WAS ALL A DREAM

state house steps convinced every
visitor that Kansas was unduly modest
in advertising her resources and civic
pride.
Last winter a legislature forgot for
a minute that it should not appro-
pirate anything for the up<eep of the
state property in Topeka and thought
lessiy set aside nearly $4,000 for a
lighting system. Some mouths after
ERE money was available, the matter
was brought to the attention of the
executive council. They remembered
the passage of the bill. They recalled
also that one of the largest crowds
that ever visited Topeka would be
here for the big free state fair.
Dream Fails to Come True.
Kansas was to be on dress parade.
She was to lay herself bare to criticism
and was to advertise to the world. her
resources and wealth and spirit. So
the executive council talked the mat
ter over with the state architect and
it was announced that the new white
way would burn for the fair visitors.
The little cluster of weak. fluttering,
uncertain incandescent lamps was to
come down and Topeka visitors were
to look at the state house and lawn
and go home proud of their state.
Visitors were to return to other states
with hopes that their own state would
follow the Kansas example.
But that dream was two or three
months ago. Every day and every

JEWS FAST And PRAY
Hebrews Throughout q. S. in Suppli-
cation for European Brethren.

New York, Sept. An the ortho-
doX Jewish synagogues throughout
the United States were notified to-
day that Sunday, September ), had
been set apart as a day of fasting
and prayer.
The proclamation revives the old
Jewish custom of esta blishing time
to fast and pray on account of ma
tionaI circulation. The procla ma
ton was made last night at the great
synagogue of the orthodox Jews here,
after imposing ceremonies attended
by 100 rabbis from all over the coun-
try.
Speakers told an immense congre-
CATION of the sufferirgs of their
brethren in Asia and Europe. 1t was

GERMANY TO WILSON

which have been torpedoed probably
will be the next step in the proceed
ing. Secretary Lansing has steadfast-
ly refused to discuss the Lusitania case
with the German ambassador until
| the Arabic incident was disposed of.
| Now, it is believed the way has been
| opened for considering the Lusitania.
~ Victory for All NeutraIs.
| Apparently the American govern
ment has accepted the German de-
| claration as meeting its attitude to-
ward the treatment of all neutral ship
ping as well as passenger carrying
vessels. Count Won BernStorff, in his
| letter referred to liners, and in Ger
man quarters that was construed as
meaning all nOn-combatant passenger
ships. AT the state department the
| German ambassa G. r's letter was con-
sidered as covering all the American
government has contended fOr-that
peaceful merchantmen must not be
sunk without warning, or without a
visit and search and opportunity for
non-combatants to escape.
Note to Britain Now.
It is generally acknowledged that in
making concessions to the United
States Germany expects President Will
son to renew his representations to
Great Britain against interference
with neutral trade. The president has
steadfastly declined to conduit one
negotiation in relation to the other,
taking the position that the position
of the United States with one beiliger-
ent could not be conditioned on its
relations with another. The new
American note to Great Britain MAX
ing representations against the re-
strictions imposed by the orders in
council is almost ready to go forward
to London. 10y ~ ,--Ehv f.. -. -..--
Concrete Assurances from Berlin.
Count Won zBersIstorff believes that
a formal statement from Berlin only
remains to settle the entire contro-
yersy between the two countries. Ger
many cannot admit on partial evil
dence, it was said, that the Arabic
was sunk by a German submarine, but
1t is confidently believed that what
ever develops, the imperial govern
ment will give concrete assurances
corresponding to the general state
ment already made that the Arabic
was not destroyed in accordance with
any plan or desire of the German
admiralty.
Ambassador Bernstorff has a gem
eral and longer communication from
the foreign office dealing with the
case of the LuSitania which is expect
ed to clear up any doubt as to the
extent of the German concessions. In
German quarters it is insisted they
will be satisfactory.
Chief Justice White, who was
among Secretary Lansing's callers, de-
clared the outcome was the greatest

American Bark Fired At.
Boston, Sept. 1.-The American
bark, Ruth Stark of Boston, was held
up by a German submarine while
bound from Liverpool for this port
on August 8. According to Captain
Rawdind, the submarine fired first
what was probably meant as a warn
ing for her to heave to, but second
shot, he said, appeared to be aimed
at his vessel. Sails were being low
cred when the second shot was fired
Soon afterward, the submarine came
alongside and after learning the iden-
tity of the bark and her destination
permitted her to proceed.

National Zeitung Sure Of
Friendly Arabic Settlement.

Berlin, Sept. 1-(via London) =
The National Zeitung publishes today
leading article under the heading:
Wilson, Bryan and Roosevelt"
The article is noteworthy for its
friendly tone and for the ungrudging
admiration expressed for President
Wilson.
1t begins by saying that discussions
of the Arabic affair have been in a
quieter tone since Count Won Bern
sto-ff, the German ambassador at
Washington, presented his request to
the American government TIC delay &C
ton until Germany had had the OPP
portunity of presenting its side of the
case. Even the anti German newspa-
pers admitted the justice of this re-
quest, the article says, and there now
remains no obstacle to friendly dis
cussions of differences which, while
real, are by no means of such a ma
ture as to prevent satisfactory COM
promise.
Wilson in New Light.
The personality of President Will
son has been illuminated more strong
1y than ever before, the National lei
tung says, during the exciting days
through which America has just
passed. The president will appear to
many in a new light. Never was his
position more difficult than during
the Arabic crisis, when Mr.. Bryan
was calling on Americans for peace
at any price and Colonel Roosevelt
was summoning them to war against
Germany"
Between Bryan and Roosevelt.
President Wilson is pictured in the
article as standing between the two
rivals, whose activities threatened to
bring about such a situation the
president might make his attitude to-
ward Germany dependent on domes-
tic political consideration. That Pres
ident Wilson ''withstood this tempta-
ton and may be counted on to with
stand it further. must be acknowl-
edged" the paper says. 1.-The Ger
man people certainly have reason to
be dissatisfied with his attitude in the
matter of submarine warfare

Desires Friendly Relations.
The article is concluded with the
statement that Germany has always
desired to maintain the traditional
friendly relations with America and
that it may be hoped the Arabic case
will serve to clear up nisunderstand-
ings on both sides. 1T must be pos
sible to reach unS outstanding, mas

broken ribs. Lyons's back was given
a severe wrenching and his hip was
sprained. Swink, Burger and Mayer
were badly bruised.
Lewis Masching, coming toward To-
peka on the Silver Lake road, was
stopped by three of the men. He took
McRae directly to st. Francis hospital
where his wounds were attended to by
DR.. r. B. Stewart and DR.. J. H. O'Con-
nell McRae was unconscious at the
time but later regained his senses. He
called for a Catholic priest and one
was sent out to the hospital. At 3
o'clock he died.
s. w. Forester, of Manhattan, driv-
ing westward, came along a few min
utes later and took Cooley, Mayer,
Lyons and Burger to the hospital and
Detectives Morgan and Richardson
brought Swink to the city.
Burger and Swink did not remain
long at the hospital and are now at
their homes.
Dick Cooley is in a more serious
condition today than his companions.
His broken ribs and bruises are caus-
ing him trouble. DR.. r. B. Stewart
said this morning that he probably
will recover. The wounds of Lyons
Swink, Burger and Mayer are not
dangerous.
McRae was the owner of a grocery
at 134 Quincy street. He is survived
by his wife and one son, Frank Nc
Rae. The funeral arrangements have
not yet been completed.
Leonard Lyons, who was driving the

At the entrance to the canyon, the
posse found a camp fire glowing, and
an advance guard was thrown out to
search for the Mexicans. BY 3 o'clock
the guard returned with the news that
the Mexicans were encamped in box

pursuit. Their horses were unsaddled
and hobbled at some distance from the

Killing of OroZco.
The posse advanced and dismounted

a voIley was poured down upon the

dashed for the protection of boulders.
Orozco's companion was riddled with
bullets as he stepped from the shelter
of his rock. Orozco fell dead, struck
by four bullets.
