new RESCUE Man
But Fans Must Show They
Want q Team.

1t will take $4,000 to keep Topeka on
the Western league baseball circuit and
the local fans and business men Will
be given a chance Monday to demon
strate whether or not they want team
bad enough to put up this amount.
Officers of the German-American
bank have announced that they have
succeeded in interesting prominent
big league baseball man in the local
club and this man will come to Topeka
next Monday to look over the PROPOSE
ton and talk with the business men OF
the town. The mans name is Withheld
at his request. but every assurance Is
given that he is one of the topnOtchers
in the baseball world and that he has
ample backing. He is now connected
with the management of q major league
This man, according to the statement
of the bank officials, will come here
Monday and go over the proposition
and if it looks good to him he will take
over the club and guarantee a team that
will finish in the first division, pro-
vided Topeka business men will sub
scribe 81, 900 worth of stock and give him
an option on the purchase Of this stock
at the end of the season.
He states. however, that he will not
buy the franchise outright unless he
sees that the business men are willing
to back the team and the fans to sup
port it, and he will not consider a prop
osition unless he is assured that he can
become the sole owner of the team and
franchise at the end of the season, if
it paying proposition.
A Possible Manager.
The negotiations with this man have
gone SO far that the choosing of q
manager has been discussed, and
"mong those being considered is
Jimmy Jackson, former manager OF
the Wellington team in the Tri-State
league, who has been highly recon-
mended by Connie Mack as a man
who can bring the Topeka team to a
top notch position. Jackson won the
team in 1913, and had the team well to
season.
necessary $4,000, either Jackson. OF
some other player-manager who is just
as good will be placed in charge, and
players of the first rank will be signed
at once.
The only condition, according to the
bank officials who are exerting every
effort to keep Topeka on the baseball
map. is that local men put up $4,000
to wipe out a part of the old indebted
ness and that those who put up this
$4,000 give 1.-The rescue man" ar
option to buy their holdings at the enc
| of the season.
| 1t is probable that a meeting will BIZ
held at the Commercial club Monday
at noon. and all who are interested
are requested to keep in touch with
the bank and boost the proposition il
every way possible

STOCKS TAKE TUMBLE
Enormous Sales of L. S. Steel Follow
Passing of Dividend.

New York. Jan. 30.-Passing of the
dividend on the common stock of the
United States steel corporation was
the unexpected and unsettl1ng feature
of the week. The shares fell over IL
points as a result. the authorities of
the exchange being impelled to reduce
the minimum from 48 to 40, with en-
ormous sales between those figures.
Other prominent stocks suffered in
lesser degree, losses of to s points
being quite general. Canadian Paci-
fic declined more than any other
high priced railway issue, it's loss of
almost eight points from last Satur-
day being ascribed mainly to very I'M
favorable earnings. Much of the SELL
ing of Canadian Pacific and other in
terests came from abroad, liquidation
from that source being made easier by
the removal here of the ban against
future deliveries of securities.
Aside from the steel dividend sus-
pension, conditions in that trade
pointed toward improvement. Cop
pers also showed a better tone on the
successfully higher prices quoted for
the metal, but general trade advices
were more than usually conflicting.
Bank clearings indicated some hest
tatiOn in the markets for general mer-
chandise, but cash was in greater sup
ply at all reserve centers.
Railroad earnings for December
continued to show net losses but some
of the larger systems reported reduc-
tions in operating expenses. Southern
| lines continued to reflect the back
ward movement of cotton

Meeting Will Be Held to Settle Orients
Wichita Station Troubles.

Wichita. Kan, Jan. 3O.-The Kansas
City. Mexico & Orient railway may move
back to the union station. Reports in
railway circles have it that peace con-
ference to be held either at Topeka or
Kansas City has been called to end the
dispute between the Orient and the Wich-
ita Union Terminal company or force a
SHOW down. in the courts.
Directors of the terminal company will
hold meeting at Topeka for the purpose
of acting on the Orient's withdrawal and
the Orient has been asked to have a rep
resentation at the meeting.
Proposals are said to have been made
to the Orient to get it to abandon the
temporary quarters at Mosley and Doug
las avenues and return to the station.
That the Orient expects to sc tile in some
way is evidenced by the fact that it has
not done anything to get permanent quar-
tiers. The road will not maintain its pres
en- arrangement long, a passenger
coach doesn't make a very agreeable sta
ton in a city the size of Wichita
1t Is said that the terminal company
will make proposal to the Orient to
handle its two passenger trains at so
much per day, the rate to be figured not
on basis of what the station cost, but
upon what it is worth to the Orient to run
Its trains into the union station.
A. H. Dickinson, local superintendent
for the Orient, last night stated that he
Is not in a position to affirm or deny the
report.

HIGH SCHOOL SPIRIT.
Revival OF Class anf: Journalism
Activity in Il. HI. S.

The old time spirit has been aroused
in the Topeka High school so far as
the oncoming senior class is con-
cerned.
The seniors-to-be have held their
primaries and have nominated candi-
dates for the respective offices of the
class and for manager and editor OF
the High School World. High School
annual and for manager of the play.
The nominations for the election
which will be held next week are:
President, Joe Fay, jr., VIM. MacFer-
ran, Ed Clara: vice president, Chris
tina Ward, LOra Neiswanger, Gladys
Neil; secretary, Isabel Sweet, Eloise
Sargent. James Perry; treasurer. Wal
Fair; sergeant at arms, Cal Pruessner,
VIM. Gear. Hobart MCPHERSON: man.
ager of play, Ed Thompson, Fred
WOrley, editor annual, VIM. McCarter
Paul Cooper. Mary Roby; manager
annual, Marion Smith, James Perry.
Harry Welty, Willard Wear; editor
World, William McCarter, Ethel JOSS,
Ted Lagerstrom, Carl Rankin, James
Perry. The above names have to be
approved by Principal Stout before
they are eligible to election.
Another idea, new at this time. is
that any of the candidates who are
not elected to the office to which he
is nominated may enter the race for
any Office under that which he has
been nominated.
The revival of the High School
World is one thing that is being
looked forward to as a big event in
the school. In the last term there has
been no school paper and only four
issues were distributed the preceding
term.

and while 1t looks very well from tine
grandstand, there are men whom you
can find who were not allowed TO get
into the track and test their powers
against the other men who were rae
ing for the honors of the day.
Must Observe the Rules.
IT think 1t is a serviceable figure.
1t means this. that you are not going
to be barred from the contest because
you are big and strong and you are
not going to be penalized because yCu
are big and strong. but you are going
to be made to observe the rules OF the
track and not get In anybodys way
except as you can keep out of his way
by having more vigor and skill than
he has. 1t is the same spirit OF true
craftsmanship that ought to get into
everything and men. who. when they
get beaten that way, squeaI' 90 not
deserve our pity.
There are, therefore. 1 suppose.
certain rules Of the game. ! Will men,
ton what seems to me some OF them.
have already mentioned one OF them
by way of illustration. First is the
rule Of publicity. not doing anything
under cover. letting the pubic know
what you are doing and judge Of 1t
according as it is. There are a great
many businesses in this country that
have fallen under suspicion because
they were so secretive when there was
nothing to secrete that was dishonor-
able. Publicity which is required in
sport, is required in business. Let's
see how you are running the game.
Foundation of Business.
Then. in the second place, there is
full equivalent for the money you
receive, the full equivalent in service;
not trying to skimp in the service in
order to increase profits above a rea-
sonable return. but trying to make the
profits proportiOned to the satisfac-
ton of the people that you serve.
There isn't any more solid foundation
for business than that.
Then in the third place, this game
requires something more than ordi-
nary sport. 1t requires a certain kind
of conscience in business, a certain
feeling that we are after all. in this
make good according to the standards
of the people we live with. That. after
all, gentlemen, is the chief compulsion
that is laid on all of u.s.
Then. the fourth rule, as it seems
to me, is the rule of having the spirit
of service. l know men in this city
there are men in the scientific bureau
of this government whom I could cite
who could make very big salaries,
but who prefer the satisfaction of
doing things that will serve the whole
community and doing them just as
well as they possibly can be done. 1.
for one am proud of the scientific
bureau of this government"
