LOCATE IN Topeka.
Plans for National Sanitarium Are
Under Way.

Millions for Benevolence: but not
a Cent for Profit
ms is the slogan of an organiza-
ton known as the Suess National
Sanitarium association recently incor-
porated under the existing laws of the
state OF Kansas, whose headquarters,
according to wording of the charter
is to be Topeka.
Dr. H c. Suess, the president, and
acting secretary of the association has
been physician in the state for
tWenty-three years. having for many
years practiced in Garden City He
conceived the idea of establishing a
great national phiIanthropic sanitar-
lum, so with that end in view he NOV
ed to Topeka.
The following are among the first
contributors to the funds of the as
ISOLATION: E. w. Hoch, ex-governor of
Kansas; Rev. F. n. Lynch of the First
Methodist church; S. S. OFT, vice pres
Topeka, and Charles Curtis, United
states senator from Kansas.
among the members of the asso-
citation are; Rev. F. N. Lynch, Rev.
j. w. Sidwell, elected chaplain of the
organization; d. H. Branaman, attor-
ney at law, elected national councillor
of the association; Chas. n. Bacon,
elected trustee for the year term:
w. j. Busch, of the Busch Seed Co. of
Lawrence, elected trustee for a two
ed trustee for the four year term:
John Norman Patterson, M. D., Bur-
lington, Iowa; H. A. Whitfield, M. D.,
Rochester, n. Y; and H. c.. Suess, NJ,
D., elected national president of the
association, and general secretary
treasurer, pro tenn.
The object of the association is,
when sufficient funds have been Sc
cured, to tablish, endow and con-
duct first class central national
sanitarium of modern type, and as
speedily as funds will permit to add
a chain of subordinate sanitariums
with the object of treating chronic
non-contagious diseases, by the most
improved modern hygienic, mental
psychic and physical methods.
An institution of this kind with a
philanthropic object, if established
and put on practical working basis
would be a great thing for humanity
In general, and incidentally would be
an advertisement for Topeka. The
local names which appear in the list
of members of the association are rep
reSentative of the best citizens of the
city and state, and if the organiZa-
ton makes the enterprise a purely
charitable affair as is set forth under
the objects of the charter it has
great field for accomplishing good.

drawn from the West Indies in the
space of three years, and in gold and

almost as much again in merchandise.
The Spaniards sank their ships in or

one of the directors of the Sea Sal
wage company, will leave London for
Vigo this week to superintend the
search for the sunken treasure.
On Giuseppe Pine, who is the con-
sulting engineer of the new company,
the chief responsibility for success or
failure will lie.
Mr.. Pine halls from Genoa. and he
already is well known in scientific
circles as an inventor. Two years ago
he attracted widespread attention
with his MICROSCOPE, which is nothing
less than a telescope adapted for use
under water. which allows objects I'M

novel device sof submarine elevators,
by which whole wrecks or isolated OBJ
jects discovered by the microscope

The Sea Salvage company has OBJ
tanned full concessions from the
Spanish government for the explor-
ing of Vigo Bay. OF all the treasure
that is known to have been sunk in
1902, less TRAN e16.00O,00O has been
accounted for. The Speniards them
selves have managed to save about

HE WANTS A TEST.
Mrs. VanderbiIt's Attorney Asks Court
TO Take Evidence OH Spiritualism.

New York, March 2e.-Mrs May
Pepper-Vanderbilt, the spiritualist
bishop" of Brooklyn asks in effect
that the Kings county court deter
mine whether or not there is such d
thing as communication with the
spirit world. In a motion filed coun-
sci for Mrs. Vanderbilt asks for the
dismissal of the indictment against the
medium. charging grand larceny.
1t is alleged by Miss Minerva VAN
derbilt, a daughter of the aged hus-
band of the medium, that she caused
Vanderbilt by fraud and deceit to deed
to her a house in Brooklyn. Mrs.
Wand derbilt's attorney now asks the
court to ascertain by what definite
means the grand jury decided that
spiritualism was sham and a fake.
The lawyer thus puts up to the court
the rather puzzling question of de-
Gliding how to prove whether the
medium did or did not receive mes
sages from the dead.
Because of divided authority, he ar
gues, no one is competent to testify
against her. In support of this con-
tention the attorney attempts to show
that spiritualism is a recognized
religion and to prove this he quotes
Alfred Russell Wallace, Sir William
Crooks. and other authorities, and
mentions Jules Verne, Marconi, Will
liam Lloyd Garrison, Salmon P. Chase,
Bayard Taylor, Robert Owen, Parker
PillSbury and others.

Funeral Services of George w. Bowes
Tomorrow Afternoon.

George w. Bowes, whose funeral
services will be held tomorrow after
noon at the family residence, 1852
Western avenue, was an old settler in
Kansas and former newspaper man.
He was born in Boston, 1927, but his
early life was spent in Halifax, Nova
Scotia where together with his father
and brother he conducted a large
publishing concern.
In 1874, he came to Kansas with
his family and settled at Lawrence
and for several years was connected
with the Lawrence Journal. Later
upon the election of Dwight Thatcher
as state printer, he moved to Topeka
where he acted as business manager
to Mr.. Thatcher and his two sue
cessors, c. c. Baker and Mr., Snow.
The twelve years in this capacity
brought him many friends over the
state. Later he was identified with
the Kansas City Journal but resigned
two years ago on account of failing
health.
He leaves a wife, son. DR.. Chas
G. Bowes, of Greenville Texas, and
two daughters, Mrs. S. c. Kersey and
Miss Kate Bowes. The funeral SER
vices. will be conducted by DR.. Sheldon
at 2:30 from the residence. He was
highly esteemed by all who knew him
and his loss will be widely felt. The
interment will be private.

THEY CALLED HIM BILL.
Yale Alumni Turned Out in Large
Numbers to Greet Taft.

New York, March 2O-President
Taft was greeted last night as the first
Yale president of the United States
by more than 1900 graduates of the
famous old New Haven university.
The graduates came from all over
the country. They ranged from sill
very haired old men whose degrees
bear the date of '53, down to the
youths who left their alma mater only
last June.
The dinner, one of the largest ever
given in New York, was served at the
WaId Idorf-Astoria. The immense ball
wealth of flowers. The speakers
table, at which President Taft sat with
President Hadley of Yale, and other
distinguished graduates of the uni
versity was canopied with artificial
representations of the elms of old
Yale.
President Taft was probably the
happiest man at the dinner which was
given entirely in his honor. He was
not hailed as president, however, but
as "BilF-the salutation which
punctuated the cheering as he entered.
The only set speeches of the even
ing were made by President TAFT and
President Hadley. The latter spoke
first, responding to the toast, "Neath
the Elms" while the former speak
ing entirely extemporaneously, had for
his subject, sFor God, for Country and
for YaIer There were other informal
speeches.
Among the guests at the dinner
were Henry w. and Horace ID. Ta1t'
brothers of the president.
While the dinner was being served,
many of the graduates, including
host from his own class of rs, made
their way to the presidents taple'
shook hands with him, slapped him
on the back and renewed the ac-
uuaintance of college days.
The dinner marked the close OF
what will long live as distinctive
"Yaie day. in the presidents memory;
The precautions taken to guard
the president exceeded anything OF the
kind ever seen in this city Large
SQUADS of blue coated policemen were
thrown about the hotel. Inside, the
corridors fairly swarmed with detec-
tiyes. secret service and special Watch-
men.
Just before President Taft spoke
the lights in the ball room were
dfmmed and screened calcium sent a
flood of blue rays upon the speakers
table. 1t was nearly IL O'Clock when
Mr.. Taft began to speak and as he
was leaving on the midnight train
for Washington his remarks neces-
sarily were brief He confined him
self almost entirely to a eulogy OF
Yale and of the Yale spirit which he
declared had been the guiding IN
fuence in his life.
