FOR BETTER RATES.
Transportation Committee CONNER
cial Club to Hear Things Tonight.

Tonight the jobbers and shippers of
this city will go before the Transports
ton committee of the Commercial CLUB
to state in what ways they would like
to have the freight rates reduced, and
indicate, according to their judgment
the best method of procedure with the
railroads.
Such action was determined upon at
the meeting of the Commercial club
Wednesday evening. At that time the
matter was discussed, but because Of
the general lack of Immediate infur-
nation it was thought best to leave
the entire matter to those who are in
close acquaintance with rate condi-
tions into and out of Topeka.
Major Anderson, secretary of the
Commercial club, has sent out invita-
tiOns to Topeka merchants Interested
in the matter to. appear before the
committee at the Commercial club to-
night and give their views on the sub
ject. A formal request will be made
upon Vice President Paul Morton of
the Santa Fe for a revision of the
rates, and to make this reasonable and
thoroughly consistent with conditions
the whole thing will be gone over very
carefully.
The members of the transportation
committee are as follows:
William Green, chairman; Thomas
Page, vice chairman, J. S. Parks, Jonn
Sargent, Jonathan Thomas, ]. 5. War

Commander Smith Advises Old Sol
diers to Attend Semi-centenniaI.

A w Smith, department com
raander of the G. A. R.. has issued
a statement to the old soldiers of
Kansas to bring them to Topeka for
the semi celebration dur
ing Memorial day week. He said:
I'm this department the 30th of
May, 1904, is double anniversary. 1t
is the ffftieth anniversary of the
signing of the bill by President
Pierce that organized Kansas as a
territory.
1.-The Commercial club of our cap
ital city, and our state officers, have
decided to observe our semi-centen-
NAL in an appropriate and elaborate
manner. in connection with the Grand
Army of the Republic My prede-
cessOr invited the president of the
United States to be present and de-
liver an address. Owing to a press of
public business, the president cannot
come, but he has secured for US in his
place General Taft, secretary of war,
who as a public speaker has no su-
periOr in the United States.
Il urge all the comrades who can
to attend the memorial semi-centen-
NAL celebration service in Topeka.
The programme for the entire time
has never been excelled by any com
mittee in the history of this depart
ment, and the event Will be of the
highest class and one long to be re-
mbered.

SAVED THE MISSOURI.
Gunner's Mate Entered the Magazine
and Closed the Door.

Pensacola, Fla, April 15.-That the
newest battleshiD of the navy, the
Missouri, had a narrow escape from
being blown to pieces by the explo-
sion of a magazine, and also being
beached, has come to light. Captain
Covfes prevented the latter when the
vessel was within ESQ yards of the
beach by giving orders that the ships
course be changed. Chief Gunner's
Mate Monson saved the ship and the
lives of over 500 men by jumping into
the open magazine and closing the
door behind him 1t is stated. though
not by officers of the Missouri, that
when the officers heard the explosion
in The turret and saw the fire tapping
through the top they realized that
the mag zine would next explode, and
headed the ship for the beach, in
tending to beach her if possible be-
fore the explosion. Captain CoWles
quickly stopped the plan and put the
ship back to sea- When the first ex-
Dlosion occurred in the turret the
men IN the handling room knew in
an instant what had occurred The
big magazine door was open, and

standing against it were four charges
of powder. Without a moments hest
tation Gunner's Mate Monson showed
these aside and jumped into the mag
azine, pulling the door closed after
him. The magazine was totally food
ed with water. and when the men
opened the door they found Monson
barely alive. the water having
reached to his neck. The damage to
the battleship is much greater than
was stated at first In addition to the
large amount of ammunition ruined
by the magazine being flooded, which
will amount to thousands of dollars,
the after turret is badly injured, the
top being burned away and the mech
anism of the guns completely ruined
The estimated damage caused by the
explosion will reach $4,000. The
total list of dead now number 80 1t
is hardly probable that other deaths
will occur

HANGED WRONG MAN.
Now an Officer Is Going to California
for Right One.


NJ. C. Vincent, sheriff of CrawfoTd
county. is in Topeka today securing
from Governor Bailey a requisition on
the governor of California for Joe Col
ley, a colored man who is accused of
the murder of Milton Hinkle, police
man of Pittsburg. on Christmas eve,
1892 Cooley is under arrest at San
Jose, Cal
The peculiar feature of this case is
that another negro, a brother of God
ley, was lynched at the time for the
murder of which Joe Cooley is now
accused.
There was a colOred dance in Pitts
burg on the Christmas eve referred tc,
and during the evening a disturbance
occurred. A fight started and Hinkls
and another officer, Thomas Gaylord
arrested the two Cooley brothers. Gay
lord was ahead with the other brother
while Hinkle came behind with Joe
Cooley. In the darkness a shot was
fired, Hinkle fell wounded, and Joe
Cooley disappeared, and with him
Hfnkle's revolver. Hinkle died in a
short time.
In the meantime Gaylord had hung
on to the other Cooley, and when Il
mob formed it took the first of the
two 1t got its hands on and hung him.
Joe Cooley has been a fugitive ever
since. Sheriff Vincent thinks that if
he had been at Pittsburg that night
he could have prevented the lynching
He has been after Joe Cooley ever
since and has just located him in Carl
fornia-
1t is said that another brother Of
Cooley was lynched several years ago
at Monett, No, for assault.

WANT SEPARATE SCHOOLS.
killing of White Pupil by a Negro
Probably Means This Result.

Kansas City, Kan, April 15.-The
murder of Roy Martin, a student in
the high school, last Tuesday which
resulted in the closing of the school
and a race demonstration, was the
subject of discussion by the citizens
last night at an open meeting of the
board of education in the Carnegie
library building.
The opinion of most of the speak
ers, including several negro citizens.
was that the negro students in the
high school should not be held re-
sponsible for what a criminal, in no
manner connected with them, had
done, and that these pupils should be
allowed to go back to school as soon
as it is again opened Most of tn Ose
who spoke, however, expressed an
opinion that the state law denying the
right of the board of education to
furnish separate high schools for the
negroes and whites is wrong and
should be chang11 at the next session
of the Kansas legislature
The funeral services will be held at
? o'clock Sunday afternoon at the M.
z. church. The body will be buried
in Woodlawn cemetery. The students
in the Kansas City, Kan, high school
will probably attend in a body and
several of the dead boys friends and
classmates will be selected as pail
bearers. A large floral Offering has
already been ordered by the students.
and there will be many other evil
dences of the high esteem in which
the young man was held
