CAPS AND GOWNS.
Senior Glass at Washburn Blossoms
Out Today.

The members of the senior class at
Washburn college made their first ap-
pearance in caps and gowns today at
chapel. Headed by DR.. F. B. Dams in
a similar garb the class marched in a
body to the chapel exercises. This is
the first time in five years that grad
uating class at Washburn has donned
the scholastic robes.
There seemed to be some misunder-
standing today on the part of the SEN
mortarboards when half a dozen
marched in with their caps on. Con-
siderable merriment was caused at
their expense. The innovation passed
off quietly and the loss of one cap
stolen by a tricky junior while the sem
iors were seated was the only event
that added any particular spice to the
whole affair.

RAMBO CASE is UP.
An Appeal for Man Convicted O
Murder.

An appeal was filed in the supreme
court today in the case of William
Rambo, who was convicted some time
ago in the district court of Wyandotte
county of murder in the second degree
and was sentenced to the penitentiary
for life. The appeal was filed by J.
K. CubbiSOn, Rambo'S attorney.
This is the case in which two men
attempted to rob the Metropolitan
Street Railway company, and making
the attempt killed a policeman and
wounded night Waterman. The af-
fair created a great deal of excitement
in the two Kansas Citys at the time.
The murder occurred on the night of
Labor day, 1902. There had been a
heavy traffic on the street car lines, and
the money was turned in at night at the
street car barn in Kansas City. Kan,
and locked UP in a safe. S. A. Minsker
was night Waterman for the company
in the car barn, and William J. Morris
was policeman on that beat. Along to-
wards morning two men appeared at
the barn and held Minsker up, demand
ing that he open the safe. He said he
didn't know the combination and they
started to blow it open with dynamite.
About that time Morris put in an ap-
pearance and the robbers commenced
to shoot. Morris was killed and Min
skier badly wounded, but afterwards re-
covered. Rambo and Isaac Johnson were
arrested lOE the murder, Out JOnHSO1l
was released as there was little evidence
to hold him. Rambo was convicted,
however, and given life sentence in
the penitentiary.
RambO is described as bearing an ex-
cellent appearance, but he kept a saloon
in Kansas City near the scene of the
crime and is said to have had a bad rec
ord for robberieS.
Senator Cubbison hopes to get rever-
sal of the lower court on technical mis-
conduct of the jury. One Juror told q
story of how Rambo had tried to hold
up man once before. and the jury had
newspaper in the jury room containing
an account of another attempted hold-up
on the part of Rambo.
1t was for the benefit of Rambo that
Senator CubbisOn last winter had Spe-
eial law passed by the legislature requir-
ing WyandOtte county to pay for trans
cripts for appeals in criminal cases when
the defendant filed a poverty affidavit.
This done in the Rambo case and a
writ of mandamuS was asked for in the
supreme court to test the law. The
Wyandotte county officials knew nothing
about it until judgment had been render
ed in Rambo's favor, but they got the
case reoDened and then had the law de-
clared unconstitutional The transcript
in the Rambo case covers over 800 pages,
so that it would have cost the county a
large amount of money had the law been
upheld.

POLLOCK IS SICK.
Federal Judge Is Suffering With the
Grip.

It looks rather as though an ad-
journment might be taken by the fed
eral court at Kansas City over Sunday,
on account of the illness of Judge John
c. Pollock. He became quite i'll while
on the bench Wednesday morning, and
last night a telephone message from
Kansas City gave the information that
Judge Pollock would probably not be
able to hold court today, in which case
it was probable a longer adjournment
was likely. Judge Pollock is believed
to be suffering with an attack of grip.
1t was feared last night his condition
might become serious. He is at the
home of B. J. NOrthrup.

The outlook for war in the Far East
from the Wall street viewpoint is set
forth in Clews & Co.'S Financial Re
view as follows:
While it is evident that the resources
of diplomacy have not at this writing
been entirely exhausted the situation
is nevertheless SO acute that slight
provocation on either side would pre-
cipitate open hostilities. Japan may
easily be tempted into firing the first
gun, knowing that she can strike more
effectively now than by allowing time
for her opponent to more effectively
prepare for war. Delay is gain for
Russia and corresponding loss for
Japan; hence the aggressiveness of the
BATTER, and the risk of early hosti1ities.
"a great deal Of anxiety is shown re-
gardiug the consequences of a struggle
between these two nations. Win other
nations be involved? OF course no one
can predict such results. The POSSIBLE
ties are tremendous, but the prObabili-
ties are fortunately very much less; the
very immensely OF the former acting as
q safeguard against the worst. Perhaps
the pivotal point in the conflict will be
the attitude of France. Should her
sympathy with Russia carry her into
active operations, then Great Britain
by treaty with Japan. would be obliged
to actively support the latter. It is ex-
ceedingly improbable however. that
France will allow herself to be drawn
into such antagonism towards Great
Britain; and the chances are that Rus
sia and Japan win fight it out alone,
with the United States, Great Britain,
France and Germany all highly inter-
ested spectators. American interests
are certainly opposed to the exclusive
policy which Russia imposes upon all
within her rule; hence our so-called
g "Open door" policy, to which Russia is
of necessity strongly antagonistic.
Events and destiny have made us a
Pacific power; we have more seacoast
and ports on the Pacific ocean than any
other nation; and the future develop
nent Of our commerce makes our inter-
ests in the impending conflict as great,
If not greater, than those of any other:
so that whatever past friendship with
Russia we may cherish our interests in
future lie in the success of Japan, who
seems likely to have to fight alone the
battle for modern civiliza ton. Russia
IS not well prepared for war, and her
financial resources are limited, notwith-
standing the much talked of war chest.
which is nothing more than gold re-
nerve fund held as the basis of a paper
currency. Let this be impaired and
Russian currency will rapidly fall in
value, with all the attendant disturb
ances, which Russia is less able to
meet than any great power.

Although there were few suspensions
of brokers or those directly connected
with the stock market, it is obvious
that much of last years mercantile
mortality. says r. G. Dun & Co, was
due to the remarkable depreciation in
prices of securities and the consequent
pressure in the money markets, together
with growing conservatism regarding
Investments in new undertakings or
those only partially completed. There
was much embarrassment growing out
of labor disputes in the building trades
Other strikes also contributed to swell
Insolvency statistics. and the effect of
the untoward influences has proved to
be cumulative. When the disturbing
factors were at their worst, there was
no noticeable increase in failures, but
as the year progressed, the moderate
contraction of trade had more effect
than was expected. During the pre-
ceding years of unchecked prosperity
there had been so much expansion Of
facilities that readjustment to new con-
ditions could only be accomplished
through close scrutiny of credits and
care in making contracts. Tight money
made it more difficult to secure extern
sion Of time in making payments. and
severe decline in iron and steel quota
tons was factor in the years losses.

The National Live Stock association
in session at Portland, Ore, is waging
vigorous warfare on the meat trust
from various standpoints. One of the
means advocated for securing in
dependence for both the producer and
the consumer is the establishment of
Independent packing houses. In
an address on this subject c. f. Adams
of Nebraska said: 1.-The great live
stock interests of America must not be
harnessed and delivered at the door of
the meat trust. Tie profits must be
equally distributed between the pro-
Queer and the packer and the profits
must be reasonable enough so that the
great third party, the consumer, can
enjoy the benefits. If the way is not
open through the regular course of bus
mess, It becomes necessary for the pro-
Queer to take the means which seem
to be the only remedy in his hand, ana
build independent packing houses, to
be operated on an economical and con-
,servative basis, such as will give to
1.-THE producer u fair profit, and to the
consumer a product which he can
afford to enjoy. The Independent in
stitution would simply act as a COVER
nor upon the market, the whole coun-
try would be benefited by it, and the
live stock industry would thrive again. -
