1.-THE TRUST PROBLEM"
Friday Night, January 9, Next Lecture
Course Number.

Mrs. Carter has provided a rare treat
for holders of season tickets in her lee
ture course. Size has secured the best
talent, each lecturer especially posted on
his particular subject. The next num-
Der will be THE Trust Problem by f
w. Blackmar, Phi. D., professor of history
and sociology in the University of Kan
sas, at Garfield hall next Friday night.
and the present indications are that the
hall Will be filed. 1t is hardly probable
that any season ticket holder will be
absent and already the demand for single
tickets has exceeded any former lecture.
Everybody is more or less interested in
this knotty problem and is anxious TO
hear it discussed by so able and elo-
quent a man as Prof Blackmar. Mrs
Carriers efforts to secure for Wichita
such able orators on timely topics should
be appreciated and a crowded house next
Friday night should be the evidence.

But the trouble is. that while We cat

many people remain thin and under

DAVID HARCM

The dramatization of Westcotts widely
read and phenomenally successful book.
David Harum,'' will be made known at
the Crawford tonight. There is little TO
be said regarding the extent and scope
of the popularity of David Harum" as
sketch of life and characters in CEN
trail New York. The publishers of the
book can prove the vast sale which the
work has enjoyed. but is beyond the
power of anyone to even estimate the
great number of its readers. This caE
be the more readily understood when il
is realized that one copy of the work
has travelled through many households.
In dramatizing the book the fact was
never lost sight of that in order to make
it successful play all of those things
which endeared it to its readers would
have to be incorporated in the comedy.
The work was tried about two years and
a half ago and its success since that time
has been phenomenal. Nearly 200 of the
performances were given in New York
and it has had long long runs in Chicago,
Philadelphia and Boston
The readers of the book will be pleased
to know that in working it into play
shape. very few liberties were taken with
it. A strict adherence to the text was
insited upon. There are three acts and
all of the scenes are laid in bonneville,
New York. The audience sees in the first
act. David's bank, Aunt Polly's house
with its old-fashioned plants and flowers
and the big barn in the background. The
second act shows Harums Office just be-
hind the counting room of the bank. an
office Uttered with equine trappings ard
pictures of famous horses and the third
act shows the sitting room in Aunt
Folly's house.
All of the familiar characters of the
book are in the play. There is pretty
Mary Blake. John Lenox, that miserable
old skn-fint, 'Zeke Swinney; the village
tough. Bill Montaig; the poor widow Gull
lom, dea rold Aunt Polly. pert Chef Tim
son, the landlord of the Eagle tavern.
Amos Eibright: David's factotum. Dick
Larribee; General Woolsey and Deacon
Perkins The horse trade is shown in
the opening. act and in the closing act
there is the story of David's visit to the
circus. The play ends with the Christmas
dinner and the engagement of Mary
Blake and John Lenox.

GOING AFTER
THE RAILROADS
Chamber of Commerce Wants
Some Bills Passed
Rail ROAD COMMISSIONERS
Are to be Given Power to En-
force Their Rulings.

President Davidson, of the Chamber OF
Commerce, has appointed the committee
10 draft resolutions and prepare plans
for the new railroad commission bill
which will give the state railroad COM
missioners more power and also give the
appointment of the commissioners 10 the
governor. The committee selected is COM
posed of ]. " Haymaker. Albert Van
Zandt and S. S. Ashbaugh.
The appointment of this committee was
in accordance with the wish of the board
OF directors of the organization as ex-
pressed at the meeting Monday afternoon
1t grew out of discussion of the Texas
railroad law.
Under instructions of the Chamber OF
Commerce Mr.. Haymaker had procured
copies of the railroad laws of Texas.
In that state the railroad commissioners
are very powerful and the roads are
compelled to accept their decisions as
final. Before the bill became a law the
railroads fought it and after the gov
ernor signed it and the commission made
like; the matter was taken into the court
and the law has been declared constitu-
tional in all cases. The railroad respect
it. Within their own state il is said that
the Texas railroad commission is far
more powerful than the Interstate Com
merce Commission in that they have the
power behind them to enforce their rul-
irgS.
The Texas commissioners virtually
make the rates and the railroads accept
them Whenever there is an alleged in
justice instead of going into the courts
the matter is taken to the board of rail-
read commissioners and the decision rem
dered here is final. The members of the
board are appointed by the governor.
In Kansas the members of the board Of
the executive council and they have little
power to enforce the rulings The Texas
law has been discussed and it is believed
that law similar to it would be of much
benefit to the people Of Kansas. and the
Wichita Chamber of Commerce has taken
the initiative in getting the bill before
the Kansas legislature.

TOWN OVERWHELMED,
NEARLY A HUNDRED ARE
KILLED N AS MANY
INJURED,
Houses Crushed Like Eggshells I'm
der Masses of Rock Hurled
Downward From
an Immense
Height.

Vancouver, B. c., April 29.-Pri-
waite advices from Frank, Alberta,
state that 40 are dead owing to a
mine disaster, which occurred there
at 4 O'Clock this morning. The wires
to Frank r down and details of the
disaster are not yet obtainabIe. The
first announcement was that there
had been a volcanic eruption, but
this is generally d~iscredited.
Seattle, WASH, April %. About
4:30 this morning, as the night shift
at the coal mines was preparing to
come off work, a volcanic eruption
occurred on top of Turtle mountain,
! which overlooks the town of Frank,
in the district OF East KootenaI, B.
G. The entire top of the mountain
was removed by the disturbance and
millions of tons OF rock were scatter
ed over the town. Mine buildings
and the mine entrance were buried
under a pile Of debris hundreds of
feet deep. Nine houses in the village
r buried under the rock. Their
roofs were crushed in like egg shells
and every n inside the houses per-
ished.
All the men working at the mine
on outside jobs were instantly killed.
1t is supposed that one hundred and
twenty were thus killed, although
the exact number is not known, for
the records of the Office and the pay
roll are buried under an immense
pile of broken rock. Those who were
working in the shaft probably num-
bered tw~enty-eight Or thirty. These
are all imprisoned by the debris and
are undoubtedly doomed. 1t will
take days to dig down through the
piles of rock and it will be impossible
to rescue them. 1t is not likely that
viva SAA\4A NS@A pONA1CS Will D0 re-
covered for two or three weeks.
People in town are panic-stricken,
for the mountain is still scattering
rock and no n knows how soon the
disaster may be duplicated. The I'm.
fortunate inhabitants are divided be.
tween a desire to stay and bury their
dead and their impulse to seek a
place of safety. The disaster destroy
ed the n telegraph line from the
town, with the result that only mea-
gre details have been received of
what seems likely to develop into
the worst catastrophe in the history
of British Columbia.
The mine was owned by H. l..
Franks, who had negotiated the sale
for several mines. The deal was to
be finally closed May 1.

may never flag. He must be tall

AT twenty she said: II want a

thy of a woman with the bravery of

little dissipated, because that always
adds a charm. He must be, how
ever, accomplished to the last de-

At twenty-five she said: "I want

happens to have a past, he must also
have a future; a man whom [ can

VISITS THE POPE,
THE KING AND HIS HOLI-
NESS CONVERSED FOR
HALF AN HOUR.
King Edward To-Day Reviewed
$4,000 italian Troops AS
sembled On the Pa
rade Grounds.

Rome, April % King Edward
to-day reviewed q 5000 Italian troops
assembled on the parade grounds.
King Edward left the British en-
bassy for the Vatican during the af-
ternoon in a closed carriage, accom-
panied by Colonel Lamb, the Brit
ish military attache, and followed by
another carrirge containing members
of his suite. The king wore a field
marshal's uniform.
1t was remarked that, contrary to
the usual etiquette, King Edward
did not lunch at the British en-
bassy, but had luncheon at the OUR
inal and, after q brief stopat the en-
bassy, drove to the Vatican.
Thus far did King Edward give
way to the Vatican desires. The
carriage in which the king drove to
the Vatican did not belong to the
QuiriIal, as a carriage Of the king
of italy could not get within the
precincts of the apostolic palace.
KING Edward was escorted by the
italian %cuirassiers and the route was
lined with Italian royal troops. AT
the entrance to the papal territory
the Gordon about the king was taken
up by the pope's Swiss guard. He
was met in the court yard of ST. Da-
maso by Monsignor NStoner, the
highest British Roman Catholic &C.
clesiastic in Rome, and Prince Pus-
poll, who accompanied him up the
great staircase to the ante-chamber.
The king was Immediately admitted
to the papal room. He was met at
the threshold by the pope, and the
door was closed at once. The king
and his holiness %conversed for hall
an hour. When the king was tax
ing his leave the pope crossed the
with his guest and babe fare
well to King Edward while stand
ing at the door of the chamber. The
king then returned to the Quirinal
palace.
Commenting on the call of King
Edward on the pope to-day, the
Voce Della Verita says the pope
wished to give a proof of his SYM
pathy with the faithful British Cath
olics in honoring their sovereign,
and King Edward wishes to give all
his catholic subjects, especially the
Irish, proof of his sympathy in hon
Oring their pontiff. King Edwards
vleit, the paper says, is a great his
torieal page for Catholics, for it is a
sign Of the cessation of sectarian spir-
it in Great Britain against the Cath
Ole church. The article concludes:
"Long live Leo; long live Ed
ward; long live Great Britain"
