HODGES FOR K. C.
Governor Would Have X. U.-
Mo. Football Game There
After Consideration of Question
From Every Angle.

Governor Hodges has declared him
self in favor of the holding of the an
nua1 football game between Kansas
and Missouri state universities at Kan
sas City rather than on the grounds
of either of the institutions.
"Of course the decision of the chan
cellor and the board of administration
must rule said the governor today,
but I sincerely hope the game will
be played at Kansas City. There is no
force in the argument that the stu
dents will be more tempted in the
matter of drinking at Kansas City
than they would at Columbia, so. far
as | can see. If they want it they will
get liquor at either place, and they are
old enough to withstand the tempta-
ton and behave themselves at Kansas
City or in any other city.
''At Kansas City thousands more per-
sons will be enabled to see the game
If it is taken to Colum bia many will
be prevented from going to it by the
distance. The game is an important
event to Kansas City, where there are
friends of both schools, and that place
is accessible to thousands from both
states who are willing to go any rea-
sonable distance to it,
On Saturday Governor Hodges will
go to Lawrence to witness the first
game of the season, to be played be-
tween the university and the Haskell
Indian school,

UNCLE SAM HAS HIM.
Muret Is Turned Over to Federal Of
ficers on Counterfeiting Charge.

New York, Oct. Ernest Muret,
the self styled dentist who it is
charged was an associate in the coun-
terfeiting operations with Hans
Schmidt, the slayer of Anna Aumuller,
was surrendered today by the state to
the United States secret service. An
Indictment charging counterfeiting
had been found against him by the
federal grand jury.
Before Muret was surrendered to
the federal authorities he was ar
raigned today for sentence on his plea
of guilty to a charge of having in his
possession a dangerous weapon in vio-
1ation of the Sullivan law. Sentence
on this charge was suspended in order
to permit the federal authorities to
press the counterfeiting charge. Muret
was taken back to the Tombs.

tween New York and Philadelphia for

ern time which is 1 o'clock Topeka
time. The score of each game will be
posted by innings on the State Jour
naPs bulletin window as the game pro-
ceeds, as well as any feature plays,

paper the game will be given in detail,
play by play, box score. etc.

sible and almost instantaneous. the
Press having unexcelled
facilities by direct wires to the play
ing fields and running directly into the
State Journal building.
The public is invited to watch the
State Journals bulletin board each aft
ernoon during the series; then read the
details in the paper, which will be is
sued shortly after the close of each

for the meeting of the special session

This session has been called for the
purpose of taking action on amend
ing the constitution and laws of the
order to allow of the admission of wo-
men. At the regular session of the
grand lodge held at Arkansas City
last March this matter was brought
up, and while there was an over
whelming sentiment in favor of it, it
was held up under a resolution which
provided that a proposition for the
consolidation of the A. o. Z. w. and
the Degree of Honor should be pre-
sented to the grand lodge of the latter
order A committee from the A. o.

the Degree of Honor grand lodge and
su bmit the proposition for consolida-
ton. When this proposition was sub
mitted to the Degree of Honor grand
lodge at LeavenwOrth last May it
was rejected. and that body passed
laws providing for the admission of
men, regardless of whether they are
members of the A. o. U. w. or not
Heretofore, only men who are mem
bers of the A. o. L. W. would be ad-

More Than 100 Officials and

T0PEKANS ON The PROGRAM
Effort to Cut Down Loss in
Freight Traffic.
John Purcell Heads Defective
Equipment Session.

More than one hundred officials and
employees of the Atchison, Topeka &
Santa Fe Railway company are in st.
Joseph this week, to plan for increased
efficiency in the transportation of
freight, mainly with the view of reduc-
ing to the minimum the item of loss
and damage, which is expensive and
annoying both to carrier and shipper.
The visitors are from all parts of the
Santa Fe system-from Chicago to the
Pacific coast; from Galveston to Dem
yer. They will be in session until Fri
day anyway; perhaps until Saturday.
The sessions are held at the Hotel
Robidoux.
The organization is known as the
Santa Fe System Loss and Damage
Committee. F. A. Lehman of Chicago,
assistant to w. B. Storey, jr, vice pres
ident in charge of operation, is chair
man of the committee. F. c. Maegly
of Chicago, assistant general freight
agent, is secretary. The committee has
a docket of forty-six subjects. These
subjects, generally, are in the hands of
experts, who give their views, and then
everybody is given a chance to talk. 1t
is a sort of experience meeting. One of
the rules is that any member of the
committee can say what he pleases. If
station agent does not agree with a
general superintendent on a given
proposition, he says so and gives the
reason for the faith that is in him.
By the way, there are six general su-
perintendents in the meeting here.
Among the subjects on the docket
are: Detective equipment, cooperation

Coudersport, Pa, Oct. Am at
tempt to wreck the plant of the Potter
Enterprise was made early today. A
heavy charge of dynamite was ex-
pIoded under the typesetting ma
chimes. The side of the building was
blown out but the machines were only
slightly damaged. No one was in the
building at the time.
The force of the explosion broke
windows in surrounding buildings. To
explode the charge a tunnel had been
made from an alleyway under a wall.
There was no basement under that
part of the building. The Enterprise
is published by NJ. T. Stokes, who was
formerly engaged in newspaper pub
liSning in Ohio. The paper has been
conducting a very vigorous campaign
on local issues.
A reward of $500 has been offered
by the county commissioners for the
arrest of those responsible for the out
rage.

FOR LIBERTY OR DEATH
Four Men Who Were Being Deported
Leap From Ship.

New York, Oct. -Four men who
were to have been deported on the
steamer France obtained liberty or
death today by leaping As feet from
an upper deck to the Hudson, as the
vessel lay at her pier. All trace of the
men was lost. The finding of two life
belts in the river, however, led to the
belief that they had perished.
The men were confined in a cabin
near the hospital ward. They escaped
by cutting a hole in the wall, crawl
ing down chutes to the coalpit and
climbing the emergency ladders to the
upper deck. So quietly did they work
that a guard stationed outside the cab
in door heard nothing of their move
ment. All had arrived here recently
