PRINGLE HAS OVER SO.
Will Win Speakership Without
Difficulty.

More than fifty members Of the lower
house have declared Fopenly that they
will vote for Pringle for speaker, and
a good number have not yet reached
Pringle who have not yet announced
themselves. If Books OF Lincoln allows
Miller, his Republican opponent, to
have the Lincoln county seat without
a contest, az he has evidently agreed
to do, it Will require - votes to elect
the speaker. Already more than that
number have publicly declared them
selves for Pringle.
The Barker managers are today cir
culating a paper asking members to
agree to vote for Barker, the agreement
not to be binding unless IS signatures
are secured. They are telling some
of the members that they 90 not ex-
pect to elect Barker but they want to
make a test of their strength"
This is done because some Of the MEM
bers who have been for Barker are be-
coming somewhat weak in their support I.
They have other interests at stake be-
side the speakership, and they would
like TO participate in the Prfngle caucus
so as to have a hand in naming the
other officers and employees of the house
In order to get them on record and keep
them from going into the Pringle caucus
an effort Is being made to get them to
place themselves on record by securing
their signatures to the agreement.
Another Stanley conference will be

JOHN COLLINS LOSES.
Refused a New Trial by SUI
preme Court.

The last hope of John Collins for a
new trial vanished today when the su-
preme court handed down an opinion
affirming the decision of Judge Hazen
in refusing to grant a new trial on a
writ of coram nobis.
John Collins attorneys contended
that he was kept from appealing to
the supreme court because the court
stenographer was unable to make up
the record for the appeal in the case
in the time allotted for the work, and
consequently a writ of coram nobis
was asked from Judge Hazen, which
would give Collins a new trial. Judge
Hazen refused to grant it. and the SUI
preme court, in UNFOLDING the lower
court. says in its syllabus:
1.-THE writ of error coram nobis will
not lie to vacate a judgment of convic-
ton and secure q retrial of the ac-
cused, because of his inability within
statutory limits of time to prepare a
record in appeal to this court, showing
the errors of which complaint was
made. Such writ lies only to correct
errors of fact in ignorance or disre-
gard of which the Judgment was pro-
nOunced, and to relieve from which no
other remedy exists"

SUGAR Hold UP.
Beet Men Dictate Terms to
President and Congress.

Washington. Jan. 10.-For three days.
representatives of the beet sugar indus
try have been in this city and other beet
sugar producers from other states. Sen
ator Burrows, who last spring opposed
the Cuban legislation then pending, has
been in the conference. Today Senator
Burrows had long conference with
President Roosevelt during which, it is
understood, he indicated that the Cuban
reciprocity treaty was not satisfactorily
to the beet sugar interests Of his state
and that it was likely to encounter ser
ious opposition unless it could be
amended.
After mature consideration of the
treaty the sugar producers had conclud-
ed that the treaty was open to objection
in that it did not insure stability OF
tariff rates for any clearly specified
period. What the producers desire is
stability of rates which would enable
them to put additional capital in their
industry and develop it with all insur-
ance of success. = The strong intimatiOn
is that unless an amendment can be
made to the pending treaty fixing the
rates between this country and Cuba
for five years, the Michigan congressiOn-
al delega ton will feel constrained to Op-
pose ratification of the treaty. In this
opposition. it is said, the Michigan con-
gresham viii be Joined by others repre-
senting sugar producing states.
So far as known. the president has
not indicated what his attitude might
be in regard to the preservation of the
pending treaty.

traordinarily soothing to the eyes, and
all those present at the demonstration
spoke enthusiastically of the new inven-
ton.

at Pest House.

The father and mother of ". H.
Damn, the smallpox patient are in
town. They are Mr.. and Mrs. William
Damn of Meriden. They came here
with several well defined ideas. They
believe that their son does not have
smallpox, because he had the disease in
its worst form only eight months ago.
They believe THAI he is not getting the
best possible treatment at the Topeka
pest house They think Topeka may be
prejudiced against him because he was
sent here from AtchisOn.
Mr.. and Mrs. Damn went to the
Santa F'e hospital Thursday afternoon
and asked to be allowed to see their boy
The hospital authorities refused them
this permission. Then they asked to be
allowed TO take the boy to his home in
Merden, and care for him. This re-
quest was also refused. They then Of
fered to rent a house in Topeka and go
into quarantine with the boy for the
purpose of nursing him through his
sickness. Even this request was denied.
Mrs. Damn says she thinks her son
has been poisoned by copper wires while
working as a Santa Fe operator at
AtcFisen. She says she is willing to go
out to the pest house and take care o.
her boy if the city officials will allow her
to do

Until today 1.-THE Sultan of Sulu'' had
the record for big advance sales. To-
day the colored folks sent The Sultan

beach. Eighty-two numbers were given
out for His Sulu Highness.'' One hun
dred and thirty eight numbers had been
taken this morning before the tickets
began to sell for Williams and Walker
Seventy-tWo persons were in line in the
cold when the store was opened at Z

lasted about as long as a watermelon
would. Three-ffths of the first floor was
sold before the line broke.
The coming of Williams and Walker in
In Dahomey'' is an interesting amuse-
ment event to everybody, but to the
negroes it has the added charm of a

people are better theater patrons than
their white brethren when something is
