The Santa Fe Recsiver's Wife and Three
Children Pass Through Topeka.
A special car attached to Santa Fe
train No 6, east bound, at $50 last even
ing contained Frank Gilbert, editor in
chief of the Chicago Inter Ocean, and
the family of Aldace F. Walker, receiver
and acting president of the Santa Fe
Mr.. Walker is at Albuquerque, where
be is awaiting the outcome of a suit be-
fore Judge Collier, asking for a separate
receiver for the Atlantic s. Pacific Mr..
Walkers family consists of his wife, a
very pleasant lady of not more than forty
years of age, his daughter and two sons,
Robert and Harold.
The sons are pleasant, handsome young
fellows 10 and 81, and there is bred in
them the genuine Chicago hospitality.
Harold, the younger son, is just at pres
ent his fathers private secretary, though
he has a year yet at Amherst college,
Massachusetts
The family have been in Colorado and
New Mexico for about two weeks. The
young men take considerable interest in
their fathers affairs.
1.-THE suit to have a separate receiver
appointed for the A. & p" said Harold,
s'was brought by the tirst mortgage bond
holders, led by a man named Hall, who
lives in New York. The case will be
argued on the 18th. They claim their
interests would be better protected by a
separate receiver and no doubt they
would The SAINTS Fe holds the second
mortgage, however, and also has inter-
ests which it believes its receivers can
best protect. 1t will be q very pretty
fight, for the lawyers are the best both
sides could get, but we expect to win"

SOON BE BEAUTIFUL.
Plans for the State House Grounds
Completed.
ENGINEER TWEEDDALE'S WORK.

There VIII Be q Plaza for Open Air
Meetings and a Lake.
Ex-City Engineer William Tweeddale
has just completed the plans for i'm
proving the state house grounds which,
if followed, will make the grounds a
beautiful place to behold.
His plans divide the grounds into
quarters by driveways which are to be
macadsmized. The fountain in front of
the east wing is to be repaired and put in
working order and another is to be put in
on the south side of the grounds.
Near the northwest corner a small lake
is to be built and stocked with fancy fish
and surrounded with shrubbery. The
trees are not to be cut down except
where they interfere with the driveway
plans. Foot walks skirt the entire
ground in irregular lines, which are laid
out on the same plan as the walks in
Lincoln park, Chicago
Ia the corners formed by the wings
flowers beds are to be built according to
approved designs, and the entire ground
Is to be we'll sodded with blue grass.
Colonel Tweeddale's plans contem-
plate the erection of plaza on the north
side of the grounds, Just in front of the
north wing. A four foot wall is to be
built and the space between the wall and
the wing Of the capitol filed. The plaza
can be used for open air meetings.
Colonel Tweeddale says that he thinks
that the matter should be left with a
commission composed of prominent
business men in Topeka, and he may
also submit the plans to the executive
council

DON'T CARE FOR THE CUP.
English Would Not Care IF America's Cup
Disappeared.


New YORK, Aug. 10 "A special to the
Herald from London says:
The view has been expressed at the
meeting of the Royal Athletic squadron
that the failure of England to secure the
cup would not be serious national mis-
fortune
81 will almost go further" said one
well known member of the squadron,
land say that in some ways the total dis
appearance of the cup would be bless
ing. Its existence is the cause of
the withdrawal of the best boat of the
year from the English races and if it
were to be won by US then the same
yearly loss of their crack yacht would
be experienced by Americans"
However, this view is not generally
held and most experts, both in aud out
of the royal squadron, seem never tired
of discussing Valkyrie's chances next
month.

TILLMAN BEAT ST. JOHN.
They Had Debate on Prohibition at
Port Richmond, n. Y.

They Had Debate Prohibition at
Port Richmond, n. Y.
NEW YORK. Aug. 1O-A large crowd
filed the auditorium, Prohibition park,
at Port Richmond, last night to listen to
the DEBATE on "Prohibition" by ex- Gov
ernor John P. ST. John, of Kansas, who
spoke for the system, and United States
Senator B. Tillman, of South Carolina,
opposed it. Ex-Governor St. John de-
clared that the dispensary system was moi
in accord with the laws of the state and
was an evil.
South Carolina had laws, he said, pro-
hibiting crimes the same as other states,
and he did not understand why the state
should permit the sale of liquor, which
was also crime. The speaker com
pared Kansas with South Carolina, show
ing that Kansas had within the past ten
years exceeded that state (South Caro-
lina) in wealth, and claimed that this
was largely due to prohibition.
Senator Tillman said that such a COM
parisOn was unjust Kansas had many
more miles of territory than South Caro-
lima, and with her enormous corn crops
and other enterprises she had a
great advantage, while South
Carolina had always been under a
disadvantage. The state he said today
was paying $2,0OO.0OO annually toward
| the pension of soldiers who assisted in
the war of the confederacy.
! He claimed, however, that South Caro-
lima was prosperous and the people hap
Ply, and that within a few years she
would be on an equal footing with Kan
sas He spoke at length of the benefits
of the dispensary system. He said there
was no doubt that within the next ten
years the prohibitionists would abandon
their prohibtory law, and come out in
favor of the dispensary system.
| The jury gave a verdict by a vote of II
to s in favor of Senator Tillman.
