no CHANGE now
Frantic Efforts to Increase
Pitching Efficiency.

The showing of the Topeka baseball
team has been a disappointment to the
local management The officers of the
association state today that they have
faith In the ability of the members OF
the present lineup. The management
believes the players will soon hit their
stride and win games which will entitle
them to a berth in the first division.
Dale Gear. manager. and A. M. Cat
lin, president of the local association.
are doing everything possible to change
conditions. Manager Gear Wednesday
signed Pitcher Helmberg, who was with
the Lincoln club last yeCr, for trial.
He Is after two other pitchers whom he
believes to be high class men and also
is negotiating for a hard hitting in
fielder.
Pitcher Ralph Glaze, the old major
league star, has been disappointment
and probably will be released. Pitcher
Haislip has worked up to expectations
but will be given more time to get in
condition and show his ability.
Manager Gear and Mr.. Catlin have
explicit confidence t. the ability of
Pitchers Brown, Clarke. Higginbotham
and McGrath. They believe that every
one OF these men will be consistent win
ners as soon as they hit their stride.
The fans hope the stride is not far
distant. Gear expects Clarke and Hig-
ginbotham to show up good in the next
games they start.
There have been rumors of sale and
change in the management Of the club
but this was emphatically denied this
morning by President Catlin. Rumors
have it that Dick Cooley will buy the
club and other rumors are that he would
only become the manager, but this is
denied emphatically.
Mr.. Catlin admits the poor showing
OF the club has been due to poor pitch
ing, and only in a few games have the
Kaws failed to get their share of runs
in proportion to the number of hits
gathered. One Of these was Wednes-
day in the opening game at Omaha.

FIRST Time IN PRISON
Eleven Hundred Inmates, all Proudly Wearing White Car

Participate in Impressive Services
Held at Both Prisons.


that came to eyes the first time per-
haps for years: they were gracious
drops which denoted the tenderness
of hearts touched by memories OF
happier days, and thoughts of home
and mother.
We were all naturally very much
disappointed when Rev. Mccoy an
nounced that 1t would be impossible
for Warden Wolfer to address u.s.
but we knew his heart was in the
meeting even if business kept him
away.
Following the services the usual
Sunday drill was held and the men
presented a splendid appearance
each wearing his carnation on his
left breast.
Letters Home to Mother
The afternoon was as usual spent
in the cells where each inmate could
take unto himself the thought in
spired by the days observance.
Never have so many letters gone
out of this prison in one day 1dress-
ed to mothers, every man with a
dear mother living remembered her,
many sending the program as a
souvenir and to show that her boy
was thinking of her. even here in
prison. Thus was joy brought to
many mothers heart, and if the
day did no more than that, it was
well worth the effort to make it the
grand success that it was.-We all
felt better for being privileged to
observe it, and in being able to give
expression to our love for mother
by wearing a flower in her honor
and in her memory.

At The Old Prison
Mothers Day One of Most Notable In History
of The Institution
By Beau Esprita

Sunday morning, May 10th, the
rising gong in the old prison cell.
house sounded at 6:45 as usual
Hardly had the last vibration ceased
when Captain Vollmer was on the
galleries with crew of men to dis.
tribute the Mothers Day flowers
provided by and through the efforts
of the Mirror. At each cell door a
halt was made while the occupant
was handed long perfecl
white carnation and pin with
which to fasten it to his coat. The
penetrating fragrance of the flowers
soon filled the cells and corridors
and breathing this fragrance, look
ing on the pure, tender beauty OF
these mother emblems, ones thoughts
were lifted above the monotonous
routine, out of the common ruts
so often sorrowful, some times SO
pathetically bitter. A breath OF
purer. nobler atmosphere. this,
the penetration into our lives of a
new realization. a fuller appreciation
of the highest of human influences,
the Mother-Spirit.
As the men filed into the dining
rooms for breakfast and seated them
selyes, the walters stood at attention
on either side of the entrance doors,
each with carnation pinned to the
breast of his white uniform. There
was a subtle change apparent in the
atmosphere and carriage of the men.
Faces and eyes were brighter, shoul-
ders were thrown back evident here
was not alone the desire to do honorto
the spirit of the day, but the resolve
to make this day the forerunner of
the better days to come. The writ
erh has been for six years past among
those confined. He has seen the
men whom society has dubbed out
cast" respond to the spirit of spe-
cial occasion more than once. He
has seen truly Merry Xmas in
prison, though you may find it hard
to believe. New Years, Easter. the
patriotic holidays touch responsive
chords in the hearts of us behind the
bars even as they do of you without.
But it remained for Mothers Day to
bring out the men here at their best.

1t is beyond my poor capabilities
to describe to you adequately the
emotions which stirred us. l can
only wish that you might have seen

Evening Post Col
NEW YORK, May l6.-On the stock
exchange the movement Of prices
came virtually to a halt today, with
most stocks a trifing fraction under
yesterday. European markets were
irregular, and had no influence. There
was no news TO affect the market, ex.
cept for the continued optimism at
Washington regarding the Mexican
situation, and the evidence that Huer.
Ia was seeking TO avert the most re.
cent ground for another special quar-
rel between his government and our
own.
Whether II means much or little,
the rather plain indication OF the
week just past has been that hope
fulness for a change towards better
things is beginning to prevail Ii is
quite In accordance with tradition
that the signs Of such altered mood
are first visible on the stock ex-
change, when IL concerns finance, and
in the steel trade when il concerns
general industry. From both direc-
tons there has come this week note
OF cheerfulness.
