new POISON TEST
Method of Discovering Presence
of Drugs in Stomach.
And Their Nature Has Been
Found by Scientist.

Baltimore. Sept. 20.-By means of an
appliance devised by Professor w. w.
Abel. head of the department of phar-
macology of the Johns Hopkins univer-
sity it has been made possible it is de-
persons thought to be suffering from
the effects of poison are really under
the influence of drugs and to be able
to discover almost Immediately the
poison they have taken. The contriv-
ance consists of a series of coils and
tubes, which are submerged in saline
solution and it's action is said to be
the same as that of the kidney.
In making the test for poison it is
necessary to have the blood stream
flow through the tubes. This is done
by connecting the tubes with the jugu-
lar vein and the carotid artery. The
blood passes through the tubes, which
are then immersed in a pan containing
a warm solution by means of a porous
substance connecting the glass tubes.
The foreign and poisonous substance
in the blood filters through into the
saline solution. The solution being of
the same temperature and consistency
as the lymph in the blood, none of
s--e natural ingredients which make up
the blood are taken up by the solution
OF salt.
After allowing the blood to flow
through the tubes for given time, a
specimen of the saline solution is taxi
en- and then it is but a simple matter
of chemical analysis to find what
poison or foreign substance is present
in the system of the patient.

STATES S. 0. S. CALL.
County Treasurers Drawn Upon for
Additional Funds.

State Auditor w. E. Davis has
drawn on the county treasurers OF
Kansas for 10 per cent Of the taxes
levied in 1912 to meet the states eX-
penses for this month. With the
September drawing there remains in
the county treasures but Is per cent
of the 1912 taxes with which to meet
the states bills until January /.
According to a statement made re-
Gently by Auditor Davis, it will be
necessary to draw additional 10
per cent of the taxes in October. That
will leave but ) per cent of the taxes
with which to meet the November
bills About $4,000 is required to
pay the states expenses for one month
and per cent of the taxes is about
S135OOO With fees which will be
received this fall, it is believed that
the November deficit can be met.
Then there is nothing left for Deceln-
Der.
To meet the December accounts, it
is probable that a draft will be drawn
on each of the county treasurers for
10 or Is per cent of the taxes levied
this year to meet next years expenses.
If these drafts, which will be drawn
about December 20, are met promptly,
the state may be able to close the
years business without stamping war
rants mot paid for want of funds"
But according to state house Off
Gals, it will be a close squeeze.

Court Says Only Safety and
Morals Are Concerned.
Ordinance Is Declared Illegal
and Unreasonable.
QUESTION IS 20 YEARS OLD
Supreme Court Opinion Rem
dered by Justice Johnston.
Has Been Immoral or
Objectionable.

The billboard" case was decided by
Judge Dana, Of the first division of
the district court of Shawnee county,
this morning in favor of the Crawford
Bill Posting company, and against the
city of Topeka. A restraining order
had been granted the city against the
bill posting company, restraining them
from completing the erection of a bill
board at Tenth avenue and Tyler
street, pending argument for and
against the issuance of an Injunction
Judge Dana not only denied the in
junction, but also held that the city
ordinance prohibiting the erection of
billboards more than ten feet high is
unreasonable and illegal and therefore
void.
In the matter of the specific bill
board in question the judge ruled that
the city had failed to support by evil
dence any of it's contentious. and fur
was whether or not there should be
any billboards in Topeka.
Court Went Into Detail.
The Judge went into the matter in
detail in giving his decision. He said
he could well understand how the
people living in some neighborhoods
might object to the presence of bill
boards, but that their objections were
based on those of taste, and that the
law could not take into consideration
the tastes of individuals; that the only
restraints that can be legally placed
upon the owners or lessees of property
are those relating to the safety OF
persons and adjoining property, and
of public morals, and that the evil
dence showed that the signs were
constructed according to an adopted
plan rendering them safe and that no
Objectionable or immoral matter had
ever been posted and that any which
would be posted would have to first
pass a board of censors. He held that
the evidence failed to sustain tine
sweeping allegation" that the bill
boards are public nuisance.
Settled Twenty Years Ago.
He said he might be inclined to leave
the case open for those who were in
terested in the prosecution of the suit,
were it an open question, but pointed
out that the questions involved had
been settled twenty years ago by the
supreme court of the state of Kansas in
an opinion rendered by Justice Johnston
and that this case had been cited in
practically every other billboard case of
importance in all the other states of
the Union; that these cases were in
Vulnerable and that with only two ex-
ceptions, all held as he was ruling in
the present case, and that the two ex-
ceptions noted had been ignored by all
other courts.
If property owner or lessee wishes
to erect livery stable, or a fence
twenty feet high or higher, or a bill
board on his property, there are only
three things to be considered from a
legal standpoint; the safety of persons
and nearby property and the morals of
the public.
''The court can not take notice of
individual tastes or architectural pref
erences of individuals" he said.

SULzER GIVES UP.
Acknowledges That He Is No Longer
Governor of New York.

Albany. Sept 20.-Compared with
it's activity in the earlier part of the
week, Albany was deserted city to-
day. Practically all of the principal
figures in the Sulzer impeachment
trial were out of town, the court of
impeachment having adjourned un-
til Monday and both houses of the
legislature until Thursday. No more
clashes between Governor Sulzer and
Acting Governor Glynn are anticipat-
ed after the governors letter of yes
terday acknowledging that he no
longer is governor. The governor
has not been at his offices in the capi-
tol for two days and it is said that he
will not return unless the court of
impea chment acqUits him. His coun-
sci has notified Acting Governor
Glynn that any attaches of the gov
ernor's office who may be of any
assistance to him are at his service.
Glynn will make no attempt to move
into the governors quarters, but will
continue to direct the states business
f, ON his temporary headquarters.
Governor Sulzer is maintaining alb
solute silence. Reports that he has
gone into "seclusion" are somewhat
exaggerated for he frequently appears
on the streets in his autOm obile but
he refuses to talk for publication.

BIG HOLE IN STREET.
Collapse of a Sewer Does Damage of
100000.

St Louis, Sept. 20.-A sewer seven
ty-f1ve feet long collapsed in the
northwest section of st. Louis today,
leaving a gap in the street that
reached from curb to curb and was
twenty-five feet deep. Gas and wa
ter mains in the neighborhood were
broken and the escaping gas fumes
forced persons living in houses near
by to leave their homes.
The pipes We're plugged to prevent
further escape of gas and scores OF
houses in the vicinity will be without
gas until permanent repairs can be
made.
Damage to the sewer and adjacent
property was estimated at 800 900. The
sewer was used to drain off surface
water. Men were set to work at once
to construct temporary drains to pre-
vent a flooding of large section of
the city in the event of a heavy rain.

Congressman Neeley May En-
ter u. s. Senatorial Race.
Democrats Guessing on His
Plans for the Future.
TROUBLE FOR IRONJAW BROWN
MurdOck'S Stand Means Big
Eighth District Fight.
PrOgreSsiveS Return to the Re-
publican Fold.

The home coming of Congressman n
George A Neeley of the Seventh dis
trict and the possibility that he may
unravel the Democratic United States
senatorial tangle before his return to
Washington is an important event this
week in the minds of Kansas Demo-
Gratis. Neeley's declaration-should he
make one-would aid some half dozen
ambitious Democratic politicians re-
garding their plans for the future.
Some weeks ago it was stated that
Congressman Neeley was coming home
with an ingrowing ambition to go to
the United States senate. If that re-
port was true, Neeley has succeeded in
nursing his ambition without taking
the entire Democratic party or very
many of his Immediate friends into
his confidence. And if the Seventh dis
trict representative really knew the
keen anxiety with which his statement
of future plans was awaited, he might
not dodge reporters with the zeal that
has been manifest since he returned to
Kansas.
Neeley is without question a strong
man. He has made a good record in
Washington and he has a toe hold on
the political affairs of the Seventh dis
trict that is hard to break Just at
present Neeley is perhaps the strong
est and most influential of any of the
Democratic members of the Kansas
delegation. And as Republicans don't
count for much under the present ad
ministration, that puts Neeley quite
near the top Of the Kansas list. In
fact, Neeley has accumula ted about all
of the honor and glory that can be at
tanned in the lower house. And now, it
is said, Neeley is trimming his sails for
the senatorial race.
To one man at least Neeley's en-
trance in the sena torial fight would be
a hardship. That man would be Speak

Sulzer Denies 1t.
Albany, Sept. 2O.-Governor Sulzer
denied today that he had recognized
the right of Lieutenant Governor
Glynn to perform the duties of acting
governor. Governor Sulzer's action in
transferring certain criminal business
to the attention of Mr.. Glynn, said his
counsel, had no bearing upon the
question of Sulzer's present status.
Governor Suizer,' said Valentine
Taylor, his personal counsel, CON
tinues to maintain the position which
has been argued by his attorneys be-
fore the court for the trial of i'm
proceedings against him ar null, void
and of no effect and that he is the
governor of the state, and that he is
now entitled to exercise all of the
functions of the office to which he
was elected"
The statement of Mr.. Taylor that
Governor Sulzer had not recognized
Mr.. Glynn came as a great surprise
to the office of the acting governor.
With the receipt of the communication
from the governors secretary yesterday
it was believed the right of Mr.. Glynn
to exercise the functions of governor
had been recognized. During this MORN

offered his services to the

There were over 200 people on east

majority of them were returning to

That a serious loss of life was avert

number of long trippers'' who were

The observation car remained in an
upright position, although every wheel,
according to passengers, had left the
rail, and the sleeper went down the en-
bankment endwise instead of rolling.
Many people were thrown from their
berths and slightly bruised.

CONSUMPTlVE LEAPS
OVER PRECIPICE

BRISTOL. VA. July 19.-Hurling
himself from the top OF sixty-foot
cliff. Angus Bolton, thirty-two years
old. and prominently connected.
sought instant death because he be-
lieved he was suffering from an in
durable disease.
Today Bolton was thought to be
dying. Doctors gave the opinion that
he had small chance TO survive his
injuries.
Bolton. who is the son Of John
Bolton. and formerly resided In vir-
ginia, has been suffering from tu-
berculosis in advanced stages. He
failed to show improvement after
submitting to the most modern treat
ment of tho disease and was facing,
he thought. q lingering death.
Yesterday he went to Miliigan.
Tenn, and prepared to put himself
out OF his misery. Ascending to the
top of the cliff he leaped off and was
dying when assistance reached him.
