NEW VOTING MACHINE
Another Topeka Man Has Applied for
Patent

Patent rights on the design of a vot-
ing machine, for which he has COM
pleted a working model of one of the
computation chambers, has been asked
from the patent office by ]. H. Nc
Leod, 1852 Fillmore street, accord
ing to a statement made in the city
hall today by the inventor. Mcleod
brought the chamber, a simple device
despite it's several parts, to the city
hall today for the inspection of the
city officials.
Mcleod. before coming to Topeka
two years ago, was an inventor and
manufacturer of automatic scales in
Chicago. His products are now being
manufactured, he says, by a Chicago
factory.
Mcleod has not yet built an entire
machine. Il have just fin1hed this
chambers" he said today, and have
obtained prices on material. All the
parts are steel. I figure I can make a
200-name machine for $3.50. Provid-
ing I find I can put some of them on
the market, I will probably organize
a company and make them in Topeka"
Mcleod stated that other than that
his plans were indefinite.
The Mcleod machine as it was out
lined in design, to those in the city
hall today, would be one of few parts.

SCHOOL MEN TO MEET
Twelfth Annual Conference of Super
intendents in Emporia.

The twelfth annual conference of
superintendent of schools, in Kansas
cities of the first and second classes.
will be held in Emporia october 10,
20 and 81. Several important results
and decisions are expected to be
reached in the conference. One will
be the probable establishment of a
continuous school survey for the cities
of Kansas. A more definite plan to
make Kansas schools community CEN
tiers will also be reached. Much in
terest attaches to the discussion OF the
junior high schools which are a new
state.
The program of legislation to be
presented during the next session of
the legislature will probably be fixed
at this meeting. Conspicuous in the
changes of laws that will be asked,
will be the removal of arbitrary
limits set for the school tax levieS, and
provisions insuring more flexibility in
the handling of the school funds so
that a surplus in one department may
be diverted to exc out a temporary
shortage in another fund, saving the
school systems of cities of the first
class thousands of dollars.
Topeka is well represented in the
meeting. Friday afternoon Superin-
tendent H. B. Wilson will talk on
Minimum Essentials in Elementary
School Subjects. the Organization of
the Same, and Some Steps Advisable
to Bring About Greater Economy of
Time in Education A. ]. Stout,
principal of the Topeka high school,
will tell of the Topeka Way" of in
cooperating Bible study in the school
curriculum. c. c. Brown, state high
school supervisor, will give an address
on the Problem of Expansion of
Credits in the High School"
Mr.. Wilson, Mr.. Brown and Mr..
Stout will leave tomorrow noon for
the conference which begins Thurs
day afternoon.

APART 20 YEARS
Mother and Daughter Meet at Rock

For twenty-three years separated,
with a deep longing in each of their
hearts to see the other, Mrs. Abby
Conger of Rochester, Ind, and Mrs.
Bessie Whitlow, 2519 Buchanan street,
came together Tuesday in the Rock
Island station without recognition.
Mrs. Whitlow, all aflutter to see the
mother of her infant memory expect
ed on an incoming train, rushed down
ahead of train time and sat down to
wait. Mrs. Conger, eager to see her
daughter once more, stepped lightly
from the passenger coach and COM
posed herself in the stations waiting
room until her child should espy her.
There they sat side by side. An on
locker could have slipped them the
word, had he known the need of it,
They're so much alike. They look
like sisters
Mrs. Whitlow called up her husband
on the telephone She was told that
her mother was already in town and
was looking for her. Mrs. Conger had
called up some time before and had
given description of herself A min

sorrow and want. The only thing for
the children was a orphans home

WORDS FOR DEEDS
Wilson Talks but Does Not Act,
Says Roosevelt.
Hughes viii Make Good All
His Promises.
POOR EXAMPLE FIR COUNTRY
Causes Friends to Refuse to
Sing National Airs.
President Has DulIed Moral
Senses of the People.

Aboard Roosevelt's Train. Corbin,
Ky. oct. 1S.-In his first speech on
his western stumping tour for Cover
nor Hughes. Colonel Roosevelt today
gave one of his specific reasons why
the Republican candidate should sue
coed President Wilson at the White
House.
Wilson" said Roosevelt, by adroit
elocution has stilled the spirit of pa
triotism in the nations breast. Against
this man of mere elocution, we have
nut in Mr.. Hughes, the man whose
intellectual straight forwardness;
whose rugged strength of character
and whose courageous sincerity or
purpose, give us guarantee that every
promise he makes, either expressed or
implied, will be made good by his ac-
tons"
Roosevelt's speech here was i'm
promptu.
Il feel" he said, that primarily the
great count against Mr.. Wilson is that
by his substitution of words for DEEDS
and his betrayal of his fine words by
his deeds, he has loosed the spring of
American patriotism and has dulled
the moral sense of our people. More
over in addition to the fact that his
deeds have made his lofty utterances
matters of contemptuous derision, some
of his words themselves nave eaten
into the soul of our people with the
acid of degradation
Sets Bad Example.
"a little while ago in one of our
large cities a school teacher declined
to Iailow the children in his class to
sing patriotic songs. 1t is small Won
der that such should be the case when
the chief executive sets the kind OF
example that President Wilson has set
II the president is inspired by the
sinking of the Lusitania with the loss
of 800 lives only to make his remark
about being too proud to fight, it is
not TO be wondered at that some of his
friends should feel reluctant to sing
the Star Spangled Banner
eff the pI resident never ventures to
raise his voice in protesting against
the treacherous murder of Boyd and
Adair and their troopers, those who
follow him are to be excused for re-
fusing to sing America. The election
of Mi. Hughes is the only way by
which we can now restore the tone
of the national conscience and give tc
our people once more the feeling OF
the duty of patriotism

That the people of Topeka do not
realize that Washburn will give more

to give to Washburn in money or

Robert Stone at the noon rally of the
Washburn workers today. More bene-
fit will accrue to Topeka thru Wash
burn than can accrue TO Washburn
frim Topeka" said Mr.. Stone. AS an
actual matter of fact the raising OF an
endowment fund for Washburn Is
really an endowment for Topeka for
keeping WashbuIn here and growing
and doing good work means untold
wealth and progress for the city thru
the highest class of citizenship.
TT would be much less difficult to
move Washburn to some other city
than it is to get out and raise the
money in Topeka to keep Washburn
here and there is no doubt but that
the majority of the people of Topeka
want Washburn IN Topeka"
What Another City Did.
1t was pointed out Today that the
people of Sioux City, Ia. had raised
more money for the endowment of
Morningsidc college there than To-
polka has been asked to raise for
Washbuln and Sioux City is of con-
siderably less population and wealth
than Topeka.
IA large number of Topeka people
have not been seen in this campaign"
said Prof. Wheeler, captain of one of
the teams of men workers. "a woman
came to me today and asked why she
had not been visited and she wanted
to be interested in the good work at
Washburn and had a subscription OF
| $25 ready for some days and then
hunted me up to be sure Washburn
received it, / have had numerous
folks ask why they had not been
called upon. The reason is it takes
times for the workers to get around
and they are doing the best they can.
The endowment fund went right
ahead at the same old rate of speed
that has characte rized the movement
since the campaign began, the reports
showing over two thousand dollars
pledged during the twenty-four hours
and the teams reporting practically
the same amounts as on other days.

ARE ANGRY
English Peers Accuse the e. s.
of Being Unneutral.
They Claim Assistance Was
Given Submarine Raiders.

London, Oct. 1s.-Direct charges
that the United States had violated its
neutrality and thinly yelled innuen-
does of collision between American
officials and the commander of the
German submarine U-53 were made
in the house of lords by several of the
most prominent peers in England.
They elected froh Viscount Grey,
minister of foreign affairs, a statement
that Great Britain would say no word
to the United States government on
the incident until Washington had
made public the official report, which
is generally expected.
The foreign minister stated quite
plainly that Great Britain is awaiting

view had been set forth, England
might see fit to make representations
to the United States
The charges of neutrality violation
were made by Lord Charles Beresford.

noted speakers.
Grey's Demands.
Earl Grey made the direct demand
that the United States governm ent
give assurances that the newspaper
report describing how United States
torpedo boat destroyers sheered off at
the request of the German submarine
commander to make room for the tor
pedoing of a British merchantmen,
was untrue.
Lord Beresford bitterly criticized
the United States note making public
the position of the American govern
ment on the question of belligerent
subm arines entering its harbors.
He declared that American view OF
what constituted neutrality was
"comical."
The submarine note, he asserted
was too brief, to say the least"
Resent British Charges.
Washington, Oct. 1S.-Word has
been received here that Lord Beres-
ford and other members of the house
of lords had accused the United States
of a violation of neutrality in connce-
ton with the operations of the U-53
The charge appeared to be based on
the report that the American naval
vessels got out of the way to permit
the German submarine to torpedo
merchant ships.
The news was received with sur
prise and resentment by American
naval officers
