Expect Thousands to Take
Out Hunters Licenses
During the Next Month

1t is expected that the registration OF
Pennsylvania hunters for 1914-1915
will rival that of last year. when APP
proximately 100000 hunters took out
the papers required to permit them to
hunt In addition il is estimated that
more than 100000 farmers their fam
lilies or their tenants hunted on their
own lands last year, taking advantage
of the provision in the law enabling
them to do so without being licensed.
The estimates are being based upon re-
ports made of the sale of licenses,
which is stated to have been heav I'm
a number of counties where the demand
was light at this time last year. 1t is
expected that there will be a big de-
mand for licenses early in October.

Congressman Kreider Shows How
Consumer Is Victim of Mis-
takes and Extravaganza

Washington, d. c., Sept. 26.-De-
claring the Democratic tax of $780,
100000 on the common people of this
country unnecessary and a hardship
that could have been prevented but
for the extravaganza of the Demo-
cratic administration at Washington,
Congressman Aaron S. Kreider made
yesterday one of the strongest
House this session. He quoted facts
and figures to prove his assertions and
at the conclusion of his address was
heartily congratulated by Republicans,
who said that for clear and concise
analysis of the situation nothing bet
ter had been presented in Congress
since the tax bill was introduced. In
part Mr.. Kreider said:
Opposed to Bill

bill ! am opposed to the lcvying of
extra taxes thereby placing an un-
necessary burden on the people. I wish
1t were possible to prevent tho passage
of this bin by this House. wish It

that we are passing through an indus
trial depression caused largely by the
laws we have already passed and the
greatest possible service this Congress
can render to the country is to repeal
about $57,000.000 of eXtravagant, un-
necessary and reckless appropriations
which we have already passed and then
adjourn. If we do this. we will not
need the revenue that Il is proposed to
raise by the War Tax Measure.

NEWlAND'S IDEA.
He Would Furnish Electricity for All
Topeka Consumers.

F. NJ. Newland. commissioner of
electric lights. declared this morning
that he was in favor Of the city sup
plying the electricity used in the
thousands OF Topeka homes. Mr.. New
land went SO far as to mention buying
out the Edison company. Numerous
persons are backing Mr.. Newland in
this resolve. Complaints concerning
the exorbitant prices charged by the
Edison company are great. The mat
ter was brought to a head by the re-
quest for an official investigation of
the Edison company's books.
Undoubtedly municipal ownership
Of the plant supplying electricity to
Topeka homes would be an excellent
plan." said Mr.. Newland, "but it would
involve a tremendous expense, a bond
issue, and the importation Of expert
engineers.''
If the city decided definitely to
supply the current, 1t would have to
decide between enlarging it's own plant
or purchasing the Edison plant. The
city is already poled and wired with
fixtures owned by Topeka taxpayers.
In event of competition, it is claimed,
the Edison company would. of course.
lower its rates. If the city met this
reduction. and was obliged to make
up the deficit in taxes, it would still
be making money over the reduction
in rates. and Topekans would not be
fOrking out any more coin.

WlSNER Will CASE.
Sedgwick Controversy Appealed to
Supreme Court.

Appeal to the supreme court was tax
en- today in the widely known Wisner
will case from Sedgwick county, which
attracted state wide attention when it
was tried last fall Notice Of appeal
was served by C. Q. Chandler, wich-
ita banker. and other party defendants
in the suit. They were charged with
using undue influence in inducing the
late DR.. Henry Wisner to bequeath his
property to members OF the Chester i.
Long household and to the Women's
Christian Temperance Union.
Wisner was one Of the wealthiest men
in Barber county and owned several
large tracts of land near Medicine
Lodge, the former homo OF Senator
Long. At the time of his death, Wisner
left two sons by his second wife. He
had been married three times, each Of
his former wives having died. The liv-
ing heirs. Charles H. Wisner and Henry
]. Wisner, were sons by his second WIFE,
Evidence introduced in the trial of the
case. showed that the second Mrs. Wis
ner owned property valued at 800. 900
the money in unsuccessful business
speculati0ns and that at the time of
Mrs. Wisner's death suit for divorce
was pending in the Chicago courts.
Wisner's two sons. it was claimed. re-
fused to permit the father to see the
tfon. they claimed. they observed a wish
Of their mother. The two living heirs
We're at that time children Is and 1e
years old.
In 1885. Wisner was again married,
came to Kansas and made q fortune.
With a brother, he engaged in the cat
tie business In Barber county and was
for a number of years a close friend OF
Chester I. Long, former United States
senator. Wtsner was also an admirer
of the late Carrie Nation, also a resi-
dent of Medicine Lodge. In his last
WILL Wisner bequeathed $3.50 to a
Miss Vera Clemens and members of the
Chester 1. Long household. Much Of
his remaining fortune was willed to the
Women's Christian Temperance Union
Wisner was So years old at the time the
will was made.
Following their fathers death, the
children sought to set aside the will
and charged that undue influence had
been brought to bear In the making OF
the WILL The jury found for the plain
ttffs. although the journal entry abb
solved Senator Long from any connec-
tton with the transaction. Evidence
showed that Wisner had gone to Long, 9
office to have his will prepared. stated
his desire and asked Senator Long to
prepare the document. When Senator
Long learned that members Of his
household were to benefit by the provi-
sions Of the will. he refused to act as
Wisner's attorney and Judge A. E.
Helm prepared the papers
The transcript Of the case is bulky,
as nearly two weeks were required in
the trial of the case in Wichita, where
the will was made. Prominence Of per-
sons connected with the case, caused
state wide interest in the trial last fall.
