THAT SAYVILLE TOWER
A German Wireless Plant Estab-
Iished on Long Island.

Washington, Aug. 10.-The depart
ment of commerce and labor's report
regarding the Telfunken wireless
tower at Sayville, L. l., declares that it
is backed by German capitalists that
Iall of the apparatus is of German
manufacture and that the large set of
Instruments is intended to work with
the wireless station at Nauen, 3,4OO
miles away
Officials of neither the state nor
navy department had any comment to
make as to the probable attitude of
this government toward the affair in
view of the senate's recent Lodge
resolution, which declared the United
States would regard with grave con-
Germ any acquisition of territory of
strategic value on the American con-
tinent by any interests which might
be under foreign influence. The off
cial report of the investigation of the
Sayvflle station says it will be the
property of the Atlantic Communica-
ton company of New York 1t will
occupy 100 acres adjoining the Long
Island railroad and will have a double
set of instruments. The towers are
to be 393 and 100 feet high, respec-
lively.
Commissioner of Navigation Cham
berlatn, whose bureau is vested with
the Jurisdiction over radio communi-
cation affecting navigation, said he did
not regard the Sayville station as like

TAFT WILL SIGN IT.
But the Panama Canal Bill Does Not
Meet With Entire Approval.

Washington, Aug. 1O.-President
Taft told several callers today that he
expected to sign the Panama canal
bill passed by the senate yesterday.
carrying provisions against the, use of
the canal by railroad-owned- ships
and granting free tolls to American
vessels. The president is said to have
declared that some of the provisions
of the measure did not meet with his
views entirely, but that he expected
to approve it. Railroad and legal eX-
perts in congress hold the view that
the senate had authorized a highly
important extension of the power of
the interstate commerce commission
in adopting the Bourne amendment
to the Panama canal bill.
The provision would authorize the
commission to divorce competing rail-
roads and steamship lines wherever
they were found to operate to the
detriment of the public and would
extendh powers of regulation over wa
ter routes Such control has long
been desired by the commission, but
the water lines have never conceded
the right of the commission to super
wise their business or their relations
with the railroads. Little difficulty is
anticipated in reconciling the differ
ences between the senate and the
house on the bill

WORKING ON BUDGET.
Commissioners Hold Their Session
Behind Closed Doors.

Late this afternoon the board of city
commissioners was in executive session
at the city hall in an attempt to lower
the city budget for 1918. The motor
iety preceding the meeting, caused the
commission to turn the lock in the
mayors private rooms-and the pre-
dicted row between the commissioners
was held from the public.
All day the commissioners have
been whiting the budget trying to
reduce the levy to 6.5 mills. Commits
sioners Bone and Tandy declare it will
go down to that figure. Commissioner
Stotts and Mayor Billiard do not believe
it will go below mills.
One thing is positive-the budget for
1913 will produce a levy at least one
mill below the estimate for 1912-and
the taxpayers will reap the benefits.
The commissioners will announce
the result of the days work after the
adjournment this evening

Mrs German left her home and
family in Wichita June 5 and was in
Topeka a short time later. Detective
German came to Topeka and learned
that she had attended meetings of the
Salvation Army a few days before he
came here but that was the last in
formation that he could find.
She is described 20 be about five

crown of the hat. She wore black

ISSUED AN ULTIMATUM
Roosevelt Tells How He Settled the
Negro Delegates Question.

Oyster Bay. Aug. 1O.-How near the
Progressive party came to a break at
its first national convention was told
today by Colonel Roosevelt. The ne
gro question, he said, created a breach
which threatened to make serious
trouble. The disa greement. said Colo
mel Roosevelt, was due largely to the
fact that some of the northern dele
gates who were genuinely anxious to
help the negro in the south did not I'M
derstand how to do it. They told the
colonel that by refusing to give the
southern blacks representation he was
treating them unfairly and that they
could not consent to such action.
Roosevelt's reply, he said, was to
point out to them the attitude of the
negro delegates in the Republican
convention and to say if they wished
to create these conditions within the
Progressive party they must do it
without him. In the face of this ulti-
maturh the colonel had his way and
he believes he succeeded in convincing
those who at first opposed him thai it
was the right WaV

MAY Be MORRISON.
He Is Said to Be Leading for Demo-
cratic Attorney General.

1t seems probable that 7. f. Morrf-
son, of Chanute, has been nominated
for attorney general by the Kansas
Democrats. Morrison, according to re-
ports, is leading in a four cornered
fight for the nomination. Senator Fred
L. Robertson, of Rawlins, is probably
Nc PRISONS only serious contender for
the nomination.
In Neosho, Morrison's home county,
he had 700 majority, carried Allen,
where his name appeared fourth on the
list; and carried Labette. the home of
". S. Hyatt, a competitor for the NOM
ination. 1t seems probable that Morri-
sor has carried most of the counties
in the Second, Third and Fourth dis
tricts and probably has an even break
in the First and Eighth. Robertson's
greatest strength is in the western
Kansas counties, where the vote was
not heavy, but where the Rawlins man
is extremely popular. 1t is believed, by
persons watching the contest. that the
race between Morrison and Robertson
will be close.

A travelling man with a good income,
well hammered and claiming to be a good
fellow, wants to trade a life interest in
all his good and bad qualifications with
some woman with similar qualifications
In other words, he is lonesome and wants
a wife He is withholding his name but
has appealed to A. K. Rodgers. the post
master, to help him find soul mate. lie
forwarded the appeal to Mr.. Rodgers in d
letter from the National hotel in Topeka.
Mr.. Rodgers, the postmaster, is willing
to help any person who is in need. Some
need one thing and some need another.
When he finds one who is lonesome and
seeking a soul mate. he believes that he
can give assistance with some success
He received the appeal and decided to ask
the State Journal to help him in relieving
the lonesome man, who, if what he says
is true will no doubt make some lone
some woman happy. The letter follows:-

an even temper and do not know how to
say a cross or angry word to such wom-
