CONVENTION JoIrINGs.

While the convention proper will
close this evening", there will be a
great convention entertainment of
song and story by the chorus of SOO''
under the leadership of Grant Colfax
Tullar- THE Shepherds Story will
be read, and will be illustrated by
song.
A number of the delegates to the
convention have taken advantage of
the Commercial clubs hospitality
Mrs. Jean E. Hobart presided over
conference of the elementary divi-
sion at o'clock this morning and
also meeting at noon in the First
Baptist church.
A. T. Peck presided over a meeting
of the adult division at O'Clock this
morning.
The departmental superintendents
met at 1880 this afternoon, the meet
ing being presided over by General
secretary ]. H. Engle. Addresses were
MADE by DR.. William A. Brown, Miss

A convention delegate picked up a
postcard picture of the state house at
the headquarters building and said to
a " AOIIy SIl OIHclatlng over the de-
partment: ''Is this the state house p,
Yes, was the reply. Say, is the
state house the same as the capitol? %
Yes, 81 thought so. L thought it
was the same angle.'
I am afraid said w. J. Ricken-l
bacher. president of the entertainments
committee, "a number of those who
called up to say they could provide
rooms for delegates are disappointed.
Through the influence of the State
Journal We were flooded the last min
ute by applications for delegates. Then
we ind that some of the delegates did
not go to the places to which they
were assigned"
The retiring president of the State
sunday School association, M. F.
Gabel, is something of a sportsman.
Autoing is his special delight. IN
coming to Topeka in a motor car he
drove so fast that his steering gear
was put out of commission and he
narrowly escaped a serious accident.
Secretary ]. H. Engle has been the
busiest man at the Auditorium in the
last three days. He does his work
quietly and is probably the most popu-
lar Sunday school worker.
A number of the delegates left for
their respective homes today. A small
percentage of them will stay over for
the entertainment by the big chorus
tomorrow night

.ENGLE STILL SECRETARY
Abilene Man Again selected to Look
After Sunday Schools.

]. H. Engle of Abilene who is probably
the most popular man actively engaged in
Sunday school work was this afternoon
again chosen as the secretary of the Kan
sas Sunday School association. Mr.. Engle
has been doing the heavy work of this as
Sociation for years.
Miss Maude A. Price of Wellington has
been chosen as missionary superintendent
for the association on full time. The
members of the executive committee feel
justly proud on account of the fact that
this is the creation of the first office of
the kind on the part of any similar or
ganization in the world, and they expect
day schools of other states will follow.
James H. Little was again selected as
chairman of the executive committee.

ROUND UP JOlNTISTS.
Campaign Against Crawford and Cher
OIIee Liquor Sellers Opens.

Governor Stubbs and the attorney
general started a cleanup in Crawford
and Cherokee counties this morning
and before the numerous attorneys re-
turn it is expected that the lid in those
metically sealed. John Dawson, attor-
ney general; w. P. Montgomery, as
sistant attorney general for Crawford
county; c.. w. Trickett. formerly as
sistant attorney general for Wyandotte
county, and Frank Lindsay, attorney
for the State Temperance union,
swooped down upon the jointists of
the two counties this morning, armed
with injunctions, contempt and crimi-
nal proceedings and other loaded guns
that are intended to put the jointists
out of business entirely in those two
counties.
In Cherokee and Crawford counties
there is large foreign mining popu-
lation and it has always been impoS
sible to clean the joints out, as there
is an exceptional demand for liquor
Different plans have been used, but
these have not been very effective.
The governor appointed c. w. Trick
ett as his special representative and
the attorney general decided to go
himself and superintend the work. w.
P. Montgomery has been an assistant
attorney general in Crawford county
for several months and has gathered
much of the material tc be used in the
campaign. The governor has vested
in Trickett and the attorney general
all the power of his Office in driving
out the joints.

president of the state association the
last year was called from Louisville,
KY. four years ago to take up the
work as state superintendent of Sun
day school work under the direction of
the Christian church. He is employed
by the Kansas Christian Missionary
society and has his headquarters in
Topeka. Since coming to Kansas he
has attained almost national promi-
nence because of the number of sue
cessful Bible school campaigns he has
co1drcted.

All records have been broken as re-
CARDS to attendance since the first an

ago, the registration up to 2 o'clock
this afternoon-2,4 ,400-having eclipsed
| that of the convention of 1909 held in
| Topeka two years ago by $50. The del
| egates, moreover will continue to reg
| lister until o'clock this evening. Last
year at Kansas City, Kan, the total
| figure was 2,090.
The enthusiasm of the convention has
| also been unprecedented. With ease
| last night $422.50 was raised in con-
| nection with a free will offering for
the work of the newly organized Sun
day School organization with headquar-
tiers in Manila in the Philippines. Today
at a hotel breakfast table the amount
was increased to $500.

MUST PAY 1T BACK.
Kansas Railroads Must Refund Money
to Kansas Jobbers.

The Kansas railroads are going TO
have to refund a lot of money to JOB
bers and manufacturers and they may
have lot of lawsuits over the return
of this money, on account of the ordet
issued this morning by the board OF
railroad commissioners. The board has
decided that the rate on returned
goods, accorded to jobbers for years,
which the railroads cancelled in Jan
uary, was not cancelled according TO
law and the new and higher rate was
not in effect. While the board did not
say so in that many words the order
means that the shippers can collect
from the railroads the amounts of ex-
cess freight paid from January 81 to
today and that the new rate should not
go into effect until after hearing be-
fore the board. The railroads have
made an application to change the rate.
For many years jobbers and shippers
have had a rate which permitted tha
return of damaged OF unstable goods
to them at one-half the original rate
If a jobber shipped threshing machine
to any point in Kansas and it was dam
aged in transit and had to be repaired
it came back at one-half the amount
paid for the original shipment. The
Kansas law provides that no rate can
be increased without the consent Of the
railroad board. The railroads cancelled
the rate January 81 and without this
consent. The board did not discover
the change until two or three weeks
ago and it then ordered the railroads
to show cause why the rate should not
be put back to it's original basis. The
railroads did not make the showing re-
quired SO the board ordered the new
rate abolished and the railroads then
filed an application for permission to
make the change, which increases the
rate 80 per cent. This application will
be heard shortly. But the board order
ed that the old rate should be rein
stated from the date of it's cancellation
January 81, and the shippers will thus
be able to collect the amounts of freight
charges they paid in excess of the old
rate since that date.

The Sunday School association hopes
to do something that no similar organ
ization in the work has ever done, and
that is to employ a state missionary
superintendent who will work under the
association on full time. 1t was esti-
mated that the expense of employing
such representative would be $500.
A. A. Hyde of Wichita has agreed to
pay half that amount and today an
other $3.50 was pledged, so the indica-
tions are that the ambition of the as
sociation to establish a precedent
among the state associations will ma
terialize.
Boys More Religious.

manifested by the audience of three
thousand delegates. That always
raises a grunt from some one," contin-
ued the speaker.
"Women's religion is more by intui-
ton. A woman never stops to seek the
reason. The life of womanhood is far
more open and transparent than that
