Chicago Crop Expert Predicts
500 Million Bushels.
Black Rust in DakOtas; Hop
pers in Kansas Corn.

Chicago, July 13-From western

but of possible heavy damage to
spring wheat through black rust in the
DDakotas Bernard Snow, crop expert
for one of the biggest Chicago brok-
erage houses, returned today from an
inspection trip through the north
west. He said the winter wheat crop
will be something like 100000, 900
bushels, and, though under last years
record yield. will still be a bumper
output
Weather conditions for harvesting
and threshing the winter wheat are
IDEAL, Snow said. The quality of
the yield is unusually good.
Spring Wheat Affected.
The spring wheat CROP outlook is
not sc good. 1t all depends row on
the weather for the next three weeks
If weather is favore BILE to development
of black rust. much of the crop will
be loss. If it is not favorable to the
rust. the damage will be light"
Snow said black rust had appeared
throughout South Dakota and in scat
tering parts of North Dakota.
Corn is growing fast. TIE hot, dry
weather so far has been ideal for it,
Snow said. A few rams will help. but
this is regular corn weather.

HE WANTS TO GO
Porter Patterson Trying His Best to
Enter Penitentiary.

Porter Patterson is in Jail and wants
to go to the penitentiary. Mrs. Porter
Patterson is out on bond and is due to
go to the county Jail this afternoon or
Friday.
The indications are that Mr.. and
Mrs. Porter Patterson will visit the
court room of Judge G.. H. Whitcomb
about the same time. one to be sem
fenced to the county Jail and the other
to the penitentiary.
They are what is known in the coun-
ty attorneys office as persistent vio-
lators."
Patterson has been on the road to
the penitentiary on numerous occasions
but has always managed, heretofore.
to get onto a siding. He was con-
victed in the district court several
weeks ago and his attorney, John
Schenck. is anxious to have him begin
serving time at the penitentiary.
Mrs. Patterson has managed to keep
out of Jail, although convicted some
time ago, by reason of the fact that
she has in her charge a little niece.
When she goes to Jail some one will
have to care for the child. Unless
Mrs. Patterson makes some arrange
ments by Friday the child will be
turned over to the matron of the
county Jail or to the Topeka Orphans
home.

CUT OFF PENSIONS
Southern Pacific Will Not Re-
ward Men Who Strike.
Company Will Give Warning to
All Its Employees.

San Francisco, July 18.-warning
was given to the trainmen on the
Southern Pacific today that IL they
strike at the instance of the four big
railroad brotherhoods they will for
felt their pension rights.
The warning will appear in the COM
pany's official publication Saturday.
The company says in part:
DO you know that the pension sys-
tenn is in danger?
"One of the pension rules is that
those who leave the service lose any
further claim to pension
THE employe who gives up his job
of his own accord gives up his right
to expect such reward.
Men Alone VIII Lose
You cannot abandon your work.
leaving the company, the train service
and the public to their fate. and be
faithful to the company or anything
connected with IT, at the same time,
"Enginemen, trair men and switch
men have demanded changed seized
ules and increased wages. The rail-
way managers have been compelled to
decline the demands. but have offered
to arbitrate all the points at Issue en-
braced within the demands. Notwith-
standing this. the representatives OF
the organization are taking a strike
vote
sThe men know that this company
is not responsible for the agitation
and it has no desire to change ex-
listing rates of pay or working con-
ditions to the disadvantage of the en-
ployes. This has not prevented the
company from offering to arbitrate,
because of its desire to maintain har-
monious and friendly relations with
its employees.
THE pension system costs the COM
pany between 100000 and 100000
annually. 1t costs the employees moth
ing. The only requirement that the
company makes is continuous and
faithful service"

New YOrk's Infantile Paralysis
Cases ON Decline.
TWenty-FOur Babes Have Died
in Last "a Hours.

New York, July 13.-Despite the
torrid wave, the rate of new cases in
the infantile paralysis epidemic con
tinued to show a marked decline in
figures tabulated by the health de-
partment today. The mercury reached
eighty-six at IL a. m. Only III new
cases have been reported in the last
twenty-four hours as against 1872 yes
terday Twenty-four babies have died
in the past twenty-four hours.
Since the beginning of the epidemic
1857 children have been stricken with
the disease and there have been 311
deaths or a mortality rate or more
than 20 per cent.
New York City health officers said
today that they were doing their best
to prevent the spread of infantile
paralysis from this city to other COM
munities.
The New Jersey state health depart
ment last night reported the total
number of cases in the state as sixty
with eleven new cases for the day.
The state health department has an
nounced that it would not declare a
quarantine against New York City, but
would leave that to the local boards.
Fear An Increase,
Watertown, n. Y, July 13.-Dr. H.
L. K. Shaw, head of the division of
CnllQ hygiene, new OEk, state nedltn
department, said today he feared that
the epidemic of infantile paralysis in
New York state would grow more Sc
rious as the summer progressed. Au-
gust and September are the worst
months, he said, the high mark being
reached in September usually.
DR.. Shaw spoke at a meeting of the
jefferson county medical society at
Alexandria bay. In his address he
stated that DR.. Simon Flexner of
New York is the man who has iso-
lated the germ of infantile paralysis
Flies May Be Cause.
The speaker said that the disease
could not be traced to a milk supply
but that the point of entry was the
nose, and that it could not come
through the mouth or through the
veins. Flies may be carriers as we'll
as human being, he said. He added
that if a Gordon was drawn around
New York for two weeks and every
child was refused exit. that the cpl
demic could be stopped, but there
would be civil war if we did such a
thing" he declared.

Resolutions urging Kansas senators ana 70
congressman to insist upon arbitration IN
the big railroad dispute. -
Probable selection of the second Iioor ~ %,
thesw. p. kirkpatrick building, Seveht ~
and Quincy streets. as the ne" NOME VI
Discussion of bringing experts here to
conduct membership campaign 1or the
Commercial Club.
These three propositions occupied
lifetime of the board of directors OF
the Commercial Club at their regular
meeting held today noon.
f. L. Copeland. treasurer for the
Santa Fe, addressed the directors he
urged upon them the adoption of reso-
buttons that would influence Kansas
statesmen in washington to insist
upon the settlement of the railroad
problem through the Interstate Com
merce Commission or by a legal tri-
bunal appointed by the president or
some other person in authority to
make such an appointment.
s.The business of this country can't
stan da strike such as will occur I'M
less this queshtfon is settled by arbi-
tration," said Mr.. Copeland. Right
now the union men throughout the
country are taking strike vote.
81 know the Santa Fe employees will
be as loyal as any in the country and
also realize that the Santa Fe is as
well equipped to Withstand such
strike as any railroad in the country
But the men of our road are power
less, if the strike vote carries, and
the magnitude of such a strike isn't
realized by the people of the country
Next week Mr.. Kouns goes to New
York for another conference We
must urge upon congress the need
of settiing this affair by arbitration
or through the Interstate Commerce
commission"
Resolution Is Adopted.
J.. S Dean framed a resolution in
accordance with Mr.. Copeland's sug-
gestions. The resolution was adopted
unanimously.
A proposition made by W. B. Kirk
patrick to enter into a ten-year lease
for the use of the second floor of his
building at Seventh and Quincy streets
for. the Commercial club at rental
much less than that paid for the pres
ent quarters and with floor space
The floor space of the building at
Seventh and Quincy is now 50X1 80
feet
But this is not all. Mr.. kirkpatrick
is now remodeling and adding a Sec
ond story to 50x70 feet building on
the west, the second floor of which
could be used by the Commercial club
The space in the combined buildings
will be $500 square feet
The main building will be used fol
dining and assembly rooms, arranged
so that both can be combined into one
room. The kitchen also will be placed
in the building. Tn new building will
be.utflized for billiard and recreation
room and wash room. There will be
sufficient space for two or three add.
tional pool and billiard tables.
w. c. Carswell, chairman of the
building committee was instructed Il
complete arrangements with Mr.
Kirkpatrick and report back to the
board of directors.
There is a firm in New York which
recently operated in Oklahoma CITY
and boosted its membership severa
hundred. That's the firms business
and J. S. Dean. believes the Topeka
Commercial club should enter into
similar contract. Before anything il
done relative to the matter a number
of pertinent questions will be forward
ed ITO the. New York people.

BILLION DAMAGES
Foreigners Will Ask That
Amount From Mexico.
Claims for Destroyed Property
Amount to Vast Sums.

Washington. July 13.-The mini
mum estimate placed by state depart
ment officials on the claims American
and other foreigners will prefer
against Mexico when a sta BILE govern
ment is re-esta blished there is $780,
100000 1t was said that including
the claims to be presented by the
will reach $1,000. 100000. The claims
of American citizens are estimated at
three fourths of all except those of
the Catholic church.
The bulk of the claims will be based
upon the destruction of oil wells, min
ing property, ranches and timber
The Catholic churchs claim will be
based on cOnfiscations under govern
ment DEGREES and wanton destruction
and seizure of its property by military
force.
Ways of Adjustment.
There are three ways for arriving
at a just determination of the claims
and method for settling them under
consideration by the state department.
They are:
First-A Mexican commission. This
is lightly considered. as it is believed
the settlement would not be expedited
by a commission composed wholly of
the interested party.
SeconG-A mixed commission COM
posed of Mexicans, Americans, Eng
Dutch representation.
Third-An arbitral commission. 1t
is considered probabl that Mexico
would prefer an arbitral body to the
mixed commission.
1t was made plain today that the
United States does not share with
Mexico any responsibility for injuries
done property of foreigners in Mexico.
Whatever government there may be in
Mexico at the time of settlement, not
withstanding changes m the interim,
| will alone be responsible
No Partially to L. S.
Plans of this governm spt for the
rehabilitatio of Mexico will rot be
supported by European nations unless
they are made co-sharers in the guar
antee of Mexico's debts. A diplomat
said today that France has a lien to
the extert of Sc u per cent on Mexico's
/ custom receipts. American bankers
! he declared, cannot count on customs
receipts to liquidate obligations to
/ American citizens.
THE nationals of European nations
| have suffered vastly during the revolu-
| tions in Mexico this diplomat said,
| both by reason of the destruction Of
! their property and by depreciation of
the value of their property. Mexico's
debts to them must be discharged as
promptly as those to citizens of the
United States.
I'VE will demand the same charac-
ter of guarantees as those which may
be given the United States. France
has made loans to Mexico upon the
guarantee of Sc y per cent of the total
customs receipts. Foreign nations will
not assent to any proposal that Amer
lean citizens shall appropriate all that
France has left of these receipts
There must be an equitable arrange
ment in which no favoritism shall be
SHOWN or undue advantage taken"
