TO RAISE $4,000
Enthusiastic Meeting Held at
Episcopal Deanery.
Citizens Committee VIII Coop
crate With Church Officials.

A meeting was held last night at the
deanery with the Rev. James P. deb.
Kaye, dean of Grace cathedral, for the
purpose of devising a campaign effort
on the part of members of the parish
to cooperate with the citizens COM
mittee which will undertake to raise
$4,000 with which to complete the
cathedral.
The meeting was attended by
Messrs. H. c. Kibbe, w. w. Dennison,
E. ]. Shakeshaft, E. A. Herbst, Walter
Ashton Smith, Earle c. Williams, John
C. Waters and Dean Kaye.
1t was decided that a strong COM
mittee comprised of members of the
parish should canvass the full mem
bership of the parish for subscrip-
lions. This committee will begin its
work next Tuesday morning. The
citizens committee will begin its cam
paign next Monday. Arrangements
have been made with the Central Ma
tional bank to handle all deferred sub
scriptions.
The Topeka diocese will also be
canvassed and an effort will be made
to raise at least $1,000 from among the
membership of the church in the other
cities and towns.
The meeting at the deanery last
night was full of interest and enthusi-
asm and it is believed the effort to
finish the cathedral in 1916 will prove
successful. The parishioners present
pledged the fullest cooperation and
good hard work to the effort of To-
peka to finish the big cathedral at

FIND SCHMIDT GUILTY
Jury Fixes Penalty of McNamara's
Accomplish at Life imprisonment.

Los Angeles. Dec. 31.-Matthew A.
Schmidt was convicted last night of
first degree murder as the accomplish
of James b. Mcnamara in the blowing
up of the Los Angeles Times building
here five years ago.
The specific charge against Schmidt
was the murder of Charles Hagerty
one of the twenty victims of the Times
explosion. The jury was out forty
six minutes.
The jury fixed Schmidt's punish
ment at Imprisonment for life, the
same penalty imposed on James B.
Mcnamara after the latter had con-
fessed in court four years ago that he
placed the bomb which blew up the
newspaper plant.
David Captain, another alleged ac-
complete of Mcnamara, who was ar
rested last February near Seattle,
shortly after Schmidt had been taken
into custody in New York, is in Jail
awaiting trial also on the charge of
having murdered Charles Hagerty.
The courts charge to the jury had
been regarded as distinctly favorable
to the defendant and the verdict came
as a surprise to Schmidt and his coun-
sci. Schmidt, however, head it with
out show of emotion.
Time for the imposition of sentence
upon Schmidt was fixed for next Mon
day and his counsel will then interpose
motion for a new trial. It was
agreed that argument on this motion
should be heard January 2.

The WORLD
Topeka Has Most Telephones
in Proportion to Population.
An Average of One to Every
Family in City.

Topeka has a higher telephone de-
velopment-ratioo of telephone stations
to the popuIation-than any city of
its size in the world, according to To-
cal officials of the Missouri and Kan
sas Telephone company. With the in
crease of $50 telephones in 1915 the
total number of stations in the city
reached the 10,015 mark today. This
shows 20 per cent development. 1t
is pointed out by the officials that a
5 per cent development is considered
very high and so far as is known there
is not another city in the world in
Topeka's class when it comes to the
number of telephones in comparison
with the population.
The growth of the city is given by
the telephone people as the cause for
the remarkable increase in service
since the two telephone systems were
consolidated in 1912. The net gain
for the year just closing of $50 phones
has been general, which indicated that
there has been growth in homes,
business, and all lines in Topeka dur
ing the last year. The increase shows
that more than one phone a day has
been added to the list of stations.
In comparison with the population
it might be stated that Topeka has a
telephone to each family, approximate
ing it on a basis of II 1000 telephones
and a population of $4,000.

London, Dec. 31.-That Lewis Har-
court. member of the British cabinet
since 1907 and a strong opponent of
compulsory service, has resigned was
reported but unconfirmed today.
Harcourt, whose wife is an Ameri-
can woman, is said to be slated to be-
come viceroy of India. Whether his
opposition to CONSUMPTION has led to
his resignation could not be learned
definitely today.
Mrs. Harcourt was Mary Ethel
Burns of New York. a cousin of J. P.
Morgan, her mother being a sister of
the late J. P. Morgan. If the report is
true, she will be the second American
woman to become viceroine of India,
the first having been Lady Curzon,
formerly Miss Mary Letter of Chicago.
The cabinet will meet tomorrow to
consider the form the CONSUMPTION bill
will take.

Il do not put all the blame upon
the men for present conditions" said
Mrs. Dunlap THE women should let
them understand that the demands
of their nature can only be met by
expenditure of money at the proper
time, without any questions or sug-
gestions.
when we give the proper educa-
ton to our girls and train them for
self support, no man will dare make
anything less out of his wife than a
financial partner, because she will
submit to nothing else.
Men and women should be so
trained that when they assume the

making they will know it is a relation
of cooperation in every activity and

IN GRIP OF The GRIP
Telephone Exchange a Favorite Lurk-
ing Place for the Disease.

La grippe has more terrors for the
telephone girl than any other class
of working girls. At the Bell Tele-
phone exchange there has not been a
day for the past three weeks when
there were less than ten girls at home
sick with the grippe. The greatest
number of girls sick at one time at the
local office was thirteen.
"A girls hearing at the sWltchboard
must be very acute" explained one of
the employees of the company this
morning, land the slightest cold some
times gives the girls a great deal OF
trouble. This year has been the worst
we have had for many years. We have
had more girls sick with the grippe
this year than ever before in the his
tory of the company"

SNOW IN CALIFORNIA
Orange Crop Undamaged by Wide
Spread Storms ON Coast.

Los Angeles, Dec. Shawn today
revealed at many points in the south
ern California citrus fruit district the
remarkable spectacle of orange trees
mantled with snow.
1t was a scene which had not been
witnessed in years, but temperatures
did not range below 50 degrees, and
the orange crops suffered no damage.
Snow fell in Hollywood, suburb of
Los Angeles although 1t rained in the
city itself. 1t also fell in San Ber-
nardino, Riverside, Altadena, a foot
hill suburb of Pasadena Rialto
Bloomington and other places in the
heart of the citrus region, but melted
rapidly under a steady rain. The val
leys stretching eastward in Riverside
and San Bernardino counties are
blanketed.
Rain was falling before noon
throughout the region.
Sleet Troubles Continue.
Indianapolis, Dec. 31.-Abnormal

FEED CHICKENS MILK
Poultry Man Tells Aggics How to
Make Hens Lay More.

Manhattan, Kan, Dec. 31.-Feed-
ing of skim milk or meat scraps to
poultry materially increases egg pro-
duction. A C. Philips, professor of
poultry husbandry at Purdue univer-
sity. told members of the Kansas
State Poultry Federation in conven-
ton at the Kansas State Agricultural
college here today.
Grain is the chief food given to
poultry on ordinary FARMS said Pro-
fessor Philips. Outside of this the
birds must hunt for their ration.
During a large part of the year ma
lures food is not abundant, and hens
do not lay. One particular addition
to tho grain that - very important
is skim milk or meat scrap. Grains
lack 4 sufficient AMOUNT of protein to
DE proper ration for laying hens.
I'm an experiment carried on at
Purdue university for the last four
years where meat scraps, skim milk
and fish scraps were used as a source
of animal protein, the results are
marked. The average egg production
of the hens fed none of these three
feeds was 80 Il eggs a year. In the
meat scrap pen the production was
135 eggs; fish scrap pen, 12S eggs,
ana skim milk pen, 1854 per bird.
Everything points towards the
fact that the difference in egg pro-
duction was due to the addition of
one of these three feeds to a ration
composed of corn, wheat, oats. bran
and shorts. For every 100 pounds of
milk fed birds, there was a return of
S23.04 in eggs. For every 100 pounds
of meat scrap fed there was S23.92
returned in eggs

business to keep wood convenient for
fires at the ponds and is busy on that
job But the kids were skating long
before the ice was thick enough to
warrant hauling wood. The ice is now
three inches thick and becoming
thicker all the time. In order to keep
the pond ice in good shape Porter will
have each snowfall swept off and if
necessary will flood the ice as it needs
