RUBBERS

You have often bought something
and been temporarily pleased by
the thought that you had pur-
chased cheaply. Later--When you
found out how CHEAP the arti-
Gle actually Was--you had regrets.
You learned that the price you
paid was actually high--your pur-
chase expensive. It was Door
economy. You had wasted your
money.
There is nothing that will give you
more disappointment than buying
cheap rub bers Rubbers all look
alike at first--but how differently
they wear. Your only protection
is the Makers name, and the in
tegrity Of the dealer from whom
you buy.
Take rubber boots, for instance.
They mean quite an investment,
and for the sake of saving a few
cents at the beginning why ex-
pertinent with the unknown and
in the end disappointment. We
handle only the very best makes
and We strongly urge comparison

Battle Over HOWat's Strikes
Goes to Third Day.

Indianapolis, Sept. 26.-The stormi-
est sessions since the convention a
week ago. marked resumption of de-
bate today among representatives of
the United Mines Workers over the
question of supporting or condemning
Alexander Howat, Kansas 'insurgent"
for his stand on strikes in that state.
The controversy between Howat and
the international organization now in
its third day, ragged so violently that
at one time while William Green, in
ternational secretary-treasurer was
attempting to speak, disorder pre-
vailed for a half hour.
1t was apparent. according to ad-
ninistration delegates the Howat fac
ton was attempting to force a vote
on the question whether Howat or
John L. Lewis international president
whose is bitterly attacking Howat's s
contract breaking tactics shall have
the conventions endorsement
Strife over factional differences in
the ranks of the miners has thus far
prevented action on the wage and

confession soon after his arrest here
August 10. on a charge of committing
a statutory offense again Lola Thomas,
16year-old Kansas City girl, he was
urged to go into court and enter a
plee of guilty.

he said he would marry the girl, but

protest. Then Kent announced he
would stand trial. Friday he took
the witness stand before a jury in the
second division of the district court,
and while admitting the offense. de-
clared the girl had ''vamped" him.
Within ten minutes after the case
had finally reached the jury this

PUT Topeka ON HIGHWAYS
c. of C. Pays 1000 for Marking on
Capital Highway

3. The good roads committee of the
Chamber of Commerce today guar
anteed the payment of $1,000 as To-
peka's share of the expense of mark
ing the Capital Highway from Tulsa
Okla, to Omaha, Nebr. The road is
to be completely marked within the
next sixty days by F. w. Hockaday,
one of the leading trail markers of
the United States. Hockaday is in
Topeka today, covering the route to
Omaha, and attended the meeting of
the good roads committee. His men
are already marking the trail, and
have progressed as far as Neodesha
The route will be marked with an
information sign at each mile, and
with a trail marker at each quarter
of mile. At each intersection, the
route will be marked with a sign car
rying an arrow, and the mileage to
Topeka, as we'll as the next town.
Some of the advantages accruing to
the city thru this marking were point
ed out today by H. S. Putney, chair
man of the committee.
That puts Topeka's name on sign
boards clear across Kansas and into
two other states." Putney said. Its
going to put Topeka on the highway
map with more emphasis that it has
even been before. That's the benefit
to the city. directly, without consid-
ering the benefits which the tourists
themselves will reap from it,

TO ASK FOR HELP
Physicians Will Discuss Seri-
BUSINESS Diphtheria Epidemic.
Supply of Culture Material Ex-
hausted by City Board.

The diphtheria epidemic in Topeka
has required so much throat culture
material that the city board of health
has exhausted it's supply of culture
material. Hundreds of school chill
dren's throats have been examined in
that way, as well as the many per-
sons who volunteer for examinations
at the city board of health clinic
room.
The health department expects a
fresh supply of culture material by
express this afternoon.
The prevalence of dfphtheria in this
part of the country is influencing
manufacturing houses that furnish
that material to concentrate thier sup
plies from all parts of the country in
Kansas City, in order to make such
material easily available to Kansas
cities and anywhere near Kansas City
that may become afflicted with an
epidemic
Examine 65 Children.
Sixty-five children were examined
on Sunday for diphtheria symptoms at
the city board of health and about the
same number today. The majority of
them were allowed to return to school.
A few with temperatures were ordered
to remain home for possible develop
ment of diphtheria.
At 1 o'clock today twelve new cases
of diphtheria had been reported,
bringing the total number of cases for
September to 1876 and the total num-
Der since August s to 1875. Fourteen
cases were reported Saturday and 1t
is expected that that number Will be
exceeded by o'clock this evening.
At Lafayette school, 249 children
were examined Saturday. Twelve
children were found to be carriers of
diphtheria, altho not active cases of
the disease. One active case was
found.
The seriousness of tho dpidenic has
caused DR.. Earle G. Brown, city
health officer, to call a conference of
all physicians of the city at his Of

Tuesday evening at S:15 o'clock. DR..
Sherwood, n. p, of Lawrence, will

change of pencils is an excellent
method of spreading infection. Books

Manager of Miss Rappe Re-
called to Witness Stand.
STATE DEPENDS ON PHYSICIAN
Accusing Witness, Mrs. Del
monte, Testifies for First Time.
Less Silence in "Fatty'S" Camp
From Now On.

San Francisco. Sept 26.-This
promised to be a day of surprises" in
the Arbuckle case. 1t is the fourth
day of the preliminary hearing of
Roscoe (Fatty) Arbuckle, charged
with the murder of Virginia Rappe.
1t is TO be ushered in with the testi-
mony of DR.. Arthur Beardslee. He Is
one of the states surprises. His story
has never been told in public. He was
one of the first physicians to treat
Miss Rappe and departed the day after
she was taken ill on. hunting trip
For nearly two weeks he was listed as
missing. and finally returned too late
to testify before the grand jury or the
coroner's jury. The state character
ICES his testimony as vital"
Doctors Testimony Vital.
The state. it is said, depends on him
to shatter the theory held by the de-
fense that Miss Raped died either
from natural causes or as a result of
treatment accorded her during her ILL
ness. Doctor Beardslee, according 10
the district attorneys office. diagnosed
her Illness as coming from an internal
injury from the start.
The defense, too, has promised
surprise from AL Semnacher. The Los
Angeles manager of the dead motion
picture actress was dismissed on Sat
day and prepared to depart for his
home when the defense discovered, il
was reported today, that among the
many things he had forgotten while
on the stand Friday and Saturday were
points vital to Arbuckles case. They
did not indicate what they expected to
bring out from him today, altho the
report was current that they believed
Semnacher knew more than he has
told"
Mrs. belmont to Stand.
Interest centened today chiefly in
the appearance on the stand of Mrs.
Bambina Maude belmont, who, with
the death of Miss Rape, assumed the
role of "avenger."
AS the prosecuting witness. the
state depends on Mrs belmont to
clinch it's case. She was the first to
accuse Arbuckle. She has given the
most damaging testimony uttered
against him at both the coroner's in
quest and before the grand jury. She
has revealed in fullest detail the events
of the hilarious party on Labor day
afternoon which had a fatal ending

that the defense has decided that the
time has come to open up. Until the
present time. all connected with the
defense from chief of counsel, Frank

from now on.

BATTLE BECOMES THREE SIDED

Chicago. Sept. ga strike of 1885,
900 railway trainmen in the United
States loomed today when strike bal
lots cast by members of the Brother
hood of Railroad Trainmen began
pouring into Chicago as the vice presi-
dents of the organization convened
here to count the ballots.
Supreme Coudt May Decide.
At the offices of the United States
labor railway board it was announced
by c. P. Carrithers. secretary of the
board. that on account of the refusal
of the Pennsylvania lines to-submit to
further arbitration, the hearing on the
Pennsylvania's plea for abrogation of
the boards order directing the manner
in which the employees of the road
shall select their representatives to
deal with employees, had been post
poned.
No statement was forthcoming but
it was limited that the United States
supreme court may be asked to spe-
officially define the powers of the
board which have been called into the
question by the railroad.
In a letter sent to the labor board
by Samuel Rea, president of the Penn
SylNdnlds II was IldQe CASdL liAS 4Oel0
intended to ignore the ruling of the
board which described the manner in
which employees of the railroad should
elect employees to deal with the railway
officials in matters pertaining to
working rules and conditions. Rea
charged the board with arrogating to
itself the power to ignore decisions of
the United States supreme court.
Climax of Open Shop Fight.
1.-THE carrier cannot accept these
views of the board" Rea's letter said,
novel and startling tho they may be,
and if followed to their logical con-
clusion, revolutionary in effect. 1t
doesn't believe the transportation act
has deprived or was intended by con-
gress to deprive either employees or
employers of their constitutional and
legal rights as established by the su-
preme court and other courts of the
United States''
The defiance of the board by the
by that railroad to establish the "open
shop on it's lines and to refuse recog-
milton to unions of railroad workers.
The railroad has petsistently refused
to recognize the unions in dealing with
it's employees.
An order of the board objected the
Pennsylvania to deal with representa-
tives of the employees chosen by the
unions. The road appealed for a Nre-
hearing on this order and it's plea was
granted, but with restrictions that
the railroads has refused to accept.
Whether other railroads will fol-
low the lead of the Pennsylvania. was
being watched with interest today.

JOINED FOR MUSIC
H. J. DOtterweich Associated
With W. A. Fritschy of n. C.
TOpekan to Manage Many Kan
saS Concert Series.

The days when American concert
managers were forced to compete for
artists to manage are almost as nearly
forgotten as the period of bustles and
three gallon sleeves, according to H.
J. Dotterweich. manager of the To-
peka concert series beginning October
10 with Mario Chamlee, one of the
best known of the younger tenors.
Now. says Mr.. Dotterweich, artists are
competing for a hearing by the Amer
lean public and the tables are exactly
reversed.
Mr.. Dotterweich has recently be-
come associated with Mr.. w. A. Frit-
schy of Kansas City. president of the
National Concert Managers associa-
tion. Dotterweich and Mr.. Fritschy
have already made arrangements for
series. of concerts in Salina, Wichita.
Leavenworth, Winfield, Concordia and
ICoffeyville. The same standard of
highest class artists which has existed
in Kansas City for sixteen years. and
in Topeka for three years, Will be
maintained in these cities.
The territory allotted to the Frit-
schy-Dotterweich organization for de-
velopment includes Missouri, Kansas,
Nebraska and Oklahoma. Next year
will no doubt see at least thirty-five
concert courses presented in this sec
tion.
The swarm of artists, and So called
artists, that descended upon the United
States after the armistice from Eu-
ropean cities was astounding" Mr..
Dotterweich declares "A great many
! of the newcomers were without par
ticular merit. These came for the
easy money the United States is sup
posed to offer. Others were good
enough for enga gagements. A very few
were exceptional.
There really is little change in the
list of concert stars the managers find
available. There is no one TO dis
place, for instance, Jascha Heifetz,
who still is the despair of the younger
violin aspirants. That is one reason
Heifetz will be heard here in March
There is no pianist more original in
flavor than Granger, who also is COM

with the one exception OF New
York, there is no section of the United
States in which the labor of those
who have worked toward a better
standard musically for the country has
been more successful than in Kansas
The days when the mediocre musician,
green from study with more or less
Successful teachers, could secure en-
gagements and get by in recital are
gone. The cheap artist still is being
sold for more than he is worth even
in Kansas, but managers who attempt
that sort of fraud are simply choking

With Fifty-Seventh Homer.

New York. Sept. 26.-Babe Ruth,
the home run king, broke his new
home run record by driving out a four
base blow in the first inning of the
Cleveland game. There was no one
on base at the time. Coveleskie was
pitching for Cleveland. The bam-
binc has fifty-eseven home runs to his
credit for the season.
The Clevelanders pounded the ball
hard for the first inning, scoring three
runs. Ruths homer was the only
score marked up for New York. No
