learned that the 8:11 was stalled at a
certain point, not ten miles away, by
train robbers. A posse in swift au-
tOmObiIes was suggested by Dan.
Then he eased back and wondered
if due diligence would .ObstrUCt the
robbers before they got away. Just
as he calculated, the robbers had no
easy task in getting into the express
car and forcing its safe. Half an
hour went by when, from the city,
half a dozen automobiles dashed
down the crossing road. The rob-
beTs were surrounded and secured
after a struggle. The booty of those
who had gone through the train and
held up the passengers was restored
to them.
One among them vOciferOusly
glOated over his restored money.
1--WE got back the price of my hap
piness!'' he cried joyously. How did
it come abOut?" And when Dams
share in the transaction was known,
he added to that 5O-cent piece a crisp
new $1OO bill.

showing Dan a photograph of the

she actually smiles in the picture to
let you know how grateful and
thankful she feels toward you"

contribution, and, being a hero and a

Washington. March 17.-American
exports and imports decreased almost
$3.50, 100000 in February-the first
month of unrestricted German U-boat
Notwithstanding to a report of the
department of commerce issued today.
This is the largest loss in export and
import trade in a single month ever
reported.
The report shows that exports fell
off $147,032,959 compared with the
previous high month, while exports
decreased 42,239.6S5.
Government officials attributed a
large part of the enormous decrease in
exports and imports to fear of the
ruthless German submarine cam
paign The total exports for Feb
ruary amounted to s466, 523,034, while
imports totalled S199,576,597.
Gold imports during February
amounted to $1O3,766,495, while the
exports of gold were $22, 06S,059.

Commissioner of Finances An
nOunceS for Reelection.
Says He Believes One Good
Term Deserves Another.
HIS RECORD is A GOOD ONE
He Has Been Faithful i'm Look
ing After City's Interests.
Responsible for Increase i'm
Funds and Daily Balances.

W. H. WATSON, commissioner of
finance and revenue, today made his
formal announcement as a candidate
for reelection for a second term.
Il claim" said Commissioner Was
son, that one good term deserves
another. 1t is customary to give a
man another term when he has made
good and l am perfectly willing to
point to the Achievements of my ad-
ministration as a proof that I have
made good In addition, 1 have been
on the job every minute of the time.
Achievements of Commissioner
Wassons administration when bunch
ed together truly do loom up large.
They come as a result of Commission
Ter Wasson's aggreSsiveness and bust
ness sagacity, backed by Mayor House
and board of commissioners willing
to aid him IN every way possible and
unwilling to use their power to fetter
him.
The assets of the city during the
two years of Commissioner Wasson's
term have been 2 u million dollars.
He challenges anyone to indicate
where a single dollar has been mis-
spent. In addition he has handled a
half million dollars worth of city
bonds, and, has sold everyone of them
direct to citizens Of Topeka, thus max
ing it possible for them to purchase at
par.

KEEP CLOSER TAB
State Schools Will Account for
All Fees in Future.
Maintenance Appropriations
Can't Be Used for Salaries.

When a future legislature desires
to know the salary or rather the
earnings of an instructor in the state
schools, that information will be
available. The recent legislature pro-
vided a few paragraphs for the ap-
preparation bills which will give the
state auditor accurate information
concerning the money received by COL
lege heads. Under the new provision
of the legislature detailed informa-
ton concerning the use of the fee
fund will be supplied by the schools
Several weeks ago Fred Knapp, state
auditor, turned the searchlight on the
fee system as practiced at the state
university and the State Agricultural
college The taking of fees not only
seemed perfectly legal. but there was
no system by which the taxpayers
could determine the sum received by
college head in the course of a year
A $4,000 a year professor might draw
down $4,000 in extras" thru lee
lures" and other activities. The money
was supposed to be paid into the state
fee fund. In reality, tho. the money
! seems to have gone direct to the pro-
feSsors with just a notation on the
general footing of the school fees.
Change the System.
AS a result of Knapps statements.
the legislature provided that a detailed
report concerning all fees shall be filed
! with the state auditor. This report
! will show something more than mere
totals. 1t will give information con-
corning the date and source of all
| funds, as well as reason for payment.
| The manner and occasion for dis
bursement of these funds will also be
| known to the auditor Thru this sys-
tenn. the state will be able to keep
detailed check on the earnings of all
instructors in the state schools
Under the present law the state
board of administration has held that
the college heads We're entitled to their
earnings thru lectures. experiments"
and other sources. 1t was commended
that an instructor employed on an 49,
/ hour week schedule might make jun
keting trips and draw down extras
in some cases equal to or in excess of
| the salary paid by the state. The
| legislature also provided against the
use of the maintenance fund in the
payment of salaries to instructors.
Under the appropriations for the state
schools, separate provision is made
/ for salaries and wages. with a second
appropriation items for maintenance.

IT'S ALL BLUFF?
Stamp People Know Law Will
Stick, TrOutman Asserts.
And 1t Will Apply to Sperry &
Hutchinson, Too.

James A. TrOutman. attorney for
the retail dealers of Kansas who were
behind the trading stamp legislation,
intimated today that John S. Dean, at
torney for certain trading stamp peo-
pie, is bluffing when he says the new
law does not apply to his clients.
The bill passed both houses salts
factorily," said Mr. Troutman. 1T is
free from legal objections and l have
no doubt it would put the trading
stamps out of business.
The Sperry & Hutchinson people
fought the bill from the start, opposed
every amendment and even tried to
get the governor to veto it after it was
passed. Mr.. Dean, in behalf of the
S, & H. people, went before the con-
ference committe and tried to get
them to agree upon a bill of an entir ely
different nature.
Il would not accuse Mr. Dean of
bluffing, of course, but l know the
passage of the bill is great disap-
pointment to his clients
Ever since the bill passed the SEN
ate Mr. Dean has been smiling public
ly and insinuating that the measure
is worthless. His public smile broad
ened when the bill was amended in
the house and agreed upon in con-
ference.
Test 1t in Court.
He contends that it was so amended
that it does not apply to the S. & I'll.
trading stamp business conducted in
Kansas and that besides that it will be
held to be unconstitutional as soon as
it gets to the courts.
An amendment by Stone in the
house allows any merchant the priv
ilege of giving and redeeming stamps,
providing he redeems them from
goods upon his own shelves. The
trading stamp people maintain that it
will be a very easy matter for them
to arrange to meet that condition
without violating the law and without
the payment of the heavy license.
AS passed the law provides for a
license fee of from $4,000 to $1,000
for each concern using stamps or
coupons, the size of the fee being
based upon population. In Shawnee
county the fee for each concern using
stamps or coupons would be $1,000 a
year under the law.
The law will go into effect upon its
publication in the statute books, but
there is a saving clause in the bill
which gives retailers until January l
of next year and the wholesalers until
July l of this year, to get rid of their
stamp and coupon business.

HIS LAST UKASE
Gar Places Welfare of Empire
Above Personal Aims.
Manifesto Announces Abdica'
ton of Himself and Son.

Petrograd, March 1.-THE follow
ing is the text OF the imperial mani
festo in which the Russian emperor
announced his abdication and that o.
his son:
I'VE, Nicholas II, by the grace OF
God, emperor of all the Russias,
car of Poland and grand duke of
Finland, etc, make known to all
our faithful subjects.
In the day of the great struggle
against a foreign foe who has been
striving for three years to enslave
our country God has wished to send
to Russia a new and painful trial.
Interior troubles threaten to have
fatal repercussion on the final out
come of the war. The deStinieS of
Russia and the honor of our dear
fatherland require. that the war be
prosecuted at all costs to victor
ious end. The cruel enemy is MAX
ing his last effort and the moment
is near when our valiant army, in
concert with those of our glorious
allies, will definitely chastise the
foe.
For Unity Against National Foe.
In these decisive days in the life
of Russia, we believe our people
should have the closest union and
organization of all their forces for
the realization of speedy victory
For tbs reason in accord with the
duma of the empire. we have con-
sidered it desirable to abdicate the
throne of Russia and lay aside our
supreme power. Not wishing to be
separated from our loved son we
leave our heritage to our brother
the Grand Duke Michael AleXan-
drovitch, blessing bis advent to the
throne of Russia. We hand over
the government to our brother in
full union with the representatives
OF the nation who are seated in he
legislative chambers, taking this
step with an inviolable oath in the
name of our well beloved country.
We call on all faithful sons of the
fatherland to fulfill their sacred
patriotic duty in this painful mo-
ment of national trial and to aid our
brother and the representative of
the nation in bringing Russia into
the path Of prosperity and glory
May God aid Russia
