TO HAVE CHECK SYSTEM.
1t Is Planned to Stop the Short Cir
cutting of Congress.

Washington. March 22-There will
be a new order in the making of ap-
propriatio in the present congress if
the purpose of several senators are
realized after congress assemblies in the
first regular session next December.
These senators are looking forward
to some plan by which congress may
be fully informed concerning the ex-
penditure of government money which
it is declared is now known only in a
general way. 1t is understood by
many members of the senate that the
method of auditing accounts in some
of the departments is one that permits
the approval of vouchers for expendi-
lures that are not actually made but
which stand for items of expense that
would not so readily meet popular
approval if plainly named.
There will be an effort to reduce the
appropriations for vague purposes and
TO conf1ne them as far as possible to
specific purposes and then to overhaul
that accounting systems of the depart
ments so that congress will have
greater access to the exact purposes
for which the money has been ex-
pended. 1t is said the process of
short circuiting" congress in the ex-
penditure of appropriations, which
was referred to in the debates of the
last session by Mr. Hemenway has
been carried on extensively in several
departments. Just what plan will be
adopted to allow congress to follow
appropriations until their expenditure
has not been determined, but several
senators are now giving a great deal
of thought to what they regard as an
important problem in relation to the
fiscal affairs of the government

DEPENDENT CRIMINALS.
Should Be Placed in Control of
Medical Men.

New York, March 22.-MedicaI
men should be placed in sole control
of the dependent classes and criminals
according to DR.. Woods Hutchinson,
the eminent medical authority. In an
address before the University of
Michigan alumni in New York, DR..
Hutchinson said in part:
physicians should have the author
ity to prevent the perpetuation of un-
fit citizens. 1t is time for the medical
men to have close association with
others beside the druggist and the un-
dertaker. The time of medical
leadership is coming. Much of the
mystery which has surrounded medi-
cine has already disappeared and the
rest is fast disappearing. The COM
munity should realize that in it's
medical men it has corps of highly
trained experts in whose hands is to
be found the solution not only of ques-
tions of health, but of questions of the
general welfare and prosperity of the
community
DR.. Hutchinson said that the more
enlightened physicians in this country
were anxious to get into politics in
order that they might carry into effect
new ideas for the protection of health.
Physicians, he said, were becoming
eager to get into state legislatures,
into congress and into the presidential
cabinet.

hold him pending the arrival of an of
ncer from Topeka. A few moments
later another telegram was received
by Sheriff Wilkerson informing him
that Shafer had made a break and Sc
cured his liberty.
In the evening he received another
message from the Wichita authorities
stating that the man wanted had been
captured and he left Immediately for
that city. Shafer is now safely behind
the bars in the Shawnee county Jail
where he will remain until he has his
trial and in the meantime he will be
relieved of any temptation to escape.
Shafer claims to be an actor and
became acquainted with his victims
while a member of the Paul Gilmore
company which was playing in Tope-
ka. Afterwards the company disband-
ed and he returned to this city and re-
Heved the girls of their hard earned
money and appropriated much of
their jewelry as he could lay his hands
on. A warrant for his arrest was
sworn out by w. S. Anderson, one of
the proprietOrs of the hotel where the
girls are employed. 1t is said that
Shafer is wanted in Kansas City for
forging a check for $3.50 before he
landed in Topeka.

AFTER HIGHEST RECORD.
Prof. Todd of Amherst to Make Bal
loon Ascension.

Springfield, Mass. March 22.-In
an endeavor to attach an altitude
greater than ever reached before by
man, Prof. David Todd. of Amherst
college, and Lee Stevens. the we'll
known aeronaut, will make a balloon
ascension here in the near future. The
ascension is to be made for the pur-
pose of special experiments and to OBJ
tain data concerning the upper strata
of air. Details of the proposed flight
have not been made public, but II is
known that a monster balloon will be
used, equipped with a steel frame OF
cage. Because of the danger OF the
bag bursting in such rarified atmos-
phere that the aeronauts hope to
reach, the balloon will be only one half
or two-thirds inflated. Special equip
ment will be taken along to protect the
scientists in the extreme cold far above
the earth. Prof Todd is director of
the Amherst observatory and an au-
thority on astronomical science.

Remarkable Weight Record Made by
Zeppelin's Airship.

Chicago, March 22.-The Tribune
today prints the following special ca
BILE from Berlin under date of March
21:
Soaring like a mighty bird, Count
Zeppelins dirigible airship, the larg-
est in the world, yesterday created a
worlds record for weight carrying in
cruising the sky.
1.-The huge dirigible ascended from
it's quarters at Lake Constance bear
ing Count Zeppelin with ten aeronauts
of the German army and fifteen sol
diers. Never before in the brief his
tory of aeronautics has an airShip
made successful flight with crew
of twenty-six persons. A great throng
witnessed the ascent. The airship
rose as majestically as an eagle. Its
flight covered $50 miles, and the diri-
gible was in the air four hours.
Gas a result of the trip the Kaiser
will in all probability, ask large ap-
preparation from the reichstag to build
an aerial navy, which will surpass all
others in existence"

On account of the discovery of the
disqualifications of two members of the

Chicago, March 22.-The regular

voters in behalf of the proposed mu-

Outside of the mere question Of
humanitarianism. it is declared. there
is a problem of finance with which the
city has to cope in caring for con-
sumptives. Prof. James w. Glover OF

loss, it is contended, is either main

"Now bear this in mind" says the
health bulletin. This one and one

what tine community loses. What is
the family loss? A man is worth
