The agricultural experiment station
work which has proved of the greatest
practical value to the agricultural in
terests of the United States is likely to
lie extended to the Philippines, Porto
Rico and Hawaii. Secretary of Agri-
culture Wilson has asked congress to
appropriate $4,000 for Hawaii, SIC, 1000
for the Philippines and $1,000 for Porto
Rico in order to establish experiment
stations ON these islands. He believes
that even these small appropriations
will accomplish great deal of good on

edge among the natives.

The retirement of Susan d. Anthony
from the presidency of the National

force the election judges to accept her
ballot. Miss Anthony was arrested

CURTIS THE MAN
WILL PROBABLY GET FIRST
DISTRICT NOMINATION
He Captures Brown, jackson. Atchi-
son and Shawnee Delegations

Charles Curtis Of Topeka, congressman
from the First district, will doubtless
! doubtless be returned to congress as the
nominee Of the Republican party. The
fight between he and w. j. Bailey the
Leland candidate was settled yesterday,
and the Shawnee county man, it is
thought, has won out At midnight last
night the following telegram was re-
ceived by the Eagle from Topeka:
THE latest returns from Brown county
gives Curtis 81 delegates and Bailey Il
delegates in county convention. Jack
son county gives Curtis 79, Crane Is.
Atchison county precincts gives Curtis
6S delegates, Bailey SO, with precincts
electing so delegates to the convention to
hear from. Three wards in Atchison
city elect Carts delegates with two wards
to hear from. This gives Curtis Atchison
county"
The fight between Bailey and Curtis
has attracted the attention of the whole
state and was of particular interest to
Wichita Both sides have persistently
claimed the victory, and the fight was
in doubt up to the day Of the selection
Of delegates. Curtis, by winning out in
Brown, Jackson and Atchison counties,
with Shawnee's solid delegation at his
back, has such a lead that Bailey has
practically no show of beating him.
: dispatch at 2:10 this morning cor
roborates the early report Of Curtis vic
tory. 1t says:
''Atchison, Kan, Feb. 21.-The fight be-
tween Charles Curtis and Congressman
at-Iarge w. J. Bailey for supremacy in
the First Kansas district resulted today
in a victory for Curtis. In the election
of delegates today TO the county corven-
ton Curtis carried Atchison, the pivotal
county, and Jackson and Brown counties.
Curtis is now sure of six more votes than
enough to nominate. The defeat of
Bailey is also a defeat for Cy Leland, Re
publican national committeeman for Kan
sas. who has been conducting Bailey's
fight United States Senator Baker was
also identified with the Bailey forces.
Under the expected re-appointment Of the
state the office of ngressman-at-large
will be abolished, hence the desire of Mr.
Bailey to carry the primaries against
Curtis in the Fifth district.

COST IS TOO GREAT
improvement Society Fails to
Adopt Pavement Resolution.
WANT CITY TO PAY HALF
So as to Relieve Owners of
Auditing Property.

The Wichita Improvement Society held
an interesting meeting at the city build
ing last night. There was large atten-
dance of citizens who had been called by
the agitation Of street paving which the
society intends TO commence. This move
ment received backset last night, as
the first paving resolution submitted was
tabled by a decisive vote. It is under
stood the tabled resolution called for the
paving OF Lawrence avenue, Murdoch
avenue east to the cemeteries and west
to the park, west Douglas to Seneca, and
Seneca to University avenue. The cost
which would accrue to the owne,s Of
abutting property brought out the protest
which succeeded in shelving the resolu-
ton.
II was argued that if there were some
way of lifting part Of the cost from the
property owners the paving project
would be readily accepted by every prop
erty owner along the streets. Acting
upon this theory the following resolution
was unanimously adopted:
Whereas, The present law in regard to
paving places too heavy a burden on the
property owners along the paved street;
therefore be it
Resolved, That the Wichita Improve
ment Society eanestly request that the
mayor and the city council submit to a
vote at the next city election the propo-
sition that the cost of all paving or
macadamizing in the future in the city
shall be apportioned between the city and
the abutting property"
This resolution viii be submitted to the
next meeting of the city council by a
committee consisting Of Whitney Tucker,
j. p. Parkhurst and DR.. J. NJ AIinnick.
The Improvement Society is becoming
perfectly organized Tor effective work
the coming summer and will doubtless
succeed in having enacted many impor-
tant measures pertaining to the health,
cleanliness and beauty Of Wichita.
