ASKED ONLY KANNANS.
James h. Heslet Says Mr.. Ware Mis-
understood Washington Move.

Washington dispatch says. In COM
menting upon Commissioner Wares
action in which he prohibited the col
lection of relief funds for Kansas in the
pension bureau, James II. Heslet, of To-
reka secretary Of the local Kansas re-
lief committee. said:
The action of Pension Commissioner
Ware in stopping the circulation or a
subscription paper in the pension office
FOR the relief of the Kansas flood suf~
1erers is causing great deal OF concern
among the Kansas contingent in Wash
4ngtOn and they think Mr.. Ware is la Pr
boring under a misap apprehension IS 10
the nature of the subscription being
taken here.
At a mass meeting Of the people
from that state residing here, which
was attended by about fifty Kansans.
3t was decided to take up a subscrip-
1ion among themselves for the benefit
Of those who suffered in the recent
disastrous floods in their home stats,
in response to the appeal for aid sent
out By Governor Bailey.
AT this meeting a committee was ap-
pointed, consisting of a representative
employed in each department here from
Kansas TO solicit contributions
According to q circular note sent to
each member of the committee. II is
stated that the subscription blanks We're
20 be circulated among and sOhcita lions
connned to citizens residing here who
claim Kansas as their home. although
volunteer contributions from others
would be gladly received
The Kansas people here are at a loss
20 understand why the circulation of
such a subscription should be objected
To by Mr.. Ware or anyone from the
state. as they claim they are only do
ing what they deem TO be their duty
in rendering aid to the unf0rtunates OF
their state.
In view Of the statement of Cover
nor Bailey. it is believed the commits
si0ner will reconsider his action in stop
ping the circulation of the subscription
paper in the pension office where quite
a large sum has already been subscrib-
cd by loyal Kansans."

GUEST OF GERMANS.

the Saengerfest at Baltimore.

Baltimore. Nd, June 16.-President
Roosevelt who was the guest of honor
at the grand concert for the North
eastern Saengerfest arrived at Balti-
more in a special car on the Pennsylva-
mia al 500. The president was accom-
panied by Baron Won Sternberg, the
German ambassador. Senator Louis T.
McComas OF Maryland, and the presi-
dents private secretary, Mr.. Loeb. AS
the party entered the presidents box
the immense audience cheered When
President Roosevelt came before the
great assem- lage every one of the 5000
seats in the auditorium was occupied,
900 singers were on the stage and
standing room was at a premium.
After the tremendous applause sub
sided, the president addressed the au-
dience. He spoke especially of the
early German immigrants to this cOun-
try, of the privations endured by them
and what they wrought in the upbuild-
" of the early German colonists who
settled in Baltimore, he said:
THE people who came here those
and their sons and their grandsons,
played an ever-increasing part in the
history of our people-a part that cul-
minated in the civil war, for every low
er of the union must bear in mind
what was done in this commonwealth
as in the commonwealth of Missouri by
the folk of German birth or origin who
theirs by inheritance or adoption.
In congratulating every man mere to
whom it was given to fight in the great
civil war, in congrat ulating the men OF
Baltimore who in those dark days fol-
lowed the lead of Sigel, Capp and Blu
menberg in playing we'll and nobly
their part in upholidng the hands OF
Abra ham Lincoln. in speaking a word
on the occasion of this great musical
festival I wish to say in the first place
( that I only hope it may be given to me
to listen long enough to you to make
me feel there has been atonement for
requiring me to speak at all. / feel
that the men of this association and of
kindred associations are not only ad-
ding to the common fund OF pleasure,
but are doing genuine missionary work
of a needed kind when they hold such
a festival as this. (Cheers).

our people than TO encourage in them a

PAY FOR THE BOATS.
Several of Those Sent by Ottswa
Were Lost


The Ottawa Herald says. It has been
suggested, and very properly, that the
money to reimburse the owners of the
boats lost or destroyed in Topeka be
raised separate from the relief fund al
ready secured ard that the entire
amount raised for relief purposes BE-
sent in to the state relief committee in
stead of deduction being made for the
losses sustained by the Ottawa rescue
party a Topeka
There is no question but that this
would be the more proper course and
there would be little difficulty in rails
ing enough to pay for the missing
boats. is well as to pay the members
of the rescue party a reasonable sum
for the time which they spent in the
party, doubtless would not care to ac-
cept any pay for their time. Others
made the trip to Topeka at a personal
loss and did work which no amount of
money can equal in value.
They are at least entitled to a tender
Of money to pay them for their time
The contribution is Ottawa's and the
money required for this purpose as we'll
as to make up the loss of the boats
should be raised bv substitution here
instead of being taken from the general
relief fund as was at first proposed.
Attention is called here to the fact
that Ottawa was the first to reach To-
peka with relief and her boats were

this honor, but St. Joe did not reach
