Clearinghouse Urges Planting of Pota-

The Topeka Real Estate Dealers

in the direction of gardening va
cant lots in Topeka, by appropriating
the sum of $3.50 to be used in three
prizes by the management of the city

PERKINS VISITS 7. R.
OstensibIy to Carry Letter From

w. Perkins, former partner of J. p.
Morgan, has paid a mysterious visit to
Theodore Roosevelt here Mr.. Per-
kinS'S supposed activity in behalf of
Colonel Roosevelt and his connection
with the International Harvester COM
pany have furnished campaign mater
ial for the coloneFs opponents since
he declared himself willing to accept
the presidential nomination.
Mr.. Perkins slipped inconspicuously
into Oyster Bay late in the afternoon.
All that was seen in the village was
a high powered limousine which sped
through the snow at such a clip that
no one could tell who was within
All that Colonel Roosevelt would
say of the visit was that Mr.. Perkins
came as the bearer of a message from
Senator Dixon, the co1onels campaign
manager. When he was seen the col
onel said he had received telephone
message from his secretary in New
York saying that Senator Dixon would
pass through New York between
and IL o'clock and would like to see
the colonel. Senator Dixon could re-
main in the city three hours: 1t was
said. Colonel Roosevelt replied that
he would be unable to go to town to
see the senator. He was then told, he
said, that Senator Dixon might send
a message to Oyster Bay.
When it became known that Mr..
Perkins had gone to Sycamore Hill.
Colonel Roosevelt was asked whether
he cared to say anything as to the OBJ
ject of the visit. He sent back word
that Mr.. Perkins had come from New
York with a message from Senator
Dixon and after visit of few min
utes, had started back for New York.
The colonel added that he would say
nothing else in regard to Mr.. Per
kins' visit. Later in the evening, he
said, he might receive another mes
sage from Senator Dixon, but he de-
cIared in advance that If such a mes
sage came he would have nothing to
say about it.

THE HONOR SYSTEM
 LED ID RESIGNATION

BISBEE, Dec. 2.-That the "honor system" among the convicts of the state penitentiary was, indirectly, re- sponsible for the resignation of Frank Brown as superintendent of the state industrial school at Benson, is stated by Phoenix dispatches which tell of the arrest of the bandmaster of the reform school on the charge of being drunk on a recent visit to the capital city, thus violating his parole.
 Three of the governors "honor convicts were sent to Benson as en- ployees under MT. Brown, and it is said that the superintendent objected to having the responsibility of three convicts on his hands, together with the responsibility of the young incor- rigibles at the institution The con- victs were sent to Benson to serve as cook, bandmaster and as guard, re- spectively
 This is said to have been but one of the thorns in the side of the school superintendent, under the sting of which he rendered his resignation to Governor Hunt.

TRIP Is 4
 DELIGHTFUL AFFAIR

If the mouse and the pussy cat would again go to sea in their little, pea-green boat, the chances are that some government official would per suade them to paddle down to the Panama Canal.
 The only trouble with the Panama Canal is that it ought to be in our back yard, as it would save such a deal of money in travel expenses for Uncle Sam.
 The Secretary of War, with party including Miss Helen Taft, are on the Isthmus, and the presidents daughter, through the aid of electrical mechan- ism, for the first time swung open one of the great Gatun locks. 4
 The Hamburg g-American tours out from New Orleans are as popular as the ice cream at a children's party.

AMERICAN BOY SHOT
 AT AGUA PRIEIA

DOUGLAS, Dec. 2.-Santiago Stev- ems, young man who was shot the other day by one of the secret agents of Manuel Cuesta, and is now in jail in Agua Prieta, suffering a bad wound on one of his lower limbs, declared to American Consul Simpich, who visited him Saturday, that he was an American citizen; that his father was an American, and his mother a Mexi- can. He said he was born in Chihua- hua, but that his parents were Ameri- cans and he was educated in Fl Paso.
 Consul Simpich has taken the pains to investigate the case and will fol low up the statement of the young man, and if found that he is really an American there will be some de- mands made of the Mexican govern ment, in the case, which will not be pleasant.

 While the present session is merely the expiring stage of a congress soon to go out of business and to be super ceded in political control and policy after March 4, yet today's sessions in 5he senate and house bring together, for the first time since the recent over turning, those leaders and elements of various parties who have been most prominent in public affairs.
