Since the end OF 1909 there have
been some important changes in con-

Anaconda reports a material economy

the other hand the cost to Cananea,

OF the impoverishment Of their ores.

JACKSON AT AMERICAS.
Defines Vital Principles of the In
surgency Movement.

Fred S. Jackson, candidate for con-
gress in tn Fifth district, will speak
at Americas tonight. In that part of
his speech devoted to a, discussion Of
Republican principles Mr.. Jackson will
declare that he is standing on the plat
form of 1908 as we'll as that of 1910. He
will define insurgency as a movement
to carry out the pledges made by the
regular Republican party. This part Of
his address, which deals with vital
principles, is as follows:
Mr.. Martin says that the Insurgent
Republicans do not approve of a single
plank of the Republican platform Of
1908, and that they do approve of every
that year. Nothing could be farther
from the truth and the statement
shows wonderful ignorance of the po-
litical discussions of the times in and out
of con greSS. insurgency, so called, was
a fight for the faithful performance OF
the platform pledges of 1908 1t was a
protest against a self-constituted lead
ership which sought to amend that
platform and to lead the party to de-
struction upon the rocks of Reputation

out of the party. 1t invites all fair men
into the party. The states represented

licans. and wrote the national platform
of 1908. They defended it in congress,

Here in Kansas. the party council
chosen by the people have written one
of the strongest governmental docu-
ments, as a platform. the state has

BACK IN The MARKET.
Railroads Are Placing Delayed Orders
With Steel Mills.


New York, Oct. 22.-Bradstreets
says:
Irregular weather conditions figure
largely in the trade reports this week
and are held mainly responsible for
the rather smaller than expected vol
ume of sales reported as whole.
Wholesale and jobbing business dis
played the same caution and conserva-
tism noted earlier and house buying
was of a "hand-to-mouth" character,
markets are of a volume of trade
equal or superior to last year.
In some leading wholesale lines
such as cottons. the active buying
movement of the past few weeks
seems to have subsidized. Shoe manu-
facturerS report orders affected by I'M
seasonably warm weather, but there is
reported slightly better feeling in
some lines of wOrsted goods and raw
wool is firm. In the south the cot
ton movement is freer, and this, with
cooler weather, has made for a slight
Improvement in southern trade collec-
tons
Reports from the leading industries
are not greatly changed Some long
delayed specifications by railroads are
reported placed, and there are intim-
ations of a good tonnage in rails
shortly appearing. Pig iron is not
greatly changed and stocks in the
south are reported larger. An i'm
portant item is the news that the lead
ing interest is seeking trade in finish
ed products direct with consumers. ig-
noring jobbers in those lines. Leading
flour manufacturing centers report -
good trade in flour.
Building activities tend to lessen as
the season advances and a number of
markets report that in lumber it is
below normal. Business failures in the
United States for the week ending Oc-
tober 20 were 1877, against 233 last
week; PA in the like week of 1909;
231 in 1908; 22O in 1907. and 1874 in
1906.

Startling Evidence Against the
Work of Police Department.
CleriR ZumWalt Claims JointistS
We're Warned.
SAYS POLICE ARE WISE
But They Made No Attempts,
Apparently, to Arrest.
Field Man Tells OF Experiences
in Topeka Bottoms"

That the jointists and "bootleggers"
in Topeka have been tipped off, on
every raid that has been made by the
police department and that the police
are well aware of the presence of
joints, but fail to make any effort to
arrest them, is the statement made to
the State Journal by Clerin Zumwalt,
a field man fer the State Temperance
union.
Zumwalt, who has been active in
the investigation of the selling of in
toxicating liquors in Kansas for sew
eral years and who has been able to
unearth several, of the worst wet
places in the state, declares that he
has the proof and the experience to
show that his statements are correct.
Man Ahead of Police.
Zumwalt claims that the river dis
trict of Topeka is infested with people
who sell liquor. He claims that it is
no trouble whatever for a person to
obtain all the intoxicating liquor that
he wishes and without an effort.
1--WE have had several detectives do
ing a. little work for us in the bot
TOMS and one of these when working
there happened to be on the ground
one day when the police were making
raids said Mr.. ZumWalt. "A man ran
just ahead of the police and notified
the parties who were selling liquor l
could not say that this man had been
could I prove that some member of
the police force leaked and he got the
information that way. but I could
prove that this man seemed to know
what place the police were going to
raid next in every case.
Our man Joined with him and
played the part of warning the per-
sons who were selling liquor, also. in
order that he might ascertain as much
as possible how the things were done.
E,A dfCanxyarad hot hi
man seemed to be informed as to
where the police were going next and
that in every case parties who had
liquor on hands were duly warned.
One policeman at another time in
talking with our man, not knowing, of
course. that he had been sent on Sc
cret work by me, told him that he
could stand in a certain place and
throw his club into several places
where liquor was sold. This proves
that the police have not been ignorant
of the fact that the law was being
violated.
I'm fact I demonstrated myself that
any plain clothes man going into the
bottoms could gather much evidence
in the course of a few hours work.
The bottoms are infested with
bootleggers. I have demonstrated
this for myself, even though I was a
total stranger and they had many rea-
sons to suspect me they were free to
tell me their business and in one case
almost without hesitation escorted me
into a building where liquor was
served. L should judge that a plain
clothes man spending one night in
the bottoms would be able to buy
from ten to thirty different packages
of liquor from as many different par
ties.
"Au of these statements can be
proven as I have witnesses who will
swear that the facts are as above
stated"

her husband could be found. She de-
clares that when DR.. PIass heard of
the charges, in Victoria, B. c., he de-
parted Immediately for home. He had
not returned at the time Mrs. Plass
wrote her letter to Whiting.
Mrs. Plass stated in her letter that
the books of the company were found
to be in excellent condition and that
she felt confident that DR.. Plass was
innocent of any Intentional wrong. She
stated that at the time Plass left home
he had no knowledge that charges
would be brought against the company
by the government; and had gone
west to look at the timber land with a
view of selling the timber, as was
advised by a majority of the stockhold-
ers in the company.
The timber is claimed to be every
thing that is represented and is said
to have increased in value several
fold since Plass first went into the
scheme of organizing a gigantic hold
ing company.
Mrs. Plass expressed herself as feel
ing greatly injured as a result of the
adverse criticism of her husbands ac-
ton and felt that a premature judg-
ment in the case was unwarranted.

HE SPEAKS FOR LODGE.
Col. Roosevelt Delivers n Political Ad.
dress in Boston.

Boston, Oct 22.-Theodore Roose-
welt spoke here last night in behalf of
the Republican party of Massachu-
sets. He said it would be a calamity
to the nation if Senator Lodge should
fail of reelection. He said the sena-
tor was friend of progressive legisla-
ton.
That there was no difference of
opinion as to the basic principle of
protection, as the Republican party
stood solidly on the tariff commission
plan as contained in its last national
platform, was another of his state
ments.
The colonel made no reference to
the Payne-Aldrich bill, combining his
remarks to an Endorsement of the tar
iff plank of the Republican state plat
form and of the tariff board scheme.
He said he was advocating the same
political principles in his speech that
he had advocated in all his speeches
during the summer from the Rocky
mountains to the eastern seaboard.
Colonel Roosevelt's reception in Bos-
ton was an enthusiastic one.
Taking up the Massachusetts stu
alton, Colonel Roosevelt assailed Eu-
gene Foss, Democratic candidate for
governor.
1T would be bad thing for the
people of this state,' he said, ''to elect
a man who, having tried to dominate
one party and having failed, now
seeks to dominate another party"
Massachusetts, said Colonel Roose-
welt, is really progressive state in
spite of the fact that other states were
apt to ascribe to her conservatism
which she did not have. He said that
he was radical because he espoused
some things which Massachusetts al
ready had, such as the physical valu-
alton of railroads. The whole Repub-
lican party, he continued, was progress
