greatest weakness of the infield is at
short, where Stumpf is playing in
place of Derrick, temporarily out on
account of injuries. Midkiff is an ag-
gressive youngster at third, and
should improve. The outfeld is a
good aggregation, but another catch
er is needed to assist Ed Sweeney.
Gradually the pitchers are rounding
to form, and by the time the team
returns home Chance should be able
to start a winning streak that will
lift his huskies out of last place. The
team looks every bit as good as st.

Though not actively in the game,
the P. L. is one of the gingerest men
on the team. He is coaching on the
first base line this year, something he
did not do with the Cubs, and is
encouraging his players. Whenever

MORGAN STOCK LIST.
Veteran Banker Left Queer Medley of
Securities.

New York, July 12.-The late ]. P.
Morgan left a queer medley of Sc
curities.
His executors have supplied a list of
his holdings, all of which they are hav-
ing transferred to them.
The truth must be, he carried i'm
portant blocks in the name either of
his firm or dummies, for although the
list covers more than 100 companies,
the total value is not at all commensu-
rate with the popular notion about the
veteran bankers enormous wealth.
Not one block of great size is disclosed.
The list suggests he allowed his
heart rather than his head to sway
him in making purchases.
To Hartford he was loyal. His native
city's insurance companies, its financial
institutions and its carpet works all
enjoyed his support.
OF the billion dollar steel trust
which he brought into being, he owned
one share-that is all. one solitary
share of preferred. Yet he dominated
the company absolutely.
His railroad holdings are compare
lively puny.
Among the principal holdings are
$500 Southern railway common and
AIS preferred worth about s15O,000 2,1SS
shares of New Haven, worth S215,0O0
and only 80 Boston and Maine and
1.279 shares of the New York Central
worth about $120, 900.
OF his friend J. J. Hills road, the
Northern Pacific. he owned two shares.
OF Illinois Central he had the same
number.
His industrial holdings included 2,142
shares of American telephone, the
head of which. Theodore n. Vail, was
among the few men Morgan regarded
az geniuses. Another was John Chaflin;
therefore it is natural that 1000 shares
of H. B. Chaf1in stock should figure on
the list His holdings of Hartford
Carpet corporation stock aggregated
1900 shares. mostly preferred
Bank and Trust company securities
sprinkle the table. Mr. Morgan took
special pride in the Bankers Trust
company the youthful managers of
which included some of his bright.
particular stars in the banking world
and on which he drew for partners.
He held 1880 shares of this company,
worth some $500, 600.
In his friend George F.. Bakers in
stitution. the First National Bank, he
held $50 shares having a market value

JOHN BROWNS ANGEL,

A great big tear trickled down the face
OF John Brown, small barefooted boy
who lives at 1903 North Topeka avenue,
and who is not yet ten years old. He to-
gether with his two brothers, William
and Maurice, aged ten and twelve years
respectively, had applied at the office of
the Central Y. M c. A. to be taken out
to the camp for poor boys on the Stone
and he had been told that he was too
young to be included.
G. T. Miller, who was in the room, was
touched when he saw the disappointment
of the youngSter, and said: Til stand
responsible for the boy; I'll pay his ex-
penses. don't want to see the little fell
low left behind
1t was agreed that he should go-and
his brothers, too-and there is not a hap
pier boy in Topeka today than little John
Brown.

ROOM FOR HIGH SCHOOL
Latest Plan Is to Erect Addition to
Manual Building.

The latest plan for relieving the crowded
condition of the high school is to erect a
building to cost approximately $4,000 i'm
mediately west of the manual training
building to take care of the shop and
forge work of the manual training de-
partment.
1t may be several months before a build
ing Is erected-possibly it will not be done
until next summer-but members of the
board have expressed themselves as favor
ing the plan.
The building probably will include a
room for the storage of lumber and equip
ped with machinery which will make it
possible to cut the lumber into desired
lengths This would mean a great saving
TO the board of education. The students
of the manual training department could
do the work in planning. Constantly, re-
pairs are needed at the school buildings
and the cost of lumber is no small item
Three big rooms in the manual training
building could be used for class purposes
provided the building is put up.
Another plan that has been considered
is the erection of an addition to the high
school building which would cost about
$4,000 and which would include an en-
larged assembly room and a gymnasium
The first plan is the one that is now
meeting with special favor.

Lola Shaffer of Auburdale Sustains a
Fractured Skull.

Lola Shaffer, the year old daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. Arthur Shaffer,
222 Circle street, was seriously in
jured about 8 o'clock last night by a
bicycle. The little girl was going
home to deliver a message, and was
walking on the sidewalk when two
boys rushed down the walk on BIZ
cycles. One of them struck the girl
with the wheel, according to bystand-
ers, and knocked her unconscious. 1t
happened on a corner, a little way
Immediately carried. She did not re-
vive until early this morning.
Auburndale is excited because of the
continued bicycle riding on the side
walks instead of the streets. ]. w.
Mitchell has brought the matter be-
fore the mayor and the police depart
ment, with the view of forcing the
city to protect the women and children
from the reckless bicycle riders. Many
of the people of Auburndale say that
men and boys have been riding on
the sidewalks there for several months,
making the foot passengers ge off
when they approach. The accident
last night was the climax and the in
habitants of that district. say that
they will tolerate it no longer.
Other parts of the city are just as
bad in that respect. although the po-
lice have arrested scores of offenders
