James Hagerman Quits Katy Was With Santa Fe Here. ; On account of continued ill health James Hagerman, general counsel ol the Missouri, Kansas & Texas railway, has tendered his resignation, effectivt June 1. Mr. Hagerman began the practice of law in Keokuk, la., with the firm of Rankin & McCrary. becoming a member of that firm in 1875. This firm was continued until 1879, when Mr McCrary was appointed secretary of war by President Hayes, and his plac was filled by Frank Hagerman of Kan sas City. Mr. Hagerman continued tc practice as the head of this firm untii 1884, when he accepted the general at torneyship of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe, which caused his removal tc Topeka. In 1884 Mr. Hagerman remov ed to Kansas City and became a mem ber of the firm of Warner, Dean & Hagerman. and in 18S8 he was appoint ed general counsel for the receivers of the Missouri, .Kansas & Texas railway by Judge Brewer, and continued in that position, in connection with his general practice until 1891, when he was ap pointed general .solicitor of the Mis souri, Kansas & Texas upon its reor ganization. He continued In that po sition until 1904, when he was appojrtt ed general counsel, succeeding Simon Sterne of New York. He was elected president of the American Bar associ ation in 1904. He has been- officially connected with the Missouri, Kansas & Texas for almost a quarter of a century and has now consented to ac cept the position of consulting coun sel. Mr. Hagerman has hard charge ol some notable litigation in connection with the Katy's interests. His fight for cancellation of the old I. & G. N.-G. H. & H. lease ended successfully for the company. Another important suil was that of the United States for can cellation of its land grant in Kansas, which also ended successfully, anC there is now pending in the courts an other suit by the company against the United States for the value of the com pany's land grant in what was the Indian Territory. Mr. Hagerman's successor ha not been officially announced, but it is un derstood that Joseph M. Bryson, the general solicitor, will succeed him. Mr. Bryson has also been connected with the law department in various capaci ties, since 1888. - . WILL LET IT BEST, Taft Refuses to Stii Up the Contro versy With Colombia. Washington, May 23. President Taft has sent a message to the senate de clining to make public the correspond ence between this government and Co lombia relating to Panama.

TWO WORKMEN ARE KILLED Break Windows and Lamps and Destroy Goods. Several Policemen Have Been Wounded by .Bullets. Budapest, May 23. Sharp battles between the police and strikers have been frequent over the city through out the morning. Two strikers have been killed and many of the police and strikers wounded, 25 of the latter severely. Practically all the trade unionist workers in Budapest with the excep tion of municipal employees.' struck this morning as a result of a reso lution passed last night by the Socialist union which proclaimed a general strike as a protest against the elec tion of Count Tisza as speaker of the lower house. Count Tis-ia is .a strong opponent of universal suffrage. Fifty thousand workmen assembled this morning in the streets leading to Parliament square, all the approaches of which were guarded by strong cor dons of police. The strikers, finding their efforts to obtain possession of Parliament square unavailing, started wrecking windows and street lamps and destroying goods displayed in the shop windows. Then they began stoning the police, who drove them off, repeatedly charging with their clubs. The most serious encounter took place on outer Wagner street, where the strikers? took possession of a big building, from which thev fired at the pol'ce with revolvers. After several of the policemen had been hit with bul lets, the officer in charge ordered the men to return the fire. Several volleys were fired into the crowd, and two of the strikers were killed and a dozen wounded. The strikers in the building, unable to withstand the sharp reply of the police, dashed out of the doors ana fled in all directions. Several of the street car lines have been . suspended since morning. The strike has been only partly suc cessful, many of the factories contin uing to work under the protection of detachments of police. BIGGEST SHIP AFLOAT The Hamburg-American Liner Imper ator as j-auiifiica. - Hamburg. Germany, May 23. The Hamburg-American line's, new mam moth transatlantic steamer Imperator, the biggest vessel in the world, w:s successfully launched here today. Em peror William acted as sponsor. Jo hannes Burchard, lord mayor of Ham burg, delivered an address on the re cent great development of shipbuild ing. -, The launching weight of the Imper ator was 29,755 tons, but when com pleted, it is believed she will displace about 52.000 tons. Among the innovations Introduced into the vessel as a result of the Ti tanic tragedy, the company has de termined to swing aboard lifeboats in which room is provided for every soul carried by the steamer. The Imperator will carry three wire less operators, thus providing for, con tinuous service. The dynamo for the illumination of the vessel and for wire less apparatus is to be carried above the water line. The Imperator also will carry two first officers, one of whom will be solely responsible' for the navigation and security of the vessel The Fl our IPERFEGIfiBl N ARE BUSY Of l Kansas State Federation Women's Clubs in Contention.

Indicate that Col. Roosevelt's dele gates acquired In Tuesday's primaries w!l! not drop below the 32 hitherto accorded him. Governor Wilson, of New Jersey, however, has made slight gains and there is a possibility that Governor Harmon's delegates will not total more than 27. A count of the Democratic preferential vote, with seven counties only partly completed, gives Governor Wilson lO.K-n and Governor Harmon 23.228. a plurality to the Ohio governor of 13.091.

Roosevelt apparently has 387 of the 754. while 378 are necessary to control. The county conventions to which dele gates were elected Tuesday, and at whic4 all but 23 counties will name state dele gates, .have not met, but estimates In each county accord Col. Roosevelt an advant age. Taft supporters do not admit this, however, and indicate that the president will have enough strength In. the state convention In June to give Mm the six delegates at large. The total LaFollette vote in the pri maries was a little less than 15.000. Al though in one or two instances they out ran President Taft's delegates, his candi dates for delegates did not gain enough votes seriously to menace any of Col. Roosevelt's delegates. PARTY IN DANGER, iContlnued from Page One. Taft and the nomination of Colonel Roosevelt. If these presidential primar ies are a fair barometer then it wouid be reasonable to assert that the party as a whole is almost equally divided with respect to the candidacy of these two. . i The Real Reason. That explanation, however, is not ac cepted - by politicians here as a good one. After making allowance for the fact that It always is the case that a considerable number of Republicans dc not attend the caucuses or primaries there still remains a very large Re publican vote to be accounted for. II is apparently a silent vote, a thinkins vote. It is not assumed here that Re publicans, are indifferent to the presi dential nomination, but it Is believeci that a good many Republicans havr found that their allegiance is now very slight. That, however, Is believed tc be equally true of the Democratic party. Whatever the explanation, the momentous fact remains that the presi dential primaries held In the name ol the Republican party were negiectea d nrobablv not less than six million kc publican voters. These figures furnis'J the unknown factor of the presidential politics which is now under way. incy do seem to justify the belief that it is the silent, the undemonstrative vote n-Viir-h is to decide not so much the r.rjsidential . nomination as the tesut upon election day in November next. Some of the politicians incline co the opinion that, i. Republicans can not be brought out on presidential prl marv day to any greater extent than they have been in the presidential poll- tins nf this soring tne question natur ally arises. Has there been any real public demand for thi- method of ex pressing the wish of the public? Does it or does It not show that the people are really tired of the domination of the party organization or macmne r The Use of Money. Tho nolitlcians regard it as having been demonstrated that this method of expressing the wlir of the members of the party respecting tne nominaiun of candidates for office involves much ereater expense than did tne meinoa that has been criticised as that of the bosses. The aggregate expenditure en tailed by the politics which entered In the presidential primaries of both par-, ties this spring r-.ust reach a very large sum. In this state we already know that the presidential primaries of New York City cost for one side nearly fifty thousand dollars and for the other side about ten thousand dol lars, or sixtv thousand dollars in an If the official statement of the cost of New York City's primaries furnishes a fair estimate for a Judgment' of the total expenses of presidential primaries throughout the United States, then tha amount will, when the primaries am completed, very li:-el' exceed, and ereatlv exceed, even thj expenses en tailed by Mark Haina when he was directing the -pout.os which naa me first nomination of William McKln-le- .for president i . view. It is sometimes -said that the greater the expenditure af . th primaries, the less the need for expenditure for car rying on a campaign.- But it. is .-also said that while this . oay be - true of states which ar overwhelmingly Dem ocratic or Republican, it. cannot" be true of close state;. ; ' - The Rich Men's Campaign. While as, yet" there Is no identifica tion of men -who possess very grat wealth with the agitation now under way in favor of Taft's nomination, an.1 while it is known that very little mon ey has teen secured In Wall Street for the expenses of the Taft campaign, yet several men o ' great wealth are identified with the Roosevelt campaign. There Is a little group In Chicago which 13 understood to have subscribed liberally for the Roosevelt campaign fund. The official statement made oy the state authorities of the individual expenditures for the Roosevelt pri maries of New York City, show that George W. Perkins, Frank A. Munsey and A. S. Cochran, contributed each fifteen thousand dollars. Although the common estimate of - the wealth of Mr. Perkins, would. If true, make him the leader of this group, yet it is the un derstanding of thos who should know, that Mr.. Munsey is not only ilia1 ank ers! a 1 Ompami Lowest wealthiest man In the group, but ! now to be numbered among the very rich men of New York City. A com mon estimate of Mr. Munsty's wealth fixes the amount at not less than thir ty millions. The v.ealt.i of Mr. Coch ran, who is a carpet manufacturer and who, inherited the business and the fortune which he now possesses, is commonly understoo-1 to be about fif teen millions. The most intimate friends of Mr. PerWns are confiaent that his wealth has been greatly over estimated and for the past two years he has not been occupied in Increasing It These three me justify their sup port of Col. Roosevelt In part because they profess to be convinced that Roose velt's attitude toward modern "big business" Is saner and safe;- than has been the attitude of the present ad ministration. Mr. Mu:.sey, while talk ing to his friends, is emphatic in his assertion that "bis business" hon orably conducted Is not only recognized by Roosevelt as an essential, . but in case Roosevelt were president, would be widely encouraged. That is also the professed attitude of Mr. Perkins. So far as Mr. Munsey is concerned, It would make little difference who be comes president. He has Incorporated himself and he has no associates in that personal trust. Two of his num erous publication ventures are known to bring him a yearly income net of a little over JS00.0OO. He is engaged in vigorous competition with other pub llcations, but he is not doing it by cut ting prices. He is the acknoweldged owner of 10.000 shares of the preferred stock of the United States Steel cor poration and he was at one time the largest individual owner of . the com mon shares of the steel corporation. His investments, however, have been chiefly the improvement and extensior of his publication business, which id now the largest ever achieved by any publisher in the United States. They StUl Talk of Gnjnor. There continues to be an impression daily growing stronger that the Demo cratic convention at Baltimore will dis cover such availability, especially of a compromise kind, In the candidacy ol Mayor William J. Gaynor as to make It possible for him to receive the votes of tworthlrds of the delegates. Should Mr. Gaynor be nominated, he will cer tainly prove to be the quaintest of all the candidates that the Democracy has ever nominated for the presidency This quaintness does not impair his mental vigor. It Is apparent in his or iginal way of looking at things and in the masterly way in which he has con cealed the labor which he bestows on his addresses and letters whereby they are given the appearance of perfect spontaneity and freshness and as -though he were talking to each one ot his hearers or readers in exclusively personal conversation. Mayor Gaynor Is still troubled with the bullet which lies concealed some where back of his throat. This makes it sometimes painful, and always some what difficult, for him- to talk. He does not know where the bullet is. He does not want to know. He told the surgeons that they must not tell him where it is located, explaining this re quest by saying that if he knew ex actly where the bullet Is It would prey upon his Imagination and his mind would be concentrated from time tc time upon It. HOLLAND. OLD LADY ALMOST CRAZY WITH ECZEMA A Remarkable and Convincing State ment of the Success of Cuticura Soap and Ointment in the Treat ment of the Pain, Itching and Burning of Eczema. 2234 Hebert St.. St. Louis. Mo. "I. the tmdersigned. cannot give enough praise to the Cuticura Remedies. I had been doctoring for at least a year for eczema on my foot. When a young girl I sprained my ank le three differ ent times, paying little or no attention to it. when live years ago a small spot showed upon my left ankle. A doctor said it was ecxema. E drew a small bone from the ankle about the site of a match and about an inch long. The small hole grew to about the size of an apple, and the eczema spread to the knee. The whole foot ran water all the time. "My husband and my sons were up night and day wheeling me from one room to an other in the hope of givinir me some relief. I would sit for hours at a time in front of the fireplace hoping for daybreak. The pain was ao intense I was almost crazy, in fact, I would lose my reason for hours at a time. One day a friend of mine dropped in to see. me. No more had she glanced at my foot than she ex claimed, 'Mrs. Finnegan, why In the world don't you try the Cuticura Remedies!' Not being able to sleep at all. I decided to give the Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Oint ment a trial. After using them three days that night I slept as sound as a silver dollar for eight long hours. I awoke in the morning with but very little pain, in fact, I thought I was in heaven. After using the Cuticura Remedies for three months I was perfectly restored to health, thanks to the Cuticura Soap and Oint ment. I will be sixty-four years of age my next birthday, hale and hearty at present." (Signed) Mrs. Julia Finnegan, Mar. 7, 1911. Cuticura Soap and Ointment are sold everywhere.
