GOV. ROBINSON'S BUST.
Will Probably Be Placed in
State House ROtunda.

Senator Pestana has prepared the res
olution providing for the placing Of
Governor Charles R~obinson's bust in
n of the inches in the rotunda of the
state house. This may renew the old
L-ane-Robinson feud, providing enough
of the old partisans are still alive to
start trouble, though it is difficult to see
why any one should object to placing
the bust of the first governor in the
state house.
Cyrus Leland was originally a Lane
partisan, but when asked his opinion as
to the Robinson resolution he said he
had no objection to having Governor
Robinson's bust laced in the rotunda,
providing his friends furnished it, but
he opposed having the expense of it sad
died on the state.
Hill F. Wilson, who is a great admirer
of Robinson, calls attention to the fact
that he willed his fortune, amounting to
more than $500, 900 to the state univer-
sity. tc pass to that institution on the
death of Mrs. Robinson.

HOOK STAYS OVER.
Confers With omcials About Kansas
Mutual.

Judge w. c.. Hook intended to go
home Wednesday, evening, but remain
ed over to hold an important confer
ence with Edward Wilder, c. J. Dew
lin, Scott Hopkins and P. I. Bonebrake,
directors of the Kansas Union Life IN
a company, concerning the fu-
ture of that concern and its relations
with the Kansas Mutual.
The four gentlemen mentioned con-
directors of the Union Life Insurance
company as sort of a steering commit

committee. raid this morning: "Abso-
lutely nothing dehHite was done at
this conference. We simply talked
over the matters at issue. No one
ven had a plan to propose"
J. P Davis, president of the Kansas
Union, said: Nothing was done at
the conference. There is nothing what
affairs of the two companies. The
Kansas Mutual is in the hands of the
trustees of the court, and I have moth
ing to give out without authority from
the trustees"
The trustees are now at work listing
the securities on file with the state
treasurer, and trying to ascertain
whether or not the securities are good,
and whether they are of the amount
claimed. 1t is probable that they will
complete their work some time next
this investigation, Mr.. Davis said to-
day:
.'They will find everything exactly
as we stated it was. There is no mig
ger in the wood pile. The assets Of
the company are in perfect condition. :"

Freight CONGESTION.


Detroit Free Press.
There are prevalent railroad condl-
tons in this country such as have never
before been in a time of
peace. There have been local conges-
tons at great distributing centers like
P~ittsburg and Chicago where an enOr-
nous amount of freight for delivery ac-
cumulated in a brief time at a busy sea-
son. But now the blockade is general.
The crops have been practically moved,
and that is considered the great trans
portation task of the year. The one ex-
ceptional demand beyond the regular
and healthy requirements of business, is
for coal, and that demand is not being
met. The apparent fact is that the COM
merce of the country has got the start
of the railroads. Every line of trade
and improvement is being pushed at
top speed and an immediate
is shat the railroads are swamped at a
time when they should be doing the
most good and making the most money.
1t lmDresses an outsider as either q
great C. of foresight or enterprise
when an immense and model system
like the Pennsylvania is refusing freight
and demanding time in which to take
care of what it has On hand. Yet it is
but one of several that have thrown uD
their hands because too much freight is
being thrust upon them. Engines are
busy on the tracks that should be in
the repair shops. Rolling stock that
would usually be broker up is in COM
mission. The passenger service is being
reduced 10 the Inconvenience of the

Rock Island Official Testifes in
Coal Investigation.

General Superintendent Hiram S. Gable
of the Rock Island was examined by the
legislative coal famine investigation conf
mittee this afternoon on the subject Of
the confscation of coal in transit to de
livery or that road. Chief Clerk WI o.
Nevil of Mr.. Cables office was also ex-
amined upon the same subject. Both men
recalled instances of the confiscation of
had been issued that no state coal should
be conhscated except where the only al
tentative was the stoppage of trains. Mr..
Gable said he believed a law prohibiting
the confiscation of coal would be perfectly
just.
Chairman T. A. Noftzger is preparing a
bill absolutely prohibiting the confiscation
OF any coal being carried. The bill will
be presented Friday or Monday
The committee has asked for a contin-
uance of the time in which it may report.

STATE PRINTER.
Amendment to Constitution
Nay Be Submitted.

Senator Kennedy of Coffey county
wrote the resolution for submitting an
amendment to the constitution to make
the office Of state printer elective which
was adopted without a dissenting vote in
the senate this morning. It is claimed
the resolution has a good chance OF
passing the house. At every session OF
the legislature for the past fourteen
years it has come up in the form Of a
resolution or bill. This time Senator
Mcmillan of Minneapolis introduced q
bill having in view the same object. He
also secured a lot OF information about
the management of public printing in
other states, which he presented to the
senat in support of his measure. The
Mcmillan bill came nearly being side
tracked partially on the prefext that it
looked unconstitutional. When Ken
nedy's resolution came up Mcmillan
said he would withdraw his bin if the
resolution was adopted by both houses.
Senators Smith and Morehouse spoke
in favor of the resolution.

SMOKE LEWIS OUT.
Effort VIII Be Made to Keep
Him off Ticket.

AT a meeting Of the Republican city
central committee, which Chairman E.
R. Simon said this morning he would
call next week. an effort may be made
to debar Frank Lewis from being a
candidate for mayor on the ground that
he is not a true and tried" Republican.
Several members of the committee are
doing a good deal of talking in favor
Of such a move They say that Lewis
has never been known as a Republican
until he was put into the race for
mayor. One prominent Republican said
this morning:
before the meeting and make a state
ment of his position, under oath. He
Should answer questions as to how he
has voted. and try to prove that he Il
being"
Another scheme which the "drys'' pro-
pose is to bring some sort of influence
TO hear on the Union Pacific and ex-
press company officials to compel them
% denand Mr.. Lewis withdrawal from
the race. They say that some of the
Dig shippers in Topeka will present theiI
demands to the head officials Of the
companies employing Mr.. Lewis. This
Is Mr. Hughes personal plan.
Other members of the committee who
would like first rate to get Lewis out Of
the race are opposed to any radical move
because they believe it would in the end
help Lewis
If we bar Lewis out, as we have the
power 10 10 Sald q leader IN the COM
mittee, we will give him the best kim of
ammunition to fight US with in the cleo
ton. The Democrats would indorse him
and there would be a great cry of dirty
pcItt1csH This would turn many doubtful
votes against US I know that there Is a
strong sentiment in the committee that
Lewis is a Democrat and should not be
allowed to run. but it would hurt us to
get him off worse than it would to leave
him on"
Mr.. Lewis himself said this morning:
l nave heard these reports about getting
me off the track by force I think If they
wait until my employers force me off they
will wait a long time. You know the say
ing: Whom the gods would destroy. they
first make mad and that's all have -
say about the plan to challenge my right
to run in a Republican primary. I think
that the records of most of the members
of that committee viii not bear too close
scrutiny in that particular"

SMITH STEALS A MARCH.
May Yet Dislodge Bale Waggener in
Taxation Committee.

The contest between B. P. Waggener
and Senator Fred Dumon Smith in the
taxation committee yer the exemption
of notes and mortgages has not yet been
finally settled. Smith has been working
on the members of the committee and
last night he again brought the matter
up and moved that the section covering
this point be left as the taxation COM
mission originally framed it, and as
Representative Peck advocated on Mon
day night. This taxes notes and mort
cages, but provides for no drastic pen
alties against the collection If they are
not listed for taxation
Mr.. Waggener was nearly sick last
night and he protested against being
compelled to again fight for his amend
ment after having twice carried it
through. and he asked that the consid-
Grafton of Smiths motion be postponed,
and this was finally conceded to him.
The lieutenant governor and attorney
general were again put back on the
board of railway assessors last night,
leaving the board as it is at present
with the addition of the two tax com
m~issioners.
An amendment was also carried plae-
ing a license of S100 a year on peddlers
and haWkers.
