home in Italy.
The man has been seriously III at
the jail, and about two weeks ago was
taken 10 IL local hospital, where he was
given attention. He refused 10 take
stimulauts or medicine, and the physi.

for the man to be returned TO the jail,
as he would probably die. He suffer-

man who stayed with him one morn
Ing went TO the jailor and reported
that the man was dead, but it was la.
ter discovered that he had merely
lapsed into coma, and that he was still

WORK MEMS LAWS
Joint Commission Will Investi-
gate Compensation Act.
Engaged in Nationwide Effort
to Learn Mode of Operation.

New York, Oct. 6.-The joint COM
mission created by the National Civic
Federation to study the operation of
workmens compensation laws of the
various states and which has just re-
turned from Massachusetts,, Wiscon-
sin, Michigan, Ohio and Illinois, where
conferences were held with state Off
cials administering the compensation
laws and with employers and workmen,
today commenced it's inquiry as to
the operation of the compensation act
of Kansas by sending letters of in
quiry and questionnaires to employers,
labor organizations, employers asso-
Citations, and other trade bodies.
In explaining the reason for the in
quiry into the operation of the Kansas
compensation act, Cyrus w. Phillips,
the chairman of the commission, gave
out the following statement:
THE commission is engaged in
nationwide effort to ascertain the
facts with regard to the operation of
the various workmen's compensation
acts. 1t has the active cooperation of
both employers and workmen, and both
are represented upon the commission.
Two members were designated by the
American Federation of Labor.
1.-The purpose of the inquiry is to
furnish employers, employees and the
public generally a more definite and ex-
act knowledge of the benefits to be
derived from this great reform, assist
in it's further development along just
and sound economic lines, and aid in
securing uniformity of legislation IN
the different states. This will be
benefit not only to the states which
have not yet enacted compensation leg
islation but also to those states that
may desire to further develop existing
compensation laws in the light of the
experience of other states.
1.-The commission is attempting to as
certain among other things: The degree
of satisfaction that the compensation
act is giving; the reasons that have
prompted employers to either accept or
as compared with the cost under the
old liability law; the adequacy of the
medical treatment that injured en-
ployees are receiving; whether the cost
of medical treatment is excessive, and,
if so, what methods for reducing the
cost can be devised and at the same
time secure skilled and efficient treat
ment for the injured; whether Htiga-
ton has been decreased, and, if so, the
amount saved by state and municipal
governments as a result; whether in
case of injury compensation is paid
promptly and the injured properly pro-
tected in determining his right to and
the amount of compensation.
The commission is also studying the
extent to which workmen are protected
either by insurance or some other sat-
isfactory method against the insolven-
cy of the employer, the operation of
the different forms of insurance and
their effect upon the rights of the
employer and the workmen."

WORLDS SERIES GAMES
State Journal Will Cover Them in
Detail Same Day Played.

The Athletics and Giants will fight 1t
out this week for the baseball cham
pionship of the world, and as usual
the State Journal will cover each game
in detail, play by play, the same after
noon the games are played.
The interest in the worlds series
games seems to increase each year and
on account of the intense rivalry be-
tween New York and Philadelphia for
baseball, honors. the enthusiasm and
interest is now greater than ever be-
fore. This will be the third time these
same teams have met to settle the
worlds championship, and each having
won a series makes this rubber" series
doubly interesting.
The games will start at p. m. east
ern time, which is 1 o'clock Topeka
time and the first game is played to-
morrow. The score of each game will be
posted by innings on the State Jour
nails bulletin window as the game pro-
ceeds, as well as any feature plays,
and then in the regular edition of the
paper the game will be given in detail,
play by play, box score, etc.
The service will be the quickest pos
sible and almost instantaneous, the
Associated Press having unexcelled
facilities by direct wires to the play
ing fields and running directly into the
State Journal building.
The public is invited to watch the
State Journals bulletin board each aft
ernoon during the series; then read the
details in the paper, which will be is
sued shortly after the close of each
game.
If you want the score by telephone
during the progress of the games call
No. 2S4.

YUAN SHI KAI WINS.
Is Elected President of China on the
Third Ballot.

Peking. Oct. 6.-Yuan Shi Kai was
today elected president of the Chinese
republic for term of five years.
He received the necessary two
thirds vote of the United Houses of
parliament on the third ballot.
The second ballot resulted in vote
of 497 for Yuan Shi Kai and 162 for
Lii Yuen Heng. Another ballot was
, therefore necessary, sos votes being
required for election. Before the third
ballot was taken, Lii Yuen Heng who
is the provisional vice president de-
clared he would not accept an election
to the presidency.
The constitution of the republic pro-
vides at least Wo-thirds of the MEM
bers of parliament present must cast
their votes for a candidate in order to
accomplish his election. 1t also calls
for the presence at presidential cleo
ton of three-fourths of the members of
both houses.
In all parts of the country the great
est interest was manifested in todays
proceedings first presidential elec-
ton in the history of the new repup-
lie. The new president will hold office
for five years. When the united houses
OF parliament came together this morn
ing the resister recorded that 759 rep
resentatives were present. The first
ballot took a considerable time, owing
to the fact that the deputies and sena-
tors were not familiar with the pro-
ceedings. The candidates included, be-
sides Provisional President Yuan Shi
Kai, Tsi Yuan Heng, a dark horse can
didate; DR.. WI Ting Fang, former Chi
nese minister at Washington, and DR..
Sun Vat Sen, leader of the republican
movement.
Yuan Shi Kai first president of the
Chinese republic is 54 years old. He
was born in the province of Holman in
1859. During most of his adult life
he has been in office. At the age of
% he was sent with a Chinese detach-
ment to Korea and three years after
ward became Chinese imperial resi-
dent at Seoul. Yuan Shi Kai took a
prominent part in the reorganization
of the Chinese army on modern lines
and in the closing years of the empire
became it's most influential and DOW
erfu1 statesman.
In 1912 it was he who was given
full powers to arrange the terms of
abdication of the throne and to or
ganize a Republican government in
conference with the Repu ublican lead
ers. Shortly afterward in February
he was elected provisional president
of the republic.
