MOORE BUYS AN oUTETELDER
Compton of Cincinnati the Last Acqui
SitiOu,

Manager Moore of the Topeka base
ball team last night closed a deal with
the Cincinnati National league club for
Outfielder Crompton. Cincinnati got
the player last fall from Jamestown,
Pa. Not finding a place for him they
wanted to get rid of him before spring
training opened up.
Moore was able to get a line on the
outfielder from several sources and de-
clares him to be a good man. Whether
he will hold down a place in the West
ern depends altogether upon his show
ing. That he can take the vacancy
which it was hoped Viola would fill, is
doubted

Isben would sen Hughes.

Wichita, Kan, Feb. 17.-Manager
Isbell has offered George Hughes, the
veteran second baseman of the Job
bers to either the ST. Joseph or Sioux
City clubs in exchange for Fox or
Andreas. The offer came as a sur
prise to local fans For Hughes is a
favorite here and is regarded around
the Western league circuit as one of
the headiest players in the league. He
was drafted last fall by the Pittsburg
Nationals but the draft was not al
lowed. Isbell wants more speed in his
team this season and Hughes is trifie

Both sat silent, striving to figure
out some reasonable explanation
DO you know of any special papers
your father carried?" he asked.
No; none outside his business
agreements.
Has any one ever disappeared con-
nected with your family? Did you
have an older sister,"
Fred and were the only children.
Why should you ask that question:"
Because something of that nature
would seem to be the only rational ex-
PLANTATION. Your brother must have
told Hawley something-some family
secret-which he felt could be utilized
to his own advantage. Then he saw
your picture, and was Immediately re-
minded of the remarkable resem-
blance between you and Christie
Maclaire. Evidently this discovery
fitted into his plan. and made it pos
sible for him to proceed. He has been
trying ever since to get an interview
with the woman, to sound her, and
find out what he can do with her. He
has written letters sufficiently ex-
plicit to make it clear his scheme Is
based upon will drawn, as he claims,
by Christie's grandfather. No doubt
by this time he has fully convinced
the girl that she is the rightful heiress
to property-as he stated to Scott
valued at over million dollars. That's
a stake worth fighting for, and these
two will make a hard combination.

TAFT TERMINATES

President Feared Tone Of Res oiu-
tons Might Cause Serious Break
New Treaty With More Modern
Conditions Is invited.

Washington, d. president TAFT
has turned over to the senate the
task of completing the abrogation of
the treaty of 1882 with Russia be-
cause of alleged determinations
against American citizens of Jewish
faith. Ignoring the house of repre-
sentatives, the president sent a mes
sage to the senate announcing that
on Dec. % he had caused notice to
be forwarded to ST. Petersburg that
the United States desired the treaty
to end on Jan. /, 1913. Mr.. Taft
asked the senate to ratify and give
effect to his action.
In his message to the senate Presi-
dent Taft transmitted a copy of the
letter which American Ambassador
Guild at st. Petersburg, had trans
mltted to the Russian foreign office.
In it was expressed the view of the
United States that the old treaty no
longer met the political principles or
commercial needs of the two nations
and should be terminated The
American government, with marked
courtesy, suggested further that it
would be most agreeable to this
country If a new treaty, along more
modern lines, could be negotiated to
replace the ancient and outlived
document.

DISPUTE CENSUS BULLETIN
1t Contains No More Good Pub
lie land-Probe Proposed.

Washington.-The erroneous re-
port as to agricultural lands in Wis
cOnsin, sent out in a bulletin pre-
pared by the statistician of agricul-
ture Of the thirteenth census, will in
all probability become a subject for
congressional investigation John P.
Hume of the Wisconsin Advancement
association is in the city and the mat
ter was taken up at a conference of
the Wisconsin delegation 1t is
proposed to submit a resolution ask
ing the census bureau to submit in
formation on which it's report was
based
The report of the census bureau
says that Wisconsin has passed out
OF the class of states having a large
area Of land suitable for cultivation
and not SO utilized, when as a matter
OF fact there are some 100000
acres of undeveloped lands in the
state, 100000 acres of which can
be converted into farms. The report
further says that the land in the
southern part of the state is nearly
all suitable for farm purposes while
in the northern portion it is rough
and in a large measure has not thus
far been found available for farm
purposes. This latter statement has
no foundation, in fact, as the maps
and data submitted here in evidence
disclose that practically all of the
upper half of the state is good agri-
cultural land and is being rapidly de-
YelOped.

Army Post-Threat Sent
to Officers.

Fort Riley, KaE.-FoIlowing the ar
rest Of the Rev. c. N. Brewer, Mrs.
Anna Jordan and five soldiers, it
developed that for nine months fed
eral army officers at Fort Riley have
been fighting an alleged plot to de-

Fort Riley has been under more than
double guard and the homes of COM
missioned officers have been guarded

quartermaster's storehouse was entire
ly destroyed with a loss of $250.000.
Another fire on March 20 damaged the
cavalry ordnance building.
