YOUNG WRECKER sURRENDERs
Harvey ChaIlis Is Brought to Topeka
by Father.

Harvey Challis, the young man who
is charged with trying to wreck a Mis-
souri, Pacific train at Tevis, was
brought in by his father this morning,
and turned over to the court.
Two weeks ago Challis had a quar-
rel with a section crew which was
working near Tevis. He went down the
track, and the section men saw him
STOPPING over at intervals, but paid no
attention to his movements. Later they
got on their hand car and started
home at a speed. which, for the Mis-
souri, Pacific road, was terrific. Pres
emily the hand car struck something,
went up in the air, tossed the crew into
the wire fence, and then came down
again. The crew assembled itself and
took observations. They found about
a dozen heavy bolts wedged between
rail joints. And about that time young
Challis hastily removed to Oklahoma.
His father went after him and brought
him back

at his bare hands, and "ducked." "
The hit ought to have been good
for a home run, but Representative
Rowland of Ohio felt exhausted on
reaching the second sack and yelled
for somebody to come out and finish
running for him. Representative
Longwort' of Ohio signed at a ire
menduous outlay, it is said, Ey the
Republican manager, failed to live up
to his advance notices. He presented
a. natty appearance in golf trousers,
brown stockings and negligee shirt,
but he "caseyed out" twice and with
two men on bases, got base on balls
once and then in the last half of the
seventh showed a fash of rare speed
when he beat out tiny little infield
hit His only other acquaintance
with the ball was foul tip and sew
eral long runs after two baggers
slammed out by the unterrified Dem
ocracy.
The official score looked too much
like house tariff bills coming out of
the senate committee on finance to
be printed in full.
The Republicans stuck to their Or
iginal lineup throughout the game:
but the Democrats wore themselves
out making ten runs in the second
and after that substitutes were call
ed upon with ever increasing frequen-
cy and the batting order shifted every
inning.
The nearest the scoreres-old hands
at the business-could come to base
hits and errors, was to give the Dem
ocrats % of the former (no jest in
tended) and of the latter. The Re-
publicans are credited with 20 safe
hits and errors.
The real reason there were not
more errors was because the play
ers sidestepped hard ones and could
not reach long ones.

statement as was given out late this
afternoon.
The president asserts for the first
time his authority as titular head Of
his party. AS such he announces
his conviction that the party plat
form meant revision downward and
that no other Interpretation can be
placed upon it.
In addition to the suggestion of a
veto, which many political observers
read into the presidents statement.
it is taken also to mean that if con-
gress does not agree to what he re-
CARDS as proper revision downward
there will be a split between the
president and the legislative branch
of government as wide as was those
which marked the experience OF
President Roosevelt and Cleveland.
