DOLLEY IS AT WORK.
Begins Organization for Republican
State Campaign.

J. N. Dolley, state chairman, return
ed to Topeka today from his home in
Maple Hill and plunged at once into
the deails of the preliminary work to
the campaign which will begin in
earnest next week. Mr.. Dolley was in
conference all morning with Governor
Stubbs, Attorney General Jackson,
William Biddle of Leavenworth and
other party leaders in regard to the
detail of dates for meetings and the
printing and sending out of literature.
Mr.. Biddle, who will have charge OF
the Anthony campaign in the First
district. stated today that the con-
gresham would make at least two
speeches in each county, but that his
dates had not yet been arranged.
Mr. Jackson will make as few
speeches as he possibly can during the
campaign as his Office is covered up
with work this fall. He Will try and
close up as many of his cases as he
can before giving up the office Janu-
airy Is.
Mr.. DoIley is feeling pretty badly
over the destruction of his new resi-
dence at Maple Hill by fire last Satur-
day morning. He has no idea as to
the cause of the fire. The house had
lust been finished and the paint and
varnish of the interior decoration were
hardly dry. The only theory in re-
gard to the fire is that it must have
started from spontaneous combustion.
Mr. Dolley is not disposed to believe
that the fire was of incendiary origin

Rome, Sept. 27.-With the removal of

COOLEY WANTS $4,000
Meeting to Talk Over Purchase of
Ball Club Will Be Tomorrow.

Some definite plan regarding the
proposed purchase of the Topeka
Western league club from Owner
Cooley is expected to be made at a
special meeting of the Commercial
club tomorrow noon. The baseball
fans are loath to lose the franchise
and Tip O'Neil wants Topeka to keep
it. The Commercial club, lining up
with the fans, knows that a good
baseball team is one OF the best of
advertisements for a city and, there
fore, will act.
Just what is proposed to be done is
uncertain and the meeting tomorrow is
to decide. Two plans have been men
toned. One is the stock company
plan and the other a subscription plan
with IL or "a associate owners. A
committee appointed last week to see
Cooley got from him an offer to sell
for $4,000. Cooley owns the ground
lease and stands, the franchise and
club and all would be included for
that amount.
The undertaking is a serious one
and the Commercial club is DESTROYS
of having on hand, all members and
anyone interested in Topeka's baseball
future. It is probable Cooley's price
will be considered too high.

NO HEARSAY TALK
Lorimer Investigation Com
mittee Rules Out Evidence.
Shuts Out Whites ''He Told Me
S0' Revelations.

Chicago, Sept. 27.-Basing his rulings
On the decision of the senate investiga-
ton committee in the case of Senator
George E. Spencer, in Alabama in
1875, Chairman Barrows today barred
hearsay evidence from the Lorimer
hearing.
The session of the investigating COM
mittee began today with the citation
of further authorities by Attorney
Austrian on the admissibility of testi-
mony by Representative White on
conversations with other legislators.
The admissibility o. these conversa-
tons with other legislators who White
says told him they were bribed to vote
for Senator Lorimer is one of the
contested points of the hearing.
The testimony was excluded yester-
day for the time being, after White had
declared Representative Joseph Clark
had told him that he was brlbed to
vote for Senator Lorimer.
White said:
CLARK told me that Michael Link
said he would have voted for Lorimer
for $500 and he, Clark, kept after him
and made him hold out for $1,000 winch
they both received"
On this point the committee was
given numerous citations by Attorney
Austrian which they discussed in a
conference last night.
State Senator D. w. HolstlaW of
Iuka who told States Attorney Burke
and the grand jury of Sangamon
county that he had been bribed to
vote for Senator Lorimer, arrived at
the Congress hotel today in custody
of a deputy U. S. marshal He has
been served with a summons to testify
and is expected to follow Representa-
tive S. J. c. BeekemeYer, another
Democratic legislator, who has con-
fessed that he was bribed to vote for
Senator Lorimer.
Beckemeyer is expected to be the
second witness in support OF the
charges that the election of the jun
Tor senator was through corrupt meth
DDS.
States Attorney Edmund Burke OF
Sangamon county, desires to hear the
testimony of State Senator Holstlaw.

MUST Wife PAY?
Question Whether She Should Put Up
Own Purchase Price.

Washington, Sept. 27.-Should a
widow be compelled to pay a debt con-
tracted by her husband when he
bought her for his wife, That is a
question the superintendent of the
Skokomish Indians Washington was
called upon recently to decide. This
peculiar case, the only one of its kind
that has ever come to the attention
of Indian officials. was discovered by
Assistant Commissioner Abbott of the
Indian office, while on a recent in
spection trip -
The story of the adventure follows
chronologically. The Indian when a
very young man bought his wife for
something like 5000
To pay for her he borrowed the
amount from his father. When the
husband died, about thirty years later,
he still owed a balance of $100.
Upon the death of the husband the
! father attempted to collect the balance
of the debt from the woman. The
question was put to the superintend-
ent when the father applied to him
! to force the woman to sell her land
in order to pay a part of the purchase
! part of herself
The question was decided in favor of

NO FAKE CHARITY
Endorsement Committee of Com
mercial Club Organized.
Will Try to Keep People From
Being Fleeced.

Fake solicitors for "charita ble'
funds will have a hard row to hoe
in Topeka. The board of directors of
the Commercial club in session this af-
ternoon decided to establish a charities
endorsement committee, the members
of which will be appointed in the near
future. The action was taken on the
suggestion of Guy t. JuStiS. secretary
of the Topeka Provident association.
The main object of the new COM
mittee," said Mr.. Justis, is to protect
the business men and the general pub
lie from fraudulent solicitors for char
table purposes.
1T will be the function of the COM
mittee to carefully investigate every
charitable institution that comes be-
fore the public for support, and in case
the investigation proves that the cause
is worthy a card will be issued to the
institution to show that the investi-
cation has been made.
THE committee will warn business
men of fraudulent institutions in the
city. It will be just a system of hand
ling private charities in a business
like way. 1t will be help to the
worthy charita Bile causes, and of course
| the public in general will benefit.
In making an investigation the
| method of obtaining funds will be as
! certalned in the first place, and then
the relation of the board of directors
of the institution and the executive
officer who has the work in hand will
be noted. Lastly the degree of eff
cheney maintained will be found out
| by the Investigating committee.
"Of course one can't compel the
| charitable institutions to allow the
members of the committee to make the
| Investigations but it will be to their
advantage to do SO provided they are
doing a legitimate work. Ninety per
cent of the funds for charitable pur-
poses are perhaps subscribed by mem
| bers of the Commercial club, and thai
is the reason they should have a right
to make an investigation so that they
may be protected.

great American commonwealth as a
true democracy and steadily to endeav-
or to shape our legislation and our
social condition SO that there shall be
a far nearer approach than at present
toward equality of opportunity among
men. The corporation must be pro-
tected must be given its rights but it
must be prevented from doing wrong
and its managers must be held in strict
accountability when it does wrong
and it must be deprived of all secret
influence in our public life We must
strive to do away with the social and
economic injustice that have come
from falling to meet by proper legis-
lation the changed conditions brought
about by the gigantic growth of our
gigantic industrialism.
We must see that, by far reaching
legislation the workman who is Grip
pied and the family of the workman
who is killed in industry are compen-
stated, SO that the losses necessarily III
cident to certain industries shall be
equitably and fairly distributed instead
of being placed on the shoulders of
those not able to bear them. We must
make it a matter of obligation by the
state to see that the conditions under
which workingmen and women do their
work shall be safe and healthful. SO
far as by legislation is possible we
must strive to give to the working man
the power to achieve and maintain a
high standard of living.
People Must Rule.
1--WE who come together to set the
stadard of our party have a grave re-
sponsibility to that party and to the
public. Democracy means nothing I'M
less the people rule. The rule of the
boss is the negation of democracy.
1--WE should at once introduce in this
state the system of direct nominations
| in the primaries so that the people
shall be able to decide who the can
didate shall be, instead of being limit
ed merely to choosing between can
didates with whose nomination they
have had nothing to do.
"Our country offers the most won
derful example of democratic govern
ment on a gigantic scale that the
world has ever seen, and the people
| of the world are watching to see
whether we succeed or fail. We be-
| Iieve with all our hearts in democracy
in the capacity of the people to gov
ern themselves and we are bound to
| succeed, for our success means not
| only our own triumph but the triumph
| of the cause of the rights of the peo-
| pie throughout the world and the up
| lifting of the banner of hope for al
| the nations of mankind.
