MORE FOR WHITEWINGS
Council Committee Recommends
Increase in the Pay.

Jackscrews are again being put under
the payroll of the city of Topeka. and
some additional outlay is likely to be
added to the current expenses.
At the meeting of the ways and
means committee, held last night in the
committee room at the city building
Il was decided to recommend TO the
council that the pay of the white
wings be raised from $35 a month to
$l5O for an eight-hour day. The pay
of street foremen, of whom there are
two, George Etzel and W. T. Horn,
VIII be raised from $1.75 a day to $50
month These advances in pay must
be aFFroved by the council before they
become effective.
The white wings who will be affect
ed by the change are Peter Davis, w.
Il Fisher, H. Chiles, w H Jackson,
Barrett Quarles and W H. Smith.
There was very little discussion in the
committee meeting over the proposed
raise in pay. Several members # the
committee, however, are understood to
oppose the move. and it is likely that
q hight viii be made to stop the increase

SEVEN DROWN.
Pleasure Boat Overturned on
the Maumee River.

Toledo, o., May S.-Seven young peo-
pie. members of a Sunday school class
of the First Baptist church were drown
ed in the Maumee river, just below the
city, last night, at 10 o'clock as the re-
suit of the naphtha launch Frolic on
which they We're taking a pleasure ride,
being run down by the tug Arthur
Woods, of the Great Lakes Towing COM
pany's fleet.
The launch is owned by Joseph W.
Hepburn, of this city, who invited ten
young people to take a ride with him.
They started out on a trip to Lake
Erie early in the evening and We're re-
turning when the accident happened.
Mr.. Hepburn, Miss Clara Marks, Ar
thur Marks and Miss Grace Lowe are
the only survivors.
Mr.. Hepburn states that he saw the
lights of the approaching tug, and
thinking it was bound straight down
the river turned to the east. When near
" abreast of the launch the tug sudden
ly turned to the east in order to make
the dock at Ironville, and before the
launch could get out of the way it was
struck by the tug and turned over and
sunk about 100 feet from the dock Mr..
Hepburn caught hold of the side of the
tug and the Lowe girl grasped his leg
and both were pulled on the tug. The
Marks girl was picked up from a cush-
ion on which she foated. Arthur Marks
also was fortunate enough to grab
piece of wreckage and was picked up
by those on the tug The other seven
members of the party We're drowned
and the river is now being dragged for
their bodies.

Washington, May Sat the opening
of the session of the house today the
speaker announced the appointment Of
Mr.. Gillett CAGass) as a member of the
con mittee on appropriations to fill the
vacancy caused by the retirement o.
Secretary of the Navy Moody.
Without prelin mary business the
house then proceeded with the cOnsid-
Grafton of the omnibus statehood bill,
under an agreement that general debate
should be closed today at D. m.
Mr. Moon, CTenn.) the ranking minor
ity member of the committee on terri
tories, the first speaker today, earnest
ly urged the passage of the bill, argu-
ing that the admission of the three ter
ritories to statehood would be only an
act of simple justice to the people re-
siding therein. The constitutional right
of admission, he cOntended, existed IN
each case.
Mr.. Grosvenor CO.) spoke in opposi-
tiOn to that measure. He said that che
weak point in the bill was that it was
an omnibus measure. The claims OF
each territory to admission, he argued,
should be considered separately. In ef-
feet, be declared, this was a lOg-rolling
proposition. When the gentleman from
Massachusetts (Mr Knox said this was
not a political measure, he declared, he
was contradicting all the facts of his
tory. From the time of the admission
of Kentucky he said, political consider :
ations had governed in the admission of
states. No one, he said, could deny that
Nevada was admitted for purely politi-
cal purposes
Did not the Republican platform of
1900 declare in favor of the admission
of the territories ?" asked Mr.. Stephens
(Tex.).
yes" replied Mr.. Grosvenor, but I
venture to say that hardly a score OF
men on the floor of the Philadelphia
convention knew that Mr.. Quigg had
smuggled it into the platform.
WAS it smuggled into the platform OF
1882" asked Mr. Knox.
Il will come to that" responded Mr..
Grosvenor.
Mr.. Grosvenor avowed that he had
voted for the admission Of the Dakotas
for the same reason that the Democrats
had opposed it-because it would
strengthen the Republican party.
s'Why does the gentleman assume that
the three territories would make Demo
cratic states?' asked Mr.. Thayer (NdassJ.

LOUIS LINE
RumOrs of New Rock Island
Acquisition.

Chicago. May s.-The Record Herald
says today
Unless present plans of the Rock Is
land management fail, Chicago will soon
have another through line to St. Louis,
and St. Louis will have a new through
line to St Paul and Minneapolis. Agents
of the Rock Island are negotiating for
purchase Of a majority of the stock OF
the Chicago, St. Louis & Peoria road.
with view to making it the southern
portion of new st. Louis-C Chicago line.
1t IS stated that in the purchase of the
land had in mind not only the extension
of the St Louis, Kansas City & Colora-
do line to Kansas City, but the purchase
oE the Chicago, Peoria & St Louis and
its use as the nucleus for a new line
between St. Paul and St. Louis and be-
tween Chicago and st. Louis. The dis
tance from Chicago to Peoria on the
Rock Island is $50 miles and from Peoria
to St. Louis by the Chicago, Peoria &
st. Louis is 200 miles, making the pro
posed route $50 miles. By a cutoff the
new line could be shortened by at least
SO miles, thereby giving Ine company as
good line to St. Louis as any Of the
existing lines.
The St. Louis-St. Paul line would be
completed by the purchase of the Chi
cagO, Peoria & Eastern, the route being
as follows:
St Louis to Peoria over the Chicago.
Peoria & St. Louis; Peoria to Rock IS
land over the Rock Island & Peoria,
now owned by the Rock Island, from
Rock Island to St Paul over the Bur
lington, Cedar Rapids & Northern which
is also owned by the Rock Island.
