Awful Threat Made by Jones Against

took advantage of the fact though a
much larger audience could be attract

of an attempt by Mrs. Norris-Blush-

NOTHING LIKE 1T.
Registration Passes Nineteen Thous-
sand Mark.

All records were broken when Capt.
Titus, city election commissioner, an
nounced today that the total registra-
ton for the coming city campaign
gave 1929 people of Topeka the right
to vote. This is the largest registra-
ton in the history of Topeka and Com
missioner Titus believes that it is a
direct sign of the phenomenal growth
of this city in the last few years.
A citys registration represents the
population of the city if multiplied by
three. Commissioner Titus believes
there are still 1000 people in the
city who didn't register. With the
natural wedding of the books it looks
as though the voting population of To-
peka is about 1000 and the real pop
ulation is at least $4,000 and most
likely, $1,000.
The largest record in previous years
was 10000. The record this year ex-
ceeds all old records by thousands
The male registration was the largest
in history-also the female. Men
egistering-11,5 55. Women-7,725.
The strenuous campaign carried on
y the four candidates for mayor is
famed for the big registration. This

WANTS THE CONTRACT.
Trinidad Company Brings Suit to
Force Award of Paving.

Despite the fact that the Kaw Paw
ing company of Topeka asked $4,000
more for the paving of fifteen blocks
in asphaltic concrete in this city, the
city commissioners awarded them the
$54,777 contract for this work Thurs
day afternoon. The C1eveland-Trini-
dad company, an out of town firm, bid
nearly $4,000 lower than the Topeka
company, but on account of recent al
legged crooked dealings in Columbus,
Ohio, the commissioners dropped
them from the running.
The Trinidad Paving company
brought suit today through Carver &
Carver, local lawyers. asking an in
junction against the Kaw Paving com
pany prohibiting them from doing
work under the contract and a man
datory injunction against the mayor
and commissioners compelling them to
award the contract to the lowest bid
der.
The Cleveland company claim their
assets are in excess of 100000 and
that the contract was not awarded
them through favoritism for the local
concern.

ing that the Topeka firm be given the
contract on account of home labor and

in before the law took effect and only
a small number have come in within
the last few days. The law was pub
lished Wednesday but before that the
corporations began filing their reports.
One promoter with fake scheme has
been driven from the state. He came
in yesterday and laid his proposition
before the bank commissioner. AflCi
looking it over the bank commissioner
held that the scheme was a fake sell
ing proposition and refused to give a
certificate. The promoter packed his
grip and left Topeka this morning.
The really reliable corporations that
have good projects in hand offer no OBJ
jections to the law and are willing to
file the reports. All corporations ex
cept banks and building and loan as
sociations and insurance companies are
required to make the reports to the
bank commissioner before they can sell
stock. The bank commissioner is to
examine these much in the same nan
ner as the insurance commissioner ex-
amines the insurance companies be-
fore he will give them a license to do
business in Kansas. There are heavy
penalties for not filing the reports and
prospectuses and securing a certifi-
cate from the bank commissioner be-
fore attempting to sell stocks or bonds.
The fine is from 5000 to $4,000 and in
prisonment for from one to ten vars

Discussing his plans Herr Brucker
said:
at was in February, 1909, that 1
first formed the intention of trying to
cross the Atlantic by airship. Meteor
ology has always been my favorite
pursuit, and it was not long before I
decided that Columbus route should
be as far as possible my route.

A force pump which can be work ed
by the engineer with one hand drives
water up a tube to the top of the bal
loon. where the tube separates into
two narrower tubes which lie along
the ridge of the balloons, and are pro-
vided with fine sprays, so that the
whole upper surface can be kept
moist.
on the route Herr Brucker intends
to take he does not expect to en-
counter any head winds. thunder

cane season does not begin until June
and ends by November. He counts on
a wind averaging from seven to eight
meters a second in his favor, and if

seven to eight meters a second of its
own it will traverse the distance from

In connection with the expedition
Herr Brucker is about to arrange an

spectively, of the American Federation

The court unanimously held that the
only sentence that could be imposed
upon the labor leaders were fines. In
SO holding, the Supreme Court of the
United States found that the Court of
Appeals of the District of Column bia
and the Supreme Court OF the District
erred in treating the contempt pro-
ceedings as criminal case and not a
civil one. The effect of holding the
proceedings civil one was to make
Jail sentence impossible. Hence the
Jail sentence had to be set aside.
To correct the error the case was sent
back to the local courts, with directions
that it be dismissed. At the same time
the court expressly made it possible
for civil proceedings to be instituted
against the labor men by the Bucks

Is Her Confessie n
an Expiration !?

TN last desperate attempt to- save
! man accused Of the murder OF
his wife from life Imprisonment, to
which he was sentenced by the court,
Mrs. Anita Schmidt, Of st. Louis, has
sent out a public confession that the
night on which the woman was muir
dered the man In question was with
her.
Sacrificing the respect Of friends and
neighbors, blasting her own good
name and her future. she has sent her
appeal to the supreme court to save
the man, counting upon her husbands
forgiveness, since the whole affair
took place when she was for time
separated from him.
But even the tale Of dishonor which
the woman has told to the lawyers;
even the affidavits as to the time and
place and the bringing forward OF
witnesses, seem likely to prove that
the physician now In jail did go home
before dawn, and told conflicting stor-
les of that occurrence thereafter.
He explains his efforts by the de-
claration that he was endeavoring to
shield Mrs. Schmidt. and SO the dual
sacrifice has been made and the legal
aspects of the case muddled by "hon-
Or"
The mans part, his acQuiescence In
the trial and sentence to shield the
woman, is very big and fine If it was
sincere, and the world will pay him
homage for it; but the woman-was
she right or wrong to confess her part
in the tragedy of that night, in what
she knew might be . vain effort to
save him, since she told the same
story six months before to the trial
Judge, and it did not keep the man
from conviction?
Had she the right to blast her own
name, to bring notor1ety and shame
upon herself, her own family and her
husbands family, to save a man from
punishment for a deed that she does
not actually know he did not COM
NIT?
Should her thoughts have been Of
him or OF those near and dear to her,
upon whom her story would bring
grief and shame and the added bur-
den of sharing her guilt? These are
the questions that remain unanswer-
ed, despited the columns In the daily
news about the extraordinary story.
If her confession brings about the
freedom OF the accused man she may
go back to her home and hide her
shame behind the thankfulness that
she has paid the debt for her sin.
But if she does not succeed-if after
all it is proved by the law that the
man returning home from her side,
murdered his wife-what will she have
gained? Will she then think the con-
fession worth while?
These are questions that only wo-
men searching deep within their souls
can answer: Which do you think is
the greater expiation-to have told or
to have kept silence7 The suffering
Of the one man, or the suffering of
those bound to her by the closest ties
Of nature and love?

GARDENING TOOLS
FOR THE AMATEUR
Proper Implements Are
Real Necessity and Aid
TO Flower RaiSerS.

A S SOON as the lilac buds begin
n to burst into leaves the amateur
gardener knows that the ground Is
sufficiently free from frost to admit OF
Its being dug up and raked and pre-
pared for the tiny seeds which, wher
they grow into plants and burst into
bloom in the summer, will be source
Of Joy to her.
The woman to whom flower raising
is an untasted pleasure would do well
to first see that she had a proper
stock of gardening implements, and
she should keep these in a special
closet or devote one corner of The
cellar or shed to them.
A couple of trowels of different
sizes are absolute necessities, as are
a rake and a lightweight spade. Ii
she is going to plant kitchen garden
q hoe should be added to these.
A supply of strong, slender STAKES,
from foot and half to three feet,
should be laid in and some strong
cord When lacks and hammer are
needed, which they will be in the
case of planting sweet peas or other
running plants, these may be borrow
ed from the kitchen.
Another useful implement is pair
of stout shears, and, most important
of all, when the summer sun thirsttly
drinks I'D all the moisture in the
ground, is the watering pot, which
should be equipped with several noz-
zles, with varying sizes of perfora-
tons. And pair of gardening gloves
might be added to these other tools.
But it is most important that these
should be religiously kept In their
own corner, and as soon as one days
gardening has been finished the earth
clinging to them scraped off and each
implement put in its proper place.
