CALL 1T A BLUNDER.
Mexican Newspapers Criticise Presi-
dent Wilson's Course.

Mexico City, Aug. S.-The press of
the Mexican capital today continued
its discussion of Provisional President
Huerta's note to Secretary of State
Bryan, declaring the presence of John
Lind in Mexico would be undesirable,
unless he brought with him recogn1-
ton by the Uni&9d States of the pres
ent Mexican government.
The newspapers unanimously ap-
plauded Provisional President Huerta
and support their criticism of Presi-
dent Wilson's policy by publishing ex-
tracts from an American newspaper in
which President Wilson is attacked.
There is a noticeable lack of the
vicious anti-Amerlcanism which usual
lv attends discussions of the warmth
of the present one, and the opinion ap-
pears prevalent here, according to the
expressions of the newspapers, that
President Wilson does not represent the
spirit of the people of the United States
in the policy he is pursuing.
The Independence in an editorial ar
ticle entitled The Psychology of Will
Lind to Mexico has been a blunder and
is so recognized by the press of the
United States.
The Mexican newspapers both those
printed in English and those in Spanish
reflect the approval by Americans in
the Mexican capital of Provisional
President Huerta's stand.
Frederico Gamboa, the newly ap-
pointed foreign minister, who is to sue
ceed Manual Garza Aldape, the trans
mitter of Huerta's note, is due to ar
rive here tonight. His attitude or in
f1uence has not yet been defined, al
though he is believed to be completely
dominated by Huerta.
1t is regarded as probable that there
will not be any outward demonstration
of hostility against John Lind on his
arrival, although there has been no
abatement of the disapproval on the
part of the Mexicans of his coming.

LOST IN SMOKE
Aviator in Race With a, Fast
Passenger Train.
Loses His Way While Flying
Over Baltimore.

Washington, Aug. SC. Marvin
Wood, the American aviator, who be-
gan a nonstop race with railroad
train from New York to Washington
at 4:3O a. m. for the American dura-
ton, distance and speed record, lost
his way and was forced to land at
Gaithersburg. Md. at o'clock-2S
miles from his goal.
He lost his way while over Balt1-
more because of heavy smoke clouds,
and finally was forced to land because
from a height of 1000 feet and made
a good landing on the farm of j. B.
Diamond, on the Gaithersburg pike,
without damage to the monoplane or
himself.
When he landed, Wood got to the
nearest telephone and called up Wash
ington to ask that his mechanics be
sent to Gaithersburg to put his engine
in condition to resume his flight TO
Fort Meyer, where he was to have
landed demonstrated the efficiency or
his monoplane for war purposes before
n number of army officers and then
begin a return flight to New York IN
an attempt to capture the record Tor
the longest aeroplane flight between
sunrise and sunset.
"I passed Baltimore away ahead of
the train" said Wood when he reported
his landing over the telephone, "and
then 1 ran over smoke clouds that
were so heavy could not see anything.
1 was flying about 1000 feet up then
and was going fast. 1 couldn't find my
way, so l came down to about 4,OOO
feet, to see if that would help out any,
but it didn't, and when I got far enough
down to see clearly it was evident that
I was entirely off my course and then
my engine stopped. So 1 came down
and made a good landing, just getting
over the telephone wires on the pike"
The train Wood was racing and
which had made a nonstop run from
New York with guests, officials of the
Aero club and newspaper men, did
not arrive in Washington until $3.50
O'Clock. Woods assistants, when they
learned of his mishap, hurried on to
Gaithersburg to get his plane in con-
dition to resume the flight.
Wood began his flight from Hemp
stead, L. l., at 4:46 o'clock this morn
ing and at 4:30 the train started for
Washington from Jersey City. Wood
was about 10 miles behind the train,
railroad officials said, when the flight
began. Then Wood got ahead and
more 35 minutes before the train
reached there. From Baltimore to
Washington his route was in a south
westerly direction, over a level coun-
try. but he flew too far to the west.
While waiting for his mechanics to
arrive, Wood wrote a statement claim
ing to have broken the American nom
stop record between two points. The
statement, written on the leaves of a
notebook while Wood was standing
guard over his machine in the field
where it landed, was carried to the
telephone station mile away and
telephoned to Washington.
'I had engine trouble all the way"
wrote Wood, which made it very
hard to keep a desirable altitude. The
best altitude during the flight was
made at Havre de Grace, when l
reached 1850 feet. Anyway, I have
broken the American nonstop record
between two points and only hard luck

ROSE EQUITYS RECORD
Topeka Horse Paced Mile in 2:O7M at
Decatur, Ill, Races.

Rose Equity, a racing mare belonging
to A. F. Ruthven of Topeka, won a
purse of $1,000 in the PIP pace, at De-
catur, Ill, recently The mare made
the pace in 2:07A, which is the fastest
record ever taken by a PAGER from To-
peka.
Ruthven's mare was raised and
trained in Topeka, at the state fair
grounds. Mr.. .Ruthven, who is an in
ventor. had no experience in the racing
business but owned three head. The
Topeka trainer, George Parrish, who
fell dead in a race in Illinois, raced the
horses for him until his death. This
necessitated Ruthven in taking the
matter in his own hands. His mare to-
day is considered by many experts to
oe one of the fastest PAGERS owned by a
Kansan. In the Illinois race she was
pitted against the best horses in the
west, and won easily. Rose Equity has
been booked for the State fair, and
should prove a drawing card.

With the tacit agreement this morn
ing that the county levy is to be .23
cent on the valuation of $10O, the
total rate for the coming year bids fair
to be $1.75 against $1.67 last year, or
an increase of 8 cents. The new levy
is within cents of being the highest
ever made, the high mark having been
in 1911 when the levy aggregated
SLIT.
AS will be seen, the state and city
levies remained the same this year as
last In spite of the increased valua-
ton the state tax commission found it
necessary, to cover the appropriations
of the legislature, to make a similar
levy On account of the building of a
couple of bridges and erection of fire
station in North Topeka, and other
fire equipment, it was found impos-
sible to reduce the city levy below last
years figures.
The county levy was reduced, but
the reduction was only l cent on the
valuation of 500. This was made pos
sib1e by the state registration fees on
and motorcycles, most of
for the benefit of the road fund, and
the fact that not so many new bridges
are needed this year.
The board of education levy was
greatly increased to take care of a
large floating Indebtedness that has
been worrying the board for some
time, and on which interest in the
sum of per cent. a year is paid.
The board hopes to. pay all expenses
and clean up the floating debt by the
lew this wear.

cislons, all of which contradicted those
cited py the attorney general and he con-
court reports as did the state.
t9ulnton urged that the Kansas law was
TOO broad. He said laws patterned after
the Kansas act had been passed in IA
other states. But none of them, he said,
vast power which the Kansas act gave
to the bank commissioner.
The court cannot say urged Quinton,

color OF his hair or deny permit because
ne doesn't like the cut of mans
Looking still further into the matter.
Qu1nton pointed out that the Kansas law
prescribed violation of the act a felony.
Other states made violation a mere mis-
demeanor. To be sure. Quinton admitted
suance of a permit to sell land or mining
stock or other alleged securities, was
vested with the state charter board. But
commissioner to cancel the permit was
absurd and from legal standpoint most
alarming, according to MounDay's coun-
sci.
Not What He Meant.
ST can show you,'' urged Quinton, that
one man was compelled to pay. $500 to get
a permit for his company to do business
What company was that?" asked Daw-
II don't know" replied Quinton. 1T
was Wyoming irrigation company"
Do you tell the court the payment was
illegal or Irregular" persisted Dawson.
"Oh, no." said Quinton. 1T was open
and above board. But it isn't just to take
al of a mans money to permit him to
do business"
Question a New One.
1luinton then urged that the constitu-
tional question involved in the Kansas law
is new one. OF the IA states which have
adopted the Kansas law, contest regard
ing the constitutionality of the law is now
pending in three of them-West Virginia,
Michigan and Iowa-Quinton said.
1t is largely regarding the failure of the
1913 legislature to provide the blue
sky law amendment with a proper
title that the MounDays hope to upset the
state law. According to ARGUMENTS be-
fore the court today, the title is insult
f1cient and does not properly refer to the
subject matter of the bill. 1t is con-
tended by the state. however, that the
title of the original bill covers the amend
ment and that the point cannot be prop
erly raised in the present hearing.
Argument in the case will probably oc-
cupy the entire day. A decision in the
MounDay receivership suit, which was
submitted to the court last night, will
probably be handed down some time sat
urday Monday, as Judge Wh1tcomh
will leave for Colorado next week. A de-
cision on the question of the constitu-
tionality of the blue sky law, however,
may be deferred until the return of the
Judge from his vacation

That Cooler Brand of Weather
Won't Be Here.
sunny" Flora Says 1t Got Lost
Somewhere.
ANOTHER 1OO-DEGREE DAY
Hot Winds, Dust, Failing Wa
ter Supplies.
This Is Fifth 1OO-Day and Sat-
urday Slated for Sixth.

1t looks as though the elements in
Kansas had settled down in a hot
weather rut. Thursday night the aver
age temperature was the highest for
the season and today the mercury is
again flirting with NE hundred degree
mark. This makes the fifth consecu-
tive day on which the maximum tenn
perature has been one hundred degrees
or higher.
And worst of all is the fact that the
cooler brand of weather that was
forecasted was side tracked and a con-
tfnuance of the scorching heat is pre-
dicted for tonight and Saturday. The
forecaster adds that there will be
moderate to brisk winds which probab-
ly means a breeze of the typical Kan
saS hot" variety
Hot winds carrying binding dust
have been playing havoc in many dis
tricts of the state. A dust storm of
unusual severity ragged Thursday af-
ternoon west of Salina and much wire
trouble was experienced on account of
the wind. There we're great dust clouds
at Cottonwood Falls where the mer-
curry scared to the LOG degree point. Re-
ports from all sections state that the
heat and wind are firing the corn and
that vegetation in general is shriveling.
In speaking of the water situation in
Kansas and Kansas towns Sunny
Flora, the local observer said this
morning: Topeka should be congrat-
ulated upon her excellent water sup
ply. Not only has the water been ade-
quate thus far but it has been of good
quality. Many Kansas towns have had
to call upon the railroads to haul their
water, and other places have had to
get their water supply directly from
rivers and streams"
The Kaw has risen one-tenth of a
foot in the last "a hours although there
AN.ga.
slight influx of water. Evidently there
is still a fair supply of water in the
subsoil as the Kaw is now dependent
upon springs for it's supply. However,
wells are fast going dry in Kansas,
and the question of providing water
for stock is becoming more serious ev-
cry day. From many points stock men
are continuing to hurry their cattle to
the Kansas City market at a rate that
will soon deplete the farms and ranch
eS.
The only thing that prevented the
fore part of Thursday night at Topeka
from being unbear1ble was a breeze
from the southwest blowing at the rate
of between ten and twelve miles an
hour. The thermometer reading at
seven o'clock was 100 degrees, the
highest since July 5, 1911 the day that
the heat record for Topeka was broken
when the mercury reached the 107 de-
gree mark. The minimum tempera-
ture for the night occurred at six
o'clock this morning-7S degrees. And
it should be mentioned that another
August heat record has been broken.
There have now been four consecutive
nights on which the minimum temper
ature has not exceeded rs degrees Two
nights with temperature of 75 degrees
or over was the previous record.
Maximum temperatures as recorded
at government stations on Thursday
ranged from SO to 108 degrees. The

BELOW EXPECTATIONS
Railroads Disappointed Over Attend
ance at Denver Conclave.

Passenger traffic to Denver for the
Knights Temp1ar conclave is not up
to expectations, according to local
railroad officials. In many instances
the actual number of passengers fail
ed to fill one car where it had been
expected that an entire train would be
necessary. Several reasons are given
for the light traffic, chief of which is
that practically all the summer move
ment westward of tourists is already
over, and there is no extra inducement
in the matter of rates sufficient to be
attractive.
Special trains for the knights Tenn

LET TWO DROWN.
Hundreds Look on Without Offering

Atlantic City, n. J., Aug. S.-Miss
Edith Rockey of Quarryville, Pa. was
drowned in the ocean here today in
sight of hundreds of men, who, be-
cause of the heavy sea, feared to ven
tlire into the breakeras.
The only attempt at rescue was
made by Rufus Bradley, negro. who
nearly lost his life in trying to reach
the drowning girl. Bradley plunged
into the ocean without pausing to re-
move his clothing.
The life guards had not gone on
duty at the time the accident occurred
and during the excitement over Miss
Rockey's plight William Lewis, a ne
gro hotel employee, drowned while the
attention of the crowd was centered
on the struggling girl.

IN TRAIN WRECK
Many Are Injured When Cars Fall
Through Mobile and Ohio
TrestIe.

MERIDIAN, MISS, Oct. 19.-Twen-
ty soldiers were killed and about 100
hurt when special troop train on
the Mobile and Ohio Railroad plunged
through trestle near State Line,
Miss, late this afternoon.
The wreck was caused by the en-
CINE tender jumping the track about
zoo feet from a trestle. The engine
was not derailed, and passed oven the
trestle safely. The tender broke
loose from the engine, however, and
plunged with the baggage car AMI
three coaches to the ground, 25 feet
below.
At 9 o'clock to- night sixteen bodies
had been taken from the wreckagc
and Superintendent Pigford said in
his report he was sure four more
bodies Were in the debris, which viii

men had been taken to Mobile early
Sunday, and at noon their Inflated

AS meager news of the wreck i'll
tered into Meridian a special relief
train bearing physicians and nurses
left for the scene. Other trains left
from Mobile and Whistler, Ala. When
it was learned in Mobile that train
bearing the dead and wounded was
bound for that city, another train
carrying more doctors and nurses
was sent to meet the one bearing the
victims.
Men Had No Protection.
AS is usual with troop trains, the
coaches were well filled, and when the
three cars tumbled through the tres
tie the men had little protection. The
dead and injured were entangled in a
twisted mass of wreckage, making it
difficult to remove dead bodies or res
cue the injured.
Because OF the confusion, due
largely to poor wire communication
1t was impossible tonight to ascar-
tain how many of the injured were
expected to die or who they were.
The first report OF the wreck sent
the War Department was that twelve
had been killed, but soon after it was
sent other bodies were found.
Superintendent Pigford Is firm in
his belief that at least four more
bodies are in the wreckage, but until
the debris is clea- ed final statement
of the casualty can not be made.

ger Agent Harvey E. Jones, of Mo-
bile, were badly injured.
