DEVELOP FARMS,
DECLARES BROWN
PRESIDENT OF NEW YORK CENTRAL
DISCUSSES HIGH COST OF
LIVING.
PRICES DEPEND UPON GOLD,
AS Precious Metal Increases in Quantity
Value of Articles Measured by
1t Is Enhanced.
PRICES DEPEND UPON GOLD,
ALL EXPORTS MUST BE HEAVIER.

ST. PAUL. Mimi, June 23.-Speak-j
ing on 1.-THE High Cost of Living" be-
fore the Minnesota Bankers association,
today, President w. @. Brown of the
New York Central lines quoted statis-.
ties to show the increase in the cost of
all products of the farm, factory, and
mines. and then said:
economists agree that as the basic
metal (gold) increases in quantity, the.
price OF everything measured by and
paiu Tor with that metal is invariably
enhanced in value.
or this reason the pay of labor has,
steadily advanced and must continue to.
advance IN some fair ratio with the in
crease IN the cost of things that labor
must buy.
Everything save wages, railroad rates;
and liked incomes from longtime Sc
curities, continuously and almost coin
cldently adjust themselves to the chang
ing conditions resultant upon this influx
of gold.
Rates Must Be Adjusted.
Wages are adjusted from time to time,
and securities as they mature will be re-
funded upon higher basis. The rates
charged by the railroads must also under
the supervision of proper governmental
authority be adjusted from time to time
to meet these conditions"
Mr.. Brown then spoke of the alarm
ing rapidity with which the consumption
OF the products of the nations farms is.
overtaking production" and continued:
When the day comes that this nation
fails to produce sufficient food to supply
our own people, when we no longer send
the products of our farms abroad bring
ing back the gold from foreign nations
what will be the cost of living in this
country, and where will the money come:
from to meet the cost?
Would Establish Farms.
What one battleship costs would es--
tablish two splendid agricultural expert
ment or demonstrations farms in every
state in the Union, and / will guarantee
if this is done and the work intelligently
and theoretically carried on. that as n
result of it, the value Of the increased
product of the nations farms will, within
ten years, buy and pay for every battle
ship of every navy that toats.''
Il am in favor Of an adequate navy
but l wish the money expended in build
ing just one 5attleship could be devoted
to intelligent agriculture.

TALK BY PROXY.
Roosevelt Is Heard From
Through Col. w. r.. Nelson.
He Calls the Colonel Leader of
the People.


New York, Nov 17.-One of Colonel
Roosevelt's visitors today was Colonel w.
r. Nelson of Kansas City. The Evening
Post quoted Colonel Nelson as follows:
The west understand Roosevelt said
Colonel Nelson, land it understands that
he is not merely the leader of the Repub-
hcan party-he is leader of the American
people. The parties are breaking up and
under the influence of the old party ties
it may take two years, it may take four,
it may take six for the people to come to-
gether in the fight for their own rights,
but when they do there won't be anything
to it.
Nineteen hundred and twelve for
Roosevelt? It's too early to discuss that
and there are too many cross currents in
the political stream. The trouble is people
don't realize that it is the last thing
Roosevelt is worrying about. Only those
who know him well really appreciate that
the thing which concerns him least when
he is in action is what may happen to
him.
And this is true, whether he is going
up In an aeroplane, going into the heart
of Africa fighting to help his party
out of a hole

SUES ILLINOIS LIFE.
State After Company That Bought
Kansas Mutual for Relating.

Chicago, Nov. ia secret investiga-
ton of alleged insurance premium re-
batting, involving hundreds of thou
sands of dollars annually and directed
against practically every mutual life
insurance company in Chicago, came to
light yesterday afternoon with the i'll
ing of four suits in the municipal court
by States Attorney Wayman.
The legal actions are to recover
fines of from $500 to $1,000, assessed
under the law for rebating on life in
surance premiums. One suit is direct
ed against the Illinois Life Insurance
company and P. ]. Kane, an agent, and
three are directed against the Hartford
Life Insurance company, H. P. john
son, manager in Chicago, and L. +.
Hazen, an agent. 1t is charged that
agents of the two companies gave 22
per cent rebates on policies sold by
them.
The legal action by the states attor-
news office is said to be but the first
bomb of a series to be hurled. AS soon
as these cases have been placed on
trial it is said that the states attorney
will bring no less than three score of
similar suits against other companies.
Thousands of cases of Relating are al
legged to be practiced in Chicago yearly
in violation of the law.
According to information furnished
the states attorney, the agents them
selves are the losers, as they stand the
| 25 per cent rebate out of their own
commissions. The insurance COM
panies it is said, wink at these vio-
! Iations, but do not openly participate
| in them. In the last three months of
the year, when agents are fighting to
! increase their insurance sales to the
| highest figure, wholesale rebates. it is
| said, are given. These percentages
range from Is to 100, or the entire
amount of the first years premium.
This latter rebate is given On policies
ranging upward of $4,000. The per-
son insured gives a note for the pre-
MUM, which is torn up when he pays
/ the second years premium.

NORTH SIDE NEWS.
U. ?. Superintendent Inspects
Onaga Cutoff.
May Use Heavier Class Engines
Soon.
ROAD NEEDS THEM.
Present Type Too Small Say
Railroad Men.
Suggest Motor Car Service For
Branch Line.

J. O. Brinkerhoff, superintendent Of
the Kansas division of the Union Pa
clt1c, is making an inspection trip over
the Topeka-MarysVille branch of the
Union Pacific, known as the Onaga
cutoff.
His trip gives rise to a rumor among
railroad men that heavier engines may
be used on the road in the near flu
ture on account of the increasing bus
mess. 1t is said that the present class
of engines are almost unable to haul
the heavy loads. The present class
used are the zoos. These may be sup
planted by the 400 class, a much heaV
Ter engine, as soon as the track is in
shape to stand the increased weight.
At present two regular trains and one
extra are run daily. The regular trains
peka at 1O:4O a. m. and arrives at
Marysville at $50 p. m. The other
leaves Marysville $3.50 p. m. and ar
rives in Topeka at II p. m.
The extra, a freight, is made up as
needed. Since the line has been open
ed as far as Marysville the extra has
averaged a trip over the line once
day.
This morning it was again suggest
ed by prominent North side business
man that d motor car passenger SER
vice be installed on the line. The I'm
ion Pacific people state that they do
not know what will be done about this,
but say the plan has its advantages.
While at present the track is not in
shape Tor regular passenger trains and
the traffic does not demand it. a motor
service would make better time and
likely give more satisfaction. 1t is
thought that it is possible that such
service may be put on when the traf-
fic does demand it

Mrs. RObt. Archibald, Of Elgin,
ILL.,, Searching for Husband.
Had Been Told He Was Located
in Topeka.
FORTUNE INVOLVED.
Missing Man Now Reported to
Be in Arizona.
Topeka Man Claims to Know Of
: Archibald's Whereabouts.

Mrs. Robert Archibald of Elgin, ILL.,,
is in Topeka today looking for her hus-
band, who disappeared from his home
ten years ago. Relatives in Chicago,
the woman charges are trying to prove
that Archibald is dead and thus defeat
her claim for the control of a large
estate
The woman came to Topeka in re-
Spouse to a letter from Thomas Hynes,
OF ia West Eighth avenue, who told
the woman he could locate Archibald.
Mrs. Archibald had offered a reward
for information leading to the location
of her husband. Hynes claims to have
received a letter from the man this
week, which he says he turned over to
Mrs. Archibald. On the other hand, she
says the signature is not that of her
husband and does not believe the in
formation is genuine.
1t was agreed this morning that Mrs.
Archibald was to receive the informa-
ton which HyneS claims to possess and
post a 500 forfeit in local bank to
protect Hynes' reward in case the sup
posed location of the man proves ac-
curate.

even more mystery concerning the man.
ner in which Hynes is brought into
the affair. Hynes claims to be looking
for a brother who disappeared from
Chicago about the same time Archibald
left Elgin. He says his brother knew
Archibald and worked for the man s
halfbrother in Chicago This, he says,
formed a chain of evidence upon which
he worked not only to locate Archi-
bald, but to find his own long lost
brother.
When Mrs. Archibald came to Topeka
she brought a letter to Morris Jenkins,
chief of police, from the police head
IN Elgin. Chief Jenkins and Detective
Vols have been helping the woman with
the Hynes affair.
When Mrs. Archibald was seen this
morning she was not inclined to dis
cuss the details of the case, but made
the following statement:
Mrs. ArchibaId's Story.
Mr.. Archibald and l were married
in Elgin ten years ago last April. My
husband owned considerable property in

to his farm. He never came back

drawn what money he had in the bank
and that two halfbrothers in Chicago
were threatening to prosecute him for
debts must have amounted TO S12, 900
