Think of it, he continued almost

Lots of the rnilitiamen will fail to

because they are too young. What use
have those men for uniforms and

Why should the militiamen who en-

uniforms?" asked the reporter.
Here Mr.. Allen grew angry again.
He replied hotly:
Because the organization of the new
regiments disbands the guard and the
members of the latter organization

Importation of Manila Straw and Mil

New York, April 2S.-One effect of the

of the importation of straw goods from
Manila and OF millinery goods generally
from the Spanish ports
Fortunately for the importers of Ma
Mia straw goods the importationS or

prolonged into next fall, however, this
trade, it is believed, will suffer serious

States appraisers stores do not expect
to handle any more straw articles from
Spanish ports for the next five months
at least.
Work in some of the divisions of the
appraisers department at this port is
certain to be made exceedingly light be-
cause of the war. There are many ar
ticles imported from South American
ports usually in American or Spanish
vessels, which are likely to be inter-

effects of the war more than any other

fruits, nuts and oils are handled by

MORE DIFFICULTY FOUND
In the Way of Appropriating That
$4,000 for the Volunteers.

Serious trouble may be experienced
in paying the immediate expenses of
the Kansas volunteers after they are
recruited at the various stations.
Assistant State Auditor Taylor with
the concurrence of State Auditor Nor
ris, who is now confined to his home by
illness, states that not a dollar of the
$40, 900 appropriated for the state mil
tia by the last legislature can be used
in paying the expenses of the VOlun-
teers. He says that the law states ex-
plicitly that the money can be used
only for '-suppressing riot, preventing
mob violence or repelling invasion and
the organization of the volunteers is
for none of these purposes.
On the other hand Attorney General
Boyle states that the money can be used
under the provision ''repelling inva-
sion,' and that he will issue an opinion
to this effect if necessary
When informed of Mr.. Boyle's opin-
ion, Assistant Auditor Taylor replied
that an opinion from Attorney Boyle
would not save the officers of the aud
iting department from the penitentiary
If they issue a voucher not explicitly
authorized by law. He insisted that
the money could not be used and that
Vouchers would not be issued.
There is no other fund available, with
the exception of the governors and ad-
jutant generals contingent funds, for
defraying the expenses of the Volun-
teers. The two contingent funds only
amount to $500.
An order from the war department
states that all expenses of recruiting
volunteers will be borne by the govern

failing to recognize the guards and
stripping them of uniforms and equip

The Sons of Veterans are particu-

Wichita last week the Sons of Veterans
telegraphed their services to Leedy in
the event of war and the governor wired
what is regarded as an acceptance of
the service rendered. Later officers of
the organization called on the governor
and presented the matter at length.
As the Sons of Veterans guard is no
part of the K. n. c., being the uni
formed branch of that loyal organiza-
ton, no reason can be assigned for cal
