SOMETHING ROTTEN IN DENMARK
(Alleghany Starr

Why was it that Joe Finney. from this
county, was bound over to Federal Court
for distilling? Joe says he never made
drop of liquor in his life, and that
there was no evidence against him, con-
sequently he was found not guilty. Was
he bound over because he is a Democrat,
or for fees, or for what? There is
something rotten in Denmark.

ELEVEN KILLED.
But Major Waller Denies That
1t Was Murder.

Manila. March 21.-The court martial
appointed to try Mayor Littleton, T.
Waller and Lieutenant John H. Day,
the marine corps, on the charge of exc
cutting natives on the island of Samar
without trial after receiving a communi
cation from General Chaffee today de-
cided that it had jurisdiction in the
case and proceeded to try the, accused
officers.
Major Waller pleaded mot guilty to
the charge of murder but admitted that
eleven men had been killed
Captain Robert H. Dunlap of the
marine corps, testified he had received
information from Lieutenant Gridley
and Sergeant Quick regarding the ar
rival at Cargadores, of prisoners, who
while on the march across the island,
ate roots and parts of plants and re-
fused to assist the marines by giving
them similar food. He reported the
facts to Major Waller, who was lying on
a cot and who ordered Lieutenant Day
to take the prisoners and have them
shot
The witness said Major Waller was
not excited and had personally express
ed that the men should be shot.
Captain Arthur T. Mark, marine
corps representing Major Waller, add
ed to the testimony of DR.. Love re-
garding the sanity of Major Waller at
the time claiming that his fitness for
duty was a matter for the defense
alone. He conceded that Major Waller
gave the orders while in his right
senses.

MAY QUIT.
Report That He Has Asked to
Be Relieved.
Either Peters or Blue Is Ger
tain to Get the Place.

Washington, March 21.-Mr. H. Clay
Evans, commissioner of pensions, has
told President Roosevelt that at his
early convenience he wishes to be re-
lieved from his present official position.
The president has indicated his inten-
ton of giving Mr.. Evans a diplomatic
mission. The president has not yet
made up his mind to Mr.. Evans sue
cessor. These staten ents of fact are
made on the highest authority.
Mr. Evans has been commissioner of
pensions longer than any previous COM
missioner, with one exception. He be-
lieves, as do his friends, that he has re-
manned in the office long enough to vim
dictate his official acts and to refute any
claim which might be made that he
was retiring under fire. Mr.. Evans
would have retired toward the close of
the first Mckinley administration, but
the president insisted that he should re-
main. In presenting the matter to
President Roosevelt, Mr.. Evans explain
ed that he had long contemplated with
drawing and that while he did not wish
to embarraSS the president, as early ac-
ton as was found convenient would be
acceptable to him. The president said
he wanted it understood that the action
was being taken upon Mr. Evans 1nltia-
tive. Mr.. Evans aSSented- The president
then said that he did not wish to make
the change until he could secure q suit
able diplomatic mission for Mr. Evans.
Just now but two missions are discuss
ed as presenting possible openings. The
president will shortly find it necessary
to select a new representative of this
country to Italy. This will not be ac-
ceptable to Mr.. Evans. The fact grows
out of the pension commissioner s per
sonal inclination and not because of the
character or rank of the mission. The
other possibility is presented in the mis-
sion to Mexico. 1t can be said with
authority that the president has fully
made UP his mind to appoint Mr.. Evans
to this place, if Mr. Powell Clayton, the
present ambassador to Mexico, should
retire, or if his retirement should be
forced by the charges which have been
made against him.
There is reason to believe that the
Mexican mission would be acceptable
to Mr.. Evans. He has been urged to try
for congress again and has been assured
by his friends that he can be elected.
He does not contemplate such action.
On the point he said today: L will not
again enter the district and make the
race for congress. 1 have no such step
under considera ton. When / return to
Tennessee it will be to take up my
business affairs and to devote myself
to my private interests solely

Evans as pension commissioner, a mem
Der of the Kansas delegation is authori-
ty for the statement that President
Roosevelt has given the states delega-
ton in congress assurance that it can
name the next commissioner of pen
sions. The delegation has put forward
Messrs Blue and Peters, with strong
recommended lions, each being a former
member of congress, and the delegat ton
being impartial in their Endorsement of
them.

THROWN INTO PEST HOUSE.
Boy Who Didn't Have Smallpox
Must Now Get the Disease.

A case of what appears to have been
criminal ignorance or neglect on the
part of a certain we'll known Topeka
doctor has been brought to light We'd
nesday afternoon, this doctor reported
that a boy named Reynolds who lives
at 40O1e Kansas avenue was sick with
smallpox, and asked that the patient be
removed to the pest house. The ambu-
lance was sent, and the boy taken to
the pest house.
Thursday it was discovered by City
Physician Judd that the boy did not
have smallpox, but simply a harmless
rash with none of the smallpox symD-
toms.
Horrible though it seems, this unfort-
innate boy must stay in the pest house
and wait to be taken sick with the gen
uine article of smallpox, which is pretty
certain to take place within a short
time. He had been thoroughly exposed
to the disease before the frightful error
of the doctor first in charge was dis
covered, and it would be dangerous to
release him from the hospital
Three new cases of scarlet fever were
reported to the board of health today.
They were as follows: In the family of
Peter Blomquist. Ut Western avenue;
in the family of Chas. F. Hardy, 1871
Lane street, and in the family of H.
Bender, 1913 North Topeka avenue.

PUBLIC HEARING
On the Proposition to Tunnel Under
North River.

New York, March 21.-There was
public hearing before the mayor TO-DAY
tunnel by the Pennsylvania railroad
company under the North river. John
G. Johnson counsel for the Pennsyl-

by tunnel and that the tunnel plan
could not be entered upon unless the
franchises We're granted permanently.
For the construction of this tunnel,
he said. 1.-THE Pennsylvania company
has already acquired real estate to the
value of more than 100000, and for
the completion of the improvements the
expense will be close to or beyond S4O,-

TO BUILD HER OWN SHIPS.

New York March 21.-According to
Col. P. P. Tchernigovsky, of the Rus
sian navy, who has just sailed, with
his wife and daughter, for home on the
steamer St Louis, Russia is not likely
to order any more war vessels from
foreign ship builders. He has been in
this country experimenting the con-
struction at the Cramp yards of the
Variag and Retvizan for the Russian
navy. These vessels having been COM
pleted he is now on his way home.
Russian yards he said, have a ca
pacity for building eight ships stimuli
taneously. 1 have prepared a report
on American methods which will have
the effect, 1 think, of doubling their
capacity. If at any time Russia should
need any more warships from a foreign
country America will get the order. The
United States is far ahead of any of
the European countries in the building
of battleships, and its ideas are more
advanced >,

plant. 1T was the going value upon
which the disagreement occurred"
What do you think the plant is
worth?"
Il really could not say replied Mr..
Street II do not know what a fair value
would be. 1t would have to be determined
by careful investigation"
Mr.. Street stated that his trip to To-
peka was not for the especial purpose of
talking compromise with the officials. 1t
is a regular visit to the city which make
every once in a while. OF course, while
1 am here I usually talk with the city
officials more less
The visit of Mr.. Street to Topeka was
quite unexpected. Only a few of the city
officials knew of the visit. Mayor Parker
even denied that he had seen Mr.. Street.
Mr.. Streets visit here shows that the ne
gotiations which Mayor Parker and the
city attorney have been carrying on with
the water company have interested the
officials of that company considerably
Mr.. Street will be in Topeka until Sat
urday afternoon. Before he leaves an I'M
Outstanding may be arrived at with the

sued to arrive at that elusive fair and
equitable value"

NEW ORDER in EAST.
Action of Russia and France Is Con-
sidered Encouraging.

New York, March 21---The F'ranco-Rus-
sian note continues TO excite a good deal
of optimistic discussion in the English
press. says the London correspondent of
the Tribune. The belated conversion of
Russia into an advocate of the open door
principle. with France to ceuntersign her
diplomacy, is regarded the first prac-
teal evidence of the creation of a new
order in the far west. One of two susp.-
c1ouS commentators take a less favorable
view of the note and assert that while
the phrasing is harmless. the fact that il
has been issued from the foreign Offices
at Paris and St. Petersburg is proof that
the powers against which the agreement
was aimed, accept full responsibility and
stand together. English writer's are GER
tain of the diplomatic support of the Uni
ted States. but are not assured that Ger
many can be depended upon to sanction
the new principle of the collective con-
mercial interests OF the maritime powers
which the Anglo-Japanese agreement en-
bodies
They are not fully convinced that Prince
Henry'S mission. il is now generally
described in Germany. has been widened
out by the force of circumstances and that
England is not excluded from the circle of
good feeling.

HANNA DROPS IN.
Conceded to Be a Leading Candidate
For Lieutenant Governor.

Dave Hanna, of Hill City. who is
sprinting down the political track
towards the lieutenant governors chair,
is in Topeka today. He is making a
tour of the state to round up the dele
gates to the state convention.
Everybody comedies that Hanna is in
the lead in the race. The friends of w.
A Germany, of Fort Scott, believe that
the finish will be between Hanna and
Germany, but w. M. Glenn, of Greeley
county, thinks that the finish will be
between him and Hanna.
Some of the politicians have been
specializing as to why Mr.. Hanna has
not been attending the congressional
conventions. He explained why today.
1T doesn't do much good, to attend
the congressional conventions he said,
for the reason that the delegates who
will attend the state convention will be
an entirely different set from those who
are in the congressional conventions.
Most of the counties elect their state
and congressional delegates at the same
time, and they don't elect the same men
in both sets. For that reason [ prefer
to go around after the state delegates
are elected and get acquainted with
them" es=
