SEEK GRAUL RELATIVES
No Trace of Dead Woman's Friends
Have Been Found.

Judge Schoch is looking for rela-
tives of Marie Graul, who died last
week in the OsawatOmie asylum so
far as the records of the local probate
court show there are no relatives
whom the court may notify of the
Woman's death
Twenty years ago the woman was
sent to the Topeka asylum. Later she
vas transferred to the Bedwell sani-
tarfum. In 1903, she was taken to
the Osawatomie asylum.
In 1892. when the record was
made, insanity cases were tried before
a Jury. In those days no record was
made of relatives of insane patients
who could be notified in case of
death. Since that time the records
have been improved. But occasional
" the local court confronts an in
stance similar to that of the death of
the Graul woman.

Il. R. GOES BACK
Digs Up Another Letter He
Wrote in January.
Shows He Had Always Refused
to Tie His Hands.

New York, March 5.-To clear ur
| conflicting statements as to what he
/ had said in the past regarding the
| presidential nomination Theodore
| Roosevelt today made public letter
| which he wrote last January to Frank
! A. Munsey, the publisher.
! Mr. Roosevelt's object in giving out
| the communication he said, was to re-
| flute the charge that he was breaking
| a promise in agreeing to accept the
nomination if it were offered to him.
He called particular attention to a
passage in the letter in which while
stating that he would not be a can
didate he declared he would not go on
record as being unwilling to accept
the nomination.
ITO every man I talked to-" said
Mr.. Roosevelt, Il made in substance
that same statement and I made it in
hundreds of letters"
The Munsey Letter.
The portion of the Munsey letter to
which he called particular attention
follows:
What 1 have said to you, and am
about to say to you, I have for in
who think I ought to be nominated,
but to friends (and even foes) who
think I ought not to be nominated,
provided only [ could trust their sim
cerity, intelligence and truthfulness.
For instance, [ have said the same

who are supporting Taft; to Mr.. Pin
chot and to Congressman Lenroot and
Kent, who are supporting LaFollette
have said that to editors like Mi
Nelson Mr.. Van Valkenburg and Mr.
Wright; I practically said that to the
entire AIdine cIub-Democrats, Repub-
licans, every one.
Would Not Tie His Hands.
"T am not and shall not be a can
didate shall not seek the nomlna-
ton nor would I accept 1t II II came
to me as the result of an intrigue. but
I will not tie my hands by statement
which would make it difficult or I'M
possible for me to serve the pubic by
undertaking great task II the peoPle
as a whole seemed definitely to come
to the conclusion that 1 ought TO 90
that task In other words, as far as
in me lies, [ am endeavoring to look
at this matter purely from the stand-
point of the public interest, OF the IN
terest of the people as whole, ana
not in the least from my own stand
point. ,-,,
pleasure and interests L should most
emphatically and imm ed1ately an
stances run have had all the hon
or that any man can have from holo-
ing the office of president. From eV-
cry personal standpoint, there is noth-
ing for me to gain either in running
fo1 tba office or in holding the Office
once more, and there is very much to
lose"
When Mr.. Roosevelt reached his edi-
torial office from oyster Bay today he
found several politicians waiting to see
him.

In regard to the Eighth district con-
gressional situation the unusual diff
dence of the red-headed congressman
on the presidential matter is causing
lots of comment. Jackson, Stubs and
White, the three great Kansas insur-
gents, are moving heaven and earth for
Roosevelt. But Murdoch, the fourth of
the Big Four of Kansas insurgency,
and as brave and aggressive, apparent
1y. as any of them, has been mild and
silent and retired on this burning
question. Think of it! Murdoch taking
a passive part. Is he for Roosevelt or
for Taft? That is the question that
the folks at home are asking them
selves. No one seems to know. Always
in the past, when any question of pros
gressive policy came up at Washington
AIurdock's name led all the rest on the
firing line and smoke of conflict But
ever since the Roosevelt agitation has
begun Murdoch has been deep under
cover. His appearance in the open air
and light is expected soon and awaited
with a great deal of interest.

THE KANSAS CITY GAS CASE
Topeka Man Calls Attention to the
Action There.

To the Editor of the State Journal:
January 13 Kansas City enjoined
collecting for inadequate gas service;
the contention being that the gas pres
sure did not give the consumers the
service they are paying for and the
consumers should be required to pay
only according to the quality of SER
vice they are getting. Judge Lucas.
presiding judge, decided in favor of
the city on February 16. March 3,
Federal Judge Van Nalkenburgh. to
whom the case was appealed, declared
that the state court had just as much
Jurisdiction as the federal court, which
means that if the people of Kansas
City get inefficient and inadequate gas
service full prices for gas consump-
ton can not be charged the consumers.
This information might be useful for
such persons as were subjected to the
Freezing out process of last week and
even yesterday.

The Hard. Hard Life OF The Mis-
szOzsary liza China, Japan
and Korea.

HOW many times have you had your feel
ings ploughed up and narrowed, by vivid
descriptions of the toll and privation of mis-
slonary work in the foreign field?
How many times has the preacher mopped
his eyes, until he got you to mop yours, as he
and you pictured to yourselves the forlOrn
condition Of those Distant expatriated devo-
tees!
[ used to think they waded around, amid
their troubles on bare feet--as the Apostles
did | used to think that they worked so
hard, and lived SO leanly, that few of them
tempted the appetite of the cannibals
But the beam IS out OF my eye, now. The
missionaries themselves removed it. One OF
them said something, while a guest at my
rambling old shack-which shack is bitterly
called "a palace by Dear Doctor Lovett.
My curiosity having been excited, [ began
to peruse missionary literature, papers, maya
zines, books, tracts, letters, ct ceteru.
What learned revolutionized my ideas
that subject; and | have, ever since, been
endeavoring to open the eyes of others, to
the eptravagaet folly Of the present METH
obs Of conducting foreign missions:
Two weeks ago, / desired to present to you
some pictures, taken from magazines devoted
to the present system. In going through the
press, these cuts were so badly blurred that
you could not know what was pictured. This
week, we will try it, again, with two other
cuts added.
The first Of these shows us a missionary
white lady, smiling blandly, broadly bewitch-
ingly. She is seated in chair which is
strapped to the back of man-apparently a
Korean. For the missionary lady to take her
pleasure-ride, in that manner, the man has to
stoop forward, in most uncomfortable angle
so much SO that he has to support himself
with stick. which YOU will see is orasped in
his right hand,
The poor fellow is smiling. I reckon he
was told to look pleasant

BOTH wREsTLeRs SHOW MARKS.
Bruised Cheeks and Partially slackened
Eyes Received by Each Man,

Both Yoltel and Miller, after the match.
looked more Ike two pugilists than two
wrestlers who had wrestled only two
bouts, one Of 80 minutes and 40 seconds
and the other ~ minutes.
Yokel had contusions on his cheeks:
whore Miller had butted him, and one OF
his eyes was slightly blackened,
Miller had almost precisely the same
marks on his face. II was ten minutes
after he reached the dressing room be-
fore he stopped his nose from bleeding.
Yokel merely smiled when asked about
the marks on his face, but Miller took
them more seriously
Miller. while fast and clever, seems TO
be lacking In determination and is more
sensitive to pain than Yokel. From the
start OF the match Miller was on the look
out TO prevent Yokel from getting any
paintul hold on him, Even when Yokel
went to his knees to lure Miller on. the
ST Paul wrestler backed away.
Miller started the rough tactics. but he
was the first TO grow tired OF them.
Yokel goes TO Richheld to wrestle
heavyweight Af that city Decoration day
Miller will return to st. Paul today
Miller got about $500 as his percentage
OF the receipts. and Yokel about $500:
Yokel however, was tipped" by several
big bettors. so he made altogether about
$1,000 for his nights work.
