pounds I'm weight.
The doctors we're closely questioned
by Mr.. Wolcott, deputy State prose-
cutor, who sought to show from medi-
cal authorities similarity in this gland
swelling to lymphadenitis. and even
to swelling from an affected tooth,
but the physicians counteracted his
written authority, and all four testi-
fed that the tuberculin test was a
failure in such cases.
Chancellor Curtis asked the physi-
clans what they would do or recon-
mend for Goodwin If he was their pa
tient They replied that the gland
should be removed by an operation
provided he would consent.
Drs. Briggs. Bastian and Forrest
testified that even though the Work
house authorities put Goodwin to work
on the farm and gave him outdoor ex-
ercise, he should have rest and plenty
of nourishment and then II he were put
back into a cement cell at night all the
/ good that had been done toward build
ing up his system would be undone
Mr. Wolcott made a determined fight
to show the Board that Goodwin was
! getting proper outdoor exercise, now
and that there may be some doubt as tC
his actually contracting tuberculosis
He contended that at any rate the
Board should not pardon Goodwin un'
conditionally.
Seven Attempts Made.
Yesterdays pardon came to Goodwin
after seven attempts and five hearings
before the Board of Pardons, each time
on different or new grounds for a par.
don. Two of the hearings were held OF
the allegations of tuberculosis I'm The
mans system. Goodwin was represented
at all Of the hearings by Harry p. JOS.
lyn. who has fought hard TO get his
client free.
Goodwin was convicted of offering q
bribe to Philip Oliver Of Delaware
City to vote for the Republican candi
dates, i'm the presence Of Andrew Cros
san. Two Of the hearings were directe
to denials of the testimony Of Olive
and Crosssn and alleged confessions O
error by them. Finally the State pro
duced both Oliver and Crossan al
subsequent hearing and both stuc
tightly to their story of the offer Of tel
dollars to vote.
Goodwin was sent to Greenbank Z

DOG MAY ESCAPE TAX.
Three Year-Old Boys Life Saved by
One-Eyed Canine.

Hutchinson. Kan, July 14.-Walter
Evans. the city dog license collector, is
demanding the tax on a dog which has
but one eye and which saved a boys
life in the Arkansas river three years
ago.
He does not belong to anyone in
particular, and makes his home with
anybody who has kind word, a bone
or anything to eat. These people have
fed him for several years.
He is more than a dog for the rea-
son that he has heroic ambitious
Three years ago a small boy went
swimming in the Arkansas river dur
ing the high water. The boy, whose
name has been forgotten, waded out
into the stream and was swept away
into dangerous water. He began 10
yell for assistance and the one-eyed
dog swan out in the stream, grabbed
the boys hair in his teeth and pulled
him back into shallow water.
Evans aroused the ire of the com
munitv when he demanded the money
for the license or the delivery of the
dog. The people think that the dog
deserves a Carnegie medal rather than
a license tag and will swear vengeance
against the city officer if he attempts
to fulfill his demand.
An effort Will be made through the
city commission to get this dogs IL

Slight advances were in the majority at

American Smelling, Erie and Northern

active list to show signs of heaviness.
Movements were confined to small frac-

Secondary prices were not altered much
except in the case of a few specialties.

Pacific, Virginia. Carolina Chemical and

Trading in stocks this morning was on
a still smaller basis than yesterday but a
firm tone was maintained. Dealings were
confined to an unusually small number Of
issues. The fertilizer stocks were strong
today in response to short covering and
prospects of good cotton crops. Canadian

SCOTT IS AT HOME.
Has Nothing to Say About Candidacy
for Congress.

lola. Kan, July 14.-Charles F. Scott
has returned home from Europe, where
he has spent the last two months ds
one of the delegates from the United
States to the meeting of the Interna-
tional Institute of Agriculture. Mr..
Scott learned by wireless while at sea
last Monday Of the death of Congress
man Mitchell. He expressed deep re-
gret.
Concerning the congressional vacancy
in the Second district Mr.. Scott de-
clined to make any statement further
than to point to the scores of letters
with which his desk was piled, nearly
all of which We're from old friends III
the different counties in the district
urging him to become a candidate.
"I notice that Governor Stubs has
very wisely decided to be in no hurry
about calling the election" Mr.. Scott
said, land there will, therefore, be
plenty of time for the people to consid-
er well the claims of candidates whose
names may be brought forward. Per-
sonally, I do not care to do more at
this time than to express keen regret
that the necessity has arisen for the
calling of a special election"

Complete Water System at To-
peka Shops Of Santa Fe.
Plant of Five Million
Gallons a Day.
USE 100000 GALLONS
Shops Use Nearly Half as Much
Consumed in Topeka.
In Case Of Shortage City Could
Use Railway Water.

The Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe
has in Topeka a waterworks system
that is sufficient to supply a city of
40 900 people. With the recent COM
pletion of new system of points in
the Kaw river, the shops water plant
has raised It's capacity to 100000 l.
Ions of water day.
Already, the Santa Fe's big shops in
this city use 2,5OOOOO gallons of water
daily-or half of the capacity of the
wells and pumps. When it is consid-
cred that the city of Topeka uses only
about 100000 gallons a day. the enor-
nous consumption in the shops is more
wonderful.
The water that comes out of the shop
hydrants and faucets is as pure as the
water used in the city of Topeka. 1t
comes from points driven down many
feet under the bed of the river and
from big well near tn river. The
water in these sources comes from be-
meath the hills nearby and is as cold as
ice and clear as crystal.
The Santa Fe shop water system in
Topeka is considered one of the best
of its kind in the country. Water is
provided in every location. Not only
are the employees given free use of the
work but big hydrants stick up out of
the ground in every part of the big
shop district-ready at any time to be
tapped for an inexhaustible supply.
The water problem has been solved
by superintendent Purcell. The Santa
Fe shop superintendent was so familiar
with water conditions in Topeka that
for many years he was selected and
forced to serve as one of the water
commissioners of the city of Topeka
The big supply well has a capacity of
1000 gallons of water a minute. This
we'll was depended upon as the entire
supply until lately when the twelve
new points were driven in the river.
These points give the plant an addi-
tional capacity of 1,500 gallons of water
a minute.
It all time in the shop district the
Santa Fe maintains pressure of 100
pounds on the pipes. In the city the
normal pressure is only so pounds. At
the sounding of the fully equipped
Gamewell fire alarm system, the big
pumps of the Santa Fe pound out q
pressure of $50 pounds.
The Santa Fe mains are connected
with the mains of the city and in case
of a shortage in Topeka or break in
the mains. a connection could be made
in minutes notice.
The Santa Fe shop water system Is
complete and will be sufficient for all
purposes for many years.

ROBBED ON A WAGER.
An Officer Makes a Bet With Thief and
Loses.

Viterbo, July 14.-Captain Fabroni to-
day told the jury trying the Camorrists
mere of the investigation made by Mar
shall Farris at the home Of Maria Stem
dardo where the witness said a meet
ing was held for the purpose of plan
ming the murder of Gennaro Cuoccolo
and his wife. Maria Stendardo is the
common law wife of Nicola Nora, who
is accused of being one of the actual
assassins. She Is the only woman
among the prisoners, with whom she
is alleged to have had great influence.
It is alleged that her home was the
rendezvous for criminals. The witness
said that following the murder Of the
Cuoccolos the woman returned to her
home carrying stolen goods
Captain Fabroni related an episode
in connection with the arrest of An
tonic Paralti, who was later released.
Parlati, wishing to prove that by pro-
fession he was a thief rather than a
murderer offered to show his skill
which made it unnecessary for him to
take human life in his operations. He
laid a wager with the officers that he
could rob Marshal Farris in the pres
ence of Fabroni. Farris laughed at the
boast but ten minutes later, although
his tunic was buttoned. discovered that
his pocketbook and cigarette case had
| disappeared.
