At ROOSEVELT BOARD.
Crane, Lodge, Root and Cortel-
you Eat With President.

Washington, Dec. I7.-President
Roosevelt entertained at luncheon today
former Governor Crane and Senator
Lodge of Massachusetts, and Secretaries
Root and Cortelyou. The fact that Gov
ernor Crane was at the luncheon in ad-
dition to being an invited guest to the
presidents cabinet dinner tonight, in
duced considerable political comment.
1t has been known for many months
that it is the desire of the president that
Governor Crane should be identified in
some intimate. capacity with the presi-
Dental campaign next year. Indeed it
has been suggested that he might be
the chairman of the Republican nation
al committee in the event of Senator
Hanna's refusad to again accept that
place The subject was not discussed
at the luncheon today. Mr.. Hanna has
been requested by President Roosevelt
to retain the position of national chair
man and until he shall have determined
definitely whether or not he will accept
the craftsmanship no move regarding
the matter will be made. In any event
it is understood Governor Crane will
fill an important place in the campaign

UNION PACIFIC WRECK.
Rock Island Passenger Hits u.
z. Freight.

Perry, Kan. Dec. ia Rock Island
eastbound passenger train crashed into
the rear end of a Union Pacific freight
two miles east of Perry at Z o'clock this
morning. Engineer Sullivan of the pas
senger train had a leg broken and sew
eral passengers were considerably bruis-
ed but none were seriously injured. No
one on the freight train was hurt.
The track is blocked as both trains
were badly wrecked and the eastbound
trains were sent to Kansas City over
the Santa. Fe this morning.
1t is supposed that the wreck was
caused by a misunderstanding of orders
though the freight train was in motion
when it was struck.
THE OFFICIAL ACCOUNT.
Following is the account of the wreck
given out at the Rock Island offices
here:
At 7:30 o'clock this morning a rear
end collision occurred between east
bound Rock Island passenger train No.
IA and the first section of east bound
Union Pacific freight No ID. The Union
Pacific train was in front. The colli-
sion occurred at a point about one mile
east of Williamstown, Kas., and ac-
cording to the reports received at the
Rock Island division offices in this city,
the Rock Island train was damaged
considerably. The engine turned over
on its side and both the tank and the
baggage car slid around until they
were crossWise of the track. About a
hundred feet of track was torn up, and
Engineer Sullivan, of Herington, who
train at the time of the accident, had
his right leg broken. No one else was
hurt.
Immediately after the accident the
Union Pacific wrecking crews at both
Kansas City and Junction City were
sent for, and arrived about two hours
later. These crews are still at work
on the wreck, and it is thought that
the Union Pacifc's main line will be
clear by O'Clock this afternoon
Meanwhile the Rock Island is detour-
ing its trains via the Santa F'e between
Topeka and Kansas City.
A detailed statement regarding the
cause of the wreck has not yet been
received here.

contract with a senator-elect is a mat
ter that should receive considera ton
with this case. Messrs. Conrad and
Bonaparte suggest that the senator
elects name and the material facts in
the transaction should have been
given. They also say the omission of
the names of the members of congress
with whom Mr.. Bristow says Beavers
made contracts for the rental of prem
ises is hardly just to congressman gen
orally. They nOnconcur in the conclu-
does not offer any criticism against
congressman at whose instance BeaN-
ers increased a postoffice rental where
a ten-years' lease was already opera
tive.
Exceptions are also taken to Mr..
BristoW's reference to Consul Baldwin
at Nuremburg as probably knowing
as much about this fraud as any other
party"
Messrs. Conrad and Bonaparte say.
that while his connection needs expla-
sion of judgment until he has had the
opportunity to explain, as he is man
of good reputation.
They also object to the inclusion of
the name of G. A c. Christiancy, the
law clerk recently allowed to resign,
in a passage in the Bristow report that
speaks of the administrative methods
of Tyner, Barrett and Christiancy, etc.
They say inasmuch as the acceptance
of Christiancy's resignation was recon-
mended after a fun inquiry he is en-
from all suspicious of willful official
misconduct by intimating that his
methods were the same as Tyner's and
Barrett'S.

WOOD CASE CLOSED.
Secretary Root Makes Only De-
fense That Is Offered.

Washington, Dec. 1.-THE senate
committee on military affairs has con-
cluded it's investigation of charges
against General Leonard Wood, filed
for the purpose of preventing his con-
firmation as major general. Secretary
Root was the last witness. 1t is un-
derstood confirmation will be recon-
mended by vote of s to 2. A minority
report will be made by the opposing
members of the committee. The testt-
mony of Secretary Root is the only
defense that has been made of General
Wood in the hearing, which has ex-
tended since about the beginning of
the extraordinary session of congress
This testimony, however, covered the
entire range of the evidence produced
against General Wood, and was sup
ported in many instances with CORE
spondence and other data taken from
records at the war department cover
ing the period OF General Woods ad-
ministration as governor general of
Cuba. Secretary Root undertook to as
sumo the whole responsibility for the
orders issued by General Wood affect
ing the judicial system in Cuba and
concerning the concession granted to
justified the acceptance by General
Wood of the present of a silver set
from the Jai-Alai company.
Secretary Root was given every lati-
IuQe III Telling Ills Stofy Ol Tie dlIaiIS
in the island and refuting the charges
that had been made by a number of
witnesses but at the evening session
questions were asked by Senator Teller
which confined the secretary to the
Buncie letter, the Jai-Alai concession,
the Rathbone trial, General Wood S
friendship for Bellairs and the question
of seniority as a means of recognizing 6
military service. Many of the questions
were pointed and in some cases severe
upon General Wood but in every case
General Wood found a warm defender.
The action of the committee was un-
anirnous in deciding to close the in
PRODUCTION of testimony and taking a
vote January 4, although a few mem
bers of the committee were in favor
of voting today and argued in favor
of this course. Tt~Was Declared that to
vote today would lead to the inference
on the part of the public that the case
had been pre5udiced. It is said the
unanimity of action in closing, the in
quiry does not have any direct bearing
on the vote of confirmation
Senator Scott made the protest
against reporting on the nomination
today claiming that the committee as
jurors should read and weigh the evil
dence He expressed the opinion that
any attempt to railroad the nominal
tion through the committee and the
senate would confirm the opinion that
the matter had been prejudged.

KENNEDY is HERE.
Believed He Will Be Demon
strator in New Dental School.

DR.. Bert Kennedy came to Topeka
today and at 2 o'clock this afternoon
went into a conference with President
Plass of Washburn college, DR.. A H
Thompson of the proposed dental school,
and Frank Leach, manager of the
Washburn football team The confer
ence is for the purpose of arranging the
terms upon which DR.. Kennedy will
come to Topeka next year.
DR.. Kennedy has been offered the po-
sition of laboratory demonstrator at the
dental college. The only question to be
settled, apparently, is whether DR.. Ken
nedy has had enough special training in
the work of demonstrator to do the
work. He has not yet made public the
terms upon which he will come to To-
peka, but it is understood that he will
ask $1,000 for his services as coach of
the football team, instead of $500 as he
received this year. In addition to this
81 900 he will receive salary for his
work in the dental school.
DIR. Kennedy and his partner, DIR.
Kelly, 1T is claim, have one of the finest
dental equipments in the city of Law
renee, and if DR.. Kennedy decides to
come to Topeka they will move their
office here and make Topeka their per-
manent HEADQUARTERS.

THIS IS THE LIMIT.
Police Search a Harness Shop
for Liquor.

A number of citizens are incensed
over an outrageous performance on the
part of the police. Tuesday night
squad of officers rushed into the har-
ness shop of Oscar KraHse, in North
Topeka, presumably hunting for a joint.
There was no excuse for the perform
ance. Krause is a well known harness
maker, who works at his trade, and
never did conduct a joint. The officers
made a thorough search of the premises,
leaving things in a state of disorder,
but of course found nothing to war
rant the arrest of Mr.. Krause. They
even searched his trunk in a back
room.
When the police make a break of this
kind, they keep it very still, and un-
less the outraged property owner re-
ports it, it is not made public. Several
similar cases have happened recently.
On one occasion squad of officers
dashed into a North Topeka restaurant
