TO MAKE CAPITAL PAY
City viii Ask That Agents Get Ped
ding License.

The city license collector. G. t. Mat
tingly, supported by the mayor and board
of city commissioners, will Investigate at
once the actions of a Topeka newspaper
in sending out agents all over the city
selling carpet sweepers, etc, without a
license 1t is claimed that this newspaper
never has applied for a, license and never
has offered to remunerate the city for the
peddling it does on the city streets.
The law soys that goods not manufac-
tured in Kansas and peddled from door
to door shall be delivered only by a
licensed peddler. The Daily Capital has
agents working over the city selling
vacuum cleaners and other articles that
were not manufactured in Kansas and
the agents do not possess a city license
to carry on their work.
Peddlers of house furnishing goods OF
this class are supposed to pay the city a
license of $40 a day, $50 a month, 500 a
year when sold by a wagon or 81, S.. and
SIS sold on foot. The penalty is not less
than IS and not more than $500 for eacn
offense.
The city will start an investigation I'M

SHE WANTS ALIMONY.
Woman's Marriage Doesn't Pay Debt,
She Believes.

Because her husband has failed to
pay $50 a month alimony, as directed
by the court, Anna Pierce-Lyons-
Hagaman has asked James w Lyons,
her former husband, be cited for con-
tempt. According to Mrs. Lyons
Hagaman's figures, Lyons is short
some $500 ii his payments.
Mrs. Lyons was divorced from her
husband in July. 1909. because ne beat
and abused her In her petition she
said her husband threw her to the
floor with such force as to severely
wrench her knee. Judge Dana gave
the women a divorce and custody of
two minor children. Lyons is a trav-
cling salesman and earns about $3.50 a
month. So the court said he should
pay his wife $50 a month alimony IN
til the children attained their ma
jority.
Since the order was issued, Mrs
Lyons name has become Mrs. Haga-
man. The $50 a month judgment has
brought in but $500 in two and a half
years. Now the woman asks that her
former husband be punished for con-
tempt of court.

HORACE FOGEL ANGRY
Doesn't Like Dates-Murphy Trades
Graham for Recruits.

New York, Feb. 14-For the first
time since the two major leagues ex-
tended to each other the hand of fell
lowship, greater New York is to have
two real, rip roaring baseball open
ings on the inaugural day of the 1912
campaign. The National league
champ ion Giants are to begin the
years hostilities in Brooklyn the
same day the Yankees touch off the
first gun at the hill top.
National league magnates announc-
ed after the meeting that there was a
great deal of kicking over the draft.
Horace Fogel, of the Phillies and
Charles W. Murphy, of the Cubs, were
decidedly put out. 1t was the turn
of the Phillies to open at home in
1912, but the Athletics were given this
privilege for the second consecutive
time because of the fact that the Red
SOX'S new park will not be ready so
early in the season. The Boston Ma
tionals this season will open at home
for the second time straight in order
to keep the speed boys on the road.
Fogel quoted down when he was as
sured that the Philadelphia Nationals
would be allowed to open in the
Quaker City in both 1918 and 1914
Murphy was peeved because of the
fact that all the conflicts with the
American league fall to his city.
There are five of these-On May and
20; June % and September ] and 81
Murphy fears that the wallop1ng ad-
mfnistered to his Cubs by the Whlte
Sox last fall may hurt his chances on
these counter attractions
Jordan Is Not For Sale.
Charles w. Murphy and Horace
Fogel put through the first big trade
of the year. Chicago gave Catcher
Peaches Graham, for whom King
was traded, to the Phillies for Catch
er Carter and Pitcher Ward, raw
Quaker city recruits.

newed negotiations for First Base

FILE ANSWER
Another Chapter in Weir City School
of Mines Controversy.

The regents of the State university
have filed their answer in the supreme
court to the mandamus suit brought
them by a Weir City man to compel
them locate the school of mines there
as provided for by the last legislature
The answer merely questions the
right of the party to bring such a suit
IT does not give any explanation or
reason why the school has not been
established. It discusses the old Ques-
ton of Weir City having been de
clared an unfit place for such an in
stitution because of violations of the
prohibitory law. But Weir City has
cleaned up its premises since then.
The regents, in their reply, declare
that they have discussed the matter of
establishing the school but have not
vet determined what kind of a school
should be established or along what
lines they should proceed under the
rather vague provisions of the law
The appropriation for the school is
only $12,5OO.

HAD TWO TEST COSTS
Packers Used One for Records and
One for statesmen.

Chicago, Feb. 1.-THE govern
ment continued its inquiry into the
double test cost system of Armour &
Company in the packers trial in an
effort to show the alleged uniformity
of the selling basis used.
Bernard Remmer, price clerk in the
dressed carcass department of Armour
& Company, testified that Armour &
Company had two test costs. one the
actual cost which is used in the COM
pany's ledger. and the other the
memorandum cost. which is sent to
district superintendents and branch
house managers. THE mem orandum
cost is higher than the test cost, "
Remmer replied to a question.
George w. Anderson, salesman for
Armour &c Company at Evansville,
Ind, and formerly a clerk in the dress
ed beef department at Chicago, testi-
fed that he prepared weekly sum

beef and reports on the amount paid

FOR CURTIS And TAFT
w. A. Kearney, Prosperous Farmer,
Tells Where He Stands.

w. A Kearney, a successful farmer
from Tecumseh and who is said to be
one of the best political Projectors in
the state was in Topeka today both
on business and on a mission of poll
tics. Kearney does not hold a political
office and he is not aspiring to one-he
is too well fixed as a farmer-but tries
to keep in touch with all the moves on
the political board that he might retain
his reputation as a prognosticator.
Kearney predicts that Senator Curtis
viii be nominated for reelection.
Furthermore Kearney is a strong Taft
man. He has ideas about the manner
in which the county administration is
run, too, but he did not want to leave
town before tomorrow morning and he
did not give the State Journal his ideas.
"Stubbs is strong" Kearney admit
ted There are many things I like
about hinl-he is a fighter and goes
after things with all his might But he
has let his machine run down. He has
allowed it to get out of repair For
instance see how it broke down in the
Second and Seventh districts. Charlie
Curtis has made q good senator His
machine is well oiled and in good shape
He has staid in Washington and at
tended to business there. I am going
70 stand by MIN. believe he is a
worthy man for the office. He works
just as hard for the poor man as he
works for the rich-even though his
enemies say he stands for the corpora
tons and for the rich
Curtis always is with US here in
kansas-and he always viii be with
US in official capacity. He will be
nominated"
Speaking of President Taft and
the Roosevelt sentiment, Mr. Kearney
mad little sympathy for the Republican
VINO would vote for Roosevelt and
break up the party He said:
can see no reason why a Repub-
ncan could not vote for Taft He has
MADE good president. We have had
reasonably good times. We have gone
through a severe drouth. Every bus
mess man, farmer and Workingman ex-
pected a decrease in labor The farm
ers and bankers are on the best of
terms and never before were the farm
ers on such good terms with the rail-
roads as they are today
Ihis anti-Taft sentiment is only
revolution in the Republican party for
ofnces. The party was in the same
CONDITION twenty years ago. Taft is
victim OF circumstances. The support
ers OF Roosevelt seem to think that if
Iaft was reelected they would have no
power. They want to tear down what
they have helped build up.
Taft has settled the trust and cor
poratlon troubles. He has done more
than has been done in twenty years in
bringing about what the people have
wanted to bring the trusts to time.
What the Republican party wants is
leaders-such men as Charles F. Scott,
Ex-Governor Bailey and Ex-Governor
Hoeh, men who stand on a principle
and d., men who stand by Taft.
The flag Will wave over Taft's rec
ord when he is gone
Il am proud of the young men of
the Kansas Day club. Ralph Faxon
IS bright young man with a bright
future. All of the speeches made BY
the young men that night were excel
lent They showed the spirit.
we must get together and re-elect
Taft. He IS the only Republican who
clothes now"

FIGHT FANS WILD
Two Special Trains to See Me-
FarIand-Murphy Bout.
Packey Not Confident-S6O,-
900 to Change Hands.

Chicago. Feb. 14.-Chicago and the
nearby towns have gone mad, pugi-
l1st1ca - speaking, over the McFar-
land-Murphy clash at South Bend to-
night and when the lightweights step
from Their corners at the sound of the
gong to open hostilities it is certain
that 100000 will await the exchange
of hands.
With the possible exceptions of the
Jeffries-J ohnson battle and the Mel
son-Wolgast affair. no ring contest has
caused such stir in betting circles
as has this clash. Odds still stand 10
to with Packey favorite-
Both lads are fit. Packey has
slight shade in points of condition in
this being the only thing lacking in the
Murphy makeup. A man can train
himself into great shape, but nothing
puts on such edge as a real fight
Confidence is strong in both camps
and neither can see how anything but
victory will be his reward. Packey
before leaving for South Bend said:
Packey Is Not Sure.
IF there is anybody among this
vast crowd of fight fans who expects
ing to be disappointed / am gong
to try for such an ending, that is sure,
but 1 doubt if can put it over in the
ten rounds. I am not Boosting OF the
trimming am going to give my OPP
ponent or anything like that. l am
going into the ring tonight to give
forth my best effort and my manager
and friends believe that my best will
bring me out the victor.
Il have fought through eight years
of the game and still stand undefeat-
ed. My time, like the time of those
gone before, will surely come. but
don't think it is to come tonight. Aside
from my bad eye / am at best and /
have nothing to fear. I realize that
Murphy is a tough fellow but he isn't
up to my standard. All I hope is that
the fans who see the mill will witness
a battle that they will long remember
Murphy speaks in more positive
terms He says:
The ambition of my life comes to-
night, that clash with Packey McF'ar-
land, ana after the curtain is run down
a new lightweight star will shine. l
am as sure that l can beat Mcfarland
as / am that 1 go to South Bend to-
day. In points of speed and clever
ness he hasn't much on me and ms
punch is nothing that will bother me- [
can tear into him and take two. yes,
three, to land one and that one Will
hurt The world knows that McFat-
land won't stand to be stung. The
only chance Packey has to avoid dc
feat is TO make a marathon affair of
it.
"It wouldn't surprise me a bit to have
Paclxey lose on a foul. If he sees that
he is getting hurt or beaten. he will
hit lew to cave disgrace. My friends
tell me he has planned such things be-
fore. 1 hope nothing like that hap
pens
