ISSUE Of THE FUTURE.
likely to BE Government Ownership
Of Railroads, Says Pr0uty.

Baltimore. Feb. 1S.@Judge c. A.
Prouty. in charge Of the physical val
uation of railroads by the govern
ment, declared in an address before
the Traffic club here that forces are
at work that will make government
ownership q big political issue in the
neae future.
''I am not forecasting or trying to
influence the decision Of the ratio
question:" Judge Prouty said. But I
say most positively there are forces at
work which will make government
ownership a big political issue in q
short time. # government ownership
comes it will be because the railroads
have not given satisfactory service.
They cannot give satisfactory service
without the necessary money.
Take for arguments sake, the val
uation of the railroads at $2O,UOO,-
100000. The roads declare they
should be allowed to earn per cent
on their investment. Most people be-
lieve 6 per cent sufficient. That
makes a difference of 100000, 900
the country will have to give railroads
controlled by private interests. Will
the country be willing to pay it?
THE thing for the railroads to do. -
the Judge continued. ''is to create
public sentiment in their favor. The
fair thing for the public to do is to
meet the railroads half way"

BRIST0W TO BAT
Critfcizes President on Suf-
frage and Canal Tolls.
Lodge and Owen to Defense of
Executive Policy.

Washington. Feb. 1&-The woman
suffrage constitutional amendment came
in for a talk but no action today in the
senate. Senator Bristow charged Presi-
dent Wilson with being Inconsistent
when he declined to favor suffrage be-
cause it was not treated in the Demo-
cratic platform; while he was asking
congress to repeal the Panauna tolls ex-
emptiop which the pHRtform favored.
The greed Of thasratlrcads and the
audacious claims OF Great Britain seem
tar more potent with our chief execu-
tive than appeals of women,' said he
Senator Sutherland declared the most
convincing argument for woman suf-
frage was the lack Of any persuasive
argument against it.
Lodge Defends President Also.
When Senator Owen took the floor
to defend President Wilson, the debate
turned from suffrage to Panama tolls.
He declared there was likely to creep
into a patty platform some plank not
fully digested and therefore no to be
regarded as conclusive upon the party.
That question had not been decided
upon by the national democracy said
he. Il say the conscience of no DEM
ocrat is bound by the platform, be-
cause 1t does not represent the sober
judgment of the party, but merely rep
resents what some persons, who found
themselves in a position to voice the
principles Of the party believed had
been determined upon.

RoBS EXPRESS AGENT.
Thief Obtains $1,000 and Gets Away
With It.

Peoria, Feb. 1S.-An unknown man
entered the Office of the Adams Ex-
press company at Pennington, Ill,
near here, at five o'clock last night,
slugged the express agent. c. L.
Brown, and escaped with a package
OF currency containing $1,000. con-
signed to the National Bank OF the
Republic at Chicago. Brown was
alone in. tho Office at the time. The
money was consigned by the banking
firm of C.. c. Steenberg & Co., OF
Pennington. The express Office is To-
Gated in the bank building and it was
here that the attack took place. The
robber entered the express office and
said that his name was Perkins and
that he was looking for an express
package.
When told that there was no pack
age for him, he struck Brown over the
head and beat him into unconscious
ness, then bound and gagged him.
Brown was found an hour later but
did not regain consciousness for two
hours. Physicians report that his
skull is fractured and he will prob
ably die from his injuries. He is un-
able to give a complete description Of
the robber. Police in the surround
ing towns have been notified and
bloodhounds will be placed on the
trail Of the robber as soon as they ar
rive.

CHANGED TO M'MURRAY
He Is Alleged to BE Instigator Of Plot
Against Gore.

Oklahoma City, Feb. 1S-The charge
that J. F. McMurray. an Oklahoma
lawyer now living in Washington,
planned the alleged conspiracy against
Thomas p. Gore, United States senator
from Oklahoma, which resulted in his
being sued for $4,000 damages. for an
alleged attack on Mrs. Minnie E. Bond.
was made in the trial here today.
Robert L. Rogers, an attorney for the
defense, in addressing the jury. said
several years ago McMurray sought
to prosecute claims for nearly s, 00O, 900
fees from Indians of Oklahoma in con-
nection with the transfer OF their lands.
He asserted Senator Gore opposed Nc
Murray's claims and in retaliation the
conspiracy had been planned.
sOklahoma has a home for such con-
spirators," he shouted. TT is over at
McAlester.' The state penitentiary Is
located at McAlester. Three attorneys
were to follow Mr.. Rogers but it was
expected the jury would get the case
late today.

NO FUNDS FOR Pen
Lansing State Prison Must
Ask for Credit.
Necessary to Pay e71,7Ss IN
Bills with @10,12O.
STATE OFFICIALS ARE WORRIED
Is Barely Enough Money to
Meet February Bills.
No Money Is Available Until
. July 1.
STATE OFFICIALS ARE WORRIED

By using all available funds, the
state penitentiary will barely be able
to meet its expenses for maintenance
during the current month and must be
maintained until July 1 without dol
lar available from any source. Prob
ably $6O.ea0 must be borrowed or
credit provided to enable the peniten-
tiary at Lansing to care for prisoners
during the remaining four months Of
the fiscal year.
At the present time there IL but
$16.120.07 available for prison uoe
from all funds. The appropriation for
the year of $106.000 is virtually ex-
hausted and there remains but 81 sos
Of this fund. which was expected to
for twelve months beginning with July
1. 1913. The contingent fund Of
$1,000 Is still intact and there IL
$9.411.O7 In the fee fund. But these
credit Of the penitentiary ana are but
little more than enough to meet the
actual expenses for this month.
Prison Costs $4,000 Month.
It costs the state about $4,000 q
month to maintain its penitentiary.
The January expense was S14.357. ac-
cording to figures in the ofice Of state
Auditor w. E. Davis. On the same
basis, it would cost the stata $71.7S5
to feed the prisoners, pay guards ana
employees and meet Incidental rum
ming expenses during February,
March. April. May and June. And
there is but $16,120.07 available.
OF course there is apparently q rea-
son for the unusual shortage Of prison
funds this year. But that excuse does
not relieve the present embarrassing
situation.
Following the big prison fire in April.
1913, every possible dollar Of the matn-
tenance fund Of $105,000 was used to
replace the buildings. buy new stores
and rebuild the prison plant. As q re-
suit the funds are short and Auditor
Davis admit that embarrassment will
be occasioned in maintaining the
the fiscal year.
i The $1,609 in the maintenance fund
and the $9.411.07 in the fee fund are
| available for immediate use. The q, 90
! In the contingent fund can be used
only on approval Of the executive coun-
ell which will probably be called upon
at once to permit the use Of this

the penitentiary during the remain
der of the year. provision must b0
| made by the state to secure credit

wholesale and retail firms which fur
nish provisions for the penitentiary.
will probably be asked to hold their
bills until the 1915 legislature meets
and makes appropriation to meet
| these emergency claims. AS for tho
salaries Of employees, the state will
funds from private sources to pay the
employees or these men must trust to
the legislature to make payments one
year hence.

PIRATICAL METHODS.
Woman Describes q Bargain Counter
Rush to House Committee.

Washington. Feb. 1S.-Mrs. Chris
tine Frederick, Of Philadelphia, told
the house judiciary committee at a
trust bill hearing today about "pi-
ratical methods" in the retail trade
and declared cut prices on standard
articles were "a lure, a bait and a
snare to get women into stores to
buy something else. She described a
bargain counter rush.
"Once," she said. II was crowded
around a bargain counter, had my
pIexis torsus twisted out Of shape, dis
located my dorsal humerus. wrecked
my best hat. tore out the armhoie OF
a good waist, and got three yards OF
lace for which I paid only IS cents.
I'm my opinion it is as much ficti-
tious competition for dealers to cut
prices below cost to get sensational
value, as it is for the Standard Oil
company to sell below cost to drive
out q competitor"
BY permitting manufacturers to
protect their prices, she contended and
put standard goods for sale at every
convenient corner. the cost of living
would be reduced

Won't Come to. Topeka.

Having Cancelled his date here once
before. Paderewskf has again post
poned his coming to Topeka. A wire,
followed by long distance telephone,
was received last night from the pian-
lists manager in Lincoln, Neb. Pader-
ewskt will not play in Topeka tonight.
Tne auditorium, with a seating ca
pacity OF $500. was almost sold out,
Special trains had been arranged by
various railroads. All social dates in
Topeka had been eliminated. Last de-
tails had been planned-seats re-
arranged in the auditorium and a COW
cred way prepared for the artist from
his dressing room to the stage. Thou
sands Of dollars worth Of tickets had
been sold.
Paderewski is reported to have can
celed his Denver engagement thirty
minutes before the performance. He
refused to play because the house was
not entirely filled.
His Topeka engagement was broken
less than "a hours before his sched-
uled appearance. The wire was re-
ceived by Mrs. Jean Parkhurst Guet-
tier at IL o'clock last night. The pian-
lists manager stated that Paderewski
would come to Topeka the early part
Of April.
Paderewski Concert Is Postponed.
A wire was received after mid
night by me announcing the postpone
ment Of the Paderewski concert
scheduled for this evening. His man.
ager positively promises a date early
in April, the same week that he ap-
pears in Kansas City. Tickets for
previous dates will be good for the
concert at that time. On account OF
Paderewskis recent illness in Califor-
MIA, he has been trying to catch up
with numerous dates and his mana
ger booked him SO fast that he final
ly called a halt, and positively re-
fused to play three nights in success
sion.
The local management regrets this
action very much, but it is thing
over which they have no control

Editor Henry c. Sticher's lightning
changes from Republican to Bull
Mooser to Democrat have excited the
suspicious Of Usage City Democrats and
business men and they are circulating
petitions rmonstrating against the edi-
tors appointment as postmaster. In

Of the Usage City Free Press in the
coming campaign in exchange for the

Office.
Sticher is said to have candidly dis
cussed with business men his plan to
succeed the Republican postmaster.
When Sticher was told by leading DEM
ocrats to keep out Of the fight, he is
said to have replied that he had been
assured of the appointment and that
opposition to his candidacy would re-
suit in his papers support Of Lyndon in
the Usage City-Lyndon county seat

are on the war path. Not only have
they circulated petitions demonstrating

PICKING THE CITIES.
New York, Chicago and st. Louis Ger
tain to Be Rerserve Centers.

Washinzton, Feb. 18.-With the re-
turn Of the reserve bank organization
committee today, active work began on
the definition of the geographic limits
of the reserve districts and selection OF
cities for reserve banks.
Under the law, national banks, re-
quired to enter the system or eventual
ly give up their charters, have until
February %, to signify their intention
to. become members. Although only
300 national banks of the $500 re-
had not taken such action, it was un-
derstood the committee would with
hold announcement Of cities and dis
tricts until the time limit expired.
Although the committees trip
through the country may have changed
its opinion of the proper location OF
several banks, it is not doubted here
that banks will be placed in New York.
Chicago and st. Louis, central reserve
cities in the present national bank sys-
tenn. The location of the others was
still regarded today as an open Ques-
tion.
While the committee is working out
that problem. its members will consult
with President Wilson about the make
up of the federal reserve board, the
organization which is to govern the new
system.
The per onnel of this board is Of
great interest in banAing circles and
it is known that President Wilson has
examined all the names suggested.
with the closest scrutiny. Five persons
are to be chosen by the president, be-
fore the board is complete. but it u
understoo all the names will be sent
to the senate for confirmation at the
same time.

With Its Furnishings and Rare

Jericho. L. l.. Feb 18.-The country
home Of Mrs. VIM. K. Vanderbilt. jr..
valued, with it's furnishings and art
treasures. at nearly $1,OO0,OOO, was de-
stroyed today by fire. The only occu-
pants were a caretaker and servants
left to look after the property.
The caretaker attributed the blaze to
an overheated furnace. The fire de-
partments Of Hicksville and Westbury
were called out but on account of the
snow clogged roads were unable to drag
their apparatus to the scene. The house
was built last year at a cost of $40O, 900
and later additions cost $100, 900 more.
1t had 60 rooms. The walls were hung
with rare tapestries and valuable paint
ings.
Mrs. Vanderbilt was at her New York
residence today. She had not been here
since before Christmas but the house
was kept always ready for her use. She
planned to come here Saturday with a
house party and retinue of servants.

HUDSON BLOCKED BY ice
An Effort to Open Up . Channel Have
Failed.

New York, Feb. 1S.@The ice block
ade in the Hudson river between New
York and Yonkers remained intact to-
day, and the federal authorities con-
fessed themselves helpless to remedy
the situation. A coal famine threat
ened Yonkers and LOO men employed
at the federal sugar refinery there,
faced the prospect Of idleness. Captain
John F. Wild, district commander Of
the United States revenue service, re-
ported to Washington today, that the
ice had resisted the attacks of the cut
ter that tried to force q channel, and
that special ice breakinf steamers
alone could cope with the situation.
Captain Wild said no attempt to use
dynamite would be made.
The surface of the river was jam
med with broken ice cakes from 160th
street. in this city. north to where
solid sheet ice began. Such an ice
jam is unusual in the waters near
New York and there are no ice break
ers in the local harbor. The revenue
cutters, while strongly built to with
stand the assault Of storms at sea, are
not fitted to ram ice. The lower har-
Dor presented an arctic appearance to-
day and incoming steamers found nav
igation slow and dangerous.
