Sudden Calm Alone Saved
Vessel from Destruc-
ton Tuesday.

Representatives Of the United Fruit
Company in this city and the wreckers Of
the Merritt Chapman Wrecking Company
a. work upon the steamship Turrialta
were not pleased 10 receive from the local
weather bureau yesterday a report Ct
approaching storms from the northeast.
The Turrialba, which went aground In
blizzard on the Brgantine Shoals at 1855
a m. Tuesday. was moved by the wreck
ers yesterday a distance of fifteen feet
Two kedge anchors were dropped well aft
of the tiisnantled stern and by the aid
of these and stout cables on her after
winches the vessel was moved slightly
into deeper water.
1t was learned from a representative Of
the United Fruit Company on board the
Seneca on Wednesday night that the sud
den quoting Of the wind on Tuesday
night saved the Turrialba from destruc-
ton Had the gale continued for six or
seven hours more she would have sprung
aleak. it is thought, and then all chance
Of salving her would be futile.
The wreckers hoped to get her off the
shoal before another storm should come,
but their efforts yesterday were rewarded
by move Of only fifteen feet. The work
of Tightening her cargo made progress yes

night issued the following bulletin:

\ stiff northeaster would blow the Tur-
rialba further inshore. The Tightening of
her cargo would lift the ship higher out Of
the water and allow more surface to the
gale.

cally no sleep since Monday night. sent a

Office Of the company. saying that the yes

BABY NOT REFUSED
Orphans Home Story Denied by Presi-
dent of Institution.

The ladies of the Topeka Orphans
home desire to make some explanation
as to the article that appeared in the
Sunday Capital about a baby that was
brought there and refused admission.
The mother of the girl came to the
home about ten days ago with her
baby. She was asked why she did not
put her baby in an Oklahoma home,
as We have no right to take babies
from another state our state and
county appropriations being too small
to justify it. She said she was coming
to Topeka to live and we told her
that in that case we would try to help
her. She asked what our charge for
board for the baby would be, and we
told her whatever she could spare out
of her wages, or we would take the
baby free if she was going to make
her home here. She came back later
and wanted position as nurse. AS
we alread had one nurse we could not
give her that place. She was offered
work in the kitchen, where she could
be near her baby every day. We gave
her her dinner and kept the baby all
day. but she refused to work in our
kitchen and said she had found work
elsewhere.
Our home is ready and willing to
help people of our own state at all
times, but we would be doing an in
justice to our home babies to take
those from another state. We think
the writer of the article above men
toned would have been glad to put
the matter in the right light had he
interviewed us personally and secured
the true state of the affair.

day paid to Shawnee county $2,O5s.75
as the county's share of the earnings of
the office after paying all expenses as
provided by law An application was
made to the BOARD to meet one-half of
the postage expense. but the board re-
fused to grant this claim.
In the offices of the county clerk,
county attorney and their own offices,
the co atty pays the postage bills. But
the law makes no provisions for the
register of deeds postage account and
he is compelled to meet this expense
from his own earnings. Last year the
postage bill for the office aggregated
$116.
The registers report showed the fol-
lowing net business: First quarter, 81
112.50: second quarter, S2,194.15; third
quarter 81, S62.6O; fourth quarter ST.,
93s. 25. This aggregated $8,107.50, from
which was deducted $1,000 as registers

Col. Guffey hurled the charge of
liar at Congressman A Mitchell
Palmer, who is contesting his seat. The
latter replied that he had spoken the
truth and that only Guffey's age pre-
vented him from making a personal
matter of the affair.
Mr.. Palmer had freely charged in his
speech to the committee that Col. Guffey
had affiliated with Senator Penrose, the
Republican leader of Pennsylvania and
that he had been disloyal to his party.
Mr.. Bryan took up the argum ent in Mr..
Palmer's behalf. He declared that he
had thrice been the candidate of his party
for the presidency and that many mil
lions of the people had expressed their
confidence in him.
If the national committee declined TO
listen to him he would appeal to the peo-
pie he said.
The private secretary of Senator Cum
Minis, one of the Republican insurgent
leaders, was at the hotel where the COM
