Uncle Sam Is in the Market for That
Number.

Kansas City. May 29.-More than
~ hundred horses and mules will be
bought by the Kansas City quarter
masters orrice for the army accord
ing to an announcement here.
The horses probably will be sent to
the border and few may be hurried
to Vera Cruz, by transport
The contracts will call for the ex-
penditure of about $25O,OOO. Six bids
were received by Captain c. E. Hawk
ms, chief of the inspection board. All
of them were from Kansas City and
east st. Louis firms. Circulars calling
for bids We're sent to Quartermaster
depots in Texas, Oklahoma, Virginia,
st. Louis and Chicago.
The kind of horses demanded BY
the army specifications is found prac-
tically only in the middle western
states
This is no emergency call for
horses" Captain Hawkins said today
"They really should have been bought
several months ago but the funds were
not available for them at that time
The delivery of most of the horses will
not be made for thirty days. If there
was a war scare we would have re-
ceived rush orders to get the horses

IT WAS A BANNER Year
Presbyterialls Expended $2,30S, 1O8 on
Foreign Missions in 1913.

Chicago. May 29.-The report of the
special committee on white slave traf-
fic was adopted without discussion by
the general assembly of the Presby-
terrain church in the United States. 1t
urged that the evil be eradicated by
strict enforcement Of municipal, state
and federal laws.
The report expressed doubt of the adj
visibility Of teaching sex hygiene in
public schools and parents were urged
to inform their children personally of
these things.
The assembly sustained the commit
tee on bills and overtures in recon-
mending that no action be taken on an
overture seeking to allow women to
serve as ruling elders. A recon-
rmendation that local presbyteries
should investigate the cases of minis
tiers sued for divorce was approved and
sent to all presbyteries for referendum
vote.
Foreign missions expended s. 1896, los
in the last year. according to the re-
! port Of the committee on foreign mis-
sions presented by DIR. 8. j. Niccolls
of st. Louis. making 1t the banner mis-
sion year and exceeding by 1904 900 the
sum expended the previous year.

move the State Historical society into
it's new quarters.
Appropriations, made by the legis-
lature, were: 1909, 100000; 1911,
$25O,OO0; 1913, $175,OO0.
But the added sums of these three
appropriations do not represent the
expenditures. The unexpended bal
ance of each appropriation reverted to
the general fund at each new appro-
priation. What the commission has
had to date is exactly $465,75S.75, In
Guiding the unexpended balance which
will be exhausted before July l. AS
the bill seemed to contemplate the
use of the entire sum recovered from
the government for the Memorial
hall, it would appear that the state
can still spend $56,772.70 on this good
work without snagging the Kansas
taxpayer a dime.
That war fund was purely velvet
when it came, and although a lot OF
the money was converted to otner uses
before the promoters of the memor1ai
idea could get into action with leg
fslature and as q consequence the
fund has been doled out in small sums
and the work of construction delayed
for want of funds, wonderful WORK
is nearing completion-a monument
to the hard work and unselfish atten-
ton of the builders, as well as 70 the
heroes Of the great Civil War;

ASK FOR 4 halt
Manufacturers Petition Wilson
to Check Legislation
Affecting Business Until Inves-
tigatiOn Is Made.

Washington. May 29.-Onicers Of
the National Implement and Vehicle
association, the Ohio Manufacturers
association and the Illinois Manufac-
turers' association called on President
Wilson today and petitioned. in the
name of their associations, that all
legislation affecting the business
world except the trade commission
bill be withheld, until a trade commits
sion could look thoroughly into the
business situation and make a report.
on which congress might enact laws
satisfactory to manufacturers and en-
p1oyees. Following the visit of the
following statement was given out at
the White House:
The Presidents Reply.
The president said In reply to the
Illinois delegation that In his 5udg-
ment nothing was more dangerous for
business than uncertainty: that 1T had
become evident through q long series
of years, that q policy such as the
Democratic party was now pursuing
was absolutely necessary to satisfy
the conscience Of the country and its
perception Of the prevailing conditions
Of business and that it was a great
deal better TO do the thing moderately
and soberly now than to wait until
more radical forces had accumulated
and it was necessary to go much fur
Their.
THE president also said that while
he was aware OF the present depres-
sion OF business there was abundant
evidence that it was merely psychology
ical; that there is no material condi-
ton or substantial reason why the
business Of the country should not be
in the most prosperous and expand
ing condition. He urged upon his
visitors the necessity Of patriotic CO.
operation on the part Of business men
Of the country in order to support
rather than to oppose the moderate
processes Of reform and to help guide
them by their own intimate knowledge
Of business conditions and processes.
HE told his visitors that it was his
earnest desire to serve and not to him
der or injure the business Of the coun-
try in any way and that he believed
that upon reflection they would see
that the course he was urging would
in the long run not only, but in the
short run also, be the wise and Service
able course"

Elmira, N. Y, May 2s.-The theory
of DR.. Samuel Pierrepont Langley,
who proclaimed to the world that he

BULL MOOSE PLANS.
No Amalgamatf0n With Republican,
But Fusion Is Invited.

Oyster Bay, May 29.-The program Of
the Progressive party In the. campaign
this fall as outlined thus far is under
stood to be as follows:
No amalgamation with the Repub-
lican party as such.
Fusion tickets in cases where candi-
dates accept the policies of the Progress
sive party and where the naming of two
candidates Of this description would
split the liberal vote.
Insistence on policies rather than
party names. and an endeavor to con-
solidate in every state the voters who
approve of the principles OF the Pro-
gressive party.
In New York state, the probable en-
dorsement Of the Republican candidate
for governor, provided he is man per-
sonally acceptable to the Progressives
and is willing to approve their platform
uneQuivocally,
While Colonel Roosevelt declined to
commit himself publicly to this pro-
gram, it was learned from an excellent
source that the Progressive leaders had
adopted tentatively the foregoing plan
of action.
The coloners conference with the Pro-
gressive congressman in Washington on
Tuesday and his series of talks at Saga
more Hill with Progressive leaders from
all parts Of the country since his re-
turn from South America have resulted
in clarifying what was a muddled situa-
ton.
Colonel Roosevelt met five New York
state PrOgressives.
The situation in New York, 1t is un-
derstood, is typical Of what may be
done in other states. In each case II
is planned to lay the emphasis on can
didates and policies rather than on
party labels. The efforts of the party
are to be directed toward putting into
power in as many states as possible.
| men who favor the platform Of the
party and whether they are Progress
sives or members Of another party, will
| be a secondary consideration.

KANSAS GRAIN men.
Ro-e1ect Smiley Secretary and Pre-
dict Big Wheat Crop.

Kansas city, May 29.-with predic-
tons for the largest wheat crop ever
known, the Kansas Grain Dealers as
ISOLATION closed its seventeenth an
A. H. Bennett Of Topeka was re-
elected PRESIDENT; Charles Walling-
ford Of Ashland. vice president. and
e. J. Smiley OF Topeka, secretary and
treasurer.
The Great Wheat Crop.
The wheat crop in Kansas this year
will be larger and of better quality
to the grain men. There are now ap-
proximately million acres OF grain
in the fields This is 100000 acres
more than was ever sOwn before.
Much attention has been. paid this
season to the exterminations of in
sects. which, in the past, have worked
great damage to growing wheat.
$50 to 200 Millions Estimated Yield.
The total yield of wheat is esti-
mated by grain dealers at from 100
to 200 million bushels. These esti-
mates are based upon the fact that
the acreage in Kansas this year is
larger than last. Reports received
by the Kansas board OF agriculture
justify these figures.
II have never seen wheat in better
condition than 1t is at the present time -
said e. ]. Smiley, secretary Of the as
ISOLATION. yesterday. II have travelled
all over the state. and in every section
the prospects are splendid. It would
be a great surprise to thousands of
farmers in other sections Of the coun-
try II they could see the strides which
Kansas has made to enlarge acreage
and to take care Of the numerous pests
which have hitherto injured the crops.
"All reports emanating from New
York city and other eastern or middle
western points to the effect that the
Kansas wheat crop has been badly
damaged by The Hessian fly and other
insects, are grossly wrong and mali
cious. The damage from this cause
this year has been much less than dur
ing any preceding season."
Directors Are Elected.
The grain men have been holding ses-
eions here this week since Tuesday
morning. No meeting place for next
year will be selected until a month be-
fore the date for the convention has
been fixed. The following directors for
the ensuing twelve months were elect
ed at the close Of the session: C. B.
Trip, Centralia; F. W. Cant. Alton; j.
w. O'Connor, Hartford; Edward M.
Kelly. Wichita: Ralph Bossemeyer, Su-
perior. Neb., and o. p. Ellis, Ayr, Neb.
