DENIED A CHARTER.
Kansas City Company Barred by the
Kansas Board.

A brilliant charter application was
turned down by the state charter board
late Wednesday afternoon. It was the
Edgar Car Lock and Seal company. a
concern organized at Kansas City,

ration. The company mathem atcian
figured out that 81 was one-tenth of /
per cent. on $4,000 capital. SO that the
fee sent in was just SO short. It is a
branch of the Rapid Manufacturing and
Introduction company of Chicago, and
it purports to do everything except
handle real estate and start a chain OF
banks.
The incorporators Of the company
are George B. Edgar, Lawrence; Albert

INSULTED BY RUFFIANS
State House Lawn Benches
Proving to Be Nuisances.

Complaint has been made against
loafers abusing the experimental park
privileges of the state house grounds
that have CON e-with the placing of the
park benches on the walks by the Fed
Grated clubs. Several women came
into Attorney General Godard's Office
against loafers who had insulted them.
The executive council proposes to ap-
prehend the next malefactor and make
an. example of him.
There are three of the new park
benches at the oval in the southwest
walk This walk is used more than
any other across the grounds. 1t is
charged that loafers congregate at this
spot particularly, using bOisterous and
vile language and otherwise making
nuisances of themselves.

next Tuesday" Mr.. GODDARD told a State
Journal reporter, 1--WE propose to take
action to abate this nuisance the first
thing.
There are a great many girls and
women that use that path to the Santa
F'e offices and the stores down town
We do not propose that loafers shall
cOngregate on the state house grounds
with their vile language and boisterOus
conduct to insult the women that must
use the paths to go to and from their
work or their shopping.
THE executive council will make an
exam pie of the first offender.
The Federated clubs placed those
benches there for the enjoyment of the
public. They are not intended for ha-

BUTTONS BIG JOB.
Rumor That He Has Given Up His
$4,000 Attorneyship.

There is a report current around
Baxter Springs where Burton spoke
Tuesday that he has resigned the posi-
ton Of attorney for the Chickasaw In
dian tribe, a $1,000 a year job that he
has held for two years by appointment
of Governor Johnson, of the Chicka-
saws.
Senator Burton's friends here do not
know of his giving up the position and
nothing was said by him to friends who
met him in Kansas City last night as
he was on the way to Chicago. The re-
port is discredited here entirely
Dave Mulvane and others who went
down from here to Kansas City Tues
day night to meet Burton were disap-
pointed. He did not show up until last
night and some of the conferees went
home again, or came back to Topeka,
after watching the trains all Wednes-
day morning, before he put in his ap-
pearance.

Congressman Hull's Opinion of
the FiIipinOs.

San Francisco, Cal, Aug. Coon
gresham Hull of Iowa, chairman of
the house committee on military affairs
who has arrived here from a five
months tour of China, Japan and the
Philippines, is deeply impressed with
the possibilities of the new American
possessions in the Orient. He says:
IF was a young man I don't know
where I would rather go than to the
Philippines For a man of brains and
industry the islands open a vast pros
pect in most every line of business for
one who has the grit to go there and
stick to it.
THE mineral, agricultural and tim
Der resources of these islands consti-
tute a field for commercial enterprise
that is practically unlimited OF course
the present conditions Of brigandage
make it exceedingly unsafe for people
to settle in the islands away from the
protection Of the military posts But
the people, or the great majority, de-
sire peace and safety and are doing al
they can to help the troops attain this
end.
of course it is impossible to make
Anglo-SaxOn out of an Oriental, there
fore the Filipino will probably never be
an American citizen in the broad sense
that is understood by all that term
conveys to the man born in the U. s
of white parents But as soon as he
gets a sufficient education and becomes
a little more impregnated with our
ideas and loses some of the ideas ac-
CURED by a 300 years association with
the Spaniard, the Filipino will be a cit
izen in spirit, patriotism. industry and
education and Will be worthy of partic-
ipating to the fullest exten tin all the
benefits Of this government.

kindness / think that 10000 troops is

JOHN WAS SICK.
Mrs. Nation Called on the Pugilist II
New York.

New York, Aug. 29-AIrs Carrie Ma
ton arrived in this city yesterday. She
had an interview with Police Commits
siOner Murphy, during which he told
her that she. would be arrested If she
violated the law in this city. Mrs Ma
ton also called at John l. Sullivan s
saloon to see the ex-puguliSt in refer
ence to a statement he was alleged to
have made, to the effect that he would
throw her in the sewer" Sullivan sent
down word that he was i'll, but made an
appointment to meet her next Monday.
She then went to see Archbishop Cor
rigan, but he was out of town.
When Mrs. Nation entered police
headquarters she was shown at once TO
Commissioner Murphy's room. In open
ing her interview with the commissions
er she said she had called on him for
an account of his stewardship and ask
ed if ne did not think New York was
an awful wicked place The commits
Sioner replied In the negative, and Mrs.
Nation repeated the question as an as
sertiOn, WhereupOn Mr.. Murphy re-
quested her to STOP saying he would
not discuss the matter with her. She
continued, however, to ply the COM
missioner with questions concerning
certain places, all of which he refused
to answer. Mrs. Nation said she had
come here to do the city some good.
You don't know what you are talk
ing about said Commissioner Murphy.
Go back to Kansas and stay there II
you want to do something why don't
you 90 II TOT your husband
I have no husband now said Mrs.
Nation I suppose you knew all about
that matter
"Oh, yes, said Commissioner Murphy,
Z congratulate Mr.. Nation. He ought
to be a happy man now"
why don't you want to discuss Sun
day salOons?" asked Mrs. Nation. and
the commissioner replied angrily:
Because don't want to. I won't sit
here and be lectured.
What, do you mean to say that you
won't discuss good morals in New
York? Don't you want to talk about
the closing up of these hell holes and
murder shops? Do you think I am
crazy2''
yes. I do" replied Commissioner
Murphy.
Mrs Nation then addressed Mr. Murphy
as father - which term the commissioner
warmly resented But the Kansas reform
er persisted
Father. don't you think little
'hatchetation' would be good for New
York2'' she asked
IF you violate the laws I will have you
locked up replied Commissioner Muir
ply
Commissioner Murphy finally termin-
ated the interview by reckoning to his
secretary, who escorted Mrs. Nation from
the room. Before leaving town Mrs Ma
ton said she would return Sunday and
visit the "tenderloin" and ''see everything
that was OPEN.

One Tag Is Enough.

washington, Aug. 29.-The comp
trOller of the currency has rendered a
decision regarding the duplicate tax on
bank dividends. In this case a GER
tain bank owned stock In and received
dividends from several other banks
These banks had paid the tax on the
dividends declared by them, and the
question involved is whether the orig
inal bank should be required to pay a.
tax on that part of its income which it
received in dividends from the other
banks. The comptroller holds that it
was not the intention of congress to
assess a duplicate tax upon the same
identical income or profits.

Grafton ana are preparing to open more
mills. With this end in view and be-
cause of ample police protection the
American Tin Plate company is said to
have made its Star plant in this city a
school of instruction Skilled men are
in charge who are instructing other
men in the n ysteries of tin plate max
ing. When the nOViceS show a Sufn-
cient degree of proficiency they are to
be sent to other plants. Managers Of
various plants of the company will be
there every day placing and teaching
the new men, The mana cement of the
works say that $50 men are at work
there now, but this is denied by the
Amalgamated officials. They also claim
that the plant is SO small that it would
take many years to turn out enough
men to work the other plants
President Shaffer officially denied
several stories printed in the papers
today. He said there was no truth in
the report that the Amalgamated asso-
citation was making efforts to effect a
settlement of the strike by trying to
force the United States Steel corpora
ton into arbitration through the courts
and that John Il Byrne, q small stock
holder and former labor leader had
been requested to join in a petition ask
ing for the appointment of board.
This staten ent was also denied by Mr..
Byrne in a dispatch to the Associated
Press this morning.
The report that the Amalgamated
lodges were voting on a peace PROPOSE
ton was also denied by Mr.. Shaffer,
who said:
There has been no vote of any kind
taken by us. The lodges may have
taken votes on their own account. but
none has been ordered since the strike
started and no vote has been taken by
the executive board
Speaking of the reported meeting at
Milwaukee called for next Sunday
night, he said:
Z know nothing of the proposed
meeting. The Bay City men can meet
whenever they want to.
The situation" continued Mr.. Shat
fer. is unchanged.'
