DEFENDED FUNSTON
Washington, April 2S In the house
today Long, Republican of Kansas,
replied to the attack on Funston by
Carmack Democrat, of Tennessee.l He
paid a glowing tribute to Funston as
a soldier and said if any Democratic
statesman accomplished half as much
as Funston he would be candidate
for the presidency. Kansas did not
endorse the criticism of the captor of
Aguinaldo, your modern George
Washington, he said, addressing. the
Democratic sides.

NEW PACKERS COMBINE
They Unite to Control the Supply OF
Eggs and Poultry.

X. c. April 24.-An attempt to
control the egg and poultry produce
of the country is being made by the
leading packing firms and the result
has been an increase in the price of
these products of the farmlthat cannot
be justified alone by the scarcity Of
feed and the high price off beef and
pork. Evidence that the packers are
seeking to control these staple articles
of diet is found in the fact that they
are establishing agencies in the count
ry districts to compete with the com
mission firms through which the large
centers of population are supplied.
Last year at this time eggs were sell
ing at ten cents a dozen to the consum-
er. This is the season when eggs are
cheapest. Yesterday and today the
retail dealers were selling them at
eighteen cents. The same rule applies
to poultry Turkeys that were sold a
year ago for eight and one-half cents
now sell for eleven cents. Even old
hens, alive, bring nine cents a pound,
while broilers are as high as twenty
cents pound. And the prospect is
good for another big advance.
There are two natural causes for an
increase in the price of poultry and
eggs this spring, but not for the
prices that are now quoted. There
wouldp robably have been no com
plant if eggs had stopped at fifteen
cents a dozen. The two causes re-
ferred to are the high price of feed,
owing to the drought last summer,
and the increased consumption of
eggs and poultry as the result of the
high price of beef and pork. Usually
farmers hold their old hens for the
fall selling and keep their young pull
lets over to the next spring. Last
year the old stock was disposed of in
July, because feed was so expensive.
The pullets went on the market in the
fall, so that there, we're few of them left
for laying purposes this spring. The
result was q scarcity Of both hens and
eggs.

GEN. SMITH ON TRIAL
The Defense Admits He Gave Orders
to kill ard Burn"

Manila, April 27-The trial by court
martial of General James H. Smith,
upon the charge OF conductprejudicial
to good order and discipline began
to lay. General Lloyd Wheaton pre-
sided. Colonel Charles A. Woodruff,
counsel for the defense, said he wanted
to simplify the proceedings. He was
willing to admit General Smith gave
instructions to Major Waller to kill
and burn and make Sanar bowling
wilderness, that he wanted everybody
killed capable of bearing arms and
that he did specify all over ten years
of age, as the Samar boysIof that age
were equally as dangerous as their
elders.
Captain David Porter, marine
corps, and Lieutenant John Day,
marine corps, were the only two wit
nesses examined. Their testimony de-
veloped nothing new.

MORROW IN THE RACE
Announces that he will Run For State
Treasurer

Topeka, April %. Senator j. c.
Morrow, of Washington county, today
announced his candidacy for the Re-
publican nomination for state treas
urer. The first inkling the politicians,
except two, had that he was liable to
be candidate, came last Tuesday
morning. 1t created no end of COM
ment. Morrow took in the Norton
convention and while there showed
signs of entering the race. He said he
did not want to go in unless T. T.
Kelly was going to withdraw. He
also told Kelly and others the same
story. But it seems that he has
changed his mind. Kelly has not
withdrawn and Morrow has come out
with an official announcement of his
candidacy.

ONE MORE VICTIM
Another Death Resulted From the
Storm at Joplin.

Joplin, Mo-, April 26-One more
death was recorded today to be charged
against the storm of yesterday, max

The latest victim was John Jones, a
miner, who died at St Johns hospital
today as the result of his injurie
Several other injured persons are
lying at the point OF death and Joplin
is just awakening to the fact that it
had a narrow escape from annihila-
ton. The property loss is proving
greater than at first thought, but that
feature is being ignored in the rush
to make the work of relieving the des-
titute effective. Pursuant to a procla-
nation issued by Mayor Trigg a big
meeting was held today. The gather
ing resolved itself into relief COM

THE CAPITAL is AN ISSUE
Guthrie and Oklahoma City Jealous
of Each Other.

Guthrie, Ok, April 24.-The nomin-
alton of William Cross for Congress
by the Democratic party may force
the Issue of capital location into the
Republican congressional convention,
Guthrie and Oklahoma City have long
been rivals for the permanent capital,
and in every proposition in which the
towns become interested the capital
question is the first to be considered.
Guthrie has felt comparatively safe
with Flynn in Congress, as this is his
home. With the Democratic nominee
coming from Oklahoma City, Guthrie
has grown wary.
Joseph W. McNeal, now an avowed
candidate for the Republican nomina-
tion, lives in Guthrie and politicians
are asking whether this fact will be of
advantage to him in the coming con-
vention. 1t can hardly be doubted
that the citizens of each town regard
less of politics, would prefer the can
didate from their respective town,
which would be to the advantage of
candidate in having the backing of
the town and county in which he lives.
The vote of Oklahoma and Logan
counties would practically Offset each
other, however, and leave the candi-
dates where they started.
From a territorial standpoint, the
people of Oklahoma would be opposed
to having the capital location anissue
inithe campaign, preferring that the
rival towns fight their own battles
This sentiment would be favorable tc
McNeal's nomination. 1t will be used
by other candidates to sidetrack him
and will permit them to do it without
the charge of unfairness and trickerS
that might attach to other campaign
schemes.

AGAINST BEEF TRUST
Colorado to "Assess the Beef Trust
Out of the State"

Denver, Col, April 26.--Attorney
General c. C.. Post began today be-
fore the Colorado state board of
equalization an attempt to prove that
the Armour car lines are owned by
the packing company, and, therefore,
are part OF the beef trust, his
avowed intention being to "assess the
beef trust out of the state" The at
torney general expects to shcw up the
fact that there does not exist combi-
nation among the beef packers. This
being proven to the satisfaction of
the members of the state board of
equalization, this board will be in a
position to do good many things
that will cause the monopoly much
trouble.

GUAGES BLOW AWAY
A SLAP AT FUNSTON
Senator Carmack Deals in Sarcasm
at the Kansan's Expense.

Washington, April 25.-At 2 O'Clock
the Philippine bill was taken up in the
Senate and Mr.. Carmack of Tennes-
see spoke against it.
Senator Carmack, in telling of
speeches not conducive to ending the
war in the Philippines, referred to a
recent speech of General Funston.
whom he described as ''the Jayhawker
brigadier from the wind.swept plains,
the mightiest Sampson that ever
wieldedlthe jawbone of an ass as a
weapon of war" Mr.. Carmack said
that death had cheated Funston of
some illustious victims, such as
ex-senator Sherman. and ex-Presi-
dent Harrison, but there was still
enough to.keep him busy, Papers had
quoted Funston as saying the Presi-
dent entirely approved his speech and
wanted him to accept an invitation
from the junior senator from Massa-
chusetts to go to Boston and talk to
the people there about hanging the
senior senator from Massachusetts,
but the plain truth was that Funston
could not hang anybody. Funston
should go back to the Philippines-to
a land where there was plenty of hemp
and no constitution.
''If men are to be hanged without
regard to law for speaking words cal
culated to incite insurrection, said
he, ''the first neck to feel the strang-
ling clutch of the soaped rope should
be The heroic gullet of Funston. "
Ever since Funston had been in the
Philippines, he said, he had been
pouring fourth TRADES of indiscrimi-
nate insult against the whole people
and had outrageously insulted the
very men upon whom the commission
was relying for aid in pacifying the
country. He had also had it upon
the very highest authority that
speech made by the senator from In
diana (Mr. Beveridgel had been circu-
lated broadcast throughout the coun-
Try WIN an exceedingly pernlclous
effect upon the natives.
The dominant idea of the bill now
before the Senate, said he, was to ex-
plot the Philippines. 1t was pro-
posed to make wholesale grant of
franchises and concessions and to
dispose of the peoples lands to for
eign syndicates and corporations
without giving the people themselves
any voice in the business. The whole
bill was a pitiful evasion of plain
duty. We have,a right to demand, and
the Philippines have a right to de-
mand, that the administration shall at
least define its policy in the Philip
pines.

MERCHANT LOSES BANANAS
HE is CHEATED OUT OF A FULL

IN ALBANY.

About ten days ago a prominent
Brunswick commission merchant had
a car Of ripe bananas, which were en-
route to this city. directed to Albany.
Ga. for fear of a local glut IN the
market. The car in question was re-
consigned to a party Who gave Albany
bank reference. Everything was
thought to be alright by the Brunswick
merchant, until late Saturday after
noon wire was received telling him
that the Albany party was acting
rather suspiciously, and advising aim
to come at once.
The Brunswick merchant, with only
about Is minutes to spare. took the
first train. On arriving at Albany the
party to whom the bananas had been
consigned could not be located. The
bird had flown with the evening ze-
phyrs. Numerous kilograms were sent
out TO different parts of the country,
but as yet nothing further has been
learned of the absconding man. Tne
Brunswick merchant is out the cost
