Morris suffers from a serious wound
in the lower abdomen received when he
fell upon the iron pickets which form

serious the wound is cannot yet be

Morris was sent up from Great Bend
in 1908 for second degree burglary He
served 10 months of his time and was
paroled. He tried working in Hutchin-

then decided to come to Topeka, mix
ing concrete to earn the money to pay
his way. He reached Topeka last night
after midnight
This morning he applied for work at
the Melan bridge excavation. He was
told there were no vacancies there. He
walked on to the Union Pacific depot
and sat down in the waiting room. He
was there but a short time when Mon
roe approached and said:

back

this, falling upon the sharp iron rods.
For moment he hung there, and
then by sheer strength he lifted him

continue his flight. He sank to the

PALM GOES TO PRISON.

August Palm, the stonemason turned
financier, was found guilty on two
counts of obtaining money by false pre-
fences from James Werts by a jury in
the district court shortly after noon
today. The penalty is cumulative
one, being a term of from one to five
years in the state penitentiary for each
count.
The specific counts relied upon for
conviction by the state were, first, the
obtaining of $240 a year and a half
recently. In the first case it was shown
that Palm having inveigled himself into
the confidence of Werts, an old man
who has kept a grocery for years at
533 Topeka avenue, borrowed $40 from
him, promising to pay him with money
due for the construction of a school
house in Newton Palm claimed ne
had q letter from the school board and
from an attorney named Gordon stating
that the money would soon be paid. An
investigation by Deputy Sheriff Judkins
proved that Palm had never built such
a school house and that no such attor-
ney existed.
The second count concerned the bor-
rowing of $500 by Palm for the erection
of a concrete school house at Abilene.
Palm represented that he had the con
tracts but in the preliminary hearing
of this case admitted he never did have
any and none have ever been shown.
Palm was not placed on the witness
stand by his attorneys in the present
action. Judkins again investigated
PALMS operations at Abilene and found
that there was no school house con-1
templated and that the man, G. H. Jen-
kins. with whom Palm said he con-
tracted, was a myth.

MILLER MAKES SPEECH.
Endorses Presidents Position on Conn
merce Court.

Washington, April 22-In speech in
the house today Congressman James Nj.
Miller urged the adoption of the re-
port on the railroad bill. He said that
while he did not originally favor the
commerce court, yet after months of
hearings before the committee, he con-
cluded the president was right in his
recommendation for the court.
"As 1 only represent a congressional
district of 100000 people I am willing
to defer to the judgment of Mr.. Taft
who represents ninety million of peo-
ples'' said Mr. Miller
He said that so far as stocks and
bonds were concerned that if he had
his way about it he would squeeze the
water out of the stocks already issued.
Mr. Miller most heartily favored keep
ing out of water in all future issues OF
bonds and believed that the bill will DO
this effectively.
II am clearly convinced he said,
that congress has the power to do MI
this bill provides for: The appoint
ment of a special court of commerce
to hear and determine all questions
arising out of controversies between
railroa companies and shippers so as t.
secure a speedy and expeditions de-
termination of the same that justice
may be as swift as possible and the en-
largement of the powers of the inter-
state commerce commission so that the
whole matter of railroad regulation
may be settled and determined effect
ually.
THE commerce court is as necessary
for the adoption for all the matters as
tariff commission or customs court
which has been provided for the pur-
pose of securing information upon
which tariff schedules may be adjusted
from time to time so as to secure
proper tariff rates without waiting for
general tariff legislation"
Mr.. Miller expressed the conviction
that President Taft would be able at
the end of this session to say to the
American people that the Republican
party had kept faith with the people
and had enacted not only legislation
which was pledged by the Republican
party in the 1908 platform. but in fact,
he said. I'VE have kept all pledges for
progressive legislation such as conser-
walton of the natural resources of the
country, and such other legislation as
the president has recommended.
Already the president is able to say
that under the tariff legislation of the
party within one year of his admins
tration a deficit has been turned into
surplus and with the additional Leg
islation that will be enacted by this
congress am sure the American peo-
pie will fully realize that the Repub-
lican party is true to the interests of
the people and that a new era of pros
perity such as the world has never
seen is just being entered upon

umns of the State Journal, to thank

BACK TO OLD LOVE.

Through an arrangement made by
General Manager Hurley and General
superintendent Fox of the Santa F'e,
Topeka secures six engineers and their
families from Kansas City. These
were the engineers transferred to
Kansas City some time ago to be
placed on new passenger division
run.
The engineers were disappointed at
the move to Kansas City when 1T was
first contemplated a few months ago
and they made their wants known to
the Santa Fe officials. The engineers
preferred to remain in Topeka and
took the matter up with the officials
in this city.
However, the transfer was made for
the time being and the engineers had
their LAY over in Kansas City. 1t
has now been decided that they shall
come back to their "old love''-To-
peka, and continue their runs out of
this city.
The new passenger division was
between Fort Madison and Kansas
City and Kansas City and Newton.
This left Topeka oeff the map as far
as LAY overs We're concerned. But
the officials have changed the divi-
Eions back from Marcelline to Topeka
and Topeka to Newton as it was be-
fore the change. This brings all of
the engineers back to Topeka-much
to their satisfaction.
