X-RAY MACHINE PUT UP.
Commercial Club Is Examining the
Inner Workings.


A strange looking machine was
brought to the Commercial club this
morning which attracted much atten-
ton at the noon hour when the mem
bers of the club gathered for lunch.
There we're all sorts of guesses made
on the part of the business men in re-
gard to what it was. One Of the men
was standing up as a matter of a joke
in front of the machine and discussing
its merits as milking device. He was
informing his hearers that the Dairy
mems association had met during the
morning and had placed the machine
in the room for demonstrating pur-
poses.
Others guessed that it was for adj
m1n1stering electrical treatment to per-
sons afflicted with nervous prostration,
and they were nearer correct, for it
was nothing more nor less than an X
ray machine, and a Topeka product at
that
There are many people in Topeka who
do not realize that down on East Sixth
avenue is factory that manufactures
these machines, which is the only fac
tory of the kind west of Chicago E.
G Jerman is the manager. Already
the company has had an output of
about $50 machines. 20 of which are be-
ing used by the people of Topeka. They
cost anywhere from $3.50 to $1,000. Some
evening in the near future demonstra-
ton will be given in the parlors of the
Commercial club to which the public
will be invited.

BARKER SUES SANTA FE.
Wants $500 for Injuries Received at
Local Shops.

A suit for $500 damages has been
filed against the Santa F'e railway by
Daniel j. Barker, former ernploye in
the shops. According to the petition
filed Barker sustained a broken foot
and ankle November IL by negligence
of other employees for which the COM
pany is liable.
He had been engaged in boring
broken screws out of the front bumper
on an engine in the shops when three
men carrying a 450 pound equalizing
bar approached without warning and
dropped it so that it struck his ankle
and foot He has since been unable to
work and estimating his earning ca

that his injury will permanently cripple

Lincoln Day Celebration.

The Kansas Lincoln Day club will
celebrate it's ninth annual Lincoln day
exercises on the 18th of February at
Topeka. c. Patterson, president of the
club, who resides in Kansas City. Kan,
is quite anxious to make it grand
success Special invitations have been
sent to many of the foremost negroes
in the state and elsewhere to assist in
celebrating the birth of Abraham Lin
coin. 1t is a tribute to the memory of
the most distinguished representative
of the common people in American
history Especially, is his life an ex-
ample to be followed and his charac-
ter a life subject for eulogy on the
part of the American negro.
J. H. B. Taylor, chairman of the ex-
ecutive committee, says it will be the
largest gathering in the history of the
club.

GOES OVER TILL TUESDAY
Hilsinger Inquest Is Postponed Be-
cause Of TcchnicaIitfes

Because of Irregularities in the sum-
moning OF coroner's jury to hear the
evidence IN the inquisition over the re-
mains of Mrs. Flora Hilsinger, who
died a week ago, and whose death has
created a stir because it is claimed
she was Victim OF medical malprac-
uce, the inquest has been postponed
untH tuesday morning at 10 O'Clock,
when 1t Will be held in Converts un-
dertaking parlors, North Topeka, be-
fore Acting Coroner Ben Williams
When DR.. H. H. Keith, Shawnee
county coroner, learned of the rumors
in connection with the affair, he last
night secured Justice of the Peace j.
NJ. Starke 70 act as coroner. as he
could not act himself, the suspicion
having centered upon him, as he was
the physician who attended the Hill
singer women.
H Evans, Josiah Jordon, G. w.
Daley, j. ,. A. Peyton and w. T.
Purdun was summoned and the in
QUESTION set for this morning.
At the tlne set for the hearing
Arthur J. Bolinger, assistant Shawnee
county attorney. appeared in behalf of
the county, and cited that the county
attorneys Office had not been notified
by Coroner Keith of his intentions un-
til after the inquest had been ordered,
and that important legal business,
notably the Bleakley change of venue,
compelled both himself and other at
taches of the office to be elsewhere.
Bolinger also cited that as Starke
was resident of Topeka he could not
act IS coroner, as the act creating the
court of Topeka denied the right of d
justice of reace residing in the mu-
nicipality to act. He also cited that
the coroner's jury had not been drawn
in strict legal form, but stated that
he had no objection to them and that
they might act without objection.
Attorney Bolinger then offered to
the court motion to replace Justice
Starke by Justice Ben Williams, who
is a nonresident of Topeka. This was
fought by Attorney Joseph Ensminger,
Keith's attorney, but he later relented,
and the cha age was made, and the in
quest set for Tuesday.
Justice Williams appointed Drs. c.
F. Menninger and S. G. Stewart to
hold another post norton over the re-
mains. and their report will be pre-
sented at the time the inquest is held.

Scene from at Next saturday.
BILLY CONVICTED
Silver Lake Farmer Guilty of Assault
With Intent to Kill.

William Kuhrt. known at Silver Lake
as Dutch" Billy, who shot UP the town
September 5, quiet Sunday afternoon
and incidentally shot his friend, Chas
George, in the thigh, seriously wound
ing him, was found guilty of assault
with intent to kill by the jury.
During the trial an apparent col
fusion between witnesses to clear Billy
cropped out in their testimony which
defeated their intention and somewhat
baff1ed the defending lawyer, Joseph
Reed. Billy on the stand admitted he
shot George ''purposely'' in self-defense.
The witnesses said Billy seemed to
catch his heel on a clod or something
and in falling backward the gun some
how or other was accidentally discharg-
ed-they could see no other way out
of it.
A reluctant witness was E. H. Man
ming, whom County Attorney Schenck
forced on the stand to admit that he
had told Schenck after the shooting
that he had met Billy running after his
gun saying: I'm going to get my gun
and shoot the - - -" Another
witness said Billy ran out of the build
ing saying: I'm going down and get
Old Betsy and clean up the town,
which he seemingly did shortly there

BOOM FOR ROOSEVELT.
Plan to Have Him Land at Frisco on
His Return.

washington, Jan 15.-Champ
Clark, the minority leader of the
house, returned to the capital today
after ten days of speech making in
Missouri and the middle west, and
spread cheering predictions of sweep
ing Democratic victory in the con-
gressionaI election this fall and
Democratic house of representatives.
Mr.. Clark said he found a thriving
shirt of Democracy in Ohio and Mis-
souri, and other places he visited. In
Missouri, ne predicted, the Republl--
cans would be wiped off the map.
He said dissatisfaction with Republic
can rule was never so widespread as
now, and that the next house of repre-
sentatives would be Democratic as
''sure as anything in the world"
Mr.. Clark brought with him the
interesting story which he learned at
Kansas City of the departure of q
certain gentleman from the latter
place a few days ago for Africa, rep
resenting practically all of the COM
mrecial bodies of the west and middle
west to invite Colonel Roosevelt to
land at San Francisco upon his re-
tur nto the United States and cross
the continent from west to east.
''Such procession across the
country would be the greatest show
seen on this earth since the morning
stars first sang. together" said the
Democratic leader
Mr.. Clark recalled that President
Grant had done much the same thing
and said if Grant had landed at San
Francisco at a more opportune time
no power could have prevented his
nomination for the presidency for a
third term.

BIG DAY FOR GROCERS.
They VIII Own the Commercial Club
Monday Evening.

On Monday evening the grocers
and their wives will gather at. the
Commercial club quarters for a So
cial good time. The feature of the
evening will be a stereopticon lecture
by H. G. Newcomb of Philadelphia,
who Will speak on 1.-THE Cultivation of
Olives"
Mr.. Newcomb has made a number
of trips to the olive districts of Spain
and other countries. About $50
slides will be used to illustrate the
cultivation of olives, the gathering of
the crop, together with its handling
including curing, asserting and ship
ping. Then the process of manufac-
turing olive oil in France and Italy
will be shown on the screen. Other
slides will show the customs of the
country and the attractive sights
along the highways.
The lecture will be preceded by a
o'clock oyster supper. E. MOntgom-
cry, secretary of the Grocers' associa-
ton stated that there would probably
be at least 200 grocers and their
wives present for the occasion One
grocer remarked that when you can
get the grocers together in a social
way you can get them together for
business.
This social evening is another in
stance of the get together" spirit
that the Commercial club is creating.
The secretary of the Commercial club
sent the speaker for Monday evening,
Mr. Newcomb, clipping from the
State Journal announcing the lecture
and the following is taken from a let
ter written by him upon receipt of the
clipping:

don't know but that I am getting

pie think we eastern men have lot

warm up my feet, because 1 certainly

ting cold feet after an announcement
of that kind"
In reply to this communication Sec
rotary Badders wrote:

notice of your coming to Topeka which

boosters for Topeka and anything in
the nature of entertainment given for
Topeka merchants is always given con-
siderable prominence.

DoLLEY WRITES OF BANKS.
Says Kansas Institutions Were Never
in Healthier Condition.

In the last issue of the Financial
Age, one of the leading journals of
this class, is an article under the
heading, Banks of Kansas" written
by J. N. Dolley, state bank commits
sioner as follows:
THE Kansas banks were never in a
more strong and healthy condition
than they are today. A very strong
Increase was shown for the year 1909.
The total resources of the state banks
we're over 121 millions.
Several important new departures
along the line of Improvement have
been made by the state banking de-
partment. Close and rigid examina-
tions are now made twice a year
There was much need of it. as in
many instances bank examinations
were more or less of farce. There
is much room for further improve
ment, and I am of the firm opinion
that if examinations were made as
they should be made, it will reduce
imum. There is still room to reduce
bank failures at least fifty per cent
The Kansas department does not
now permit the establishment of two
not permit the establishment of
spite" banks-banks instituted by
spectators and promoters. The stock
must be owned by people of financial
rating and IN good standing in the
several communities, and we demand
a financial statement from each stock
holder and a complete history of the
stockholders business enterprises be-
fore the charter is granted
Each and every director of a state
bank in Kansas must attend all regu-
lar and special meetings OF the board
of directors or give a good and suf-
fcient reason for not doing So They
must also read and be fully conversant
with the banking laws of the state
and keep in close business touch with
the management of the bank.
''The bank deposits have more than
doubled in the past five years in Kan
sas per capita wealth has increased
from $69.S9 in 1904 to S113.65 in 1909. The
assessed valuation per capita of all
taxable property in Kansas is exceed
ed by only one state In the Union and
that is Massachusetts,. The question
was asked only a few years since, when
Kansas was in dire distress and calling
for help from the outside world What
is the matter with Kansas The an
swer at the close of the year 1909 is.
There is nothing on earth the matter
with Kansas; she is more prosperous
than any other state in the American

JACKSON TELEGRAPHs HOCH.
Wants TO Know Conditions of Emmett
DaIton's Pardon.

Attorney General Jackson. acting on
the suggestion of Governor Stubbs has
sent a telegram to Ex-Governor Hoch in
quiring as to the conditions attached to
the pardon granted to Emmett Dalton from
a life sentence at Lansing. The governor
has announced that he is going to try to
put Dalton back in prison from alleged
violation of his pardon for being connect
ed with a moving picture show. Dalton
was the only survivor of the raid by ban
dts ON the Coffeyville bank some eighteen
years ago.
The newspaper men who were here at
the time Dalton secured his pardon from
Governor Hoch are firmly of the opinion
that Dalton secured an unconditional par
don from the Marion editor.
There is also considerable difference of
opinion to the exact amount of harm
a moving picture show of bank robbery
will do. The moral side of the pisture is
strongly represented in the killing and
capture of the robbers. Many reputable
citizens of Coffeyville and Bartlesville.
OKLA have spoken in praise of Dalton's
conduct since he was released from prison.

BATTLES TO PRISON.
With Merlin Reed Goes to Leaven-
worth for IS Months.

Kansas City, Kan, Jan. 15.-Atten
ton was called by Judge John C. Pol
lock in the federal court here today to
the manner in which Topeka citizens
had befriended Ohio Battles because
of the fact that he had suffered injury
which had deprived him of a limb
The action of the youth in taking part
in systematic robbery of mail
pouches on The way from the Topeka
postoffice to the railroad station, the
court branded as base ingratitude.
Battles and his companion, Merlin
Reed, self confessed as regards their
guilt, We're each sentenced to one and
one-half years in the federal prison.
Charles O,Neill, convicted of the
murder of Miss Minnie Scharbora at
the Fort .Ileavenworth military reser-
walton last July, was not sentenced.
This Formally will probably be taken
Monday. If sentenced to hang, of
execution will probably be in Leav-
enworth county.
The court has yet to pass sentence
upon Clyde Carrier of Greensburg,
who admitted in court that he had
been guilty of sending obscene matter
through the mails. Carrier was ar
rested along with George Rodgers and
Harry Walker, also of Greensburg.
The latter Two went to trial and were
acquitted. Carrier admitted what he
had done and said that to his knowl-
edge neither of the other lads had
anything to do with the affair.
All the work of the district court
has been completed, with the excep-
ton of sentence yet to be passed The
circuit court is now in session, and
cases have Eeen set until January 10.
AS some of the cases may require more
than the allotted time for trial the
court session may extend over next
week

RUSSIA LEADS in WHEAT
United States Forced Into Second
Place as Producer.

Washington, Jan. 15.-The United
States has lost its place as the great
est wheat producing country in the
world and Russia has won that dis
total yield of wheat in the United
States was next to the largest in the
history of American agriculture, the
crop of 1901 only having exceeded it,
Russia last year produced the re-
markable harvest of 1888 million bush
els. which constitutes the largest crop
ever harvested by any country and 26
million bushels greater than that of
the United States.
The great yield of Russia for 1909
as shown by the revised official re-
turns received by the United States
department of agriculture exceeds by
more than 100 million bushels the
previous record of Russia. Only twice
has the wheat production of Russia
surpassed that of the United States,
the first in 1904. when the crop here
was q partial failure. About one
fourth of the Russian crop is exported
Last year rye was grown on y million
acres acres IN Russias Where rye is the chief
department from dozen countries which
IN the preceding year produced more than
crop, exclusive of the midSeason crops of
India and the southern hemisphere, show
In the aggregate net gain in 1909, of SS7
million bushels or nearly IS per cent
over the yield of the same countries in
1908. This wouldd indicate that the So
called worlds production last year was
approximately 2,150 million bushels. All
but three of the countries heard from re-
port an increase; those with short crops
are Germany. Hungary and Bosnia-Herze-
govina.
The condition in which the crop entered
the winter is satisfactory except in Great
Britain and Russia An official crop re-
port from Russia rates the crops as below
average in provinces that contain 80 per
cent of the rye acreage and Il per cent OF
the area of winter wheat.

entered the room fifty of them rushed
up to know if 1 could give them any
wheat.

appeared of being dead but you can't
tell by that. The tendency is for ice
over the ground to smother the wheat,
but we have no definite information at
the present time"

MILLIGAN IS DEAD.
Young Man Crushed at Santa Fe
Shops Dies.

Earl MilIigan, who was fatally
crushed by one of the big cranes in the
Atchison, Topeka & Santa -Fe shops,
where he was employed, died at the
Santa Fe hospital this afternoon at
1905 o'clock as result of his in
juries. He was removed to the hos
pital shortly after the accident and
little hope was held out for him.
Mrs. Milligan, who lives at Fort
Scott, the home of the young man,
was sent transportation last night by
the railroad to come here. The re-
mains will re taken to Fort Scott for
burial
