Declaring that the "Inefficiency of men In office" forced women to become candidates. Dr. Eva Harding, of Topeka, has announced that she will be a candidate on the Demo cratic ticket for Congress against Repre sentative Dan Anthony, of Leavenworth. She probably will be opposed by three men for the Democratic nomination. Dr. j Harding Is the first woman to announce for a national omce on the uemocrallc ticket.

Dr. Harding is the pioneer woman doc tor of Kansas, and is the hero of 1,000 battles fought for what she thought was right. In fully half the cases the public and courts disagreed with her. but that made no difference to the doctor: she went right on fighting and paying her way as she went. She has been practicing medicine for thirt) years, grows more flowers than are raised anywhere else in Topeka. out side the city parks, has beautified more ugly corners than any one else In town, and two jears ago gave the city its sec ond largest park as a children's park.

TURKS IMPRISON ITALIANS. Plncrnnt Act May Cane War Dec laration AKalnat Ottonmnn. By R. MACKENZIE. Rome, July 21. Turkey has decided to confine In concentration camps all Italian citizens whose repatriation is Impossible on the pretext that they are apt to act as spies. Since the Italian Turkish dip lomatic relations are as jet unbroken. Turkey's decision is a flagrant lolatlon of International law. which undoubtedly Italy will not tolerate. Developments are shortly expected, and although Germany has not yet declared war on Italy, and has refrained from direct acts of hostillts. It is still indi rectly aiding the Austrians. Italy, apart trom the fact of her Joining the allies against the common enemies, will be fully justified In Initiating hostilities against both Germany and Turkey, who are preventing repatriation of Italian consuls and openly aiding Tripoli rebels. I am informed that hostilities are likely to be started soon, and a. declaration of war is unnecessary. VENDS DOPE IN PEANUTS. PInmed Lady" Get Slxtr Dayn for Clever Game. Cleveland. July 21.

Former Police Late VCHAILESBECira DIRE PLIGHT OF MEXICO IS TOLD Gen. Devol Writes Military Chiefs Run Things with High Hand. FOOD IS SENT AWAY President Wilson Expected to Take Up Affairs of Republic, Following Dispatch of German Note. It is understood that unpn the dispatch of the German note Presi dent Wilson again will turn his at tention to affairs In Mexico. The I'resident's proclamation of June 2, in which he enjoined the factions to compose their differences, or the United States would be compelled "within a very short time" to take steps to right affairs In 31exico has had little or no effect. A report on conditions in Mexico just made to tho Secretary of War by Gen. Devol, who visited the repub lic to survey the situation with a view to affording relief to the civil popula tion through the ship in lit of Red Cross supplies, has made a profound impression on the authorities. Gen. Devol's report shows that Mexico is in a desperate plight, and that thero Is little or no hope for alleviation of the sufferings of the peoplo as long as the present military operations continue. It is understood that portions of Gen. Devol's report withheld from publica tion are of n sensational character. The parts made public Indicate that the military chieftains are running things with a high hand In Jlcxlco, and that they are levjlng tribute at will. "Conditions are undoubtedly most acute In sections of .the country that are constantly being occupied and re occupied h contending forces," wrote Gen. Pcvol. "This applies in great force to Mexico City and the surrounding country to San Luis Potosl, the country in the vicinity of Saltillo, Monclova, nnd Paredon." Food In Sent Away. Gen. Deol reported thnt large quanti ties of food had been sent out of Mexi co and the assumption is that these ship ments were made In order that the fac tions might obtain gold. Gen. Devol in formed the Secretary of War that both Gen. Hernandez and Gen. Villa prohibited the purchase of food supplies In Mexico. "The reason given," wrote Gen. Devol, "was that the food In Mexico Is required to feed the Mexican soldiers. The real reason, in my opinion, is that there Is a military export tax. or, in other words, a charge on all exportations amounting on the northern border to $1) to $j() for each car that crosses the border. This money is paid direct to the mili tary leaders. There are still large quan tities of food supplies assembled In vari ous parts of Mexico and held by the military authorities and not permitted to reach the people." While in Mexico Gen. Devol conferred with many natives, all of 'whom testi fied to the sufferings of the people as a whole. Summing up his observations. Gen. Devol wrote: 'At the present time there mav not be any actual cases of starvation in Mexico. The Mexican people can live on littlo or nothing, and when driven to It can sub sist for some time on cactus and other plants There Is In nearly every part of Mexico destitution nnd constant misery. Pfoplc outside of the military factions subsist only by sufferance, and only when permitted to do so by the military leaders. AH commercial supplies and in dustries are exploited for the benefit of the military. Owing to the political and physical conditions in Mexico there ap pears to be no future for adequate relief, even if the American people would con tribute for this purpose. This, however, they have done only to a very limited extent to this date." Airalt Result of Ilnttle. Officials await with keen Interest the result of the prospective battle outside of Mexico City. A statement was issued by the Carranza agency yesterday, in which it was announced that Gen. Gon zales had only temporarily abandoned Mexico City; that he had left everything in good order there, and that as soon as he had crushed the enemy at Pachuca he would return to the capital. Occupation of Naco, In the state of Sonora, Slexlco, by Carranza troops. In violation of an agreement entered Into by the factions at the Instance of the United States declaring Naco to be neutral territory, may Involve the first- chief In difficulties with the Wash ington government. As a result of the Invasion of Naco, which is Just across the border from Naco, Ariz.. Gen. Villa, through his agency In Washington, has requested Secretary of State I.o rising to prohibit the Im portation of arms nnd other munitions to Mexico at that point. Secretary I.nnslng Xnllfled. Secretary Lansing yesterday was formally advised by Secretary Garri son of Carranza's violation of Naco's neutrality. Secretary Lansing will make representations fo Carranza on the subject at once. Officials here take it for granted that the first chief will offer apologies, vacate the town, and make reparation. If he should fall to do that it Is admitted a serious situ ation would at once develop. Official in Sing Sins Death Cell; Politician Whom He Implicates in Story 22,000,000 ATTENDED J SCHOOLS AND COLLEGES Figures for 1914 Are Given in Annual Report of the Commissioner of Education. In round numbers there were 22,oni).0OO Persons enrolled In educational Institu tions In the United States In 13U. accord ing to the annual report of the Commis sioner of Education Just issued. Of these over 19.000,000 were In elementary schools; 1,374,000 in secondary schools, both public and private; and 216,0X1 In colleges and universities. Close to another hundred thousand were in normal schools prepar ing to be 'teachers: 67,000 were in pro fessional. schools, and the remainder were scattered through other types of institu tions. The teachers for this educational army numbered "Oo.ono, of whom 7,O0o wero In public schools. In point of rapid growth the public high schools still presents tho most Impressive figures. The enrollment for 19H is greater by over St.OOo than for the ear before. The cost of education for the year, as estimated by the bureau, was $750,000,000. 'This three-quarters of a billion is a relatively small amount when compared with other Items In the public expense." declares the report. "It Is less bv fW. 000.000 than the cetst of running the Fed eral government; it Is less than one-third tho nation's expenditure for alcoholic liquors; It is only a little over three times the estimated cost of admissions to mov ing picture theaters in the United States for the same year. Measured in terms of products of the soil, tho United States spent somewhat more for education In 1014 than the value of its cotton crop, somewhat less than the value of lis wheat crop, nnd less than halt the value of the annual harvest of corn, while the nation's bill for education was le.ss by nearly a hundred millions than the value of the exports from the harbor of New York In the calendar year just passed." Very little Increase is yet to be notd In the. average term for public schools. Retween 1910 and 1915 the Increase was from 157.X days a year to 1W 1 a growth of only six-tenths of a day In three jears. Attendance has improved, however. The average number of days attended by each person enrolled Increased from 113 In 1310 to 115,! In 1913. BELIEVE ONLY WEATHER MAN. Italian Reports or War Motes In ipntrd. Author Mns.

WG TIM" "Bum Sports" Hoot Suffragist Who Invades Prize Fight Ring Gallery Groans and Cat Calls at Mrs. Frances Brewer, Who Enters Bloody Arena to Plead for Votes. Lady Ushers Popular. Br DAMON RUSYOX. New York, July 21. Suffrage Invaded the prize ring at the St. Nicholas Rink tonight, where Charley White and Ted Lewis, English-born light-weight, battled to a ten-round draw. Suffrage lost a popular dci islon on a viva voce vote of the Hum Sports' Club. The Rum Sports Club hail the house packed, and by com- fining a couple of thousand raucous voices they easily outpointed the pleasant .soprano of Mr.. Frances Rrewer. a mem ber of the Empire State Campaign Com mittee, which conducts the publicity work for the suffrage cause. Mrs. Rrewer. a brave little brown- haired woman, made an address from the ring before the White-Lewis fight be gan, nnd while the audience refused to listen and tried to hoot her down, she went right through with her speech. In the language of the roped arena. It might be stated that she had more gameness than her opponents, and In a longer ion- test would have won easily. I.ndles' Mcht for Pair It was ladles' night at the rink with a vengeance. As one entered the door the first scene that gladdened the ee was Mr. James Johnston, the half-pint-sized impresario, all done up in n boiled shirt effect. He was one of the most marvel ous spectacles that ever crawled through the ropes. The next sight of Interest was the squad of ladv ushers dressed In garments of pristine white, with large yellow hands proclaiming "votes for women" about each pair of fair shoulders. The lady ushers took quite an Interest in the vari out combats, but one of them was so wrought up bv the knockout of Kid Carter by Walter Thomas In two rounds that she thereafter jerked her head aside at every blow struck In tho subsequent bouts. Her idea evidently was to avoid seeing any gore spilled, hut she gave the impression that she had St. Vitus dance. The ladv ushers made a hit with many of the llht regulars. Chris Rrown was seen coming In seven different times', tach proffering his seat check and de manding an escort thereto. A larger crowd than usual was collected In the foyer watching the Incoming throng and taking a deep interest in nnv woman they were able to identify as a suffragist. On either side of the hall wero big ban ners calling upon the gents to vote for the suffrage amendment in November, and niongside of them were signs adver tising the forthcoming fracas between Gunboat Smith and Tom Cowler. Among the early nnivals were Mrs. Jerome Myers. Miss Ida Proper. Miss F.thel Plummer. Miss Alice Morgan Wright. Miss Mnry White and Mrs. Frances Rrewer. Sit Down lo Get A'otr. While the. Kokomo Kid and Hurry Thomas were In the heat of their ten round go a large delegation of ladies from the Empire State campaign arrived. They hlocked tho aisle at an Inoppor tune moment. "Sit down if you want the vote." shouted a voire from the rear of the hall. The ladies promptly found seats. In honor of the occasion Referee Rilly Roche wore his most subdued silk shirt and pledged his support to the cause. WHEN A MAN BY ONE The Snack and the Gossip. The Imps of perdition were gorge- conversation in the evening- after din ously "lit up" that night when oldiner that was soon to enlighten me. nnd Satan pitchforked Gossip, the ugu- est of his hags, out of the bubbling- caldron and Into this world of Sorrow and Patriotism. Revelry was rampant . on the Rrocken. The joyfest was hot! In Tophet. In the side-arm snack I stood In line, at noon. I pondered whether to ask . the provender hostler back of the coun- ter to give me ham on rye and coffee for my 10 cents, or a piece of short- cc'.e upon which a single nraut"j reclined radiant in its loneliness. It was a difficult Job and I looked about at the plates of other sandwich gul pers in an effort to decide. "Don't stare at them so hard." a woman said at my side. "Why. how are you. Mr. Hetherton?" The voice startled me. and I must have looked embarrassed. It was Mrs. Walters speaking;. "How are you I responded cordi- . ally. 'nd how is1 ,. ,-.k ,d little Helen and the Mrs. Hetherton and little Helen and the i uuiei ur ......... "Just dandy," I said. "I'm so glad. I think I shall run over there this afternoon." "Mrs. Hetherton. I am sure, will be pleased to have you call." I replied, and she passed on out to the street. As I hauled my ham and rye and coffee over to a side-arm chair, Mrs. Walter's startling greeting; struck me forcibly. What could she have meant by "don't stare at them so hard," I wondered. Myra opened up a line of SULLIVAN. When the first bout between Kid Car ter and Walter Thomas started slowly the referee was disgusted. "A little mors action, kids." he pleaded. "The suffra gists nre here, and you don't want to give them a bum show." In response to Roche's plea Thomas knocked Carter out in tho second round, the first martyr to the suffragists' holiday. The second bout between Johnny Rus sell and Willie Astey bristled with ac tion. In the fifth round both lads were bleeding profusely and lashing out like a couple of wild men. It was a regular fight and even enough to be declared a draw. At the close of this battle. Joseph Hum phreys bared his celebrated bald head to the calcium light and made a oeal lead that started the audience to buzzing. He announced that he wa- going to introduce Mrs. Frances Rrewer. of the Empire State Equni Suffrage campaign commit tee. From the gallery came a rumble of disapproval, but from the floor there was a wave of hand clapping. Veteran of many a. wild tumult, Joe sensed hostility and he made a few re marks that were designed to soothe the savage beasts of the mob. He implored the respectful attention of the audience for Mrs. Rrewer and said that the ladles were there at the Invitation of the man agement to Investigate the conduct of boxing under the Frawley law, as well as to give a brief statement of their side of the equal rights. Want Fight, Not Speech. "Remembcx, gentlemen." said Joe, In final appeal, "that we all came from woman." a statement which was received with some Incredulity. He then presented Mrs. Rrewer, and the Rum Sports got busy. "Put on the fight." yelled a voice as Mrs. Rrewer stepped to the center of the ring. A laugh stnrted. "Gentlemen," began Mrs. Rrewer and then her voice was drowned In an out burst of cat calls, groans, and whistling. Humphreys raised his hands, and then he raised his voice while some one clanged the bell and a momentary' silence was secured. "You might as well b quiet because there will be no fight until she's through." said Humphreys, and Mrs. Rrewer kept on talking. "I am here tonight, gentlemen." she said, "to ask you and every one for their votes next November. I am a member of the party that has been hammering at the New York State legislature for the past rIx years. Next November you are going to have an opportunity to vote on the suffrage question. Take It from me, it will be the last time. You will un derstand the truth of this statement when I tell ou there are already twelve equal suffrage States. Gentlemen, if you have any sporting blood In your veins you should be willing to. try this experi ment." Most of the disorder came from the gal lery, but there was plenty of It on the floor of the house. A lot of cheap wit ticisms were attempted, but they never fazed Mrs. Rrewer. and when she con cluded she was given a great hand. As it was. many of the honors belonged to her at the close. IS MARRIED WHO IS itoberi, she started on, and her eyes had a glint in them, "you must be very careful about your conduct In public places hereafter. You shouldn't forget yourself." "Myra, what in the world have I done now?" -oh. nothing that will cause me any i0sS of sleep, but you ought to be more discreet." "Well, what did I do, or fall to do?" Myra smiled blandly. "Just as if you didn't know." "Rut I don't know really I don't." "I don't believe you. Robert." she fired at me. "Why do you try to keep me-ln the dark as to your doings down town? What have I done to merit such treatment?" Myra's attitude thoroughly angered me for the moment. "This Is simply preposterous. Don't talk In riddles to me. I haven t the faintest idea of what you are driving at. Myra." "' " " " '""' uusDanus so easily forRet t,,elr wlve3 and 'a"""" when the, nre a from h leveled a seorchlncr trlnnrit mv wn- They don't do any such thing at least, I don't." "Yes. you do,. Robert, according; to what I've heard." There was a sob. "What in thunder have you heard?" I demanded. "Can't you recollect anything that I might have heard?" "Not a single thin that is, in which there is any truth." I was most emphatic. "Robert, possibly you might recall having stared at a couple of silly girls in a restaurant down town today, if I refresh your memory." Myra was tri umphant. "That is an infernal !" I blared. "Just a moment. Robert." Myra Inter rupted. "Somebody saw you." "Who?" "Mrs. Walters." "That gossip r' "Call her names if you like." "But, Myra, she IS a gossip." Myra Ignored my statement of fact.
