Assigning radio call designations
is something of trick, and, with
with the constant Increase In sta
tions, il is In the way of becoming
an art. In this country we have but
three initial letters for calls for
about 5000 official and commercoai
stations. Having only the letters
N, X and w to STRAIT with, even
champion word makers who spell
thousands of words out Of trade
names, would be stumped to make
appropriate combinations.
All call starting with N. are naval
which is very appropriate. and the
army calls commence with w, which
is somewhat significant as referring
to the War Department. The rest
of the w calls are assigned to the
eastern part of the United states.

definite geographical call VIVA

AFTER HIS SCALP END VOTE Count
Attacks Against Daugherty Are
Again Read in Senate.
Caraway Shows Alleged Letter
in Morse Contract Charge.

Washington. May 2O.-The Demo-
cratic attack upon Attorney General
Daugherty was renewed in the SEN
ate today when Senator Caraway,
Democrat, of Arkansas, read what he
said was a "photostatic copy" of a
contract between Daugherty and
Charles w Morse, New York finan-
cier and shipbuiIder under which
Daugherty was to be paid $25,OOO for
obtaining Morse sqelease from the At
lanta penitentiary. The alleged con-
tract was dated August 4, 1911.
Republican senators who previously
had defended the attorney general
against CarawaY's attacks, sat in dead
silence as Caraway read the purported
contract.
Caraway also read a letter alleged
to have been written by Daugherty to
Morse. complaining that the S25, 900
had not been paid
4'The attorney general should re-
sign Caraway said. 1T would be
the one decent thing for him to do in
view of his employment in securing
a pardon for Charles w. Morse, a con-
victed criminal. The attorney gen.

There are tornadoes and rumors of
1ornadoes. They have been reported
by the daily press on the earth, in
the air above the earth, and in "the
waters uncer the earth,'' during the
past few weeks.
But there has been no tornado in
Topeka, not within the memory of
man. No records show destruction
and loss of life or property in any of
the 'twisters'' for which Kansas was
so widely, unfavorably and unjustly
known in the early days.
There's a reason
Colonel C X. Holiday and a band
of adventures stepped out of the
boats in which they were journeying
up the Kaw river in 1853. and studied
the present site of Topeka with the
idea of locating a city here.
Specialized in MeteoroIogy.
Colonel Holiday was a graduate of
the Allegheny university. and during
his college course had special in
astronomy and meteroIogy. He had
always been interested in storms and
wind formations. and had made spe-
cial studies Of them.
He carefully surveyed the country,
and decided that owing to certain
bands in the river. the slope of the
valley, and the height and location of
the surrounding hills. it would be i'm
