UPTO JUDGE POLLOCK.
Argument Completed in the Summer
field Case.

City Attorney Spencer and Charles
Blood Smith argued the Summerfield
case this morning in the federal court.
This is the case which involves the
question of whether the city shall pay
the water company about $12.0 900 al
legged to be due for the rent of fire
plugs in South Topeka. Mr.. Spencer
spoke for the city of Topeka and Mr..
Smith for the water COMPANY.
This hydrant rental case has been
pending in the courts for about five
years, and at last it seems to have been
brought to a conclusion. Nothing now
remains but the decision of Judge Pol
lock. 1t not likely that the decision
will be rendered for some time.

A number of letters have been re-
ceived at this office citing the case of
Martin Van Buren, in connection with
the subject of the succession of the
vice president to the presidency. The
public is not concerned greatly with
the matter of precedents. Probably
there was never a greater fallacy than
the one embodied in the belief that
history repeats itself. 1t does nothing
Of, the kind. Presidents will no more
affect Mr.. Roosevelt's chances of re-
election than they influence his official
actions. And that is known to be very
little.

MAY BE HARTMAN.
Said to Be Slated for President OF
Union Pacific.

New York, Jan. 4.-The resignation of
Hoarce C. Burt as president OF the
Union Pacific railroad probably will be
presented to a meeting of the directors
this week. In well informed circles the
belief prevails that it will be accepted
and that substantial recognition of Mr.
Burts services will be made.
Reports that E. H. Hartman will
succeed him are encouraged in high
quarters, though the name of J. c.

Painters and Decorators Have Com

The painters and decorators will COM

room and today is holding court in
chambers. The district court room is
painted in the same colors as the fed

ing. The griny walls and ceiling look
fresh again and the court room presents
a FAR better appearance than before.

the Officers.

For the first time a jointist who APP

will come back to that institution and
serve out his time. Porter Patterson

with the goods on him by Chief Golf
in June. Golf did not make so many
arrests, but he usually furnished some
slight evidence as an excuse for con-
viction. So it was with Patterson. He
went to the district court with the US

Judge Hamilton, and Patterson was
sent back to the police for treatment.
He will serve 80 days and pay 800 OF

Country,

Immediately on receiving the Nobel
prize of $4,000, DR.. Niels F. F'insen
transferred one-fourth of it to the
Finsen institute at Copenhagen. Di-
rector G. A. Hagemann and Council
Tor Jurgensen thereupon made the in
stitute gifts of similar sums, bringing
a whole windfall of good fortune. AS
the institution is young and not yet
the gifts will enable
it to obtain a tirmer footing and to
increase it's field Of usefulness.
Later DR.. Finsen gave $4,000 kroner
to the sanatorium for chronic heart
and liver diseases at Copenhagen.
DR.. Niels Ryberg Finsen is now 43
years of age. He was born at Thors-
havn, Farce Islands. He graduated
from the medical department of the
University of Denmark, in 1892. He
has been more a student and scientist
than physician. His chief service to
the world was his discoveries fol-
lowing his study of the effect of light
and especially the actinic and nom
heating rays of light. In 1895 he
treated the first case Of lupus accord
ing to his theories. This and other
cases were so successfully treated that
an institute was opened. In the first
five years 900 lupus cases were treat
ed, the great majority being cured or
materially improved. His success at
tracted the attention of the medical
world, and within five years there
were seventeen Finsen light cure hos

WHY is sTRINDBERG UNKNoWN?,
The Famous Swedish Writer Has No
Vogue in America.

Scandinavian literature Of the pres
ent day reaches it's highest expression
in the works of three men whose
names carry nearly equal weight thru
out continental Europe, not only with
the critics, but with the mass of read
ers and theatergoers. says Edwin
Bjorkman in the New York Post.
They are the Norwegians Ibsen and
Bjornson, and August Strindberg,
Swede.
In this country Ibsen appears grad
ually to be coming to his own, and
Bjornson has been made familiar to
the public thru his early peasant
stories, but Strindberg does not even
possess an esoteric reputation. And
vet it should seem that the mere pro-
likeness and versatility Of this play
wright, novelist, essayist, critic, his
toran and amateur scientist should
compel our students of foreign litera-
lures to take cognizance Of him.
No authentic photography of Strind-
berg exists. He must have to his
credit more than sixty volumes by this
fourth year. But no work OF his,
dramatic or novelistic, has ever been
printed or played in English in this
country, so far as l am aware.
The only reason I can imagine for
this Indifference to man VINO is SO
widely known ana ADMIRED Oh TIE
other side of the Atlantic must be
sought in certain blenishes which
faint, to greater or less degree, some
of his Works-but certainly not all OF
them-and which even Strindberg
warmest admirers cannot disregard
entirely. Judging him by European
standards, and leaving aside the sup
posedly prejudiced American point OF
view, one must still admit that the
Swedish writer time and again touches
on subjects, introduces incidents, and
employs expressions which are lncom-
patible with all modern ideas of liter
airy propriety-or Of poetical license
