German Pedestrian Tells Tales
on Kansas Small Towns.
Says Gambling Instinct Flour
ishes in Our Villages.

Edward Geist of Munich, Germany,
who is on the last lap of a tour on
foot through South America. Central
America, and the United States, and
who has already covered $4,000 miles,
is in Topeka and has an interesting
story to tell of his varied experiences.
He is accompanied by Dionislo YAK
from Guatemala. He is travelling for
German societies, and expects to
write book upon his return to Ger
many.
The people of Kansas are more
hospitable than any people have met
since leaving the Pacific coast" said
Mr.. Geist. Il did not like the people
of California; they were too high,
you know.
Il have seen some bootlegging in
the small towns of Kansas but there
is less drinking here than in the 9TH
er states that have visited. There
has been one thing that has amazed
me, however. and that is the amount
of card playing for money that is done
just outside the small towns. have
even seen young boys playing. At
one place 1 pitched my tent outside
OF town, nearby where a large num-
Der OF persons were playing cards l
attempted to take picture of them
and was nearly Icobbed. In many
places the people have been suspicious
OF me; they thought 1 might be de-
tective.''
Mr.. Geist asked for a State Journal
letterhead to add to his collection of
$4,000 letterheads and business cards
In one book the pedestrian has auto
graphs OF governors, presidents and
various officials in twenty-four differ
ent languages. His collection includes
the signature of George H. Hodges,
governor of Kansas, together with the
official state seal

Shippers About Through With
Freight Rate Evidence.
Will Call in Missouri Jobbers
at Later Session.

With prospect of an early adjourn
ment of the present session at which
shippers are presenting testimony for
their side of the application to read
just freight rates in Kansas, the public
utilities commission continued its work
into this afternoon. Kansas City, Mo-,
shippers will give testimony regarding
the effect of present rates into KAN
sas territory at later sessio-. to which
the hearing will adjourn, postpone
ment having been allowed to permit
the railroad companies to perfect de-
tailed statements regarding the whole
situation
Jobbers Of Hutchinson and other
southern Kansas points are at de-
cided disadvantage with competitive
Missouri valley points. according to tes-
timony and exhibits introduced today
by o. L. Bateman, secretary OF the
Hutchinson traffic bureau. during the
hearing for proposed reimbursement of
class and commodity rates.
Z The first witness to give testimony in
the hearing this morning was A. H.
Griesa, fruit grower and dealer OF
Lawrence. Mr.. Griesa when questioned
by Judge Helm entered complaint
that freight rates on pears, both in
carload lots and smaller shipments, are
higher than on apples. In case OF loss
and damage pears are of less value than
apples said MIR. Griesa. The Law
renee man also teStl1lod tnat rates u
points IN Nebraska of greater mileage
than from Lawrence to Salina were
higher than rates between the two
Kansas towns.
Aren't pears considered more per-
ishabe than apples?" asked j. X.
Koontz, general freight agent for the
Santa Fe railroad.
sGriesa: NO"
A vein of comedy was injected into
the hearing when Griesa testified that
he was told by a railroad man to bill
his pears as apples. thereby avoiding
the higher rates. Griesa said he was
unaware that this was a violation of
the law.
J. r. Koontz: ''Who was this railroad
man.
He was not a Santa Fe man." par
ried Griesa in an effort to shield the
railroad employee who had undertaken
to solve the rate problem.
Mr.. Koontz insisted on an answer to
the question which was finally given.
w. NJ. Todd of Leavenworth testified
late Wednesday afternoon.
The commission has been asked that
Kansas City, Mo-. wholesalers and ship
pers be called into the hearing that the
situation as to rates in that section of
the country might be ascertained.
The Kansas City men will probably
appear at a future hearing. Late this
afternoon an effort was made to term
mate the hearing until a later date.

SUGGEST N COY FOR
DISTRICT BENCH
New Jersey Delegates Urge His
Appointment - Pou Also
Mentioned.

Two members Of the House have been
recommended to the President for the
| vacancy on the bench of the Supreme
! Court OF the District. The New Jersey
delegation processes an interest in Con-
gresham Mccoy, while Senator Sim
mons of North Carolina recommends
the appointment of Cony gresham Pou
of the Tar Heel State.
Mr.. Mccoy, who is chairman Of the
Wright impeachment investigating
committee. has been put forward by
Congressman Townsend. of New Jer-
sey. Congressman Tuttle is also said
to have recommended that the Presi-
dent take Mr.. Mccoy into considera-
ton.
Mr.. Mccoy has been in Atlantic City
for several days and II is not known
how he regards the talk of place on
the District bench. The appointment
of the chairman of the Wright sub
committee. however, would embarrass
the inquiry to a certain extent, mas
much as there has already been one
virtual withdrawal from the commit
tee as at first constituted-Congre
man Beall of Texas, who is passing
the summer at his own home.
The chairman of the House investiga-
tors has borne the brunt of the inquiry,
which Is now more than half completed
and Mr.. McCoy's colleagues are not cer-
tain that he would relinquish the work.
Congressman Pou Is ranking Democrat
on the Rules Committee, and has been
in the House for several terms. Senator
Simmons has recommended Mr.. Pou,
who is only fifty-one years of age, as
an excellent man for the vacant Judge
ship. 49,.
