RIOTS AT PORT ARTHUR
Are Looked For as the Outcome
of a Strike.

Beaumont, Tex, Feb. IA steve
dores strike has brought to a standstin
the expectation of freight by means of
lighters from the Port Arthur export
pier.
The strike was precipitated Monday
because the ship agents refused to pay
40 cents per hour, the wages for similar
work at Galveston and New Orleans,
and there may be rioting before a set
Element is reached. The strikers were
receiving 20 cents per hour for their Ia
Dor and contend that on account of the
irregularity of work they barely make
sufficient to pay the 81 per week held
out of their wages for board.
When the strike came the boss steve
dore announced the intention of secur-
ing negro help. His position is indorsed
by the ship agents, but the citizens, as
We'll as the strikers, protest against the
importation of negro labor. In fact the
ship agents were notified that if negroes
were brought to Port Arthur there
would be trouble. Sheriff Langham was
telephOned for So far efforts to induce
negroes to go to Port Arthur have
proved fruitless, but the ship agents say
they are determined and trouble which
may develop into a riot is expected at
any time.

State Board of Charities VIII
Bring a Test Case
IN SUPREME COURT
To Ascertain What Power Lies
i'm the Railroad Board.
Switching Charges to the Asy-
lum the Bone of Contention.

Frank Shane, secretary of the state
board of charities, stated today that at
the meeting of the board in this city
next Wednesday, steps would be taken
to test in the supreme court the power
of the railroad commissioners. Manda-
mus proceedings will be commenced by
the attorney general to compel the
Rock Island company to switch coal to
the asylum and reform school at the
rates recently declared by the commits
sioners to be reasonable.
When the Rock Island company re-
fused a week go to haul the coal from
the yards in North Topeka to the asy-
lum unless paid in advance the rate de-
manded, it was at first decided to bring
mandamus proceedings to compel the
road to haul the supplies, but later At
tOrney General Boyle held that the
more reasonable course would be to pay
the rate asked by the company and att
erward bring suit for Overcharge. The
officers of the board of charities were
Informed of this latter decision, but they
refused to pay the increased rate in ad-,
vance and Instructed the asylum auth
critics to provide for the delivery of the
coal with teams. This was done, and
for the past week fOuT-hOTse teams
have been employed in hauling the coal
from the cars in North Topeka to the
asylum. On account of the condition of
the roads the loads have necessarily
been light, and the supply of coal at the
asylum has run very short.
Mr.. Shane said today that the board
had decided that if the railroad COM
nissiOners had power to control rail-
roads it was time such power was dem
onstrated. The test case will be SINH
lar to the Emporia case, in which Judge
Randolph decided that the commission
ers did not have authority to dictate
the action of the railroads. That case,
however, was brought in the district
court, while the test case brought by
the board will be in the court of last
resort in this state.
The commissioners decided that 81 per
car for switching coal to the asylum
and 50 per car for switching coal to the
reform school were reasonable rates.
The railroad demands 60 cents per ton,
which amounts to from $40 to $14 per
car.

LAWS FOE ALASKA.
Senate Committee Reports House
Bill With Important Amend
mAnfs

Washington, Feb. Ex-senator Carter
from the senate committee on public
lands has reported favorably the house
bill granting right-Of-Way to railroads
and extending the homestead laws in
Alaska, with amendments made by the
senate committee. The amendments of
the senate limit to forty acres the
amount of land to be taken unless the
land is strictly agricultural, the object
being to prevent a monopoly by an in
dividual of valuable sites.
No homestead shall limit or abridge
the free navigation of the waters of the
territory. Purchase of land for can
nerles and trading posts are limited to
forty acres, the government reserving
the right after 20 years to purchase any
railroad, wagon road or tramway for it's
actual cash value. The HansbFough
amendment regarding the bonding priv
1Iege has been made part of the bill.
Senator Garter has introduced and
with few changes in language only,
the committee on territories will report
a bill for the government of Alaska.
It provides for charging the powers OF
the governor in some respects. Three
courts. are established each under a
judge holding for four years with the
United States court officers. The judge
of the court may appoint United States
commissioners, which shall have the
powers of justices of the peace in Ore
gon, with Jurisdiction over cases up to
$1,000 The theory of the commissioners
ment will be provided for every mining
community. Efforts were made to have
some regulation made in the latter bill
or IN the right of way bill licensing the
sale OIL hquor in the territory, but it is
not provided for in either measure.

FUNSTON FOR GOVERNOR.
He Effects a Combination With Jack
Harris.

Ex-Congressman E. H. Funston of
Anderson county is a candidate for gov
ernor on the Republican ticket Mr.
Funston has not officially announced
his intentions to the public but he has
told his friends he will be a candidate
and has men at work in his interests
throughout the state.
Some months ago the Journal publish
ed a statement to the effect that there
would, at the proper time, be a move
ment inaugurated by the farmer Re
publicanS to secure the nomination for
governor.
It was believed at the time that A.
W. Smith of Mcpherson would be the
man selected by representatives of that
faction of the party to make the fight,
but Mr.. Smith held a conference with
some Topeka Republican friends yes
terday and it is understood that he will
not be a candidate, but will get out of
the way and go to work for Farmer
Funston.
Mr.. FunstOn's candidacy for governor
produces a new condition in the con-
It means that Jack Harris and Mr..
Funston have effected a combination,
and this is not denied, by which Mr..
Funston delivers his forces to Harris
for congress, the latter taking his
friends to Funston for governor.
There has been a strong sentiment
among Funston's friends to have him
make the race for congress, but Jack
Harris was defeated after securing the
nomination two years ago. and he was
very anxious to have another trial AS
a result the two men have pooled their
interests and the fight is on.

Bob Semple. chief clerk in the bank

have discovered two more frauds. They
are in regard to work for which money
was paid under that administration.
The executive council of the Morrill,
administration let a contract for plac-
ing two storm doors in the basement of
the capitol building, amounting to ST.

show that the money was paid the con-
tractors, but the work was never per-
formed.
Another contract was let for putting
in five maple wood windows in the gov

tract was also paid. Investigation
shows that the windows are of ordina-

difference would amount to about $40O
