The case was argued before Chan
cellor Sheehy last February, since
which time he has had it under ad-
yisement. Some weeks ago this paper
carried a news story from Jackson
Miss, to the effect that Chancellor
Sbeehy's action in so long Withholding
the decision was being complained or
and about to be made subject of legis-
Iative investigation. A later issue told
of the Chancellor going to Jackson and
explaining that he had held up the
decision pending receipt of briefs
which were to be filed by the attor-

Now comes the decision in the form
of a letter from the Chancellor ad-

the defendant. The defendant it will

the facts charged against them were

his Is years experience in Washington
he never had known of any attempts
to improperly influence members of
congress. He gave the names of 175

that none was lobbyist in the gen.

evidently get information for their or
ganizations. Their work is perfectly
legitimate. 1 have seen Mr.. Burgess
for the pottery interests here for years
and Mr.. Brown for the cotton people
Their work is perfectly legitimate as
far as 1 know.
My opinion is that the lobbyist is
principally a thing of the past. Con-
gressional committees pay little atten-

Senator Panrose thought that pro-
badly Winthrop L. Marvin, of Boston,
represented the wool people, in Wash

to learn if Marvin ever had anything
to do with fixing the tariff on wool,
or Brown with the cotton. Senator
PenroSe insisted the men did nothing
more than present arguments to sena-

had anything to do with making the

lars Over Last Year.
Work Began Today on S115,OOO
Shop Building.

The working capacity of the Santa
Fe railway shops in Topeka will be
increased by 200 men, meaning a
population increase of nearly 1000.
according to figures on the families of
skilled laborers, when the $115, 900 ad-

Workmen today began the preliminary
excavation for the foundation and the
clearing away of debris and materials.

by the extension to the north of the

The permanency of the biggest rail-

sealed even tighter by this extension
and by other authorized improvements

Increase in Topeka RayroII.
NJ. j. Drury, superintendent of shops
in Topeka, announced this afternoon
that in the last month at the Santa FNe
shops here the payroll was 20 per
cent heavier than it was one year ago
at this time. In the month of Nav
probably a little less than $160,00O
was paid out to the employees of the
shops. Nearly 1900 men are employ
ed-a good solid force for this time of
the season.
Furthermore, Superintendent Drury
has added fourteen hours a week to
the car repair department and five
hours a week to the other shop de
partments in preparing the motive
power and freight equipment for the
handling of the 1913 crops.
The recent authorizedy increase of
pay granted to the skilled laborers of
the shops has added $4,000 a month
to the Topeka shop payroll.
The Santa Fe does not reduce it's
forces in Topeka. That is, men are
not fired outright when business
slows UP. Instead, the roads accepts
designations from different depart
ments and does not fill in the places
of the employees. This system is most
satisfactory to the employeeS-it does
not throw anyone out of employment.
The road is able to keep down its
working force by simply allowing
designations and quits to take their
natural cO1IrSe

terms.

Representative S. c. Holbrook, of wy
andotte county, started the trouble
when he objected to the manner in
which Charles F. Scott, of lola, and
w. Y. Morgan of Hutchinson propos-
ed to declare allegiance to the Repub-
lican nominees in 1914. HoIbrook didn't
want any repetition of the 1912 cam
paign and frankly said that the declar
alton of allegiance was not nearly
strong enough. Holbrook lost that fight,
but he came back a few minutes later
and started a row that may keep the
committee tied up for the remainder of
the afternoon.
1t was when Scott, Morgan and Os-
car Fagerberg of Pottawatomie coun-
ty, proposed to deal only in glittering
generalities that Holbrook again OBJ
jected. He voted that the resolutions
should set forth in some manner of
detail the program for next year.
Turn down this plan,'' said Hol-
brook ''and you hand victory to the
Democrats next year on a silver plat
ter
Scott couldn't see it that way.
Neither could Morgan.
Fagerberg was uncertain and Will
liams of Sedgwick and Gilman of
Leavenworth admitted they didn't
know about it.
But Kretsinger of Lyon and Null
1aney of Hill City Joined the Wyan-
dotte warrior and the fight was on.
Holbrook wanted the initiative and
referendum and the recall and a few
other Progressive principles incorpor-
ated in the resolutions. Finally Hol-
brooks motion was laid over. Then
the Wyandotte Progressive offered a
substitute set of resolutions, but they
were also given temporary rest.
Robert Stone of Shawnee was in
vited to speak and was inclined to
agree with Holbrook that the resolu
tions should not be too general in their
terms.
At $3.50 the committee was still
working and there wasn't the slightest
indication as to when the wordy war
would close
At that time the committee voted
to incorporate in the resolutions the
endorsement of the 1. and r. and re-
call and Holbrook's resolutions stood
a fair chance of winning. His big
fight is already won and the progress
sive measures which he endorsed have
been adopted.
The committee, however, had agreed
on a portion of their resolutions. The

RAINFALL WAS LIGHT,
But Weather Man Holds Out Hope for
More Soon.

1t is cooler today. For the first time
since the sizzling weather struck Topeka
last week the temperature Is down in
close proximity to the normal point; it
is Just one degree above normal today
The wind is blowing at the rate of fifteen
miles an hour from the northeast.
The forecast indicates that the weather
Wednesday will be cool and pleasant.
There will be some coluds; but the chances
for rain are slight. However, the
weather man give promise of conditions
conducive to rain by the last of the week.
The rain Monday in the southwestern
part of the state was a help, but accord
ing to the weather bureau it was not
sufficient to give relief for more than
few days.
The report of the bureau for the twenty
four hours ending at seven o'clock this
morning reads: Light to moderately
heavy rain has fallen in southwestern,
southcentral and southeastern Kansas and
heavy rain in southwestern Missouri, but
no rain is reported from northern Kansas
or northwestern Missouri. The sky over
the district was mostly cloudy this morn
ing. Temperatures have averaged about
normal at all stations"

That the sting Of the wasp, which

rather than kills 1t Is we'll known.
The victim remains alive in the bur-
row or cell in which the wasp stores It
as food for the larva which will
emerge from the egg laid in the same
cell. Therefore the newly Matched
grub finds ready for it a provision of
living meat instead Of decayed car

fact in the history Of the glowworm

at leisure and predigested. This beetle.
whose brilliant phosphorescence at.
tracts the eye in the dusk of the sum-

seizes upon a certain small snail in or.

The curious thing Is that the beetle
a~naesthetizes the mollusk at the first
attack, preventing it from escaping by
withdrawing to safety deep within its
shell. Upon finding the snail tho
beetle dashes forward and, thrusting
out its sharp, curved mandibles, re-
peatedly stabs the side of the body Of
its prey. After a few punctures the
snail becomes insensible and remains
in that deadened state for three or

CAUGHT THE CAPTAIN.
He Was Not on tho Early Morning
Job, but tho Kaiser Was.

He Was Not on the Early Morning
Job, but tho Kaiser Was.
Some time ago the kaiser heard that
q captain in one of the guards regi-
ments at Potsdam had fixed the regu-
lation hour Of schooling for his men at
6 o'clock in the morning. The kaiser,
though doubling the fitness Of such an
early hour for the lesson and the abil.
ity Of a popular young officer to keep
up to this rather exacting standard of
early rising, said nothing. but one day
walked into the barrack room at 6
o'clock.
The captain was not there, but the
emperor showed neither annoyance nor
surprise. He asked where the lesson
was to be found in the books, and
without more ado, to the mingled anx-
iety and delight of the men. he took
the lesson in hand and explained the
passage in history which was the SUBJ
ject Of the day. 1t was nearly Z o'clock
when the captain showed himself. The
kaiser returned his salute and made no
allusion to his crestfallen c~ountenance,
but handed him the lesson book after
pointing out how far the class had got
and then left the room.
Nothing more was said or heard
about the incident until a few days
later, when the captain received a
handsome alarm clock. evidently from
the kaiser. What the officer wrote in
his letter of thanks for the gift is not
recorded -"lreland's Own"
