New YORK; stock Market.

Wall St. New York, Aug. 13.-SToCKS-
Inc tone of today's early market suggest
ed the thought that yesterdays pace was
almost too rapid to be long continued
initial quotations showed some Irregular
lIy despite the encouragement from Lon
Qon whose own market was buoyant.
Early pressure against some of the leaders
soon relaxed however, Steel making a
new high price for the movement to the
accompaniment of more extensive deal
lngs. Union Pacific, Reading reflected
renewed inquiry at pronounced advances.
Some skepticism attached to substantial
advances in issues of minor speculative
Importance. The frequent dullness was
in striking contrast to yesterdays high
pressure.
Bonds were steady.
Trading in Steel was again the feature at
the opening OF today'S stock market q
block of 4,50o shares changing hands at
SOS and 6514, at which latter price it closed
yesterday.
Other leaders showed gains and losses,
Amalgamated, Reading Canadian Pacific
and Erie selling under yesterdays final
quotations.
On the other hand there were numerous
gains in other stocks includingg Pacific
Mail and American Tobacco which rose
L and IA respectively.

physical contest with Mr.. Sulzer over
the office of governor said Lieutenant
Governor Glynn this afternoon.
AS far as 1 am concerned, there
will be no circus or military maneuvers
about occupying the executive cham
bers. The law is supreme"
The fact that the various state de-
partments and bureaus are divided in
their allegiance to the executive and
the Democrat organization which is
seeking to depoSe him, stimulates in
tereSt in the complicated situation.
The possibility of two men endeavor-
ing to discharge the functions of the
chief executive at the same time Sug-
gests a chaotic condition that the
court Wou1 dhave power to deal with.
Governor Sulzer, according to a
close friend, already had drafted with
the advice of his counsel, a letter en-
bodying reasons for refusing to turn
over his office to Lieutenant Govern
or Glynn on anticipation of such a
demand Immediately following off
cial reception of the articles of i'm
parchment by the senate. The SEN
ate was not expected to meet until late
in the afternoon.
Monday, Sept. %, was this after
noon made a tentative selection for
the date of trying Governor Sulzer on
the Impeachment charges. This selec-
this, subject to change, was reached
at conference by Senator Wagner,
president pro tenn of the senate, and
judges of the court of appeals.

WORKS BOTH WAYS.
Paving Contractors Helped and Hin
dered by Hot Weather.

While the present hot weather, in
one way, is proving a boon to men
who are handling paving contracts
in Topeka, in another it is proving
decidedly expensive. according to J..
A. Ramsey. The concrete dries and
sets rapidly, expediting the paving
work. But when a street has to be
graded the contractor trembles and
wishes there might be a little mois-
ture in the ground.
1T is costing like fury to grade
streets with the weather the way it
is" Ramsey said. The ground is so
hard and dry that it is almost like
grading in stone. Then we find some
trouble in leVeling the ground after
it has been graded, the dirt in its
present state being difficult to han
die. and so hard it will not break up.
AT Mcpherson they have stopped
us from doing any more grading I'M
til it rains because it is almost i'm
is graded. 1t is a lot worse there
is black, and bakes so hard when it
is dry
Concrete, the contractors say, sets
to keep it from cracking open, and
a day or two of rain once
in a while would help rather than
hinder paving operations. The work
is farther along than it ever has been
at this time of the year considering
the large amount there is to do, the
city engineer says, and all of the
work for the present year will be
finished in good time.

SANTA FE IS KIND.
Railway Makes Special Mention OF
State Fair in Topeka.

The state fair in Topeka is the only
Kansas exposition advertised as I'm
portant Meetings by the general time
card of the Atchison. Topeka & Santa
Fe railway. The Santa Fes folder in
use all over the 1900 miles of lines
makes mention of only one fair in
Kansas this fall-that the real state
exposition in Topeka.
The Santa Fe passenger department
also has distributed dodgers all along
its line in the state advertising the
state fair in this city and giving a
wide range of publicity to the coming
entertainment.
The folder reads in part:
"A fair for farmers which the city
man is urged to visit. A varied and
interesting exhibition of the gratifying
result of the application of correct
principles. Go! See what the other
man or woman has done. Perhaps
theirs is the better way. Can't tell
until you have compared methods and
results Displays of everything re-
quired to insure success in your field
of labor except the human factor
that's personal. Cattle, horses, swine,
poultry, the best strains. Most of them
of the blue ribbon variety. SiIos.
tractors, plows. etc. Wagons car
riages. automobiles; everything de-
signed to add to the farmers eff
cheney, comfort and wealth.

ON NEGRO HUNT
MissOurians i'm Motor Boats
and Automobiles.
Search for Murderer of a 49,
Year-OId Girl.

Lexington, Mo-, Aug. 13.-Men in mo-
tor boats, automobiles. on horseback
and on foot to the number of several
hundred today hunted for Goldie
WINFIELD, young negro, accused of
the murder of Estelle Potter, 13-
year-old girl. whose body was found
in ravine ON her fathers farm near
here. .--- -.--.
Bloodhounds that were placed on the
trail led posse to the banks of the
Missouri river.
AT this point a boat belonging to the
negro was found and the searchers
discovered that a skiff belonging to a
farmer had been stolen by the fugi-
responded in size with those of the
negro. The bloodhounds were taken
across the river but they did not pick
up the trail on that side and the fact
led to the belief that WINFIELD had
gone down the river in the boat.
A dozen men in three motor boats
followed the river for Is miles each way
from Lexington without finding a trace
of the negro.
Other posses searched the wooded
districts and fields where it was
thought the fugitives might be hiding.
Sheriff Wadell said he would offer q
reward of $500 for the apprehension OF
WINFIELD. The sheriff does not accept
the theory advanced that WINFIELD
had killed himself.
L think he got away in a boat on
the river" he said, but we will have
him soon"
The police of Kansas City were asked
today to be on the lookout for the ne
gro as 1t was believed he might have
gone there

WATER AT HUTCHINSON
One Stream Stops After II Years
Others Have Supply.

Hutchinson, Kan. Aug. 13.-for the
first time in forty-one years. during
which time Colonel Henry Hartford
has known the stream, Little river is
dry. There are a few pools, in low
spots, but for miles and miles no water
is flowing down the stream. In wells
only eight feet deep, near the river and
much above the bed of the stream,
there is water. 1t is unexplained.
Cow creek, through Hutchinson, has
its normal flow and Salt creek, west
of Hutchinson, and the Minnesota
river, south of town a dozen miles,
has some water in it. The Arkansas
river, save for a stream one can step
across at places on its sandy bottom, is
dry a bone

HE IS SATISFIED
Washington Police Chief Goes
on Sleuthing Expedition
To Test White House Guards
and Is Arrested.

Washington, Aug. 13.-While Presi-
dent Wilson was sleeping in appar-
ent security early today an intruder
leaped the fence of the White House
grounds and stealthiIy made his way
in the direction of the presidential
chambers before he was discovered.
Under cover of darkness, the tres
passer, lodging through the shrub
berry of the grounds, had gained the
corridors of the White House itself
before a policeman arrested his prog
ress. This was all the policeman did
arrest, however, for the intruder was
Superintendent of Police Sylvester.
The head of the force was out on a
personal inspection to discover the
efficacy of the guard thrown around
the chief executive of the nation.
Near the close of the Taft admin
istration, the number of police de-
tailed to guard the White House and
its environs was cut down sharply I'M
til now only 81 members of the
Metropolitan force are on duty dur
ing the "a hours. Major Sylvester
determined this morning to discover
whether the night shift was suffi-
GENTLY large to detect and prevent
any attempt. to enter the White
House. He expressed himself today
as entirely satisfied with his inspec-

AT FORT LEAVENWORTH
Secretary of War Garrison to Stop
There August 10.

Leavenworth, Kan, Aug. 1S.-Sec-
rotary of War Garrison, accompanied
by Major General Leonard Wood, chief
of staff; Major General ]. B. AIeshire
and Captain ]. S. B. ShindeI, will ar
rive at Fort Leavenworth August 10,
on their tour of inspection. After this
inspection Secretary Garrison will de-
eide whether Fort Leavenworth is to
be abandoned or built into one of the
largest army posts of the country.
1t is almost certainty that the post
not only will be retained but will be
made one of the most important in the
United States When the secretary
arrives he will find only one squadron
OF the Fifteenth cavalry stationed
here, but that is expected to make lit
tie difference in his decision. Twelve
thousand troops which formerly were
stationed at the post now are in camp
in Texas. The secretary and his party
who are making a tour of every army
post of the country, and thus far has
ordered that many of the smaller posts
be abandoned. now are in Yellowstone
park. When the inspection ends there
the party will come direct to Leavcn-

INITIATE THE STORK.
Men Stand on One Leg to Increase
Their Height.

Chicago, Aug. 13.-About 200 men
who aspire to the Chicago police force
spend several hours each day standing
on one foot to increase their height.
This statement was made today by
Robert A. Widdowson, secretary of
the civil service commission, who says
that imitators of the stork increase
their length from one-quarter to
three-q aurters of an inch by the prac-
