she would have to give up attempting
to carry the whole burden of the Pa
lama hospital support, which she found
too heavy for one person. The sup
port calls for the expenditure of be-
tween four and five hundred dollars a
month, which is certainly a great bur-
den ON any one.
In view of the fact that this sup
port might be withdrawn, I, with some
others, made the appeal to the Senate
not to allow this much needed institu-
ton to close. Mrs. Atherton took no
the maintenance of the hospital on the
understanding that she would receive no
government assistance.

refuse not only to help the Palama

should say, as there is a regular month
ly deficit already The Queen S Hospi
tai is a great institution and | should
think that the trustees would recognize
the folly of antagonizing any part of
the medical profession. To my mind
it is better for the management of that
institution to decide to treat all doctors
alike, receive any Doctors patients,
poor and rich alike, and have in that
way the cooperation of all the doctors.
AS it is now, patients paying less than
$3.50 a day cannot be treated by their
own physician. The consequences are
that we do not take our poorer pa
tients there, because we think as much
of them as of our rich patients. We
take the poor ones to the Palama hos
pital, and, as we cannot do business
with them with the Queen hospital,
we do not take our rich ones there
either, but take them out to the SAM
tarium at Waikiki. Thus the Queen S
loses in both ways and their deficit
is the result.

SECURES LEAVE.
Dyche Can Fill Lecture Dates on Peary
and Cook.

ana COOK.
Lawrence, Kan. Oct 23.-Prof. Dyche
has secured the leave of absence he
recently asked from the university for
the purpose of delivering a course of
lectures in various parts of the coun-
try on "Cook-Peary and the Discovery
of the North Pole"
Prof: Dyche is the only man who
has pictures that he can use. Every
other arctic explorer has been COM
relied to sign an agreement not to
lecture or exhibit the pictures taken.
Peary has been inexorable on this
and he has had his way with every
man who has gone to the far north
except Dyche.
Away back in 1896 Prof. Dyche pub
lished in the Chicago Record an ar
ticle on reaching the pole. He said
that the only way to do it was to
explorers at that time scoffed at the
idea. saying the Esquimos would
peyer go SO far away from home or
suffer the rigor of the climate at the
pole. Since It has been shown that
this was the only plan both Cook and
Peary have used these means.
Prof. Dyche has not yet made his
dates publicly but since his Topeka
lecture at the Auditorium he has been
deluged with letters and kilograms
BILE will be to select the places to go.
1t is believed that Kansas will be
given preference although later he will
visit the large cities.
1t is also thought likely that the
first dates will be made next week
and printed matter is already being
prepared for use.
Prof Dyche is lecturer of merit
who has more information than he
can impart N days of talking. He
yoyaged with both Cook and Peary,
admires both men and believes in both.
He believes both reached the pole but
that Cook got there first. He regards
Peary as the greatest explorer in the
world.
Prof Dyche is arranging his lectures
and will have some of the pictures
low used by DIR. Cook and taken by
him in the last few months.

HIS ''BUFF0ONERY"
So Anthony Designates McNeal's
Challenge.
LeavenwOrth Congressman Will
Not Consider Debate.
TALKS ABOUT TAFT.
He Supported President Last
Summer.
McNeal, a Humsrist, Has De-
nOunced Taft.

Leavenworth, Kan, Oct 23.-Con-
gresham D. r. Anthony, jr.. on read
ing of T. A. McNeaTs challenge to a
joint debate wrote the following edi-
torial reply which appeared in this
mornings Times, under the heading
of "McNears Buffoonery:"
1.-THE editor of the Times has no.
ticed in the newspapers purported
challenge to joint debate from T. A.
McNeal of Topeka who seems to be
running wild as a candidate for a
nomination for congress in this dis
trict but whose Kaleidoscope changes
of platform and issues render it diff
ficult to ascertain just what party
nomination he is seeking. Upon start
ing to read McNeais challenge we
at first thought it to be serious but
soon found it to be full of his char
acteristic buncombe. McNeal prob
ably considers it his rarest humor to
manufacture as impossible platform
for his opponent as he could concoct
and then call upon him to defend it.
"McNeaFs challenge shows his in
nate dishonesty.
He well knows that the editor of
the Times opposed the old rules of
the house of representatives from his
first entry into that body and was one
of seventeen Republicans who first
signed the call which started the
rules reform movement, and that he
voted for every one of the reforms
gained in the last two congresses, and
stayed with the movement up to the
time when it was merged into COM
bination with Champ Clark and the
Democratic leaders to depose the Re-
publican party from control of the
house. The changes so far gained are
all that the socalled insurgents ever
asked for up to the time of the
Champ Clark conspiracy.
1T is McNeals privilege to de-
nQunce President Taft and the protec-
tive tariff law recently enacted by
Republican congress and to advocate
free trade doctrines if he so desires.
The editor of the Times. is satisfied
with his own votes on the tariff.
I'VE believe that when President
Taft put his approval on the bill as
genuine revision downward that he
acted in good faith. The editor of
the Times voted for all the reductions
such as free lumber. free oil, free
hides, etc, but when it finally be-
came evident that a majority of the
Republicans representing the entire
country believed in a fair application
of the protective principle we voted
with the Republican party and Re-
publican president for Republican
tariff measure, instead of with their
enemies.
with his usual modesty in franz

ing up Joint debate McNeal has
made a most glaring omission of his
paramount issue. the hauling down
of the flag in the Philippine islands,
Surely the gentleman is not trying to
drop an issue of which he said he
would rather be defeated with this
pet plank of Mr.. Bryan in his plat
form than be nominated without 1t.
There is really no occasion to pay
any further serious attention to this
freak challenge.
1.-THE great trouble with McNeal is
that in his attempts to maintain his
reputation as a humOrist he is guilty
of gross discourtesy to political OPP
ponent as well as being personally in
sulting. In his first announcement
McNeal falsified and attempted to
drag in the private family affairs OF
his opponent, which was unworthy of
man who aspires to represent the
First distric. of Kansas in congress.
His intimation that any person
controls the vote of the present
member from this district can only
be treated with contempt.
I'VE are quite willing to admit that
McNeal is, by all odds, the greatest
humorist in Kansas, as his challenge
shows. His reputation as a profess
sfonal funny man is conceded. The
editor of this paper confesses to hav-
ing few serious views on political
matters now of interest to the coun-
try, and therefore would decline to
engage in any vaudeville exhibition
organized by McNeal for the display
of McNeals buffoonery."

years a sticker about .27o, but this
year, spurred on by the tremendous
squirt his team had taken, with its
addition of new blood. he has been
800. and has played the most brill
liant individual baseball of his whole
long career-a remarkable thing when
one considers that his managerial
cares have been heavy, and the work
of breaking in the new men who have
brought the team to its present
strength has been terrific. You know
what the troubles of a manager have
done to Lajoie, and yet here is Clarke
leading his team, with a wholly re-
constructed infield that needed re-
constructing a second time in mid
ming among the top notchers.
Another thing must be said for
Fred Clarke. that he is one of the
greatest outf1elders that ever drew on
a glove, even more on his judgment Of
| batters and knowledge of where to
play then than on his wonderful
mechanical ability. Fielder Jones of
the White Sox and Jimmy Sheckard of
the Cubs were his only competitors in
this regard for years. and now than
and many bitter hours have been
wasted in argument as to which is the
foxiest outfielder, Clarke or Sheck.
If Clarke goes Barney Dreyfus will
have a fit. Baseball will lose one of
it's greatest gamest opponents. The
and here in Chicago. where the fans
sincerely like and respect him, will
miss him.
And, after all-will Clarke quit ?
Fielder Jones is the only one in recent
years who actually dropped the game
for good wnen he was still right.
VIII Clarke quit. or will the lure of
the game be too strong, after all?

Kansas City, Oct. 23.-Before the
inquest in the Van Royen murder case
was adjourned for two weeks. County
Attorney Joseph Taggart made the
following statement:
"I want this investigation to rest
two weeks I want the persons who
are guilty Of this murder to have time
to sweat. / believe there are circum-
stances in this affair that have not as
yet been surmised. There has been
a brutal and well planned crime COM
mitted, and I want the assistance OF
everyone in Wyandotte and Jackson
counties in getting at the true facts in
| this case.
IT. believe there were two persons
actively concerned in this murder
The testimony of DR.. Fairbanks as to
the powder burns on the breasts OF
both women leads me strongly to the
belief that two guns were held close
to those women, and that they were
shot to death at the same time. 1t is
improbable that one man was holding
the two weapons; it looks highly
probable that two persons were each
standing over the two women and
putting their lives out.
There is not going to be any haste
in this trial. It's a big case; deep
one, and a case. I believe. that will
develop endless circumstances The

that Patrick opposed his sister ana
her husband in their desire to move

NEW STYLE HUNTING RABBITS.
Topeka Men Use Automobile With
Success.

A new ard highly interesting and ex-
citing sport, according to Councilmal
H. B. Howard, is chasing rabbits with
automobiles and blazing at them with
Winchester rifles. c. w. McCord, l.
H. HosJetter, H. C. Roller and II. B
Howard composed a jolly automobile
party the other evening which chased
over the fields in the neighborhood OF
Newman.
The unsuspecting rabbits would be-
come terrified by the great noise and
odor dispensing machine and would
cart along in front of the automobile
afraid to take plunge from the light
ed streak covered by the powerful
lamps into the surrounding darkness
One of the party in question would
drive while the other three would shoot
down the rabbits as they were startled
from their slumbers. The number OF
rabbits which the members of the
party claim to have bagged is some
thing astounding.
They predict that this form of sport
