SHELDON ASKS help.
Says Motor Cars Go by at 40 Miles
an Hour.

Charles NJ. Sheldon, noted Topeka
writer and lecturer, rather excited ut
the recent activity of the Topeka police
force in arresting ministers of the
gospel for not obeying street crossing
rules, sent a neat little complaint all
tied up in blue ribbon to the board OF
city commissioners this morning
Mr.. Sheldon suggests that the police
spend a little time in his part of the
cfty-in the vicinity of Washburn col
lege. The minister says he has lived
out there good many years and he
claims he has seen phantoms of motor
cars running by his house 40 miles an
hour, but in all the violation of the
speed ordinances, never has he seen a
police officer in his neighborhood
Central Park school with hundreds
of children is near Fifteenth street and
many pupils travel this route every day
on their way to school, said Mr..
Sheldon. Fifteenth street between
Central park and College avenue is the
speedway of the southwestern part Of
the city,
The commissioners referred the NIT
ter to the mayor. Police officers will
watch the locality. The police want II
known that if any of Mr.. Sheldon s
church members are arrested they viii
be treated like all joy riders.

MAY BE THOMAS.
Rumor He Will Succeed John Purcell
as Shop superintendent.

that Frank Thomas, supervisor of ap-
tht Frank Tomas. supervisor of APP
prentices, of the Topeka shops of the
Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe, will be
appointed superintendent of shops to
succeed John Purcell who has been ap-
pointed assistant to the vice president.
Supervisor Thomas has been with the
Santa Fe good many years and has
acted in different capacities in the me-
chanical department. He is a valua BILE
officer in the mechanical work and is
a popular man in Topeka shop circles.
1t is well known that Thomas is a
man well liked and favored by John
Purcell-which is a material matter IN
the appointment.
Nothing but runlors tell of the sue
cessor to A'urceu. No announcement
has been authorized from his Office and
no word has been received from Chi
cago headquarters.
The appointment is of special interest
to Topeka. The superintendent of the
shops in this city has charge of $500
men and is a power in the mechanical
work of the road.

To TELL OF LABOR
Thomas Glynn, Kerwin Burns
and j. A. Jones to Speak.
Meeting Will Be Held at Sixth
and Kansas Avenues.

preaching an approved brand of
red rag doctrine, Thomas Glynn will
tonight lead a street meeting at Sixth
and Kansas avenue, when Topekans
will be told of the strike troubles in
the eastern and western labor centers.
kerwin Burns and J. A. Jones, New
York workers in the faith, will assist
Glynn. Jones is a former Topekan
and is the towns only real live con-
tribution to the disciples of distrust.
Glynn, who will have charge of the
street services, is a native of johann
nesberg, South Africa. He has been
an active party in American labor
troubles and gained recognition in
the Los Angeles upheaval in the which
the iron workers unions were feat
ured. Burns is a consecrated worker.
Following the labor troubles in Law
renee, Mass. Burns conducted an art
exhibit for the benefit of the strikers
and raised several thousand dollars.
He left New Yo-k two weeks ago, lee
turing in Buffalo, Chicago and ST.
Louis.
Jones, the former Topekan, became
an asset of the labor organizations
when he laid down his paint bucket
and went to New York In the me-
tropolis, Jones was a handy man at
the big meetings where the red flag
was in evidence. His reputation as
good painter in Topeka was only
eclipsed by an accumulation of badges
and titles at the hands of the New
York labor unions. Now it is Jones
once of Topeka-who is elected to ac-
company the official party to Los An
geles. In Los Angeles they will con-
fer with the western leaders of the
faith and tinker with the affairs of
state.
1t is in the course of this merry pill
grimage that some of the towns en-
route are permitted to share in the
abundant blessings. Loaded to t he
muzzle with faith, hope and a ton of
argument, these men will give To-
peka her inspiration from the trou-
BILE zone since the night that Emma
Goldman revealed the frailtieS of the
nation. Perm ission has been given to
hold the meeting at Sixth and Kansas
avenue under a clear and cloudless
sky-perhaps-and no admission will
be charged.

son the grasses of the canal ZcEe are
generally so parched that very little
sustenance can be secured from
cleared pastures. But stored forage
and crops like cassava, sugar cane,
sorghum, banana stalks, ETC., could be
depended upon to carry stock through
the dry months to the rainy season
the season OF green grass and other
tender vegetation. With such posi-
bilities for the local production OF
forage crops there is no necessity for
the present relatively large importa-
tons at high prices of grain, hay aid
other feeds by the few who are oper-
ating stock and dairy farms. AT the
time of this survey the price of shelled
native corn was So gold per SO-pound
sack, while bran was bringing $3.50
per 100 pounds. 1t is not at all sur
pris1ng under such conditions that the
demand for milk Is so much greater
than the supply and that the prices
are exceptionally high. Milk from
dairy farms of the savannah section
is sold in the city OF Panama at %
cents per bottle containing one-tifth
of a gallon, less than a quart.
Very few hogs and goats are raised
in the canale zone. A considerable
number of hogs and goats are import
ed from points along the Pacific coast,
and hogs principally from the Province
of Chirique, in the high northern por-
tons of the Republic of Panama.
Some poultry is raised by native and
canal employees. In view of the ruling
high prices there is unquestionably
good opening for raising both pork
and poultry. Away from the noisy
activities of canal construction the
depredations of wild animals such as
the tiger cat and jaguar would likely
entail some loss to these industries

could be extensively and probably
grown for shipment to the United

$96,233,528 Was the Total
Output in 1911.
Silver Production for Year Is $780,
III Ounces, 1t Is Announced in
Preliminary Estimate by Di-
rector Roberts of the Mint.

Washington.-The gold production
of the United States during 1911 was
was 500, 1888, 1928 and the silver produc-
ton 57,796,117 ounces, according to a
preliminary estimate issued by George
E. Roberts, director of the mint. This
is reduction in gold of about $45 900
and in silver of about 100000 ounces
as compared with the returns for 1910
Among the states and territories the
principal gold producers were: Cali
fornia, with $30,31O,987; Colorado, with
S19,153, 1850; Nevada, with $18,968,578;
Alaska, with $16,002,976; South Da-
kota, with $743O,367; Utah, with $4,-
769,747; Montana. with $3,169,840; Ar
iona, with $2,954, 100, and Idaho with
SLIGO, Pol
In the order named, Utah, Montana,
Nevada, Colorado and Idaho led as sill
yer producers. At the average price
for the year the total silver product
was worth $685., 500.
The net amount of gold and silver
used in the Industrial arts was ap
proximately $34,OOO,O0O gold and 3d.
100000 ounces of silver The coinage
of the minis was: Gold, $56,176,S22;
silver, s6,457,301 nickel and copper,
$3,156,726. Total, $65.790,S50. The
ner gain in the country's st elk of gold
coin, including bullion in the treasury
during the year was close to 100000
000
The directors report gives the final
figures for the production of gold in
the world in 1910 at $454, 703,9O
The director also makes a prelimin-
airy estimate upon the worlds produc-
ton in 1911 of 466,7Oo,OOO. OF a gain
of about $12,O0O,0O0 The Transvaal
increased its output by about 4,000,-
900 and other African fields gained
s2.0O0,O0O.

LESS GOLD is MINED

On the other hand, Australia showed
a continuance of the decline which
has been persistent since 1903, the
loss in 1911 being about 100000.
The production of North America was
about the same as in 1910.
These three grand geographic divi-
sions produced nearly S400,000,000 and
the gains and losses in other produ-
cling countries probably about Offset
each other. Australasia has fallen
from $89,21O,100 in 1903 to $62 ,OOO,-
900.
Although gold production continues
to increase, the increase was at a
diminishing rate and the director ex-
presses the opinion that there Is moth
ing in the present outlook to indicate
a repetition of the phenomenal gains
that were made between 1890 and 1899
and between 1901 and 1908 They were
the result of the discovery of the cya-
hide process and of the development
of the wonderful Transvaal field. The
only country in the world that is
showing notable gains at this time is
Africa, and the Transvaal field is near
ing it's maximum

SHOWING FORCE OF EXAMPLE
Female George Washington Is Abroad
in the Land, and Cherry
Trees Suffer.

Probably no other American Legend
ever appealed to the national imag-
ination more powerfully than the cher
ry tree story. Certainly none has so
completely captivated the fancy Of
Mrs. John Gowen of Hickory Ridge,
Pa
Several weeks ago a resident OF
Hickory Ridge discovered that sew
eral fine cherry trees on his property
had been ruthlessly chopped down.
There was no conceivable reason why
the trees should have been destroyed,
and the identity of the offender re-
manned mystery until Mrs. Gowen
voluntarily acknowledged that she
had done the chopping.
In the prosecution that followed ii
developed that Mrs. Gowen had no
substantial reason for telling the
trees. 1t appeared, however, that she
had consuming hatred of falsehood
and had chopped down the cherry
trees merely in order to gain an op
portunity to prove that she could not
tell lie.
