New York. May 3.-President Seth Low
of Columbia university. Captain A. T. Ma
han, U. S. N, and Frederick w. Holz, the
American delegates to the peace confer
ence at The Hague, sailed today on the
American liner St. Louis. President Low

hundred students of Columbia. Mr.. Low

that he was proud to be appointed to such
a high position and that he hoped that
much good to the civilized nations would
come out of the disarmament congress.
Captain Mahan said the main point the
American delegation would endeaVOr to
get the representatives of the other ma
tionS to agree to would be to stop privateer-
ing and exempt merchant vessels not car
rying contra band of from seizure.
As to the disarmament he said that the
United States could not be classed with
European countries. which keep millions
of men under arms in time of peace.

LAWYER TROUBLE.
Saline County Attorney Appeals to
Supreme Court

One of the first cases to come up be-
fore the supreme court at the May term
was disbarment case, which was ar
gued Tuesday afternoon. It is appeal
ed from the district court of Saline
county, which diSbarred w. A. Norris
then county attorney of the county,
from practicing law.
Mr.. Norris is a Populist, and the case
against him was pushed by H. N.
Gaines, editor of the Salina Union, and
state superintendent of public instruc-
ton under the Lewelling administra-
ton. Norris was charged with using
his office to bring petty criminal cases
and then settling them out of court to
his own financial advantage. A hard
fought trial in the court below resulted
in the disbarment of Mr.. Norris His
attorneys appealed the case and an
opinion will probably be rendered by
the supreme court next month.

The neighbor explained that he had
ordered Craig out of the house and that
he would not go. When the officers ar
rived at the scene of the trouble they
found Craig repairing a puncture in a
bicycle tire. He was told by the Off
GERS to leave the house. He refused:
Craig stands something like six feet and
more and weighs close to 200 pounds
The officers saw they would have trou-
BILE in getting him out. He talked and
threatened in a manner to scare a per-
son of ordinary nerve but officer Lucas
calmly drew a 44-calibre revolver, toyed
pleasantly with it, remarked that he
wanted no trouble or talk and the man
rode down to the police station as docile
as a lamb.

JUDGE w. V. ALLEN
Has Commenced to Administer Law
Instead of Making It.

Chadron, Neb., May 3.-Judge VIM. v.
Allen, ex-senator from Nebraska, has
ordered First Lieutenant and Adjutant
General Langhorne of the First United
States cavalry, stationed at FIT. Robin,
son, to appear before the district court
May 80 to answer to the charge of con-
tempt of court. The question is one of
the jurisdiction of the civil or military
authorities and arises from the arrest
by the Dawes county sheriff of two
United States troopers on a charge of
house breaking. Lieutenant Langhorne,
who had ordered the men arrested for
desertion, claimed the civil authorities
had overstepped their authority, but
Judge Allen holds otherwise

WESTERN MAN, SPEAKER
Congressman Calderhead Talks
About Position of Kansas
Delegation.

The attitude which the Kansas dele
CATION in congress will assume in the
contest for speaker of the house to sue
ceed Speaker Reed is the subject of
considerable speculation among polite
fans at present. A Washington dis
patch states that Congressman Charles
Curtis will call a meeting of the Kan
sas congressman in Topeka soon after
he returns from the east to decide
whom Kansas will support.
Mr.. Curtis has been at Washington
and Atlantic City for the past three
weeks attending meeting of the special
committee appointed to frame fnan-
ciaI bill to be introduced as a Republi-
can measure in the next congress. 1t
Is alleged that he is personally in favor
of Sherman of New York for the speak
ership. but his friends do not believe
that he has announced himself for any
one. Mr.. Curtis and Mr.. Sherman have
been associated on the committee on
Indian affairs in congress, of which
Mr.. Sherman is chairman and Mr.. Cur
tbs is the second member. The report
that Mr.. Curtis is deSirouS of the ele-
walton of Mr.. Sherman to the speaker
ship probably emanateS from the fact
that this would leave the craftsmanship
of the Indian committee vacant and
Mr.. Curtis would in all proba ability sue
ceed to it.
Congressman Calderhead of the Fifth
district, is in Topeka today and in dis
cussing the speakership matter said:
I do not know who the Kansas dele
cation will be for, but presume it will
be some western man. When the pro-
per time comes 1 suppose Mr.. Curtis
will cIa a conference of the Kansas
Republican members to consider the
matter. Whether we will vote as a unit
not depends upon whether we agree
upon one man. The Illinois delegation
has declared for Hopkins and the Iowa
delegation has declared for Henderson,
so 1 suppose if the western members
are to elect a speaker 1t will lie be-
tween those two men. The first thing
will be to decide if there are enough
western congressman to elect a speak
er and if we find there are, then we
can pick out the man.
Payne and Sherman are both men
toned in New York for the place, and
If they are both candidates there will
be a sharp contest between them for
the support of the east.
Il have not heard any of the other
Kansas members express any prefer
ence in the matter, but we will get to-
gether and talk over the best interests
of the state in due time
Postmaster John Guthrie, who stands
closer to Mr.. Curtis than almost any
other man, says he does not believe
that Mr.. Curtis will call a meeting of
the Kansas congressman when he re-
turns for the east
1T is entirely too early for anybody
20 pledge their support to any candi-
dates for speaker" said Judge Guthrie
today, "and Mr.. Curtis realizes it. I
don't believe he would call a meeting of

TRAINLOAD COTTON
Passes Over the Santa Fe From Okla
homa En- Route For Japan.

Wichita, May 3.-Eighteen carloads of
cotton passed through this city yester-
day over the Santa F'e from Oklahoma
en- route to Japan. 1t was the second
trainload of the same product in two
days.
The product was a strictly Oklahoma
production and was purchased at diff
ferent points through the territory by
an eastern exporting firm and billed di-
rect to Japan.

of fourteen cars passed through Wich-

Francisco and thence to foreign ports.
The corn was graded the best No. 2

cific side of the isthmus. The road is
in such condition as will not necessitate
many repairs, and as there are 1922
bridges, mostly of wood, on the line,
they will have to be replaced with steel
structures. 1t is now believed that a
first class road across the isthmus will
be had. 1t was this line which Hunting
ton wished to purchase, and had it
passed into his hands it would doubt
less long ago have been put in excellent
condition.
