MUDGE QUITS Resigns Position of General Manager of Santa Fe. Becomes Second Yiee President of Itoek Island. HAS A HEAVY TASK. Must Bring the System Up to Standard. lias Ten Million Dollars to Spend First Year. WHAT WILL HE 1)0? May Not Draw on the Santa Fe. His Career Little Short of Wonderful. II. U. Mudge has tendered his resig nation as general manager of the Santa Fe railroad to President E. P. Ripley, to take effect May 1, and has accepted the second vice presidency of the Rock Island railroad system, with headquar ters at Chicago. As second vice president of the Rock Island railroad he will be in control of the operation of the road and upon hira will fall the responsibility of the expen diture of no less than ten millions of dollars in a campaign of track and property betterments this summer, and the placing of like sums each year until the property is brought up to the high est standard of excellence. Several weeks ago the announcement was made exclusively in the State Jour-" nal that Mr. Mudge had been ottered the post of general manager of the Rock Island railway, a place which is vacant on that road. The Rock Island, it is understood, made a tempting offer to Mr. Mudge, but he declined to accept the appointment, saying that he pre ferred to remain with the Santa Fe. President Winchell of the Rock Is land was determined to secure Mr. Mudge and he accordingly offered him the second vice presidency of the sys tem in complete control of operation, at a large salary. Trie inducements of fered were so flattering that as Mr. Mudge says, "I couldn't afford to allow sentiment to stand as an obstacle to the acceptance of the position." Mr. Mudge will succeed John F. Stev ens, who will resign the second vice pres idency of the Flock Island to devote all his time to looking after his private for tune. As second vice president of the Rock Island Mr. Mudge will have the ap pointment of a man to flu the office of general manager, the position which he was originally offered. Considerable speculation is already aroused in western railway circles in regard to the appointment. The ques tion which everyone is asking is "Will he appoint a Rock Island or a Santa Fe man?" Mr. Mudge refused to discuss that matter with a reporter for the State Journal. Those who are intimately acquaint ed with Mr. Mudge assert, however, that he will not follow a policy of filling Rock Island positions with Santa Fe men. It is well known among those who are acquainted with Mr. Mudge that he disapproves of such a policy. For that reason it is safe to say that a general manager for the Rock Island lines will be selected from among the operating officials now in the service of that company if Mr. Mudge finds a man he thinks is qualified for the place. The acceptance of the place with the Rock Island railroad was an im portant step for Mr. Mudge. I'nder the direction of President B. L. Win ched, who succeeded L. F. Loree in control of the Rock Island properties, many moves have been made which have resulted in a restoration of -confidence of investors, and the shipping and traveling public alike, in the road. Cine of the most important strokes was the deal whereby Mr. Winchell secured W. B. Riddle, who was for merly freight traffic manager of the Santa Fe, and made him third vice president of the Rock Island in com plete charge of traffic. Mr. Piddle is recognized as one of the fore-most traffic men in the coun try, and he has already accomplished a great deal for the Rock Island. Now the Rock Island has taken Mr. Mudge from the Santa Fe. Mr. Mudge bears the reputation of being one of the foremast operating officials of the United States. The high stand ard of excellence of the Santa Fe roadway and equipment is a standing monument to his skid and ability in handling a railway property. President Winchell was particularly anxious to get Mr. Mudge because it is the aun o the Rock Ii;iand man agcmeiit to practically rebuild the Rock Island lines. The Rock Island roadway has been what is known as a uirt road. The lines have not been Tuck ballasted. It is now the plan to spend ten mil lions of dollars this summer in tra-k improvement and ballasting and in improvement to motive nower 'and equipment. This work wil'l all be un der the direction of Mr Muje Mr. Biddle and Mr. Mudge v. ill make a strong team for the Rock I land. They have worked together on the snnta Fe. and with Mr. Mudge to V'-' !""i'fa 01 tne co;nr.anv :rH pleasure of' witnessin an increased flow of the coin into the strong-box Mr. Mudfo has been with the Santa Fe during his entire railway- career He was bom at Minden. Mich hi June. 18 5 6. He came to Kansas in 1S.1 and within a year he be'gan work on the Santa Fe, which was then Budding westward, as a water bov. Mr. Mudse's story of success is wdl known to most railway men. Before he began work as water bov he had acquired a common school education He next worked as a laborer and learned telegraphy by study of the profession outside of working hours He finally secured a position as tele-F-rsph operator and worked at the ky for ;wo jears. Next lie became a iV ec. vice up io standard and Mr. Paddle to devise 1 additional traffic, the Rock Inland! stands a good chance of h,.i u' brakeman and baggageman and was for the seven years following that time a conductor on both freight and pas senirer runs. Mr. Mudge then became a train dis patcher, which position he had for a vear." He was then appointed road ma ter, and then assistant division su perintendent. He was next made di vision superintendent of the Rio Orande division, the terrible mountain division in Xew Mexico. The Rio (Grande division gives the operating officials more nuts to crack than any other division on the road when the snows in the mounts ins begin to melt and fill the canyons with flood waters. Following his service on this division he was made superintendent of the western division. r --'I General Manager If. X'. Mudge, Who Joes to the Rock Inland. On May 1. 1893. he was made gen eral superintendent of the western grand division, a position he occupied till June 10, 1 894, when he was ap pointed general superintendent of the eastern grand division. He held this position till February 1. 1896. when he accepted the position of general super intendent of all the Santa Fe lines. On January 1. I!t00. he was appoint ed general manager of the Santa Fe lines. On May 1. 1905. he becomes second vice president of the Rock Island. "The Inspector" writing in the Rail way Age in November, 1 S99, says: One who has known Mr. Mudge inti mately thus writes: "Mr. Muogc is a man whose gauge cannot be taken in a cursory survey. While he impresses a stranger at once as being a man of superior intelligence, he grows as the measuring process pro ceeds. As he has worked his way step by step through the intricacies of rail road advancement, he has familiarized himself with the many vicissitudes the various phases of railroading present, hence his fellow feeling for the men who struggle with the environments surrounding them. Employes cherish his good will and fear his displeasure. Mr. Mudge is happily possessed of the qualities which command not only the respect but the better impulses of all the men on the line. He meets them on equality, but with only one maxim, 'duty to the company.' Mr. Mudge is loved and respected by every employe of the Santa Fe. He is almost as well known to many of the Rock Island employes, and doubtless he will at once establish himself in the af fections of the employes of that road as strongly as he is now established in the respect and admiration of the men of th.s Santa Fe. At the time Mr. Mudge was made general manager of the Santa Fe the State Journal printed the following story of his first work as water boy on the road: The term "self-made man" is almost too antiquated and stereotyped for modern use, but it is a term that is wholly appropriate in relation to the Santa Fe general superintendent. It was H. U. Mudge, who by sheer perse verance, raised the water boy to one of the most prominent positions in the railroad world. It may have been necessity, or it may have been a natur al inclination to take up that kind of work, which was the deciding influence in securing for Mr. Mudge the position of water carrier to a section gang of workmen engaged in the construction of the Santa Fe west of Emporia. That was in ISri and he was then 16 years of age. For an entire summer he ad ministered to the thirst of the laborers, but when cold weather came the water boy as a natural consequence found himself out of employment. At that time there was a man named E. R. Bartlett acting as agent and operator for the Santa Fe at Carbondale. He took a liking to young Mudge, and when he quit his job as water carrier, expired by limitation, he gave him work at Carbondale. What Eartlett did not care to do in his position as agent and operator Mudge did, and the agent and his assistant proved such good friends that for over three years the future general superintendent remained at Carbondale. During the three years at the small Santa Fe station young Mudge was not idle in his spare moments, and with the assistance of Bartlett picked up the art of telegraphy. When he left there he left to take a position as operator at a small station. From that time on his railroad career represent a gradual rise. Mr. Mudge is still a young man, not withstanding his strenuous work of a quarter of a century for the Santa Fe. It is related that in all this time Mr. Mudge has never asked for a promotion and has never asked for an increase in pay. It is equally true that he has fre quently changed his work for smaller pay in order to increase his experience and knowledge of the railroad business. Mr. Mudge's resignation as general manager of the Santa Fe makes a va cancy for an appointment on that road. It is of course not known who will succeed Mr. Mudge as general manager, but it is unofficially stated that the "ap pointments stands between J. R. Hurley, general superintendent of the Santa. Fe and W. C. Nixon, general" manager of the Santa Fe gulf lines. President E. P. Ripley is in California and Vice lYesident J. W. Kendricks is at Las Vegas or Albuquerque. He is making a trip to California. Doubtless the appointment will not be announced till Mr. Kendricks reaches California and consults with President Ripley on the matter. The belief is general and seems to be well founded that Mr. Hurley will be the man selected to succeed Mr. Mudse. Mr. Hurley has been closely associated with the latter for several years and is thoroughly conversant with the details and plans of management of Mr. Mudge and his appointment w-ould be but the natural sequence of events. (Continued on Pace Six- I HAT IS THE HAH MY. F. Kuntz Identifies as His Assailant. Heck "Grabbed Me and Tried to Kill Me," He Said. HE LEAVES SO DOUBT. Cross Examination Fails to Shake Him. Tells Pitiful Story of the Crime to a Jury. In the district court room this morn ing Cal Heck, now on trial" on the charge of highway robbery upon W. F. Kuntz the night of January S, and John Groff, who is yet to be tried for the same offense, stood before their ac cuser and he identified them in a posi tive manner. "Are you positive these are the men who assaulted and robbed you?" asked County Attorney Hungate. "I am," replied Kuntz. On cross-examination when Kunt was asked if he recognized Heck, the man on trial, when he was assaulted, Kuntz said: "I recognized him as Heck when he grabbed me. There he sits now. He grabbed me by the throat and tried to kill me. I knew he was Heck and I know he is the man who is sit ting there." The court room was crowded. Cal Heck, the accused man on trial, sat with his attorneys, William Deford, of Ottawa, and Galen Nichols. Behind him sat his father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Heck, and his two sis ters, Miss Pearl Heck and Effie Heck, all of Ottawa. Close by sat John Groff, who was arrested with Heck on the same charge, but who is expected to give state's evidence at the trial. On the side of the table with the prosecutors. County Attorney Hungate and Assistant County Attorney Mc Nary, sat Mrs. Kuntz and her little daughter and Calvin Kuntz, son of the prosecuting witness. On the witness stand was William F. Kuntz, who on the night of January 8, between 11:30 o'clock and midnight, was held up and assaulted at the alley between Sixth avenue and Seventh street, on Van Buren, within a few doors of his home, shocked into insensi bility, dragged into a barn, pounded on the head with a hammer, robbed of his money and watch and left to die or to freeze to death. The next morning he was found, barely alive, and taken to the hospital where he was for seven week. His skull was fractured in five places and at first it was thought im possible that he could live. Kuntz faced the twelve Jurors and they could see on his forehead two round, deep indentations. One was near the right temple and the other near the left. On The table in front of the jury was the bloody hammer with which the assault was committed. Kuntz, pale and enfeebled, spoke in a clear and pos itive manner and gave most damaging and convincing testimony. It required but three-quarters of an hour to select the jury. Neither the prosecution nor the defense challenged a juror but accepted the 12 men called to the jury box without excusing one. In his statement to the jury County Attorney Hungate said "The state will attempt to prove in this case that Cal Heck and John Groff assaulted and rob bed W. F. Kuntz on the night of Jan uary 8 and by violence took from him a S10 bill, four dollars in silver, a gold watch chain, a nickled watch, a chain and a charm. Mr. Kuntz keeps a drug store at 612 North Kansas avenue and lives at 620 South Van Buren street. On the night of January 8, as hewas re turning home about midnight, he was assaulted and robbed and Cal Heck and John Groff are charged with the assault and robbery. These two young men were friends and lived at a restaurant on Sixth street, near where the assault took place. We will attempt to show that they planned together to commit some crime. At that time Pearl Sheri dan, sweetheart of Heck's, was at Stor mont hospital at Heck's expense. He needed money for this extra expense. Groff was keeping company with a sis ter of Pearl Sheridan's. She became dck. Groff cared for her at a home near Seventh and Van Buren streets. "These two men went to Kuntz's drug store in North Topeka. They decided that this little man would be a good man to hold up. They laid in wait for him one night a month be fore they got him and they waited for him night after night before they got him. The night before they assault ed him Kuntz saw them on the cor ner of Sixth and Van Buren streets. Kuntz had worked for Lew Blackman at a drug store. Groff worked at Blackman's brick yard some months ago and on several occasions Kuntz cashed his pay check. A year ago Heck worked at the Kuntz home dur ing the house cleaning. We will show that before, the assault Heck and Groff figured out how far a man would be from the alley when his shadow, thrown by the street light, could be seen from the- alley. We will show that Heck grabbed Kuntz and carried him into the barn where he was robbed, assaulted and left to die. "After the assault Heck told many different stories. He said there was no blood on his clothe sand that if there was he could not account for it. Blood was found on his clothes." During a few minutes intermission Effie Heck sat on the lap of her brother, Cal Heck, with her arm around his neck and they talked to gether. When the witnesses for the prose cution were called to be sworn forty live answered to their names. Ed Cooper was the first witness call ed. He i.s a teamster in the employ of the Thomas Lumber company and tes tified to the finding of W. F. Kuntz in the barn where he was left after the assault. Harry Jones, who was employed at the lumber yard, was with Cooper when Kuntz was found. He and Cooper went to the police station and notified the officers. Mr. Kuntz. the victim of the assault, was the third witnrss called. "Do you recollect the occasion of your being robbed?" asked County Attorney Hungate. "Yes. sir." replied Kuntz. "What time was it?" "About 25 minutes of 12." (Continued on Pase Six.) CHURCH WOMEX IX SESSIOX. Missionary Societies of the Emporia Presbytery at Peabody. Poabortv, Kan.. April 2o.

ENOUGI Missouri Declared to Have Clear Case Against the Standard. Attorney General Holds a Con ference tVith Mr. Garfield. Kansas City, Mo., April 20. James R. Garfield, commissioner of corpora tions, and Herbert S. Hadley, attorney general of Missouri, had a conference today at the request of the Missouri official, who is pushing an investiga tion into the Standard Oil company's methods in this state. Mr. Garfield arrived here today after a week spent in investigating the oil situation in the Kansas and Indian territory field, to deliver an address before the Knife and Fork club at its regular monthly dinner. Before going into the conference Mr. Hadley said: "We have already secured enough evidence to prove that the Standard Oil company has been violating the laws of Missouri in monopolizing the oil products of the state. We hope, however, that the assistance of Mr. Garfield and the evidence that will be brought out as a result of his investi gations will make the state's position stronger than ever." Mr. Garfield also spent some time at the local office of the Prairie Gas and Oil company, going over the concern's books and questioning Its officials. GOOD RAIN FALLS.

The doctor says that his patient is making a remarkable gain and that the indications now point to his holding his own for several days at least. Lir. Potter does not express con fidence as to the recovery of Mr. Jef ferson, but he does say that if the im provement which was perceptible yes terday and which continued today, gradually growing greater, continues, there are hopes that Mr. Jefferson will recover.

Will Be Given 20 Days for Meditation. What is a "car day?" If anybody in this section of the wild erness happens to know the answer to this conundrum, he will confer a favor on the state board of railroad assessors by letting them into the secret without unnecessary delay. It seems that the law provMin-r for the taxation of private car companies, which was passed by the last legisla ture, is a sort of puzzle picture, origi nated for the purpose" of giving the board of assessors some severe mental discipline. Instead of bringing in a lot of revenue to the state, the indications are that the private car companies will pay about what they please, and the state will politely express its thanks, and let it go at that. In the law the words "car day" ap pear with persistent repetition. The whole thing is founded on a "car day" basis. The president or chief officials of every private car company must re port to the board the aggregate num ber of "car days" made on their line during the year. The board of rail road assessors shall then divide the to tal number of car days by the total number of days in the preceding year, "and the quotient so found shall be the number of cars on which said com pany,firm or individual shall be as sessed for said year." This process would be much simplified if anybody knew what was meant of a "car day." A National Gathering Here. Yesterday the office of Auditor Wells was filled with representatives of the private car companies. They came from all parts of the United States. They were all wearing a mysterious look. They had come to find out something. They were on the trail of the "car day. But they were still more sur prised when the state officers of the very state which passed the iaw told them that they couldn't define a car day; wouldn t know a car day it tney should meet it face to face. One of the men who represented a private car concern of great magnitude said: "I'll have to confess that I never heard of a .'car day' before I met it in the Kansas law. I have not been able to make any report, because my road has ro statistics on the subject of car days. Does -it mean the Jiumber of days of 2 4 hours each that our cars have been in operation during the year? Does it mean the number of davs upon which our cars nave en tered the state? The man who drafted that law is smarter than all of us; he ought to tell us what a car day is." However, the representatives of the private car companies manifested no disposition to get out or paying some tax, into the state treasury. They said thev were operating their cars in the state, and were perfectly willing to contribute toward the expense ot tne government. But they didn't knov how to go at it under the new law. Twenty Days to Meditate. In order to arrive at a satisfactory solution of the puzzle, the board of assessors decided to give tne privat car lines 2 0 days for meditation. The whole matter was postponed until May 10. By that time, it is hoped that the private car lines will figure out something which at least Dears a family resemblance to a car day. Every private car line man is expected to present solution to the enigma, and the board will decide wnicn is tne best. As a matter of fact, there is a great source of revenue for the state in the taxation of private car line companies, if it is nronerlv manaced. The inten tion of the legislature in passing the "car dav" law was good, but the ex edition was poor. Up to this time, not a cent of tax has been collected on the thousands of private cars wnicn are in daily use on the railroads or tne state. Here are a few of the big private car lines which operate over Kansas rail roads: m A American Refrigerator Transit Co., St. Anheuser Busch Brewing Co., St. Louis. Armour car lines, Chicago. c,,tK Cudahy Refrigerator Lane Co., South Omaha. Canada Cattle Car Co., Chicago. Dold Packing Co., Kansas fflty. Mather Stock Car Co., Chicago. Merchants' Despatch Transportation Co New York. Missouri Louisiana Car Co., Kansas Citv. Milwaukee Refrigerator Co.. Milwaukee. Vatinnal Car Lines Co.. Chicago. Provision Dealers' Despatch Co., To- PSta Louis Refrigerator Car Co., St. Louis. T Btrf Western Car Line Co., Chicaso. Schwarzschild Sulzberger Co., Chi cago Swift Refrigerator line, Chicago. Union Refrigerator Transportation Co., Milwaukee. Union Tank Line Co., New York city. "Waters-Pierce Oil Co. Webster Refining Co. Looking for Wisdom and Experience. Probably this experiment in the taxation of private car lines win give the state wisdom and experience, and when the next legislature convenes, somebody- will have a law ready which will realiy get the revenue out of the private car companies. The present law also provides that the assessment levied on each private car line company shall be prorated among the several counties traversed by railroads carry-inj the cars ui pro portion to the entire main track mile age of railways carrying said cars in said county. Some of the private car companies have only four or five cars, and tne amount of tax which each county would get out of some of these con cerns would have to be expressed in fractional parts of a cent. Some of the members of the board think that th only feasible way will be to turn the whole sum received from She pri vate car companies into, the state treasury, regardless of what the state law sai's. RINKER SENTENCED. Ellis County PoUtician JIust Pay $500 Fine and $1,000 Costs. James M. Rinker tbe "Rllia nnnntv Democratic politician, convicted on Monday in the federal court for send ing unmailable letters through the mail, was fined ?500 and the costs, $1,000. by Judge Pollock on Wednes day afternoon. Rlnker's attorney. David Overmvnr pleaded for a new trial. He consumed two hours in making his argument. It was his contention nrinoinal! v that the jury had not returned a verdict in response to the evidence; that the verdict was a compromise; and that proper cognizance had not been taken by the jurors of some of the doubtful features of the ease. Judge Pollock denied a new trial. and imposed a fine. It is Rinker's plan to carry the case to the United States supreme court. "I am going to ngnt it to the last court, lie said. "The charge is false and I shall not suffer for it." WHEAT DROPS 5 CENTS. Many Holders of May Option Become Discouraged. Chicago. April 20. A break of R cents a bushel occurred here in the price of vsneai ior May delivery. The sharp re action was said to be due to heavy li quidation by a number of discouraged holders. The action of the market to day gave indications of a nossihle aban donment by the Wall street coterie of the .deal in May wheat. No evidence was discernible, however, of any con certed selling movement on the part of eastern speculators. May opened at $1.13'to 1.13Mi and for a time held com paratively steady. Later sentiment in the pit became extremely bearish and prices rapidly declined until May touched $.09Mi. Distant deliveries also were weak and influenced to a large extent by general rains throughout the winter wheat belt. That the celebrated May deal at tributed to John W. Gates is being "'ound up became general belief in board of trade circles. Today's sensa tional developments left color to the widespread opinion that Gates realiz ing his inability to swing the nearby option to the lofty mark he had in mind, shifted the deal to the hands of J. Ogden Armour and P. A. Valentine. The early part of today's session was full of puzzling angles. Conditions on the surface indicated to many that Gates and Armour were getting out of May into July, the principal support to the more distant option coming from the Armour forces. TURNS OVER OFFICE. Snyder Will Become Probation Oflicer of Juvenile Court. Frank Snyder, former street com missioner, turned over his office today to James Ramsey, the newly appoint ed incumbent. Mr. Snyder has practically decided to accept the office of probation officer which is attached to the juvenile court. The pay of the new office, it is stated, will be placed at $1,200, equivalent to the salary attached to the office of street commissioner. Probate Judge Hayden today an nounces the appointment. OPENED AN ARTERY. A Denver Doctor Bleeds Himself to Deatli. Denver, Colo., April 20. Dr. I. S. Weyand committed suicide by opening an artery in his leg after administering a hyperdermic injection of morphine to lessen the pain of the operation.

A dis patch from Gunshu Pass says tha Russians have discovered a turning movement eighty miles northeast of Kuanchengtsu, about thirty miles northeast of Gunshu Pass, by two forces each of 3.000 Chinese bandits, several thousand Japanese cavalry; and 2 2 guns. Kuanchengtsu is identical with: Changchun, the extreme right of General Linevitch's main front, whiclx extends thence toward Kirin. England Is Worried. London, April 20. The British public is only now beginning to real ize how much depends on Togo'a skilful conduct of the approaching naval contest. Until Vice Admiral Rojestvensky actually arrived in tha straits of Malacca there was a dispo sition to ridicule the effort of tha Russian squadron; but now that there is seen to be a growing likelihood of Vice Admiral Nebogatoff joining Ro jestvensky's fleet before the fatal struggle opens interest is deepening into anxiety. According to the Tokio correspond ent of a news agency a momentous war conference lasting five hours was held there on Wednesday attended by the elder statesmen, the premier and ministers. It is not difficult to con jecture the nature of the council's deliberation. Tokio correspondents state the Jap anese have addressed a protocol to France on the Russian Pacific squad ron's presence in Kamranh bay, but that France has not yet replied. The lelegraph's correspondent at Tokio declares that a Japanese fleet U, ready to wail for Kamranh bay. The Telegraph's Hong Kong corre spondent states that two steamers which passed close to Kamranh bay on Sunday report no Russian vessels were then visible. No news, however has yet reached London to show that the Russians have left Kamranh bay, and it is assumed that they are still there. The Post commenting on the situa tion, contends that it is a matter of urgent importance especially consid ering Great Britain's world wide naval interests to endeavorto secure a more definite agreement on the question of neutrality of the use of neutral waters by belligerents. Dread a Running Fight. St. Petersburg, April 20. The keenest interest is manifested in the dispatches referring to the Russian squadron com manded by Admiral Rojestvensky, but the admiralty claims to be as much in the dark as the public regarding tha plans of the admiral. The -report that part of the squadron was sighted off Hong Kong is not credited here how ever, as Hong Kong is far off his route. The main question now agitating tha naval officials is whether Rojestvensky will elect to proceed northward through the straits of Formosa or bear off into the Pacific through Bashi channel south of the island of Formosa, or Bal mgtang channel, north of the island of Luzon. The conviction is growing stronger that the Japanese heavy di vision is collecting close to the shores of Japan, and it is also believed that Admiral Togo will decline to give bat tle in the open sea. This is what the admiralty officials hope for it sincerely believes Rojestvensky would have more than an even chance if the two squad- rons lined up in an open fight. They believe that Togo's tactics will be night torpedo boat attacks in attempts to scatter- the Russian ships, putting some of them out of action and then picking off the damaged vessels in the morning as it is recognized that if one of the Russian ships is injured it might be too dangerous for the whole squadron to stand by and thus offer a big target for the Japanese torpedoes. Such a running fight accompanied by nightly torpedo attacks therefore is what 4a most dreaded. The admiralty has no confirmation of the reported cutting of the cable con necting the island of Formosa with the Chinese mainland at Foo Chow, but it is pointed out that even if true it would not sever communication with Formosa as there is a direct cable from Kilung in the northern part of the is land, running by way of the Luchu is lands to Japan. Japan Is Irritated. Tokio, April 20. Although not report ed directly? it is believed that the Rus sian second Pacific squadron continues the occupation of Kamranh bay, or some other port of Annam, where it is ex pected to remain until joined by the third Russian Pacific squadron. The report thatAdmiral Rojestvensky is maintaining a patrol and examining neutral shipping off Kamranh bay in creases the irritation towards France for permitting the use of that port as a base of operations. The Japanese gov ernment continues silent regarding the representations on this subject which have been made to France. The press, however, continues its agitation against France, demanding vigorous action. Transport Service Checked. Yinkow, April 17. Via Tien Tsin, April 10. Few transports are now arriving at New Chwang. This contrast with the rush of traffic since the opening of the Liao river indicates that the precau tions are being taken against possible interference by the Russian Pacific squadron. Vast accumulations of stores have already been made along the Japanese lines of communications assuring full (Continued on Page Six.) t

Earl Green's Corntown Crowd Didn't Play Ball Much. On Wednesday afternoon the White Sox made Earl Green's Atchison Inde pendents look like about thirty cents' worth of tinware which has been dragged at the end: of a dog's tail over several miles of cobble pavement. It was almost pathetic to watch the white-legs pound into the Corntown people a real idea of actual class, The score, or obsequies, as it really ought to be called, was 14 to 3. Jreen's amateurs came with in flated chests. Ten days ago they de feated Topeka's Yannigans by a score of 1 to 0. They couldn't get over it. All Wednesday morning they were busy in disseminating information to people about the Oxford hotel con cerning what they would do to To peka. There was a decided drop in he general temperature, and partic ularly in the hang of Earl Green's mouth, after the funeral cortege had passed out of sight. The Sox commenced to fracture the horizon in the first round. Cole walked, Dunn got his life on an error at short. Abbott singled, Persch got to first on an error, Crum soaked the sphere for three bases, etc., etc., and all this netted six runs. The story, if all printed, would run about like that every inning. It was just a case of hits, bases on balls, and six juicy errors by tne Atchlsonues. Abbott and Crum both whaled the sphere for three-baggers, making, next to Earl Green's gruesome grouchiness, the features of the game. By dint of errors and punching the ball for three safe ones, the Corntown people ran up three runs in the last trio of innings. Bostwick singled his way to first in the seventh and then stole the second sack. Doyle singled him home. In the eighth Compton singled, stole the second bag and ran in on a wild pitch by Carter. In the ninth Bostwick singled again,' stole second, got to third on a wild pitch and beat home Doyle's deep fly to left field. The game was remarkable in that it took only an hour and ten minutes to play it. The temperature was too raw and chilly for a good exhibition, and the general work of the Sox was list less and dead, even In comparison to the awkward, amateurish work of the Corntown people. Alderman umpired. much to Mr. Earl Green s dissatisfac tion. Green went so far as to shake the curly-headed left-hander for a close decision against him in the first inning. Abbott and Jack Henry hustled out to the center of the dia mond and read the riot act to the belligerent visitor. Otherwise there were no "ntes and everything was brite and fare." The score: TOPEKA.

Nine of the Ten Members of the Pension Board Are Let Out. Washington, April 20. Nine of the ten pension examiners constituting the board of review have been sepa rated from the government service. Commissioner of Pensions Wrarner transmitted the nine resignations to Secretary Hitchcock with the recom mendation that they be accepted, and Mr. Hitchcock took the desired action without delay. The resigned examiners assert that representations were made to them purporting to come from the commis sioner that should they hand in their resignations matters would be relieved and restoration would be made at some date in the near future. Commission er Warner, however, made no such representation to the secretary of the interior. The difficulty involving the board of review was us approval of several pensions to applicants whose only claim was enlistment in a Penn sylvania and New Jersey regiment of volunteers for service in the civil war, but the services of whom were never availed of by the government.

The infield could be strengthened to ad vantage however. But take 'em all around the Sox look fine to me." Green played in the Missouri Valley league two years ago at first base for Fred Hornaday's Giants at Fort Scott. He would not go back last year. Topeka wanted him, but Hornaday put him on the blacklist and would not surrender him to anyone unless unless a big re lease price was paid. Big Fredericks, who played first at Fort Scott last year will play there again this summer. A little row is on over his price, but Warren oill nas practically brought him to time.

Clifton, Kas., April 20, Mrs. Ches ter K. Schuler. of this city, met with a horrible accident, the result of a gas explosion. The house is lighted with acetylene gas, which for some unknown cause w.is acting in a pe culiar manner. The plant was kept in a cave a few feet from the houpe, and she started out to see what the matter was, taking with her a little girl. Miss Sylvia Campbell, who stays with her. It was after 8 o'clock and pretty dark, so Mrs. Schuler took a lighted lantern with her. She started down the steps, the little girl remain ing at the top of the stairway. Just as she had reached 'the last step and opened the door, the gas, which had been escaping from a leak in a pipe, exploded, blowing Mrs. Schuler sev enty feet south of the cellar, when she struck a tree and fell to the ground. When she was picked up she was In a conscious condition, hut both legs were broken and her body and face were terribly burned. She is still liv ing and is suffering intense pain, but all hopes of her recovery have been given up. Miss Campbell was severelv burned about the face and will probably lose the sight of one eye.

Perhaps the most startling and significant in cident which has occurred in college politics within the last 12 years, is the decision of the Biblical Literary so ciety to "cut out" the an'.i-fraternity ciause from its constitution. The enrollment of the university hf s increased so rapidly during the last few years that it has become necessary to organize a new literary society in order that the great number of young men may all have the opportunity cf receiving the superior training offered in Baker's literary societies. The new society is composed of 2 2 members from each of the other old societies, and is named Promethean. The Baker university chorus of 60 voices, under the direction of Prof. R. G. McCutcheon, rendered April Hi, the cantata "Rose Maiden." This Is the cantata composed by Frederick Cowen and translated from the Ger man by R. W. Francillon. The giving of this cantata is a great big adver tisement for Baker, for Prof. Mc Cutcheon and the vocal department. Prof. McCutcheon has certainly been untiring in his efforts and the success of his department has been most gratifying. April i9 the baseball team from K. S. A. C. played agamst the Baker team on Baker's home field. A new sorority has been organized among the young ladies of the univer sity. The name and membership have not yet been made known.

No Joints Run on His Emporia Prop erty, He Declares. Emporia, Kan., April 20. A strange state of affairs ,was brought to light here through the offering of a reward by Colonel H. C. Whitley, owner of the Fifth Avenue and the Whitley buildings, for evidence show ing that the present proprietors of the Fifth Avenue, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Mechtley, were running a joint. Last summer an injunction was served on Whitley as the owner of the Fifth Avenue hotel, to force him to stop the sale of liquors, which was alleged to be going on in the building. The suit was lost. At the request of some of the local temperance workers a similar injunc tion was served on Whitley this week by the county attorney, and Whitley came back with a signed statement in which he claimed that the county at torney had admitted to him that he had no personal knowledge of the al legations in the notice, and that he had issued the order because he had been -so requested. In con clusion Whitley offered a reward for evidence which would lead to the con viction of the Mechtleys. Carlosd of Cattle Killed. Troy, Kan., April 20.

Armed deputies in charge of Sheriff O'Mo honey succeeded In maintaining quiet at the Arkansas Valley plant of the American Smelting and Refining com pany here, where 40 weighers and wheelers went on a strike for shorter hours and succeeded in keeping nearly S00 employes from working. The fires of eight furnaces have been drawn and the other two are bariked. The mines in the district have been ordered to cerise shipping to the smelter until further notice. No disorder is looked for and a settlement is expected with in a few days. The wheelers struck when the smelter put into effect the recent eight hour law which does not Include them.

Four arrests were made by the deputies. The strikers are all foreigners, some of whom belong to unions, but there is no local organization.

Scott, who for the past year has been gen eral superintendent of the Houston Texas Central railroad, comes to Chi cago May 1 as assistant director of Maintenance and operation of the Harriman system. He succeeds B. A. Worthington, who recently was pro moted to vice president and general manager of the Oregon Railway and Navigation company and the Southern Pacific lines in Oregon. W. B. Scott commenced his rail way career in Topeka in 1873, when he became a messenger for the Santa Fe system. While not carrying mes sages he learned to telegraph, and in IS 83 he became a train dispatcher. In 1S87 he was made chief dispatcher and trainmaster of the Santa Fe. From 1SS9 to 1897 he was superintendent of telegraph of the Santa Fe. In 1S98 he was appointed superintendent of the Santa Fe in Texas and held that posi tion until March, 1903, when he went to the Harriman system, becoming general superintendent of its lines in Texas. A year later he was promoted to the position of general manager of the Houston .Texas Central, with headquarters at Houston. His succes sor in that position has not been se lected. Establishes Xew Bureaus. The Santa Fe traffic department has decided to establish an industrial bu reau and a foreign bureau to look after new freight and passenger -business. A number of other western railroads have already established these bureaus. So far they have been successful. Alton Fixes New Wage Schedule.

S In a recent letter to The Peruna Medicine Co., Miss Julia Marlowe, of New York city, writes the following: "I am lad to write my endorse ment of the great remedy, Peruna, as a nerve tonic. 1 do so most heartily." Julia Marlowe. Nervousness is very common among women. This condition is due to anaemic nerver centers. The nerve centers are the reservoirs of nervous vitality. These centers become blood less for want of proper nutrition. .This is especially true in the spring season. Every spring a host of in valids are produced as the direct re sult of weak nerves. tra engineers have made as low as $50 in three months. Firemen have aver aged correspondingly. The extra men recently protested at this manifest un fair plan, with the result that the com pany will not allow the regular engine men to exceed the amount stated. When they have reached this amount they are to lay off and give way for the extra men. In this way the latter will be enabled to make something during dull seasons, as the company does not want to discharge the extra men, be cause they are needed badly about 75 per cent of each year.

MILLION FAILEO TO SWERVE HIM President Ramsey of Wabash Will Retire. New York, April 20. The long stand ing friction between Joseph Ramsey, president of the Wrabash railway sys tem, and George J. Gould, head of ail the Gould roads, has resulted at last in Mr. Ramsey's retirement. His resigna tion as president of the W'abash Pitts burg Terminal company was accepted at a meeting of Wabash directors in this city, and F. A. Delano, formerly general manager of the Burlington line east of the Missouri river, was elected to succeed him. October 1, it is un derstood, is the date agreed upon for Mr. Ramsey's final formal retirement as the president of the Wabash sys tem and his severance of all connec tions with the road. He will then go on a six months' tour of Europe. As early as last January Mr. Ram sey wanted to resign the presidency of the Wabash, but Mr. Gould persuaded him to defer action. Since then furth er friction between the two men brought matters to a crisis resulting in the action taken today. Mr. Ramsey had been president of the Wabash since 1896 and has accom plished wonders in the development of ths property. The plan to enter Pitts burg and share in the enormous ton nage of that city was originated and executed by him. The offer of 1 mil lion dollars from the Pennsylvania rail road did not avail to swerve him from his purpose and in the face of enormous difficulties he "put the Wabash lnta Pittsburg." Securities issued to cover the cost of his undertaking resulted in differences between Gould and Ramsey and hia friends claim that while he saved the Wabash enormous sums by his finan ciering of this deal, he has been ham pered and restricted In his management of the Wabash terminal properties ever since. This is Mr. Ramsey's first step tow ard final retirement from the Wabash system, and it is probable Mr. Delano, who succeeds him as president of tha Wabash Pittsburg Terminal company, will also become the president of the Wabash railway system. Joseph Ramsey is a widely known railway man. He was born at Pitts burg April 17, 1850, was educated in the Western University of Pennsylvania, and began life as civil engineer. Ha has been president and general mana ger of various railways and is a mem ber of the directory of the American Society of Civil Engineers. Mr. Delano began his railway career in 1885 as an apprentice in the machine shop at Aurora at five cents an hour, end has been constantly in the service for 18 years, rising In the shop servlca and motive power department to ba superintendent cf motive power and general manager of the Chicago, Bur lington Quincy.

Si; 3 ASSOCIATED SS2 The State Journal is a member of the Associated Press and receives the full day telegraph report of that great news or ganization for exclusive afternoon pubii cation in Topeka. The news is received In the State Jour nal building over wires for this sole pur pose. The new seat of war in the Far East Is likely to be somewhat damp. It isn't the blades of grass that Reed sharpening just now; but the lawn mowers. That man Castro is evidently taking Advantage of President Roosevelt's preoccupation with the Colorado bears. Only five times in the last 22 5 years has Easter come a3 late as it does this year. The latest date on which it can occur Is April 25. Victor Murdock seems to be the same observant individual as a con gressman that he was as a newspaper reporter. That Shawnee county assessor who proposed to assess a constituent at the point of a revolver cannot be charged vith dereliction of duty. Still, Mr. Coleman lias riot said any thing about acting: on that information that $14,000 has positively been stolen cut of the Btate treasury. When Governor Mickey donned overalls and nailed up the fence on his Nebraska farm the other day, he may incidentally have put a few nails into his political fences. If money is the root of all evil, John I. Rockefeller seems to be mighty successful in pulling at the root. In fact, he seems to be very successful in extracting the cube root. The belief that the Kansas board of railroad commissioners may now have the power to correct certain abuses seems to have brought a good many of these things to the surface. Senator Burton may think that the hand of fate strikes him with consider able unnecessary force, and besides it seem to be doubled up without any pro tecting four ounce glove encasing it. Up to the hour of going to press the telegraphic reports have contained nothing about anyone refusing any of your Uncle Russell Sage's money be cause it is tainted or for any other reason. The Jiji Shimpo seems to be the lead ing boss boster organ of the Flowery Kingdom, but it is backed up at pres ent by the Nichi Nichi and the Azashi Ehimbun, both of which are said to be machine organs. President Roosevelt is by no means the only New York man who enjoys an encounter with bears. Most of them differ from Roosevelt, however, in that they hunt the bears on the stock exchange. The French government may have "taken every precaution to preserve neutrality in French waters in Indo china," but the Japanese think that the hiding of the presence of the Russian fleet in those waters is a peculiar way to do it. Senator Long's press agent in Wash ington gives it out that the big fed eral patronage in Kansas is "in statu quo," which being translated means, up in the air; and it is likely to re main so apparently for several months. If Tom McNeal really believes that people who are worthy to live are the ones who die, and those who ought to die are the ones who live, how does he account for the fact that bald-headed editor of the Mail and Breeze has re mained so long in this vale of tears? The state oil refinery legislation seems to be already bearing fruit of a practical nature for the entire state. The drop of half a cent a gallon in" the price of coal oil tins week by the Standard means the saving of a great amount of money to the people of Kansas. If President Roosevelt has ever enter tained any doubts as to the wisdom of the appointment of Judge Pollock to the leaeral bench, it is suspected that they will totally and eternally disappear when he receives his copy of Tuesday's State Journal and reads Judge Pollock's official views on the subject of race sui cide Victor Morawitz's idea of the Colo rado Fuel and Iron case may seem rational from his point of view, but to an outsider the explanation which he gave the senate committee on inter state commerce yesterday is extremely weak. Mr. Morawitz says the Santa Fe did not pay the Colorado com pany a rebate, but simply charged it $2.90 a ton for freight on coal from Trinidad to Deming, N. M.. and then collected $1.15 a ton as the price of taa coal, which was turned over to the Colorado company, but which was not a rebate, a tqtal of $4.05 collected from the consignee. But if reports are correct, the freight on the coal of other companies from points not as far away as Trinidad was $4.05 straight, and the Santa Fe did not turn over to the producing company the original pi'ice of the coal. In other words, a discrimination was given the Colorado Fuel and Iron company amounting to the value of the coal at the mines. RESIGNATION OF MR. MIDGE. The carter of II. U. Mudge, whose resignation as general manager of the Santa Fe to accept the second vice presidency of the Rock Island is an nounced today, is a most interesting study. Hardly has he reached his prime of life, yet he has climbed from probably the lowest point in the rail way service to one of the very highest. No railway official in America began lower or has Served in a greater va riety of places than Mr. Mudge. A lit tle over SO years ago, as a. boy of six teen, he began as a water carrier for a grading gang when the Santa Fe main line was being pushed west from Newton. Three years he put in as a roustabout at Carbondale, during -which time he mastered the telegrapher's key and was eventually given a little sta tion of his own. Then he entered the train service and advanced successively as brakeman, baggageman, conductor, and train dispatcher. From that time his advancement was rapid. He was successively roadmaster, trainmaster, assistant division superintendent, and superintendent of the Rio Grande di vision. Then he superintended suc cessively portions of the road and final ly became general superintendent of the entire Santa Fe system. That was in 1SD6. Four years later he became the road's general manager. The Santa Fe will hardly seem the same without H. U, Mudge in Us em ploy. He has never until now been in the service of any other company and his career has been practically contemporaneous with that of the company. Both with great strides have gone forward together. No other man knows the Santa Fe system as he does. He has served in almost every capacity in its operation. He has a genius for managing the operation of a railroad, and his work has done much to make the Santa Fe the mar velous railway system it now is. As a Topekan Mr. Mudge will be sorely missed. His constant,, interest in the city's welfare and growth must now be almost a sentiment rather than the personal affair and study ef a resident for his new work takes him to Chicago. His fellow citizens will only forgive him for leaving, by con gratulating him upon a worthy call to a higher place. THE BATTLE FOR UXIOX PACIFIC A financial battle which is of more than ordinary interest to Kansas, as well as a number of other western states, is that which is now raging in Wall street for the control of the Union Pa cific. It is a battle of financial giants the great controlling interests of the railroad world. On one side is E. H. Karriman, who is allied with the Rockefeller interests, and who almost built up a monopoly of transcontinental traffic with the Union Pacific as a basis. On the other side are the Hill Morgan interests, which are striving to take away from Harriman the railroad on which he built his fortune. The summary of the business done on the New York stock exchange last week shows that 1,062,355 of Union Pa cific common stock changed hands dur ing the week. No other western road showed much more than one-tenth the activity in the stock market. A year ago Union Pacific common was selling at 83. Last Saturday it closed at 134, having ranged from 130 to 137 during the week. If Harriman manages to retain con trol it means that the L'nion Pacific will continue to be allied with the Southern Pacific, Oregon Short Line, and the new Salt Lake road. It means that Harriman and the Rockefeller in terests will continue their attempt to secure a connecting link between Chi cago and Kansas City and Omaha, in which event they will have a Standard Oil system from sea to sea. If the Hill interests prevail the Un ion Pacific will be in the community of interests with the Burlington, the Northern Pacific and the Great North ern. It will also enable Hill and Mor gan to prevent the Harriman-Rockefel-ler sea-to-sea combination, and it may force Harriman to give seme of the trade of the great (southwest, on which he now has a monopoly. ROOSEVELT AND PASSES. "The president's train on this road will be paid for at regular rates and all bills for transportation will be set tled, through the auditing department of the Pennsylvania road and will be paid for by the president. The only special courtesy which will be ac cepted by the president will be per mission to ride on the engine through Red Rock canyon." This is the anouncement made by the officials of one of the railroads over which President Roosevelt's spe cial train passed on his western trip. There is a lesson in it for a good many lesser public officials than the president of the United States. There is a bare possibility that all officers are not quite as careful about accept ing "courtesies" from railroad com panies as is President Roosevelt, and It is refreshing to know that the head of the government is setting such a good example. It is to be hoped that oth ers will not be bashful about follow ing it. By the way, what is the latest rea son assigned by ex-Governor Stanley for not furnishing- his portrait to be added to the collection on the walls of the governor's office? Such an intel lectual countenance as that of the Wichita ex-governor ought not to be lacking among- the rulers of Kansas.

What has become of the old-fashioned lodge men who wore little white aprons in funeral processions? When a man and wife have no children they usuallj- have fads that are vastly more expensive. Every man thinks his teeth, when pulled, come particularly hard. And the men are right: every man's teeth come particularly hard. We don't believe we will ever blow about our grandchildren, and tell how smart they are; we will try to dis guise the fact that we have grand children. In every household many conces sions are made and plans prepared for "keeping father good natured." But they never have to worry about moth er; she is always good natured. It is said that an Atchison little girl is so polite she has been known to go to a party and refuse to eat everything offered her, and once when she went visiting, she said "No, thank you," so often that she almost starved to death.

The late Guilford Dudley, a Topeka banker, never thought much of elabor ate bookkeeping. He kept a bjok show ing how much he owed depositors and his notes showed for themselves. Bank commissioners always had trouble when they tried to examine his bank. They were never able to get a look at his notes. He would say, "Go to the book and find how much I owe depositors." When the examiner had figured the amount he would go into the vault and bring out enough cash to meet the bill. And that is all a bank commissioner had a right to ask. Which reminds us of the late L. L. Northrop. He kept a perfect set of books, but he had so much money in use that he frequently found that he had a whole lot more cash than he had depositors. Then he would hurriedly look around for some investment. Once he had as much as $50,000 at a statement day more than he owed depositors and he sent hurry calls in all directions asking for investments.. When the panic of lb93 brought down so many banks his correspondent in Kansas City failed. He had out a lot of bank drafts and he made arrange ments with another bank to carry them for a time. He borrowed, probably the first time in his business experience, $5,000 from the Chase National bank of New York. Then he began calling in loans that he had allowed to run for years because the signers did not care to pay them then. He soon found that he had so much money that he didn't know what to do with it. Among other things he discovered a bond on Iola which should have been paid two years before, but he had- neglected to present it. Of course it was not the most mod ern way of conducting a banking busi ness, but it was one that was sure nev er to lose the depositors a single cent and that is something more modern banking could very well look more care fully into. Iola Record. ROW FOLK DOES IT. The action of Governor Folk, of Mis souri, in telegraphing the sheriff of St. Louis county to do his duty regarding the Sunday closing law, has a ring to it which sounds like the genuine. The saloons were closed in St. Louis San day by the governor's orders but the saloon keeperg in the surrounding country reaped a harvest. Governor Folk did not w ait to be petitioned in the matter, but promptly wired the sheriff to do his duty. It is a safe guess that St. Louis county will be "dry" next Sunday. The right kind of a governor can do it every time. Salina Journal. MISS CARLSON'S OPINION.

The county commissioners have given their consent to the erection of' the building there and everyone should be willing to contribute liberally to assist so worthy an enterprise. As it is now, there is no place provided for the country, people, to stay when they come to town unless they sit around in the stores and this is very disagree able.

The terms have all been agreed to and will be signed as soon as some of the for malities have been complied with by the tunnel company. This will elimi nate most of the wagon service, which has cost the government about $106, 000 a year. Some of the mails will have to be carried by wagon, and that, making the service as contemplated aggregate over $200,000 a year, or al most double what it has cost. Time saved and small possibility of delay are considered by the postoffice authorities to be worth the extra cost. Much time has been lost in transfer ring the mails between stations by wagon and also in making the deliv eries from the main office. The instal lation of tunnel service, together with the pneumatic tubes already in opera tion, will give Chicago the most up-to-date system in the world. Electrical World and Engineer. Just What It Looked Like. There is a loquacious member cf one of the West Philadelphia school boards who will be more careful in future how he questions the pupils in the schools he visits. The other day, while attending a primary class hi geography, a teacher asked a boy what a volcano was. As the youngster did not seem to know what answer to make the director attempted to draw a picture of one on the blackboard, using red crayon with which to illus trate the fire. "Now, my boy," he said, "what does this look like?" "Please, sir, that looks like hell," came the answer. The lad was sur prised that his reference to the place the picture reminded him of should create the excitement it did. Phila delphia Record. Forcslgbted Philanthropy. President Angell of the University of Michigan told this story to a class in international law: "Some years ago, when I was United States minister to Turkey, Greece was visited by a severe famine. A great wave of sympathy and pity swept over the United States, affecting the wo men particularly. They raised hun dreds of dollars for the relief of the sufferers. With true Yankee hus bandry they did not send the money in cash, but spent it in buying vast quantities of cloth which they made into dresses for the Grecian women. One entire ship, I believe, was loaded by this outpouring of charity. I never was tired of referring in diplomatic circles to the generosity of my coun trywomen, and for a time was the envy of the representatives of the other governments. "Shortly after the ship arrived and its cargo had been distributed, I had occasion to make a trip through Greece. It was in the days when our ladies wore extremely large sleeves; but the style in Greece was not the same. You can imagine my surprise and humiliation when I saw" that the Grecian women had not known what the American garments were and had put them on their husbands for trous ers." Boston Post. Wonderful Tact. Mrs. Hamilton Fish, when her hus band was secretary of state, made it a rule to call on all the women who left card3 at her home, or who attended one of her receptions. One afternoon the Fish carriage, all glittering with trappings, halted before a shabby little house in a narrow side street. The footman opened the car riage door. Mme. Fish stepped out in queenly attire. The poor woman of the house, alas, was kneeling on the sidewalk beside a bucket of hot water scrubbing her front steps. Imagine how she felt! What would you have done in a predicament so awk ward? Mrs. Fish, bending over her, said graciously: "Is Mrs. Smith at home?" Mrs. Smith replied: "No, mum, she ain't," and went on scrubbing. Ruins ef St. Pierre. One of the saddest sights I have ever seen in my life is the ruins of the city of St. Pierre, Martinique, whose population of 40,000 was wiped out. it is said, in thirty seconds by poisonous gases which suddenly burst from the sides of Mount Pelee at the time of the eruption three years ago. Only the walls of the great warehouses along the quay and of the cathedral, halls, theatres, churches, business houses and homes remain as silent witnesses to testify that there was once an active, gay, and bustling French city standing there. The streets are heaped ten feet deep with ashes, belched from the crater. The trees which once shaded its streets and adorned its famous botan ical gardens are leafless and ugly mon uments of its destruction. When I landed from the ship in a small boat not a soul survived to meet me and tell the story of that fearful moment. All was the silence of death, and there was not even the rustle of the fer de lance amongst the pitiful ruins that dreaded snake whose bite is certain and speedy death and which used to infest the sides of Pelee, and steal down sometimes, it is said, into the gardens of St. Pierre. It, too, has been eliminated from the scene by the impartial volcano which spared neith er sex, age, color, nor any living thing. Chicago Tribune. Ambidexterity. As defined by lt3 secretary, the prin ciples which it is the object of the Am bidextral Culture society of England to maintain are: 1. That it is possible to do two things well at the same time, and that every ordinarily intelligent person is capable of becoming an ex pert in the performance of two concur rent and unrelated acts as he can be in the separate accomplishment of one. 2. That the acts which are thus designat ed as concurrent or simultaneous are, so far as the senses can he determined, absolutely so whatever the refinement of analysis and science may ultimately declare them to be. For all practical purposes they occur precisely at the same instant, though they may be the oretically nothing more than incon ceivably rapid alterations of volition. 3. That a certain amount of simultaneous work, under soecified conditions, is healthy and expedient. 4. That under other particular conditions it is neces sary and harmless. 5. That while it is both proper and advantageous to pre pare and qualify children for the execu tion of two-handed work, and more es pecially of two-handed writing, during their school life, it would be unwise, if not pernicious, to encourage or pre scribe for artisans and others the least amount of simultaneous manual labor o-er and above what has hitherto been taaad. requisite foe tfca effective execu tion of the work to be done in the sev eral industries of manufacturing life. Commenting upon this subject "The New York Medical Record" says that "there would seem to be no valid rea son why the left hand not, at any rate, be put to far greater use than is at present the case. The comparative lack of skill in the left hand is frequently a source of discomfort and even of loss to the individual." Public Opinion. The Fanner's Wealth. Areputable eastern farm journal states that the farmers of the United States have in two years produced wealth exceeding the output of all the gold mines of the world since Colum bus discovered America. As Secre tary Wilson makes the same state ment it must be true, the agricultural crops of 1904 being valued at $5,000, 000,000. Of course this definition of "wealth" is rather loose, for there would be little wealth in these prod ucts were it not for the demand for them from the world who have the money to pay for these food products. But ruling it down to the better state ment that the farmers and their con suming customers have produced $5,000,000,000 of wealth in a year the achievement is enormous. Because of this great advancement in the pros perity of the farmer, a great journal has been established whose avowed mission is to lead advertisers toward the rich fields opened by the increased opulence of the farming communities. In California the best journals keep the advertiser in close touch with the farmer by publishing the news. Los Angeles Times. THE EVENING STORY. The Cure That Failed. The Belsnyders had been married for three years. Mrs. Belsnyder had always insisted that Belsynder sol emnly promised her that after their marriage he would stop smoking. Bel snyder never argued. He always laughed and reached for his second or third or fourth cigar, as the ease might be. When Belsnyder made hia semi-annual protest against paying rent with nothing but life to show for it at the end of the year his wife always sprang the pet argument of theorists and woman lecturers that a man, by sav ing his cigar money, may, with the aid of mysteriously compounded interest, possess his own elegantly appointed home in ten or fifteen or twenty years, according to his grade of slavish ad diction to the habit of smoking. At such times Belsynder did not laugh. He muttered things instead and smoked savagely. One evening Mrs. Belsynder looked up from her embroidery and put a quavering query. "Are all patent medicines poison?" Belsnyder was in a gracious mood. He was also intensely interested in a prize fight story in the newspaper, so he answered at random. "Oh, no, no!" he said, at random. Later in the evening he remembered the question, and spoke to the light of his life about it. "You aren't thinking of doping up on medicines just because spring's coming?" he asked. Her hurried denial soothed his mild anxiety about her health and the mat ter dropped. Until one day last week. Belsnyder came home to find that his wife had not yet returned from her club. So he stroll ed out to the dining room to find what fate had provided for his starving inner man. The savory odors there both stim ulated and soothed him and he went over to the sideboard for a glass of wa ter. As he put dow-n the carafe he set it hard upon a large, square box. The inscription upon it caught his eye: "It kills the appetite for tobacco." Belsnyder picked up the box, with one eve on it and a warier one on the door, and mastered the printed directions. He recalled his wife's query about patent medicines a week or so before. Then he knew what was in the wind. He was to be "doped" regularly, at every meal, with every cup of coffee, tea or cocoa "doped" to a finish! Belsnyder went to me icieiumuc nm called up the corner druggist, beseech ing him to send a boy over with his or der immediately. The clerk promised and Belsnvder walked the hall until a boy and the saccharin which Belsnyder had ordered arrived, in five minuj.es to the second. Belsnyder tiptoed into the dining room again, swiftly emptied the "dope box" of its contents and put in the harmless saccharin crystals. Then he retired to his den to smoke and smile and counterplot. When he tasted his coffee that night he knew that his wife was at her dire ful work already. Mrs. Belsnyder watched him nervously as he drnnk his coffee, ten times too sweet, and passed his cup for more. "You seem to like the coffee tonight, she ventured. "It is unusually good," said Belsny der, graciously. Mrs. Belsnyder's somewhat ar.xious brow relaxed. Belsnyder had three cups of coffee for the good of the cause, and was skillfully "doped" each time. When they rose from the table Mrs. Belsny der followed close upon her husband's heels and thev entered his den togeth er She looked disappointed when he reached for his cigar box, and then she almost screamed for joy when he put back a carefully selected weed. "Somehow," said Belsnyder, 1 don t seem to care for a cigar tonight." He walked up and down the room and finally went to the telephone. Mrs. Belnyder listened. When Belsnyder returned it was to meet with reproaches. Mrs Belsnyder loathes cigars, but she looks on cigarettes as born of gutter scum, and Belsnyder had just ordered a dozen boxes. While he waited ho walk ed the floor. "My dear he said patiently, time and again, "I can't explain it.. I only know that whereas I have no desire to Smoke any cigar on earth. I am mad for the son'thing effects of cigarettes. Why. oh. why." exclaimed Belsnyder tragically, "doesn't that boy come!" When the boy came after fifteen min utes, during which time Belsnyder grew more and more eager, his package was wrested from him by a seemingly mad dened man. Belsnyder started in at once. Ciearette after cigarette he smoked before his wife's horror-stricken eyes When she crept away from him at last, sick and baffled, he was still smoking though he did not finish that cigarette. Belsnyder's treatment had proved heroic for them both. He tasted his coffee next morning tentatively he felt in no condition for oversweet concoctions. But after the first sip his brow cleared and he drain ed the cup. He lighted a cigar non chalantly, as usual, when he told his wife good-by and said no word about cigarettes. Since then his wife has not mentioned the subject of cigars. Chi cago News. The young preacher had made a fairly favorable impression with his mniden ser mon, but the deacons were somewhat du bious.

SUCCESS. It is not stopping1 when the fight is won; It is not resting when the march is made But it is pressing ever on and on. It is not ceasing when the game is played Nor folding- hands when one task has an end The laurel withers and the bay will fade When the last hill is climbed, the last song penned. The last nail driven, the last girder laid. One prize achieved? Ahead then glows the next; He who would win must make the fur ther quest. Success is his, who, wearied and perplex ed, Still ever onward to new goals has pressed, Who sees, each day, more misty heights to climb. Who feels, each day, new thrilling in his breast, Who does not count the loss of thought or time That brings him step by step up to his best. W. D. Nesblt in Chicago Tribune. HfMOK OF THE DAT.

CHICAGO- FALLS TOGRQUfiD Prosecution of Cold Storage People for Selling Liquor. Judge Dana Takes Cases Away From Jury. 0 EVIDENCE OF SALE. Only Thing Proved Was That Beer Was Stored. Attorney Dcenning's First Ap pearance as City Prosecutor. The Hodgins-Kaczynski liquor trial did not reach the Jury. When the evi dence for the prosecution had all been submitted Judge Dana took the case from the jury, stated that there was no evidence whatever to show that the defendants were guilty of violating the law, and he discharged them. The prosecution foiled to prove anything except the existence of a cold storage warehouse, the storage of beer, and the 1 fact that R. F. Hodgins and Vincent Knezynski are proprietors of the stor age plant. This was the first legal battle the new city attorney, F. G. JJrenning, had to P.sht in the district court. This trial gave Flank Stahl, inter mittent city marshal of Topeka, the first chance to take a prominent p:irt in the affaiis of the world since he re tired as head of the force. It was he, while chief of police, who charged Hodgins and Kaczynski. proprietors of the Toprka ice and cold storage plant, with the illegal sale .ii liquor. Stahl, and ids officers, had seen car loads of beer delivered at the storage plant. Arrests followed and ITod gins" charged that the action was simply spite work and retaliatory. The case came up for trial in the district court on an appeal from the police court, and Pfenning was flanked by J. K. Codding, attorney for the State Temperance union. Officer Whulen, with a list of beer delivtries to aid him, told of the tim-s he had seen wagons drive to the cold storage plant and receive loads of beer In kesjs and cases. Then he told of th Joints where he had seen beer deliv ered. He did not know whether it v.-a3 the same beer or not and he did not know who kept the joints or much about them, although he thought the furnishings of the Joints resembled the paraphernalia of 11 saloon mi)" than the furnishings of a bakery.

Dusenberry said he saw the same but he went further ami said that when he and Chief Stahl walked down to the plant that the unloading: was stopped, that the doors of the cars were closed, that the doors of the cold storage plant were barred, the moat was flooded, the bridge was hauled up and Stahl was not invited in. Dusenberry thought this wa3 quite a serious proceedings. It evidenced guilt, he thought, but on cross examination the attorneys for the defendants allowed the Impression to drift out that the cold storage pro prietors took Stahl and Dusenberry for bandits. Dusenberry then read "from the diary of a special cow-ketr-and-bicycle officer." He save the dates on which he saw beer delivered to various places in or about Topeka. He told of a certain alley being so full of empty beer keg's that the wagons could not pass and he had to assist in clearing the alley. He did not exactly connect the alley with the case but he had his say. TO LOSE h TRAIN. Passenger Service on Missouri Pacific May He Discontinued. On-May 1, the only Missouri Pacific passenger train which now runs out of Topeka, going nt 9:30 a. m. to Carthage, Mc, will be discontinued because of a lack of business. A mixed passenger train leaving here at 11 a. m. will be substituted." Fred Xipps, Missouri Pacific agent here, said this morning that he did not believe that the change would be made, but that he could not say definitely. "It is stated," he said, "that the line does not pay. But I hardly believe that the officials will take the train out of service on that account, but I have no definite information concerning it. In case the change is made, a mixed pas senger niU leave here at 11 o'clock in the morning to take its place." Secretary Anderson, of the Commer cial club, was asked about the matter this morning and said: "Some time ago President Holliday took up the rumor with the Missouri Facific officials and they emphatically denied it. That was about three weeks ago. Since that time talk has been very insistent that the train would be removed, and I am confident that it. will. It is a shame if the Missouri decides on such a course of action. If they do it, the business men o this city ought to give that concern the marble heart. We voted them $75,000 when they came here, and what have we received in return. Now they want to take off the only passen ger train which they have running out of here. I do not know whether the Commercial club will take any action in regard to the matter." The train in question has been in op eration for about six months. In addi tion to it, the Missouri Pacific daily sends out a freight, which also carries passengers. A. O. U. W. entertainment at Audi torium tonight. Good programme. Free.

Laments His Capture by the "Machine Crowd." T. Benton Murdock, he of double spectacles and El Dorado, was in To peka today on his way home from California where he spent five days at Los Angeles catching- sand-dabs, mackerel, Tom-cod and other things in the Pacific ocean. There is nothing to indicate that Mr. Murdock has recovered from the at tack of dissatisfaction with Governor Hoch, which broke out just before he left on his California trip. Mr. Mur dock said that since he landed in To peka on Wednesday, he had made some more discoveries of interest. "Governor Hoch," he said, "is run by John Quincy Adams Royce. Rovce is run by Mort Albaugh. Albaugh is run by Cy Leland. Senator Long runs the whole outfit. "Whenever anybody -wants anything of this administration, the way to get it is to ask Royce. You can't get any thing without Royce's permission. Body, soul and breeches, Governor Hoch has sold himself out to the ma chine crowd. Look at that gang of machine men in the bank commis sioner's office. Then there's Gilbert of Brown, Biddle over at Leavenworth, Marshall out at Hutchinson, all kooc machine men. "Senator Long and the machine crowd have promised to make Hoch the next senator. That's what Hoch Is figuring on right now. He fully ex pects to be senator to succeed Burton. The gang has promised to' make him senator, just as they promised to make Stanley senator. Long wants to name the senator because it will help his chances for re-election. "Xow the result of all this will be that Hoch will be a one-term gover nor. No governor has ever been re elected who has been a candidate for United States senator at the same time he was running for governor. This whole Hoch crowd will be turned out. "Stubbbs is out with Hoch, of course. He's sore. But he is a gen tleman, and is keeping his dissatis faction to himself. He is learning a few things about politics. At first he was too sensitive; he couldn't stand criticism. He is learning now that he must take a few knocks and be more diplomatic in his treatment of people." "Will Stubbs be the next United States senator to succeed Burton?" "I rather think so," replied Mur dock. "But it isn't sure. I know who is going to be the next governor of the state, too, but I won't tell. It won't be any of this machine crowd. The people will turn them out again. The machine is trying to run things just as it did before the boss buster rising." Bent Murdock is now In the same congressional district with his nephew, Victor Murdock, who is can didate for re-election to congress from the new district. "You will be for Victor for congress, won't you?" was asked of the El Do rado editor. "Xot unless he cuts loose from this machine crowd." was the reply. "If he hooks up with that outfit, we'll throw him out.. "I was out in the western part of the state not long ago," said Mr. Murdock, "and somebody c ame up to me and sad, "So you're Victor Murdock's uncle, are you''' 'Xaw,' I said, 'Victor Murdock's my nephew.' Mr. Murdock has written a 7,000 word article for his paper, the El Dorado Re publican, about his California trip. "I'm going to print the whole thing in one issue," he said today. "Give a whole page to it. I tried to get some sketches of things out there for illus trations, but couldn't do it. I believe it's a good story. I just tell all about the trip, what we did and saw and all that." Mr. Murdock says that he is going back to El Dorado now to resume work on his paper and behave himself. Two More Officers Turn in Their Stars. B. T. Darby and A. A. Woodward Tictims. The work of septii.ing police officers from their jobs is still in progress, and the end is not yet. Four or five more are slated for the hari-kari treatment. Last evening R. T. Darby, who was sergeant under the Bergundthal ad ministration, and a candidate for the job of chiof, was notified by letter that he was discharged from the force. He had been working as patrolman since his job was given to John Gardiner, but was at home when notified. It was generally believed before the notice of last night, that Darby would be re tained as a patrolman or jailer. Ben Perkins, colored, was put on the force last night and A. A. Woodward laid off. Woodward's release has not been definitely decided, however, and there is still a chance that he will be retain ed. While frisking the ancient curio casket in his office, .Chief Goodwin ran up against some undesirable relics this morning; a small bottle of nitro Ciiief Goodwin and the Dynamite. glycerine and a box of detonating caps, both dangerous articles, and a pint or the "awfulest" whiskv ever manu factured in Topeka.

Gives Details of Kuntz Assault on Witness Stand. In the Heck assault and robbery cas? John Groff made a complete con fession on the witness stand this after noon. He was asked: "Do you know who held up and robbed Mr. Kuntz?" "Both of us." "Who do you mean?" "Cal Heck and I." "What was first said which led up to it? "Something was said about getting easy money." "What was suggested?" "He suggested taking copper wires off the telephone poles and I said I would rather stick some one up than to take such chances." "What did he say?" "He said he was in debt and had to have money." "Did you go to North Topeka?"' "Heck and I went to Kuntz's druar store in North Topeka. Heck asked me whose place it was and I told him. He said Kuntz would be a good man to noia up. "Did you see Kuntz there?" "Not that time. We went back again. "On your way home was anything said about holding- up Kuntz?" "We decided to hold him up that Sunday night." "Did you go back to Kuntz's drug store "We walked back and saw Kuntz and his porter in the drug store." "What did you do then?" "Went to a restaurant." "What did Heck do?" "He went back to see if Kuntz or his boy was m the drug store." "Was he there?" "Yes, he and his porter." "What did you do then?" "We came over to the Orient hotel and sat outside and watched for Kuntz to come over on a street car. We didn't see him till he got off. He had the start and we could not catch him without running, and we gave it up for that night."

Jessie, the three-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. D. W. Taylor, was so horribly burned Tuesday- afternoon that death resulted Wednesday. The Taylor home is west of North Topeka, north of the lower Silver Lake road. In the afternoon the little rirl wan dered away from the house to the field where her brothers were burning corn stalks. The child is supposed to have trirown a stalk into the fire and as she turned the wind blew the flames up under her dress setting her skirts on fire. The child screamed but her brothers who were some distance away could see nothing the matter and not until she had cried several times in her agony did they realize that her clothes were on fire. In less than ten minutes from the time the child left the house she was missed by her mother who started to hunt for her. Going into the field she found the little one f with her ciotnes in names, jars. Taylor wrap ped her dress skirt around the little form while the boys poured water on the fire. The child's body was terri bly burned. Her riht arm w-as burned off to the shoulder and the left arm at the elbow. Her chest and back were badly burned and the flames had so enveloped her head at the back that the bones were exposed. The little sufferer was in convulsions until her death.

Mr. Chase has many friends who would like to see him get this appoint ment, and while he is not a "mixer" like McNeal, he would see to it that the office was conducted in a dignified and acceptable manner.

6 THE TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL, THURSDAY EVENING,., APRIL 20, 1905. Z i Hf 51 'JUtli IL Commissioner of Corporations Quits the Kansas Field. Mis Agents Still at Work in the Oil Begions. ill HE SIXTEEN OF THEM. JSoth Sides of the Controversy Given Fair Hearing. ore Embarrassing Questions Are Asked the Standard. Independence, Kan., April 20. Mr. Garfield, the commissioner of corpora tions, made a whirlwind finish of his in vestigation of the oil business and left last night for Kansas City. On his re turn from Bartlesville, I. T., he confer red with all the officers of the Kansas Oil Producers' association and State Senator Fitzpatrick of Chautauqua county. Whatever may be the report the com missioner makes, it cannot be said that fee did not give both sides of the oil controversy a hearing-. He gave the producers the first and last show at it, and the Standard all the time it want ed. Mr. Garfield wishes it understood that he does not personally take testi mony and that he personally merely ex amines the surface of things. He leaves the taking of testimony and that sort cf thing to the assistants. There are now in the field more than sixteen egents of the department and they are all busy. They are scattered around all through the oil field. Mr. Conant did not go to Kansas City with Mr. Garfield. He will remain here for a day or two days longer. Mr. Gar field said he had been very much sur prised at the extent of the Kansas oil lields, and the amount of work required In this investigation. He said he had a good general idea now of both sides cf the controversy and would leave the siatter of the details in the hands of his assistants. 4 Denied by the Prairie. One query came up which is likely to fee added to the list of unanswered questions which have been asked the Standard. The National Transit com pany is the corporate name for all the Standard pipelines east of the Missis eippl river. The National Transit com pany is the owner of all except six ehares of the stock of the Prairie Oil and Gas company. The Prairie Oil and Gas company, through its president, iW. J. Young, denies that the Standard controls or owns the Prairie company. SThe president of the National Transit company is Daniel O'Day, one of the directors and one of the organizers of the Standard Oil company of Ohio, Pennsylvania and New Jersey. The query which Commissioner Garfield esked is this: 'Did Daniel O'Day, as president of the National Transit com pany, inform Daniel O'Day, the direc tor of the Standard Oil company, of the purchase of the Prairie Oil and Gas company by the National Transit com pany, and did he inform the other di rectors of the Standard that one of the tentacles owned the Prairie Oil and Gas company?" Just as a parting hot Mr. Garfield esked just a few more questions which the Standard people are still thinking over. They ran something like this: 'Who makes the difference between the market price of crude oil and the mar ket price of refined oils? Who gets the profits between 56 cents a barrel and $4 a barrel? What makes the market and what controls the price of both refined and crude oils? Why does the Stand surd run 26 degree oil from the Dorring ton lease at Humboldt, and refuse to run lower than 30 degree oil in Kan sas? Does the fact that Dorrington protested against the passage of all protective legislation have anything to do with the fact that his oil is being run through the pipeline, while all oth er oil of similar grade in the state is being refused? Why does the Standard accept all oil produced in Indian Terri tory as rapidly as produced, and then raise the cry of over-production in Kansas?" Clerks Are to Blame. Mr. Garfield was interested in the Btory at Emporia of the continued de fiance of the provisions of the anti discrimination law by the Standard. It was supposed the Standard was obeying- the provisions of the law. The Standard has talked much to Mr. Gar field about its obedience to all statutes. The commissioner mildly and gently referred to the Emporia story and at once the Standard officials became ac tive. It was the old story of orders issued and the disobedience of some clerk. All the wickedness of the trust has been laid on the shoulders of the fifty dollar-a-month clerks. This caused one of the government agents to remark that he wondered what the officers of the Standard did to earn their salaries if the clerks made all the mistakes. Hears the Producers. Last night the producers had a con ference with Mr. Garfield. The at torneys for the Standard were around on the edges of the crowd watching every move. The producers told Mr. Garfield their side of the case. They Informed him officially of the reduc tion in the price of oil made yesterday fend then they made an inquiry which may be asked the Standard. "Yester day's reduction was more than 8 per cent. The Standard's justification of present prices is overproduction. Did the production increase 8 per cent in the month just past? How is it that with constantly decreasing supplies in the east the Standard keeps cutting the price- of oil in the west? How is it that the same grade of oil in Ohio was cut 2 cents a barrel and in Kansas cut 5 cents a barrel? Why is it that 32 degree oil in Kansas is worth less per barrel to the producer than 2 8 degree oil in Ohio? Why is it the Standard Is building thousands of barrels of storage tankage in Indian territory and says it cannot handle the oil pro duced in Kansas? Fair Hearing; for All. "We have a vast deal of work to do yet," said Mr. Garfield. "We have much more than we anticipated. But the people can rest assured that we are going to try and get at the facts. We want the facts; we desire everv Jierson having information relating to the oil inquiry to send us the facts. We shall appreciate it if the DeoDle realize the difficulties in gettir.g at both sides of this question. Any sug gestion made to the department will "be appreciated. We ask for sugges tions every day. This is a matter in which every citizen of Kansas ought to take an interest and help the depart ment." Of course nobody knows what the report of Mr. Garfield will be. But it can be said that he has given the producers every opportunity to make cut their case. The Standard has beer, gsreparlng its side of the matter for six weeks. Copies of all reports were y-easiy when the commissioner visited the offices. All the pipeline reports were ready, and all the financial re norts were read v. It appeared'to be an effort on the part of the Standard to direct the lines the inquiry should follow so far as their part of the busi ness was concerned. H. U. f.lUEGE QUITS. (Contlnurd from First Page.) Mr. Hurley has been with the Santa Fe almost as long as Mr. Mudge, and he also holds the highest regard and esteem of both employes and officials. If Mr. Hurley is selected to be general manager, it is likely that Dan Cam, general superintendent of the western grand division, will be brought to To peka as genera superintendent of the eastern grand division, and a man will be selected to take Mr. Cain's place at La Junta. Mr. Mudge owns his residence prop erty on Topeka avenue and his family will continue to make Topeka their home for a few months at least. Mr. Mudge will take up his residence at Chicago after the first of the month, and his family will follow to that city at a convenient time. Mr. Mudge will not be at his desk at the Santa Fe general office building i great deal between now and the first of May when he assumes his new du ties. Mr. Mudge and his family go to Fort Worth tomorrow to ispend Easter with Mr. and Mrs. P.urton Mudge. Af ter their return to Topeka Mr. Mudge will go to Washington. D. C, where he is a delegate to the International Rail way Congress which begins April 29. The International Railway congress will be the greatest railway gathering ever held. The executive and operating officials of practically every railroad in the -world will attend, and the American railway men are planning an elaborate program of entertainment for the dele gates from foreign countries. THAT IS THE WAN. (Continued from Page One.) 'When you were going along Van Buren street did you see any one near the alley?" Yes, I saw Heck and Groff." "How were they standing?" "One was on the west side of the walk and the other near the alley." "Who was closest to you?" "Carl Heck." "Who was near the alley?" "John Groff." "How close was Heck to you?" "Two feet." Both men stood up and Kunts identi fied them both in a positive manner. I will ask you again if you are posi tive that these are the two men?" asked Hungate. "I am," replied Kuntz. "What did they do?" "Heck grabbed me and took me into the stable." "Do you remember anything more?" "My mind is a blank after that." "Had you ever seen Groff before?" "Yes."" "When did you see him?" "I saw him when I used to cash his pay checks for him and I saw him a few days before that night." "Did you ever see Heck before?" "Yes, I saw him when he worked at my home house cleaning and I saw him a few days before." Kuntz told of the watch and money he had when held up and assaulted and identified the overcoat he wore the night of the assault. "Did you have those scars on your forehead before you were assaulted?" "No." "Do you remember being struck?" "No." "How long were you in the hospital?" "About seven weeks." On cross examination conducted by Deford Kuntz told specifically of the times Groff had been in his drug store. "Did you have any conversation with him at "these times?" asked Deford. "Yes, I asked him what he was do ing and he said working for the Edison company." replied Kuntz. "Did you see him any other times?" "Yes, "a dozen times I passed him on the street." "Did you know his name?" "Yes, I knew his name was Groff." "When did you first meet Heck?" "When he was cleaning paper at my home a year ago." "Did you know his name?" "No." "When did you next see Heck?" "At my store." "Who was with him "Groff." "Did you speak to either of them?" "I spoke to Groff." "Did anvone tell you Heck's name?" "I think Groff did." "What conversation did you have?" "I asked them what they were do ing and they said working for the telephone company and I asked if thoy made much." "How far was Groff from you when you saw him the night of January 8 "He was coming toward me from the alley. I stepped aside to let him pass." "How far were you from-them?"" "Heck was right west of mo." "Did you see Heck's full face?" "Yes, he turned his face toward me." "What then?" "Heck grabbed me by the throat and choked me." "When did you see Groff?" "He came out of the alley." "Could you see who had you by the throat?" "Yes." "Did you recognize him as a man vou had seen or did you know him as Heck?" "I recognized him as Heck. There he sits now. He grabbed me by the throat and tried to kill me. I knew he was Heck and I know, he is the same man who is sitting there," re plied Kuntz. "Did you talk with Sheriff Lucas at the hospital?" "Yes. he brought Heck and Groff to the hospital." "Did you have any conversation with your wife about these two men "After they were brought out to th hospital T told her that they were the men who hurt me." "When they were brought to the hospital what was said?" "Lucas asked if I remembered these men and I said yes they were the men who assaulted me." On redirect examination County At torney Hungate asked: "Is your mind as clear about -what happened while you were in the hospital as what hap pened before the assault?" "No," replied Kuntz. Sergeant MeElroy told of the police being called and Kuntz being taken to the police station. He described the blood stains in the barn. Calvin Kuntz. son of Wm. F. Kuntz. was the next witness and told of see ing Heck and Groff the night of the assault. A Card of Thanks.

There was a de termined attempt on -the night of April 17 to cut the railroad between Harbin and "Vladivostok, a formidable body of Chinese bandits making an attack near the station of Imyanpo, one hundred miles east of Harbin. After a desperate fight which lasted several hours the bandits were driven off and dispersed. Many smaller companies of Chineae bandits are roving in the rear of the Russian army, but disappear when pur sued. It is thought probable that they are Manchurians who scatter to their villages when they find themselves in danger. There are various reports of wide turning movements at Sitsihar or east ward of that point, but as yet these ru mors are apparently unfounded. The vigor of the skirmishes taking place on the east flank of the Russian army, however, seems to indicate that the Japanese are planning to thrust northeastward and interpose a force between Harbin and Vladivostok. Is Outside Three, Mile limit.. Paris, April 20. No confirmation has yet been obtained of the report that Japan has formally protested against the stay of the Russian squadron in the waters of Indo-China as being a breach of neutrality. The following guarded, semi-official statement was is sued: "Nothing is known in the highest French diplomatic circles concerning the protest which according to certain foreign reports has been formally ad dressed by Japan to the French gov ernment relative to the violation of neutrality by the Russian squadron. Furthermore this squadron has been outside French waters for several days past." In view of today's press dispatches saying the Russian squadron was at Kamranh bay, the last part of the semi official statement appears to Indicate that Admiral Rojestvensky has with drawn outside the three .mile limit from the shore line of the bay which accord ing to French law constitutes the open sea. Governor General Is Away. Paris, April 20. A dispatch received today says M. Beau, governor general of Indo-China, recently decided on mak ing a tour of the coast on board a naval auxiliary vessel. He stopped a Quin- hon, which is 150 miles north of Kam ranh bay and afterward proceeded to Hanci, capital of Tonquin. This indi cates the absence of the governor gen eral from his usual headquarters at Saigon. The purpose of his trip was not stated but it appears to have given him an opportunity to observe the coast which is the subject of controversy in connection with the presence of the Russian squadron In Indo-China wa ters. Awaiting France's Reply. Tokio, April 20. 5 p. m. The reply of France to the protest of Japan against the Russian squadron using Kamranh bay has not been received in Tokio, but is expected shortly. The statement that the cabinet and the elder statesmen after a conference held, forwarded a protest is incorrect. France was approached through the usual diplomatic channels. The officials here are not certain whether the Rus sian are still at Kamranh bay, although they were reported to be there yester day. Russia Is Annoyed. St. Petersburg, April 20. o p. m. It is claimed hers that Admiral Ro jestvensky has not overstepped the French rules of neutrality at Kamrann bav. the coaling and provisioning of his ships occurring outside territorial waters. Russia has not been aavisea that Japan has lodged a protest in Paris. The charges of Russia s viola tion of neutrality coupled with the re vival of the story that Russia intends to send her Black sea fleet through the Dardanelles and the report that the British Mediterranean fleet has been sent to the Aegean sea to head off the Russian fleet cause extreme irritation. England Makes Formal Denial. London, April 2 0. Foreign Secre tary Lansdowne has taken occasion formally to deny to the Russian gov ernment the statement of the Novoe Vremya in regard to the British cruis er Iphigenia which vessel the newspa per said had transmitted by wireless telegraphy the information that she had passed Admiral Rojestvensky's squadron 140 miles from Saigon. This, the Novoe Vremya declared, was very important news to the Japanese inasmuch a Rojestvensky had suc ceeded in slipping by the Japanse scouts. The denial of the British for eign office contained the specific state ment that the Iphigenia did not even sight the Russian squadron. NORTH TOPEKA.

Hyde, the de mand of the organization of general agents for Mr. Hyde's resignation and the institution of proceedings in Louisi ana, asking for a receivership for the society under the Louisiana law engag ed public attention today almost to the exclusion of other topics. Mr. Hyde made an appointment yes terday to meet today the committee of general agents appointed to demand his resignation. This committee was made up of Joseph Bowes of Balti more, W. J. Roddy of South Carolina, Frank C. Levy of New Orleans, Charles Jerome Edwards of Brooklyn and Charles Wake of New York. While Mr. Hyde agreed to receive this com mittee, he declared that he had no in tention whatever of resigning and that he regarded the action of the general agents in making such a request "as impertinent, extraordinary, insulting and most preposterous." The demand for an investigation and the action inaugurated in Louisi ana were regarded as making critical a condition which alreadyx was ex tremely serious. When the committee called at Mr. Hyde's home at' No. 9 East Fortieth street they were met bv Mr. Hyde and William H. Mclntyre, Charles B. Alex ander, W. C. Gulliver and Alvin Krech, his advisors. The commutes remained in the house 12 minutes and returned to the Hotel Savoy -without giving any intimation of what occurred. A representative of Mi-. Hyde announced, however, that a sten ographic report of everything said at the meeting had been made and that an official statement would be issued by Mr. Hyde later in the day. Official Statement. The official statement given out by Mr. Hyde of his meeting with the committee follows: Mr. Bowes, as chairman of the com mittee, said "I am charged, sir, with a some what disagreeable task, the bearing to you of a request from a convention of managers and agents now assembled in the Hotel Savoy, that you volun tarily resign your position as vice president of the Equitable Life. Fol lowing is the request of the conven tion: "James H. Hyde, vice president of the Equitable Life Assurance society of America: "We, the general agents and man agers of the Equitable, assembled in convention from all parts of the United States and Canada, are per sonally and through our agents in close touch with the people, and knowing the deep-seated convictions of the policy-holders, and deeply de ploring the necessity for our action, therefore sincerely and earnestly ap peal to you, on behalf of the Equit able, to the creation and upbuilding of which your father devoted" his life, and for the sake o-f its policy-holders and its agents, to set aside all personal interests ana now voluntarily retire from the vice presidency. "HENRY J. POWELL, "Chairman. "F. A. McNAMEE. "FRANK L. LEVY, "K. W. ESTES. "Secretaries." Mr. Hyde's Reply. Mr. Hyde's reply to the committee was as follows: "In the first place, I have no inten tion of resigning the office of the vice presidency of the Equitable. Such a course I would consider cowardly and disgraceful to the memory of my father. Second, it is evident from your extraordinary request and from the report of the proceedings at your meeting that you have not the re motest conception of this unfortunate controversy or the motives behind the selfish struggle for the control of the society. I think, however, that you are entitled to know something of the real facts on which my attitude Is based, and I will therefore write you tomorrow in reply to the request made in this remarkable communication. "I think, however, that your request might have been far more justified had it been made to those having no interest in the society who precipitated this unfortunate controversy and are keeping the agitation alive to serve their own selfish purposes. You will hear further from me tomorrow. "Of course j'ou gentlemen must know that the questions at issue are now in the hands of the department of insurance and Mr. Frick's commit tee, who, I think you will agree with me, are the ones to judge. It is but fair to them to say nothing further. "I appreciate how greatly you have been afflicted through the "misfortune, but I tell you again that the best way to bring about a satisfactory conclu sion for your men is to remain loyal to the Equitable and not to do any thing before the report of the investi gating committee. On reflection I think that you will be able to see im partially and to judge these matters which are now the subject of contro versy in our society." Mr. Hvde and his secretary received the committee alone, his lawyers and advisors having left the house just as the committee entered. E. A. Woods, general agent of the Eouitable in Pittsburg, said today, it was not true as reported that tie had been offered a vice presidency in trie society in return for support of Mr. Alexander and Mr. Tarbell. Mr. Woods also said: "It has been claimed that Mr. Alex ander in his efforts to bring- about mutualization was influenced by the fact that he would control the proxies of the policy holders. The public evi dently does not know the proposition Mr. Alexander made to the so-called committee of 11. Mr. Alexander told them he -would agree to have the proxies of the policy holders sent to and deposited with President Roose velt. Grover Cleveland or the presi dent of any six American universities. In the presence of fir. Alexander Mr. Tarbell announced, this from the plat form at one of the meetings." Tax on Stock Transfers. Albany, N. Y., April 20.

People's Gas rose point. Stocks which were, bought late yester day to support the market and figured prominently in the closing strength were unloaded freely today. This was notably manifest in the Southern, Transcontinen tal and Coal stocks. That little inquirj existed for St. Paul was evidenced by a sale of 100 shares at 182 with the preceding sale a point higher. The low prices of the I first hour indicated losses of 3 points in Atlantic Coast Line, 2Vi points in Tennes see Coal, New York Central and Union Pacific and 2 points in St. Paul, 1 points in Illinois Central and 1 to 1 points in Louisville and. Nashville, Canadian Pa cific, Pennsylvania, Baltimore and Ohio, Delaware and Hudson, Erie, Rock Island preferred. United States Steel preferred, Amoigamated Copper, Brooklyn Transit, and some others. Louisville and Nashville was marked up suddenly from l!53i to 148H and Atlantic Coast Line from 163 to 1(77. St. Paul rallied to 183, but the ef fect elsewhere was only momentary and prices fell back to the lowest. Stocks were unloaded in great volume in all directions with occasional feverish rallies on bear profit taking. Amalgamat ed Copper, with an intervening rally of a point, fell nearly 3 points and Smelting 3 points. Union Pacific dropped 3 points with blocks of 1,000 to 7,000 shares coming out.

St. Paul, Min neapolis and Omaha dropped 4 points. Northern Securities on the curb sold off over 4 points. There were some fitful rallies again before noon. Bonds became easier in sympathy with the break in stocks. The apparent paralysis of the demand made the bears bold and their attack dis lodged enormous stop loss orders.

New York Central 4H points, Metrooolitan Securities 4 points. Smelting, Colopado Fuel and Ten nessee Coal and Iron 4 points.

WHAT AI1E THE FACTS Caledonian Coal Company Alleg ed $400,000 Damages. Freight Rate Was $2.90 Instead of $4.05. Washington, April 20. Victor llora wetz, of the Atchison, Topeka Santa Fe railroad, who was again before the senate committee on interstate com merce, in reply to a question bj- Sena tor Dolliver, explained the charges re garding the granting of rebates by the Atchison to the Colorado Fuel and Iron company. He said the alleged rebate grew out of confusion of the cost of transportation and the cost of coal. The Atchison filed with the in terstate commerce commission a rate of $4.05 from the mine to the point of intersection with ano'ther road which was controlled by Phelps, Dodge Co., the coal consignees. As a matter of fact, he said, the rate was $2.90 per ton, and the difference, $1.15 per ton, was paid to the Colorado Fuel and Iron company for the coal. The road collected the price of the coal and th- cost of transportation at the point of delivery. It was alleged that the pay ment of $1.15 to the Colorado com pany was a rebate, when as a matter of lact, he said, the rebate was paid. No interest, he stated, suffered by the act of the company. Xobocly con nected with the Atchison system had any interest in the Colorado Fuel and Iron company. AVent Out of Conl Business. Mr. Morawetz said that when the present management of the Atchison road took control of the system it in cluded various coal companies, the stock of which was owned by the original railroad company. The new management decided that the railroad company must go out of the coal busi ness. The Atchison then leased all the coal mines on its system. In 1901 there was a three-cornered arrange ment to which the Atchison, the Colo rado Fuel and Iron company and Phelps, Dodge Co., controlling the El Paso Southern railroad, were parties. Under the terms of tha agree ment the Colorado Fuel and Iron company was to furnish coal at Jl.lij per ton and the Atchison was to haul it for $2.90 per ton, the Atch;son to collect the price of the coal and pay the $1.15 over to the Colorado com pany. The agreement was to last five vears. But in 1902 injunctions were granted re straining the various companies from continuing this business. The com plaint arose over a mistake about the combination of the $4.05, which the road collected, an allegation being made that this did not include the price of coal, and that rebates were being given. No other shipper could be affected, because Phelps, Dodge Co. had to have the coal, which was supplied by the Colo rado company. The whole case arose over a confusion of the cost of coal with the cost of transportation. Denies Standard Oil Rebates. Senator Dolliver asked as to the re port that the Atchison had paid to the Standard Oil company $1,000,00 in re bates in Kansas, Mr. Morawetz said that he felt authorized to deny the statement that any rebate was given by the Atchison to the Standard Oil company. Senator Clapp questioned Mr. Mora wetz relative to the right of congress to delegate authority to fix rates and also about a court of review. Mr. Morawetz said congress could del egate to a commission power to fix a reasonable maximum rate. It was also brought out that a court of appeal could determine what was a reasonable maximum rate. Replying to a question by Senator Carmack, Mr. Morawetz said that in order to prevent discrimination between ports, congress could fix only a maxi mum rate. It could not fix a minimum rate, because that would force a dis crimination against ports and would be in violation of the constitution. Mr. Morawetz said that if railroads were compelled to fix their rates according to distance, three-fourths of the indus tries of the country would be destroyed. "If congress or a commission should prescribe a rate from Chicago to New York of 15 cents, and from Chicago to Baltimore of 12 cents, would that be a violntion of the constitution?" asked Senator Carmack. Santa Fe Saved From Annihilation. "If the shipments were to Liver pool, yes. If to the cities only, no," was the replv. He said congress could not in this case make a minimum rate. In answer to Senator Newlands, Mr. Morawetz said that in several states there were commissions with power to fix rates. At times the Atchison road had suffered from interference, and was saved from annihilation by the United States courts. He said no commission could have the wisdom to fix rates for the entire country. Senator Newlands asked a series of questions to support his contention for the nationalization of railroads. The latter replied that he would pre fer a federal charter for his company to a state charter. Senator Cullom, addressing Senator Newlands, asked: "Are you getting ready to buy all these roads?" "No." replied Mr. Newlands. "I merely want the railroads to take out national charters." During Senator Newlands' inquiries, Mr. Morawetz said that every bond put out by a railroad company in Texas had to be indorsed by the Texas commission. He said that such bonds were not salable, and that there was less railroad building in Texas than THE PEOPLE ALL In Chorus Cried, Give Us Xewbro's Herpicide.

Mr. Morawetz, answering Senator Newlands, said that th? interstate com merce commission could not arbitrate labor disputes, because no arbitration was enforceable. Mr. Morawetz said that figures would show that railroad rates had decreased. Senator Dolliver took issue with this statement, saying that the report of the interstate com merce commission showed that there had been an increase of rates. Mr. Morawetz said that figures would be procured which would show that the commission had made a mistake. Senator Elkins, referring to the. ques tion of preferential rates, asked if con gress conferred power on the commis sion to fix rates, could the commission fix rates which would give a differen tial in favor of Baltimore over New York. Mr. Morawetz said that the com mission could not render such a perfer ence compulsory; it could not prohibit a lower rate; that would violate the constitution. Victor Morawetz declares in his testimony before the senate committee that no interest suffered through the act of the Santa Fe railroad in mak ing the agreement he referred to in the Colorado Fuel Iron case. The Caledonian Coal company at Gallup, N. M., has sued the Santa. Fe railroad for $400,000 damages which it alleges it suffered by virtue of the arrangement. The Caledonian company alleges that the Santa Fe had on file a tariff sheet with the interstate commerce commission showing the rate on the coal between the points in question of $4.0 5; that the rate was in reality $2.90 and that it (the Caledonian company) was forced to pay a $4.05 rate if it wished to do business, as against the $2.90 rate to the Colorado Fuel Iron company, which condi tion made it impossible for the Cale donian company to secure a portion of the business. The president of the Caledonian Coal company was an officer of the Colorado Fuel Iron comnanv for a term of years before he left that com pany to establish a business for him self. BROUGHT TO TIME. Persia Compelled to Settle Claim by Secretary Hay. Washington, April 20 Persia tried the patience of the American government severely last fall, because of her failure to punish the murderers of Rev. Ben jamin W. Labaree, the American mis sionary. Six months after the murder and after Mr. Tyler, the American charge at Teheran had informed the state department that the accomplices in the murder "would not be arrested unless a peremptory message is sent by the president," Secretary Hay sent a vig orous telegram of which the following is the official paraphrase appearing in correspondence made public at the state department today: "Mr. Hay states that the president is very much disturbed over the failure of the Persian government to punish the murderers, of Mr. Labaree. If no immediate satisfaction is given he will be constrained to lay the matter before congress and recommend such action as may lead to a compliance with our demand for effective Justice." This brought promises which were not fulfilled. After receiving- the official as surance of the crown prince of Persia that "six accomplices endeavoring to escape, were killed by the Persian forces and that the remainder of the band is being pursued," Minister Parson tele graphed the department, "That Infor mation has reached him from a reliable source that none of the accomplices in the murder of Mr. Labaree was killed as reported and that he has lodged in dignant remonstrance against the trifl ing and temporizing and requests fur ther Instruction." Secretarv Hav then sent another dis patch of which this is the official para phrase: "Mr. Hav states that the reported failure of the Persian government to punish the murderers of Mr. Labaree is a source of grave concern to the pres ident and that he can not permit our just demands to be trifled with or evad ed any longer. If no satisfactory action Is taken before congress meets, in less than two weeks the president will be con strained to lay the matter before that body and recommend such action as he shall deem necessary." This brought results. A month later a settlement was effected and the widow of Mr Labaree received $30,000 in gold and effective and swift punishment of all guilty persons followed.

A BROTHER OF YANDAAV. Relatives of Deceased Heir to a For tune Are Plentiful. Norfolk, Va., April 20. The latest relative of Thomas Tandaw, deceased, who it recently developed was largely interested in a California fortune of over $1,500,000, is Antoine Tandaw, of 220 Main street, Chicopee Falls, Mass., who says he is a brother of the deceased Norfolk man. The Chicrtpee Falls man is 76 years old, and gives a description of the Thomas Tandaw who was his brother which compares in many particulars to the Thomas Tandaw of Norfolk who died in the Williamsburg asylum. The Massachusetts man says he and his brother were born in Vermont and that Thomas, leaving home early in life, went to California, where he lived for some time before coming to Vir ginia. The brother will seek to re cover the California estate. AA'ill Carry -1.000 Passengers. Belfast, April 20.

D0'T KNOW THE VALUE Members Will Check Up the lie turns Made. lteport of Investment of $14, 000,000 Starts Things. What the Standard Oil company says about it-doesn't see mto go -with the about It doesn't seem to go with the ing on the value of the Standard's pro perty in this state. Before the board makes up its mind what to assess the property of the Prairie Oil and Gas company (the Standard) it will make a trip to Wilson, Montgomery, and other counties where the Standard has large holdings, and see whether $2,15S, 7S5, as returned by the Standard, is a fair valuation of the property of that company in the state. It looks to the members of the board as though two million dollars is a. mighty small figure for the Standard holdings in the state. The claim has been made by some of the agents of the Standard that the company has in vested $14,000,000 in its development of the Kansas field, and if this is the case, there is a slight discrepancy in the Standard's figures. Auditor Seth Wells of Neosho coun ty, is the only member of the board of assessors who knows anything about the oil and gas country, and he says he is not thoroughly posted on the de tails. Consequently the board has no very definite idea about the accuracy of the Standard Oil's estimate on the value of its property. They don't know whether a steel tank farm is worth $171,856, as reported by the Standard, or whether it is worth a million. Wilson county, where the Neodesha refinery is located, gets credit for $1, 19 3,614. It has been claimed that the refinery alone is worth that much; the Standard has a vast amount of property in Wilson county in addition to the refinery. The Standard says its crude oil is worth 23 cents a barrel, and it claims to have about 5,006.000 barrels in storage. If the Standard keeps on re ducing the price of crude oil, it will doubtless get it down to 23 cents a barrel within a short time. Gas Line, Too. W'hile the board is looking over the Standard Oil property it will also take an inspection of the property of the Kansas Natural Gas company, which has by some been accused of beirf; rather closely identified with the Standard; an accusation which it strenuously denies. The Kansas Natural Gas company has reported to the state board that its property is worth only $157,9S0.93. This, it claims, was the state of af fairs on March 1, jif,, ,v,;hlch time the estimate is supposed, to have been made. Of course the property of this concern is now rapidly on the in crease, for it is laying its big 16-inch pipe for the gas mains to the Kansas City and Topeka markets. This large sized pipe costs money, and the next report of the company will doubtless show a big increase. But there is also a suspicion that possibly the com pany has not over estimated any of its holdings in the present report. According to the report, the company now 'has about 280 miles of pipe line for gas in the state of Kansas. This in cludes big, middle sized and small pipe. Of course a good share of the pipe is of small size, and is in use merely for laterals in the cities of Independence and other gas towns. The company reports ownership of 13! gas wells and 22 oil wells. Of its gas wells 111 are in Montgomery county, the rest in Neosho county. It has quite a number of tanks for oil, and considera ble oil in storage. But of course its chief business of selling oil.

FUSS OVER COUNTY PRINTING. Great Bend Editors Quarrel in Su preme Court. It is up to the supreme court to thrash out a newspaper row from Great Bend. W. E. Stoke and W. P.'Feder, editors of the Barton County Democrat, are charged with entering into a contract with the county commissioners of Bar- i ton county to publish the personal property assessments of the county in their paper for the sum of $180. The Democrat was the official county paper, but it was claimed that the law did not provide for such publication as the county commissioners proposed to do. The matter was brought to a focus by the" action of the county attorney, ac tion in the name of Attorney General Coleman, asking the district court for an injunction to prevent the county commissioners and county treasurer from paying- to the Democrat the $180 for the publication of the list. It is alleged in the Democrat's defense that this suit was inspired by Ira H. Clark, editor of the Great Bend Register. The publishers of the Democrat set up as their defense that the publication of the personal property assessment had in Y7 J KLjJ Li ever feel the exquisite thrill of motherhood with indescribable dread and fear.

"Dear Sir My attention has just been called to a statement appearing In the Kansas City Times of the 18th Inst., attributed to Mr. J. D. Buckalew, third vice president of the Interna tional Association of Machinists, which indicates that he is creating the im pression that unless the present strike of the boilermakers on your road is adjusted to the satisfaction of the strikers, the carmen will also partici pate in the strike. "While I believe the statement to have been made for effect onlv, I do not wish to attack the other "organ izations, but I consider it my duty to a-ssure you in the most positive man ner that so far as the Brotherhood of Hallway Carmen of America io con cerned, there is no truth in such a etatement. I consider it an injustice to this organization to allow such statements to be seen bv yourself Without protesting, hence this letter. "We have a large membership of your lines, and I am proud to say the eame is loyal to the principles of the organization, and as the chief officer of the Brotherhood, I take pleasure in calling your attention to the enclosed constitution and especially section 9 of article XV, page 24, and assuring you that this section will be adhered to officially. "While I do not desire to publicly antagonize any of the other brother hoods. I take this method of advising you that impressions created by the statements above referred to, hav; not the sanction of our Brotherhood, and you are at liberty of quoting con tents of this letter should it become necessary to do so. "Sincerely yours, "FRANK L. ROXEMtS. "Grand Chief Carman." The rules of the order provide for a regular course of action if any mem ber has a grievance, and article 9, re ferred to in the letter above quoted says: "Any member or members violating this article, without first obtaining consent of grand lodge, shall be ex pelled." As announced in the State Journal heretofore the president of the Black smiths' union has also assured General Manager H. U. Mudge that the black smiths do not contemplate and in fact positively refuse to join in the strike movement inaugurated a year ago by the machinists. Frank Sillex, president of the local Blacksmiths' union, has announced that newut make an official statement with in a few days that the union black-' smiths in the employ of the Santa Fe will under no circumstances go out on a strike in sympathy with the boiler makers or machinists. His authority for the statement will come from the grand officers of the lodge. From these indications it would seem that J. D. Buckalew will be unable to back up the statements which he au thorized in Topeka this week. It is also evident that the best of feeling does not prevail between the boilermaker leaders and Mr. Buckalew for the machinists. The boilermakers are willing, it ap pears to go back to work for the Santa Fe if they can patch up their differ ences regardless of the troubles of the machinists. Mr. Kyler states that the boilermakers have offered to go back to work on the Santa Fe coast lines on the same basis that they had before the strike, and such a move would .lso end the trouble on the east end. The officials of the Santa Fe continue to regard the matter not in the light of a strike but simply that the men have quit good jobs and that they are in the same position as any other men not employed by the Santa Fe whether they had ever vorked for the company or not. The officials of the company appear to feel that there is nothing to arbitrate or to hold a conference over. The offi cials announce that as many workmen as are needed have been employed and that the work is being handled satis factorily, and that there will be no trou ble in hiring more men if they are need ed at any future time. The strike situation is quiet today. Ko reports of violence have been re ceived in Toneka. The indications are that considerably less than 200 of the 1,000 men emnloved in the boilermaking department of the Santa t e shops have quit work. It is not claimed that there are any changes in regard to the machinists' strike. Apparently the machinists are no nearer the settlement which they de manded than they were a year ago at the time the strike was called. OX PERJIRY CHARGE. Former Yazoo, Miss., Postmaster Is Indicted. St. Louis, Mo., April 20. After an in vestigation undertaken at the wish of President Roosevelt, M. L. Reddock, former postmaster at Yazoo City, Miss., has been indicted by the federal grand jury here on a perjury charge. It is stated that the indictment grew out of a letter written by Reddock to the ;ires ident in which It was charged that a congressman of North Car olina, had accepted a sum of money to procure the release of a prisoner from the Nashville. Tenn.. federal prison. President Roosevelt ordered the post office department to investigate the charges and action of Reddock. The investigation has resulted in the indict ment of Reddock. FIGHT THE SEWER. Sixth Ward People Dissatisfied With Assessment Hire a Lawyer. GEN. BELL'S REPORT. Suggests That Leavenworth and Riley Be Under One Head. Property owners living in the Sixth word are objecting to the assessment which has been levied against them for the construction of the Sixth ward sewer. They claim that the assess ment is entirely too high and that the appraisement upon which the assess ments are based is faulty in several instances. They have retained Judge Z. T. Hazen to represent them ana will air their grievance in the district j court in a suit which will be brought against the city to set aside the as sessment. Petitions have been cir culating about in the Sixth ward for the past week remonstrating against the work of the appraisers and asking that the city council take some re visonary action. The petitions were to have been presented to the meeting of the council Monday evening and the interested property owners were to have attended the council meeting in a body but the plans miscarried and the only objection which was raised on the part of a property own er at that time was that of Eugene Wrare, who stated that he was already connected on to the Potwin sewer and did not think that he should be com pelled to pay for the cost of the con struction of the new sewer though he was in the district which is liable for the cost of the construction of the new sewer. The objection of Mr. Ware was referred to the council committee on sewers wher a con sideration of the matter will be granted. A protest similar to that of Mr. Ware's is now being raised by Christ hospital which owns a tract of four blocks almost in the heart of the ward. Christ hospital is connected through the means of a private sewer with a sewer of the city's near Lin coln street and Eighth avenue. The officers of the hospital association state that they were put to consider able expense in constructing the pri vate sewer and that it fully meets their requirements and that to tax them with several thousand dollars for the construction of the ward sew er for which they have no need is un just. It is hardly probable that the two latter objections will be consid ered gobd by the city council. Similar objections have been filed with the council in past years and they have never been held sufficient to absolve the parties from their just proportion of taxes. READY FOR THE JURY. The Doyle-Burns Mining Suit Is Near Ing the End. Council Bluffs, la., April 20. John N. Baldwin has concluded a two days' argument for the plaintiff in the Doyle-Burns mining trial, and after a brief summing up by that attorney the case will go to the jury. A verdict is expected by this evening. The trial has lasted about six weeks and both sides have brought many witnesses from Colorado to testify. At the first trial Doyle was given a verdict for nearly half a million dollars against James Burns, from whom he sought a settlement of several valua ble claims which are now part of the Portland Mining company's property. The original suit was for nearly a mil lion dollars. The Iowa supreme court ordered a new trial, which is the one just now closing.

MORE NEW OIL COMPANIES. Four Are Granted Charters by the State Board. In spite of the difficulties in the oil fields, the organization of new oil con cerns does not seem to be discouraged very materially. Four new oil con cerns were granted charters by the charter board on Wednesday afternoon. One of the new corporations has Topeka for its headquarters. The name is the Jubilee Oil and Gas com pany, and the capital stock is $250, 000. The names of the incorporators are P. C. Chamberlain and D. W. Nel- lis, Topeka; I. M. Mahin, F. W. Ma hin, D. B. Dyer, Henry Williams, J. H. Detwiler and John Mollison. Smith Center; M. B. Hitchcock, Sabetha; W. H. Haskell, Gaylord; F. J. Sieck, Lin coln; R. S. Patty, Independence: L. W. Linton, Lebanon; Peter Pyle, Ken sington; Henry Otterman, Athol. Fleishman Co.. of Cincinnati, asked for the right to do business in the state, and the application was re fused because the Fleishman com pany, among other things, deals in whisky. Other charters granted were as fol lows: Fairview Oil and Gas company, Pa ola; capital. $10,000. Dexter Vitrified Brick company, Dexter; $25,000. Dumm Mercantile company, Em poria; $15,000. Frank May Oil company, Coffey ville: $26,000. State Bank of Girard, Girard; $30, 000. Graham Mill and Elevator com pany. Hill City; $30,000. Coldwater Telephone company, Coldwater; $1,500.

Superior Refining company, Supe rior; $15,000. Fort Leavenworth, Kan., April 20. The annual reports of Brigadier Gen eral J. Franklin Bell, commandant, and the other officers in charge of in struction in the infantry and cavalry school and staff college here are ready for distribution. The reports are devo ted largely to the treatment of subjects on technical military education and make up a pamphlet of 148 pages. 'Che pamphlet contains several interesting letters written more than a year ago by General Bell to the president of the war college board in Washington stat ing General Bell's views and making suggestions as to the organization of the college and the plan of military education to be taught here. General Bell recommended the estab lishment of a separate military depart ment to embrace the posts of Fort Leavenworth and Fort Riley, to be known as the department of Kansas. He says: The desirability of dignifying the institution suggests the propriety of having it under the personal super vision of at least a brigadier general. If Fort Leavenworth be continued as a part of the department of the Mis souri, exigencies of the service might bring about a condition presenting the anomaly of having a general in command of the college and post who ranks the general in command of the department, and the dignity of the po sition, instead of being exalted as it should be, would be correspondingly lowered. If, instead of limiting the depart-, ment to Fort Leavenworth alone, it should include Fort Riley also, the two posts constituting the department of Kansas, the officer charged with the duty of commanding the depart ment and of commandant of this col lege could be given general super vision of the instruction at the cavalry and light artillery school as well. This would facilitate the regulation of the affairs of the two schools and the two garrisons so as to combine them very happily in practical work. The en tire subject of instruction, as well as administration, pertaining to both posts and schools, could then be su pervised by the same superior author ities, the war college board or the general staff, as is best it should be. A Course of Study. General Bell is strongly in favor of two years' course for student offi cers. He says among other things on this subject: The school course should cover two years as heretofore, instead of one as during the past year. Though last year's course was a reduction of that formerly followed in this institution, it nevertheless remained more than was ever crowded into the period of one year before. Of course, some thing had to suffer .and results have demonstrated that the most important part of the instructon namely, the practical part was that which suffer ed the most. It was found necessary to reduce the number of practical ex ercises it had always been customary to have. In my opinion it has never been practicable to have as many as are desirable, but as the theoretical part of the course was expressly spec ified by orders in amount and kind, and the practical part not so fully specified, it naturally happened that in attempting to follow the course as prescribed the practical work not ex pressly specified was preferably left out or curtailed. It was found im practicable to cover some of that which was expressly specified because of a lack of time. The Tveavenworth Reservation. Lieutenant Colonel W. w. Wother spoon, chief instructor in the depart ment of tactics, calls attention in his report to the lack of area available for field exercises in tactical operations with troops. Colonel Wotherspoon says that the Fort Leavenworth military reserva tion consists of 6.989 acres of land, of which 939 acres are in timber reserve, on the east or Missouri side of the river, 2,635 acres assigned to the United States penitentiaries, 15 acres to the national cemetery, 18 acres to water in Merritt lake, 329 acres to building area and pa rade grounds. 62 acres to target ranges and camp, 174 acres swamp land and 1,397 acres to heavy timber and under brush, leaving only 1,420 acres of open land, part of which is in patches and along a creek, and that there is only 1,040 acres available for tactical purposes.

Livingston, Mont., April 20 Word has been received from Aldrich that a set tlement has been reached between the Montana Coal Coke company and its employes. The men had been on a strike since last August. Members of the union deny that a settlement has been reached, though they admit that the strike probably will be spttled within ten days.

Growing out of the opposition of the wholesale merchants of Chicago to the present bankruptcy law, the organization of a "Co-operative Adjustment Association" has received its first Impetus at a meeting of the Credit Men's association. A resolution was adopted directing President Mc Adow to appoint a committee to inves tigate the matter and report at a later meeting. This adjustment association is to be formed principally for the purpose of settling insolvent estates. In the lang uage of those who urged the plan the formation of such an organization will go far toward doing away with the "evils of bankruptcy proeeedings.where- in nearly all the assets are swallowed up in the fees of attorneys, referees and trustees." The plan advocated provides for the organization of a central bureau man aged by a salaried man, with two or three attorneys and office assistants. Alliance with other associations also is contemplated, making it national in scope. ,tS6Y OCO09 ..-4iii.i i.ilVitVWall ViW ,CY OOOD9 bU-WS BAH.

They declined, except in a gen eral way, to make public the result of the vote until they should have an op portunity to report to the congress, but it is understood that Mrs. Lippitt received the lowest number of votes The result of the first ballot for president general was announced later as follows: Mrs. McLean, 342; Mrs. Sternberg, 201; Mrs. Lippit, 154.

"I don't think that I shall be in it longer than this year. Had a nan told me in 1904 that I would still be behind goggles at this time this year, I should, have pronounced him crazy." "In speaking of the sport being dangerous, what do you mean?" was asked of him. "We have to take chances." was the reply. "It always seems that an acci dent is impending. We never know what will happen. If a man is just right, the element of danger is to a big extent eliminated. But with nerves a little off, with weather conditions so that the dust absolutely precludes vision, you can never tell when the call will come." "Driving must be hard on a man, then "No, it isn't exactly," was the reply. "As I said, if you fee! all right and make your turns, everything is love ly. But men get off sometimes, you know." "Docs the tremendous speed through the air check your breath ing?" "No, that is all newspaper talk." was the answer. "It does not affect a man's breathing in the least. I don't know how the talk got started that fast riding shuts off your breath ing apparatus. That is not the case at all. I never had any trouble in get ing all the air I wanted. That was the least of my difficulties." But then," he continued, "driving i nara day after day, without any rest will do a man up. Proper rest must be taken between fast drives. That is wnat caused my accident at St. Louis last summer at the World's fair in August. I had been either driving, or on the train for two weeks before that time, going as hard as I could to meet engagements. When I ran for the Louisiana Purchase trophy at the World's fair citv T ertf- ni.ml but in attempting to turn Webb, an-1 other driver, the dust lifted, my nerves left me, and I went through the fence I on the side of the track. Two spec- tators were killed outright, and I wenti to the hospital with a crushed chest, and lay for two days between life and death. While the dust was in a great measure responsible for the mishap, I attribute most of it to my nervous ness from meeting to many race en gagements in the weeks just pre vious." "Does driving break a man down?" "Yes I imagine it would in time." he replied. "It gets on a man's nerves. That is about all that I can sav on that score." While at the first glance It would appear that Mr. Oldfteld is not suffering much physically, yet closer scrutiny reveals a quick "nerv ous action on the part of the man. j both in his bearing and his talk. His face has deep lines, which become so marked while driving, that "Barney I Oldfield's automobile face at two miles a minute" has become famous. Rob ert Kdgren's cartoon on the subject in the New York American, is used by Oldfleld as a window advertisement in fcis present tour. "So you propose to quit the sport?" was asked. "Yes," he answered, "I do not think that I shall be in it longer than this year. I want to save up my money and get a little ahead and go into some business for myself. I can do that by the end of the year if everything goes ail right. It is too dangerous." Oldtield is a good dresser. He likes diamonds evidently. His F.Iks' button in the lapel of his coat is framed with the precious stones. A large triangu lar sparkler flashes from his necktie. His fingers have the same kind of ornamentation. Oldfield carries three men with him to look after the business end of his trip, and a machinist to care for his cars. Probably a better bunch o story tellers never traveled together in one squad. "Their jokes are the bane of my life," says Barney. Kid McCoy, the famous prize fighter, is a great New York, April 20. The three lawyers who are acting aa counsel for Nan Patterson, in her trial for the murder of Caesar Young, had a con ference with her in the Tombs prison today at which the plans of the de fense and the personnel of the jury were discussed,. Lawyers Abraham Levy. Henry W. Unger and Daniel O'Reilly were present. Miss Patterson expressed her pleasure at the compo sition of the jury, which was com pleted yesterday and disappointment at the delay in postponing the taking of testimony until Monday. "I am sure of an acquittal this time," she told Lawyer Levy, "and every day only adds to my misery in the tombs. Ten months and three weeks is a long time to be shut up in prison." Lawyer Levy said today: "We have new witnesses, who will establish Nan Patterson's innocence beyond a doubt. We go into this trial 100 per cent stronger in point of evidence than we did the last trial. We are not going to rely upon the failure of the prose cution to prove its case for an ac quittal. We are going to prove the innocence of Nan Patterson." A YEAR'S LEAVE. California Professor Will Collect Rare Plants Abroad. Berkley, Cal., April 20. Prof. Wil lis L. Jepson, of the botanical depart ment of the University of California, who has been granted a year's leave of absence by the board of regents, will spend the whole of the time in travel abroad in Europe and the tropics, gathering material for the bo tanical museum at Berkley. The most interesting feature of his visit in the British isles is the gathering of Cali fornia plants which are now extinct here. In the early days of European oc cupation of this continent explorers collected rare specimens of plants now out of existence here. These are noy to be found in the museums of Lon don and Dublin and at the Kew gar dens, where specimens wiil be secured by Prof Jepson. UNIOri WITH GREECE.

In an interview he said, with reference to the appeal made to him by the labor interests of Porto Rico: "The American Federation of Labor will render every assistance within its power to the Porto Rican workmen in this struggle to attain the improve ment in their conditions, which I know by personal investigation on the island last year to be so necessary.

A perusal of the city ordinances would reveal something new to a num ber of the city officers as well as to the public at large. A great percentage of the ordinances which are enacted are forgotten and lost sight of, once they are placed between the covers of the ordinance dook. only as occasions arise, is the notice focused on the fact that such an ordinance does really ex ist and is ignorantly being violated. Some of the ordinances are of small moment, others again are of sufficient importance to demand enforcement. The city possesses in its ordinance book a law prohibiting the placing of barbed wire or other sharp iron points on railings, poles or posts. The council had its attention brought to this ordin ance Monday when an application was made to erect a barbed wire fence around a tract of vacant ground with in the city's limits. The application was rejected as being in conflict with the provisions of the ordinance. There are several barbwire fences within a short radius of six blocks of Kansas avenue. This sounds as if To peka was a village surrounded by cow pastures. But the barbwire fences in question for the most part surround empty lots. One exception exists, how ever, with respect to a large yard at tached to one of the show residences in the city. The owner has seen fit to mount a three- strand barbwire fence on top of his regular iron fence. These are only citations of cases existing close to the heart of the city. Further out towards the western and south western portions there are a number of fences in violation to the law. Most of these fences are of course not of recent construction but for that reason rep resent a phase of the situation which makes it all the more imperative to in sist upon compliance with the sections of the ordinance. The enforcement of the ordinance cannot be insisted upon immediately, the changes will have to be worked out but in the main, compliance with the ordinance can be obtained after atten tion is brought to it and a sufficient length of time has elapsed to allow for a substitution. Th" ordinance is a good one and the motive back of it is perfectly sensible. As long as it is on the ordinance book it should justify enforcement. One Way Rates.
