EDDY CONCERT A SUCCESS.
PLAYED Before One of Largest Crowds
of Season at the Auditorium.

The organ recital at the Auditorium
Wednesday night drew a larger crowd
than any concert this season, except
tbe one at which Nordica sang. Mr.
Clarence Eddy is regarded as the great
est organist in the world. His manual
dexterity, his complete knowledge OF
the instrument, his technical resources,
and his scholarship, all combine to en-
title him worthily to the distinction
His skill in pedalling is one of the
strongholds of his power, but in the
accomplishment of his performances,
there is no evidence of physical exer-
ton. His manners are quiet and SIM
pie, and his playing accordingly gains
in effect.
His program was arranged with due
regard for contracst and harmonies. The
opening number was a fugue written
by Mr. Eddy on "Old Hundred" A
cherzo in E Major by Widor was one
of the pleasing numbers. The lighter
parts were played with exquisite dainti-
ness, and the tone color throughout
was perfect
Two Wagnerian numbers lent their
dignity to the program, and by special
request, Mr.. Eddy played Rossini's
overture to Wilhelm Tell, number
that is always popular and is particu-
larIy effective on the pipe organ.
A good deal of the music Mr.. Eddy
played was new and the older selec-
tions were the familiar favorites that
really never grow old.

EXIT The ROOSTER.
Egg Men Decided That He Is Not
Needed.

o! you barnyard rooster come off your
perch. You're no good no how, under GER
tain conditions. The government and the
state pure food authorities say there ism
any use growing up and learning to crow
and strut around like you owned the
earth. And these authorities are all eX-
perts on eggs and they ought TO know
something about it.
The state board of health and the gov
eminent egg experts have Joined in a
campaign against the dear old rooster
that goes to bed at shutdown and awakens
at 3 a. m. to test his voice. OF course
things like that are enough to make one
want to kill every rooster in the block
and now the egg experts give some real
excuse for numbering the Williams.
The Kansas Produce Dealers were in
session Wednesday at the Throop hotel
and the plot against the rooster was
Matched there. The government experts
have been experimenting with eggs and
they have found that infertile eggs Will
keep much longer than fortified eggs.
The state board of health is preparing
the copy of the Rotten Egg placard
10 be sent out June l and on this placard
is the following warning to egg pro-
ducers:
.'Confine or sell all the roosters in your
flock Immediately after Matching as in
fertile eggs will keep longer and better
than fortified eggs"
The dealers were in session to consider
how the egg business in Kansas could be
improved and as the experiments had
proved that the infertile eggs kept better
1t was QeclueO TO urge Jndt all those Kan
sas farmers who raise chickens for the
eggs to keep the ROSTERS away from the
flock and to have all market eggs infer
tile. 1t was suggested that the farmers
keep the hens which they wish to lay
eggs for Matching in separate pens and
that the hens which are expected to lay
eggs for the market in another pen and
not to allow the roosters in these pens.
II. NJ. LamOn, G. L. Operman and A r.
Lee were the government egg men who
attended the meeting. The government is
going to establish experiment station
at Frankfort to see why it is that so
many Kansas eggs are spoiled by the
time they reach the egg packers. The
figures for three months last year show
that ten per cent of all the eggs received
by one of the largest packers in the state
were rotten. The government is going
to keep eggs in all the different conditions
which may obtain at the homes of farm
ers. 1t will also work out model condi-
tions to show the farmers the best ways
to keep eggs so that they will not go tC
pieces so quickly.

vent the sale of bad eggs, and il is nm

ANOTHER AIR MEET
Proposed to Have One Here in
May.
Would Give It on VineWOOd Park
Tract.

If the present plans of the board of
managers of the Kansas State Fair as
sociation materialize Topeka will have
another aviation meet the latter part
of May-but this time it will be a real
meet and not a one man affair.
Negotiations are in progress with the
Moissant French aviatorS and the
Wright Brothers, and it is likely that
some definite step will be taken by the
board within few days towards
cIinching the meet for Topeka.
This morning Secretary H. L. Cook,
Secretary George S. Badders of the
Commercial club, L. w. Terry. new
conner in Topeka, and reporter went
to Vipewood by special car. Secretary
Cook was especially interested in look
ing over an 80 acre field Immediately
forth of the park which he believes
would make an ideal spot for holding
a flying event.
L. w. Terry is a Seventh Day Adj
ventist. and a member of a committee
which is thinking seriously of bringing
a conference of his church members TO
Vinewood in August.
AS to the flying event the idea would
be to have it as the spectacular OPEN
ing attraction for the popular amuse-
ment park. The field is planted in all
falfa and the comparatively smooth
surface would be conducive to quick
starts by the bird men.
One of the great drawbacks of the
Taylor tract on the Nofln sue was ING
fact of there being so many roads in
the near vicinity where hundreds or
persons could congregate in vehicles
and otherwise to see the meet without
finding it necessary to dig down into
their pockets for the price of admis-
sion into the field.
The field at Vinewood would be an
Improvement in this respect, as the
only road in the vicinity is some dis
lance to the westward and is lined with
trees so that the view of the fields is
INSTRUCTED.

monoplanes here" said Secretary COOK.

ARBITRATE 81 TROUBLE.
Chicago Sport Writer Would End Long
Row.

Chicago. April ZO.-A local sporting
writer calls on the clubs in the Three
l League to arbitrate their differences
which have kept the league in a tur-
moil for more than two months and
have prevented the adoption of a sche-
dule for 1911.
He suggests that the eight club
owners of the ThreeI League and the
owner of the Quincy club, that they
submit their contentious for final ad-
judication to an arbitration commit
tee of three persons whose decree shall
be binding on all parties.
The southern clubs should select one
member and the northern clubs one
member, and the two thus chosen
should pick the third member of the
committee. who should be acceptable
to the Quincy club.
President Johnson of the American
League expressed approval of the plan.

WILSON'S STAND
ON LOCAL OPTION
TERMED UNIQUE

Governor Wilson's confessed attitude
toward local option has caused wide
spread comment through which runs a
persistent vein of adverse criticism.
Perhaps the Philadelphia Ledger best
summarizes the dissatisfaction in
spired by the Governors attempt to
carry water on both shoulders. 1t says
editorially:
Governor Wilson'S unique position
at this time as a leader so powerful
that he has become the compelling
''boss'' of his party, State and Legis-
lature. has occasioned misgivings, in
the minds of many thoughtful persons
who are in sympathy with war oil
machines, clean politics and progress.
If a good Governor may choose and
force the Legislature to elect a particu-
lar United States senator, fashion and
enact great masses of the most i'm
portant laws, and in general make his
fat the law for the Legislature and
the party. there is a natural question
whether the old boss system has not
been perpetuated in another guise.
what is the Legislature or? To
register the will of a particular man?
Are the lawmakers to make laws or is
an individual to rule so completely
that the Legislature merely registers
the decree in the performance of min
isterial or clerical act? Such a boss may
have right aims and right ideas, too,
but If that system is to prevail the
next Governor may lave wrong ideas
or wrong aims. or both"
