A GENERAL UPRISING
Is Predicted in Hayti IF Sam
Tries to Hang On.

New York, April 17-Advices from
Port Au Prince by way of Kingston
Jamaica, are. says the Herald, indica-
tive of a far more serious state of af-
fairs in Hayti than is generally known
to the outside world. The recent up
rising in the vicinity of Jacmel, which
was quickly suppressed, is, according to
the Herald's informant but a forerunner
of serious trouble for President Sam.
The letter continues.
THE political situation here is most
serious and every indication points to
a general uprising of the people of
Hayti if President Simon Sam persists
in his announced intention of attempt
ing to remain in power after May Is on
which date his term expires. Many citi-
zens have been imprisoned throughout
the republic. In Port Au Prince the
prisons were not sufficiently strong and
the government gunboats were used.
The entire city of Port Au Prince is
in a state of excitement All doors of
buildings are kept closed whenever pos
sible in fear of conflict between the two
factions

PLACE FOR GRADUATES.
Santa Fe Offices Give Preference
to High School Students.

A new incentive has been created as
an inducement for young men to COM
plete the high school course in Topeka
one of the heads of a department at
the Santa Fe Office building here has
announced that hereafter graduates Of
the high school will be given preference
I'm filing vacancies in the office force.
This custom was begun nearly year
ago, and has resulted in the establish
Inent of permanent custom IN TINS
department to employ only graduates
from the high school. The plan may
spread from this department to all the
departments of the entire general office
building. The plan is of great adVant-
age to the employer, lnasmuch as IL
furnishes employees who have an edu-
cation and are worthy of every promo
tiOn that may come to them, and are
also capable of understanding their
work and taking care OF any and all
work that may come to them by pro-
motions.
II have arranged for two graduates
of the high school to accept positions in
the department to which 1 refer said
Principal L. D. WhittemOre to re-
porter for the State Journal today.
The gentleman who is in charge Of
this department explained to me at the
time we arranged for the first graduate
TO accept a position in that department,
that he had always heretofore been
troubled by having to hire boys and
young men who were without sufficient
education to make them eligible to the
promotions that might come to them.
The selection OF high school graduates
is In itself guaranty that the young
men selected win be proficient and that
their education will entitle them to all
the advances that may come to them
in regular order.
THE Two high school graduates con-
tinued Principal Whittemore, were
employed at a higher salary than those
who nave gone into the Office before
the Inauguration of the new plan This
is q just recognition, and I am happy to
say I hope many of our graduates

tions of this kind where promotion is

have been number Of aggravated

Night before last, while Mrs Otto
Move, of Linden street, was walking
in the vicinity of her home, pushing a
baby carriage, some man sprang from
an alley opening and struck her in the
face. cutting her lips severely, and then
tried to force his hand over her mouth.
The woman Wrenched loose and
screamed. People ran to her rescue and
the scamp escaped.
Late last night, as Miss Bertha Call
and her mother, of McCarty street,
they noticed a negro walking behind. to
whom they paid no attention. At the
mouth of the first alley the negro
stopped and caught Miss Call by the
ankle, throwing her to the sidewalk,

complaint because Of the publicity at

frantic in their desire to come up with

of the offenses against women and girls,
and some night there will be a deadly
reckoning.

MIR. CRANE EXPLAINS 1T.
Tells Why an Open Grave Was Found
at Cemetery.

Mr.. F. L. Crane. son of D. O. Crane
now explains the circumstances about
the finding of an open grave in the To-
peka cemetery.
We were moving the remains to an
other grave" said Mr. Crane, and hav-
ing started late in the afternoon had
not yet uncovered the casket when we
quit for the night, with the intention
of resuming the work early in the
morning. The grave was of a boy who
was buried in 1865 A hole was left
but the remains were not exposed and
If Sergeant Owens saw the glass face
of the coffin, which was so badly de-
cayed that it almost had to be shoveled
cut. he got into the grave and lifted off
the decayed lid of the casket We had
been officially notified by relatives to
remove the remains to another place
The theory of grave robbers would
naturally cause trouble with the pa
irons of the cemetery, and we want the
affair righted -

TO BE SETTLED IN ROME.
Decision Reached Regarding the
Church Lands in philippines.

Washington, April 17.-Archbishop
Ireland, of st. Paul, had a conference
with Secretary Root today following a
talk he has had with the president re-
speoting the Philippines friar lands ques-
ton 1t was the idea Of Archbishop Ire
land and Bishop O'Gorman to have this
complex question settled directly at
Rome, instead of through the archbishop
Of Manila, who, they pointed out, would
have been obliged to delay proceedings
greatly by frequent reference Of every
important phase Of the negotiations to
his superiOrs in the vatican. The gov
eminent here has come TO accept the
ireland and O'Connor view as the most
businesslilSe proposition and that is why
Governor Taft viii stop at Rome on his
way back to Manila and endeavor to
arrange directly the basis for an agree
ment for the transfer OF the lands to the
Philippine government in trust for the
Philippine people
Mgr. Sbarretti favored a settlement Of
the question at Manila, in which case he
would have been appointed archbishop
and would have undertaken the work
himself I'm behalf of the religious orders.
The decision in favor of Rome will in
Eolve a change in his plans.

COFFELT TRIAL is OVER
Attorneys Are Now Talking in
Montgomery Murder Case.

Winfield, Kas., April 17.-Late Thurs
day the state offered the testimony of
several witnesses in rebuttal in the
Montgomery murder case. The defense
had Just finished attacking the credi-
bility of Bert Colby, who secured COT
felt's story of the murder. F. B. Hodg-
son, c. F. Clark. S. H. Montgomery,
all of Enid, Okla. testified as to the
good character of Colby. The state in
troduced two witnesses, Chas. D. Der
ker of Winfield and J. M. Harmon or
Emporia for the purpose Of inpeaen-
ing the testimony OF Robert jackson
(colored) of Bliss. who had said he saw
Coffelt on the Bliss platform the even
jackson had told the county attorney
of this county a few days after the
murder that it was the day after the
murder that he saw him. After this
the defense asked to introduce certain
witnesses in surrebuttal, to show the
good character Of Jackson, bit were
denied.
Both sides then announced that the
evidence was all in, and Judge Law
renee stated the order of the argu-
ments, which was as follows The
state should open, followed by two ar
guments by the defense, then one by
the state, one by the defense, the state
closing c. W Roberts opened the ar
gument, giving a clear history and ap-
plicatiOn of the testimony. He was fol-
lowed by H. c. Hargis for the defense.
It is the prevalent opinion here that
the state has a good case. The de-
lenses alibi was rather weak in the re-
spect that their witnesses were not of
the best, and the stories they told while
they held together in the main, were
weak in detail.
The arguments are continuing today,
and may close late this afternoon.

Washington. April 17.-For the first
time since President Arthur's admins
tration the old White House is to have
thorough renovation on artistic lines.
Mrs. Roosevelt has had her attention
called to the building and to the need
of new furnishings and adornn ents 10

has gTOWn the list of favored guests III
the Roosevelt household that they have
found it necessary to have recourse to
the famous east room as q dining room,
which by the way, was q part of the
original design Of the house. One fea-
ture of the plan OF renovation is to turn
this great east room into a state dining
room, involving a Transformation of the
decorations in those of the colonial
style with open fire places. The present
old-fashiOned flooring will give place to
a new parduet floor of hard polished
woods, and an enormous rug specially
designed to suit the decorative scheme
of the room viii be woven in one piece
so that the room may be easily turned
into a charming ball room.
The White House dining service is .
strange condemnation of antique and
modern glass. silver and porcelain. and
so many pieces have disappeared that it
is no longer sufficient either in quality
or IN mum Def OF pieces 10 serve large
dinner parties The new service which
is wanted viii be of sevres porcelain
The present dining room viii be used
for small dinner parties. 1t also Will be
redecorated. the present yellow color
scheme being obnoxious to the family.
The entrance hall of the house also
is to be renovated. in order that in
general tone and character of decora-
ton it may accord with the embelIished
east room. In addition to these changes
there is need for additional lighting ia
cilities and also for a stair case to the
attics, a very urgent need in case of
fire, the servants now being dependent
entirely upon the elevator. Much new
furniture of modern style is required. in
place of the nondescript now scattered
through the portions of the house. de-

To defray the expenses of this under
taking an estimate of about $4,000 was
submitted to congress and as reported
today the sundry civil bill contains the
necessary allotment.

Old coughs and deep-rooted
