V I LAST EDITION. BAD W CARR. Call Handler Suyak Says He Bode West With Bailey. Identified the Prisoner as Lear 1 ing: K. C. With Messenger. PLAN OTHER CHIMES. Suggested to J. G. Dehoney Once That They Bob the Santa Fe. Damaging Evidence Shown at the Marion Preliminary. fFIIl Probably Be Bound Over to the May Court. Marlon,. Kan-. April 9. Eight wlt Bmwi were examlntd this forenoon by th state In the preliminary hearing of IWlIllara T. Carr charged with the mur der of Erpres Messenger Oscar A. Bailey. They were mostly employes of the Santa Fe company and the Wells Fargo at Newton. Their evidence cor roborated those that were on the stand on Wednesday afternoon and made the case look pretty serious for Carr. It is safe to predict that the Justice Will bind Carr over this afternoon for trial at the May term of the district court of Marion county. Marion, Kan., April 9. Identifica tion of William T. Carr as the man Been at Kansas City with Oscar A. Bailey In the car where the body of the murdered messenger was found at Newton on Sunday morning, March 29, was one of the sensational links forged In the chain of circumstantial evidence being woven about Carr at his hearing on the charges of murder ing Bailey and robbing the car. Little less sensational was the sworn state ment that Carr, as early as February 1, suggested the commission of a similar crime. The state Is represented by Sam Burkholder, county attorney of Marion county, and W. H. Carpenter, while D. W. Wheeler Is attorney for Carr. The large court room was packed today with people, many farmers coming from miles around. Carr's parents, his wife and his Infant child sat with him during the trial, and much of the time Carr held the baby on his lap and played with It. During the early part of the trial he laughed and Joked, but as the hearing progressed he became more serious. The defense Introduced ho evidence 1 Wednesday, contenting Itself with examining the state's witnesses. No indication was given to the probable line of defense. The state introduced its evidence In a logical sequence. Walter A. Stlmmel, night express agent at New ton, told of finding Bailey's dead body in the car when it reached Newton. Dr. F. L. Abbey, coroner of Harvey county, and A. J. Duff, undertaker, told of the wounds on the body. Mrs. Anna Bailey, wife of the mur dered man, and Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Shoemaker, her parents, identified the bloody hatchet found near Wagoner as the one that Mr. Shoemaker had fitted with a new handle for Bailey the morning before he, went on his run, March 28. E. Li. Myers, an express messenger on the Santa Fe, testified that he was accosted on the Union depot platform Thursday evening, March 26, by Carr, who asked what night Bailey went out on his run. t F. L. Davidson and J. J. Suyak, mail handlers in the Union depot, Kansas City, testified to having seen another man in the car with Bailey when train No. 115 left that city. Suyak identified Carr as the man he saw. J. CI. Dehoney, a former employe of tne weiis-rargo company, who stated that Carr approached him in New ton. February 1. 1908. and suggested that they rob Santa Fe trains 17 or 18 near Newton, bind and gag the messenger ana rine tne safe. He said the Job could easily be done, and urged Dehoney to attempt it with him. Dehoney said Carr also asked him to get for him a safe dial, by means or wnicn an express safe could ibe opened. Dehoney's testimony created a Dig stir in tne court room. H. C. Spratt and J. A. Cummings, police officers of Newton, testified to having seen Carr after the robbery hanging around the billiard hall in which the stolen property was found. Carr's father-in-law, W. C. Simmons, who owns the billiard hall in which the stolen property was recovered, tes tified to having seen Carr carry into the hall and place in a closet a package resembling that in which the overcoat containing the stolen jewelry was found. Simmons stated that Carr re turned from a two-weeks stay in Kan sas City some time Sunday morning before daylight, but he could not tell at what hour. Under Sheriff A. R. Ainsworth of Harvey county testified to having con ducted the search that resulted in the finding of the stolen property and iden tified the overcoat and the cigar box in which the Jewelry and the money were round. The state introduced a score of Kan- las City and Topeka express employes to trace from tne consignor until de livered to Messenger Bailey in his car. two packages, one containing $1,000 and the other 19. that were stolen from the safe. E. N. Stevens, assistant superintend ent of the Wells-Fargo company, gave a history of Carr's work with that company, covering In all about three years. He claimed that Carr under stood the express business thoroughly He also stated that the person robbing the safe was familiar with the express business, as he took only the kind of packages that contained valuable Jewelry or money, opening only eleven of tne iorcy-two packages in me sate. Stevens also stated that Carr called on him In Kansas City March 26 and asked for reinstatement in the service, which was denied him.

Crayon Worker Is Recognized by the National Academy. New York, April 9. George David son, 19 years old, who works over dra peries and clothes for crayon enlarge ments by day and studies real art by night, has won the honor of having a painting hung In the spring exhibition of the National Academy of Design. Davidson is a native of Russian Poland. He was brought to this coun try 10 years ago, when his parents left their old home and went to live in Waterbury, Conn. The father was a day laborer. When a child Davidson believed he would one day become an artist, and after much difficulty he obtained a position In an establishment in Third avenue, where repoductions In crayon of family photographs are turned out In wholesale quantities. He bought a bust of Apollo, of which he made charcoal drawings, and two years ago was admitted to the night classes of the National Academy of Design. The little canvas he sent to the academy is named "Evening Shadows." The painting is only 8 by 10 inches. FIVE WERE KILLED. Train Hits a Carriage That Was Re turning From a Funeral. Chicago, April 9. Four women oc cupants of a carriage were instantly killed and the driver fatally injured when the vehicle was struck by an electric train on the Chicago, Elgin Aurora railroad, near Maywood, a western suburb of Chicago. The car riage was one of a number that were returning from a funeral. The driver died a few hours later at a hospital, to which he had been taken. The Dead. MRS. F. ROHLOFF, 65 years old. MRS. PAUL ROHLOFF, 29 years of age; daughter-in-law of Mrs. F. Rohloff. MRS. CHARLES DRESSEL. MRS. MINNIE POTTHOFF, 35 years old. FRANK NEWMAN. All were residents of Chicago. The carriage was cut in two and the rear portion was carried several hundred feet along the tracks before the train could be stopped. The train proceeded after the accident and the first notice of the occurrence was received from Wheaton, several miles further west, when an ofhcial of the railroad com pany telephoned to Maywood, asking that ambulances be sent to the scene. When the undertakers arrived the occupants of the other carriages were caring for. Newman and endeavoring to extricate tne mangled oodles irom the wrecked carriage. Mrs. F. Rohloff. another daughter-in-law of Mrs. F. Kohlonr, who was in one of the car riages, fainted at sight of the bodies and narrowly escaped death through tailing upon the charged third rail. The wrecked carriage was the second in the line one having already crossed the tracks. The driver is thought to have driven onto the right of way In the- belief that he' had -time" tfl -cross. since the train was plainly visible from tne point where the accident occurred. NEVER HAD A JOB. Men Who Marched on Chicago City nan Are jsuigaiian immigrants. Chicago, April 9. A football player of the University of Chicago is chief of the hungry Bulgarians who march ed on the city hall yesterday. Investi gation reveals that Ivan Doseff, a graduate of the university, is the in stigator of the plan to march on the city hail. Doseft, who is a Bulgarian and last year played left tackle on the Chicago football eleven, says he sent the mob to the city hall, in order to call public attention to the distressing conaition or nis countrymen. None of the other Bulgarians has been in the United States more than six months and in that time not one of them has had a job. Doseft said their little stock of money now is gone and the immigrants are on the verge oi starvation. After the mob's fruitless march, Doseff went to the county agent's of fice and begged that something be done. Assistant County Agent Victor Toung promised to send a quantity of provis ions and endeavor to provide other wise for the distressed Bulgarians, who are several hundred in number. Doseff said irresponsible Bulgarian employment agents and steamship ticket agents, are responsible for bring ing the men over from the old country. More than 90 per cent of the men have wives ana children, dependent upon them in Bulgaria. Several of them mortgaged their small properties to get money for their passage. Doseff said he will visit the immigra tion offices today to see if some of the men can De sent back to their homes in Bulgaria. TO WORK UP TRADE.

Evans left this morning for Paso Robles where they will Join Rear Admiral Evans at the hot springs- HIS SHORTEST. The President Transmits a Message to Congress Asking That Body to Legislate Against Anarchists. IN THE MEAN TIME He Says He Will Do What He Can Toward Suppression. With the Document Goes a Re port by Gen. Bonaparte. Washington, April 9. In one of the shortest messages which he has yet transmitted to congress. Presi dent Roosevelt today called the at tention of that body to the necessity for further legislation on the subject of anarchy. With the message he transmitted a report reviewing the legal phases of the questions by At torney General Bonaparte. The president says: "When compared with the sup pression of anarchy every other ques tion sinks into insignificance. The anarchist is the enemy of humanity, the enemy of all mankind and his is a deeper degree of criminality than any other. No paper published here or abroad should be permitted cir culation in this country if it propa gates anarchistic opinions." Besides his direction to the post master general to exclude from the mails such publications as "La Questione Sociale," President Roose velt in a letter to Attorney General Bonaparte asking for an opinion on the legal phases of the subject, says he has had that particular case called to the attention of the governor of New Jersey by Secretary Root, that the governor may proceed under the state laws. The opinion of the attorney gen eral, which the president transmits to congress, embraces a' discussion of the whole subject from many legal angles. His first conclusion Is that the article In question which advo cates the use of arms and dynamite in annihilating police and soldiers that anarchy may prevail, constitutes a "seditious libel" and is undoubtedly a crime at common law. 1 He declares that there Is no federal statute which makes such publica tions an offense against the United States and that the federal courts consequently have no Jurisdiction in the matter. That there is full power In the possession of congress to make such' publications criminal, the at torney general asserts, and quotes Chief Justice Fuller of the supreme court and Mr. Justice Field, as authority. The message follows: The Message. "To the Senate and House of Repre sentatives: "I herewith submit a letter from the department of Justice, which ex plains itself. Under this opinion, I hold that existing statutes give the president the power to prohibit the postmaster general from being used as an instrument in the commission of crime: that is, to prohibit the use of the mails for the advocacy of murder, arson and treason; and I shall act upon such construction. Un questionably however there should be further legislation by congress in this matter. When compared with suppression of anarchy, every other question sinks Into Insignificance. The anarchist Is the enemy of hu manity, the enemy of all mankind and his Is a deeper degree of criminality than any other. No Immi grant is allowed to come to our shores if he Is an anarchist; and no paper published here or abroad should be permitted circulated in this coun try if it propagates anarchistic opinions.

Albany. N. T., April 9. The vote of Senator Owen Cassidy of Schuyler, Republican, late yesterday caused a tie vote of 25 to 25 and defeated for the miie ai least, tne two Agnew-Hart bills embodying the recommendation of Governor Hughes that the legal pro tection be abolished which since 1895 has nrntpr-t.H ntih!l o-amiin tracks, whereas it Is a felony elsewhere IN AN AUTO ACCIDENT.

Governor Hughes Sends a Spe cial Message to legislature. Again Urging the Passage of an Anti-Ganibiing Bill. WILL CALL AN EXTRA Unless He Gets What He Wants at This Session. He Declares That the Constitu tion Must Be Upheld. Albany, N. T., April 9. Following the failure of the senate last night to pass the anti-race track gambling bills Gov ernor Hughes today sent to the legis lature a message renewing his recom mendation for the; enactment of this legislation and asked for the enact ment of eight other propositions now pending Derore the legislature. Governor Hughes probably will call an extra session fo May 11. It is also expected a special election will be or dered for the choice of a successor to Senator FranchotRepublIcan, of the Niagara-Ontario district, who died re cently. In his message today Governor Hughes' recommendations included: The passage of appropriate legisla tion to prevent the present socalled discrimination of the Perry Gray law, which practically legalizes gambling on race tracks. ;1 Legislation to reform' banking meth ods. Direct primary, nominating elections. Legislation which will place tele phone and telegraph companies under the jurisdiction of the public service corporation. The passage of bills which will facili tate the construction .of subways in New York city. The governor also urges investiga tion by commission- FirstWall street speculation. Second The question; of immigration. Third The question of the unem ployed in this state; and. Fourth The relation of the inferior courts to certain criminal procedure. Wltat the Governor Says. Relative to the Hart-Agnew bills, the governor in his message says: "1 again urge you to enact appropri ate legislation to abolish the existing discriminations in favor of race track gambling. "The failure of the upper branch of your honorable body to pass the meas ures designed to effect this purpose af ter their passage- in the lower branch can not be regarded -.as disposing of the matter. The constitution, with its peremptory mandate, still stands. "The evil of race track gambling flourishes not in spite of the. law, but because of the law. Legislation pre tending to carry out the constitutional provision In effect nullifies it. You are not asked to accomplish the impossi ble or to write upon the statute books a visionary scheme of moral reform. You are asked to rid our law of a vicious discrimination whereby offenses equally condemned by the constitution are punished as crimes if committed in one place and are encouraged Dy the absence of suitable penalty if com mitted in another. "Chapter 370 of the laws of 1895, known as the Percy-Gray law pre tends in Its provisions with regard to authorized race tracks to prohibit gambling. This pretense runs through the act. But it cheats the prohibi tion by providing that the only penalty if no memorandum or token of the wagers be delivered shall be liability to a civil suit for the money lost. "If ever it was supposed that this was an appropriate law to prevent the offenses mentioned in the con stitution no one now cherishes the illusion. It is a mockery of prohlbl tion, and pool selling and bookmaking flourish at the race tracks as though they were legally authorized. Not only is this the result, but the en forcement of the law elsewhere Is embarrassed by these undemocratic discriminations. Plain Duty of Legislature. "It is not a question for the legis lature whether this vice should be permitted or regulated. Under the constitution the legislature has no right to permit it or to regulate It. The people have spoken upon that question. You are asked to make existing prohibitions effective. "Instead of virtually protecting pool selling and bookmaking upon the race tracks instead of favoring them and subjecting them to an inadequate penalty the law can and should effectively prohibit them by imposing penalties similar to those which are visited upon Identical offenses else where. "The demoralizing influences and the menace to the welfare of the state which are involved in the continuance of this evil are obvious. Still more Important Is the necessity of vindicat ing the fundamental law of the land and of demonstrating that this is a state where law and order prevail and where no Interest Is powerful enough to keep on the statute books deceit ful provisions whereby prohibition becomes profitable and a favored class of law breakers are afforded substantial immunity. "Respect for law is the security of our government and the guarantees of the rights of liberty and will not long avail if the people are taught to view the constitution with contempt. I therefore urge you to discharge a manifest duty and to end the dis crimination In favor of race track gambling which cupidity inspired and now seeks to maintain." Governor Hughes recommends the creation of a commission, the mem bers of which shall give their services without pay to inquire into the "facts relating to speculation in securities and commodities" with the view to ascertaining the manner in which illegitimate transactions may be pre vented and legitimate business safe guarded.

NO BAILFOR TIIEf.1 Supreme Court Upholds Judge Smart in Mnrder Case. Abolition of Death Penalty Did Not Change Bill of Bights. STILL FIRST DEGREE It Is Yet Recognized and Isn't Bailable. Trouble With Franklin County Sheriff Ironed Out. When the Kansas legislature, by statute abolished the death penalty for murder in the first degree, it did not thereby in any way modify the old in terpretation of paragraph 91 of the bill of rights which says: "All persons sha'll be bailable by sufficient sureties except for capital offenses where the proof is evident or the presumption great." In other words, the abolition of the death penalty did not change the classi fication of first degree murder as a "capital offense." This decision was rendered by the court late Wednesday afternoon, as a special opinion denying a writ of habeas corpus to Frank Schneck and Mollie Stewart, who are in the Franklin coun- i ty jail charged with the murder of! Schneck's wife and two children on I February 4, 1907. The attorneys for the petitioners claimed that since the death .penalty had been abolished, all offenses in Kan sas are bailable, and the Judge Smart of Franklin county had no right to re fuse to admit the Detitioners to bail. The supreme court sustains Judge smart. During the argument of the case Wednesday afternoon, there were sev eral hot passages between the attor neys. It was charged by attorneys for the petitioners that Sheriff Cody had refused to allow the attorneys to confer with Schneck and Mollie Stew art about their defense. This was de nied by the county attorney. Chief Justice Johnston intervened and ironed out the' difficulty by saying that what ever difficult of that kind there had been in the past would not be allowed to occur in the future. Justice Clark A. Smith who wrote the preliminary opinion, said: "The court holds that the penalty of the crime charged was incurred when the crime was committed. Section 8070, general statutes, 1901, provides that the repeal of a statute shall not affect any penalty incurred before the repeal. Therefore the repeal of the law pro viding for the capital punishment of persons convicted of murder in the first degree does not affect the char acter of the crime, charged In the in formation or the character of the pun ishment to be imposed in case of con viction. "The court win not Investigate the question of whether the proof is evi dent or the presumption great because the case is already set for trial at a term of court now In session. There fore the petitioner Is remanded. A for mal opinion will be filed later." "TO SAVE TIME" Congressman Williams Continues to Call for the Yeas and Nays. Washington, April 9. A motion by Mr. Sherman (N. Y.) in the house to day to recommit the Indian appropria tion bill to conference started the daily monotony of divisions and roll calls. Mr. Williams, the minority leader, was on hand with his usual demand for the nays and yeas, which he facetiously remarked was made with the view of saving time. Leader Payne of the majority, challenged that assertion and at the same time made the point of no quorum. Against that motion Mr. Williams protested, saying the point was dilatory. Speaker Can non, hoewver, ruled that "the point of no quorum will get a more speedy action." "Oh," drawled Mr. Williams, "I e-uess that's so. The roll was called and the bill was returned to conference, 250 to 3, tne Democrats all voting with the Repub licans to that end. The reason for re turning the bill to the conferees was that Important changes were necessary in the provisions for the payment of the attorneys of the "five civilized tribes" for services performed in the preparation of their citizenship rolls. The provision was so altered as to make it general ana to exiena it oe vnnn the limits fixed by either house There will now be an effort to have it restricted. OCEAN TRAVEL HEAVY. Number Carried Larger Than at Same Period Last Year. New York. April 9. Another record breaking year for ocean travel is pos sible if present prospects continue. While steamship agents at the begin ning of the year were dubious of the outlook their attitude during the last few weeks has changed and they themselves were greatly surprised when the statistics for the first three months of the year were computed last week. Instead of the cabin passenger traf fic eastward having decreased by thou sands, as many persons had supposed, the figures show a decrease of only 365 from last year in the first cabins, while the number of second cabin pas sengers, traveling in that direction was 5 229 greater than last year. "The travel for the week ending last Saturday was a record-breaker for this time of the year, for the various steamships leav ing took out 110 more first cabin pas sengers than vessels carried in the corresponding week of last year. In coming liners up to April 3. brought in 645 more first cabin passengers than they did during the first three months of last yea- Cleveland Is 111 Again. Lakewood, N. J., April 9. Mrs. Grover Cleveland when asked today concerning a report that Mr. Cleveland was seriously ill, said: "Mr. Cleveland has been ill during the last week, but is much better this week and hopes In a few day to be quite himself." THURSDAY EVENING. NEARLY LYNCHED HTM. Grant County Farmers Had Rope Out for a Starter- of Prairie Fires. Syracuse, Kan., April 9. Owing to the many prairie fires and the great amount of damage, the commissioners of Grant county offer a reward of 4100 for the arrest of the firebugs. Farm ers in that county came near to lynch ing a man accused of setting four prairie fires one night recently. The had the rope around his neck but did not hanx him. ADAMS FAMILY GUILTY. Husband Convicted on Six Counts, Wife on Five. The Adams liquor case terminated at noon today, when the jury came in and reported that "Bee" Adams was guilty on all of the six counts charged, and that his wife, Joanna, was guilty on all counts except the fifth count. She was charged also with six counts, therefore, is held on five. Owing to trouble in securing juries, the April term of district court started in two days late, but County Attorney Schenck caught up with the regular schedule within a few hours, for the reason that the half dozen first de fendants, all charged with nuisance of the booze variety, were anxious to plead guilty. He permitted them to take a plea on one count each, and this scheme seemed to be sufficiently popular to continue indefinitely, until the Adams case was called for trial. Then the smooth flow struck a snasr. Adams and wife did not desire to plead guilty to one count each. Net result: they are stuck, after a few short hours' deliberation, for five and six counts respectively. The Adams case was humorous In some of its phases. In the first place, it is one of the first "double-barreled" liquor cases tried under the new law. This law permits a second trial and conviction on the some evidence and in formation. The Adamses were arrest ed and found guilty on six counts each in police court. Under the "double barreled" law, a representative of the county attorney was in police court, heard the evidence, and swore out a second complaint, charging the vic tims with violating a state law. They appealed from the police court con viction, and the appealed case was heard in district court last term. Both defendants were easily convicted, but secured a new trial on account of the fact that the city attorney and chief of police had used questionable meth ods in hiding some evidence favorable to the defendants. Now the Adamses are convicted be yond peradventure in the state case, and have still to face the new trial they secured on account of the deal en gineered by the city officials. The prosecution proved that "Bee" Adams, or F. M. Adams, as he appears on the document, is the owner of a government license as "R L D." It was proven that these mystic letters mean "Retail Liquor Dealer," and that Adams, at 300 Crane street, was "it." The defending attorneys-made the mis take of putting both Adams and his wife on the stand in their own behalf. This is risky businesswlth the Adams family, who have the reputation of be ing tough customers, but naturally truthful. It is impossible for either of them to tell a good lie, and they prac tically convicted themselves last even ing. Adams cheerfully admitted that he held a government license for the past two years, and further volunteer ed that he had one at the present time, to take the place of the one "swiped" from him by the officers. He said he had been arrested many times, and for a time was arrested almost every day. Some of the witnesses for the state, the same used in the city case, are the scum of the "bottoms" district. One young negro, James Heyden, dis tinguished himself, however, by hold ing out against the "influence," He stated that Chief Eaton, at the time of the Adams arrest, had promised him immunity if he would swear that he had bought beer, of Joar.a Adams. This he refused to do, according to his state ment, and was thrown into jail for ten days. After Heyden had made this statement. Chief Eaton had Heyden arrested for perjury. Heyden gave bond, and the court will attend to him later. Another witness for the state was "Hat" Maybee, a white woman who is classed with the lowest grade of negroes in the "bottoms" district. "Pie" Jordan will be tried this after noon for burglary. He was bound over for the theft, of some old clothes from a barn belonging to the Provident as sociation. BONAPARTE IS BUSY. But Can't TeU Congress What He Is Doing to Paper Trust. Washington, April 9. The house resolution introduced by Speaker Cannbn requesting information as to what steps have been taken to prose cute the "Paper trust," reached At torney General Bonaparte today and was referred by him to Mr. Purdy, assistant to the attorney general, who has been charged with the prepara tion of the reply to the house. It is understood that this reply will show that the department of Justice, al ready has taken the initial steps to bring the "paper, trust" officials to trial on criminal charges and that probably for that reason it will not be possible to supply congress with much detailed information which might jeopardize the success of the prosecution. Weather Is Unsettled. The weather conditions today come under the unsettled and threatening head with the forecast indicating show ers tonight and Friday with lower temperatures tomorrow. There has been but little sunshine today and the clouds have Indicated the predicted showers since noon though no prescipi tation has occurred.

Night Clerk at Copeland Has Served Term in Prison. CUT QUITE A DASH. Rumored Engagement to a To pekaGIrl. Now Giren Full Pardon to Go to Wife and Children. A good many people in Topeka were considerably surprised today to learn that Governor Hoch had granted to Rodger Cantwell, night clerk of the Copeland hotel, a commutation of his sentence In the state penitentiary, from which he was out on parole, so that he might go to Lake Charles. La., to support his wife and two children, who are reported to be in want. Mr. Cantwell has been out on parole for about four months, and during that time has been so attentive to a Topeka young woman that it was currently re ported that, they were engaged. Of course the girl didn't know. So far as known Cantwell conducted himself In an exemplary manner while In Topeka, save that he was too much Interested in the ladies for a man who had a wife and two children In need of his support in another state... Cant well was a good dresser, and an effi cient hotel clerk. The cause of Cantwell's incarcera tion in the state penitentiary was em bezzlement. It was charged that while clerk of the Hamilton hotel at Wichita he misappropriated $60 of the hotel funds. A good many people seemed to think that Cantwell was too severe ly punished for this offense for he had a long petition asking for his parole or pardon, and at the earliest oppor tunity under the law, was given a pa role from the prison by the state pa- role board. E. A. Fredenhagen and others then interested themselves In getting Cant-" well an absolute pardon so that he might go to Louisiana. A very pathetic letter is on file at Governor Hoch's office from Mrs. Rodger Cantwell, dated Lake Charles, La., in which she bess the governor to 'pardon her husband so that he can come and support her and their two children. The letter- says that since her husband's sentence to the penitentiam, she has been living with her father, but that her father has just died, and that she Is left entirely without means of support. "I don't know what to do or where to turn for help," says the heartbroken wife. Governor Hoch -decided that In-view of the fact that Cantwell's parole will" entitle htm to -absolute pardon after two more months, he would excuse him from staying in the state for those two months, and allow him to go to his needy wife. Cantwell said that he could get steady employment in his business provided he should be allowed his liberty, and it Is supposed that he will go to Louis- iana to look after his family. Meantime there are some Topeka peo ple who are much shocked at the dis closures caused by the commutation of the sentence. PROHIBITION UPHELD. 'Alabama Supreme "urt Renders a Sweeping Decision.

The Alabama supreme court today held both the general prohibition and the 9 o'clock closing laws to be constitu tional ana eitecuve. ahsck nu oeen made on both by the liquor forces of: the state.

3! MAKINGJvRECORD City Administration Is Surely Saving Money. Expenses Reduced Fif teen Thou sand Dollars in a Year. NEW EAST SIDE PAKKS. People "Would Have an Immense Benefit District. Extend From Kansas Avenue'to Eastern City Limits. There is $36,453.73 more money In the city treasury after doing eleven months' business ending with February 2, 1908, than there was for the same length of time last year and ending with the same data in 1907. Last year the report of the city clerk showed a deficit of $771,66; on February 2, this year there is a surplus accumu lated of $35,682.07. Of this surplus $20, 000 is due to Increased revenues from taxes, $804 from increased miscellan eous receipts,, while the remaining $15, 000 was saved from month to month in running the city's business. The police department made a saving of $2,700 In eleven months, the fire de partment $3,600, the city officers $1,000, sanitary department $140, street de partment $4,800, city engineering de partment $160, electric light- depart ment $800, miscellaneous expense ac count $2,900. The total grand 'receipts for the eleven months ending with Feb ruary 2, 1908, were $182,891.26, while the disbursements were $147,209.19.

A large delegation from the East side headed by Chris Roof and another smaller delegation of women, among the number being Dr. Eva Hardinsr. city park, commissioner, were present. j.ne largest tract of three is the old lumber yard of the Santa Fe which Is bounded by Branner street on' the east, Holliday street on the west and on the north and south by Fourth street and East Sixth avenue. It is still in use as a sort of store yard by the Santa Fe and is covered with tracks and small buildings, most of them old. The lum ber yards of the Santa Fe are now in the shop district and there is no fur ther use for the present tract of ground for this purpose. The site is an ideal one for a park, the Shunganunga bor ders It; it is centrally located and would give a vastly better impression of Topeka to the casual traveler than the sight of the structures that are on the place now. The Klein tract is nine acres in extent, covered with trees and lies to the east. The third piece of ground asked for is a small triangular piece of land bounded by Eighth, Law rence and Tenth avenues. The boundaries of the proposed bene fit district are aU of the city lying east of a center line down Kansas ave nue and all that north of a center line of Twelfth street. The council announced last evening that Hasklns Ramsey were the low est bidders on the paving this year. The amount of the contract, according to their figures, is $76,960.08. Their bid for the entire work. rolling, grading, paving, curbing, guttering, etc., on each of the. streets to be paved follows: Monroe street, $6,146.91; Jackson, $6,677.01; Harrison, $3,008.31; Lane, $5, 900.24; Garfield, $4,869.30; West Sixth avenue, $39,458.27; Tenth avenue, $8, 183.41; Thirteenth, $2,022.21; Williams, $694.42. John Ritchie refused to accept a con tract for Garfield street, the one on which he was the lowest.' Now that they know the outcome of the election, the councllmen haven't any use for astrologers, palmists, clair voyants and those kind of folk who tell all about what is going to happen to you. The councllmen have found out and are not catering to those who look into the future and accordingly they hiked up the license charges. Hereafter the license charges will be $5 per day, $25 per week and $75 per month. An ordinance to this effect was passed. Councilman Lannan introduced a resolution placing the council on rec ord in favor of employing laborers and workmen who live In Topeka and against foreign imported material "There is a great host of foreigners who block our streets down there on the East side," said Mr.- Lannan. "I don't want to put any thorns into the side of the corporations, but I would like to see the council go on record as favoring trie man who .has his home here and his Investments as against this other class." The council went on record favoring the resolution. A resolution to change the name of the Arch street park to. Westlawn was introduced and referred to the com mittee on streets and walks. The report on the city electric light plant by the special committee of, the Commercal club came up- and was .greeted with laughter by the council men. Some one suggested, framing it but it was finally- placed on file for future generations, to read.

'4 Oyer 200 Turned Over to Coun ties and Sent to Poor Houses. Statistics collected by the state board of control show that one-fifth of the counties of the state have insane patients incarcerated in- their alms houses, while almost one-half of the counties have idiots or feebleminded persons in their alms houses. The total population of all the alms houses in the state on January 1 was 749. Of this number, 203 were either Insane or idiotic. These statistics were collected by the board of control for the purpose of showing 'the need for the enlargement of the Wlnfleld school for feeble minded, and also of the state insane asylums. It has also been ascertain ed that many more harmless lunatics are being taken care of in private families at county expense, instead of being sent to the poor farms. The board of control report also cov ers the population of all state charita ble, penal and other institutions. The figures are for January 1, 1908. The total population of the state penitentiary was 796 males and 23 females, a total of 919; of the indus trial reformatory at Hutchinson 310 males, making the aggregate number confined in penal institutions 1,129. In the Boys' Industrial school at To peka there were 188, and in the Girl's Industrial school at. Belolt there were 197. The total number of aged and in firm people (sane) in the county poor farms was 411, of which 306 were men and 105 were women. There were also in private institutions 15 males and 60 females, making the total pauper population 436. There were 480 children in semi public orphanages, and 100 In strictly private orphanages. There were also 151 in the state orphans' home, and 18 in county poor farms, making the total number of orphan children 744. At the Topeka and Osawatomie asy lums there were 2.372 insane; 81 more were in private asylums and 45 were In county poor farms. There were 391 idiots and feeble minded persons at the Wlnfleld hospi tal, and 158 in county poor farms. The state hospital for epileptics has 876 inmates. At the state blind school there are 88 students, and 51 more blind persons are at poor farms. In the state deaf and dumb school are 240 students, and 25 more are In county poor farms. There are 47 Inebriates confined in county poor farms. Twenty-seven almshouses had no in mates of any class during 1907. There are insane persons confined in about one-fifth, and feeble minded persons In about one-hair or the county alms houses of the state. No appropriation la made for the care of this class in their stage of affliction. The board of control will ask the next legislature to provide for their care in additional or enlarged state institutions. An examination of the reports of the 105. county clerks to the board of con trol, covering almshouse population, hows that on January 1, the alms house record was: Eighty-five had no insane Inmates; 54 had no feeble minded; 96 had no inebriates; 77 had no blind; 90 had no deaf; 97 had no children.

Sore in mind and body, George Hackenschmidt,- "the Russian Hon," and former world's champion wrestler, is on the ocean, bound for England. Hackenschmidt did not wish to discuss his reoent match in Chicago with Frank Gotsch, but be fore he sailed he said: "I believe I have not had a square deal. The referee when I met Frank Gotsch in Chicago, did not seem to see the way in which Gotsch was wrestling. I had no one behind me to look after my interests. "You can see for yourself," said the lion, turning the left side of his face, and eye, badly disfigured. "That scratching should not be al lowed in a wrestling match. Gotsch kept digging his thumb into my eyes, the side of my face and the left ear. His finger nails were long and did great damage. Some Americans at the ringside cried 'Shame.' LEWIS CAN'T COME.

BUT THAT ISN'T ALL. Rebound 700 Volumes and 700 Newspaper Files. Public Printer Talks of His In creasing Duties. During the last two months, the state printing office, under the management of T. A. McNeal, has turned out 27,300 volumes of state books, having a total of 7,971,600 pages, or an average of 292 pages to the book. The biggest volume was the 75th Kansas supreme court report, which had 1,027 pages. The smallest was a 60 page pamphlet for the state labor commissioner. In addition to printing and binding all these books, the state printing office has rebound books for the various state libraries, and newly bound in Russian leather magazine flies, aggre gating 700 volumes. It has also bound 700 volumes of Kansas newspapers for tne state Historical society. This is the most difficult and expensive class of work which the bindery has to han dle, and it is rapidly increasing in vol ume. A list of the books which the state printing plant has published since the special session of the legislature is as follows: No. No. pages, copies. Kansas supreme court report (leather) 1,027 Laws of special session (buck ram) 240 House Journal, special session (half leather) 290 1,500 6,000 1,000 senate Journal, special session (half leather) Horticultural report (cloth). 200 1.000 Building and loan report (pa per) 170 Labor commissioner pamphlet (paper) 60 Coburn quarterly (paper) 230 Report of charities conference (paper) 113 BOO 2,000 8,300 5,000! It is unusual for the house and 1 senate Journals and. session laws of a tocHnlntivo scoKtnn tr. he fcai.d t. :i ""rtT" after the session as were these books issued after the special session. Speaking of the binding which Is done for the various state libraries, Mr. McNeal said today: "Under the law, the libraries at the State university. State Agricultural college, two state normals and all other state educational institutions, together with the state library at To peka and the State Historical society library, are all. authorized to send in here their worn out books for rebind ing. This class of binding was al ways avoided as far as possible by state printers before the state took charge of the printing plant,, because there is no money In it. It, Is a diffi cult and expensive;fJob.';i This class of books are mostly bound In half Rus sia, and it involves a great deal of sorting and classifying. Books sent in for rebinding must be all taken to pieces and restitched. "Then there are the newspaper files from the State Historical Bociety, which have to be bound. The preparation of these newspapers for binding is a big undertaking. They have to be sorted and straightened one at a time, and this is a long and tedious process. "This class of work Is Increasing because the number of books In the state libraries, which now aggregates close to 200,000, Is increasing, and the number of books which need rebind ing is also increasing; I don't know how much longer we can handle this work without increasing the capacity of the bindery. "I am very much gratified at the amount of work which we have turned out since the special session of the legislature. We were able to get the special session Journals and laws out of the way promptly because the copy came in promptly. In addition to all this book making, we have of course done the heavy line of print ing forms, blanks, and miscellaneous work for all the state institutions and the big departments at the state house. We now have the catalogue for the State University about two thirds completed, which is much fur ther advanced than usual. This cata logue will consist of 500 pages or thereabout, and 12,000 copies will be printed." Sold Meat Unfit for Food. Emporia, April 9. In Justice of Peace D. A. Dryer's court, C. D.

Stone Seems to Have Given Way to Cement in Topeka. fm. .14 TIkiU Cnni4 klita i--". li- last yearTor the curbing of ie Iasl year lor tne curuins V1 West street from Ninth to Tenth, Madison from Tenth to Eleventh and Jefferson from -Third to Fourth streets. Property- owners have been clamoring for the completion of the paving -which should have been done two months ago. At a conference held today between the mayor, city attorney and city en gineer it was decided to readvertise for bids specifying cement curbing and relet the contract for the three blocks of paving involved. The con tract for the sandstone was let to Webster and TullOch of this city who are agents for the Fort Scott quar ries. '-u "There does not seem to be much demand any .mote :for .th&t.. stone curbing with i cemen being put in everywhere," saidr Mayor Wm. Green today. i "And for that reason-they are not doing much with those quarries at Fort Scott.- They said that they were going to open a new ledge of sand stone. After considerable time they announced that- the ledge had been uncovered but that it was not suitable for curbing. It tapered down. Prob ably a car load or two was delivered but that is all. More delay Is prom ised. The people have their park ings covered with bricx and they have paid for their paving but' have not got it yet. The condition is to be deplored. On that account we have decided to ask that the curbing contract be relet for cement. I don't believe that the people will ob ject to the cement and it won't cost them any more than the stone.. The original contract called for J 37 cents. The city tried letting its pav ing contracts in a lump this year. That is, bids which combined every thing, rolling, grading, paving and curbing in one sum were shown preference as against separate bids for such work. The scheme does not prove to be the success that it was thought it would.' It has hoisted the price and the paving costs more this year than last." The bids on grading last year ran from 26 cents to 34 cents, this year it was a flat 30 cents. Rolling cost 3 cents this year, last year from 2 to 3 cents. Combined curb and gut ter was let at 60, cents, last year the cost was but 57. cents. Paving cost from $1.28 to $1.29 a square yard, last year from $1.23 to $1.27. Vitrified tile pipe cost from 55 cents to 70 cents last year and this year It is a flat 75 cents. The big increased cost comes In the' curbing which Is three cents higher, in the other items of the contract the location of the work and change In the specifications are partially re sponsible for increased cost this year. The change In the paving specifica tion which calls for grouting the first layer of brick in all paving this year adds to the cost while the grading is practically the same kind of work as was done last year for the same price of 30 cents.

IT'S HARD TO GET MEN Two Sites Already Hare Been Tentatively Selected. One on Staten Island and One on Puget Sound. New York; April 9. The navy depart ment has under consideration a project for the establishment on the Atlantic and Pacific coasts of what will be known- as home bases for the fleets, where the enlisted men will be afforded an opportunity to purchase their own homes and where the ships of the fleet wm call at regular intervals. The es tablishment of such a community on Staten Island Is likely, in the opinion of many naval officers, and this is be lieved to have had much to do with the visit to New York the other day of Assistant Secretary of the Navy, Tru man H. Newberry, who sailed along the staten island coast, presumably loos ing for a site that would be suitable for the establishment of one of these proposed navy villages. For many years navy officers have advocated creating home ports to en hance the attractiveness of the service and bring, about much needed increase In enlistments, particularly re-enlistments. -i Before the departure of the Atlantic fleet for the Pacific, the enlisted strength of the navy was far below the requirements of the service. For years the recruiting officers had been work ing hard to bring the enlistments up to the maximum allowed by law. Then came the announcement of the cruise to the Pacific, with its many ports of call and numerous entertainments pre pared by foreign countries. This, of course, increased the enlistments, the result being that when the fleet sailed, the enlisted strength of the service was nearer the authorized maximum than it had been in years. But it will soon be necessary for the department to do something to keep the thousands of well trained men In th service.- This, the officials think. the establishment of home bases will accomplish. Kr Admiral BurwelL commandant of the navy yard In Puget Sound, Is said to have interested a number of prominent. Pacific coast men In the project of estaDiisning sucn a. cummuu it v there. With this object in view, it Is said that a large plot of ground win soon Nt nnrnhased near the Puget Sound yard where the enlisted men MU be given an opportunity of buying lots and erecting on them homes for their families. Whether such a community will be established on Staten Island has not yet been decided. Only $1.50 For f Gold filled eye glasses or spectacles, fitted by Chas.

Bloodhounds Ijose the Trail in the Horton Stock Yards. Atchison, April Nothing has been heard from the robbers who touched the Huron State bank for about $6,500, and the chances are that they have made their get-away. Two bloodhounds belonging to a man named Fulton, of Beatrice, were secured, and arrived at Huron at two o'clock in the morning. They were taken to the place where the robbers abandoned the handcars, a mile and a half east of Horton, and put on the trail. The robbers. Instead of following the railroad track, crossed an oat field, where their tracks could be plainly seen, then into a bluegrass t. pasture, and then down a road, through UVllUU fcU LUC XfcWJL JLBi&UU Jili UH, where the dogs lost the trail. Thi would Indicate that the robbers took a train out of Horton. A man named Case brought the hounds to Huron, and the bank paid him $20 a day and expenses. V
