Capper Veto VIII Hurt Irvine
Plant, Says BOtkin.
Warden Says Wheat Growers of
State Will Suffer.
TAKE THE REVOL WING FUND
No Money Left to Rebuild Sec
ton of Penitentiary.
May Be Compelled to Close
Lansing Mill.

Perhaps the greatest loss suffered
BIZ any state institution when Governor
Capper vetoed $229,000 in appropria-
tions this week, was in the cut
ting of $4,000 from the appropria-
ton for the penitentiary Irvine plant
revolving fund. In a statement today
will not only cripple the Irvine plant,
but will work a direct hardship on the
wheat growers of the state.
When the penitentiary Irvine plant
burned two years ago. the revolving
fund was practically depleted in re-
placing the buildings and Sisa1. Added
to the loss of the Irvine plant by fire
was the fact that the prison had but
into the treasury $4,000 from the re-
vOlving fund.
Once in the general fund, the money
could not be withdrawn for rebuilding
playing close to shore in the manu-
facture of Irvine until the legislature
would replace their loss. But Cover
nor Capper blocked relief for the
prison. The legislature failed to make
an appropriation to rebuild the peni-
tertiary and Governor Capper exer-
cised his veto on s74,0O0 appropriated
for the institution. OF this sum $50,
600 was for the Irvine plant revolving
fund.
Now Warden Botkin sees dire ca
iamity facing the plant. In state
ment concerning the governors veto,
BOtk1n declares that the use or the
knife on the appropriation bill means
a loss not only to the state but par
the farmers who have looked
to the state prison plant to stand be-
tween them and the Irvine trust.
Botkin said:
1.-The present situation is that we
have sufficient sisal to run the mill
about one month and the outlook is
that we shall be compelled to close
the mill. In view of the prospect for
an addition to our revolving fund, we
have contracted two million pounds of
Irvine to the Kansas consumers to be
delivered by July 1. We shall be
forced to fall short at least one-fourth
million pounds. In addition to that,
we have received orders for more than
two million pounds which we will not
be able to place at all. Farmers are
crying for this Irvine, which will indi-
cate the enormity of the blunder in
not providing the state Irvine plant
with an ample revolving fund"

BIGGEST AIR BATTLE.
Twenty French and German Aero
planes Fight at One Time.

Basic, Switzerland, March 27.-In
the recent aerial battle in Alsace no
less than twenty aeroplanes were en-
gagged on both sides. It was the great
est aerial fight since the beginning of
the war. 1t took place in the triangle
between Lorrach, point on the Swiss
frontier, a~d Muelhausen and Alt
kirch.
The French aerial squadron came
from the VosgeS, the Germans from a
mountain in the black forest.
Fortress Istein opened fire on the
advancing front squadron and soon
the batteries at Altkirch Joined in.
Meanwhile the German aviators with
musketry fire and bombs attacked the
French airmen, who defended them
selves with machine guns and rifles.
The aviators circled around each 9TH
er, each maneuvering for position end
watching every movement of their OPP
pOnents, ready to dash in and lurl
one another to death.
Finally after the battle had ragged
for about an hour, the Germans with
drew and disappeared in the direction
of Altkirch. All of the French avia-
tors probably returned safely to their
base as there is no report of any cas-
uaItieS among them.

American voices, with somewhat of
the Italians intensity of tone. In
other words, she can sing a sustained
Fegato. One may usually look for the
artistic finish of a voice in the pianis-
simo and covered notes as examples of
the singers most delicate skill. Miss
Hinkle has the ability of giving to her
soft notes refinement and carrying
power, and at the end of a long COW
cred note, swelling the tone to its full
volume.
Miss Hinkle has a pleasing exterior.
and she sings from an Astounding vi
tally that manifests itself in tone that
is produced with a spontaneity that is
entirely without tricks of voice or
manner.
Since Miss HinkIe can make her
song the servant of an admirable in
terpretative intention, one must place
her high in the ranks of American
sopranos, who sing exclusively for the
concert stage. b. Fl

TODAY'S MARKET REPORT.

Chicago, March -WHEAT-signs of
activity on the part of exporters rallied
the price of wheat today after sag at
the start. The weakness early due to
lower quotations at Liverpool but the fact
soon developed that yesterdays decline in
America has been mainly responsible for
the setback abroad Buying on the fresh
break here was traced, for the most part,
to houses that usually act for the seaboard,
After opening unchanged to 1Ac lower the
market rose to well above last nights level
all around.
Strength, however, was only brief.
Spreaders did good deal of selling of May
and buying of September as a result of the
wide difference of price between the two
deliveries. The close was unsettled at &c
to 11Sc under last night
CORN-Favorable weather gave the
bears an advantage in corn Shorts were
about the only buyers. Opening prices,
which ranged from 1sc to sc lower. were
followed by an additional down turn.
Commission house selling was of an I'M
usually persistent sort. The close, not
withstanding, was steady at sc to ss&1ac
net decline.
OATS-Oats suffered from nquidating
sales by holders. Pit traders were also
free sellers.
VISIONS-Provisions were steadied
by firmness in the hog market. Leading
packers bought.

MATTHEWS WINS IT.
Jury Returns Verdict Against Charles
S. Eagle in Lease Suit.

A verdict favorable to Todd Mat
thews was brought in by the jury in
the suit of Charles S. Eagle, owner of
the building at 729 Kansas avenue, for
the recovery of rental under a lease
which Matthews quilted on the ground
that Eagles customers disturbed him
and injured his trade. The trial of
the case occupied two days and half.
Answering q series of "a special
questions put by the court, the jury
found that while the noise in the
store building justified Matthews in
leaving the place for other quarters,
there was no foundation for the al
legation of gambling or disorderly
conduct there. The jurors personally
inspected the building which has been
divided by partition to separate the
Eagle Cigar store from the room
which was sublet to the clothing mer-

H0LToN GIRL THERE.
Lenore SchoebeI in Midst of Turkish
Trouble.

There is a former Holton, Kan,
school ma am, Miss Lenore, Schoebel,
in the midst of the Turkish trouble
near Urumiah, Persia, and her par
ents, Prof. and Mrs. o. M. Schoebel of
Holton, are worrying over her. Pro-
fessor Schoebel is an instructor in
Campbell college.
Miss Schoebe1 went to Urumiah in
1910 as a missionary. She left IIo1-
ton Immediately after the spring
school term was ended and after few
weeks travelling in Europe she ar
rived in Urumiah, where she has been
ever since. There has been a great
deal of anxiety expressed by her rela-
tives and friends for her safety since
the war broke out
For several weeks last fall. no word
came to HOlton from Miss Schoebel,
owing to communications being cut
off between Persia and the outside
world. Her parents have even a still
greater cause for anxiety at the pres
ent time owing to stories reaching this
country of the outrageS and the reign
of terror due to the invasion of that
part of Persia by the Turks.

State From Tenth to Third in
Crop Production.
Texas Competing With Us for
Position i'm Value.
ALL WAS DONE IN IS YEARS
Kansas Dragged Along in
Twelfth Place i'm 1900.
Believed 1914 Value Will Pass
400 Million Mark.

In less than Is years Kansas has
climbed from tenth place to almos
third place in the rank of state II
crop production. This remarkable
growth is shown in the government
reports which leave but a bare mar
gin between Kansas and Texas in the
fight for third place in value of al
crops.
1t was only a few years ago thai
Kansas dragged along in the tenth
and twelfth positions when the govern
ment compiled official tables showing
the value of crops in various states
and campaign orators who went
abroad told of the wonders of Kansas
But now Kansas has come into her
own in the real true sense of the
word.
With her present showing, Kansas
does not require the aid of the cam
paign orator and the crop booster to
tell of her greatness. The govern
ment, through it's official bureau and
department of agriculture, does all of
that and more. She gives Kansas a
real standing and conservative Uncle
sam has the figures to back up every
claim.
In 1900, Kansas was regarded as
great crop state. At that time she
ranked tenth among all of the states
of the Union in value of crops. In
1910, Kansas had climbed to the sew
enth rung in the ladder of agricultu-
raj fame. But last year she upset all
former records and passed some of the
grand old states that for years have
stood near the top as prize farming
communities. Last year Kansas
climbed to fourth place, with bare
million dollars between the value of
crops in Kansas and those in Texas
Texas with her vast area and Kansas
with ocean of wheat and corn. But
for that million dollars, Kansas would
now be in third place. In point of
area, she has Texas backed off the
boards and struggling for existence in
the first division. But two states
Illinois and Iowa-rea1ly and truly
surpaSS Kansas in the value of crops
according to the government report
which has this week been made pub
lie in Washington.
A bulletin issued last fall by J. c.
Mohler, secretary of the state board
of agriculture, showed the value of all
crops in Kansas to be $376,297,713
with an additional value of $261,955,-
494 on live stock. 1t is now believed
that the value of 1914 crops have
passed the 400 million dollar mark,
which would put Kansas securely in
third place. The fact that the farm
ers held to their big wheat crop and
refused to sell more than a small por-
ton of the output until the price
went to a dollar a bushel, is believed
by many observers to mean that the
years crop valuation is the in advance
of earlier estimates.

I-Reactionary tendencies of the past day
or two We're overcome today, the market re
gaining all its strength of the midweek and
mounting in numerous instances to higher
levels. Trading was very extensive and
again included some of the specialties, Gen
eral Meters gaining pints on rumors of
disbursements to shareholders. Bethlehem
Steel was the outstanding feature, however,
advancing to So points to 20, or points
above it's record price publication of the
annual statement showing earnings of over
3 per cent for the common stock. Reading
and United States Steel were the most con-
spicuous leaders, selling at it's highest since
dividends were suspended. The close was
strong.
Bonds were firm.
Some irregu1arity was manifested by
today's early market, although a majority
of the active stocks were higher, partic-
ularly regarding New Haven, the latter ris-
ing point.
Baltimre and Ohio also added slightly to
its recent advance and bethlehem Steel
made further recovery the preceding days
weaknss. Steel and Amalgamated Copper
were under moderate restraints.
Smelling, American Sugar, Beet Sugar
and Mexican Petroleum were fractionally
higher. London range for American show

PALM CROP A FAILURE
Special Sunday Services May Be Inter-

New York, March 27-Many wor-
shippers may find it difficult to obtain
palms tom Sunday-lo-
cal dealers say, owing to a partial
failure of the palm crop due to blight.
New York dealers own their own
palm plantations in central Florida.
This season the usual number of
palms were brought to New York to
be distributed to other cities, but it
was discovered that the stock changed
color and then rotted. One New York
firm was unable to fill fifty orders
from as many cities and towns.
