RAW ROCK PHOSPHAT {

In continuation of my letter
begun last week, the following
extracts are taken from the an
swer of w. M. Bruce, Phi. D. ,
Raw, fine ground, rock phos-
phate is a we'll recognized and
valuable phosphate fertilizer
1t is sometimes spoken of as
floats, Large quantities are pro-
duced at the phosphate deposits
in Tennessee, from where it is
shipped all over the country
The lime and alumina do not re-.
duce it's value for making raw
phosphate fertilizer, though they
do greatly reduce its value for
making superphosphate.
Raw phosphate is n7-.ica'ar' 4
valuable when applied with ordi-
nary manure, green manure
crops or any kind of decaying or
ganic matter.
In case the soil is already sour,
as most of our Arkansas soils are,
the raw phosphate is more valu-
oble to plants team upon a lime
stone, or alkaline soil.
All that is necessary to use,
says DR.. Hopkins a leading soil
and fertilizer expert of the world
as fertilizers are ground lime
stone, gIound raw rock phosphate
and organic matter.
In Bulletin 72, Arkansas Agri-
cultural Experiment Station on
Phosphate Rock of Arkansas
120, we read, This is a fact Of
the first Importance to the own
ers of phosphate lands and the
farmers of the South, viz. ali
these rocks may be used directly
as fertilizers. This method is
used in the Southwestern part of
France, These phosphates are
extremely valuable in the raw
state if very finely ground AS a
direct manure.
1t is well known that there is
a conflict in certain sections be.
tween dealers in raw ground
phosphate rock ard the manu-
factarers Of superphosphates,
commonly called commercial fer
tilizers. This should not be.
Let it be recoe nized hat com
mercial fertilizers of standard
grades are valuable for present
crop and that for the permanent
conversation and betterment of
the soil raw rock phosphate,
when finely ground, is also very
valuable fertilizer.

Commissioner of Agriculture.

the Auditorium.
PrOgressives Plan ROusing
Rally of the Campaign.

The Stubbs-BristOw meeting at the
auditorium tonight will call back recol-
lections of the palmy days when torch
light professions and parades were one
of the features of a political campaign
in Kansas. This is the first important
meeting in Topeka in the interest of
Stubbs' candidacy for United States
senator and a big parade on Kansas
avenue will precede the meeting in the
auditorium. There will be brass bands
and banners in the street parade and in

ton in Kansas without gloves.
Shortly after s o'clock this evening

Both the knights. and Ladies of Secur-
ity band and JecksOn's band will be in
the parade, while Marshalls band will
furnish the music at the auditorium
Several hundred Stubs enthusiasts will
march in the parade Many of these
workers will carry banners with slogans
characteristic of the campaigns in the
early sos. Hear Stubbs Tonight"
"Stubbs for a Square Deal" "Stubbs
VIII Represent All People" and Kan
sas Needs Stubs in Washington are
some of the declarations and state
ments contained on the banners to be
carried by the Stubbs followers

the political situation in the state
Right here in Topeka, where the fight
ing is bitter and the Stubbs opposition
mas been perhaps the most apparent

CUB LEADER
Contract Will Be Signed Friday
announcement Soon.
Murphy Thinks He Can Play
Many More Years.
Rv f. s. Geiger

Chicago, Oct. 22-The announcement
that Johnny Evers has been appoint
ed manager of the Cubs is to come Off
cially from President Charles w. Muir
ply on Saturday, providing the Muir
phy-Chance controversy does not cause
hitch. But at any rate Murphy will
hold the information no longer than
Novem Der l.
There was no meeting between Evers
and the boss Monday. A conference
was to be held, but when the story
broke SO unexpectedly, both the tro-
jan and Murphy got busy on the wire
and effected postponement. AS near
as can be learned they are to meet
Friday when the contract is to be
signed and the announcement will
come officially soon after. Evers was
a hard person to find after the news
broke, the wise little Johnny not car
ing to be interviewed.
Incidentally with the assurance that
the story is genuine, Murphy refus-
ing to fatty deny it, comes more rea-
sons why the owner of the West side
organization has selected the Troy
youngster. OF course the fact that
John is the nearest approach to Mugsy
McGraW seems to be the strong fea-
ture with Murphy. But he is credited
with saying that John has the ability
to talk intelligently in public, that he
is a good mixer and carries convinc-
here that this is a reflection on the
ability of Frank Chance or that he
lacked any of these qualities).
Murphy argues that Evers is the only
old timer on the team who retains
the speed of the famous stonewan
infield. He is married, has a family
and clean habits. He is popular in all
of the cities where baseball is played
and is as we'll liked in New York as
he is in Chicago, this despite the fact
that in 1908 his quick thought robbed
the Giants the championship when
Merkle failed to touch second. Then
another strong feature in Evers is the
fact that Johnny is of a build that
changes little.
Either in or out of the playing sea-
son Evers takes on little weight, this
attribute making him to play the game
for long time to come. Murphy is
of the belief that Johnny will still be
in the game when he reaches Hans
Wagner's age, and the veteran is close
to 43.
Johnny being but 90 years old now,
he would have long reign at the head
of the Chicago National Leag que organ
ization. murphy is satisfied that John
carries the respect of every member
of the team and that they will play
Just as hard for him as they did for
Frank Chance. Evers carries convinc-
ing arguments, Murphy declares, has
the courage to go into the thick of the
fight and fight for right and will keep
alive the fighting spirit that Frank
Chance instil1ed into the team years
ago. 4
Murphy still declares that Chance
released himself when he
told him in August that he would rath-
er not manage the team.
I'VE must have a manager who Is
willing to manage a ball club and who
is heart and soul in the fight" said
Murphy today. II have nothing but
praise for Chance and he did his work
nobly. But he informed me he would
rather not handle the team so I sought
out a new manager

MRS. DICKIE is DEAD.
End Came Suddenly to Former To-
peka Lady at Cedar Rapids.

Word was received today of the
sudden death this morning of Mrs.
w. G Dickie at her home in Cedar
Rapids, Iowa. It is not known as yet
the cause of death The news is a
great. shock to her host of friends
in Topeka. Mr.. and Mrs. Dickie

Cedar Rapids about a year ago when
the Jensen Manufacturing company,
of which Mr.. Dickie was president,
was consolidated with a large cream
cry supply house in Cedar Rapids
Mrs Dickie was an accomplished
pianist and was a member of the
Ladies' Music club during the time
her home was in Topeka. She and
her daughter, Margaret, visited
friends here only a few weeks ago

TRY TO KILL HIM
States Principal Witness At
tackled Soon After Murder.
Now Believed Auto Saved e. S.
MOOre's Life.

Wellington, Kan, Oct. 22.-Since E.
S. Moore, the second hand man, had
been found to be a most important
witness in the McKnelly case, the Of
ficers are wondering if the assault
on Mr.. Moore a few nights after the
arrest of Otto has any significance
relative to the murder case.
AS Moore was going home a few
nights after the murder he was as
saulted by two men. He was struck
with something that might have been
sandbag. An AUTOMOBILE which
happened to come along at the mo-
ment is believed to have frightened
the assailants away before they could
do any more harm. He describes the
men as one being small and the other
of ordinary height
Mr.. Moore has testified that Otto
McKnelly bought a .38 caliber revol-
YER at his store on about September
s, and that there was another man
with McKnelly when he paid for the
gun. The officers are now trying to
find who this man was. and as they
are working on the theory of young
McKnelly's. guilt, they think it may
not be improbable that McKnelly's
companion may have been responsible
for the attack on Mr.. Moore, know
ing he was an important witness
against McKnelly.
The officers believe they will get
some very important evidence if they
can find the man who was with Otto
when he bought the gun.

FIGHT TO DEATH
Unknown Man and Woman
Kill Each Other.
Name of Neither known
Only One Outcry.

st. Louis. Oct. 22.-In the crowded
FaIstaff cafe in the heart of the down
town district a man and a woman
fought to the death at midnight Mon
cay night. Neither has yet been iden-
titled by the police No one in the
throng of Bohemians and after thea
ter diners could be found who knew
either of the principals in the tragedy.
A postcard may identify the man. 1t
was addressed to L. D. MorreH and
signed by Hannah c. Kelly, Sc Babbit
street, Dayton, Ohio. The woman wore
a wedding ring inscribed NJ c. O'D to
A. P
The woman was seated in the cafe
with two men and a woman when the
unidentified man entered He went
quietly to the table. called the woman
and she. with as little apparent con-
cern, left the party and seated herself
at another table with the new conner
While these two talked the three per-
sons with whom the young woman
had entered left the cafe. a moment
later the throng heard a cry.
The man stood above the woman
and plunged a knife into her body.
She screamed and they struggled into
the center of the room where she
wrested the knife from the man and
stabbed him in the throat. He fell
dead and she sank down on his body.
A score of women tainted and men
fed. The woman died on the way to
the hospital without speaking a word.
The tragedy occurred without the
slightest warning. Within five min
utes the street above the Falstaff was
massed with people and more than so
hysterical women were being cared for.
Tie double killing was so amazing
that investigation began slowly and 50
far has been practically fruitless.
Search for the three persons with
whom the dead woman was dining did
not furnish even clue to their identi-
ty.
Few persons could be found who
could even describe them The wom-
ans single cry before the first knife
stroke was the only sound uttered by
either in the duel of 80 seconds. The
woman had been stabbed twice and
her fingers cruelty slashed before she
secured the knife.
At a late hour the police were told
by one of the cafe owners who in fear
had fled at the killing, that the wo-
man had been in the cafe twice with
the man who seemed insaneIy jealous
of her. He declared, however, he had
no idea who they were.
