HURT IN AN ACCIDENT.
f. e. Parr Has Narrow Escape With
His Life.

F. E. Parr of 1916 Harrison street,
who travels for the Ellet- Kendall Shoe
Co. of Kansas City, met with severe
accident last Friday while riding in an
automobile in Washington county, and
is now confined to his home in this
city.
Mr.. Parr in company with another
salesman was en- route from Washing
ton to Hollenberg, a small station
twelves miles northeast of Washington.
While crossing a small bridge about
two miles this side of Hollenberg the
machine took a quick turn and started
for the creek bed. 1t struck against 4
post. however which prevented it from
completing the descent. Mr.. Parr was
thrown from the car to the bank al a
point about twelve feet below the ma
chine. No bones were broken but Mr..
Parr was given quite shock and he
will be compelled to remain at his
home for several days. The other man
stayed in the car and was uninjured
One wheel was broken but otherwise
the automobile suffered but little.

STATE HOUSE IN DARK.
This May Face Legislature Unless
Heating Plant Is Renaired.

Unless 81, 200 is expended at once in
repairs for the state heating plant, the
verdict of the engineer and state arch
itect is that the state house and state
printing plant will be likely to run
short of light, heat and power during
the coming winter. And the state has
only a few hundred dollars left in the
fund allowed by the legislature for
making such repairs on the state build
ingS.
A special meeting of the state execu-
tive council was held this morning to
consider the situation 1t was appar-
ent to all of the state officers that 1t
wouldn't do to go into the winter with
an Inadequate and broken down heating
plant, and so the council decided to go
ahead and make the necessary repairs,
pay whatever money the state has no
hand, and request the contractor to
wait until the legislature meets to get
the rest of his money.
The engineer and state architect re-
ported that the heavy and constant use
of the heating plant had caused the
machinery to go to pieces. A lot OF
pipes have worn out under the heavy
steam pressure, and a general over
hauling of the whole interior anatomy
of the plant seems to be necessary.
1t is claimed by some that the plant
has been damaged in the past by the
ignorant management of engineers ap-
pointed because of their political pull
and not because of their qualifications
as engineers.

THE AID CLUB MEETS.
Talk About Out of Town Newspaper
Advertising.

Fifty members of the Topeka Advertis-
ing club attended the regular semi-month-
ly meeting which was held at the roof
garden of the National hotel at noon to-
day. Short talks were made by w. w.
Mills. Z. H Crosby. w. A. Neiswanger.
ii. l.. Whiting and J. w. Robinson on
Advertisement That Have Paid Me- The
same question was discussed by the MEM
bership at the conclusion of the talks
mentioned.
The old question of a newspaper ac-
cepting advertising from out of town dry
goods and department stores was brought
up by Z. H. Crosby and was discussed
to a limited extent. Mr. Crosby stated
that he does not feel that advertising of
Kansas City houses published in Topeka
newspapers affects his business in any
way.
There was time when it might have
been injurious to Topeka merchants to
have advertisements of this kind carried
in Topeka newspapers but it is past as
Topeka merchants do not fear competition
either in prices or qualities from Kansas
City or any other point. The matter will
be more thoroughly discussed at some flu
ture meeting when Mr. Capper and Mr..
MacLennan- owners of the Topeka daily
papers, are present.

GRIFFITH CASE is HEARD.
Question of Legislative Nomination in
Barber County.

The legislative contest case over the
Republican nomination in Barber county
was argued in the supreme court this
morning. The contest was brought by
Samuel Griffith against William Gesner:
Gesner is the present Representatives, and
on the face of the returns was renominat-
ed by 2 votes. Griffith claimed that some
votes which should have been counted
for him were rejected. He tried to bring
contest proceedings before the county con-
test board, and the contest board refused
to hear them, on the ground that they
were filed before the state canvassinG
board had issued the certificate of nomina-
ton to Gesner.
Griffith then brought a mandamus pro-
ceeding in the supreme court to compel
the county canvassing board to recount
the votes. and the supreme court today
listened to arguments to determine wheth-
err the writ shall be granted. 1t is likely
that the case will be decided in q special
opinion within n few days.
Mr. Griffith was present in person, and
was represented by Robert Stone of To-
peka. Gesner was represented by Noble
& Tincher, lawyers from Medicine Lodge
Mr.. Griffith said: IF the supreme court
orders the contest board to take up the
case they ought to be able to recount the
eco votes in that county in couple OF
DAYS There will be plenty of time to get
the name of the lawful nominee on the
ballot if the decision is reached by DC
tober Is. 1 feel confident that I will win
IL can get a recount.

LEAVES KANSAS OUT.
George w. Peck's Story About ProhI-
bitiOn Discusses Other States Only.

George w. Peck, the former governor
of Wisconsin, and author of Peck's Bad
Boy, has turned loose the story about
prohibition which he was writing for
the brewers. Governor Peck put in
several days in Kansas, and visited To-
peka. In the Peck book, the most re-
markable thing is that Peck doesn't
say anything about prohibition in Kan
sas. He talks about how prohibition
doesn't prohibit in Georgia, Alabama,
Texas. Oklahoma, Louisiana, North
Dakota and Maine, but he is silent
about Kansas. 1t is pretty evident that
Mr.. Peck found nothing in the Kansas
situation which was particularly suited
to his object in making a ease"
against the prohibitory law.
The title of Peck's pamphlet is PRO
hibition Caught in the Act of Prohibit
ing" 1t is a breezy, well-written story
of Mr.. Pecks experiences in the vari-
Gus states visited. the general object
being to ridicule prohibition and laws
intended to check the sale of liquor.

ALL MEN ALIKE TO HIM.
Taft Promises Negroes They Shall
Have a Square Deal.

Cincinnati, Sept. 22.-'When I get
into the White House, assuming am
to be put there-no plea in favor of a
negro Will have any less consideration
because he is a negro rather than a
white man.
This declaration of intention was
made by Judge William H. Taft today
in the course of the short address he
national Baptist convention being held
in Lexington, KY, the members of
which came to Cincinnati for the pur-
pose of meeting Judge Taft. There
was hardly sentence which Judge
Taft uttered that did not receive warm
applause by his hearers who were re-
ceived in the upper banquet hall of
the Sinton hotel. The delegation was
headed by Rev. F. c. Morris of
Helena, Ark, and represented nearly
every southern and many northern
states.
Judge Taft remarked that in let
ter he had from Booker T. Washing
ton, he had been told that when he
received DR.. Morris delegation he
would be meeting real representatives
of the race.
Preceding the talk which Judge
Taft made he was presented to each
delegate and received from Secretary
Morris for the company assurance
party which he said had always in the
past proved to be the, friend of the
black man.
ct welcome your sympathy and sup
port" was the answer of the candi-
date, land I feel that there is in my
bosom a sympathy for your race which
entities me to that support"
Mr.. Taft enjoined his hearers that
the one way to abolish race prejudice
was by a life of thrift and enterprise
and good citizenship on the part of
the negro. There were many positive
evidences that great progress was
made by the race and continuance
of earnest endeavor was urged

S. A. Payne was taxed with the
