IS IT CRAFSTR0M?.
Skeleton Found Near River on
Turner Farm.
Was he'd Out by Recent Flood on
Overlooked Land.
WAS A LARGE MAN.
Corresponds With Description
of Dead Engineer.
Coroner Keith Takes Charge of
the Remains.

A portion of the skeleton of a large
man believed to be that of Edward
Grafstrom, mechanical engineer of the
Santa Fe, who was drowned in the
flood of 1908, was found this afternoon
by Robert Turner on his farm on the
north side of the Kansas river TWO
miles east of Topeka.
The skeleton was about $50 feet from
the main channel. in land that was ov-
erf1owed five years ago and which was
The current this year unearthed the
skeleton.
The skull and the upper portion of
the body were recovered and brought
to Topeka. The teeth are remarkably
well preserved, the middle one in the
front of the rest. The body is that
of a very large man and SO far as is
known corresponds with that of Mr..
Grafstrom.
Coroner Keith was notified of the
find by Mr.. Turner and brought the
remains of the skeleton to the city.
1.-The lower jaw is in an excellent state
of preservation" said DR.. Keith, land
the formation of the teeth which are in
perfect shape should prove a means of
identification if the body is that of
Edward Grafstrom who was drowned
during the flood of 1903. The bones are
those of a man of more than ordinary
size and the location where they were
found indicates the probability that
they are those of Mr.. Grafstrom.
AT this point the current of the
river is very strong and in both floods
has carried debris out over the low
lands and it is likely that the body
would have landed at this point. The
body was about 100 yards from the
bank of the Kaw but all of the land
in this vicinity was covered with water
to the depth of number OF feet After
the waters of the flood of 1908 disap-
peared the ground was covered to the
depth of several feet with a sediment
and much of this has been removed by
the recent flood waters.

CRUSADE AT AN END.
One Hundred Theatrical Cases Dis
missed at Kansas City.

Kansas City, June 24.-Upon the
motion of Prosecuting Attorney L. b.
Kimbrell, one hundred cases against
actors, actresses. theater managers
and employees, charging violation of
the Sunday labor law of Missouri,
have been dismissed by Judge Porter
field in the Criminal court here.
Prosecutor Kimbrell announced fur
that over $50 more cases awaiting
trial would either be, dismissed or con-
tinued indefinitely This ends the
great crusade of Wm.>H. Wallace who
some months ago began his campaign
to make Kansas City a "closed town"
on Sunday. A grand jury was kept
in session by Judge Wallace through
two terms of court and over 5000 in
dictments were rendered. Out of ten
cases tried SO far there have been two
convictions and fines totaling 81 have
been assessed. II
Prosecutor Kimbrell announced
that it was useless to put the county
to more expense in prosecuting the
offenders as the evidence presented in
the cases thus far tried showed that il
would not stand with a jury. Among
those indicted in competition with
violation of the Sunday labor law
were practically all of the well known
Sunday performances. in Kansas City
this season. including Vesta Victoria,
Chas. E. Evans and hundreds of the
best known artists in the vaudeville
field in the United States.

PROTECT CHILDREN.
Resolution Covering the Ques-
tiOn Is Adopted.
Board Wants More Power Over
Water and Sewage.

For the protection of the school chill
dren of the state the Kansas board of
health is urging that more care be
used in the selection of teachers. At
the meeting of the board, which closed
last night a resolution urging the
boards of education to make rigid ex-
animation into the health of teachers
was adopted. The board has informa-
tion that tuberculosis has been spread
by teachers who were infected and
the board asks that the school authori-
ties be more careful in the selection of
the teachers.
The resolution as adopted by the
board follows:
Whereas. tuberculosis is now ger-
orally recognized as communicable
disease, and
Whereas, 1t has come to our notice
that teachers suffering from tubercu-
losis have been employed in the public
and private schools of this state, there
fore be it
Resolved. That school boards
boards of education, superintendents of
institutions, and others who engage
teachers as such, are requested to
make careful inquiry as to the health
of applicants. especially whether such
applicant is suffering from tubercu
losis."
Want More Power.
Additional legislation to strengthen
the powers of the board over sewerage
and water supplies will be asked next
winter. special committee was ap-
pointed to draw up bills to give the
board absolute control over the dis
posal of all sewerage and trade wastes
and the water supplies. In this way
the department could prevent the
dumping of sewerage where it was
likely to injure people and the water
ial fund from the legislature to make
an investigation into the best way to
treat the sewerage and trade wastes
and to treat and purify the waters OF
the state.
Distilled vinegar can not be colored.
the board adopting the ruling of DR..
S. j. Crumbine that caramel sugar
could not be used in distilling
vinegar as this gives the vinegar
color something like that of apple cider
vinegar.
Beginning July 1 DIR. S. J. Crumbine
will begin another four year term as
secretary of the board and chief food
and drug inspector. He was reelected
by the board. DR.. A. B. Scott of Jet

Cleveland, June 24.7Judge Lands
has issued a restraining order in the

the million dollar estate of the late

sents attorneys fees and other 1iabili-
ties incurred by Mrs. Mcdonald during
