TWO MORE BISHOPS, But mm S. A V He and the President Uni'ed on the Proposition. Bartholdt of Missouri Joins Them With a Club. Washington, May 26. With about twenty representatives and six or seven senators on their way home under the impression that the business of this session of congress was over and an adjournment in sight, the hardest fight of the session is on. The president and Speaker Cannon are working together for the first time this session. At last the speaker is convinced that if congress adjourns without enact ing some important legislation there will be trouble ahead for the Repub lican party at the polls and he Is de termined that a currency bill shall be passed before there is an adjourn ment. Even Speaker Cannon now is per suaded that the president knew what he was talking about last fall when he told the congressional leaders that they must pass a currency bill at this proposed is a combination of the Al drich and Vreeland bills. The details have not been definitely decided upon, but they will be of this general char acter: The limit of emergency cur rency that can be issued will be In creased from 600 million dollars.' the amount prescribed in both the house and the senate bills, to 750 million dollars; it will be provided that 50 per cent of this can be issued by banks organized into clearing house associa tions, with commercial paper ana oth er securities as a basis for the notes. The other 50 per cent to be Issued by flnacial banks upon state and mu nicipal bonds deposited witn the treasury. He Grown Insistent. The speaker has been growing more and more insistent on action. Today he went beyond anything that has yet been done. The talk of an immediate adjournment already had been met by him with a notice that the house probably would not be ready for that motion for some days yet. He has had telegrams sent to all the absent Republicans telling them to hurry back to Washington and then he caused it to be known that there would be no adjournment until action was had on this currency proposition. Meantime every agency of the speak er was at work on the insurgent Re publicans, who have prevented the adoption of the Aldrich bill by the house, in the effort to bring enough of them into line to obtain an agree ment that would be accepted by the senate. The legislative programme Is complicated by the attitude of the Democrats, who all along have opposed the Vreeland bill in any of its nu merous forms. Culberson, the Demo cratic senate leader, has added to the complication by announcing the un alterable opposition of the Democrats to anything except the Aldrich bill. He said that bill was bad enough, but it was distinctly the smaller of the two evils and it was all that his side would accept. Senator Teller, a member of the finance committee, joined in this dec laration, and coupled with it was the threat by both to talk until Christmas if necessary to prevent the senate from acting on anything like the Vreeland bill. Of course, if the Republicans were united and determined to pass the Vreeland bill in the senate they could do it simply by sitting still and making the Democrats do all the talking with a continuous session. But they are very far from that pitch of desperation yet. A new financial Warwick has ap peared in the house side, loudly pro claiming that he was entering the lists of his own volition and without having been inspired by the speaker. This was Bartholdt of Missouri. He bran dished a dreadful weapon and asserted that he would use it to the limit unless there should be action for currency re lief. Mr. Bartholdt is the chairman of .the house conferees on the public build ing bill. The conferees have agreed, and the senate has adopted their re- Wirt Thor. nmalna nnthin gress to do but to send the bill to the president for signature, except to have Bartholdt submit that conference re port in the house and have it adopted there, which it would be with a whoop. But Bartholdt has the report buttoned up tightly in his inside pocket and he asserts that he will see the bill buried and every man who is interested in its passage kept at home for lack of votes before he will make a move to submit that conference report unless a cur rency bill is passed. And Bartholdt, backed by the speak er, has the power to make good his threat. There is no power which can compel him to submit his report to the house. ...J 1IV,I1U1K i v J 1 liWII CITY OF STONE AGE. Lies Buried Under Campus of Cali fornia University. Berkely. Cal., May 26. Buried a few feet under the classic soli of the Uni versity of California campus lies a city of the stone age, whose massive walls respond to the instruments of the mem bers of the Berkley Society for Physi cal Research and show their well de fined locations, according to investiga tion made by Prof. Joseph Veril presi dent of the local Physical society other members. The investigations to find the lines of the buried city which l antedates by thousands of years the time of Columbus, have been carried on quietly, it is said, for the last few monms. None of the professors of the imi versity has as yet thoroughly investi gated the finds of the society, but it is likely that if their discoveries are found to have a foundation excavation work will be begun at once along scien- unc lines.

WHITLOWCLOSES Grilling Examination of the De fendant Ends at Noon. Other Witnesses Follow Cor roborating His Story. Iola, Kan., May 26. It was 20 min utes to 12 o'clock today when the rigid cross-examination of Samuel Whitlow by Judge Schoonover closed. Through It all until near the end Whitlow ap peared calm but ocasionally showed strong moments of stubbornness in his replies. The principal questions of the attorney were as to his night meet ings of himself and May Sapp, of what they-talked. aboutjand why they were continued.,," Judge Schoonover dwelt long upon the circumstances of the night meeting at the woodpile at the Whitlow home, where they did not separate untl 2 o'clock in the morning. The 'attorney asked Whitlow if it was true that they were there until that hour and if May had threatened to go' to the house arid kill Mrs. Whitlow, as he had told In his original story. Whitlow asserted that it was true as gospel. "Did she cut your hand with the razor and did you tell your wife that it was a wound from the scythe?" said the attorney. "This was true, as I said before," nodded Whitlow. 'Do you mean to tell thfs court and jury," continued Attorney Schoonover, "that you sat and talked with this girl until 2 o'clock in the morning on that woodpile without kissing or caressing her?" 'As I live and breathe, this is the God's truth," solemnly replied Whit low. "I did not hold her hand, even." "At this hour what were your feel ings towards May Sapp; were they of a perfectly moral nature?'" They were. The same as if she were a sister or a mother." "What on earth were you talkine about all of that time?" "Of the past, of the future and where our little life tragedy would end. Under those silent, solemn stars," almost sobbed Whitlow, "it was a sorrowful, reverential feeling of a wasted life that prevailed and not the amorous." At this point several Jurors and women in the court room were visibly affected. Following Whitlow on the stand came the Reese boy who testified as to finding the spectacles in the alley wnerj may sapp naa tnrown them. W. T. Lacy, a jeweler, also testified to Whitlow's bringing the glasses to him for repairs as Whitlow had stated in his story. It is now thought that it will take all of Wednesday to finish the evidence and that the case can not aro tn the Jury before Thursday night. ljate Jlonday Session. Iola, Kan., May 26. Judge Schoon over for the state had fairly started into the cross examination of Samuel Whitlow in the Sapp murder trial Monday evening when court ad journed. When Whitlow left the stand he was slightly pale but he had also nearly worn Schoonover out. Durimr the severe cross examination Judge Schoonover asked Whitlow to whistle as he did when he called May Sapp from her home. The crowd laughed and Whitlow hesitated and for a mo ment it looked as though he was not going to whistle, but he did and the crowd laughed again. Whitlow was questioned concerning the razor found near May Sapp's body. He insisted that he had never owned the instrument and had never pur chased a razor from Montgomery Ward Co., the firm which handled this brand of razors. "Did you kiss your wife the night you went to see May Sapp, the night she died?" "No, sir." Whitlow declared that in the two years he had gone to see May Sapp he had never kissed or caressed her. For nine hours Whitlow had occu pied the witness stand. He was nerv ous through the early morning but as the day wore on and his confidence returned he talked louder s,nd an swered .questions more quickly. He did not volunteer much information, but confined himself to answering the questions asked. VII .4 IT IS WARM OXCE MORE. Mercury Reaches 86 Degrees at 1:30 Today. Today has been a scorcher and the heat has been felt a great deal more than it would have been if the ground was not so water soaked. At 1:30 this afternoon the mercury took a sudden jump and registered 86 for a few min utes thought at 2 o'clock it had drop ped back 2 degrees. This is the high est point that the mercury has reached this season at this hour though at a later hour it has reached one point higher. There was just a trace of rain Monday afternoon at 3 o'clock but it was hardly noticeable excepting on the attendance at the ball game. The forecast indicates fair weather over the entire state for Wednesday with cooler conditions prevailing to the western portion of the state. A six teen mile an hour wind prevailed at 2 o'clock today from the south which somewhat tempered the effects of the -beau The following are .the ..tempera tures recorded in Topeka since seven o'clock this morning: 7 o'clock.. 73)11 o'clock 80 8 O'clock 73jl2 o'clock 82 9 o'clock 76 1 o'clock 84 10 o'clock 7811:30 o'clock 86 1 2 o'clock 84 VALUATION DOUBLED. Topeka Real Estate Assessment Is Boosted. Topeka real estate has been increas ed in its valuation just double by the board of assessors who will complete their work this "evening. "Yes, more than twice," said C. K. Jewell, one of the assessors. "Taking it all In all, city property has just been appraised twice as high and then some. The business and the residence proper ty have been treated the same. All of the business property south of Fifth street on Kansas has been more than doubled, there has not been so much r,-t Vi ftf thnt strppt. In "North Topeka we have tried not to make any material increases. Asiae itom uus and the few scattering cases of where some of these old time residences, the good ones, were assessed up to the limit, the increases were more than double. "A lot of these good old time resi dences have been sold for less than they could be built and we have taken this into consideration in making our appraisement. Then too, they were appraised right up to the notch in the past." SEVENTEEN INJURED. Children on Runaway Truck Collide With a Car. Pottsvllle, Pa.,' May 26. Seventeen children were injured, several of them fatally, last night when 4 score of boys and girls climbed aboard a truck on the Philadelphia Reading railroad branch to the Lincoln colliery and started it down the heavy grade. While going at' frightful speed the truck col lided with a car and both were almost completely demolished. VINEGAR MEX WANT TO KNOW. Meet Wfth Food Inspector to Discuss Things. A convention of the vinegar men of the state was held in Topeka this week. The object was to talk over the vinegar situation with Dr. S. J. Crum- blne, chief food inspector of the state, and ascertain just what requirements the department will make concerning tne manuiacture oi vinegar. The firms represented were the Pick ert Vinegar company. Leavenworth: the Wichita Vinegar company; Otto Kuehne Vinegar and Preserving com pany, Topeka: J. H.

Miles of Water Since Monday. Fort Worth, Texl May 26. With the waters of the- Trinity river still near the summit of the banks, an other great volume of water began pouring rrom tne west rork or that stream toward. this-city late last night. Early today the river Is rising at a rate of 6 inches an hour and with such conditions asv already' prevail, the outcome when .the crest of this second rush of watejf reaches this city can not be foretold, That consider able property losst and suffering will result Is considered 'certain. From Sunday 1' sight until noon yesterday the river -was- receding but slowly. During the afternoon the water was at a standstill; Last night the second rise the crest-of which should reach Fort Worth" by late to- aay, Degan. v The number' of dead here stands at 10. Two of the bodies, of those drowned Saturday night were re covered yesterday. One -was that of a man named Welch, an employe of a saloon and the other was of a far mer. The railway situation shows but little change. The Rock Island is making but little effort to run trains in any direction. The joint track of the Texas Pacific, Missouri, Kansas Texas, and Cotton Belt will not be opened for traffic before Thursday at least. The Missouri, Kansas Texas is making no effort to run trains north and the Frisco Is stopping all southbound trains at Carrollton and turning them back. The Fort Worth- Denver hopes to put a train through- today, but its success is uncertain.- Communica tion was attempted yesterday with Dallas over the Houston Texas Central, by way of .Ennis, but the trains could not proceed further than the last named point. Only the In ternational and Great Northern and the Houston Texas Central had their tracks open yesterday. A conservative estimate- plsvees the loss of the railroads at a round mil lion dollars. A serious situation has developed "here in5fegari to the city water supply.- Thevtnalns Are filled with black muddy water unfit for drinking even --after being boiled and settled. The city authorities declare it may be a week before they can restore, the normal water supply. In the meantime those who can afford It, are buying water from private artesian wells and those who can not afford it are drinking the water that comes from the mains. Thrilling rescues "were i reported from Currowton and Grapevine. Thirteen men, women and children were caught in the overflow of the Denton river. Their condition be came so precarious that they, were forced to hold the children upon their shoulders In order to keep them from drowning. These people stood In water almost to their necks for ten hours until rescued. Thirteen railroad employes engaged in repair ing a bridge at Grapevine were hemmed in by the rising waters on Monday. They sought refuge on top of a big water tank and at last ac counts were still on the tank sur rounded by four miles of water. An effort will be made today to rescue them. WORST IS OVER. Flood Waters Are Rapidly Receding in Oklahoma. Guthrie, Okla., May 26. The sun is shining in Oklahoma today and the flood waters are fast receding. No additional loss of life Is reported and the homeless are beginning gradually to return to their homes. The death roll remains at eight. With miles of tracks washed out and bridges dam aged or destroyed, the railroadsare still demoralized; train service on many lines must remain annulled for sev eral days yet, while on others only a partial service is possible. The dam age to crops and railroads can of course be only roughly estimated, but a conservative figure places the aggre gate at close to 10 millions of dollars. It marks the costliest disaster ever sustained either In Oklahoma and In dian territories, or by the new state of Oklahoma. Hundreds of passengers- are stalled at Shawnee, Tulsa, Muskogee, and at other points. At Muskogee the Arkansas river continued o rise up to last night, but this morning began gradually to lower. At that point 2,500 consumers are still without gas, as a result of the principal, main breaking. Three-fourths of the great potato fields between Muskogee and Fort Gibson are submerged. In West Guthrie, where more than five hundred houses were submerged, the water drained off fast today and conditions began to assume a normal aspect. The bottoms, however, will likely be under water for many days yet. Around Shawnee, Sapulpa, Tulsa, Jenks and other points hundreds of railroad laborers are at work repair ing tracks and bridges. At Stigler the Canadian -iver has made a complete change of course and railroad bridges that formerly spanned that stream are rendered useless. Ardmore has had but one mail In 36 hours, and in that time has been practically without telephone or tele graphic communication with the out side. Good Rain at Oakley. Oakley, May J8.-An-Inch and a quarter rain Monday makes the far mers feel fine. Crops are in. splendid condition. Certain sections of the country have been badly in need of rain and farmers have reported their crops burned up, but now say that it will make a good yield. Many Unemployed Men Are Now Arkilable. Rush and Barton Ask for the Largest Number. Twenty-one thousand five hundred men and 1,975" teams are 'called for to day by State Free Employment Agent T. B. :Gerow, to help. in the Kansas wheat harvest.; These men and teams are wanted on or about June 15. It is thought that the harvest will begin, in the southern edge of the state about June 10 -to 15, depending 'on the weather.-The central Kansas harvest will be between the 15th and 20th, and the northern har vest willbegin; about July 1." "Tfiil rahr6ads"Jiave not yet announced what "sort, "of a" rate they, will make to the harvest fields, but it is thought that they will do the same they did last yeai" l- cent, a mile from the Missouri river to interior Kansas points, in par ties of 10 or more. There is an unusual demand for teams this year, and farmers will pay $4 or S5 per day for a man and a team. Many owners of teams will probably drive into the harvest fields and follow it from the southern to the northern edge of the state. -Mr. Gerow thinks that the state will be able to get all the help needed this year. He says: "There are said to be a good many men tramping through the state. These men would be forced to go to work, either in the harvest fields or on the rock pile. I think that a good many unemployed from the big cities will drift out this way. There will be plenty of work for those who want to work. Then of course I am getting many ap plications from college boys and indi viduals who want to pome, and they will easily find places. "T want to warn harvest hands not to head for Great Bend. That town is always overstocked. Scatter out go some place else besides Great Bend. I never send anybody to Great Bend be cause they always have more than they need anyway." From his correspondents in the wheat country, Mr. Gerow has re ceived the following reports on the number of harvest hands and teams which will be needed," in addition to the men and teams now on hand: Hands.

A Woman Writes That She Has Seen Mrs. Grunness. Indianapolis, Ind., May 26. Through a letter sent to Governor Hanley by Emma C. Kolb of South Coventry, Conn., the sheriff of Laporte county has obtained a possible clew to the supposed whereabouts of Mrs. Gunness, if the Laporte woman is still alive. The Coventry woman wrote at length de scribing a mysterious woman in black who has been swindling the people over the eastern part of Connecticut and who she believes is no other than Mrs. Gttnness.- .The writer says she has seen a picture of Mrs."-Gunness and that the resemblance is so striking that she could hardly be mistaken in her con elusions. ah oWcTlesson.

An Inritation on the Fart of the Nebraskan Meets a Hearty Response From the Secretary. Washington, May 26. When Secre tary Taft reached his office today he found, a number- of newspaper men charged with Inquiry as 'to what an swer he intended to return to the in vitation of W. J. Bryan to join him in an effort to secure the enactment of a bill requiring publication of cam' paign. contributions. The secretary re plied that he had not seen any com munication from Mr. Bryan on this subject and in fact it was several hours later before the telegram reached him as follows: "I beg .to suggest that as leading candidates in our respective parties we join in asking congress to pass a bill requiring puDilcatlon of campaign con tributions prior to election. If you think best we can-, ask other candi dates to unite with us in the request. (Signed) "WM. J. BRYAN." Secretary Taft had meanwhile and before he had received this .telegram had a talk with the president at the WhiteHouse so that he was prepared im mediately upon his return to the war department, to give out for publication his answer as follows: TaTt's Reply. "Hon. W. J. Bryan. Lincoln, Neb. "Your telegram received. On April SO last, I sent the following letter to Senator Burrows, the chairman of the committee on privileges and elections, of the senate: "My Dear Mr. Burrows: I sincerely believe that it would greatly tend to the absence of corruption in politics if the expenditures for nomination and election of all candidates and all contributions made and expenditures made by political committees could be made public, both in respect to state and national politics. For that reason I am strongly in favor of the passage of the bill which Is now pending in the senate and house bringing about this result so far as national politics are concerned. I mark this letter, personal, because I am anxious to avoid assuming an attitude in the campaign, which it is quite possible I shall never have the right to assumebut so far as my peFsonal-influeace. is concerned I am anxious to give it' for the passage of the bill. Very sincerely yours, -(Signed.) "'WILLIAM H. TAFT.' "Since writing the above in answer to inquiry I have said publicly that I hoped .such a bill would pass. (Signed.) "WILLIAM H. TAFT." ROBBED A DETECTIVE. Burglar Takes His Star as Well as All His Valuables. Chicago, May 26. A burglar with a humorous turn- of mind who picked as his victim a detective noted in his dis trict as an expert "thief catcher,", is one of Chicago's latest acquisitions. The midnight prowler broke into the policeman's room while he lay asleep in bed, appropriated diamond cuff but tons, stick pins, other articles of jew elry and $90 in cash, which he found under the detective's pillow. The thief added insult to injury he left the policeman's gun, not even re moving the cartridges before he left, but took his star. Detective Sargeant P. A. Reynolds was the victim of the midnight raid. William Levy, alias George Davis, a negro, under arrest Is said to be the burglar. Reynolds asserts he was chloro formed before he was robbed. OUT OF A CALM SEA. Arose a Wall of Water Thirty Feet High. New York, May 26. A single great wave directly in front of her bow al most wrecked the Norwegian tramp steamer Joseph K. Cuno, on a cruise from Port Antonio, .Jamaica, which she has Just finished. "We were in a perfectly calm sea," said Captain Aamdt, in quarantine, "on a sunshiny day when suddenly a wall of water 30 feet high reared in front of our bow and pitched us up and up till I though we would never stop.-- We almost turned a somersault. A second wave lifted us as high again, but this time we kept level. That was all -except hundreds of dead fish floating on the surface as we steamed away." He thinks the waves were caused by a submarine earthquake. The ship was not harmea. FOR CLOSERUiTlON. General Assembly Favors Any Plan Which Will Unite the Churches. Kansas City, Mo., May 26.

Dowager Queen of Portugal Sued by the Trades People. Lisbon, May 26. The royal house hold of Portugal is being besieged by creditors and newspapers of Lisbon are filled with notices of suits brought by trades people against its members. The courts already have awarded a butcher $210,.. and costs, the amount of an unpaid meat bill against Dow ager Queen Marie .Pia and the Duke 6f Oporto. i. This situation arises from the fact that the members of the royal house-, hold have not received a single penny from the state since King Carlos and his son were assassinated four months ago, because the new civil list cannot be approved until after the financial accounting of the reign of the late King Carlos, is completed and this is held up by threatening; revelations from Senhor Carvalho, who was min ister of finance under Premier Franco, regarding moneys which went to members of the present government.

Landreth Palls Off a Fielding Sensation. After meandering along with beau tiful box work for five Innings, Jack Forrester took a skyward flight at the local ball lot yesterday afternoon and this followed by another aerial jaunt in the eighth inning gave the visiting invaders from Wichita yesterday's game by a score of 6 to 4. After witnessing the first five Inn ings it was Impossible to Bee where the Jobbers had even a lookin and the fans were beginning to congratu late the blond pitcher on a shutout. Forrester Is known for his poor starts during a game, but rarely ever does he have an ascension and when he loses a game it is generally during the first few innings .as he always Im proves tne longer he works. But not so yesterday. The local lads started out for blood in the very first round. With two down Davis got next to Bolin for a two bagger and Landreth followed with a liner to right Held good for two sacks which scored Jjavis. Sylvester Olson hit Bafe, but Landreth. was nail ed at the plate on a very close decis ion. Again In the third inning the Cooley aggregation scored adding a duo of runs to their tabulation. After two had been retired Emery Olson drew a walk and Boles beat out an infield hit, Olson going to third. Boles started to steal second and when Mlsse allowed the throw to dribble through his legs Olson scored and Boles went to third. Forrester hit safe and Boles trotted across the rubber. The next eventful round was the sixth Bolin started with a single and Middleton was passed. Annis hit In to a fielder's choice catchlhg Bolin at third. Hetling hit a line drive which Emory Olson stopped by a high jump, but It filled the bases nevertheless. Then it was up to Pennell who out- fielded on Cooley's. 1906 pennant win ners. Pennell laced out a beautiful triple and three runs dented the plate in rapta succession, Pennell himself tallied a minute later when Holland dropped a small hit In front of the plate. Again In the eiehth the Jobbers found Forrester. With one down, Hetling singled and Pennell followed with another one. Holland hit to Kahl and Bobby made a bad heave to the plate allowing the German to score. Then a long hit to Landreth by Cermack, sacrificed Pennell home. A rally was started :hy the locals in the latter half of the eighth, but it was nipped In the bud by the substi tution of Scott for?e44n. Davis walk ed and Landreth singled when the yanking took place. Two infield outs sent Davis across the plate, but Scott was a hard nut for the locals to crack and the Jobbers emerged with the game. During the early stages of the game, the locals played a whirlwind fielding game three double plays com ing in the first four innings. After that the infield played a sort of list less game all the "pepp" seemingly have flown. But no one will complain on this account as the league leaders have been going a mighty fast pace lately and are bound to have a reac tion and play listless ball occasionally. Today they will be fielding better than ever. The fielding stunt of the day was performed by Cyrus Landreth In the eighth Inning when he robbed Cer mack of a double by a long running one handed catch. Kahl had a busy day at second and barring his poor throw to the plate in the eighth play ed a gilt edged game. Annis played a great game at short, notwithstanding the fact that two boots are charged up to him. The two teams are at It again to day. Tomorrow the drawing card will be Dr. Andrews with his bunch of Hutchinson Salt diggers. Game call ed at 3:30. The score yesterday: TOPEKA. PI aver AB. R. H. 1 0 2- 2 1 0 1 1 1 0 O.

Andrews has a good team and is putting up a mighty game fight now, although handicapped by a poor start. His team are Known as fight ers and are always In the game. Af ter the Hutchinson series the locals take the road playing three games, two on Saturday. and one on Sunday. Monday will be an off day and the lo cals go to Oklahoma City to play the four following days. Then will fol low four at Hutchinson and four at Wichita. From a well known thirty-third de gree fan who wished to be quoted: "I don't suppose that I know much about baseball and everyone tells me that I don't and I may not know what I am talking about, but I have a very vivid impression that the first eight men in Cooley's batting order are able at any time to break un a game." Bolin, -who pitched the opening part of the game for Wichita yester day, is an old Southern leaguer and was at one time eligible for the big leagues although he never landed any higher than a class A league. The -Wichita team is carrying enough pitchers at the present time as six men are with the team draw ing pay on the allegations that they are twirlers. Scott, Speer, Bolin. Clark, Dick and Ward Isbell compose the sextette. One player on the Wichita team who is always popular with the fans in this city is Arthur Queisser who is playing the Bub catching role for the Wichita team. Art is always full of fun and is making Jests which keep the grandstands in good humor. He has not appeared In a game here yet but has cut up a little bit on the coaching lines. Walter Queisser, the pitcher who Was at one time considered ahnnt tha best in the Western association, has a lucrative position at his home in Indianapolis and is playing Saturday and Sunday ball on the side. Frank Isbell was on the coaching lines and In uniform yesterday for the first time since the season opened. "I have hopes some day of being able to play," says the Wichita magnate, "and it Won't Tllirr TY1 a t, 1 vw Tj -L ditlon ready to get in the game if that i?Jlaa 18 the opinion mm ocou, xne pnener who worked in the rear end of yesterday's game, is One Of the Comincr r1thera nf Ua country.

TOE TOPEKA PAILY STATE JOXmiTAIr TUESDAY EVEimrg, HAY 26, 1SC3. V i RAILROAD, NEWS. Denies That Roads Heard From the Commissioner. Mr. Clark Makes Statement in Present Rate Case. CAN'T GIVE OPINION. Both Sides of ControTersy En- titled to Hearing. Other Items of Interest in Railway Circles. The first statement by a member of the Interstate commerce commission on the subject of higher freight rates. has been made by Commissioner iar in Chicago. In reply to the inquiry of an executive officer of a shipping or ganization, who asked whether, as cur rently reported, the commission or any of the commissioners had intimated to the railroads that a general or partial advance in freight rates "would not be regarded with disfavor by the ad ministration," he is quoted as saying: "There is no truth whatever in any such report. I am sure no commission er expressed himself as being opposed or not opposed to an advance in rates. The commission cannot speak for the administration in such matters, nor has it any power or right to talk until rates are made and their reasonable ness questioned. It would be undigni fied, and absurd to assume any other position." The inquirer in question is not in sympathy with the methods- employed by shipping organizations in opposing the proposed advance, and he repre sents one of the biggest organizations of men who make revenue for the railroads. "I believe," he says, "that the ship pers are making a serious mistake against any advance in rates and sup plementing the resolutions with per sonal interviews in the newspapers that suggest a spirit of vindictiveness. "It is right that the shippers should ask to be consulted before any ad vances are put in effect, but it is not right to make general protest until we know what we are protesting about. If we go about this right and in good temper we will stand better with the public, and, in case we fail to reach an agreement with the railroads, will have a better case to present to the commission. "Leading railroad men like Mr. Math er have publicly stated with emphasis that thev favored consultation between carriers and shippers in matters of mutual concern. We can lose nothing by taking them at their word, or at least by giving them a chance to make good. In matters of great national im portance the average thinking man has the last word. "Getting down to the merits of the case, there are lots of rates that should be' advanced. The higher class rates never were high enough in our time. Many rates. on grain and other com modities also are too low. Rate ad justment is the thing not the rate it self. r "The rate on the highest class is so lnrtn'it!irna! faetorln the; Iflatng of the trade cost unit that it Is Hdiculo'us to think about it. What do you. care whether the freight rate on'yoiir suit Good-naturedly go after the Cook If the Postum is weak. Insist that it be boiled, as per directions onpkg. (That's easy) Then have a dark, rich breakfast beverage, heavy in nourishment, and old aches and ails from coffee disappear. "There's a Reason for P OS of clothes Is 7 cents or 8H cents? "Shippers argue that business is so bad no advances in rates should be made. A sound argument, but the rail road replies: 'When is a good time to advance them?' The time never came and never will, from the shipper's point of view. It is always the right time to reduce rates. I am with the shippers, but I have been a railroad man and can see both sides." FOR MEMORIAL DAY. Governor's Son Tries His Hand at a Proclamation. The Memorial day proclamation was issued today by Governor Hoch. Of. course that is figurative language, be cause Governor Hoch is back in Ohio at present. Nevertheless the proclama tion wa sissued. The finger of suspicion points strongly to Homer Hoch as the author of the proclamation. Homer Hoch is considerable of a gardener himself. when it comes to picking flowers from the conservatory of the human soul. This is the proclamation: "Following a long honored custom and in harmony with our law estab lishing it as a legal holiday, it becomes my duty and privilege to urge upon ttie people of this state a faithful observ ance of Saturday, May. 30, 19 OS, as Memorial day. "So well fixed in state and national custom and so deeply cherished in the minds and hearts of our people is Memorial day that no formal words, no executive proclamation, can add to its significance or give new empnasis to the deeds it commemorates and the memories it treasures. No more beautiful or inspiring custom prevails than the observance of this day, when a true hearted people assemble to honor the nation's defenders the liv ing and the dead. It is a day when memory weaves again a story of sacri fice, of courage, of patriotic devotion, of lofty service by the men of the army and the navy and by mothers and wives and daughters in the hos pital and in the home, unsurpassed in the chronicles of human history. "Gathering with members of the Grand Army of the Republic and of the Woman's Relief Corps beside the mounds where sleep the patriot dead those who fell in the conflict ana those who have since been laid beside their comrades in the silent camp let a loyal people not only speak words of praise and scatter flowers in token of grateful remembrance for those that sleep, but let the living be made to feel that their countrymen place highest value upon their service, and that while gratitude endures their names will be garlanded with honor. And above all let devotion be pledged anew to the government they suffered to perpetuate and to the great princi ples for whose establishment they gladly offered up their lives. May the day everywhere be markea by a sol emn and fitting observance and to that end may it be kept free from desecra tion Dy pudiic sports ana oy pudiic ex hibitions of any character that will tend to distract attention from the sacred thoughts and sentiments that rightfully attend it. "In testimony whereof I have here unto subscribed my name and caused to be affixed the great seal of the state of Kansas. Done at Topeka, this 26 th day of May. 1908. "E. W. HOCH, Governor."

Mattress Factory Blaze Brings Out Whole Department. Fire broke out in the cotton sheds of the William Schick mattress fac tory at Second and Jackson streets a few minutes before 3 b'clock"Oiis afternoon. The sheds consist "..of a building 80 feet long by. 16. feet in breadth and is located on the alley immediately back of the factory. Be tween two and three car loads of cot ton were stored In the sheds and it is hard to make an estimate of the dam age done at theV hour of going to press. The fire was stubborn: quickly as a steram of water was taken off of the burning bales of cotton they broke into flames again.' The origin of the fire is unknown but it is supposed to be the result of spontaneous combustion.1 The cotton in the sheds is valued at from six to seven thousand dollars. A gen eral alarm was fumed in. Later the fire was finally checked at 3:20 with a damage of about 31,500, fully' covered by insurance. It did not reach the main buildings, being con fined to the storage sheds. One of the employes of the mattress company was burned about the hands in releasing horses which were in the company's stables. NO THAW DIVORCE Evelyn Withdraws Action for An nulment of Her Marrlaee. New York, May 26. The action brought by Mrs. Evelyn Thaw to annul her marriage to Harry K. Thaw was discontinued today at the request of Mrs. Thaw's counsel. Bids for School House. A meeting of the building committee1 of the school board ha been held to com plete arrangements for bids for the Cen tral Park school building which is to be erected this summer. The committee de cided that all bids will be opened on the 15th of June and made a number of slight changes In the Dlans and SDecIfications The only material change will be a flat roof in place of the high one contemplated in the plans and specifications submitted by Chandler Neilson, the architects em ployed by the board. As the building is to be but two stories in height the fire es cape question which has been the bugaboo of -the school board for several months past, was not discussed. CITY COUNCIL NOTES. A paving is asked for on Kansas avenue from Euclid avenue from Twenty-first to Twenty-third street. From Euclid to Nineteenth the paving would be 35 feet and the remainder 30 feet.

LEAVE TO PRINT Is Granted House -Members Fire Days After Adjournment. Washington, May 26. Under sus pension of the rules the -house to day adopted an order presented by majority leader Payne, granting to members leave to print, for five days after adjournment, Minority leader' Williams opposed the order. In his- opinion the privi lege was but a reward to men who are unscrupulous, men who are dis honest in statements, men who are careless and reckless of what they are willing to say. He did not be lieve in matter going into the con gressional record that could not be replied to. The Republicans, he 'charged, intend ed to try to defend the policy of doing nothing. One reason, he said, why the nouse naa sunk so law was because the congressional record had become so Dulky no one read it and the people were compelled to get their informa tion of what congress was doing from the press. The Republicans, he said. naa much to explain to the people. Replying. Mr. Payne declared that It was more imperative that the order pass this session "because of the weeks that have been wasted." If that time could have been used in intelligent de bate, he said; there would have been no necessity for the order. The gentleman talks about this side making apologies," he said, "great heavens if this side needs apology how much more do you on that side need time to make apology for the ruthless waste of time? The Democarts, he contended would have the same opportunity to print "speeches that could not be answered on the floor of the house as the Re publicans." It would be a matter of cruelty, said Mr. Payne, to adjourn "witnout al lowing the Democratic party the oppor tunity to tell the country how they all turned their backs on the Bryan-Wil liams currency bill." Every Democrat in the house, he said, ought to get busy "in order to furnish some excuse to the party for going back on that measure that was heralded here as a party measure bearing the endorse ment of 'the peerless leader, the next Democratic candidate for the presi dency and the endorsement of the minority leader. Against Mr. Williams' allusion about the bulkiness of the record, Mr. Payne much to the amusement of his colleagues, read statistics showing that between December 19, and Jan uary 7, last the Democrats had used up 189 Vz pages of the record while the eRpublicans had occupied but 38 nasres. "That," he said, "was' before ;rthis filibuster this Idiotic policy of trying to block legislation by invoking the constitution and wearing out the clerk by useless, foolish roll calls. As to adjournment Mr. Payne said it would occur when the majority saw fit to order it. The order was vigorously opposed by Messrs. Hamlin (Mo.) Robinson (Ark.) and Slayden (Tex.)

Selden, Kan., May 25. Russell J. Harrison, the Democratic candidate for governor of Kansas is a typical Sheridan county farmer and mer chant. He was born in the state of Illinois, 56 years ago and for 56 years Mr. Harrison has been an unswerv ing Democrat, giving freely of his time and means for the upholding of Jeffersonian Democracy in the state, and. nation. He is a strong advocate of, tatriff. reform,. Believing tnat the tariff on lumber is a direct and un necessary tax upon the Kansas far mer, and an unwarranted discrimina tion against our American forests. A tariff for revenue only, states rights and a graduated income tax constitutes the greater part of na tional Democracy while the Oklahoma bank deposit guaranty law should be the leading issue In the coming con test in Kansas. If Mr. Harrison Is given the nomination on the fourth day of Aug ust next he certainly will be our next governor of Kansas. Mr. Harrison has already secured the required number of signatures to his petition to enable his name to be placed on the primary ballot, besides these signatures 'of many exceedingly stoh--'Democratsi; he is continually receiving '-strong' letters of indorse ments from many parts of the state and adjoining states. Of the six northwest counties of the state five of them gave Col. W. A. Harris, a majority in 1906. Mr. Harrison is a Democrat .who does things. He is popular and is receiving his strong est indorsements from the part3 of Kansas where he is best known. Fel low Democrats nominate Mr. Harri son, and the people of Kansas will elect him.
