Monday afternoon Mr.. Marshall's
sickness took serious turn for the
first time. A sinking spell followed
during the night and at 1 o'clock this
afternoon it was reported that his
condition, while not worse. was no
better His pulse is weaker than
during the sinking spell Monday night
although there are some encouraging
symptoms. At 1 o'clock his pulse was
26, although y is the normal beat
Mr.. MarshalFs turn for the worse is
due, it is declared, to the weakness of
his heart. He has never before been
subject to heart trouble and it is de-
clared that there is something@i7 his
illness which is affecting the heart.
Stimulants have been used for the last
twelve hours in an effort to give in
creased heart action but they seem to
have no influence upon the patient.
While Mr.. Marshall's condition has
not grown worse since the sinking
spell Monday night it is declared that
his suffering has weakened him and
that his condition is therefor more
critical than when the sinking spell
first came. He has not revived from
the spell although every effort to
strengthen him has been made. These,
1t seems, have had only the effect of
preventing a further turn for the
worse.
Mr.. Marshall has not been we'll for
two weeks. Prior to that time he re-
peatedly commented to members of
his family on his good health, saying
that at no time in his life had he felt
better A fortnight ago. however he
complained that he did not feel so
well. This continued for a week.
Early last week he declared he was
not in as good health as the week
before and as the week progressed
spoke of his decision to consult a
physician. He still was not, apparent
ly, in bad health, as on Wednesday
members of the family recall he pur-
chased turkey for Thanksgiving
dinner.
Last Friday his condition was such
that he consulted physician and since
that time he has remained inside al his
residence. Monday night his condition
grew alarming and despite the efforts
of physicians he continued tc sink until
II was questionable as to whether he
would live through the night He sur
vived the night however, but so far
today there has been nothing ercouraC-
ing in his condition save that the medf-
cine has probably prevented his grow
ing worse.
Mr.. Marshall IS a man of wonderful
vitality and u is believed that for this
reason he has a better chance for re-
cuverY than one less fortunate Nc
one is allowed to see him outside the
INN ediate members of the family. Nc
effort is made at the Marshall home
TO conceal the fact that fear is enter
tanned that he will not recover

physician said: MIR. Marshalls condi-
ton is extremely grave I hope for a
turn for the better. that is all 1 can

LOW POINT FOR SUGAR.
Antitrust Agitation Continues Its De-
moralizing Effect on the Market.

New York, Nov. So.-There was
some excitement and disorder in the
stock market when trading began to-
day. rejecting the struggle, on the one
land, to check the fall in prices which
set in yesterday and the effects on the
other hand of the liquidation induced
by yesterdays drop. Anxiety over the

factor.

Dallas Man Marvels at Topeka's
Th0ughtlessness.
No Reason Why Kaw River
Should Not Be Utilized.
PLENTY OF POWER.
Also a Waterway by Which Gulf
Could Be Reached.
Flat Boats Could Be Used as
They Are in Holland.

That Topeka could be made a city OF
100, 900 inhabitants in five years by
using the water in the Kaw river for
the purpose of furnishing power for
mills and the clearing out of the river
so that it could be used for transporta-
ton is the opinion of Judge A. E. Fur
min of Dallas, Tex, who visited this
week at the home of o. K. Swayze at
1926 Van Buren, street. The expense
connected with such a proposition is
not too great to be handled, according
to Judge Furmin, and he also declares
that Topeka is more favorably situated
for such a program than is the Texas
city.
Water transportation to the gulf is
not only possible, according to the
judge. but practical if the Dutch ide L
of water transportation be followed.
This, he explained, is the use of boats
drawing very little water but carrying
heavy cargoes. In the old world, he de-
clared towns situated less favorabiy
for water transportation than Topeka
have taken advantage of the oppor-
tunity given them by the proximity of
streams and today are reaping the re-
wards of their labor.
"I don't know what Topeka people
mean by not taking advantage of this
chance to build up a manufacturing
d
ter transportation for the purpose OF
shipping goods to the gulf and from
gulf towns here. 1t is not good form,
know. to go into a city and offer criti-
cism, but it seems to me that people
here surely do not appreciate their
chances when they allow such a stream
to be Of absolutely no benefit to the
city,
What are you going to do about
the Bowersock dam at Lawrence %
was asked Judge Furmin.
1.-THE dam at Lawrence is Just
where it should be- was his reply.
"By using locks the boats could easily
be run without inconvenience to any
one.
II know that to one who has lived
here sometime and has grown accus-
toned to seeing the river do the city
no good, but, on sthe contrary, oc-
casiona1Iy cause foss, it does not
seem practical to use the river But
it should be used both to furnish
power for factories and to furnish a
means of transportation that would
have more effect on railroad rates
than legislation that may be enacted
In years to come. Topeka is wasting
her opportunities every day that she
does not start a movement to take
advantage of the chance to locate fac
tories here on the river and to bring
the railroads to time on the rate
proposition"
Judge Furmin left today for SYRIA
cuse where he will visit for few
days before returning to his home in
Dallas.

WHEN IS FIGHTING WAR
The Situation in Nicaragua Starts a
Controversy.

Washington. Nov. 30.-General Fred
erick D. Grants reported utterances
regarding the execution in Nicaragua
of the two Americans, Cannon and
Groce, probably will not be subject
for action by the secretary of war
Legal officers of the government, how
ever, we'll versed in international law,
take view of the. matter entirely "a
variance with those of General Grant
and hold there could be no legal or 9TH
er justification for the killing of Can
non or -Groce.
A high legal authority in those mat
ters said today the general rule appears
to be that forces engaged in insurrec-
tfon within state are entitled TO
belligerent rights when the insurrection
has reached the stage of an organized
rebellion. so that central government is
required to resort to warlike measures
in order to queli the same.
Wheaton's international law lays
down the doctrine that when the strug-
gle is a war or is not, is to be de
termined not from the relation Of the
combatants to each ether. but from the
mode in which 1t is carried on.

MAY BE AN ARREST.
Frontenac Officers Have a Clue to
Slayers of Bork Family.

Frontenac, Kan. Nov. 30.-Police
officers say an arrest in the murder
mystery involving the deaths of Will
liam Bork, his wife and child. who
were killed near here last Friday
night, may be made at any time.
Until late Monday it was feared the
mystery would never be solved. Then
word reached the police that two
men, known to have been bitter
enemies of Bork, suddenly re-
appeared in the neighborhood shortly
before the murder. Detectives have
been shadowing these men ever since
the report was made.
The bodies of the Bork family were
buried in one grave this afternoon in
Mount O1ivet cemetery following a
single service at the Methodist church
here.
