VESPER WILL FIGHT 1T.
He Doesn't Like the Anti-Hog
Ordinance.

Henry vesper, the Topeka baker, has
announced to the board of health that
he proposes to fight the new ordinance
which has been passed requiring that
all hogs be moved outside of the city
limits.
Mr.. Vesper owns large bunch of
hogs with he keeps at a somewhat 1so-
lated spot near the east end of the Fifth
ward. He feeds the hogs with refuse
from his bakery and has invested con-
siderable money in barns and pens. Mr..
Vesper objects strenuously to moving
out of town. and will try to smash the
ordinance.
The board of health has not made any
effort to enforce the ordinance until re-
Gently, but it is proposed now to drive
all the hogs outside of the city limits.
This is provoking a great number OF
complaints at the health department
headquarters. All these complainants
are too poor to fight the ordinance, and
will have to submit. They will no doubt
be rejoiced to find a champion of their
cause in the person of Mr.. Vesper.

GERMANYs CLAIM ON VENE-
ZUELA.

The trouble between Germany and
Venezuela. which the kaiser has asked
permission of the United States to set
tie in his own way, is thus set forth
by writer for the st. Paul Dispatch:
Years ago some enterprising Ger
mans convinced the government, then
temporarily in. that Venezuela needed
railways to open up the country, and
that they would build the roads if
Venezuela would make sundry conces-
sions and give sundry guarantees,
among these one of per cent interest
on the bonds issued to raise the money
with which to build the roads. We may
imagine, prompted by our own expert
ence that Venezuela was assured that
no liability would attach to the guar
anty as the revenues of the road would
meet interest and bonds. ANYWAY.
Venezuela agreed and roads were built
one narrow gauge, three and a half
feet-from Caracas to Valencia, 10
miles. Krupp. the German iron master,
was in on the deal and furnished the
material
No great engineering difficulties were
to be overcome, no extraordinary ex-
pense of construction to be incurred,
but when the Venezuela road was com
pleted the bonds issued to pay for it
amounted to $4,000. 900, or $145,OO0 a
mile, with an annual interest charge of
$l,120.000. Then the operating expenses.
$500 a mile, were made to eat up all
the receipts, leaving the government
to make up the interest the best way it
might It couldn't meet the debt. and
in 1895 an agreement was reached by
which the government issued $40 900, 900
bonds covering this and guarantees to
other railway companies. which were
taken by the Disconto Geschellschaft
at commission of 20 per cent. The
Disconto appropriated $5,200O00 on
account of some liability of the con-
tractors or government claimed to be
due it. besides the $4,000. 600 commission.
and the rest went to paying the other
foreign companies which had built
lines. Castro claims that the Disconto
is only a pay office, receiving govern
ment deposits and paying them out
and that the government owes it moth
ing.
This is the Venezuelan side OF the
case. il is necessary to say: but there
is a probability about it, lent by the
rtch experience of states and cities in

PERMANENT CENSUS
Bill Under Consideration in the
National House.

Washington, Jan. 10.-At the opening
of the session of the house today Mr..
Barney (Wis.) from the committee on
appropriations reported the pension bill
and gave notice that he would call it
up on Monday after the disposal of
District of Columbia business.
Upon motion of Mr.. Hopkins Ill.) the
house then went into committee of the
whole and took up the consideration of
the bill to create permanent census
office.
Mr.. Hopkins in support of the bill,
explained that the subject of establish
ing perm anent bureau had been agi-
tated for many years. Gen. Francis A.
Walker, superintendent of the ninth
and tenth census, and Mr.. Porter, super
intendent of the Eleventh census, as
well as the present director, united in
strongly recommending iton the ground
that it would not only decrease the cost
but would increase the value of the re-
suits.
In reply to questions. Mr.. Hopkins
said that $3.50 clerks had been employ
ed in the bureau, 27OO being still en-
pioyed. If the pending bill passed, he
said, the force would be reduced this
year to 800; next year to $50. in 1905 to
240 and thereafter until 1910 to 200. He
was beSieged by members who wanted
to know the status of the present clerks
in the event of the passage of the bill.
He said that if the bill passed, it was
hoped the other departments could alb
sorb the present temporary clerks. They
could then be placed under the protec-
ton of the civil service and transferred
to other departments. If the bill were
promptly passed, the temporary clerks
by executive order could be made eligi-
BILE for transfer.
Several members. among them Mr.
Mann Gid and Mr.. Corliss mich. },
suggested that the bill be amended to
provide that the clerks be eligible for
transfer.
Mr.. Grosvenor (Ohio) asked if it
would not be wise to authorize the pres
ident to extend the civil service law
over the surplus clerks.
Mr.. Hopkins replied that the subject
had been canvaSsed by the house and
senate committees and had been
thought that such action would not be
expedient.
Mr.. Burkett CNeb.) opposed the bill.
contending that 1t was improper and
inopportune, and asserting that the
course of the debate today demon
strated that the proposed legislation had
not been well matured. He declared
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1902-01-10
IMPROVED MARRIAeE LAWS.

The new code of laws for the District
OF Columbia, which went into effect on
January 1. contains a section providing
that infidelity to the marriage VOW
shall be the only ground for absolute
divorce and that in such case, only this
innocent party may remarry. There
has been much agitation in recent years
in the direction of securing what are
termed reforms in the laws governing
marriage and divorce. especially along
the line of uniformity.
What appears to be needed more than
anything else is not so much more
stringent legal enactments compelling
people to continue in the married state
against their will but laws which will
absolutely forbid divorced persons from
re-entering the matrin oniaI state.
There can be little doubt that many
persons would endure what they might
consider an unpleasant alliance and
make the best of it rather than to be
denied participation in the pleasures
and comforts to be derived from a home
and family ties.
