So George Brown, alias Denver
Kid" an all round colored thug, ex-
pressed himself before Judge Hazen in
the district court this morning. Brown
was one of the men who made his es-
cape from the county stone yard by
breaking a hole through the brick wall
two weeks ago, and this morning he de-
cided to plead guilty to
Jail breaking and go to
the penitentiary with Sheriff Keep
ley's string tomorrow. When Judge
Hazen asked him if he had anything to
say before sentence of the court should
be pronounced upon him, the above
was what he said.
Il will give you 10 months in the PEN
itentiary," said Judge Hazen and
Sheriff Kepley.
Brown was the second criminal to
plead guilty in the district court this
morning William King, one of the
colored boys who broke into a box car
in the Santa Fe yards several weeks
ago, entered the same plea to larceny,
and was sentenced to one year in the
penitentiary. The two boys who were
with King refused to plead guilty.
With the addition of Brown and King,
Sheriff Kepley will have 10 prisoners to
take to Lansing tomorrow. He will
leave with the men on the early Union
Pacific train tomorrow morning.

NOT ONLY RAILROADS
But Labor Organizations May be
Reached by the Transmissouri
Decision.

New York, March 26.-The far-reach-
ing effect of the United States supreme
courts decision in the Transmissiour
Freight association case is beginning
to dawn upon persons interested in pools
and combinations of various sorts. The
view grows general that the supreme
court has struck a vital blow at every
form of trust and combination under
the terms of the Sherman antitrust
law, which is sustained by the decision.
They say the combination among the
anthracite coal producing and carry
ing companies, commonly called the
coal trust is illegal. 1t is claimed that
freights on hard coal are the highest
on any commodity in the country. This
toll is fixed by the combination.
Another big combine which, it is
claimed, runs counter to this decision
of the supreme court, is the pooling ar
rangement between the Gneral Electric
and the Westinghouse Electric COM
panieS.
Frederick w. Whitridge, counsel for
the reorganization committee of the
Reading railroad, speaking of the SUI
preme court decision, said: IF it is
penal offense under the Sherman law
for railroads to pool traffic, how about
the labor Organizations-the Knights of
Labor, the American Railroad union,
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi-
neers and Firemen, and the other rail-
road labor organizations?

STATUE OF VANDERBILT.
The Commodore Has Been Done in
Bronze By Moretti.

New York, March 26.-Moretti, the no
ted italian sculptor, has just compile
ted a magnificent bronze statue of the
late Cornelius Vanderbilt for the cam
pus of Vanderbilt university at Nash
vile, of which institution he was the
founder. 1t shows Vanderbilt standing
erect in a favorite pose, with one hand
hanging loosely at his side and the 9TH
er partially tucked in the front of his
waistcoat- Except for the stock collar
and loosely knotted neckScarf, he is
CARRIED as a well dressed man of today.
The strong, handsome face with its
deep and firm lines has been carefully
preserved.
Frederick Wand William K. Wander
examined the sculpture, as has also DR..
Chauncey NJ. Depew, and all are united
in declaring that the bronze is a most
characteristic likeness.
A handsome pedestal of light granite
designed in classic style and bearing an
appropriate inscription, will support
the statue. The pedestal is nine and
One-half feet in height, with base six
feet six inches square. This statute is
the only figure of Commodore Wander
bilt in existence. To obtain the like
ness which every one who knew Mr..
Vanderbilt and who has seen the stat
ue, pronounces perfect, Sculptor Moret-
ii has examined all of the best portraits
of the commodore in existence. The
statue will be unveiled at Nashville in
MAY.

last year British consols showed break
of 5-16 Indicating that the foreign Situa-
ton was again considered threa tening.
This in fact was about the only sustain
ing influence the market had Trading,
however, was too slow and narrow for it
to have any material effect. May opened

Notwithstanding consols declined and
there was no better news from fields.
1t looked like a, high fence with a. mig

purpose of depressing this market and

making five ports cleared from. There
was fair inquiry for milling wheat here;
10000 bushels were sold, and some in
quiry at Kansas City reported. The
Missouri crop report advanced figures,
which were given as So per cent, against
n per cent last month, and the reiter-
ated damage reports from northern
Missouri, southern Illinois and north
ern Indiana, emphasized by buying or
derS in the winter wheat markets, which
markets in turn sent their orders here,
is making more converts to the belief
that these states are again going to be
short of their winter wheat crop as here
tofore intimated, which markets are like
ly to show strength. Baltimore reports

to this and was also bulliSh on cash sit
uation and demand for flour at nearly
all southern points buying All the u4y
has been of good character and mainly
by commission houses who did not
sell on the advance. There seems to be
little uneasiness again regarding Eng
lands attitude and whatever cOmphcay-
tions might ensue, we believe the news

rant belief in damage and keeping On
buying side.
CORN-Steady and quiet, Influenced
somewhat by wheat receipts being
small and estimates for tomorrow the
same. Clearances large again S55, O00-
OATS-Were fairly bought by COM
mission houses when they could be OBJ
tanned at tic. There is still a bearish
feeling among local traders who look at
the stock and lack of demand and the
fact that the east is supplied.
PROVISIONS-CaSh trade was good.
Speculative trading ruled light with
some selling supposed to be for packing
interests. Buying was mainly by sellers
of yesterday. Receipts of hogs under
ran and only 5000 estimated for to-
morrow, but these are not considered
significant as condition of roads make
them small of necessity.-F. G. Logan.

DESTROY MEXICAN TRADE.
a. B. Hulit Tells the Z. c. CONNER
cial Club of the Effect of the
DingleY Bill

Kansas City, March ga. B. Hulit
of Topeka, a representative of the In
ternational Trade association, of which
Thomas Ryan, formerly United States
minister to Mexico, is president, ap-
peared before the directors of the Com
mercial club this morning to present
the question of reciprocity with Mexico.
The tariff measure now under discus
sion in congress, Mr.. Hulit says, gives
the president power to make as favor
able treaties with the Latin American
countries the interests of the west re-
quire.
Mr.. Hulit says of the tariff bill:
IF it passes as it is now drawn it
will greatly injure our trade with Mex
leo, whereas, we believe it is to the in
tereSt of this portion of the United
States to stimulate trade with Mexico
Kansas City is the center for Mexican
trade, and that is why think Kansas
City is interested most in getting a
clause favorable to the Mexican trade
in the tariff bill.
Oranges. cattle, vanilla and fine
woods are most important of our i'm
ports from Mexico. Under favorable
conditions we can sell them greater
quantities of corn, hogs, butter, pota-
toes and cotton goods. The Mexicans
will follow our example. If We put a
high tariff on their exports they VIII
do as much on what they buy from u.s.
Experience has shown, and know it is
the temper of the Mexican people, that
if we show disposition to trade with
them they will encourage our trade At
present the balance of trade is against
us, but that is largely because we have
not cultivated business relations with
them, and it takes time to change the
tariff laws in that country.
"They had an interstate tariff and or
dered it abolished two years ago, but
it was only a few months ago that the
outlook for increased trade with Mex
leo is good if it can be encouraged
