear in all the
papers mere tomorrow and some cx-
preston of public indignation is ex-
pected.
1t is likely. however. that the papers
will conform with the official advice
given them yesterday on refraining
from the publication of any infiamma-
tory matter as any action in defiance
thereof means punishment, provided for
in the press law.

ined. She said she was subpoenaed by
the Pinkertons.
And did they tell you that Mr.. Petit
bone was in business on Stout street?"
asked Darrow.
mo. SIR" replied the witness. who
was then excused.
This ended the tracing of the letter
and the prosecution turned to the task
of corroborating Orchards testimony as
to his experiences in the Vindicator
mine at Cripple Creek.
Clarence L. Harrah was called to the
stand. The witness worked on cage
In the Vindicator mine in 1908, at the
time Orchard said he and a companion
went into the mine to set off carload
Of powder they had discovered. They
were discovered by a cageman but
drove him back by shooting at him.
Harrah told on the stand today Of hav-
ing discovered a man in one of the tun-
nels.
A Man Shot at Him.
The man shot at him and he went
back to his cage. Harrah said he saw
only one man. The incident occurred 80
feet down in the eighth level.
On cross examination Harrah said he
reported the matter to the mine super
level, but no one was found. The mil
itia later in the night made search of
the entire mine but found no one.
Who first talked to you about this
matter IN connection with This case Z!
asked Darrow
"A man who said he was a United
States deputy came to the mill in
Colorado City. where was working
on May 10.''
Harrah said he had nothing but the
mans word as to his authority. The
deputy said it was his business to
subpoena people. Harrah could not
remember the name the man gave.
The deputy told him to go to Denver
to the Pinkerton detective office. He
talked with Mr., Prettyman there and
made arrangements to come to Boise.
Counsel for the state and defense
got into a wrangle over Harrah, Mr..
Darrow claiming the witness was try
ing to shield the Pinkertons from
connection with his testimony. Sena-
tor Borah said there was nothing of
the sort-the witness could not under
stand the questions. Harrah denied
any intention to dodge anything.
During Harrah's testimony some
woman among the spectators gave an
audible hiss. Judge Wood said If
there was any demonstration of any
kind in the future he would clear the
room.
Luncheon recess was taken until
1870 p. m. with Harrah still on the
stand.

STATE VS.. NATION
Conflict Between the Missouri
and the Federal judiciary.
Hadley Seeks to Enforce the
Two Cent Fare.

Kansas City. Mo-, June 14.-Upon ap-
plication of Attorney General Herbert
s. Hadley, Judge Parks in the circuit
court here this morning, issued orders
upon the representatives here of the
IS principal railways in Missouri, COM
pelling them to obey the two cent pas
senger rate and the maximum freight
rate bills which went into effect at
midnight last night.
When the case of the railways was
called before Judge Mcpherson today
he ordered 1t postponed until tomor-
row morning. The court said that IN
restraining the state officials from en-
forcing the acts in question would con-
tinue in effect. Thus the circuit court
and the United States district court are
brought into direct conflict.
This afternoon before Judge Nc
Pherson the matter of jurisdiction was
argued. The railroad attorneys con-
tend that the order of the district court
restraining the state officials from en-
today's order of the circuit courts
both in Kansas City and st. Louis.
They contend that this is so, both be-
cause of the fact that the order of
Federal Judge Mcpherson was issued
first and because it was still in effect
when the orders of the circuit court
were issued.
Secures Injunction in St. Louis.
St. Louis, June 14.-Attorney General
Hadley today filed application here,
with similar action in
against Is of the principal Missouri
railroads compelling them to obey the
two cent rate law and maximum
freight rate law, now in effect.

BEST DAY YET.
Washburn Subscriptions Today
Nearly Forty Five Hundred.
Special Services to Help the
Cause Will Be Held Sunday.

Today has been the most profitable
day in the present campaign OF the
Washburn, college canvassing commit
tee who are raising $4,000 in Topeka to
secure the Carnegie gift to the school.
Forty-four hundred and fifty-five dol
lars have been subscribed to this fund
during the past twenty-four hours which
has greatly encouraged the memb bers of
the committee. The total fund which
has been raised up to date is $46,305,
which leaves considerably less than
$4,000 yet to be raised.
Everything is now looking very hope
full for the committee. Several other
large donations are hanging fire and it
is beginning to look more certain that
the desired end will be attained. 1t WILL
however, require a daily average of over
two thousand dollars to bring the sum
up to the required amount by July l.
Next Sunday there will be special ser
vices at several of the leading churches
of the city where sermons and short ad-
dresses on Christian education will be
the features. No contributions of any
character will be received at these
meetings as it is merely desired to get
the church people thinking and interest
ed in the cause of Washburn.
Dr. Norman Plass, president of Wash
burn, will speak at the First Presbyter-
at the First Baptist, D. L. McEachron
at the Second Presbyterian church and
DR.. d. M. Fisk will speak al the First
Congregational church. The following
Sunday the committee will be represent
ed at the Central Congregational church
and at the Westminster Presbyterian.
These meetings together with the re-
ceipts from the leading stores of the
city and the subscriptions which are to
be received from the doctors of the city
augur very much for the final success
of the campaign
The following represents the progress

FOR A new JURY.
Judge Dana Takes Necessary
Steps to Get Them.
Names Now in Jury Box Are
Ordered Destroyed.

Steps were taken today by Judge A.
W. Dana of the district court to have
new lists of persons selected in legal
manner from the assessment rolls of
the various townships of the county
and the city of Topeka whose names
shall be placed In the jury box to serve
as jurors for the September term of
the district court and for the January
and April terms of the court next
year These names are to be selected
personally by the township trustees
and the mayor of the city of Topeka
and from the assessment rolls of the
This move of Judge Dana's was
made necessary by his decision of a
week or ten days ago that the new
Jury box filled up by s. G.. thinner
man, the county clerk, had not been
made up in a legal manner. Although
the law is clear on the subject the
names of the persons from the assess
ment rolls of the city of Topeka were
not selected personally by Mayor
Green.
He had Mr.. Zimmerman do the work
for him and the county clerk also Sc
lected names from the assessment rolls
of 1907 when they should have been
taken from the assessment rolls of
1906.
The question Of the illegality of the
names in the new jury box was raised
during the selection of jury In the
district court to try John Ewing and
Ed Green on a charge of assault with
intent to kill. The regular panel Of
Jurors was exhausted and 1t was 1ec-
essary to draw a special venire of %
men from the new jury box. Otis Hun
gate and Charles Magaw, attorneys,
for the accused challenged the special
yenire on a variety of grounds, the
chief one being that Mayor Green had
not personally selected the list of To-
pekans in the box from the assess
ment rolls but that he had permitted
Mr.. Zimmerman to do this work for
him.
