THEY COME EARLY.
Applications for Work in Harvest
Fields Already Coming.

Already T. 3. Gerow. director of the
state free employment bureau, is le-
ceiving applications for work i'll the
harvest fields from men outside of the
state. He has within the last few
days received ten or q dozen letters of
this character. Some of them come
from as far east as New York. One
Iowa man wants work for so others in
the Kansas harvest fields. Another Of
fers to send ten men.
1t is supposed that many of these
meE are young fellows who want 10
leave their farm homes in the east and
come to Kansas to work for while
with a view to renting land and event
ually buying farms for themselves.
They have heard of others doing this
and they want to do it also. In the
last three or four harvests, more partic-
ularly in 1900 and 1901, many men came
into the state, found work in the har-
vest fields, and after the harvest went
on to threShing cahines. Then in the
fall they rented some land and put in
wheat crop of their own. A wheat crop
needs no attention after it is in the
ground until it is ready for harvest, SO
they had plenty of time to make a Iv
ing While their crop was growing. In
this way a great many young men
from other states have secured a start
in Kansas, and many others will probd-
bly, do the same thing the coming year.
In the western part of the wheat belt
one good crop of wheat will pay for the
land on which it grows. Further east
the land is, of course, worth more.
Mr.. Gerow will proceed along the
same lines that he did last year in Sc
curing data concerning the number of
men needed in each county. He viii
make inquiries from the county clerks
about the middle of May or little later
as to the conditions and the probable
needs of the wheat raisers. Just before
harvest begins he will secure definite
data and begin to gather the men,
sending them where they are needed.
Mr. Gerow thinks that the railroads
should make steady harvest rate. in
force every day in the week for harvest
hands, instead of a rate in force only
two days IN the week, as has been done
heretofore He says the men will not
wait for the harvest rate. but win beat
their way on freight trains to the near
est point where they know they can get
work If the harvest rate is in force
every day the men viii take advantage
of it instead of beating their way on
freight trains

faculty then agreed to the arrangement
with the Droviso that chaperons attend
the meetings. Yesterday it reversed it

reminder of the old blue-nose days

cottages were not permitted to see

CLARK BRANCHES OUT.
Goes After Street Railway System in
Los Angeles.

Los Angeles, Cal, April 9.-The Times
this morning says: 1t was accepted as
a fact Yesterday that Senator William
A. Clark of Montana represents the
Southern Pacific in the application for
the celebrated blanket" franchise for
an S2-miie street railway system in Les
Angeles.
Any doubt that might have existed
is disDelled by the discovery of the
holding of a midnight meeting of q
Quartette of men who cemented the
bond between the Southern Pacific and
Mr. Garland, who acts as agent for the
franchise applicants. This meeting was
held q the Office Of Attorney Clarence
Miller in the Bryson block. and those
present were W F. Herrin. general
counsel for the Southern Pacific: Wal
ter NJ Garland. and Attorney Clarence
Miller.
At this meeting was born the plan
that seems destined to wreck the policy
of the transportation family and which
already has caused Henry r. Hunting
ton to sever his official relation with the
southern Pacific company. Mr.. Hunt
ingtOn has been for a long time director
and Wee president Of the Southern Pa
cific but the attack of the corporation
upon his interests makes it impossible
for him to continue. If he has not al
ready resigned he will do so.
This news comes from headquarters.
It marks an episode of national imDor-
lance in railroading-the passing of the
successor of c. P Huntington, one or

New Orleans. April 9.-Captain var
necke of the Norwegian steamer David,
which has arrived here from Ceiba
Spanish Honduras reports an exciting
experience with the Honduran gunboaJ
Iatumbla. The David was off the north
coast Of Honduras when the Tattumbla
hove in sight and commanded the mer-
chairman to put into Utilla, against the
orders of the captain of the David
The ratumbla was in command of
Colonel Vilarde, who put a half dozen
Honduran soldiers on board the David
to insure the proper carrying out of his
orders. Captain Warnecke of the David
objected, saying that he had no business
in the harbor of Utilla, and protested
against going so far out of his course
The commander of the Tatumbla in
sisted that the David proceed where he
ordered her to so.
Captain Walnecke argued that he
was off the coast of Honduras looking
for native pilot to take the ship to
Ceiba, which was his objective point
but ne had to change his course and
steam for Utlla- The captain of the
David feared that Colonel Viiarde was
up to some trick and intended to seize
his ship to take government troops from
that place to the mainland. or maybe
the Iatumhla was short of coal ana
wanted a fun supply from the David.

BITTER FEELING OVER
BLUE LAWS CRUSADE

PHILADELPHIA, Pa. March 2S.-
Bitter feeling has developed in the
fight for the repeal of the blue laws,
and two sturdy bands of reformers
threaten war at the polls. The Sab
batarian society which is fighting the
repeal, issued statement through
Secretary Vail, in which 1t is set forth
that the work of this organization Is
indorsed and supported by hundreds
of BARRIERS and small shopkeepers who
want to keep their places closed on
Sunday and who are unwilling to have
their competitors keep open.
The fight for the repeal is being
made by the Allied Business Men of
Philadelphia who contend that the
blue laws are menace to all citi-
zens and the basis for blackmail. 1t
is charged by the Sabbatarian society
that the cases tried before Magistrate
German were instituted to Offset re-
cent arrests of small storekeepers by
the Sabbatarian society, which Mr.
Vail represents.
c. j. Field, secretary of the allied
Business Men reiterated his determi.
nation to swear out warrants for the
arrest of every class of workmen and
to stop all manner of Sunday work un
til the pressure is made so strong
that the Legislature must repeal tho
blue laws.
