FOUR AUTO VICTIMS.
Miss Verne Casebier Saves Baby-Car
Turns Turtle.

Automobiles still continue to act
as if they owned the highways. Their
defiance of all law goes on uncheck-
ed. Speed regulations are torn to
pieces and the list of the injured grows
steadily.
Four persons were hurt by automo-
biles in this city within the last TWEEN
ty-four hours. They are as follows:
Miss Verne Casebier. student at
WaShburn college, right arm broken.
N. Alternately, employee of local
automobile company, broken collar
bone.
w. H. Anderson. draughtsman,
broken leg.
Santa Fe railroad, sprained back.
Miss Casebier received her injury at
Tenth and Polk streets, when she
saved baby boy. whose name could
the wheels of a large red touring car.
Miss Casebier is student at Wash
burn college and was on her way to
attend dinner party at Bethany col
lege, when she saw man in an auto
mobile driving like mad and rapidly
mere baby-who was play
ing in the street. Realizing,
at once, that the child would be
killed instantly. if the car struck it,
Miss Casebier sprang to the child's
side and brushed it aside. AS she did
so the side of the car struck her,
throwing her to the ground, breaking
her right arm. The automobiles did
not even turn his head but kept right
on ahead.
Anderson. Alternately and McVey
were injured when a Great Smith car
turned turtle in Cages park. The ma
chine was going at a high rate of
speed, with Anderson at the wheel,
when a tire exploded. The automobile
turned over. Anderson was caught
under the car and had a narrow eS-
cape from death. McVey is seriously
injured. 1t is feared that he is suffer-
ing from internal injuries in addition
to the sprain he received.

BIG CROWD AT CHANUTE
Governor Stubbs Has Good Audience
on Memorial Day.

According to reports from Chanute.
Governor Stubs. delivered the finest
speech of his career there on Memorial
Day. His address made an excellent
impression with his large audience the
largest ever gathered in the Hetrick
tEeater. The management had to lock
the doors in order to keep the building
from being crowded to the danger point.
Hundreds of people were turned away.
The governor, after talking about the
soldiers on both sides in the civil war,
turned to the character of Lincoln for
a text for all fine things and then fur
Their back to that of Washington and
Franklin and the heroes of the Hevolu
ton. He brought politics into his talk
by way of Roosevelt. In paying tribute
to the ex-preSident and the latter'S fight
for civic righteousness, the governor
turned naturally into the fight in Kan
SaS for reform. His audience went wild
at mention of Roosevelt's name. Ac-
cording to the governor patriotism and
reform Should walk hand in hand in
state and national life. Good citizen
ship is so closely allied with politics
that the one is not out of place when
the other is mentioned.
Governor Stubs returned from Cha
mute feeling greatly encouraged over
the situation in the Third district. He
believed that all the talk about Wag-
staff's strength in his home district has
beSI SAdSSSIdlSu lie SOFSIIlOT Sotlu
that he met Montgomery county men at
the Chanute meeting who declared that
Wagstaff would not carry his own
county of Montgomery.
The governor is convinced from his
reception so far in the campaign that
there will be a landslide for the insur-
gent candidates for office IN Kansas.
Governor Stubs left today for Win
field where he will talk tonight at the
dedication of a new building for the
Methodist church at that place. From
Winfield he goes to Ness City; thence
to st. John and Stafford in Stafford
county. From Stafford he goes to Dodge
City where he is to speak on Friday
The governor will spend next week in
the northeast corner of the state.
Mr. Wagstaff, the opposing candidate
for governor, speaks tonight at Phillips
burg, tomorrow at Norton and Friday
at Oberlin. He will spend Saturday i'll

ABBOTT is RELEASED.
Veteran First Baseman No Longer on
Topeka Team.

Spencer Arthur Abbott. first base
man for the local ball club. was un-
conditional1y released last night by
DICK Cooley, owner of the club The
team Is on its way to Denver. Abbott
! IS IN town and is undecided to his fu-
/ ture. Beyond the fact that he will
play ball. he has not discussed his
plans.
Abbott says he is as much in the
dark as to the cause of his release as
anyone. Cooley is not here and SO his
version of the story can not be given.
It is likely that the showing made by
Landreth at first had something to do
with Abbott's release. Landreth has
been hitting like fiend and play first
fairly Well He was put in the game
because of his hitting prowess. Boles
VIII manage the team instead of
Abbott.
According to Abbott. Cooley has
been angry at him for several days.
mere was no trouble. however. and
the former first sacker says he knew
nothing of his impending fate until
Tuesday night after the train left Val
ley Falls. He says Cooley called him
to the end of the car, asked if he had
drawn any money since pay day and
said he wanted to settle up with him.
Abbott demonstrated that such action
was a little sudden and the big man
ager said It wasn't so far as he was
like the way Abbott had been doing, it
is reported, and gave the former first
sacker check for his wages.
L don't know what was the matter,
unless Cooley decided not to carry an
other first baseman and picked Ian
dreth instead of me- said Abbott. 81
was going good, 1 thought and did not
dream of such thing. l have always
worked my best for the Topeka ball
club and tried hard to help win pen
nants for the town. I don't know just
where l will go from here. 1 have
two or three places in view and will
locate at some of them
Abbott first came to Topeka when
the town was in the old Western asso-
citation. Twice during the Western
association days he managed teams
here. While he was on the team he
has been field captain under Cooley.
He is heady player, good base run
ner and fields his position well. He
isn't the hardest hitter in the world
but usually clouts for ESQ or there
abouts He is we'll known in Topeka
and has host of friends here.
For sometime there has been rumors
enc expected an unconditional release.
game reports from st. Joseph indicate
that he did his share. He had not
played for II days.
For Cooley's side of the story we
will likely have to wait until the man
ager returns to Topeka unless he
sooner volunteers an explanation
Fugate, the left handed pitcher, was
not taken on the Denver trip. He is
in Topeka.

MAY NOT ERECT STAND.
Holman Expected to Bow to Central
Park Neighborhood.

Although City Commissioner Holman
has made no formal decision as to the
erection or nonerection of a baHdstand
in Central park it is the general opin-
icr of the mayor and city commission
ers that Mr.. Holman will decide against
such q proposition when he takes into
consideration the sentiment of the peo-
Ele living near the park.
Mr.. Holman is still Investigating the
matter and not until he feels that the
change will be satisfactory to everyone
" i'll he make the announcement. There
has been considerable pressure brought
tC bear upon him to locate the band
stand in Chespey park just two blocks
south CT Central park. However. Mr..
Holman fears that the recent sewer
excavations across that park have ru-
iEed it for this purpose.

TO BE A JURY TRIAL.
Government Objects to Commissioner
Plan in BIeached Flour Case.


Kansas City, Mo, June 1.-Pierce
Butler of ST. Paul, special assistant at
torney general appointed by the gov
eminent to try the bleached flour case,
referred to the department at WASH
ington the suggestion of Federal Judge
Smith Mcpherson that special COM
missioner be appointed to hear the evil
dence. Attorney Butler telegraphed to
Washington for instructions about the
matter.
This is considered the most import
ant case of its kind that has come up
since the federal food and drug law
was enacted and Judge Mcpherson
said he desired to hear all interested
parties before deciding how the case
should be tried.
Although the -four seized by the gov
eminent, which is the basis of contro-
versy in this case, was shipped by the
Lexington Mill and Elevator company
of Lexington, Neb., that company is
not defending the suit. 1t is under
stood that the burden of the expense
will fall on all millers who make flour
from winter wheat in Nebraska, Mis-
souri,, Oklahoma and Kansas.
When court convened today, Attorney
Butler announced he had received a
message from the department of JUS
tice objecting to the suggestion that
the case be heard before special
commissioner. 1t was then agreed by
both sides that the evidence be heard
by a jury Judge Mcpherson ordered
that the jury be summoned
1t will require about ten days to
hear all the evidence.

eminent troops.

NO MORE WAR.
Judge West Hopes That People Will
Demand Arbitration.

Probably the most remarkable
statement made in a Kansas Memoir
ial day address was made by Judson
s. West, assistant U. S. district attor-
ney at Ellsworth, Monday, when he
declared was was "all too inhuman and
'diabolical to contemplate"
Judge West declared that he hoped
soon the consciences of the people
would be so impressed with the UNI
speakable barbarity of war that
some court of arbitrament would
soon take the place of the battlefield.
that there would be calm and DELHI
crate argument instead of shrieking
shell and hurrying ambulance and
that bells and bugles would sound a
victory of peace instead of the climax
of human slaughter and fraternal
butchery.

However, the parole officer from
Hutchinson arrived too soon and his
work was in vain.
Moore is the man who tried to burg
larize the home of Mrs. Slaughter at
14O7 Monroe street, where he roomed.
A burglars outfit and a revolver were
found in his possession. Just before he
left for the reformatory the officers
found a cameo pin which likely cost
the owner good sum. 1t was hidden
in sack of tobacco. 1t is held at the

one who can prove that it is their
