BEVERIDGE SEES It,.
No Longer Amy Excuse For Porto
Rican Tariff.

Washington, March Ex-senator Bev-
eridge today offered the following sub
stitute for the tariff section of the
Porto Rico bill:
''An articles coming into the United
States from Porto Rico or going into
Porto Rico from the United States shall
be admitted free of duty but this act
shall not be construed as extending the
constitution of the United States or of
any part thereof over Porto Rico and it
is hereby. declared that the constitution
of the United States is not extended
over Porto Rico"
Speaking of the amendment offered
today Senator Beverage said: We
have followed the presidents sugges-
ton appropriating two million dollars
for Immediate relief of Porto Rico,
which is more than the house bill would
have given the island in the entire two
years of its life. This removes the rea-
son which members had for voting for
the bill and restores us to the position
first announced by the president. On
the great principles involved, we are in
entire harmony with the president The
object of my amendment is the same as
that of Senator Davis amendment, but
the latter extends all of the taxation
ton over Porto Rico. and when any
is there forever. It may be that expeF-
fence viii demonstrate that we shall
want to change the laws of taxation Of
Porto Rico and If so I fear the extern

The convention was in favor of en-
dorsing the candidacy Of Webb McNaH

any effort to secure a harmonious fu-
sion and an equitable division of the

tinue his candidacy for governor. This
announcement was received with dis
appointment by his friends. Many Of

BURTON ENTERS DENIAL.
Says He Will Not Be Candidate For
National Committeeman.

]. R. Burton today gave out the fol-
lowing statement:
L am not a candidate for national

say further that 1 would not accept the
position if it were rendered to me unan-
ifnously by the delegation I do not
think that a candidate for the senate
should be national committeeman.
L am anxious that the Republicans,
in every district and county in the state,
will have but one purpose in view in
making nominations, viz. that they will
nominate men who can be elected. Ev-
cry Republican should first consider the
welfare of the party. Everything else
should give way to that. fractional
strifes within the party should be dis
couraged everywhere. Let US all unite
against the enemy and keep Kansas
safely in the Republican columns"

The plans of the state board of health
to take supervision of the work of un-
dertaking and embalming in Kansas

ton.
A meeting of the committee selected

A Topeka undertaken is making ar
engagements to give the board OF health
a fight in the courts on this PROPOSE
ton.
The board Is authorized by the stat
ute to TX rules and regulations for the

The board will under this provision
of the statute, issue and enforce an or

from an undertaken authorized to do
business by the state board of health.
The annual report of the board of
health shows that communicable dis

TO prevent the spread of diseases in this
class is the motive which prompts the
board to act in conjunction with the

There are few undertakers in Kansas

Music Hall People Want Everybody
Treated Alike.

New York, March 19.-The managers
of two east side resorts. McQuirks and
Little Bucks" We're held for trial to-
day by Magistrate F'Iammer on the
charge of violating the music hall act,
by having music in a drinking place.
Magistrate Flammer said he thought
the music in these places was the prin-
cipal attraction, being used to induce
people to come in and drink.
The lawyers for the prisoners an
nounced their intention to test the
question whether it was a crime to
have music in restaurants on the Bow
cry, and legal to have it in big hotels in
Fifth avenue. They would send people
to the Holland House and to the Wal
dorf-Astoria to see if the music was not
the principal inducement there, as well
as it is down on the east side
Magistrate Flammer agreed that the
matter ought to be tested to decide just
where music becomes criminal
