board was censured for their dila-
tory tactics in hot building the in-
stitution two years previous as pro-
vided by the 1911 Legislature. The
charge of appointing a relative OF
Brooks was soon dropped when it
was brought out that Bowman had
assisted in the appointment of
White as superintendent OF the
school for the deaf at Olathe, at the
request of Stubbs when it was shown
that White was relative of Stubbs.
twas also shown that several Re-
publican state officials had their rel
atives on the pay roll. However,
the Republicans never offered any
criticism to this. Only when one
democratic relative was appointed
did they kick. 1t was also shown
that Bowman assisted in the employ.
ment of Brooks relative.
The overalls of which SO much
was said because they were purchas-
ed at higher price than formerly
paid, were admitted to be of much
better quality and besides were first
purchased while Bowman was chair
man and the Republican had con-
troll of the board.
In every case the testimony show
ed that nothing irregular was done,
that the state had not lost a penny
but in some instances has saved
money. The witnesses, most of
them former bidders who were said
to have all kinds of information,
admitted that while they kicked on
not getting all of the contracts when
they had lower bid, had nothing
to say when it was shown that they
had received contracts in former
lettings at prices higher than some
other bids However, it was shown
that the articles in no case were the
same grade. The criticism of the
linen was soon dropped when the
critic of the purchased, who was a
Topeka bidder and had for years
been getting the big end of the dry
goods contracts, admitted that he
was mistaken regarding the quality
of the linen.
The investigation has again prov
ed that the Hodges administration
was absolutely free from any official
misconduct and has also shown that
Governor Hodges was not mistaken
in his judgement when he appointed
Brooks and Meyers to places on the
board of control. They have shown
exceptionally good business ability.
1t should also be another warning
to the yoteas to avoid taking any
stock in the usual eleventh hour cam

mittee appointed by Governor Hod-
ges in accordance with the law, to
probe the charges made by Fl. L.
Bowman the republican member OF
the board ofcontrol, has exonerated
Brooks and Meyers, the democratic
members from all charges of official
misconduct and severely reprimand-
ed Bowman for circulating false and
scurrilous articles against state Of
ficials for campaign purposes.
To unanimous was the commls-
sion, composed of three democrats,
one republican, and one progressive,
in their censure of disreptable meth
ods, that it is generally admitted
would have ousted Bowman from of
fee, had their been a law furnishing
such acts.
The trouble on the board of con-
troll, started soon after Brooks and
Meyers came on the board. AS
soon as Bowman found that these
two members of the board were more
capable than he of managing the
board were more capable than he of
managing the state charitable insti-
tutions, he became jealous. Bow.
mans system was to deliver long
winded talks on every other subject,
except the one at issue, to every per-
son who would come into the Office;
writing long, wearisome letters, to
almost every letter written to the of.
flee, and to quote sections of the
law on every proposition whether
the law applied and whether it was
necessary or not.
For the past two years he has
done but little towards the real work
of managing these institutions, but
has spent most of his time going
over the state making unjust and un-
true statements about the other MEM
bers of the board, spending the
states money and using the states
time digging up campaign material
in order to defeat Governor Hodges
for reelection. This he did even
in several instance where he partic.
ipated in the letting of contracts.
He was on all sides of the political
fence and at one time told Governor
Hodges that he was for him and
would do anything he wanted him
to do. He also tried TO hang out
with the progressives, and also spent
some time at Billiard headquarters.
To every person who would listen
Bowman would start his long TRADE
against Brooks and Meyers; but
when placed upon the witness stand
was unable to prove to the commits.
sion a single charge of official mis-
conduct, while on the other hand
his own testimony showed that
Brooks and Meyers were good bust

tions under their control IN good

The charge of showing fayoritism
to special friends was soon exploded

advanced and are decorated with
black velvet squares as an added dis

RUSSIAN COAT BACK AGAIN
Some New Ideas Noted in This Gar.
nent Which Never Really Has
Lost All Favor.

1t is interesting to notice that the
Russian coat had been revived in de-
cidedly modified form ere we thought
that Russia would be so much In the
war news.
A new idea in this respect is to have
the coat a contrasting color to the
skirt.
For instance, an ultra-smart model
had a quite plain black velvet skirt OF
q comfortable walking length. the coat
being cerise. bordered with black fox.
The hat that accompanied this had Q
certain suggestion Of military form In
its outline and was carried out In black
velvet with 1 doublure OF cerise. the
brim softened with black fox.
Another original and attractive idea
Ii the eton coat, from which falls .
deep basque, which il neatly plated.
although 1t must be confessed that 1t
IL more often slightly draped. Al .
matter of fact sthe basques extend to
the hem Of the skirts and have the ap-
pearance Of . .tunic. These coats are
very economical. as. they, can be worn
with a great variety Of skirts. Again.
their aspect can be metamorphosed
by waistcoats; of this accessory spe-
cial feature is being made.
Furthermore, the sash occupies q
prominent role and is arranged some
inches below the waist line. The tight
fitting coats have passed into the
realm of things forgotten, the new
models being all semi-fitting. some
having clusters of plaits at the side be-
low the belt or SASH Clusters OF plalts
on the skirt are a novelty that mas

RevoIutionixed Naval Warfare.

One hundred years ago the steam
frigate Fulton, the first steam vessel
of war ever built in the world, was
launched at New York. The vessel
was designed by Robert Fulton and
was built with an appropriation made
by congress in 1913. 1t fulfilled all
the expectations of its builders, but
was not completed in time to take
part in the second war with Great
Britain. The navies engaged in that
war consisted wholly of sailing ships.
Some of these carried as many as "A
guns each and otherwise were very
formidable engines of destruction But
even the largest of these were soon
discarded from the navies of the world
after the appearance of the steam
warships, of which the Fulton was the
pioneer. The completion of the Full
ton was a step in naval development
that was not to be equaled in impor-
lance until the building of the first
ironclad, nearly half a century later.
