Running Down A Clue

While investigating eXpendi-
lures in the state department,
where it cost 5000 to shoe four
horses for a year, the House in
veStigating committee struck up
on a clue tending to show that an
artist named RoSenthal had been
paid $3.50 for painting a portrait
of Justice W. R. Day and that the
government was charged with
$245O. ROsenthal testified he
had signed a blank voucher for
$3.50. 1t appears that subsequent
ly some one made the voucher APP
pear that Rosenthal had acknow-
lodged the receipt of $2450.
As it is the duty of the COM
mite under the law to inveSti-
gate the expenditures in the state
department, Chairman Hamlin of
Missouri ordered the state depart
ment to produce its books. In
stead of producing the books

Cat Out of Bag

Soon after President Taft enter.
ed the White House movement
was started by members of Con-
greSS to bring about an inveSti-
cation of the sugar trust. It was
not a partisan movement. Sen
ator BOrah of Idaho, republican
introduced a sugar investigation
resolution n the Senate, and Cam
nball Of Kansas introduced a SIM
liar one in the House.
The president was greatly dis
pleased. He sent a message to
Congress advising against an in
vestigatiOn on the ground that it
might give immunity to the men
hlgher-up and otherwise embar-
ass hte government. The message
was based on an opinion of I'm
Iited States Attorney General
Wickersham, who was inspiring
Washington dispatches at the
tie with the impression that he
was about to prosecute the men
higher-up for the 100000 sugar
Iunderweight frauds.
Now comes the Attorney Gen
eral with the statement, made I'M
der oath before a.HOuSe inveStiga.
ting committee, that he never be-
Ileved that the heads of the sugar
trust could be successfully prose-
cuted for the mderweight frauds.
lie also says that they would not
have secured immunity from pros
ecutiOn had they testified.
In other words the reasons Civ
en- by both the President and the
attorney general as to why the
sugar trust should not be inveSti-
gated under a republican house,
are now admitted to have been
fictitious.
The real reason as to why the
republicans were unwilling to per
NIT a congressional investigation
of the sugar trust now becomes
debatable. Was it because the at
tOrney general had been a former
trust attorney and was prejudic-
ed in favor of the innocence ofthe
men higher-up? Was it because
Henry P. Taft, the brother of the
president, was a sugar trust. attOr
ney? Or was it because the sug-
ar trust has always been a friend
and ally Of the Republican party,
and one of its star campaign con-
tributOrs?

Commission AptlY Named

1t is known now why Senator
Aldrich calls his lame duck com
mission a monetary commits
sion. 1t is because. it spends so
much money.
o The Monetary commission, ac-
cOrding to a report filed by the
treasury, has expended $2O7, $780,
4S Of the peoples money on Eu-
rOpean travel, meetings at fam
GUS summer resorts, on manu-
scripts, book trsnslatiOns, mono
graphs and members salaries,
and it hasn't as. yet begun to
think of quit spending. Several
lame duck senator's recently ap-
pointed who were not in on the
European trips, and they will no
doubt insist upon getting ''their
Slice" as Ben TiAman used to
say, Aside from the expendi-
lures noted, the report contains
various inSinuating entries that
read: account clerical force
and persons in attendance on com
mission"
The European trip cost $19.250.,
IS. 1t was a nice summer trip and
anybody who. has Travelled with
a Cook party will tell yOu that
d select little party Of a half .doz-
en- can make a mighty fine cir
cult Of the continent on $19,250.6(
The account is not itemized be-
yOnd this statement. Indeed,
Senator Aldrich has fixed it so
the commission can spend any
amount Of money it deSireSS with
out questioning anyone, and ham
pered by any fOrmalities what
ever. He has only to reach into
the treasury, get money and sign

lightning Kills Few

In 1906 lightning killed only
1863 people in this whole country.
Ones chances of daeth by light
ming are less than two in a mil
lion. The chance of death from
liver, kidney or stomach trouble
is vastly greater, but not if Flee
tric Bitters be used, as Robert
Madsen, Of West Burlington, Ia,
proved. Four doctors gave him
up after eight months of suffer-
ing from yirulent liver trouble
and yellow jaundice. He was then
completely cured by Electric Bit

plOy such loose business methods
as a daily practice.
As a fresh-air fund to promote
the recuperatiOn of lame ducks,
the commission is manifestly a bis
success. To this end witness the
meeting of the commission at Mar.

takes monetary backing to go to-
NarraganSett in July. The bill
was $3,493.74.

COMES TO LOVE. SHOT BY HIS WIFE
Ivy de Mentaguac barrett Comes
to Topeka for Husband.
Highly Educated French-Span-
ish Girl From Panama.

All the way from the City of Pan
anna came Ivy de Montaguac Barrett
to claim the love of William NJ. May
of 232 Harrison street an employee
OF the Davia Mercantile company. At
her new home on Harrison street the
woman this afternoon told of her long
distance courtship with the Topeka
man and the love letters that this aft
ernoon resulted in their marriage
Ii is long, long distance to the city
OF Panama and it took seven entire
days for IVY de Montaguac Barrett to
travel from her home in the canal
zone to Topeka. For three years, she
from the TOpekan. Their friendship
of a few years ago moulded itself into
well defined love affair and-well,
one day a few months ago May pro-
posed The girl in Panama accepted
and this afternoon Judge Schoch per-
formed a ceremony that started an
other couple in search of happiness
and bliss.
Miss Barrett is of French and Span
ish descent. Her mother was Spanish
and her father was prominent
French planter near Panama city. The
young woman is % years old. She is
quite dark, has well proportional fea-
lures and is good looking. AS for in
tellectual training, she has class that
would put many Kansas college grad
her native languages fluently and re-
ceived advanced training in the Eng
lish schools of Panama. The young
woman has travelled extensively and
this was her second visit to Topeka.
But back to the love affair. Three
years ago the young woman came to
Topeka TO visit friends. Somehow
neither May nor his bride give the
details=May met the young woman
and they became close friends. The
Spanish French girl was in Topeka ,
less than month, but when she re-
turned to her native land, she carried |
home a new sensation and somehow |
she looked each week for the letter
that always came from Kansas. Then |
the letters came oftener and on the |
pages were things that the Panama |
ters over. and over again and when she |
wrote to the lonesome Topeka man,
she probably returned the sentiments
that he had expressed the week be-
fore.
There was only one result. Last
week the wisp of a young woman in
Panama city started on her way to
Kansas. She arrived here last night
and this afternoon the couple were
in the probate court
May has been at the head of the
candy department in the Davis factory
for several years. He is a widower
and has several children. The BRIDE
groom of today owns his home on
Harrison street and at the Davis plant
they say May is a steady, hard work
ing man.
AS for the children which May takes
to the new HONEYWELL Mrs. May says
she can manage them; and her new
husband smiled with confidence as she
made the statement.

REPUBLICANS ENCENSED.
Chairman DoIIey Says That Is Reason
Guyer Was Defeated.

| Republican leaders about Topeka
generally ascribe the loss of the Sec
ond district to the party in congress
| as due to local issues and not a mat
ter that affects the party generally.
]. \. Dolley state chairman, was
/ inclined to be reticent in discussing
| the defeat. Il have little to say about
| the defeat of Mr.. Guyer. Republican
speakers over the state without regard
to faction did what they could over
there, but the Republican rank and
file were apathetic or incensed over
the committee action in eliminating
the other Republican candidates That
was unfortunate and played an inn
portant part in the election.
L am elated. however, over the re
suit in New York and New Jersey
The Democrats lost ground in these
two important states That makes it
look good for the Republican nominee
next year. The Democrats VIII make
a mistake in CHASING the Second dis
trict as national affair
Governor StubbS said: ut is an off
year. The election was special ana
it was to elect a congressman only Tor
half term. Then it was such a fine
day that the farmers remained at
home and worked instead of going to
the polls. Everything conspired to
bring about a light vote
Governor Stubs before he went
home to vote declared that the Social
ist vote in Wyandotte would be large
enough TO surprise people He was
right in his prediction. The Socialists
pOlled a heavy vote in Kansas City.

knows as much about Wyandotte

feat Of Guver unless there was a
heavy vote. The change from the Re
publican majority of last year to

not pretend to explain He thought
the committee action had something
TO do with 1t but how much he said
he could not say. 1--WE will win in the
Seventh district next January. of that
you may be sure said Mr.. Sessions.
Democrats about Topeka are elated
over the Second district. They say
they see the fall of the dominant party
of the state ahead for next year. The
election of Taggart has given them
hope and courage for the 1912 fight
Thev regard Guyer as an insurgent
candidate defeated in an insurgent dis
trict.
