SPECIAL MEETING CITY COUNCIL.
Met. to Have Streets Opened Up.
New DUMPING Ground.


The city council held a special meet
ing yesterday afternoon. the object OF
which was to devise ways and means
by which more of our streets could
be opened up.
The mayor was in favor Of putting a
large force OF men at work and have
them opened up, and said that com.
plants come to him every day about
the streets being blocked, and that
some OF the citizens had to go around
several blocks sometimes in order to
get to the city.
Some of the aldermen thought II
the delinquent taxpayers would put in
their time or money that the work
could be done without any trouble.
The matter was finally settled by
the clerk being instructed to furnish
the street commissioner with a list
OF the delinquents with instructions
for them to work or pay, whichever
they choose.
Alderman Young stated to the coun-
ell thai he had about closed a con
tract with party for a dumping ground

dren-FataIIy Injuries Himself.

ST. Louis, March 12.-Adolph Krauss

night killed his wife and six children
with sledge-hammer He then
knocked himself unconscious with the
hammer, and at midnight was dying

signed Early last night John Krau ~.
a brother. went to Adolph"s house.
The lights were out but the door was
unlocked, and this aroused his suspic-
ion. He entered the house, and upon
striking a light found that there had
been tragedy.
From all that can be learned Adolph
krauss entered the house some time
yesterday afternoon, armed with a
sledge-hammer. without warning he
struck his wife on the head. killing
her instantly. Then, seizing his first
child, IL years old, he dealt her fatal
blow. The other five children were
killed similarly, the youngest being
a six-months-old baby. Krauss then
placed the seven bodies side by side
on the floor ia one room, seized the
hammer and dealt aiuself blow on
the head. He fell unconscious almost
in line with his victims. When John
Krauss discovered the tragedy he i'm.
mediately summoned the police
Adolph Krauss will probably die.

THE PRESIDENTS PERSISTENCE
Trying to Force the Confirmation Of

Trying to Force the Confirmation OF
One Of His Appolntees.
Washington. March 12.-Another
chapter in an interesting story was
written today when the president sent
to the senate the appointment of "a
number of postmasters IN Texas
Among these was the name Of Dal-
las Herbert at Commerce. Herbert
was originally appointed during the
first session of the Fifty-seventh CON
gress, but was never confirmed, being
one of the few presidential appo,ptees
who were left "in the air" at the close
OF the first session. Subsequently
Herbert was reappointed as a vacation
appointee, but the senate during the
session just closed again refused to
confirm him and he was again among
those who at the end of the session
had received favorable action at the
hands Of the president, but not from
the senate. Determined apparently to
make his appointment stick, Roosevelt
has now sent Herbert"s name to the
senate again. In the event the sen
ate refuses to confirm him he will
probably be again named as recess
appointment Members Of the senate
committee on postoffices and postroads
decline to tell the nature OF
charges against Herbert. Last year
1t was said that the principal objection
to him was based on the fact that he
had lived in Commerce but a short
while.

days advices to the State Department
Indicated n regular development OF the
new government Of Panama.
The most important announcement
indicative OF n speedy establishment OF
full diplomatic relations with the new
republic was the appointment of Phil
ippe Bunau-Varilla rs the agent OF
Panama In the United States.
With him the United States govern
ment will transact any necessary busi-
ness in an unofficial way pending the
appointment OF regular ministers plen-
ipotentiary. He is in Washington.
Reports have reached Paris that Co.
lombia is sending n large army over
land to capture Panama and Colon.
The State Department has decided
that so far as II Is concerned 1t regards
the treaties that govern Colombia. or
as to New Granada. as still In force.
and that therefore all of the conces-
s!ons. including that of the Panama
Canal Company. are valid and In force.
The State Department also has de-
cided that owing to the fact that the
Spoorer canal act In terms required the
United States government. before be-
ginning the canal. to conclude a treaty
with Colombia. the spirit Of the act
will be met bv the conclusion of an ar
rangement with the now state of Pan
anna on the lines of the Spoouer act
and II will proceed TO this end.

Complain. Aaain.. judge Seeds.

In a brief filed in the Court OF Ap-
peals October 3lst. charges are made
that Judge William p. Seeds made
such remarks in the conduct of a case
that the remarks could well be taken
as resembling anarchy. The brief is
on behalf Of the appellants in the Grip
pie Creek election case and Is entitled
''The City Council Of the City of Grip
pie Creek. ct al.. Against James f.
Hanley and W. G.. Shultz." The at
torneys in the case ore for the city
council and are Messrs. Temple.
Crump. James owen. George II. Kohn
and Charles C. Butler. The members
of the city council are contesting the
right of James Z. Hanlev and w. G.
Shultz to seats in the city council. In
tho trial court Judge Seeds decided
for the two members seeking seats and
the case comes to the Court OF Ap-
peals.
The statement. which Is said to be
eminently unfair on the part of the
court, was made, II is claimed in the
brief, at the opening Of the case. On
account of the bias of the court
change of venue was asked. The re-
marks which are cited In the brief fol-
low:
at appears that the petitioners.
Hanley and Shultz. were elected by
majority of the votes cast, and re-
ceived their certificates of election
from the proper officers, and where
1t appears that they have been arbi-
trarily removed from office and their
places given to men who were not
elected and had no right thereto. II
courts refuse to grant redress in such
cases. the people will take the matter
into their own hands, and would be
justified in SO doing"
This coming from the presiding
Judge in the case is said in the brief
to be SO startling as to arouse fears
of the parties against whom they were
directed. II is claimed that after this
remark the Judge should have granted
n change of venue,

Protes. Asalns. Timber Sales.

A protest has been filed with Gov
ernor Peabody by the Colorado State
Forestry Association denouncing the
recent sale of timber al the headwa-
ters of the San Juan and Platte riy-
ers. II is claimed in the petition that
the land board has entered into q tacit
agreement with the federal govern
ment TO the effect that no timber is
to be sold in attitudes OF more than
$500 feet without II first being ascer-
tanned that no damage would result
to the agricultural interests Of the
state. IL is asked that the recent
sales be rescinded. II possible. and
that no further timber be sold from
the headwaters Of the streams named.
W. q. n. Stone. president OF the
State Forestry Association. expressed
his views on the subject as follows:
Our mountain forests are rapidly
depicting. The mountain streams are
steadily diminishing In their summer
flow: the demand for water Is con-
stantly extending. and yet the State
Land Board was never SO beset by
lumbermen. miilmen. spectators and
their political friends as at the pres
ent time. They all seem bent on one
more slice of the forests before they
disappear and the present board finds
Itself unable to resist the pressure to
sell more and more timber. although
suicidal In Its effect upon our water
supply.
In February last the forestry board
took up the matter and asked the
land board to desist from further sell.
ing for the time being. and also asked
IL TO request the government TO ex-
anime the state timber and furnish
working plans by which to Intelligent.
iy adopt state lang policy In the
matter.
These negotiations resulted in the
government taking up the investiEa.
ton and In an understanding with
the supervisor of reservoirs In Colo
RADIO that no more sales would be
made without his knowledge and con-
currencc.
But by dInt OF pressure the board
has made some recent sales OF con-
siderable magnitude OF valuable tim
Der greatly needed At the source of
some OF our important streams. es.
pcciaily the Platte and San Juan.
without the knowledge Of the govern.
mcnt officials.
This bold and Indefcnsiblc act has
led the forestry board TO file with the
government vigorous protest against
the sale of any and all timber above
$500 feet above sca level.
ITO this protest the forestry board
Is unanimously pledged and for Its
realization will ever exert It's energy.
We must protect and preserve our
forests. and the state must come to
the support Of the people In their CT
fort to do so."
