Washburn Greets Presidents
Return With Celebration.
Marched Through Campus With
Waving Flags and Pennants.

Eight hundred Washburn students
armed with flags, remnants and w
banners of blue, welcomed the visit OF
Mr.. Frank Knight Sanders to the col
lege campus this morning. Giving the
college yells, songs and football battle
crys the students formed double line
from the College avenue gate to the
chapel and greeted President Sanders
as he walked down the path with
Dean McEachron, acting president OF
the institution.
Upon reaching the chapel, decorated
with the Washburn banner of the foot-
ball field, DR.. Sanders assembled the
steps to the accompaniment of the fam
Gus college song.
DR.. Sanders spoke to the students
after the preliminary celebration and
assured them that he still had the in
terest of the college at heart. He said
that he would spend a large part OF the
winter in completing important plans
in the east relating to the college and
it's growth.
After the speaking he stood in front
of the platform and the entire student
body filed past, each student giving the
president the WashbLrn grip-and pass
word.
DR.. Sanders stopped over in Topeka
after attending the national conference
of the Congregational church. He will
spend his winter in the east both in
the interest of Washburn and in lit
erary work that he has planned for a
number of wears

RETRENC HMENT POLICY
1t Tends to Cripple o. S. Attorneys
Office Here.

The office of L. S. Harvey, second as
sistant United States district attorney
will be abolished November L by federal
order. unless Attorney General Nc
REYNOLDS changes his mind between
now and that date. Under the re-
trenchment polity of the Wilson admin
istration, a man was sent TO topeka
last summer to inspect the local red
eral Offices After spending short
time in Kansas he returned to Wash
ington In his report to the depart
ment of justice, he recommended that
the office of second assistant attorney
and the stenographer for that office pc
abolished He is said to have told the
department that the work could be
done easily by Mr.. Robertson MI
Brady and Chief Clerk Stickel.
Soon after the return OF the depart
rnent inspector, Attorney General NC
REYNOLDS sent an order to Mr. Robert
son to close Mr.. Harvey's Office Ihe
order was to have taken erect on Aug
ust l. but Attorney Robertson Succeeu-
ed in having it amended to November
l. At present it is not known Whetner
the Washington authorities will per-
manently discontinue MT. Harvey po7
sition or not. rs
At this time the whole department,
Robertson and his two assistant attor-
news are working to the limit prepar-
ing for the Fort Scott term of the red
eral court which convenes November
10. If L. S. Harvey retires SATURDAY
of this week, it will mean that prepara-
lions for the Fort Scott session will
not be completed as thoroughly If Har-
very and his stenographer, Mrs. Scott
are forced out because of an economy
plan of the Democratic government
Another point raised with the at
torney general against the plan, is
I, - h.
for weeks at time while the Office
force is attending court in Leaven-
worth. Kansas City, Wichita, Fort
Scott and occasionally Salina. Mr.. Rob-
ertson, Mr.. Brady and Mr.. St1ckel nave
to be present throughout the entire SEES
sions, usually leaving the office IN
charge of Mrs. Scott. With Harvey
going, exit Mrs. Scott by federal order
That would mean that the attorney
offices would be barred from all, with
the possible exception of the janitors.
No business could be conducted except
through the city where the court will
be held.
L. S. Harvey was several times elect
ed county attorney of Miami county,
elected on the Democratic ticket when
the county was overwhelmingly Re
publican de removed to Kansas City,
Kan, about five years ago. In 1912 he
was a candidate for attorney general
on the Democratic ticket but was de-
feated According to Mr. Robertson he
has been an able assistant during the
months he has been in the federal
Offices.
The position of first assistant held
by Francis M. Brady, will not be af-
fected by the proposed change. There
is possibility that an order will come
from Washington permitting Mr. Har-
vey and his stenographer to remain, but
no assurance has reached Topeka to-

ANOTHER COMMISSION
Akers Fayors One for Registry of
Bonds-WouId Save Money.

State Treasurer Earl AkerS will ask
that the 1915 legislature enact law
creating a state sureties commission
to register all bonds. Revenue from the
registration of these bonds, Akers de-
clares will put half a million dollars in
the state treasury each year.
At the present time and under the
existing conditions, fat fees are paid
to brokerage firms for looking after the
registration and disposition of town
ship, school and municipal bonds. AK
ers would provide for the handling of
this business by the state at nominal
sum of rs cents per 81, 600. Thus $780,
900 bond issue would net the state
$3.50. The revenue from this source
would go to the general revenue FUND
of the state and not to exceed 81, 500 or
$4,000 a year would be necessary to
maintain the commission.
Under the plan as suggested by the
state treasurer, the treasurer, auditor
and attorney general would be ex-of-
ficio members of the commission, but
would draw no extra salary for their
services. The state would pay only for
the extra clerical help and that expense
would be nominal These officials are
already called upon to handle much OF
the work in connection with the filing
and sale of bonds, but there is no reVe-
nue. to the state. The Akers plan would
add virtually a half million dollars a
year to the state funds without a direct
levy or tax on the taxpayers.
There are at present outstanding
bonds in Kansas aggregating $50 mil
lion dollars, according to figures which
have been compiled by the state treas
urer.
Every year it becomes more appar-
ent that the state needs extra funds,
said Akers, but the question is how
to get this money without a direct taxa
ton. With state sureties commission
wOIlld receive fhOnSa
dollars in benefits without levying a di-
rect tax. On the other hand, the town
ships, school districts and municipali-
ties would dodge much of the expense

CORED BY A BULL.
Farm Hand on Walker Place Seriously
Injured.

Will Zurbuchen was badly gored by
a bull this morning on the o. e. Wal
ker farm near Gage park. He and
Walker had decided to make some re-
pairs in the barn. The bull was in it
and when the two men attempted to
drive him through the barn door, he
turned on Zurbuchen. The Infatuated
bull knocked him against the wall and
seriously injured his lungs and kid
neys. Walker saved his life by drag
ging him away and calling physician
at once.
DR.. A. B. Jeffrey attended to the
wounded man and he was taken to st.
Francis hospital. His wounds were
serious and painful but it is believed
that he will recover. He was i'm
proved greatly after he regained con-
seriousness.
That Zurbuchen did not lose his life
was due to the fact that the bull had
been dehorned recently. otherwise he
would have died almost instantly by
the attack of the bull

THE NICHOLAS CASE.
Bob Tasker, Witness, Nearly in
Contempt of Court

Bob" Tasker, register of deeds,
came near being charged with con-
tempt of court when he was sum-
moned to appear as a witness in the
Nicholas damage suit Tasker was in
the dentist chair when his subpoena
was served by the undersheriff The
dentist, having extracted a nerve, was
brandishing it approvingly on a pair
of pincers. The register of deeds was
writhing in agony.
"H-hang the court" he suffered,
but later appeared and produced the
records and plats of the place where
Gertrude Nicholas stumbled over the
tracks of the Topeka street railway.
With clever attorneys on each side,
the case, which has occupied all week
in Judge Dana's division, is attracting
considerable attention. Ferry, Doran
and Dean are putting up a stiff fight
for the railway. Waters & Waters
are not missing a point for the plain
tiff.
The most important testimony for
the railway has been supplied by DR..
Mulvane, DR.. Bowen and DR.. Work,
each of whom asserted that Miss
Nicholas injuries might have resulted
from other cause than the accident
which occurred at Green and Sardou
streets, Oakland, the evening of Nov.
10, 1911.
The case was fought in the district
court two terms ago and resulted in a
verdict of $4,000 for the plaintiff.
who was suing for SIS, 900. The de-
cision was reversed upon a technical
ity and is being re-heard in the first
division this week.

IN SANDERS HONOR JAY HOUSE BACK
TOpekan Spent a Lively Month
on Pacific Coast.
Too Much to See, and He
Tried to See 1t All.

Jay House, having spent month
in the west, has returned to Topeka.
He says nobody'S glad to- see him;
he's sorry he's back; wouldn't have
come if he hadn't spent all his money;
only saw one show, which wasn't as
good as Chautauqua lecture; doesn't
see why he went west at the time of
the big league games; went to study
nature, but didn't see a thing. Except
for these trifiing considerations, Mr..
House is all right, and as CHEEKY as
ever.
He went to Chicago before he jour-
neyed to California. Tossed up to de-
eide whether he'd see Doris Keane in
Romance or the much muted
Damaged Goods" He went to the
latter-thinks it was like a lecture,
and a mighty unpleasant one. tRath-
err he = a Chautauqua any time he
declared.
En- route for the Golden State Mr..
and Mrs. House spent most of their
time on the observation platform.
Mr.. House remarks he tried to see
everything, but couldn't.
my wife would point out a tree or
a mountain. See that superb mani
festation, she'd say. Before 1 had
time to locate it, she'd turn me
around by the shoulders. Another
superb manifestation. I revolved like
merry-go-round. Didn't see a

The newspaper man is looking fine.
He's had a glorious trip and a big
vacation.
Mr.. House is pretty apt to say what
he thinks, but he doesn't always mean
what he says. He's really glad to be
back in Topeka, pounding away on
his trusty typewriter. And Topeka is
ready, as always, to give the glad
hand to bod CASTOR.
