INTEREST IS GROWING.
Topeka's Fashion Week Will Be Long
Remembered.

Interest is growing in fashion week.
The Saturday edition of the State Jour
nal will be a special fashion number,
wherein the merchants will set forth
what they individually wiz have in
the way of offerings for the occasion.
While no windows have been decor
ated as yet for the first annual event
of the kind, by the first of the week
they will present festive appearance
all the way down Kansas avenue. No
merchant can afford not to decorate,
for the reason that any firm that does
not do so will be branded by the shop
pers as being non-progresSive and con-
sequentiy the trade will go to the
ssfellows'' who enter into the spirit of
the occasion.
The idea is to make Topeka the
great fashion center of Kansas for the
week Even Topeka people are ex-
pecting to do their Easter shopping a
week earlier this year and take ad-
vantage of the fact that next week
they will be able to choose goods from
complete stocks.
1t is expected that many of the
country people will drive in for the
occasion. To see the new Mills build
ing in full operation will be some
thing that will serve as drawing
card, as this magnificent store has
been given so much publicity.
The merchants have decided to dis
play the Stars and Stripes from their
respective places of business. which
will make it evident that there is
something doing in the city as
strangers who come here to shop take
a glance up or down Kansas avenue.

COUNTYATTORNEYSH HERE
L. "A. McNeaI and Congressman Madi-
son Make Speeches.

E. H. Madison, congressman from
the Seventh district. was the only
speaker besides Justice Burch during
the morning session of the conference
OF the county attorneys. His talk was
on few observations relating to the
work of the county attorneys from one
Who had been county attorney and
also a district judge in Kansas.
Il know that am treading on pro-
fessional ethics, but 1 want to say that
the county attorney who sits in his
come in are all failures" said Mr.
Madison. "Get out and make COM
plants yourselves. Enforce the law
Every county attorney that 1 have
known who got out and hunted up
violations instead of waiting for COM
plants to come up has had the re-
Spect and confidence of his people and
many of them have obtained and hold
the respect and confidence of the peo-
pie outside their own counties.
1T is your duty to crystalline senti-
ment in favor of the enforcement of
the law. If the sentiment in your
county is against the enforcement of
some particular law you should go out

obey the law, whatever it may be and
it is your duty to see that the people
respect and obey the law.

any other state and generally speak

reform of the civil and criminal pro-
cedure is really the most important

for the reform of the court procedure

this meeting will be fraught with great
consequences
Mr.. Madison made numerous com
PARSONS showing how the present civil
and criminal procedure were obsolete
in manv particulars and ought to be
changed in the interest of justice.
Il think Kansas has less use for the
initiative and referendum than any
other state in the Union" he con-
t1nued, but 1 also think that the
initiative and referendum should be
written into the constitution of this
state. The people here are progress

to get satisfaction from the legisla-

About one-half the county ATTORNEYS
OF the state were present at the meet

LETS IN HARVESTER CONCERN
Acme Admitted to Kansas as Conn
petitor for Trust.

The Acme Harvester company, a four
million dollar Illinois corporation that
is the only active competitor of the In
ternationa1 Harvester company, was
admitted to transact business in Kali
sas by the state charter board. This
company has been doing a mail order
business for many years but has had
active agents in the state as it could
not be incorporated under the Kansas
laws. The 1911 legislature changed the
law so the manufacturers of agricul-
tural implements could be incorporated
or admitted to transact business in the
state
AS soon as the law became effective
the Acme people came in with their
charter and a big fee. The company is
going to build a big warehouse at
Wichita and several small warehouses
in other cities of the wheat belt and

A FALL IS FATAL.
Joseph Leschman Fractures Skull in
Santa Fe Yards.

Joseph Leschman, a Russian laborer,
was killed in the Santa Fe yards
Thursday afternoon by falling from the
top of a pile of lumber. Immediately
after his fall he was taken to the Santa
Fe hospital by fellow laborers but he
lived but two hours. At the time of
his death his wife and four or five
friends We're at the bedside and Father
Henry had been called. Upon his death
he was taken to Tally undertaking par
Iors where the wife and friends and
Father Henry conducted the last SOL
emn rites.
A great injustice was done the fellow
employees Of Leschman and the Santa
Fe officials in the report of the acct
dent in a Topeka paper this morning.
1t was stated-in lurid terms how a
reporter was the only interested per
son, how he chased frantically over
the city in an attempt to find the
identity of the man and how every eff
fort was made by him and him only
to locate the wife and friends OF the
man.
While all this chasing was going on
Leschman lay dying in the hospital
with his wife and friends at his bed

doing all in their power to save his
life. The wife of the dying man was
located and informed Immediately af-
ter his fall by Santa Fe employees and
everything was done to comfort the
relatives.
Joseph Leschman. with his wife ana
one child years old, lived at 325 Ce-
dar street. He was 80 years old. He
came to Topeka from South America

Observation-Disclosures
Careless Preachers May Cause COmpli-
cation in Topeka.

Due largely to the neglect and care
lessness of the Topeka min
listers of the gospel, it was learn
ed today that the Shawnee county
condition. Many ministers have neg
lected to make returns on marriages
and it appears that there has been any
number of weddings in Shawnee coun-
ty the last several years of which the
books in Judge Schoch's court bear no
record
1t was after an investigation of this
condition that a clerk in the probate
judges office was instructed to notify
the preachers to get busy. Nearly a
score of licenses issued in the last
year have never been returned 1t was
found that there are missing records as
far back as Is and 20 years and these
facts may some day result in some
healthy lawsuits.
When a couple is married by a min
lister, the representative of the gospel
is given the license. On this he makes
certificate of the marriage, fills in the
proper blanks and is supposed to re-
turn the document forthwith to the
Office from which it was issued. But
this does not always happen. Some
times the minister is busy wrestling
with his glowing Sunday sermon. Some
times there is an elaborate chicken
pie dinner in the adjoining precinct
and the little bit of paper that tells of
the Joy and bliss of a united couple
is misplaced.
But the happy young couple keeps
plodding through the years of joy and
sorrow. A family is reared, a fortune
is made. and perhaps lost. Then per-
chance father dies. Almost Immediate

ply at the probate court for a divis-

hastens to the court house to produce

there. To be sure there are any num-
Der of tears. The probate judge is
sorry. But the license was issued
years ago. Witnesses are dead. So is

yers to start a row that will eat up

 BACCALAUREATE SERMON
ON COTTON
 CROP IS FEATURE Market Will Closely Watch For Government Re-
 port Friday

New Orleans, May 2S-The cotton mar ket this week will be chiefly concerned with the government reports on condi- ton and acreage to be issued Friday. Brokers have already started to get their accounts in shape to go over these first reports on the new crop, but this week the evening up will be on a large scale. According to the popular notion this liquidation will have opposite effects on the two crops; it is expected that the liquidation of the old crops will be heav- fer on the long side and will work against values; on the other hand, in the new crop it is expected that the large short interest will do more or less covering, which will have bullish influence on prices. This will tend to narrow the differences between the two crops.
 The weather of the week will not be given the prominence it will deserve be- cause it will in no way be a factor in the report on condition; the percentage of condition will be based on replies to the government dated May 25. The weather from that date will influence the condi- ton figures of June 25.
 AL lue elu OI ldSt week lHe OUTLOOK WdS for showers In the western half of the belt, with the likelihood they would spread into the eastern half of the belt by the first of this week. If these showers are experienced they will have a bearish eff feet on new crop values. although trad CTS who are looking for chances to put out new short lines will not be willing to get in too deep with the bureau re- ports in the way.
 The market recently has had many re- ports of cotton opening in the Rio Grande valley. There Is the usual competition among the farmers there to produce the first bale of new cotton and there seems to be every chance that the first bale this year will be ahead of any other first bale. The effect on prices of this will be chiefly sentimental; the news of 1t will be wired and cabled to all parts of the cotton world and will tend to give spinners and spot buyers an exaggerated notion of the forwardness of the new crop and may induce short selling and from the spot market. Bear houses on the weekend claimed that the first bale was likely to be marketed this week.
