PROBABLY ANNIE DIaGs
Who Will Succeed James L. King as
State Librarian.

The judges of the supreme court have
decided who will be elected to succeed
James L. King as state librarian next
March, but the official announcement
will not be made until some time next
week
The fact that Mrs. Annie L. Diggs
came to Topeka yesterday in response
to a request from the majority of the
court, indicates that she is to be given
the place. It is said that the judges
have determined to give the place to
Mrs Diggs, although both Chief Justice
Doster and Justice Allen decline to an
swer questions along that line.
The general opinion is that the posi-
ton was rendered Mrs. Diggs yesterday
when she held a brief conference with
Judges Doster and Allen. Soon after
that. one of the judges admitted that
the matter had been disposed of.
The candidate who is endorsed by
majority of the Topeka lawyers for the
place is r. NJ. RUggles, correspondent
for the Kansas City World, who was
sprung as a dark horse and developed
surprising strength. Mr.. Ruggles is
fitted for the place. but Mrs. Diggs'
long party service gives her an advant-
age that will count.

NEW YORK. Nov 80 19-Rumors that
H. Maitland Kersey has resigned as
American agent of the White Star Steam
ship Company were actively circulated in
shipping circles this mornlne, although
a similar rumor early in the week was pro-

successor, and hat his recent trip TO Lon

ceived from the White Star line director.
The stofv this morning was that Mr.. Ker-

that he accepted place as manager of a

EEREkA, Nov. 10 "A. w. Randall
president o: the Randall Banking Com
pany, was arrested at his home at San
Leandro, near Oakland. this forenoon by
Sheriff r. N. Brown of this county on an
indictment found by the Grand Jury
charging him with the misappropriatIon
OF the deposits of the bank PRIOR 10 its
failure last April. The jury returned
three counts, and bail was gwen here Tor
$4,000, $1,000 and $1,000 respectively. and
approved by Judge Wilson. The bonds
men, who qualified in double the amount,
were: William Carson, l. Gilman, l..
Feigenbaum, Josiah Bell, A. L. Crane, S.
+. Balcom and w. F. White. Many old
time friends of Randall refused to 60 on
his bond for any amount.
Randall is sick abed and will not re-
turn here for at least several weeks for
arraignment. Attorneys A. w. Hill and
J. T. Coonan had to work hard 10 get the
bail. 1t is thought that Randall's illness
may prove fatal before the tinal trial OF th e
case.
Immediately after the failure Randall
moved TO San Leandro and took up his
residence. This caused considera ole talk
here. At the time OF the fai ure he con-
veyed all of his property to the bank and
Vice-Pre ,ident Stephen Hill.
ltis expected that more arrests will fol-
low within the next TWO days. Rumor
has 1t that eight Ind dlctments have already
been found against the sank officials.

SOLDIER MELLO HAS NOW
CONFESSED.
Brazilian Naval Officials Connected

BUENOS AYRES, Nov. 19.-Further
discoveries made by the police. coupled
with the written confession by M clio, the
soldier who tried to kill Psesid ent Moraes,
says the Herald's CORE pondent in Rio
Janeiro, Brazil, leave no doubt that the
attempt on the Presidents life was the
result OF a gigantic conspiracy, headed by
many men who held high offices under
the Government.
The revelations made by Mello are
highly important. He gives the names
of many officials who were in the plot,
though these names are carefully with
held. Several more arrests have been
made and all the prisoners kept in close
confinement. Among the last to be
arrested is Deputy Jose Mariana. In re-
ply to a question from Deputy Serzedello
Correia as to why members of the Cham
Der of Deputies were arrested before mar
tial law was established, the Minister o,
Justice has sent note to the President
OF the Chamber stating that the Govern
ment cannot give an explanation until
after the trials of those arrested as con-
sprators.

Steps Taken to Compel Reorganizers

NEW YORK, Nov. ia Washington

has now under consideration the advsa-
biity of qualifying in behalf of the Govern
ment as IA bidder at the sale of he Kansas
Pacific Railroad on Decem Der 15 The
purpose is to compel successful bidders to
pay the full amount of the Government
claim against the road.
Efforts are being made to convince the
administration that the reorganization
committee that bought the Union Pacific
is indifferent about obtaining the Kansas
Pacific. The purpose OF these efforts is to
secure for the committee the opportunity
to recoup itself for the extra price paid for
the Union Pacific.
Senator Harris of Kansas, who has
recently consulted with the Attorney
General and President a bout the matter,
believes the rcoreapiZatlon committee
must bid in the Kansas Pacific, and will
pay the Governments price if compelled
to do so by competition. Acknowledgement
McKenna takes the same view. The in
dications are that the Kansas Pacific will
bring u price equal To the Government
