FRAT BOYS TURN OUT
They Lead the Applause at the Or
pheum Fashion Show.

Twenty frat boys from Washbu-n
college located themselves in the
'baldheaded row. at the Orpheum last
night and nearly split the welkin in
their applause of the Washburn soror-
ity girls presenting the Fashion
Week display there the first half of
the week.
The Washburn bellies proved them
selves game" and acted as naturally
as though they were out on the
campus in their smart new frocks in
stead of before an interested movie
audience.
That style is in the wearer'' was
shown conclusively last night. As for
the tired business manfred of hack
neyed vaudeville acts-gazing on the
dimples and peach blow compilations
of Washburn's pride" the girls
might have worn overalls without his
noticing the difference. The girls ac-
quilted themselves perfectly in their
tableaux. Stage fright was further
away than Siberia from their minds
and they chatted and laughed as gaily

HUGHES ROOSEVELT
Newspaper Poll Shows They Are Lead
ing G. o. p. Possibilities.

New York, April 5.-The New York
American has polled the various states
to sound the sentiments among Re-
pubIicans toward candidates for the
presidential nomination. kilograms
were sent to trained political observers
in each state, as follows:
please wire sentiment Republican
presidential nominee. De Republicans
favor Hughes, Roosevelt or whom?
Will they be affected by apparent
reconciliation between Roosevelt
Root. Lodge and other straight line
Republicans
Thirty-four answers were received.
They showed a wide division in the
ranks of the party. There appears to
be much sentiment on the surface for
Justice Hughes. with strong under
current for Roosevelt. This evidently
is held in leash by astute followers of
the colonel and is likely to sweep all
opposition to the four winds at the
psychological moment. Other candi-
dates are far outdistanced.
A large majority of the state delega-
tions will go to the national conven-
ton at Chicago uninstructed. A few
will cast a ballot or two for favorite
sons in fulfillment of the wishes of
voters expressed at preferential pri-
maries or of resolutions adopted in
state conventions

is in Topeka shaking hands with his
many business friends and making a
general inspection of the service and

Superintendent Horton gave a dinner
to fifteen of the employees of the To-

young men who hands you the little
yellow envelope with its message en-
closed described as some big feed"
was over. they all retired to the as
sembly hall in the hotel and there a
talk, with efficiency as the keynote,
was given During this gathering the
interesting fact developed that the
company keeps an accurate record OF
every known mistake which is made
in the local office and it is discussed
as to cause and effect and how it may
be remedied and avoided hereafter.
1.-The company wants you to fit
yourself for something better for they
are constantly in need of competent
help. If you will study, they stand
willing and ready to help you in those
studies and you will be advanced both

said superintendent Horton to the en-
ployees.
C. O. Blandon, commercial mana
ger, Denver. Colo, also was present
and was asked to mention some of the
mistakes made here on which discus
sion could be held. THE truth of the
matter is I find the Topeka office far
ahead of the general run of offices of
this class and there is nothing special
would mention" he said.

were: C. B. Horton, Omaha. Neb.

arrived in time to deliver the princi-
pal address of the evening. 1t was an
important occasion and one that Mr..
Stone wouldn't have missed for a con-

and they didn't spare any expense in
doing so.

by the two organizations.
Next came an address by Eli G. Fos-

SURE ENOUGH!
We're going to have a rebuilt team,
Boss John has gone albumin
He's going to get some hittin' steam,
He's tired of scoreleSs buntin'.
This column predicted last Thurs
day that the Savages would suffer a
shake-up unless they showed a change
of form. And the prediction came
true Monday morning.
1t was the most natural thing in the
world to expect. Topeka has a re-
juvenated baseball enthusiasm. Saw
ages efforts to give the town win
ner is responsible for this enthusiasm,
and Savage is not the kind of man to
wait until the pot has boiled dry be-
fore skimming off the scum.
1t will probably cost more money
than the club can afford to get players
! just now, but the Topeka magnate is
banking on Topeka's loyalty and sup
| port and there are few real fans who
will not realize his position and COM
mend his action
| The race is yet young. A winning
streak through one series will put any
| second division club neck and neck
with any of the leaders, and the To-
peka management expects to hit that
winning streak at once.
| The Three-I league has suspended
| the fourteen-player limit rule and now
clubs can carry as many men as they
| see fit. The extra men are needed,
it is said, because of the accumulation
of doubleheaders that will have to be

league and Sanders recently pitched a
two-hit game for Fort Dodge.
Pete Henning, the first find of Saw
age on his hunt for new talent comes
to Topeka with a good reputation and
he will find his pitching opportunities
cut out for him. Henning was with
the X. c. Feds last season.
Elmer Bearg. former Washburn
football star who has been chosen To-
peka H S. coach for next fall, will
take pointers in coaching from Alonzo
Stage at Chicago this summer.
