PLEASED WITH EASTMAN'S PLAN


Kansas Doctors Approve OF His Method Of
Reducing Insanity and Crime.
TOPEKA, Kan, May l5-In a paper
before the Kansas State Medical So
ciety, DR.. D. B. Eastman, who has spent
a lifetime in the study Of insanity
and is now superintendent of the state
insane asylum here, advanced some
startling, but, the physicians who
heard them say, sensible ideas about
the stamping ont of criminals and
detectives. The whole trouble, the
doctor believes, lies in heredity, and If
this cause be stopped, then crime, If
not stopped entirely, will be at least
reduced to the minimum. This will,
however, take education and great
many years. "We continue to care
for our criminals and detectives"
he says, carefully, and then
liberate them to injure So
ciety again and establish tainted
offspring. To prevent the marriage of
criminals and detectives and those who
have inherent tendencies would result
in great improvement of the human
race" The doctors thought SO well of
this that they will investigate it more
fully and ask that state and national
laws be made in accordance with the
IDEAS advanced in the paper.

CULVER HAVING TROUBLE.


Kansas Grain Inspector finds Difficulty In
Enforcing the New Inspection LAW.
TOPEKA, Kan, May l7.--State Grain
Inspector Culver Is having much trou-
BILE in getting his department into
working order under the new inspec-
ton law. The grain dealers are buck.
ing, the railroads have refused to COM
ply with certain provisions of the law,
and the state inspectors are not receiv-
ing their salaries with charming
regularity When the law was
passed the claim was made
that 1t would net the state about $780,
900 annually. The state has been run
ming things for month now and State
Inspector Culver Saturday said that
the deputy inspectors and weighmasters
had not come anywhere near col
lecting enough fees for inspect
ing to meet their salaries. Gov.
Leedy gave Culver $500 out of
his contingent fund to be used for that
purpose. The railroads have SO far re-
fused to comply with that section Of
the law which requires them to pay
the inspection fee and collect 1t from
the consignee. They declare they are

TERMS OF PEACE.
The Porte Replies to the Note Pre-
scented by the Powers.
DEMANDS OF TURKEY EyORBITAy1.
1t Ia Regarded - Quite Certain That the
Powers VIII Not Consent to Them
King George Likely to
Abdicnte.

CONBTANTINOPLE, May l7.-Ihe p0rte
has replied officially to the note Of the
powers, and declines to agree to an
armistice until the following condi-
lions are accepted: The annexation OF
Thessaly, an indemnity Of $50, 900, 600
and the abolition Of the capitulations.
The porte proposes that plenipoten-
tiaries Of the powers should meet at
Pharsalos TO discuss the terms Of peace,
and declares that II these conditions
are declined, the Turkish army will
continue TO advance. The demands
for the annexation of Thessaly Is based
upon the fact that the province was
originally coded to Greece on the ad-
advice Of the powers with the object
OF ending brigandage and Greek incur.
sions into Ottoman territory, the porte
believing ut the time that cession
would attain these objects, but the re.
cent incursions OF Greek bands and the
events Immediately preceding the war
have proved to the contrary. This Is
the substance OF the reply.
The ambassadors met yesterday to
consider the porte's answer which is
regarded as raising an extremely grave
issue. 1t Is believed that representa-.
tions will be made to the sultan per.
sonally to induce o modification OF
these terms, but it is foreseen that this
will be very difficult, owing TO the atti-
tude of the powerful old Turkish war
party. II the porte should prove obdu-
rate European conference is not i'm.
probable, although at present Russia
is opposed to this. 1t is regarded as
quite certain that the powers will not
consent to u retrocession of Thessaly.
Even Germany is believed to be reso-
lutte on this point, because 1t would in.
volve violation Of the Berlin treaty
and imperll the peace of the Balkans.
The preposterous terms proposed by
the porte must be regarded as the nat
ural ana usual method OF oriental par
gaining. They would not be serious
ana they not force II continuance OF the
lighting. With the failure OF the Greek
dash in Epirus there is no chance to
make a further stand unless ut Their
mopyl@, which, by virtue OF Its natural
conditions, Isl an immensely strong posi-
tion, from which the Turks would have
the greatest difficulty in dislodging the
Greeks. AT Domokos the Greek troops
must be suffering severely from the
heavy rains, as they have no tents.
The capture or evacuation OF the town
is only a question of a few days. The

CHEYENNE, Wyo, May 7.-Lieut.
Crittenden, the government engineer
to choose sites for government reser-

selected the great natural basin lying

rivers will be tapped and it will take
between five and six years to fill the
basin. Enough water can be stored to
keep the entire part of Wyoming and

during dry seasons. The water will

WILD DOGS KILLING SHEEP.



her Of Nebraska Counties.
0NEI.L, Neb., May l7.-Wild dogs
have been creating havoc for some
time with sheep swine and young
cattle in Holt, Boyd and adjoining Ne
braska counties. Several years ago
wolves were very troublesome in the
locality, and many farmers purchased
sheep dogs to protect their flocks. As
the wolvesgrew fewer the dogs received
less and less attention. In many
cases they were insuilclently fed, un.
til they finally returned practically to
the wild state. They have multiplied
rapidly and are now veritable pest
oil over the north central counties.
They are stronger than the wolves IND
work infinitely more mischief.
