SIR HENRY IRVING ILL.
Forced to Give Up His Part in "Robes-
pierre" For a Week.

London, May 15.-Sir Henry Irving,
whose recent work in the title role of
Sardou's drama "Robespierre,' at the
Lyceum theater, has been exceedingly
trying, was taken seriously i'll this
morning with an affection of the
throat.
Dr. Farr, a specialist, was Immediate
ly summoned, and, as the result of his
advice, it is announced that Sir Hen
rvs part during the present week will
be taken by his son. Lawrence. Law
renee Irving is Sir Henry's understudy
in several notable roles.
The announcement of the illness
brought a large number of professional
callers to Sir Henry Irvings residence
in Grafton street, but his medical ad-
wiser has forbidden him to receive any
one a t present.
1t is hoped that, with complete rest,
he will be restored to his usual health
by the end of the week.

COXEY PRAISES TRUSTS.
He Says the Combinations of Capital
Are Blessing.

Chicago, May 15-"General'' Jacob s
Coxey of Massillon, O., is in Chicago
for the purpose of negotiating a sale of
molding sand to the steel trust and to
prepare for the missionary tour which
he will make throughout the west dur
ing the coming autumn with the object
of educating the people on the subject
of his scheme for non-interest- bearing
bonds. For this mission of educa ton
the general will use the train and the
mammoth tent which are so we'll
known to the people of Ohio, Kentucky
and southern Indiana and Michigan.
The man who defied the powers of or
ganized authority to drive him off the
grass plat Surrounding the national
capitol says that in his opinion the
present epidemic of trust formation is
by no means a thing to be feared. On
the contrary, he says, that it is but
step in the process of evolving public
from private ownership.
The general explains his theory as
follows: I'm many ways 1 believe the
future will show that the organization
of so-called trusts has been a blessing
Their existence demonstrates the fact
that the entire control of any industry
can be centered under one head. Wages
are raised and cutthroat competition is
abolished. When it is conclusively
shown that one man or set of men
can manage an entire industry. then
it will be time for the people to step
in and secure its control The promo
ters of trusts will be considered public
benefactors in due time. The present
opinion that they are enemies to labor
and society will then be displaced
"Of course, in this theory 1 find room
for my scheme for nom n-intereSt-bearing
bonds. At the present time public own
ership of utilities is out of the range of
possibilities in most instances because
by the purchase of plants the constitu-
tionaT limit of bonded indebtedness
would be exceeded. By my plan no ad-
ditional burden would be imposed upon
the. taxpayer and the income derived
from the management of the industry
would ultimately retire the bonds.''

WANG Loo DISTURBED.
he Shoots at His Tormentors But
Misses.

Dick Bell and Fess Wilson were ar
rested Saturday night by officers Ber-
nard and Bundy for disturbing the
peace and being drunk
For several days Wilson and Bell had
been disturbing Wang Lee, who runs
a Chinese laundry on East Fifth street
across from the postoff1ce. young
man was passing the laundry and the
Chinaman called to him. While the man
was standing in the door talking to the
Chinaman. Wilson and Bell, who had
been waiting in the alley, stepped up
behind the young man. Wilson walks
with a cane. Bell took the cane,
reached over the young man and struck
at the Chinaman. The Chinaman drew
his revolver and fired.
Officer Bernard was standing at the
corner of Fifth and Kansas avenue and
ran to the laundry in time to see VIII
son and Bell going up the alley. He
caught Bell and brought him back to
the laundry. Bundy was in the station
and he heard the shot and reached the
Wilson Bell was drunk and surly. He
fought and resisted arrest. Bernard
threw him down in the gutter and
struck him with his club. Then Bell got
up and was taken to the station The
blood was flowing from the cut on his
head and his face was covered with
blood. His collar and shirt were soaked.
When the station was reached a doctor
was called. but Bell would not allow
him to do anything for him. Both were
locked up Wilson furnished bond after
a night in Jail, but Bell is still behind
the bars.

That Seems to Be the Position
of Insurance Men.
Adopted New Schedule But
Afraid to PrOmulgate 1t.
OF NO CONSEQUENCE.
New Rates Apparently Little
More Than a Bluff.
Was Grand Stand Play From
Beginning to End.

Despite denia1s to the contrary made
by S. f. Woolard of Wichita the meet
ing of insurance men at Kansas CITY
last week did adopt and agree to pro-
mulgate a schedule of reduced rates
for the insurance of farm and other
property in Kansas.
The new schedule extends only to
preferred business and to farm property
and contains no special advantages for
business men or property owners either
in the country or in cities.
General Agent Sikkema, of ST. Louis,
representing the German of Freeport
was present at the Kansas City meet
ing. When G. A. Bailey of Topeka pre-
sented the proposed schedule of reduc-
tions, Mr.. Sikkema was ready to pro-
test against it. He compared the new
figures on property with the old, then
said:
This new schedule will raise the
rates on property. 1 am satisfied with
it and will cheerfully agree to 1t.
This schedule which Mr.. Woolard
said was not adopted is prepared as a
reduction Of the minimum tariff or
basis rates" The proposed reduction
was so defined in Governor Stanley S
letter to Mr.. Woolard, suggesting the
reduction. Woolard however first sug-
gested the plan to the governor.
However, this proposed schedule will
not go into effect, because, as told in
the Journal last week, it is a technical
violation of the Kansas antitrust law.
This combination of rates is by lawyers
said to be illegal as the minimum
tariff or the ClarkSOn rates which were
abandoned because of the antitrust
law.
At a meeting of Insurance men held
in Kansas City at the Coates house,
Saturday night, it was decided that it
would be unwise to attempt to promul-
gate this new schedule because it is
a violation of the Kansas antitrust
law"
Then it is also said that Attorney
General GODDARD will prosecute the au-
thor of this agreement, as he is re-
quired to do by the antitrust law. Mr..
GODDARD might not desire, as a political
proposition, to oppose the governor s
plans, but the law specifies that in the
event he should refuse to SO proceed,
he shall forfeit his office
The law also provides that the char
ter of Kansas insurance companies
shall be forfeited upon entering such a
combination on rates. For these rea-
sons, it is said, the Shawnee Fire has,
through Secretary ]. w. Going, declined
to become a party to the agree
ment. The Springfield Fire and
Marine, the Continental, and other COM
panies decline to enter the agreement.

HAS WRITTEN A BOOK.
Miss Kelly Prepared the Manuscript
Before She Left Topeka.

Miss Emma Leonidas Kelly, who left
Topeka early in May on her return trip
to the Klondike, was detained in San
Francisco on account of the sickness
of one of the party and will not reach
the gold fields before the last of May.
Miss Kelly was engaged by Lippin-
colts magazine to write article on
Klondike. which she completed before
she left home. 1t will probably appear
next month. During her stay in To-
peka last winter Miss Kelly wrote of
her trip and experiences. Her writing
will make book of 10000 words. Ma
jor Inman is interested in seeing it

SAYS JOINTS ARE HERE.
Governor Stanley Talked to Epworth
Leaguers Last Night.

The Epworth league of the Methodist
church held an anniversary celebration
services. The principal address was de-
livered by Governor Stanley, and it was
somewhat of surprise to the large
congregation which was present. The
governor commended the work of the
league and pronounced it a gloriously
grand organization. He then said
This league has noble motto: Look
up: lift up.' But where is it?'' He
looked around the church, but the mot
to was not in sight Il am sorry said
the governor, that the motto is not
here. This is the first time L ever at
tended a celebration of this kind and
found the motto missing" Then the
governor took up the principal theme
of his address. He said: This league
is doing a grand work, but 1 want to
ask: Do we bring in new members for
the benefit of the member or the league? :?
Do we lift up? How many times dur
ing the last year have the members of
this organization reached down and
lifted up some man or woman? How
many times has the hand of mercy been
. extended? Look at this magnificent
audience of young men and women.
What a power! What an influence for
good in Topekai Do they think of the
man or the league? Man is worth more
than the organization. The number of
young men 1 see when 1 walk down
the streets of Topeka astounds me.
have never seen so many young men
on the streets in the evenings after
business hours or at the noon hour. All
seem to be engaged in work of some
kind.
What an influence for good these
young men would be were they at work
with US! They need the influence of
Christian workers, too. They would
live happier and better, even in Topeka
This is a clean and holy city, but there
are joints and gambling helIs here, just
as there are in other towns in Kansas
which are dragging the young men
down. This is the opportunity for the

BRYAN WILL NOT SPEAK.
Invitation to Address Students of the
Agricultural College Withdrawn.

The Republican majority of the board
of regents for the state agricultural
college has withdrawn the invitation
which William J. Bryan had accepted
to deliver the commencement address
to the college graduates in June. The
invitation had been extended by Pres
ident Will.
OF course it was a political move for
Will to invite Bryan but it was a nom
partisan spirit which prompted the
withdrawal Of the invitation AT least
this is the logic which is followed by
the Republican politicians
Many Republican politicians who are
afraid to say so openly and for publi-
cation are denouncing Stanley'S regents
without reserve, but the regents are
not to be blamed so much as they
simply carried out the instructions re-
ceived from Governor Stanley.
The following resolution was adopted
by strictly party vote:
Whereas The former board of re-
gents invited Hon William Jennings
Bryan to deliver the commencement
address at the agricultural college in
June, and
Whereas, The present board of re-
gents are opposed to giving this occa-
sion political significance, we are op-
posed to his coming, and we request
that some gentleman not recognized as
a politician be invited to make the ad-

Mrs. St. John. The resolution was
therefore declared carried.
Regent Carl Vrooman is speaking of
the matter said: ITO prevent a man
from speaking here because he is a
Democrat is undoubtedly a startling
and splendid way to take the institu-
tion out of politics AS 1 told the board
much greater significance would be at
tached to such unprecedented action
than to a speech by Mr.. Bryan on some
educational topic, The yale stuoents
New Haven, and the college has been
apologizing for it ever since. To go
out of our way to rescind the action of
the former board, to crawfish on a def
mite enga cement distinctly agreed to by
both parties involved. and to formally
and officially heap this indignity upon
one of the worlds greatest men, is an
action which is as unique as it is pre-
posterous.'

STORMS IN NEBRASKA.
Much Damage Done at Plattsmouth
Nebraska City, and Omaha

Omaha, May 15.-The past "a hours
has been characterized by unseasOnably
hail storms throughout Nebraska.
Heavy rains fell Saturday night all
over the state, and the temperature
was but little over 40 degrees. Light
frost is reported in some localities. AT
Plattsmouth and Nebraska City severe
hail storms occurred yesterday fore
noon that did considerable damage in
the way of breaking windows The
worst storm of the spring struck Oma-
ha shortly after 9 o'clock last night,
when a tremendous downpour of rain,
accompanied by hail, occurred. The
hail fell steadily for ten minutes and
broke many windows and did other
damage. Many of the hailstones were
an inch and a half in diameter Street
railway traffic was interrupted, and
telegraphic and telephone cOmmunica-
ton interfered with for a time.

ate the statement by a nod while he
took fresh breath.
s'Of course you realize Topeka's abil-
ity to properly entertain the regiment"
''Oh, yes, Topeka could entertain the
boys all right replied Mr.. Baker. ''But
1 have an idea the Leavenworth bar
racks offer as much in the way of tax
ing care of the soldiers as the Topeka
fair grounds"
Major Anderson and Mr. Sterne have
stated that you promised some time
ago that as Leavenworth had the other
three Kansas regiments at the muster
ing out, Topeka would be given the
Twentieth"
Major Anderson and Mr. Sterne are
two very nice men but they must speak
for themselves.
DO you remember of making such
promise?"
Il have said a great many things in
my life 1 don't remember
do you wish it inferred that you did
or did not make such promise?''
Il am not on the witness stand.
sir
Senator Bakers diplomacy was MAX
ing an admira BILE showing. He was. as
it were, warming to his work. The re-
porter was duly impressed with his re-
markable accomplishment.
Statements have appeared in the
Leavenworth and Kansas City papers
announcing that you had declared the
regiment would not be mustered out in
Topeka"
1T was very kind of the papers to
print my name
Did you see the statements ?''
Il scarcely ever read a newspaper"
Did you ever authorize such state
ments?''
II have AUTHORIZED nothing in refer
ence to the matter. I have given it no
thought, and will not say anything one
way or another for publication"
You absolutely refuse, then, to say
anything definite about the matter?''
Il believe 1 have said nothing defin-
ite.''
About this time it dawned upon the
reporter that Senator Baker had no in
tention of making his mind known to
the public. The interview therefore
came to an end.
1t now remains to be seen whether
or not Senator Baker will remember
the promise he made in reference to the
regiment, or go back on it direct. In
other words he has now the OppOrtuni-
ty of proving whether he is the repre-
sentative of Kansas or simply the rep
reSentatiVe of the city of LeaVenworth.
Topeka as the capital of the state and
as the only city in which the regiment
and the thousands of Kansas people
who will throng to see the gallant SOL
diers can be fittingly entertained, should
be given the preference Senator Ba-
ker owes it to the entire state to name
Topeka as the place for the mastering
out of the regiment, as his dictation
will be accepted in the selection.
