IN HANDS OF GOVT.
Foreign Trade Delegates Check
Future Up to Administration.
Railroads No Longer Adequate,
Says Smith of st. Louis.

Chicago, April 25.-The future of
American business and industry is in
the hands of the government. With
proper cooperation America will out
distance all competitors; without it
she will lose ground.
That is the summary of opinions
expressed by nationally known BUSH
ness men attending the sixth national
foreign trade convention here today.
Development of the international
and waterways of the country was
E. Smith, St. Louis, president of the
Mississippi Valley Waterways associa-
ton. In an address to the convention
he said without the waterways it will
be impossible to move the vast ton
mage to the seaports quickly. The rail-
roads, he said, are no longer adequate
to steadily increasing transportation
demands.
A federal improvement program, he
said, would open the inland waterways
to all traffic and provide means for
the free movement of materials from
all parts of the country to seaports
and thus promote our foreign trade.
E. E. Pratt, vice president of the
Overseas Products corporation, said
American business suffered abroad
thru the failure of the American gov
eminent to stop the fraud perpetrated
by foreign agencies. He asked CO.

and diplomatic service.

export trade, said f. r. Sites, treas

pany.

FAVOR DAYLIGHT SAVING

DIR. H. L. CLARK, City Physician
TT is a wonderful opportunity for
healthful recreation in the open air
and many take advantage of this
chance"
w. H. EASTMAN-"It is the
grandest thing that ever happened: 1t
gives office people a chance to get
out of doors for a longer period of
daylight than has ever been true be-
fore. like it and hope it continues"
J. r. BURROW-"I believe it Is a
mighty fine proposition. In my bust
ness one hour of work. in the early
morning is worth two or three hours
in the afternoon. believe many busi-
ness men feel the same way about it.
l like to have my employees free to
leave the bank about O'Clock in the
afternoon but in order to do so they
must get to work at about o'clock.
Then they have several hours left for
recreation. There is no business that
permits recreation in the morning
and 1t is the poorest time for it any
way. l see no reason why people
should lie in bed until the sun is two
or three hours high in the sky. 1t
seems that the chief objection comes
from the farmers. However, in my
knowledge of successful farmers l
would say that they are all at work
during the busy season as soon as it is
light enough to work and work con-

Mr.. Palmer said:

The preliminary hearing in the case

with making a criminal assault on
Mrs. Eva Mulinix, the young wife of a
farmer living four miles northwest of
Grove, was begun this afternoon in
the court of Topeka before Judge Rad
Lee. Frank Dreaming, a well known
local attorney. was at first retained by
Anderson in his defense, together with
Elisha Scott, colored. When the case
was called this morning Scott was in
the district court and Dreaming arose
with the statement:
He will not be in this case:''
Dreaming Not Present.
When the hearing began this after
noon Scott was present in his capacity
as attorney for the defense, but Dren-
ming could not be founud. There was
much speculation among court Of
ficials as to why he had not showed
up. considering his statement made
in the morning.
Mrs. Mulinix was the first witness
on the stand, and she told practically
the same story as she related to the
officers following the arrest of An

children were taking the examination
and the proceedings in the court room
could be heard thru the big transoms
between the two rooms. When ii
became evident that the pupils were
paying more attention to the trial than

that the windows be closed.

Mrs. Mulinix stated that she was
working in her garden on the after
noon of April IA, while her husband
was away, and that Anderson, who
was blowing in nearby field, induced
the children to go into a pasture and
pick flowers and that Anderson then
attacked her after she had entered the
house. The alleged attack was not
reported until two days later because

negro would carry into execution his
threats to kill her and her husband il
