awake UP, SAYS COOK
Gives Lincoln, Nebraska, Good Advice
About Fair.

The following is from the Lincoln, Neb.,
Daily News:
H. L. Cook, secretary of the Kansas
state fair board at Topeka, was at the
Commercial club this noon, and hearing
the discussion on the proposed opening
state fair grounds, said:
You people here in Lincoln seem to be
very slow to do anything for the one best
interest of Lincoln, with the exception of
the state university. Why, do you know
that the state fair annually brings to the
conventions held here throughout the ell
tire year? Do you know there were % per
cent more score cards sold in the grand
stand at the state fair grounds last year
than during the entire season at the base
ball park? Do you know that numbers of
desire to live in Lincoln from impressions
received while visiting state fair? DO
you know that patrons of the state ia r
left million and quarter of dollars
here last year?
'And what are you doing to help de-
nothing but furnishing the fair water
won't even give them decent road to get
to the grounds. You have paved street
to Antelope park and ten times more peo-
pie visit the fair grounds every year
Where is the building on the grounds &c
which the citizens Of Lincoln can pony at
and say-'That building is our contr1bu-
ton to one of our best industries?
Topeka points with pride to $4,000 or
improvements paid for by them on our
fair grounds and have paved streets 10
our grounds on both sides. why don
Won citizens of Lincoln wake up and help
the management who are straining every
EFFORT in your behalf to- anchor these
grounds so that they will be permanent
asset for your community?

OFFICERS EXCITED.
Claim Coroner Struggled Body of
Diphtheria Victim Out of Home.

Officials at the city hall today are
aroused and indignant at what they
consider one of the worst violations or
the quarantine law since the city has
printed che orders in the ordinance
books. In all probability a warrant
will be sworn out for the arrest of H.
w. Bomgardner, county coroner, who,
they claimed, smuggled the body of
child that had died of diphtheria. from
the home, past the quarantine guards
to his undertaking parlors on Jackson
street.
J. D. Pattison, city sanitary sergeant,
believes that Bomgardner carried the
body of the baby, from the home in a
suit case. Other city officials believe
he sent man in the back door while
door and procured the child in this
manner. All this is denied by Mr..
Bomgardner's associates.
The child was the one year old baby
of Mr.. and Mrs. Mckee, at 80 Kansas
avenue. The child died Monday after
noon. The city had quarantined the
home and at the death of the baby they
sent a guard, John Coyne, to the house
Immediately fearing that neighbors
would rush in and become exposed to
the disease.
The story told by the guard to the
city officials gives the facts in this
manner:
Coroner Bomgardner came to the
house after the death was reported and
carried in his hand a bag in which
the city health guards supposed were
the necessary tools and chemicals for
the preparation of the body for burial.
Before he went upstairs to the room
in which the body was kept he stopped
at the front door and talked with Coyne
about the case, the weather and other
minor subjects.
Then he entered the house.
Not long after he left the house by
the front door. In the meantime the.
guard saw no one enter the door he
was guarding. Bomgardner, he says
was carrying the same grip he carried
when he entered the door.
Sanitary Sergeant Pattison hearing of
the death, ordered City Fumigator Hill
to the home. Everything is supposed to
be fumigated before any action is ia
ken. To his surprise Hill found nc
child on the house. 1t had been re-
moved by someone, to the undertaking
parlors of the county coroner.
Coroner Bongardner was out of the
interviewed on the charges of the city
officials. At his Office, it was stated
that the baby was taken from the home
and every precaution was taken at the
undertaking parlors to guard against
a spread of the disease. Bomgardner's
Office men said that city health officers
knew of the action of the coroner in
taking the child away from the home
They declared that the quarantine law
was not broken.

HIGH CLUB TO PLAY.
Forensics Will Put on Double Farce
Bill Friday.

The Forensic club of the high school
will present two farces, "a Dramatic
Evening and "a Proposal Under Diff
ficulties,'' at the high school audito-
rum Friday night for the benefit of
the football team. For many years
the football team has had no uniform
and each player has had to furnish his
own suit. Consequently the team pre-
sents a rather dilapidated appearance
in the games. Some time ago Captain
Martin approached Mr.. Stout, the
principal, with a proposition to give
a play of some kind in order to raise
money to purchase suits for the team,
and this was granted. The Forensic
club offered to take charge of present
ing a farce, and their efforts will be
seen on Friday night. All money over
actual expenses will be turned over
to the athletic fund.
The farces are written by John
Kendrick Bangs, one of Americas
greatest humorists, and are warranted
to produce sixty laughs minute. The
persons who will have parts in "a
Dramatic Evening are Miss Kathryn
Albaugh, Miss Violet Crumbine, Mr..
Angelus Rurch, Mr.. Ralph Kingsley,
Mr. Edwin Menninger and Mr.. Abe
Gordon. The cast in the Proposal
Under Difficulties consists of Miss
Fern Mold, Miss Ruth Foster, Mr..
Frank Fable and Mr.. Charles Lyons.
The admission price for both farces is
25 cents

Otto Barth, the new president, has
served as advertising manager of
the Kansas Farmer since January,
1910. He came from Nebraska, where
he was engaged in the incubator bust
ness, having interests in several towns.
Il believe that the Ad club should
steer clear of speakers who have their
own horns to toot," said Mr.. Barth in
speaking of plans for the next year.
What we want is men who will tell
us how to increase our business. We
should get right down to business and
study advertising from a scientific
standpoint.
AN effort will be made to promote
home industries. The people should
know what is made in Topeka, and
the Commercial club is on the right
track in organizing Seeing Topeka
First excursions"
Delegates were chosen to represent
the Ad club at the national conven-
ton in Dallas May 20 and 81. Otto

Mechanics From Going to Work.

Mount Carmel, Pa, May 7.-Five hun
dred idle miners attended by a sprinkling
of women stopped a Reading railroad

HOT RACE AT COLLEGE.
Contest for Places on Review Staff Is
Exciting.

That the race for the editorship of
the Washburn Review this year will be
one of the most exciting for the past
several years is the general opinion OF
the students who are interested in the
election. There was no contest for this
position last year but this year there
are three men in the race for the place.
These members are all members of the
present junior class. Henry O'Brien
who is now editor of the paper is in
the race for the position next year. He
became editor this year on the resig-
nation of Nadia Gardiner of the Beta
Sorority who left school to go to Cali
fornia Ray Yarnell, the present local
editor and who has had considerable
newspaper experience, is the second
candidate and Ben Franklin, the pres
ent athletic editor, is the third candi-
date. All of the candidates are active
" engaged in the campaign and pol1tl-
cal interest is becoming paramount in
college circles. -.
AS yet there is no contest for the
nosition of local editor, Morris Sand
ers being the only candidate in the
field Mr.. Sanders served on the Re
view staff this year as exchange ed1-
tor There seems to be some doubt
as to the candidates for associate edI-
tor but it is understood that Karl Men
ninger and Miss Helen Shaver are out
for this position. Both of these can
didates served on the Review staff this
year and the contest will probably be
close.
Ralph Lemon and Sidney Nye are
in the race for manager. Both of these
men are popular and will make strong
race. The election this year will be
by secret ballot and the polls will be
open during a large part of the cleo
ton day. This is an innovation this
wear. The election will be held Thurs
day, May 16. and will be held at the
cnIIaere chanel.

TAFT IS NOT READY.
VIII Commit Himself on Woman SUR
frage After the Convention.

Cincinnati, May. Among the presi-
dents visitors today were Mrs. Ricketts,
Smell and Mrs. Sarah Falconer, repre-
senting the Twentieth Century club, two
of Cincinnatis most active suffragists.
The question of just what type Of
women were interested in the Ohio SUI
fraee campaign was put to them by the
president with much interest. The cluD
representatives told him that in Ohio the
movement had practically the same sort
of support that it had in California ana
other states where it had won.
The president said he could not probap.y
give his views on the question at this
time because he did not wish to exploit
anv advantage which might accrue
through seeking favor with the women
who form the suffrage movement but he
assured his callers that if they wrote him
after the Republican convention he would
give them his views on the question.

M. {. COURT OF APPEALS
Question of It's appointment Is Before
the Conference.

Minneapolis, May 7-Whether there
shall be formed another body of tho
Methodist church to be known as the
court of appeals was to be decided late
today. Practically the entire early ses-
sion of the general conference in session
here was given over to a discussion of
the report of the commission on judicial
procedure, which was appointed four
years ago.
The question of the establishment of
such an organization has been before the
general conferences of the church prac-
tically for a century.
The commission in its report to the con-
ference read today recommended the
establishment of such body with power
to hear and determine all appeals. As
planned the court is to consist of three
bishops six ministers and six laymen,
chosen by the general conference. TIE
general conference now has the power to
pass on all cases. The afternoon session
Of the conference was given over to work
of the women's Foreign Missionary So
ciety.

CHASE in SANITARIUM.
Serious Stomach Trouble Puts Star
First Stacker Out.

New York, May IA statement made
public here regarding the condition of
Hal Chase the star first baseman of
the New York Americans. shows that
he is in a sanitarium in this city, be-
ing treated for serious form of stom-
ach trouble. Hopes are still expressed,
however, that he will recover in short
time and rejoin the team.
Chase was taken i'll in Washington
last week and returned to his home in
this city. The fact that he contracted
smallpox in the south on the training
trip two years ago, gave rise to the
rumor that he again had the disease.
This rumor was promptly denied.

MANY MAY DIE
Lack of Boats Likely to Cause
Hundreds OF. Deaths.
Stories of Suffering in Flood
District Told.

New Orleans, May 7.-Unless boats
are hurried to the remote. sections OF
the inundated country in Pointe Coupee
parish it is feared hundreds of persons
will perish Word was received IN
Morganza this morning that great
numbers of people still are marooned
in the country south of the levee
breach at Torras. The lack of boats
is a distressing handicap. Stories OF
terrible suffering among flood refugees
reached here today.
Hundreds of people living in the back
country of Louisiana received no warn
ing of the flood until the angry tor
rents were upon them. They took
refuge in housetops and in trees ano
on RATS and now for several days they
have been without adequate food anu
shelter from the heavy rains.
People in the flood menaced districts
of New Orleans were cheered today by
bulletin issued by the weather ou-
reau which lowered it's previous est1-
mate of the maximum flood stage thaI
the crescent city must fight. The armS
of men working to strengthen the bikes
will not cease their vigilance however
The maximum stage forecast for Ration
Rouge and the intervening cities was
realized in the bulletin. The fight to
hold the midstate levees can not be
relaxed.
They Did Not Believe Warnings.
Scores of refugees who were brought
to Morganza in the relief boats early
today say there are hundreds more tic
be taken from their flood prisons. The
majority of these people lived so far
back in the country that couriers did
not reach them or in many instances
if they were warned they scoffed at the
advice ia leave.
The levees always have held" they
argued. ''Why should they not hold
now?'
One family brought to Morganza last
night has been for days without suffi-
cient food. When the flood came, the
head of the house rushed up stairs
with two small children and held
them on a mantel all night to keep
them above the rapidly rising waters.
At daylight the entire family took to
the roof. They had just enough food
to ward off near starvation until the
boats reached them.
The levee above Morganza is lined
with people and their belongings wait
ing to be taken to concentration
camps About 500 were removed last
night to New Roads, where they were
fed, then transferred to Baton Rouge.
Two hundred negroes near Batheler
were brought here early today on
government barge.
The latter were sent to New Roads
Rescue Parties Work All Night.
Morganza, May All night long
rescue parties worked in the mum
dated country west of Morganza. They
were able to reach only sixty people.
One of the flat boats, in tow of a gas
oline launch, was smashed, but its oc-
cupantSi were rescued.
