“APPEAL TO REASON" ITBI.ISHKK
SUICIDED LAST SUNDAY.
J. A. Way land, founder and owner
of the Appeal to Reason, a socialist
weekly newspaper^ published at Gi-
rard, Kansas, shyLvpnd killed himself
In hi* home In that city Sunday night.
Between the leaves of a book lying
on the bed the following note was
found:
"The struggle under the competi-
tive system is not worth the effort;
let it pass."
Friends of Mr. Wayland attribute
his act to despondency over the
death of his wife who was killed In
an automobile accident a year ago.
Mr. Wayland was to have ap-
peared in the federal court tn Fort
Scott Ivans., Monday to answer to a
charge preferred by the government
against the several editors and own-
ers of the Appeal to Reason, of cir-
culating through the mail deframa-
tory matter concerning an official of
the federal prison at Leavenworth.
1 alone am responsible
appear# In the cotufttn* of
the paper. Mr. "Wityland of late had
seemed much disturbed over the
pending case." said Fred Warren,
managing editor of the Appeal to
■ILL COTTON HERD
HEAVY LONN BY FIRE.
A fire alarm was turned In at two
o'clock last Saturday afternoon for a
fire in the seed house at the oil mill.
There are approximately four tbou-
stind tons of seed stored In the build-
ing and these had in some manner
caught on fire at the bottom of the
great pile, or thereabouts, evidently
from a hot box in a screw conveyor
which extends along the floor the
entire distance of the building, or
from a match which may have gotten
Into thig conveyor. It Is evident that
the seed bad then been slowly burn-
ing for several days and it was also
plain that the smouldering fire pre-
sented a problem to ever reach and
extinguish it. Ever since Saturday
all the men who could be had have
been at work removing the seed and
fighting the Are when opportunity of-
fered. and yet there is no nearer the
end than when it wa8 first discov-
ed, except that the seed removed Is
safe unless it should be ruined by
rain, a« most of that which has been
moved has been piled in the mill yard
The entire oil mill crew In this city,
the crew from Hlco and a portion
of the crew from Stephenvllle, besides
a number(of extra men have been
working in night and day shifts since
Saturday It Is impossible to esti-
mate the loss already (teemed, but it
will reach a very large figure.

says: After being tossed about in a
small power boat on the turbulent
waters of the Gulf of Mexico for four
days and nights without food, Capt.
Ed White and seven members of the
life-saving station at Port Aransas,
reached home at an early hour this
morning. They brought the two sick
men, members of the crew of the
Steamship. Nicaragua, who had been on
the steamer since October 16th. and to
get whom the life-savers left Port
Arar.sus last Wednesday. The crew-
after their return todav said the
small power boat In which they made
the trip was unable to make any
headway In the gulf waters. When the
cold norther blew up Thursday night
they droppod anchor In five fathoms
ot water and were compelled 'n stay
anchored for forty-eight hours while
the heavy breakers, high as a house,
struck the frail craft and thoroughly
drenched the men. After the stoTm
subsided the men made their way back
home, five of the men In the power
boat and the remainder in a surf

Thirty-four state* have ratified the
income tax amendment to the federal
constitution Only thirty-six In all
are needed to make tt a paft of the

yet to take action on the amendment.
Of these several are considered fa-
vorable to It A* n state legislature
