occurred in the meantime; about four
months ago after Mr.. Hearst had in
stituted his suit agains, the coal com
bine, Senator Elkins rushed an amend
ment through congress abolishing the
imprisoume clause of the law for the
very crime these officers OF the coal
trust had committed, and without hes:
itancy or comment the resident sign
ed the bill, thus actually pard oning
in advance the wealthy, high ha nded
violators of the law. But Hearst is
on their trail like an avenging Meme
sis, and he has never yet given up a
fight for right and justice until victory
crowned his efforts, and he announced
in the beginning of the fight that he
would never cease until the coal trust
was crushed and that when the coal
trust went down in ruin no other pill
laying combination in this republic
would feel safe.
Mr.. Hearst has introduced bill re-
Installing the Imprisonment clause
that was striken out by the Elkins
amendment. This will force the adj
ministration forces to show their hand.

Something of a Trustbuster.

William Randolph Hearst has prov
en- himself some thing of trustbuster.
Away back in October 1902, over
eighteen months ago, MIR. Hearst, at
his own expense, collected evidence
convictirg Baer, Truesdale. and their
associates of violating the trust laws
of this country. He placed his evil
dence in the hands of Attorney-Ge
eral Knox and President, Roosevelt
and they have been pressed to push
the fight on the coal trust, but firing
of the inactivity of the administration
Mr.. Hearst inaugerated proceedings
in his own name. The suit had not
gone very far until the officials of the
trust baked and denied the right of
an individual to prosecute, and refus-
ed to answer certain questions or pro-
duce certain records showing how
coal prices and rates were fixed. Mr..
Hearst has fought the case through
the federal court and the United
States supreme court and gained de-
eision sustaining his contention; and
now the lordly anarchists will have to
come into court and reveal their cri-
minal violation of United States laws.
But something very remarkable has

The event of the week in political
circles has been the democratic state
convention in New York. The contest
was between the Hill wing on the one
hand and the Tammany wing on the
other. The question was as to the
ladvisability of instructing the dele
gates for Parker. The Hill crowd
were for instructions and carried the
day by vote. of more than two to
one. The action of the New York
democrats sharply outlines the con-
test and from now until the national
convention meets in st. Louis the
contest win be between Parker and
Hearst. Parker represents the con-
sentative wing of the party and Hearst

nearly as we can make out Senator
Burton was indicted under law en-
acted in 1864 and of which not only
most congressman and senator's but
the majority of lawyers are wholly
ignorant. There are probably not
twenty senators who have not at some
time done the same thing that Mr..
Burton has been tried for doing and
they have done it in most cases uncon-
scious that they were overstepping a
law. But at this date when it is pop
ular to anathematize Mr.. Burton, men

RIVER IS RISING.
Three Feet kbOve Low Water
Mark but Not Dangerous.

The Kaw river, at the Melan arch
bridge on Kansas avenue has risen
over three feet since last night at six
o'clock and is still rapidly coming up.
The big sand bar in the middle of the
stream, just opposite VOLTS Packing
House, is completely submerged. The
current is very swift. The rise is
probably due to the heavy rainfall on
last Thursday and the small tributary
streams farther west and north are
now unloading their surplus water.
The height of the water in the river
is about what it ordinarily is at this
time of the year. and if different at all,
is lower. 1t would take at least a raise
of eighteen feet to cause any reason
for worry. After the rainwater of
Thursday is carried off, the river viii
probably go back to its condition at
the beginning of the week.
At Kansas City, according to this
mornings report from the Missouri
town. the Kaw had risen eight feet
within the last thirty-six hours. While
this would seem odd, to have but a
three feet raise in Topeka and one of
three times that much in Kansas City,
it can readily be explained with the
fact that the river bed is much mar
rover through Wyandotte county than
it is near Topeka. If the water rises
much more in Kansas City, damage
will probably be done to the bridges
which span the river in that vicinity.
The Kansas City Times prints the
following about the condition of the
river this morning:
The Kaw river has risen nearly eight
feet in the last thirty-six hours, due
to the heavy rains of Thursday. The
water was still rising slowly last
night, but it is not anticipated that it
will reach a higher stage Yesterday
morning some drift wood was floating
in the current. BY afternoon this had
stopped and the current was clear
The suspension bridge over the river
at Argentine is threatened by the rise.
Last night the water was running an
inch deep over the floor Of the bridge
at its lowest point. A further rise of
one foot would probably sweep the
frail structure away. It is probable
that by this morning the bridge will
not be passable.
Early yesterday morning sand
barge which has been used in con-
structing the bridge at Turner, Kan,
hoated down the stream and lodged
against the Belt line bridge. The Belt
line officials are taking steps to
strengthen their pile bridge against
dangers from drift during the June
rise. Several heavy steel Orders have
been laid on the bridge, and will be
used to span openings which Will be
made by taking out bents of pillng to
allow drift to pass. The rise in the
Kaw Yesterday did not stop work on
the Kansas avenue steel bridge. The
Rock Island Railroad company also
continued the work of raising its
bridge wreckage out of the river at
Kansas avenue.
