COME TO KANSAS.
Standard Oil Refinery at Sugar Creek
Could Be Moved Across Line.

Kansas City, April 10.-'Nothing re-
mains to keep the Standard in Mis-
souri, except the state supreme court,
which has under consideration petit
ton for rehearing of its custer de-
cree said Frank Hagerman, counsel
for the Oil company when informed
Governor Major had vetoed the bill
permitting the company to continue
business in Missouri. Mr.. Hagerman
said if the supreme court did not
come to the rescue the oil plant at
Sugar Creek and other property IN
the towns throughout the state would
be moved away. 1T is not improbable
said Mr. Hagerman, that the Sugar
Creek refinery will re-eStabl1sh in
Kansas just acros sthe line.
TT is not improbable that it Will
dismantle the plant at Sugar Creek,
that is of course, only in the event
the supreme court does not modify its
order of custer, and establish another
on the Kansas side. 1t will use what
machinery it can and confiscate the
rest. The company has been waiting
for the outcome of this controversy to
double it's plant and invest an add1-
tionaI three million dollars in this
territory.
1t was said by one attorney for the
Standard today that the company mad
obtained an option on quarter sec
ton of land in Wyandotte county,
Kansas This land is being held for
an emergency.

TRY TO SAVE CITY
Special Train of Steel Is Being
Rushed to New Orleans.
Strengthen the Embankments
Against Rising Mississippi.

Pittsburg, Pa. April 1O.-A special
train loaded with steel piling left
P1ttSburg at express speed this morning
withthe hope that it will reach New
Orleans in time to save that city from
the rapidly rising waters of the Missis-
sippi. When it became evident that
the flood waters of the Ohio and it's
tributaries would endanger the levees
on the lower Mississippi, the govern
ment placed an order with a Pittsburg
mill for steel piling to be used in
strengthening the entertainments. Every
man and machine that could be pressed
into service were put to work in the
mill and the order was filled last night.
The II cars were loaded before day
break and ten minutes later, with an
engine at one end and caboose at
the other, the train dashed away.
Every mile of track in front of it
is to be cleared to avoid a moments
delay and what is expected to be
record freight run is under way
The government officer in charge of
the train expected to cover the dis
lance in time to beat the flood waters
to the points endangered. There every
preparation has been made to run the
cars to the exact spots where the pill
ing will be drivtn.
Hopeful of Holding Levees.
New Orleans. April 1O.-Captain
Sheriff. announced this afternoon that
if the levees held, the water now in
sight indicated a stage of 22.5 feet
at New Orleans about May, or six
inches more than the record flood stage
of last spring. This would give stages
ranging from one to two feet over
last years record at points between
New Orleans and Vicksburg.
Captain Sheriff. still is hopeful of
holding the levees intact below Vicks-
burg. Although engineers are not in
the least apprehensive. about the levees
in and about New Orleans long
stretches will have to be topped with
Sandbags and earth.

Donald Brian, star in the Siren
ton department store and later es-
taught singing as a boy member of
en- church in the Hub. He also de-
veloped into an unusually good ath-
lete and was noted mile runner with
Massachusetts, capital This athletic
training has stood well for him in his
dancing in recent years. for Brian
possesses a degree of endurance that
few stage dancers can boast.
His first experience in the theatrical
game came when he Joined the Boston
City Quartet. Later he trouped with an
unimportant aggregation in the pre-
sentation of a piece called Shannon
of the SIXTH Later he attracted the
attention of George M. Cohan and was
a member of the original company
playing tForty-Five Minutes from
Broadway" 1t was while in this piece
that he was observed by Henry w.
Savage and 4. entrusted with the role
of Prince Danilo in the original pro-
duction of 1.-The Merry Widow" Brian

Efforts on the part of Mayor Fuhr-

from the company's side. William D.

a board of arbitration. President Con-
nette of the railway, conferred with
the mayor, but neither would divulge
what passed between them.
The fact that the calling of more

CHARGE OF TREASON.
Mexican Department Will Investigate
Alleged Action of Luis Rojas.

Mexico City. April 1O.-Growing out OF
the charges that Luis Rojas, second vice
president of the chamber of deputies, is
reported to have filed at Washington that
the American ambassador, Henry Lane
Wilson, was morally responsible for
the death of Francisco Madero and Plpo
Suarez, the department of justice has in
structed one of the civil courts to invesu-
gate allegations that Rojas is guilty or
treason.
If the court decided that there are
grounds for a trial, congress. of which he
is a member, will be asked to remove the
exemption from arrest. The accusation is
based on the report that Rojas requested
the United States to take steps to save
his life. This is construed a request
for Intervention.

The Marriage of
Helen Gould

The marriage of Miss Helen Gould,
whose wealth ia estimated at 100000
900, to F. J. Shepard, whose fortune
is comparatively insignificant, is an
other illustration of the attitude of
Miss Gould s entire life toward money
and all that goes with it. Known
throughout the country for her nnmer
Gus philanthropies and her interest in
the affairs of those less favorahly sit
nated in life, her selection of a life
partner without means is not surpris
ing. With wealth sufficient to de-
mand place in society, she has pre-
ferred to step into the places of the
lowly, there to lend hand personally
wherever her assistance could bring
cheer or comfort to the needy. The
list of her philanthropies includes
many enterprises for the betterment
and uplift of her fellowmen. The Y.
M. c. A., the rescue home, the tene-
ment districts all have felt the influ-
ence of her character as well as her
money. She has been prominent in ma
tional affairs for the betterment Of
her sex, and in everything undertaken
has been an inspiration for the better.

1t is related that a war correspond
emit in the Balkans, while picking his
way among slain Turkish soldiers after
hard battle, came upon some cart
ridge eases and was moved to give
them a close examination. He found
that the case was of steel and the pow
der apparently of good quality, but the
bullets were small pieces of painted
wood. Upon inquiry he found that
these cartridges were furnished for
practice shooting and had evidently
been mixed, through mistake or design,
with the regular army bullets.
In theslight of late developments in
the Balkans the incident may be taken
as symbolical of the entire struggle OF
Turkey for the maintenance of her ma
tional integrity. Forced into war by
her own acts of cruelty, with dissen-
sions within her own ranks, without
the organization that should keep her
army the fearless fighting machine it
once was, she has been fighting with
wooden bullets while the enemy met
her with the best weapons of modern
warfare and united purpose. Today,
beaten and Inundated, Turkey is still
