CLAIM WAS VETOED
X T. VIII Not tiet That S2O, 600 for a
While


While
Lawrence. Kan, March IA telegram
from Congressman J. D. Bowersock, at
Washington, to Prof w H Carruth OF
the University of Kansas this morning
conveyed the information that the bill
passed by congress in payment Of the $50,
900 claim held by the University of kan
sas for the destruction of the Free State
hotel in Lawrence in 1856. had died by
pocket veto of the president. The reason
for this was that the attorney general had
given an opinion against the bill this re-
sulting in he pres dents adverse action.
The nature Of the objection of Attorney
General Griggs is not known. but If only
of a technical character, and such as can
be remedied, the bill wiz again be intro
duced by Mr.. Bowersock at the next ses-
sion of congress, so amended as to over
come the objections. and pressed to q con
clusion.
The news was the occasion Of much re-
greet here as the plans for the construc-
ton of a gymnasium bad been greatly
heightened by the passage Of the bill,
and it was not understood that there was
anything in tho way of its becoming o
law. The legislature at its recent sess5 on
had appropriated the money for the pur-
pose desired. and there was hope that the
construction Of this much needed addition
to the University equipment was close at
hand

THE oLEoMARGARINE CASES
several Indictments Against Local
business Men NoIIe Pressed.

Justice Barnard. sitting in Criminal
Court No. 1, yesterday, on motion OF
Thomas II. Anderson, United States Dis
trict Attorney directed nolle presses TO be
entered in a large number of indictments
recorded about two years ago against local
business men for alleged illegal sales OF
oleOmargarine.
This action was taken by the District
Attorney after long and careful consid-
Grafton of the circumstances connected
with the prosecutions, in which John w
Herkes Commissioner of Internal Reve-
nue., was fully consulted.
In August last, Mr. Anderson. after
having made a synopsis of the strongest
testimony at the command of the Gov
ernment submitted it to Mr. Yerkes, who
after investigation agreed with the Dis
trict Attorney as TO the situation.
There We're thirty-six of these cases on
the docket. In twenty eight instances the
persons We're charged with selling oleo-
margarine in unstamped packages and
in eight FOR carrying on business of re-
failing oleomargarine without payment of
a special tax. The cases were divided
into three classes. First. those against
wholesale dealers for selling from other
than the manufacturers original pack
ages; second, those against retail dealers
for selling in unstamped packages. and
tnlru, those against retail dealers Tor
selling without having paid the special
tax.
Among the indictments reported by the
grand Jury were three against the Wilkins
Brothers. wholesale dealers. In two of
these cases, Mr.. Anderson explained to the
court, a conviction depended upon the tes-
timony of Arthur Van Horn and a girl
named Florence Davis. Since the insttu-
ton Of the proceedings the Davis girl, who
was expected to testify to the actual pur-
chase of the article. died and Van Horn,
who was to identify the package bought
had lost the records of the circumstances
Of the transaction, made at the time it
took place.
The other persons who We're charged
with violating the law relative to the sale
Of Oleomargarine are Clayton NJ. Enrich
and Frederick w. Enrich; Joseph =. b.

of the gypsy girls who have entered his
store He calls attention to the action
OF the Police Court in two cases brought
before it, He then informs the Commits
sioners that within a week at least a
dozen gypsy women have been in his
store. He says they handle whatever they
can get hold of In much the same way
that negro boys do the things they at
tempt to steal. He says further that they
try to browbeat young ladies' who enter
the store to submit to having their for
tunes told for - cents. He informs the
Commissioners that these women are
dirty. and that they make themselves very
obnoxious. He states that because they are
very revengeful people he does not
care to lodge complaint against them. The
writer of the letter is of the opinion that
something ought to he done to stop their
operations in the District of Columbia.
