C. C. Lakin TVlls How the Acci
dent Happened.
Fell From Car and Neck Broken
by Fall.
The body of Samuel Lakin who was
killed about 11 o'clock Thursday night
by being thrown from a street car In
Chicago arrived In Topeka at 1 o'clock
today over the Rock Island and was
taken to the home of his mother at tha
foot of Western avenue. The funeral
will be held from the family home Sun
day afternoon at 2:30 and will be con
ducted by the Rev. Dean Kaye of the
Episcopal church.
A special meeting of the Elks order
was held at 8 o'clock at which resolu
tions of condolence were pas? ed and the
order will attend the funeral Sunday
afternoon in a body. Cars will leave the
club quarters at 1 o'clock. After the
ceremony at the horn the cars will con
vey the members to the cemetery for
the closing services. The pall bearers
who have been selected by the family
from the membership of the Elks arc:
John Outland. Archie Williams. Edward
Curry Allen Laucks, Thomas Barns.
Hal Norton, Fred Freeman and Kurts
Kellam. a
The body was accompanied to To
peka by C. C. Lakin. superintendent of
the Parker Was-hington Contracting
company, a cousin for whom Samuel
Lakin has been working since he has
been In Chicago. ' During the year and
r little more that Samuel Lakin has
been In the employe of our company,
said C. C. Lakin. "he has proven him
self one of the our most valuable men
and has had three promotions solely on
his merits and at the time of his death
we had no more promising man on our
pay rolls". ,
He was beloved by the men under
him and yesterday before we started
they quit work in a body and walked
to the undertaking establishment which
had charge of the remains to show their
respect, though many of them could but
barely understand the United States
language.
-It is hard to tell just how the ac
cident which caused Mr. Lakin's death
occurred as he was riding alone as far
as acquaintances are concerned when
it occurred. Early in the evening two
of his out of town friends had asked
him to go to the city with them to
secure endorsements for a position.
H was returning on a car about 11
o'clock. In this locality the track is
very rough and at this hour of the
night the cars make excessive speed.
"It wotiM seem from the story told
by the conductor of the car at the in
quest that Sam was either leaning
against the gates of the car or a brake
when a particularly rough piece of
track was struck and that he was
thrown out. In alighting he must
bavn struck on the left side of his
riad with sufficient force to fracture
the skull and break his neck.
"As soon as possible after the acci
dent the car was stopped and when the
motorman ran to the side of Sam to
pick him up he was dead. He was car
Tied Into a nearby doctor's office but
restoratives were of no avail, and it
was afterward learned that his neck
was broken in the fall. Arter nearing ,
the evidence in the case the coroner's
jury refused to place tne omme miu
out further examining witnesses ar.d
the inquest was adjourned for ten days.
"When the car struck the place in
the track which threw Sam from his
seat three or four people who were
riding Inside were thrown from their
seats and slightly injured. Numerous
minor accidents have occurred In this
part of the city which ia within a few
blocks of where Sam was at work on
account of the condition of the track
and the excessive speed at which th
cars are run. The accident occurred
at Elghty-flrst street and Cottage
Grove avenue."

CHANGE IN THE WEATHER.
"Backbone" of Summer Seems to Be
Badly Sprained.
The temperatures took a slump last
night and re Just about normal for this
Beason of the year though just before
daybreaH this morning they seemed a
number of degrees under that point.
The chenge Is all the more noticeable on
account of the excessive temperatures
during the week Just past when the
ninety mark was reached for several
days in succession.
There was heavy dew last night
which amounted to almost a shower as
far as the amount of moisture was con
cerned. The wind has not exceeded ten
miles an hour today and most of the
time it has come from the north. The
temperatures were:

TUCKER WINS OUT.
Is Given Power to Name the Trustee
for tlie I'ncle Sam OH Company.
Kansas City. Mo.. Sept. 21. H. H.
Tucker, Jr.. has been given the power
to name the trustee for the Uncle Sam
Oil company by a decision of Judge Z.
T. Hazen, referee in bankruptcy, who
decided that the five million dollar bond
Issue last spring was valid.
The referee said that, although a
bondholder had secured claim against
the company, he could waive this se
curity and allow It to become an un
secured claim with power to vote for
trustee.
TO ELECTRIFY ITS LINES.
Southern Pacific Will Spend $2,000,000
at San Francisco.
Chicago, Sept. 21. All doubt regard
ing the purpose of the Southern Pa
cific to Immediately electrify its trans
bay lines at San Francisco was removed
vesterday when announcement was
made that the company had awarded a
$900,000 contract for the erection of a
power house at Fruitvale. This power
house will be the central station for
Oakland. Berkeley, Alameda and
Fruitvale lines and the expenditures
for overhead work and for substationi
will bring the total cost ud to J2.000.000
The contracts were let In New York by
A. H. Babcock. electrical engineer for
the Southern Pacific.
As the Southern Pacific does the
largest suburban business cf any rail
road In the wona tne enterprise oi eiec
trifving Its suburban lines out of San
Francisco is being watched with great
Interest.
The cars will be run In solid trains
with an electrical motor at each end of
the train, the power being delivered by
an overhead trolley. Each car will
have a seating capacity of 80 people.
It Is stated that the necessity for elec
trifying came by reason of a great in
crease in suburban traffic which crept
up from 1.000.000 to 2.000.000 per month
after the San Francisco Are. Three new
ferry steamers are being built to ac
commodate this travel. Since the ferry
system was established 300 million pas
sengers have crossed the bay on them
and only three out of that number have
met death.

Members of Hospital Association Ob
ject to Tlieir Study of Medicine.
Chicago. Sept. 21. "Nurses are need
ed who simply care for the sick and
leave the study of medicine to doc
tors." This ccntention brought out a sharp
two hour?' debate at the final session
cf the American Hospital association's
convention. The "expansionists" argued
thr-t a nurse could not study too much
of the art of healing. The "old timers"
asserted that there should be a return
to the old two year course and that
the science of systematic ministration
In the sick room should be the sole
qualification of a good trained nurse.
It was decided to put the matter in
the hands of a special committee, which
will report at the next session in To
ronto. Nebraska Had a Frost.
Omaha. Neb.. Sept. 21. Light frosts
fell In different partlons of Nebraska
last night. The frost will be of great
benefit to corn.

CROSS CURRENTS.
Bradstreet Finds It Difficult to Gen
eralize on Business Situation.
New York, Sept. 21. Bradstreet's
says:
Whether attributable to the im
provement In the general financial sit
uation or because of favorable weath
er allowing of additional crop de
velopment, there is a perceptibly bet
ter feeling in general commercial
lines. Retail trade has hardly been
as brisk as desired or expected be
cause the warm weather, while help
ing crops, has not stimulated fall buy
ing to any great extent. Reports as to
jobbing trade so far this fall are in
the main favorable, though the under
tone of conservatism is still percepti
ble, and the feeling is that frequent
rather than large buying is to be the
keynote of the autumn trade.
Still, while the larger markets report
a cessation of activity, the volume of
shipments is heavy, and the smaller
markets are reporting the influence of
completed harvesting or of fall festi
vals In enlarged transactions. There
are still many cross currents visible
which prevent generalization, and
enough irregularity to convince many
observers that a quieting down of ex
cessive demands, concededly desirable
in some lines, isnot improbable. Easier
money conditions are reported to have
stimulated buying of raw wool by
manufacturers. Collections as a whole
are better, but there are reports from
some markets of more numerous re
quests for renewals of paper, and
some large manufacturing enterprises
with profitable contracts on hand have
sought and received financial assist
ance to tide them over present tight
money periods. The feeling in the
iron trade Is better, inquiry manifest
ing itself, but the quotation of lead
ing products are no firmer, and in
deed some lines and markets are lower
on the week.
Still further reduced quotations for
copper have evoked only-a small vol
ume of buying and lead is also lower
with restriction of output of both met
als actively In progress.

Japanese Turned. Back.
Portland. Ore., Sept. 21. A special
to the Oregonian from Seattle says
that seventy-seven Japanese miners
arriving at Atlin Thursday night to
work in the mines were escorted to
the river steamer Gleaner by three
hundred whites and started back to
ward Vancouver. The white miners
served notice upon the Japanese that
if they did not stay away violence
would be shown In protecting the dig
gings against Asiatic labor. The Jap
anese are almost destitute and will be
turned loose In Skagway, Alaska.

ALICE WAS SO SHY
President's Daughter and Her
Congressman InTisible.
Crowds All Along the Line to
See the Princess.
ONLY ONE EYE WITNESS
Roland Histed Says Alice Wore
Graj Dress.
Also Declares That Her Hair
Was Fluffy.
About 40 rUbber-necks who had heard
that the president's daughter would go
through Topeka on the eastbound Cal
ifornia Limited, were at the Santa Fe
station at 8:40 o'clock last night to
catch a glimpse of her.
Congressman Nicholas Longworth of
onto and his wife, Alice Roosevelt,
have been In the Philippines and Ha
waiian islands for a number of weeks
and are now on their way home. When
the Limited pulled into the station the
waiting crowd, consisting principally of
young women and girls spied a party
In the observation car on the end of
the train, and they rushed in that di
rection. But the party consisted only
of young girls and boys of the Wader's
Union class, who piled down off the
train and rubbered back at the crowd
with equal curiosity.
The trainmen said there had been
crowds at the stations all along the
line to see the daughter of the presi
dent, but she had not left her state
room at any of the stations and had
refused to Bee newspaper reporters or
visitors. The Pujlman conductor on the
car occupied by the Longworths waved
back the people who pressed forward
to ask about Mrs. Longworth with the
grand air of a vice chancellor or a first
gentleman of the bed chamber, deny
ing an audience with royalty.
But a Pullman conductor on the
California Limited is always a rather
terrible autocrat and this one prob
ably acquired his grand manner by
long practice In telling railway offi
cials, prominent politicians and others
with annual passes that their trans
portation wasn't good.
Roland Histed, who has been in the
western part of the state, came in on
tho Alice RooseveU-Longworth train
and was in the same Pullman with the
Longworths. He wandered back two
or three times, carelessly when their
state room door was open and saw
them sitting on opposite sides of a lit
tle table, Mr. Longworth with his
back to the car and Mrs. Longworth
facing it. Pressed by a woman friend
to remember what the president's
daughter was wearing, Mr. Histed
thought for a minute, ruminated on
blue, the obvious guess, then tan, but
rejected both In favor of gray. "Yes,
it was gray. It must have been a kind
of gray traveling suit. No, she didn't
have a hat on when I saw her. She
wears her hair in a kind of fluffy
pompadour."
Mr. Histed took the train at Hutch
inson and said there was a crowd at
the station there and another at New
ton. At the last -named place there
was a delegation of prominent club
and society women but Mrs. Long
worth refused to meet them and the
husband of one of the women who
was turned down intimated with some
heat that this high and mighty action
on the- pairt of the president's daugh
ter would have a bad effect upon the
administration and be used effectively
against it.
As the train pulled out a belated
woman rubberneck rushed through
the station and out on the platform
and seizing a girl by the arm ex
claimed excitedly. "Did you see her?"
"Naw," replied the girl indifferently
shifting her gum to the other cheek,
"Alice is in the hay."
HE HAS A BLACK LIST.
Superintendent of W. XT. Says There
Are 175 Men Who Can't Come Back.
New York, Sept. 21. General Su
perintendent Brooks of the Western
Union Telegraph company said today
that his company had nothing to ar
bitrate. "We have all the men we desire,"
said Mr. Brooks, "and there Is no
need for us to seek to secure the ser
vice of the men who left the employ
of the company. Furthermore we
will never again, tolerate the .condi
tions that existed before the strike
The action of the union operators be
fore the strike. In deliberately inter
fering with the business of the com
pany and In abusing those who failed
to Join their organization will never
occur again in the operating rooms
of the Western Union. There are 176
operators who were employed in this
city by this company prior to the
strike who will ' never again secure
work with the company. They were
all trouble makers."
Edward J. Nalley. vice president
and general manager of the Postal
Telegraph-Cable company has sent
the following telegram to all Postal
superintendents:
"There is not the slightest ground
for the report that we are to arbitrate
with the strikers. Notify all offices
and assure all that there will be no
compromise, and to pay no heed to
reports to the contrary."

Prices of stocks moved very sluggishlv
from last night's level and the amount of
business done at the opening was unim
portant. American Car preferred rose
point. Pacific Coast sold at decline of
4 aoints.
A gradually harder tone developed which
culminated eventually In a number of
substantial advances The Standard Rail
ioad stocks were bought quite freely,
especially Union Pacific. A further rise
in New York city 4 to 107 had a
strengthening effect on the list. Union
Pacific New Ycrk Certrai and American
Locomotive gained 1: Distillers' Securities
1 and General Electrict 3. Pacific Coast
recovered 3 of its opening loss. Union
Pacific preferred and Colorado and
Bouincrn si preierrea gave wav 1.
The market closed strong. Prices con
tinued to harden on a slow absorption,
the favorable bank statement keeping
alive the cheerful sentiment. New York
City, 50 year 4 per cent bonds, sold ud
more than a point to 107. compared with
the Issue price of 102 and this had a re
viving effect on the general bond market.
Denver and Rio Grande preferred rose 3.

The wheat market was In splendid
form this week, and shows a substan
tial advance over a week ago. The
new December had no trouble in soar
ing above the $1 mark again on Thurs
day, and the buying thereabouts was
of first-class character. Tho only real
argument that can be advanced is on
that side of the market. - a position
these weekly letters have consistently
maintained ever since the price was 25
cents lower. And the facts of the situ

Increases. The world's requirements of
wheat, according to European experts,
will be many millions in excess of what
the exporting 'countries will have to
spare. Where will the difference come
from? Russian 'winter wheat outlook
is very bad. Other European counties
report rather poor prospects. The de
mand for American wheat is so sharp
that we continue to break the record
In our big weekly shipments. Last

big profit-taking longs. It carried the
new December price down to about 56
cents, but a quick rally followed. The
corn crop in Iowa and other western
states is not yet out of danger bjr frost,
and the least nip would advance prices
rapidly. Although the government es
timates the crop at 2.540 millions, a
leading New York house assures its
customers it will not reach the 2i bil

Herald quotes a leading crop expert to
day as saying It may even fall to about
2 billions. The domestic and foreign
demand continues excellent, and at the

prove a very profitable investment. It
