Unpublished Incident of Taft'S
Visit to Kansas.
Newspaper Men Were Too Busy
With Other Matters.
SOUGHT PARDON FOR SON
Woman KneIt in Front of
Presidents Speeding Auto.
She Held in Her Hand a Petit
ton for Clemency.

How a convict's mother threw her
self in front of ex-President Taft's
automobile in Leavenworth in 1911 in
an endeavor to gain clemency for her
son, is an unpublished story told by
J. N. Dolley, former chairman of the
Republican state central committee.
And the woman was successful. Her
son obtained a pardon from the presi-
dent several weeks later.
Following a speech delivered on
we drove out the government road to
Fort Leavenworth," said Mr.. Dolley.
THE president, two secret service men
and myself were in the leading auto
mobile and we were going at a fast
clip.
Suddenly woman dressed in black
with veil over her face ran into
the road several yards in front of us,
kneeled and raised her hands as if in
prayer. I noticed then that she held
big envelope in one hand.
Look out cried the president, as
he Sprang to his feet. We were all
startled. The chauffeur drew the car
to stop not five feet from the kneel-
ing woman. and the two secret service
men jumped to the ground and car
ried her aside none too gently.
Don't arrest her. admonished the
president. Find out what she wants.
The woman refused to talk but
presented the envelope to the secret
service men. That evening in the
presidents private car we opened the
envelope. 1t contained a plea for a
pardon for her son in the federal
prison and contained a petition, ask
ing clemency, signed by hundreds in
his home county in Illinois
Take a note of that the president
told his secretary, and we'll see what
we can do about it
Il have learned that the young man
obtained a pardon. Newspapermen
were busy in Leavenworth writing
their stories at the time and not a
word of it has ever been published.

The REPORTER

A reporter is a curious combination
of legs and nerves. Where his legs
won't take him his nerve will, and
where his nerve will not take him,
his city editor will often desire him
to go. He is filled with hope and
despair, even as a balloon is often
filled with gas and small holes. Like
a balloon he is often up in the air, but
generally lands all whole on solid
earth.
Like charity he suffers long and his
wisdom and cunning and skill are az
the artillery officer. His English is a
gripping flavor of high brow and
slang. He voice, when questioning
the husband of an eIoped wife may be
as the sympathetic COO of the gentle
dove or as harsh, stern and firm as
the bark of a German father. He
will talk to n convict in the early
morning hours in a. cell, and chin with
a prina donna in her luxurious apart
ments at a late hour at night. He is
self confident to outsiders, but prop
erly modest among his co-tems.
! He disbelieveth all things except
his paper; he feareth no evil except a
scoop; he has charity for all and cyni-
cism for the same. His name is ie-
gion and his race shall endure for
! ever. R.M.C.

state may use the big lake for the

institution through legislative ap-
propriation That is the plan Oh W.
{. TegIneier, state fish and game war
den who favors placing the Dig ldhe
under state control
The lake is now divided by the
imaginary Kansas Missouri line. one
half OF the lake is in Kansas, Wnlle
the other hall is in Missouri. Nelther
state can now assume control OF SUI
Dervision of the water and lack OF
federal supervision is said to have re-
suited in the illegal taking of tons OF
fish from the big pond. Now Teg-
uefr wants Kansas to take over the
lake and make it a natural fishing re-
sort and an institution for the propa-
cation of fish. The lake would be
under the supervision of the state
fish and game warden.
Plans outlined by the Kansas war
den this week would make the lake
one of the greatest fishing resorts in
the central west. He declares that
the water is now stocked with tons
of bass ard crappie and under care
full supervision would furnish natural
camping ground and fishing resort for
hundreds of sportsmen. The lake,
which was for merly the bed of the
Missouri river, is fifteen miles long
and about three miles wide. During
heavy food stages in the Missouri
valley, the Missouri river sometimes
overfiows into the lake.
It Needs Supervision.
Either Kansas or Missouri or the
federal government should supervise
the lake" said Tegmeier. 1T is a nat
ural fishing resort, but law viola
tons in the last few years have re-
suited in the illegal taking of many
tons of bass and era ppie from the wa
ters The lake should furnish the best
of sport for hundreds Of people, but
must have supervision"
The Kansas fish and game warden
would re-stock the lake with fish
from the state hatcheries at Pratt In
a couple of years. he believes, the sup
ply would be sufficient to meet ali
ordinary fishing demands. Where
fish larger than produced at the Pratt
hatchery are desired for delivery to
Kansas ponds and streams, they might
be taken from Doniphan lake, under
the Tegmeier plan.
1T is a wonderful opportunity to
ma Ike Kcnsas n great fishing resort,
said Tegmeier. Before definite ac-
ton can be taken, the legislature must
act and congress must also take a
hand. 4 measure looking to the de-
sired change will be submitted to con-
gress probably during the present
session"
should Kansas take over the big
lake as part of its property, an APP
preparation would doubtless be re-
quired for the upkeep and patrol OF
the lake as well as for supplying il
with fish from the state hatcheries

Trials and Temptations OF
Hotel Men i'm Kansas.
Offered Big Money to Wink at
Violation of Law.
WANTED TO RUN A POKER GAME
One Man Offers 5000 a Week
for Privilege.
Guests Frequently Attempt to
Corrupt the Bell Hop.
SATURDAY

Being a good hotel keeper morally,
is mighty hard job even in Kansas,
according to H. G. Humphreys of the
National hotel. Yet. while gold gilt
tiers temptingly at times. as induces
ment for a depression from rigid rules !
and regulations set forth by an exact
ing legislature from the short grass
compliance with the same has proven
a paying proposition in the long run.
Turning down a $500 a week pro-
position for permission to operate a
poker room during a big convention
isn't a bit easy. Neither is il pleasant.
nor profitable, on the surface for To-
peka hotel keeper to note and put
quietus on successful attempts of
guests to corrupt a bell hop into bring
ing wine and women into a hosiery
Nor to put firm foot on the dice box
and cigarette proposition. Yet it pays.
Guest Took Flowers.
Here's an example. The other day
a guest entered the dining room of the
National hotel and was seen marching
out in the lobby with a bouquet OF
flowers under his arms. Now the
management digs down into its peck
cts every day and extracts a number of
dollars for floral decoration in the
dining hall. Mr.. Humphreys APP

you're working on the theory that
everything there belongs to the
guests, why didn't you take It all ? ----
Now If we were winking at a poker
game, selling of cigarettes and other
things prohibited by law he could have
come right back at u.s. said Mr.
Humphreys. 1T is well to have q
clear conscience in keeping a hotel In
Kansas"
But $500 a week offers for a poker
game, with good bond to cover all
costs of prosecution added, doesn't
grow on trees. So it keeps a hotel man
reading his Bible, and also the penal
ties attached for breaking the law, to
keep up enough moral courage to re-
sist temptations.

The Government Offers That Much
for the Location of Kicker.

1t will be worth 5000 to anybody
who will furnish information leading
to the arrest of Charles G.. Kicker,
the Yates Center National banker,
who was convicted of embezzlement.
Circulars to that effect are being dis
tributed today from the office of o. T.
Wood, United States marshal.
Notwithstanding the circular there
is an impression that Ricker's where
abouts are known but that federal
authorities are unable to reach him
because of international complications
Kicker was convicted of looting the
Yates Center National bank more than
two years ago. He left Yates Center
in his automobile and it was found
outside of town the next day. So far
as the public knows no trace of the
missing banker has been found since.

after a paving contractor left his Of
flee with all the paving, the East
Side sewer and perhaps couple of
bridges the city will be furnishing a
good deal of work.
The paving to be done this summer
in Topeka will cost in the neighbor-
hood of S165,OOO. The work on the
East Side sewer will run pretty well
through the summer and after that is
done there will be considerable work
incident to connecting the houses up
with the sewer. There are two bridges
upon which work has been started
and which are still to complete. Then
there may be a couple more bridges
erected during the summer.

formally apologized to Germany for
the action of Swiss students and other
persons in tearing down the German
flag from the consulate at Lausanne
The German foreign office has de-

act and has demanded that the flag
be hoisted again and protected by the
Swiss authorities.
