He makes everybody working-for him be-
lieve that he is factor in the bust
ness. He takes suggestions from the
humblest man in his employment. and if
he does not approve of it he turns it down
with tact. Some people think that
somebody else is always running Ben
Mclean. No greater mistake could be
made Nobody runs Ben Mclean unless
they are trying to run him right and then
he is perfectly willing to be run. 1t is
his trick. He always gets more work out
of man who has this hallucin:tion. and
better service. One man in particular is
supposed TO have remarkable influence
over him. The fact is that the case Is
the other way and the history of ii is a
remarkable one. No man has ever lived
in Wichita who has a stronger backbone
or a stronger individuality than he has.
Personally. Mr. Mclean is a man Of
great popularity among his fellow men.
He is honest candid frank and court
eous His liberality is extraordinary and
confirms the theory held by many that
he who spends money freely makes it
freely. In head and heart there is no
better man within the boundaries Of
Kansas. He has wonderful understand
ing of human nature and has a peculiar
understanding Of opportunity. 1t is not
generally known that those who are con-
sidered the strongest business men In
Wichita seek his advice about invest
ment. A hundred stories could be writ
ten giving instances of his good nature.
his good Judgment. and of his unique
methods of winning friends. They will
be told from time 70 time.

ABOUT NEW GAME LAW.
No Mention Is Made of the Number of
Birds One May Kill.

For some days there has been considera-
bic talk among hunters Of this city re-
garding the new game law passed by the
Kansas legislature The impression seem
ell TO be that the new law read that one
man could not .lill more than - birds in
one day. This bin was introduced by 4.
G Husey, representative from Sedgwick
county. and the bin IS only an amendment
to section l chapter 80 of the session laws
OF 1891. and says nothing about the num-
her OF birds person may kill. but es;ab-
fishes the open seasons. The text Of the
bin is as follows:
1t shall be unlawful for any person or
persons at any time. except as hereinafter
provided. 10 hunt. catch. kill. pursue. en-
trap or ensnare any partridge. pinnated
grouse prairie chicken, grouse, quail.

A New Feature in Spring Openings.

Quite a new and interesting feature was
inaugurated yesterday at the Boston
Store. in the giving of an opening dis
play of street hats" While entirely new
to Wichita, ii is a feature already estab-

attractive as the later and more formal
displays of trimmed hats. Many ladies

stylish. ready-to-wear hats. Among the
hundreds of hats on display. the fiat

RECOGNITION SHOULD WAIT
ON COLOMBIA SAYS EXPERT

REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
New Haven. Conn.,, Nov. 9-Professor
Theodore S. Woolsey, who holds the chair
of International law at the Yale law
school, when asked for a statement of his
views on the situation in Panama, die
tated the following:
Il have no hesitation in saying that 1t is
the duty Of the United States. II it would
preserve q correct attitude and follow its
own precedents. to abstain from any rec
ognition of the new Government in Pam
anna as an Independent State until it be-
comes apparent that Colombia is not at
tempting to re-establish its authority
there by force.
IF that should happen there will arise
at once the question Of recognizing the
belligerency of the insurgent body. II no
such attempt to reduce Panama to SUBJ
mission should be made after decent
interval the recognition of the new state
as an Independent sovereignty would be
in order.
The question is complicated however.
by the final clause of the thirty-fifth artf-
Gle of our treaty Of 1s4s with New Gra-
NADIA. That Colombia has succeeded to
the rights and duties of New Granada is
fully admitted by the United States. 1t is
ais1 clear from the fact that under this
same article the United States has re-
peitedly landed troops to protect the
Ps mama Railway.
This final clause is as follows:
And in consequence, the United States
also guarantee in the same manner the
rig hts of sovereignty and property which
New Granada has and possesses over the
said territory
This. in terms, is unconditional Our
State Department. however, seems to con-
STRIFE II as referring to a guarantee of
Colombian sovereignty over Panama only
when attacked from q foreign source and
not to domestic revolution.f

ductor Healy's Coach Has

struck and perhaps fatally injured last
evening by westbound Olive street car,

last January asked to be changed from
motorman to his present position. after
his car had killed a child and an old man
within a month.
The accident last night shattered Hea-
ley's nerves, and he was barely able to
continue his trip to the sheds. Arriving
there he asked to be relieved for the night.
When struck Miss Leeper was crossing
from the south side of Olive street, near
Boyle avenue. to the home of Mrs. J.
Bennett, No. 424s Olive street, where she
is employed and made her home.
She did not notice a westbound car ap-
preaching at high speed. Persons on
the street shouted warning, but she dld
not hear them. The front platform
struck her. throwing her to the pavement.
She was picked up unconscious and car
ried into the Westminster Pharmacy at
Boyle avenue and Olive street. ply
Scians was called and pronounced her in
juries serious. She was removed to the
City Hospital where it was found that
she was suffering from fractured skull.

relatives in st. Louis. An uncle, John
McPheeters. lives at Fullerton. Mo.

appropriations for the various departments

ahead and collect their material. without
placing rigid restrictions as to cost upon
them. Expenses are met by appropriation
