ANOTHER RECESS TAKEN.
Kansas Doodle investigation Waiting
on n Decision by the Su-
preme Court.

Topeka, Kas., April 29-(SpeciaD The
supreme court to-day decided that there
was a valid reason why it should hear the
application of Representative t. Clark
Davis for his release from custody of
the legislative investigating committee on
4 writ of habeas corpus. and notified Ser
geant-at-Arms Forrest to produce the
prisoner in court next Tuesday morning.
AT that time argument will be made on
the legality of the resolution appointing
the committee, and a ruling will be Sc
cured defining the committees powers.
The committee decided that it was not
worth while to try to hold any inquiry
until this question was settled, and an
adjournment was taken until one week
from Tuesday. The members of the COM
mittee and all the witnesses have gone
home. Before leaving, Chairman Outcalt
paid off the witnesses for their mileage
and per diem up to date. The governor
gave the committee another $500 out of
his contingent fund to meet the expenses
This makes $500 which he has supplied In
case the court decides that the committee
has power to sit and compel the attend
ance of witnesses. the legislative appro-
priation becomes available May 10. so the
governor will not be required to spend any
more money out of his private fund.

San Francisco. April 29.-According TO ad-
vices by steamer this morning. the Japan
ese government is aroused over the refusal
of the Hawaiian government to permit
Shinshiu Maru immigrants to land there,
and has ordered warships to Honolulu to
enforce what the Japanese immigrants con-
slider their rights. The foreign Office in
structed Hiogo Kencho at Kobe on the 9th
inst. to stop departure of immigrants for
these islands at once.
Grave complications have arisen, accord
ing to Japanese official newspapers, over
the action of the United States government
in sending the Philadelphia to Honolulu.
Japanese official organs claim that the
cruiser has been sent as a menace to the
Japanese government and that the action
is significant in that it foretells annexation
of the islands to the United States.
Japanese official newspapers are full OF
war talk The Chuwo states that a tele-
gram has been received by the japanese
authorities to the effect that England has
sent an intimation to the United States
government that she objects to the intend
ed annexation by the latter of the Ha.
waiian republic. The Sekai No Nifon says
that a series of telegraphic communica

SimnIc breakfasts.

The Scotch make oat porridge the princi-
pal part of their breakfast, and this habit
of the sturdy race is coming into quite
general favor in America. Some fruit and
grain with hot cup of Postum Cereal
and bread and butter is an ideal break
fast.
Coffee hurts many people in ways they
do not suspect.
Any disorder of the stomach, bowels,
kidneys paipitation of the heart, weak

Coffee and tobacco are powerful drugs
and directly affect the nervous system.
Quit the cause of the disorder and nature
will generally heal up the affected parts.
Postum Cereal made by the Postum Ger
cal Co., Lin, of Battle Creek. Mich, is a

IN A QUANDARY.
The Park missiOners' Brains Are
Working With Great Velocity
These Sprinr DAYS.

The park commissioners are doing pow
erful lot of thinking these days, and they
are confronted with the difficulty of not
knowing exactly along what line they
want to think the hardest. 1t is evident
that they are figuring on some modifica-
ton of their plans, as was outlined in The
Journal yesterday morning. but as to which
of the several plans proposed will be the
best and most feasible they are divided
and uncertain. The board met again yes
terday afternoon. ard. after going before
the finance committee. took another trip
over to the West terrace. Some of the
members of the board were in favor of cut
ting off the southern portion of the West
terrace for the present. but other members
are very much opposed to the idea. One
difficulty which confronts the board is the
fact that the West terrace plans cannot
be modified in the slightest degree without
repeating the ordinance as it now stands
and beginning all over again. Those men,
bers who oppose any change in the plans
say to do this would give the objectors a
foothold and an opportunity to oppose any
park on the West terrace at all, which
might delay proceedings for years.
