Although Checkers is now well along
in its fifth season, it is still far remov-
ed from the morgue, if the repeated
curtain calls from the audience at the
Grand last night are any Indication.
For the play seemed to touch a popu-
lar strain somewhere. as the audience
was attentive and appreciative all the
way through. Checkers has always
touched a popular strain. 1t is writ
ten in colloquial English of the pres
ent day, and is filled with enough race
track phraseology to keep up interest.
There are tragic lines in the play but
the humorous side is most pronounced
and the audience laughs most of the
way through.
The cast is a fair one, not an aggre-
cation of stars, but well balanced. Hans
Roberts plays the heavy role of Check
ers" and is a good actor for the part.
David Braham as Push Miller al
though not much of an actor, fills his
particular part fairly well. Helen
Ormsby as Pert Barlow and Bessie
Baldwin as Sadie Martin" play the
leading feminine parts in good shape.
On the whole it is a pretty good show
and has a few more seasons left be-
fore it's final obsequies are pronounced.

LONGER SCHOOL TERMS

The Kansas educational commission
met today in the offices of State Super
intendent Fairchild for the purpose of
revising, simplifying and rewriting the
school laws of the state. The state
superintendent has been working for
some time on a mass of evidence and
propositions looking to this end and
submitted by educators all over the
state. His task has been to crystalline
all this matter into a connected bull
letin and the commission at it's meet
ing today will pass on this work and
after revision, finally adopt it as whole
1t is expected to send the manuscript
to the state printer early next week
who will print it in circular form for
the benefit of the legislature and other
persons in the state who might be in
terested. 1t is hoped that the ma
jority of the recommendations of the
commission will be drafted into state
laws at the next session.
The most important measures pass
ed upon by the commission at it's
morning session today were:
Longer terms for rural schools
State aid for weak districts
Employment of teachers for longer
periods.
Plan to take the office of county
superintendent out of politics.
These recommendations were all
passed upon favorably by the commits
sion. In the matter of a plan for
electing the county superintendents
hereafter there were three plans dis
cussed. The one likely to be finally
adopted is to elect that official at the
annual school district meetings on the
plan of the old time New England
township meetings and elections. This
plan will necessitate a change of the
state constitution.
There are some sixty or seventy
measures before the commission for
consideration which are being thresh-
ed out one by one at today's session.
The plan is to give the recommended
tons of the commission general cir
culation in printed from before the
next session of the legislature. Every
radical change in the school laws,
even though badly needed, must be
carefully considered from the stand
point of the after effect and the
amount of opposition they will arouse.
Are they practical? 1t is only after
this question has been answered salts
factorily that the commission places
it's final o. K. on the proposed change.
Every visiting member of the COM
mission from every section of the state
has an idea in his system, or rather a
germ of reform.

Grading on Southwestern to Be Re-
sumed Next Week.

The board of managers of the To-
peka and Southwestern railroad,
which is composed of we'll known and
responsible business men living in
Topeka at a meeting held this week
reaffirmed their past expressions of
confidence in the project. Not only
did they do this but they pledged
themselves to hold the bonds which
they have purchased until the
amount of bonds offered to local sub
scribers have been taken up and paid
for
Our financial affairs are in better
shape at this time than they have
ever been in the past" said E. B.
Merriam, secretary of the Topeka and
Southwestern company. 1T is un-
fortunate that we were compelled to
abandon work on the grading last
week on account of the water soaked
condition of the ground, but this de-
lay is only temporary.
1--WE expect to take up the work
again next week If the ground is dry
enough so that men and teams can be
placed on the work. Men are now at
work near the Washburn college
campus draining the ground and we
expect that, it will be in excellent con-
dition for the construction company
next week if more precipitation does
not occur"

sTREETER GIRL IS IN DENVER.
Mother Says That VIM. Dixon Isn't
With Her Now.

The State Journal is in receipt of in
formation in the form of a letter from
Mrs. c. E. Streeter the mother of Ger
trude Streeter, who is said to have
eloped with Will Dixon of the Santa Fe
passenger department. If the details of
the letter are correct some valuable in
formation can be gained by Dixon s
creditors as to his Whereabouts. The
letter follows:
To the Editor of the State Journal:
1 wish to correct a statement in re-
gard to the elopement of Gertrude
Streeter. Now, we have known all the
time where she is and have not been
anxious about her. She left home last
Tuesday night to go to Denver, Colo,
where she has been planning to go for
the past several months. We had a
card from her written at Dodge City,
where she stopped for breakfast; an
other card from La Junta; and another
one when she arrived at Colorado
Springs; and then a letter when she
arrived at Denver. This Dixon did go
on the same train as far as Emporia,
where he changed to go to Springfield,
Ohio, so he said. The other girl men
toned is Crystal Dutt, living some
where in the west part of Topeka. If
you will kindly publish this 1 will be
very grateful.

372 Michigan avenue, Oakland, Kan.
Those who know Dixon think he went
to Denver with the Streeter girl, as he
lived there before coming to Topeka.

SUBMARINE WARSHIP.

John P. Holland of East Orange,
N. j., inventor of the submarine boat,
has devised a deep sea submarine
which, he says, will be able to cross
the Atlantic and revolutionize modern
warfare. He says the new invention
has been sold to a foreign government,
whose name he declines to make pub
lie.
THE new boat will have a speed Of
80 knots an hour" said Mr.. Holland
recently. 1T will be manned by a
crew Of five and will be so construct
ed as to lift the submarine from the
plane Of coast and harbor defender
to an instrument of aggressive war
fare. l offered the plans to the United
States navy department, but received
no encouragement, so had to sell them
abroad. The navy department dis
counts the inventions of Americans
and places a premium upon devices
tried by other powers"
The new boat will be- cigar shaped
and can be sunk to a depth of 200
feet. 1t will be strengthened to re-
sist pressure under water and will dis
charge a torpedo at twice the speed
Of the present torpedo. The vessel,
according to the inventor, can accom-
pany battleship on any voyage, no
matter what the length.
