TO MEET AT SYRACUSE.
Chairman woodruff Will Hear Colonel
Roosevelt Speak.

New York, Sept. 15.-Theodore
Roosevelt and Timothy L. Woodruff,
chairman of the Republican state COM
mittee, probably will meet at Syracuse
on Saturday Colonel Roosevelt is to
speak at the state fair on that day and
Chairman Woodruff, who leaves to-
night for Syracuse to attend a dinner
to be given in his honor by the state
fair officials will stay over until Sun
day to hear what the colonel has to
say. Mr.. woodruff was asked whether
he had heard anything in confirmation
of a report said to have emanated
from friends of Colonel Roosevelt that
President Taft looks with favor on the
Roosevelt program at the state con-
vention.
you haven't heard that the presi-
dent has taken such a position, have
you?" was the chairman's reply.
1T does not make any difference,
however, so far the temporary
craftsmanship is concerned. The state
committee took a dignified position in
selecting the vice president of the
United States and that selection was
finally acquiesced in by every member
of the committee present with the ex-
ception of County Chairman Griscom
and Harry w. Mack, who were not re-
corded.
II don't see how any of the men
who voted to make Mr.. Sherman's
election unanimous can go into the
convention and vote for some one else
who has been injected into the situa-
ton any more than they could go out
and work against a candidate whose
nomination they had helped to make
unanimous in a convention"
Lloyd Griscom. when told what
Chairmon Woodruff had said. made
this comment:
"Mr Woodruff ignores the fact that
Mr.. Sherman's election by the state
committee was attained by misuse of
President Taft's name. Mr.. Sherman's
election was accomplished in such a
manner that he cannot with dignity ac-
cept it,
Questioned as to the reports that
Col. Roosevelt's adherents were not
supposed to endorse President Taft's
administration at the state convention,
Mr.. Griscom said:
Il have not heard that any Republi-
can in the state is opposed to giving
the fullest endorsement to the admin
istration of President Taft. 1 certain

THEY BURN TWO BARNS.
Night Riders Busy With Property OF
Both Factions.

Brookville, KY, Sept. 15.-Night
riders presumably burned two barns
in Bracken county last night and. al
though the losses were small equity
and Antiquity men suffered, the
barns of w. o. Bradford, an equity So
ciety solicitor, and George B. Kenny,
a non-equitv planter, being burned.
Bands of masked men appeared
simultaneously at both places after
midnight and were seen setting fire to
the barns. During the night rider
trouble in Bracken county last sum-
mer, Mr.. Kenny permitted the state
militia to encamp on his farm and
since that time he has frequently been

NEED HOSPITAL WARD.
One Is Recommended as Addition to
the Jail.

After an official inspection of the county
Jail this morning Judge A. w. Dana of
the district court and County Attorney
John ]. Schenck decided on a recommen-
dalton for the construction of hospital
ward for the Shawnee county jail to be
The east ,T T1e" pro1osed structure. Which
would cost about 1000 would serve as an
emergency hospital and give quarters for
the segregation of juvenile prisoners. It's
need has been generally acknowledged.
Other suggestions for Improvements in
the jail will probably include one for new
color scheme for the cells. Now they are
in their natural iron color, dark and
difficult to clean. That they should be
painted or enamelled white while all the
be whitewashed is the opinion of the Off
Gals who looked the county keep over
this morning These recommendations
will probably be filed with the board of
county commissioners in writing.

VIEWED WITH ALARM.
Germany Wants Patent Convention
With U. s. Changed.

Washington. Sept. 15.-Efforts OF
German manufacturers to secure the
abrogation or material amendment OF
the existing patents convention be-
tween the United States and Germany
as indicated by press reports is viewed
with some concern at the state depart
ment.
ications recently in subject but it is
surmised that the German manufactur-
ers are DESTROYS of having the conven-
ton amended on the lines of the exist
ing British patent treaty, so as to re-
quire Americans taking out German
patent to manufacture the patented
articles in Germany.
This would be very serious blow 10
American manufacturers and it can be
safely predicted that any attempt in
that direction would be strongly resist

BIcKEL WILL GIVE up.
He VIII Be Taken to OIathe for Trial
at Once.

Kansas City, Sept. 15.-Karl Biekel,
the divinity student for whom a war
rant was issued by the prosecuting
attorney of johnson county, Kansas, in
connection with the death of Miss
Frances Peters, young typist of this
city, will surrender to the authorities
mere tonight, according to statement
made by his attorney here today.
The attorney refused to state where
Bickel has been since he disappeared
Immediately after the death of the girl.
The attorney said Bickel would not re-
sist extradition and would be taken TO
Olathe, Kan, at once
1t is known that the accused young
an went from Kansas City to St
Joseph and from there to Wichita. 1t
is believed that he went from Wichita
to Oklahoma City where he has friends.
Mr.. Brewster telegraphed and tele-
phoned yesterday afternoon to several
of RickePS acquaintances in Oklahoma,
but did not find the young man. He is
trying to reach him to tell him that the
best thing form him to do is to return
Mrs. Katherine Peters, mother of the
! dead girl, is with her son, Emmett
Peters, at the Avilon hotel, 500 East
Ninth street. She has told friends that
she will do all she can to aid in the
prosecution of Bickel
Emmett Peters and John L. Lewis,
who was betrothed to Miss Peters,
spent all day yesterday and most of
looking for evidence against Bickel. In
Olathe they tried to redeem the dead
girls jewelry, which was left at the
Olathe hotel in payment for a hotel
bill of SIG. The jewelry will be given
by the proprietor of the hotel to the
county authorities.
John Steed, sheriff of Johnson coun-
ty, Kansas, and c. A. Little, county
attorney, were in Kansas City yester-
day gathering evidence. Both say they
are eager to prosecute Bickel as soon
as he is found.
Joseph Taggart, prosecutor of Wyan-
dotte county, who is to assist Mr.. Lit
tie in the prosecution, said last night
that any killing resulting from the
commission of a misdemeanor could
be prosecuted as a murder. Bickel Is
charged with murder, degree not men
toned, but at the preliminary he may
be bound over for any degree of muir
der or manslaughter. Mr.. Taggart said
he also could be prosecuted for repre-
senting to the girl that he was physi-
clan.
Sheriff Norton of Topeka was in
structed to be on the lookout for
Rickel but he has not been seen here.
