1ISSOLVES WITH NICK.
Mrs. Nation Has Done With
Her Publisher.

Hereafter Mrs. Carrie Nation will en-
deavor to edit and have printed her pa
per, THE Smasher's Mail" without the
aid of her erstwhile publisher and bonds
man.
For today Mrs. Nation has severed her
business connections with her ambitious
colored publisher. Her troubles with
Nick Chiles first began when the first
issue of the paper appeared and he had
suppressed some Of her copy.
Nick was called in and told that the
editor n-chief was responsible for every
thing that appeared in the paper and
what she wanted published must be
printed Nick promised to be good.
Mrs Nation wrote an editorial about
Judge Hazen for her second issue, and
insisted on its being maintained six
teen page paper, but when she received
the paper she found it reduced in size
and the editorial together with other
matter she was particular about had
been left out.
Mrs Nation was duly vexed upon dis
covering that apparently she could not
print what she wanted to in her own pa
per why I'm sure it was Hazen that
kept that editorial from gong into the
to have Hazen running my paper? No.
I tell you no"
So Mrs. Nation decided to get another
printer. one who will do as he is told
w ny never nave Adu any tIOuDie, SHe
said in having the darkies do what
want. I was born in the south ard I
love them. But I must confess I can't
do anything with Nick He is too many
for me"
Mrs. Nation says she has turned over
to him the sum Of $247 in cash. besides
what he has collected to maintain the
paper And she said, IF I pay for
printing the paper guess viii have it
as / want it,,
Mrs. Nation says that she is in no
sense Nick Chiles' partner as the second
ISSUE Of the paper states. HE has never
been anything but my printer"

REACHES $1,000.
City Registration Breaks All
Previous Records.

The registration is completed and the
books show that it has been the heaviest
in the history of the icty. AS near as
can be figured the number is about 15.-
600. Commissioner of Elections VII
iams says that they counted the stubs
last night and that the number was 49,
21S but that he thinks the number is too
high by about 200.
The stubs on the books show that s.
1874 men and 1924 are registered. At least
5000 have been registered since Monday.
The workers of both parties have becn
out and have done a great deal of work.
and in addition to the political workers
the Commercial club has been working
to get the men to register so that they
can vote foT. the Santa Fe bonds. All
day yesterday rigs were rushing to the
registering places and they kept it up
until a late hour.
The registration last fall for the pres
idential election shows a total of liza
men, which shows that the women are
taking the greatest interest this spring.
Both sides claim that the large regis
tration is in their favor but 1t viii be
impossible to tell what it means until
the votes are counted after the election
The Republicans are frightened and 50
are the Democrats. There never was a
time of greater uncertainty concerning
an election in the city.

KANSAS WANTS MORE
Sen. Burton Not Satisfied With
AppOrtiOnment Of Places.

Kansas expects more consulships and
aspi1ants are already ON the hunt Ter
them. 1t is argued that during the days
of Populist United States senators this
state fell away in securing its proper
tionate share Of foreign Office piuns-
Kansas now holds only a very small
HANDFUL of consulships compared to tea
or a dozen parceled out to other states
that are on 10 higher plane then KAN
sas-
The argument seems fair enough that
upon a return to a political basis that
is in accord with the national admins
'tration, more appointments should come
this way Besides Senator Burton must
have places for. his friends. Kansas only
place of any great moment at presses
is that of fourth assistant postmaster
general, held by joe Pristow.
Senator Burton agrees with lis friends
that 1t is Kansas due 10 have more
corsulshius. The lists OF vacancies are
now being searched and the place hunt-
ers who know of it are beginning to Pile

WILL ARREST CHASE.
Judge Magaw Swears to Com
plant For Criminal Libel.

Police Judge Magaw appeared before
the county attorney this morning and
swore to a complaint charging Harold
T. Chase, editor of the Topeka Capital.
with criminal libel on two counts.
The Information in the charge of Grim
inal libel against Mr.. Chase cites two
counts. The first count is brought on
account of an article which appeared in
the Capital January 81 as an interview
from Chief Stahl who was quoted as
having said that he could not close the
joints as long as Judge Magaw was
on the bench. The second count is based
upon the following editorial which ap-
peared in the Capital on Thursday:
AN OUTRAGE BY JUDGE MAGAW-
'An outrage on the whole city was
perpetrated by Judge Magaw In police
court Tuesday afternoon when he dis
missed a man named Bishop, arrested
for cruelty to animals, without hear
ing, and from the bench turned upon
Officer King of the Humane society and
denounced him for arresting persons on
such complaints. This man. said the
misfit judge, has a right to treat his
own horse as he pleases and the charge
against him is dismissed
Bishop was arrested after having left
his horse hitched without a blanket or
covering in the storm on Kansas avenue
in North Topeka from a. m. to p m
and when Officers King and Hall took
with icicles and was shivering with cold.
Officer King was ready. to summon a
score of reliable witnesses. Fifteen min
utes after the arrest Of Bishop Judge
Magaw dismissed the case against him.
THE work OF Officer King. in behalf Of
the Humane society is done for love of
horses and other brute friends Of man
and not for pay. He is vigilant in the
protection of these dumb animals from
abuse and exposure by persons who are
unfit to have their care or ownership.
The ordinances are ample in these cases
and the courts owe it to the laws and
ordinances against CRUELTY to animals
to back up the Humane society in its
work and the conduct of Police Judge
Magaw in the Bishop case simply shows
that he is unfit for the position he &C
cupies-"
s, The charge of criminal libel as drawn
in the complaint is in substance that
the two articles, and especially the one
of more recent date are libelous and
that they have angered and injured the
plaintiff County Attorney Nichols and
Assistant County Attorney Hungate
prepared the Information and will, as
county prosecutors, carry on the case in
the district court for Judge Magaw.

CONTRACTORS ACHIEVED.
Congress Stopped Big Timber Steals
in the Philippines.
New York. March "a special to i

New York. March pa special to the
Herald from Washington says:
Serious embarrassment has been caused
the administration and the development
of the Philippines has been retarded by
the legislation prohibiting the cutting Of
timber of the public lands of the archf-
pelago. AS the forests are on public lands
the government, under strict interpre-
tation of the law, would be unable to au-
thorize the Telling Of a tree to provide
the planks necessary for the construction
of a new house or the repairing of an old
one. If a gunboat were to lose a spar
and her commander desired to replace it
he could not take it from the public
lands without violation of the law. Not
only is the sale or lease Of timber prohib-
tied. but the sale or lease or disposition
of public lands and granting OF mining
rights are illegal.
This. legislation was directly contrary to
the wishes of the president and Secretary
Root. who are convinced that IN order to
promptly develop the islands the intro
ducti0n of American capital is necessary.
Secretary Root does not believe that con-
gress intended to curtail the privileges of
the people of the islands and It is believed
he will hold that the president IS author
lied to grant forestry concessions
Captain G. p A1ern, Ninth infantry
who has had charge of the forestry blI-
reau of the Philippines, reports that the
public forest lands comprise from one
fourth to one-half of the area of the
Philippines. or from 20 to 40 million acres.
