first anniversary and my wife says,
here's hoping for twenty-one years
more
The smile on Taft's face is one
which does not wear off. The sand
like lines at the outer corner of each
eye are fixed wrinkles emphasizing his
constant good humor. He seems to
thrive On hard problems and solves
them easily and no one seems to know
this better than Roosevelt.
The many references to Taft's prob
able candidacy and as the next presi-
dent by enthusiastic old soldiers and
other friends are parted by one re-
mark and another. To one he said:
one shot,
Again, "Oh. that is only a dream"
"But it will be a reality all right
was remarked.
ooh. then, I would probably have
nervous pros tration,'' was the reply.
He has visited the Kansas posts sew
eral times and says Fort Leavenworth
is an ideal place, both as garrison
and as a military school
1.-The great thing for us to do is to
educate the soldier said he. Forts
Riley and Leavenworth are ideal, and
there should be a military road between
them. The two posts will probably be
Under one command some day"
THAT military road is a good idea"
said Anthony, who is an enthusiastic
autOmObiliSt,
az uocS Aiot iafSt II q SPSSAoi Cal.
He came in a Pullman from Omaha to
Leavenworth. Leaving Omaha about I
O'Clock in the morning. he was up and
off at Leavenworth about 6-the Pull
man going on. Leaving Leavenworth
yesterday afternoon, he Travelled in
cha1rcar to Kansas City and he kept
up his entertainment of those about
him. although he had been sleeping on
a four hour schedule at night and go
ing on 20 hour day between times.
Taft seemed rosy and healthy and
stories of his ill health are apparently
not we'll founded.
"Leavenworth,' said an outsider, has
certainly given Taft and the visitors
fine time. There is no question about
Taft being pleased with his first days
reception in Kansas and that he made
a fine impression upon all who met
him."

What the country needs is not so
much new laws as the enforcement
of old laws I stand for law enforce

STEALING GAS.
Many of IOla's Largest COnsum-
ers Getting Free Fuel.
City May Have Lost Thousands
of Dollars Thereby.
USED BYPASS SCHEME
Trick to Prevent Meter From
Registering Full Amount.
Suits Will Be Instituted to Col
lect Unpaid Fees.
USED BYPASS SCHEME

lola, June 20.-It is limited that dis
cover1es have been made that some of
largest consumers of gas in town have
constructed by-passes around their met
ers and have thus cheated the city
out of hundreds and possibly thousands
Of dollars in gas bills. How long the
by-passes have been operated, or how
much gas has been allowed to go by
without going through the meter is a
matter for conjecture. Only recently,
mas this fact been discovered.
"A bypass is gas pipe leading from
the main line around the meter. Stop
cocks are, of course, provided for them
SO that not all the gas will go around
the meter for if it did the city would
soon discover that there was some
thing wrong when the meter didn't
permit enough gas to go through the
meter to have a fairly good gas bill
without being compelled to pay for all
of 1T. Thus if man had bypass pro-
vided he could pay the city just what
he wished to pay and still. use all the
gas he wanted to. If he wished to use,
or rather would consent to pay for
100000 cubic feet of gas month he
would permit the gas to run through
the meter until it registered that amount
and would then shut it off and run the
gas through bypass. and get all he
wished to without the danger of the
meter registering it. 1t is a trick as
old as the use of gas, but usually it is
hidden so well that the officials are
unable to discover it. In at least two
instances it has been discovered and
investigation is proceeding to ascertain
if others are stealing gas from the city
by this or other means.
So far nothing has been done about
the gas bills of the places where it is
known positively that by-passes exist.
But there is every reason to believe
that suits, will be instituted to collect
for the gas that has been used outside
of that which has been paid for This
may result in enrfching the city treas
ury by several hundred dollars. The
sum may even run into thousands.
How far the theft has continued is not
certainly known. When the bypass
was installed or who installed it is also
unknown yet, but investigation is go
ing on and it may all be discovered.

MANY IMPROVEMENTS
AT OLD PIMLEO

BALTIMORE. Md. October A.-The
improvements which the Maryland Jockey
Club is making at Pimlico for the fall
meeting are now nearly completed The
betting shed has baen inclosed with glass
and will now prove comfortable and light
in all kinds of weather besides being
larger than it was in the spring The
applications for stabling have been re-
celved SO rapidly that it was found neces-
sary to build fifty more stalls on the PIN
lico track. The contract for these has
been given out and work on their con-
struction already begun.
Since the spring meeting great deal
of work has also been done on the track
in the way of raising UP the low spots
to level and mixing Of sand with the
well worked in all kinds of weather The
track should prove much faster than it
was in the spring; In fact the work Of
the horses now at the track has estab-
lfshed that fact. Then. too. some new
drains have been put in the steeplechase
field during the summer, and the constant
cutting of the grass directly in the course
the steepIecha horses run over has
produced a fine sod. making the course
now one of the safest In the country.
The liberal use of whitewash on the
fences and buildings and some new paint
in the grand stand makes Old Pimlfco
present q very attractive appearance
There will be more good sized strings OF
thoroughbreds at the fall meeting than
have come to Pimlico since the Maryland
Jockey Club revived the sport. Among
them may be mentioned twenty-seven In
charge Of James Boden. including several
horses of J. l.. Hayman. L. L. Hayman
of New York and Senator P. H. McCar-
