ROOSEVELT men
STAY ON TICKET
Kansas Progressives Win Their Fight
Over Place on Ballot.
TAFT MEN DID NOT BOLT COUNCIL
Meeting Of Republicans at Topeka
Was Full Of Fight-One on
Verge of Sepa-
ton.

Topeka, Aug. 28.-By vote Of 80
to 62 the Republican party council
here voted to place the Roosevelt
electors on the Republican ticket, de-
feating the Taft men in their effort to
place Taft's name on tie ticket.
The vote means that there probably
will be no third party ticket in Kan
sas. The Roosevelt men made their
fight upon the issue to support Roose-
welt as their candidate on the Repub-
lican ticket and the Taft men did not
bolt the party council but many of
them declared they would not sup
port the Republican state and national
ticket.
Full Of Fight.
Many Progressives voted to keep
the Roosevelt electors off the ticket
because they wanted a third party
ticket, but these Progressives say
they will now support the Roosevelt
ticket and make no effort to place a
third ticket in the field.
The Republican party council was
full of fight and riot during the great
er part of the session, and on the
verge of separation.
The big fight was over the motion
of the Taft men to repudiate the &C.
ton of the primary election August 6
and remove the Roosevelt electors
from the ticket, naming in their stead
the Taft electors who were defeated
by an overwhelming majority of the
Republican voters of the state.
Robert Stone of Topeka, who intro
duced the motion to remove the
Roosevelt electors, declared that he
intended to vote for Roosevelt, but
made a speech defending the Taft
men and the Chicago convention.
Defends Taft Men.
He declared that the Roosevelt
forces We're dishonest in their attempt
to disfranchise the Taft voters, and
said that the big majority for Roose-
welt in the state at the primary was
nothing more than an Endorsement of
the Kansas delegation at Chicago in
refusing to vote for Taft for the nomi-
nation.
Gov. Stubs demanded to know why
anyone should think that eight cleo
tors with $4,000 votes should get off
the ballot and let eight men who had
only 41.000 votes have their places.
"You never voted until you were 40
years DID," said some one.
There never was a more Infamous
lie told than that one" said the gov
ernor. II never realized my RESPONSE
bilities and duties until was 40 years
old, but never neglected them since.
and have been trying to make up ever
since"

CHURCHMEN OWN
GAMBLING HOUSES
New York Investigation Shows List
Of Owners.
PROMINENT MEN IMPLICATED
As Inquiry Proceeds Big Charitable
institutions, Also, Are Shown to
Benefit From Earnings
of Vice.

New York. Aug. 2S.-Police Com
missioner Waldo made public a list of
places raided by the police as gam
bling houses and the names of owners
of the property on which the resorts
were conducted Among the names
are those of many we'll known in the
financial, religious and social life of
the city.
The commissioner turned the list
over TO the district attorney, who will
use it as basis of the proposed John
Doe proceedings before Justice Golf
next month, by which it is expected to
expose police corruption. Another
list containing the names of owners Of
rooming houses raided during the
same period, June 1, 1911, to August
I, 1912, is being prepared by Commits
sioner Waldo for the same purpose.
400 Places Named.
Nearly 400 places are mentioned in
the gambling list, which, with the
statistics as to the raids made upon
them, covers 100 typewriter pages.
The summoning of many Of these
overs as witnesses at the proceedings
is understood to be part of the plan
OF the district attorney in order to
determine the responsibility Of the
owners in allowing their property to
be rented for gambling purposes,
which is misdemeanor.
Prominent Methodists Too.
Among the names of the owners is
that of Sailors Snug Harbor, a
wealthy charitable institution on
Staten Island, the Lorrillard estate,
that of the Lorrillard family of mil
lionaire tobacco manufacturers and
]. Edgar Leaycraft, and Edgar c.
Leaycraft, both prominent in Meth
odist church and missionary work.
A notable feature of the list is the
comparatively few number of convic-
tons which followed the arrests made
at the raids, large majority of the
prisoners having been discharged
either by the court or the grand jury.
In view of testimony brought out be-
fore the grand jury investigation the
graft feature of the Rosenthal murder
case, that the police often weakened
their evidence against gamblers who
had come across" after they had been
raided, it is expected that the district
attorney will investigate the reason
for the few convictions.

STOPS SUNDAY MAIL DELIVERY
NEW POSTAL RULING CAUSES
PROTEST..
Even Patrons Having Lock Boxes
Must Wait Till Monday to Get
Their Letters.

Washington, Aug. 2S.-What at first
seemed an innocent and inoffensive
amendment to the postoffice apropria-
ton bill, which was put in by Minor.
ity Leader Mann of Illinois. has
caused a general protest from all
parts of the country.
The amendment provides that all
first and second class postoffices, and
also those of smaller towns, shall be
closed from 12 o'clock midnight every
Saturday until midnight Sunday. The
provision is so drastic in its nature
that not even patrons of the post
offices who have lock boxes will be al
lowed to get their mail.
At the office of the, bird assistant
postmaster general it was stated
papers sent out on Sunday morning
will remain in the office until Monday.
No exception is made in any class OF
mail except that bearing special de-
livery stamp.
The postoffice appropriation bill is
already law, the President having af-
fixed his signature to the measure,
and the postoffice officials have al
ready mailed thousands of letters di-
recting that the postoffices be closed
every week from midnight Saturday
until the same hour Sunday night.
Perhaps the greatest inconvenience
wrought by the bill will be upon the
publishers and subscribers of news

Fire at Coney Island.

was injured. A dozen streams OF
water confined the loss to few thou
sand dollars.

R~roomhaII's Report.

Liverpool, Feb. 14.-There was some
further realizing at the opening this
morning by the same class Of sellers
who Influenced the trading yesterday
and prices were unchanged to q low
err than yesterday with pressure in
May. This profit taking was encourag-
ed by the lower American cables, and
cheaper plate offers with a closing
heaviness in March wheat at Buenos
Ayres. Following the opening shorts
covered and prices advanced Il to n
with offers light. The advance was
due to the frmness and scarcity of
holders of March on the small stocks
here and the improved demand from
millers. It is believed that a large
demand from the continent will soon
develop. At 1880 p. m. the market was
firm with prices u to Y up from the
low and unchanged to II higher than
yesterday. Corn opened unchanged and
later eased n on the lower American
cables and quiet spot demand with a
small inquiry for parcels.

Chicago. Feb. 14.-Wheat has had a
break of 8 cents from the high point
of last week, the largest eclin OF
late. Weak longs have been shaken
out and there was less long stun held
by commission houses and local pro-
f~essionals last night then for n time
In the last three weeks. While there
has been some increase in the short in
terest on the part of a few local pro
fessionals, it is not large as compared
with that of a few weeks ago. The
technical is regarded as more favorable
to the bulls, as few have any long
wheat. House, who have been bearish,
said the market was well sold out and
In good shape for a reaction should
cables come higher today. Bears, how
ever, said that rallies would likely be
only temporary until there was a bet
ter cash demand and smaller receipts
to help the bulls to any extent. Corn
has had break enough as viewed by
numerous professionals and commits
sion houses who have been bearish for
a. few days. A number of the big longs
went out Of their holdings early yes
terday while others held on, believing
that the turning point is near at hand,
and prefer buying on any further break
on the belief that corr is worth the
money. Inter Ocean.

EDWARDS REFLECTED
Again superintendent Of MoOrhead City
Schools at Salary of $1,000
a Year.

For the third time, the board of
education of Moorhead, at a regular
meeting held last evening, reelected
H. B. Edwards as superintendent of
the public schools. The salary was fix
ed at an even $4,000 a year, a slight
advance over last year. The election of
Mr.. Edwards was unanimous, which re-
fleets the fact that the board and the
superintendent are perfectly In accord
as to the policy used in the manage
ment of the city school. The other
business before the board was merely
of a routine nature.
In due course Superintendent Ed
wards will prepare his list for the
teaching force for next rear and when
it is ready he will report it to the board
for its action.
