GOLD IN IT, HE SAYS
DR.. Fahrig Makes Report on Kansas
Shale Tests.

Topeka, May 2.-Dr. e. f. Fahrig,
of the Philadelphia Commercial mu-
scum, stakes his professional reputa-
tion on the assertion that there is gold
In the Kansas shale and that it can be
handled at reasonable profit. He
makes this declaration in a report
submitted tonight, showing mill runs
Of twelve different patches of shale.
The shale in the twelve runs averaged
So. so gold per ton.
DR.. Fahrig, when asked what the
cost of extraction would be per ton,
simply said: 1.-The shale can be
handled at a reasonable profit"
Men of experience say it can be
handled in mill of 100 tons daily
capacity at 81 a ton or less, which
would make Kansas shale CONNER
cial proposition with the Fahrig
process.
DR.. Fahrig made his report tonight
to the Topeka men who advanced S2,-
500 to erect mill here and to employ
him to make the the tests. They were
delighted at the showing, and will
take steps at once to erect a mill in
the shale fields. The.7 have no land
to sell.
The tests were made by mill built
here. The machinery came from
Philadelphia. DR.. Fahrig used his
electrolytic process. He superintended
the work himself.

PROBING BEEF TRUST
f. &. Crow, Estate Attorney General
to Investigate

Kansas City, May l, E. G. Grow,
attorney general of Missouri, and his
assistant, s. B. Jeflries, arrived in
this city this morning from Jefferson
City, to get evidence to prove that
there is a Packing House trust. Mr.
Grow did not remain here long, but
went to st. Joseph to talk with retail
butchers in that city. Mr.. Jeffries re
mained here all day and had confer
ence with several retail butchers.
The attorney general and his assis.
tant hope to get witnesses here and in
st. Joeph who will go to Jefferson
City Tuesday, when the petition of the
attorney general asking for an inquiry
into the methods of packers doing
business in Missouri will come up for
a hearing in the supreme court.
"There is Beef trust operating in
Missouri and we can crush it by law
If the retail butchers will help the at
torney general and myself to get evil
dence," said Mr.. Jeffries at the Mid
land hotel this morning. However,
the butchers that l met here today fear
the power of the packers and for that
reason it is very difficult for me to get
the evidence that is needed. l called
on several retail butchers this morn
ing. They said: 'Of course, Mr.. JEFF
fries, we know there is a combination
of packers here, but five say SO pub
licly we will be crushed.
"The packers are so powerful that
they can make things very uncomfort-
able for us if we incur their i'll will.
We can show you that combine ex-
lists, but there are few butchers who
would dare to go on the witness stand
and testify against the trust

ELECTRIC LINE Is A GO
Talked Of Kansas City--Topeka Line
is to be Built.

Kansas City, Mo-. May A. 4.--Willard
e. Winner, promoter of the proposed
electric line between Kansas City,
Lawrence and Topeka, yesterday made
this announcement:
''The Kansas City, Lawrence & To-
peka Railroad Company has been
financed and the construction COM
pany, which has the contract for grad
ing the roadbed, will begin work on
the east bank of the Kaw river, op-
posite Kansas City, Kas Tuesday or

money sufficient to carry on the work
of building the line were closed yester
day and there is absolutely no doubt
that the road will be built.

MAY MOVE SHOPS
Union Pacific May Locate Them at
UODeka.

Kansas City, May ga dispatch
from Topeka says that the Union
Pacific Railroad company has under
consideration plan TO remove its
shops from Kansas City, Kas., to that
city. While no report of this kind
has been received by officials of the
Union Pacific in Kansas City, Kas..
the story is given some credence. The
Union Pacific claims that it is con-
tinually hampered in Wyandotte coun-
ty on account of the tax question,
while it is almost certain that the road
would be relieved of taxation by the
Shawnee county official, if it were to
remove its shops to Topeka. Another
thing, the shops will soon have to be
rebuilt. The present shops have been
standing for years. The shops could
be rebuilt in Topeka as easily as in
Kansas City, Kas., and the only in
convenience would be the removing of
the machinery, which would not be a
great task.
The Topeka Commercial Club has
already taken the matter up and will
probably offer inducements to the
Union Pacific to remove to that city.
The Union Pacific shops and repair
yards in Kansas City, Kas., cover
about twenty acres in what is known
as the Fifth ward. About 500 men are
employed sthe year round, and the
shops are looked upon as one OF the
city's best institutions. The Union
Pacific shops were the starting of Kan
sas City, Kas., then known as old
Wyandotte. Over thirty-fve years
ago the Union Pacific established it's
eastern terminus in that city and To-
Gated shops on the levee, in the north
ern part of the city. In 1874 the shops
we're removed TO their present loca-
ton, more building we're erected and
new machinery placed in them. Year
by year the capacity Of the shops has
been increased and employment given
to greater number of men.
If the shops were to be removed it
would mean loss of at least 5000 in
population to Kansas City, Kas., and
perhaps more. If the shops were to
be rebuilt on the present site it would
mean a greater benefit to the city.

DEFENDED GEN. FUNSTON
Senator SpOOner Called Down the
Critical Politicians.

Washington, May Sin the Senat
today, referring TO General Funston,
Senator Spooner Of Wisconsin, said
the general may have talked too much
but, if he had, he had done no more
than senators who are not in military
life had done about this war in the
Philippines. The charge had been
made this way, said he, that
Funston fought his way to
fame with the "iawbone of an
ass" That was unjust, unworthy of
those who made il. Funston had won
fame as soldier by leading the brav-
est of brave men in battle and had
won at the same time the commenda-
tion of President Mckinley, one of
the most beautiful characters in the
life of the nation. Funston bad not
won his fame with the 'jawbone of an
ass, but with his sword.
In the senate OF the United States
OF all places, said Mr.. Spooner, the
effort ought not to be made to be
smirch the reputation and the honor
of the army. Outrages probably had
been committed in isolated instances
in the Philippines. He condoned no
outrages of any kind. All charges
officially made of such outrages would
be Investigated thoroughly and un-
doubtedly the guilty would be
punished

CALLS HIM DOWN
Senator Burton, of Kansas, Goes After
Senator Carmack.

Washington, May LIN the senate
today Senator Carmack was called
down in the most effective manner by
Senator Burton. Carmack referred
to General Funston's statement that
Aguinaldo had told him that he had
Luna killed because he feared that
Luna would take his dictatorship from
MIN and then Carmack charged that
Governor Taft had testified before the
Philippine comission that Funston
had told the governor that Aguinaldo
had said to General Funston that he
had killed Luna in self-defense. Seua-
tor Burton read all the evidence of
Governor Taft on this subject which
clearly showed that Senator Carmack
had misquoted Governor Taft and the
governors evidence instead of con-
tradict!ng General Funston, support
ed him in every particular. Senator
Burton, in commenting on Carmack' s
malevolent attack on Funston, placed
the tennessee senator in an unenviabl
light and 1t is generally admitted in
the senate, even by Carmack's own
party associates, that the Kansas
senator completely worsted his ad-
versary in the debate. 1t was Senator
Burton's first public appearance in
the senate in q running debate

GUBERNATORIAL RACE
Both Sides Claims Victory Eight
Counties to Hear From

Topeka. May 3. -Ninety-seven of
the 100 counties have chosen delegates
to the Republican state convention,
and have elected 955 delegates.
For the nomination for governor
the battle is far from won. w. j.
Bailey is in the lead, but the zeal with
which ne continues to fight for dele
gates is proof that he has not yet
secured enough delegates. Every
inch OF his way has been fought by the
other candidates since his unexpected
run of good luck in the Fifth district.
The contest has been won and lost
several times since it began.
First the anti Bailey men gained
prestige by taking some counties
away from Bailey in the First district,
and Cole stock went skyward. Then
Bailey pushed away ahead by getting
county after county in the Seventh,
and when he got Pottawatomie, in the
Fourth, away from Richter and Mil
Ter, his managers looked upon the
contest as won. Then came his sue
cesses in the Fifth district, and Cole
got out of the race. 1t was expected
that Cole's retirement would give the
nomination to Bailey, but ]. A.
Troutman took the lead on the anti
Bailey side and regained in the Third
district what had been lostin the Fifth.
This week closes with both sides ad-
mitting, by actions, if not by words,
that it will take more than one ballot
in the convention to decide.

OPPOSITION FROM BELL 20
Agents of the Telephone Trust Alleged to
Be at Work Against New System,

Agents of the Telephone Trust Alleged to
Be at Work Against New System.
It is reported today that the repre-
sentative of the Bell Telephone COM
pany are in Kenosha using every in
f1uence possible to prevent the build.
of an independent system in Kenosha.
The report is given out by W. c. Helm
roth, who is promoting the new sys-
tenn and Mr.. Heinroth claims that the
agents of the company are planning to
ask the Council for a franchise in
which great offers will be made to the
city, but which will never be carried
out.
Mr.. Heinroth announced that the
lines Of the Bristol Telephone com
pany would be connected with the in
dependent line in Kenosha as soon as
it was built, and that shortly after the
line was built in Kenosha an indepen-
dent system would be completed to
Chicago and Milwaukee, thus giving
to the patrons of the Kenosha connec-
tons service in every city reached by
phone.
The agita ton is having a good eff
feet on the Wisconsin company nd al
ready arrangements are beng m ade to
improve the local exchange and fur
nish better local service. These i'm
provements will be more extensive
when the work of building the new
lire is started. It is thought that the
Wisconsin company will meet any rate
made by the new company in Kenosha.
Mr.. Heinroth, in speaking OF the
plans of the company in Kenosha,
spoke as follows:
"Chas. A. Sterling, who is asking a
franchise from the Council and is or
ganizing local company to build and
take charge of the Independent Te1e-
phone Exchange in Kenosha, is in the
city for that purpose and disclaims
any intent to own or control the fran
chise or Exchange and expects to leave
the entire management of the COM
pany in the hands of local board Of
directors if the franchise is secured.
The subscription lists are open for To-
cal subscriptions and several of the
business men have already signed for
the stock of the company as well as
being subscribers to the telephones.
No charge is to be made to the sub
scribers until at least 400 are secured"
