British Tanker Picks Up Help
less Vessel in MidOcean.a
Found Captain Injured and Of
ficers in Irons.

London, Aug IA wireless dis
patch received at Queenstown from
the British tank steamer War Khan
says the tanker has picked up another
steamer in midocean, finding the crew
drunk, the captain incapacitated from
injuries and some of the other officers
in irons.
The crew of the War Khan arrested
the mutinous crew of the other steam
er and supplied enough men to. take
the steamer to Brest. The name of
the steamer on which the crew mu-
tinted could not be deciphered from
the wireless dispatch.
Special dispatches from Queens
town say that the ship on which the
mutiny occurred was the american
steamer Marisya." They add that ne
gro stokers on board mutinied and
imprisoned the officers. The ship
carried several thousand casks of
whisky.
Available shipping records do not
contain the name of an American
steamer Marisya. The British steamer
Marislxo sailed from Baltimore July

City Commissioners Fail To
Take Any Action.

Speaking in behalf of the business
hen Of Topeka and the taxpayers in
order 70 Let the city commissioners
know that business interests were back
OF them. Charles L. Mitchell and Earl
1AiSers this morning appeared at a
special session of the commissioners
favoring ? 80 per cent hike in the
wages of city firemen.
o. Dissatisfaction Growing.
= There has been a growing dissatis-
faction among local firemen for a
period of almost two years. during
which time they have tried in every
legitimate, peaceful and absolutely
gentlemanly manner to try and induce
the city commissioners to pay them a
wage that would approach the we'll
Known rise in the cost of living.
.as,Foilowing a growing impression
that local firemen might follow strik-
ing tactics used by firemen of other
Efties. the interest of a number of
pfominent. influential business men in
Topeka has been aroused in an effort
a. get the firemen what it is believed
they are entitled to and avoid any pos
stbility of a strike and the resultant
grave. danger to Topeka property.
AS Mitchell stated this morning the
only assets the city has are the valu-
able property interests that are great
Az lessened in value by an increase in
IRE hazard. Any disruption of the
work of the departm ent lessons its
efficiency. Thru the inability of the
department. to pay a satisfactory wage
tine efficiency is even now much be-
low the standard it once maintained.
More money is needed to bring 1t up
to the old-time efficiency.
No Action Taken.
The commissioners took no action
on the question this morning. Until
such time as the firemen are informed
of what the commissioners intend to
do they do not intend to make any
statement of any kind. They say they
have done all they could TO avoid any
trouble and have no intention now of
saying anything that might make
trouble for them. or stir up any agi-
tation that might prove unnecessary in
the face of later developments.

Elements of SuccesyuLHuman Life

As I see it, any human life in or

must satisfy six or seven Of the great
fundamental human instincts. In my
classes / have been enumerating
them as follows: First, there is the
instinct of self-preseryation. about
which little needs to be said, because
we all recognize it. The trouble is,
we harp too much on that one string.
We think that is all the workman
is interested in; that his interest is
confined 10 his pay envelope. Tn
doubtedly that is the most funda-
mental thing. But there is also the
instinct OF self-expression. or the in
stinct of workmanship; there is the
instinct of self-respect and respect
for others: there is the instinct of
Iself-sacrifce, or herofsm; the in
stinct of love, or the home-making
instinct: the instinct of loyalty: and
possibly, whether it is innate or not

all, or possibly any of these funda-
mental instincts
In order that the laboring man
may live his life, he must satisfy
something more than the instinct of
self-preservation. His life cannot
amount TO much If IT merely con
sists in keeping body and soul to-
gether. And yet, with strange blind
ness, the employer assumes that the
only thing his employe is, or can be,
interested in is his wages. Hence
