INVENTED "FooL-klLLER."
Peter Nilsson Perishes in Attempt (
Cross Lake MICHIGAN.

TStST NtSSou TSTISHeS III ACtemPt TO
Cross Lake Michigan.
Chicago, Dec. 1.-Peter Nissen is
believed to have either smothered or
frozen to death in his rolling balloon,
the "Foo1-Killer," in which he started
for a trip across the lake yesterday.
The opinion that Nissen was lost be.
came general yesterday afternoon.
when it was found that after "a hours
there was still absolutely no word
from the inventor, who, some years
ago, shot the whirlpool of Niagara in
a barrel. He has not been sighted by
any vessel.
The possibility of Nissen smother
ing to death was considered more ser
iously when it was learned that his
only supply OF air was that pumped
into the "Fool-Killer'' before the craft
was launched. 1t was said by Nissen's
brothers, however, that the navigator
had computed his air and figured that
it would last him for a great number
OF hours.
At the weather bureau it was said
that even if Nissen reached the shore
he would suffer from the cold, as there
was a snowstorm blowing ear the
| Michigan shore, and that as his boat
had no means of heating and permit
ted of no air, the navigator would suf-
fer greatly. The wind toward mid
night increased from rs miles an hour
to a 60-mile rate.

Morgan, the special deputies detailed
to arrest Brady. Both claimed they
shot in self-defense. Doctor Cunning
ham, the only other witness examined,
said that either of The wounds inflicted
would have caused instantaneous

The jury returned a verdict to the
effect that the deceased had come to
his death through resisting officers OF

Brady, but a number or neighboring
ranchmen have filed a claim against
them, stating that the animals belong
to them anu were stolen from their
ranches. w. j. McFetrick, chief OF
the Northern Pacific detective force,

ACTION OF IRRIGATION CON-
GREss ATTRACTS ATTENTION.
SOLoNs ARE INTERESTED
Senators and Representatives From
the West Are Discussing Action
Taken at Ell Paso Meeting.

washington, DeC.
Senators and congressman who are
coming in from the west are discuss
ing with considerable interest the re-
cent irrigation congress at Ell Paso
and it's somewhat radical pronounce
ment on the subject of the land laws.
Senator Newlands of Nevada, who
tool an active part in the delibera-
tions, states that he considers the
congress as having been a most i'm
portant one and as having established
a new policy in regard to the more ex-
tensive reclamation of the arid west.
The Ell Paso congress went on rec
ord by a vote of over three to one in.
favor of a policy of BODYBUILDING and
the preservation of the public domain
grabbing and speculation in the ma
tional resources. The resolutions re.
cited that the withdrawals of timber
lands into forest reserves and with.
drawal of agricultural lands under the
national irrigation laws-aggregating
120, Doc 600 acres-form an established
policy of preservation and that this
should be extended to the entire pub
lie domain, timber and agricultural.
To this end the irrigation congress
urged the immediate repeal of the
timber and stone law, the desert land
law, the communication clause OF the
homestead law, and of all laws author
iZing the issuance of land scrip. The
irrigation congress proposed as a sub
stitute for the timber and stone act,
the stumpage bill, embodying the sug-
gestions of the president and which
passed the senate last session. This
bill allows for the sale of timber at
it's market price, but keeps the title
of the land in the government, thus
providing for reforestation.
1t proposes as a substitute for the
desert land law an arid homestead
law, similar to the old five-year home
stead law, but allowing a reasonable
period for reclamation before requir-
ing continuous residence.
AS one of the prominent delegates
stated, this land and forest platform
Of the Ell Paso congress constitutes a
complete land policy for the nation.
Overturning the action of the Ogden
irrigation congress last year, the Eli
Paso congress met the land, water
anu forest issues squarely and a
fully, as Senator Clark of Montana
urged in his passionate speech, and
it goes on record in it's land law reSO-
luton as favoring the highest develop
ment of the west by the preservation
OF all government lands from specula-
ton and by the creation of homes and
the irrigation and genuine settlement
OF the arid region.
The 81 Paso congress resolutions in
emect stated that The time has come
when our great land and water re-
sources must be withdrawn from
speculation, %squandor and ill.use it
we are to provide homes for the vast
population which the arid west is ca
pable of supporting, and which in
time to come will make it in wealth,
power and Importance a keen rival
of the humid region.

RUSSIA GAINS HER POINT
WILL NOT PUNISH OFFICERS OF
BALTIC SQUADRON.
Dogger Bank Board Can Only Fix the
Responsibility - France and
America Appoint.

st. Petersburg, Dec. 1.-The terms
under which the international Dogger
bank commission will sit are publish
ed in the governmental Viestnik. Rus
STA has carried it's point in seeing that
the word punishment" upon which
Lord L~ansdowne in his Guildhall
speech laid particular stress and
which the entire British press insisted
upon so emphatically, does not appear.
The commission is given authority
merely to find where the blame is.
Should the blame be found to rest
upon the Russians the reply of this
country would be that an unfortunate
mistake was made by it's officers in
the conscientious execution of their
duty.
Russia regrets the incident and will
pay indemnities, but punishment OF
the officers is out of the question.

Calling cards at the Gazette ONCE.
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1904-08-04

When the Populist movement was
first started, 1 was called upon to act
as chairman of a convention to send
delegates to Democratic convention.
! l was called out of bed at 3 o'clock in
/ the morning to go to Hutchinson and
make fight on another Democrat who
was opposing Jerry Simpson for con-
gress. We sent him there, and I want
to say that think Jerry Simpson one
/ of the brightest men we ever sent to
congress. Another time they called me
from the farm where I had gone to
recover my health. l went to Wichita
and the fight came up again. We
scrapped it out, and endorsed Jerry
again. L might go on and mention 9TH
er fights in which nave worked with
the Populist party.
THE Populists came and asked me to
accept the nomination for judgeSh hip.
didn't want it, but they called their
convention and nominated me. AS
result we defeated Judge Reed. After
four years, the Populists and Demo-
Gratis renomfnated me, and gave me a
majority of 1926 in the election. I had
two officials to appoint. I appointed a
stenographer VINO was a Democrat, and
an auditor who was a Populist. He
made a splendid officer. 1 want to say
that the Populists make as good off
GERS as any ever elected.
ION another occasion the people ask
ed me to be a candidate for governor.
1 finally said that if they would bring
around fusion, / would accept the NOM
nation. 1 believed the time had come
for a change. 1 believed the people
were tired ofsBurtonism. I-believed We
had need of railroad legislation. Can
you get railroad legislation from the
Republican party which is dominated
by the railroads? Can you expect it
from candidate for governor VINO is
heeled by a railroad contractor?
I'VE have a splendid state platform.
If there is one plank of it you do not
approve of, 1 wish you would say so
right now"
Judge Waterbury asked Mr.. Dale If
the state platform endorses the st.
Louis Parker platform.
Yes. sir. it does" said Mr. Dale at
understand what the gentleman is drfv-
ing at. He is working this indepen-
dent racket. 1t endorses the st. Louis
platform just as the Populist platform
endorses the Springfield platform, and
the Republican platform endorses the
Chicago platform. You say you can't
endorse Parkerism. You don't need to
endorse Parkerism. This is a state
fight.

the humorists of the convention,
thought it would be a good idea to do
some more comforting with the Demo-
Gratis. He urged the delegates to
stand shoulder to shoulder and face
to face" Somebody started a laugh
at this, and Mr.. Chenault laid 1t onto
the reporters. Turning to the press
table he exclaimed in accents wild:
IF these Republican newspaper re-
porters interrupt me again I will de-
nounce them. / am not afraid of all
the Republican newspapers on earth
or in hell"
Taylor Riddle then stepped in to
untangle the convention, which seemed
to be at loss to know exactly what
to do. Riddle had a way carefully
planned out, and as usual, carried his
point. He moved that the proposition
of the Democrats that the Populists
name seven candidates on the Demo-
cratic ticket be accepted.
Just about this time, Judge Dale
was discovered in the rear part of
the hall, and the convention invited
him to make speech. He accepted,
and said in part:
Dale'S Talk to POpuIistS.
Il want to say to you that it looks
quite natural to see a convention of
this kind; one of the scrappy kind, which
scraps and scraps and in the end comes
out with more Populists or Democrats
than ever before.

thorized to fill in names on the ticket
in case any of the nominees should
decline to serve.
Judge Babb offered this resolution,
which was carried:
Resolved that all the antitrust
voters be invited to vote for the Hon
Thomas E. Watson and the Hon
Thomas Tibbles of Nebraska for pres
ident and vice president respectively
Judge Waterbury, the man who
didn't bolt, moved that the Populists
re-adopt the party emblem of a home
He also stated that Thomas E. Wat
son, the Populist candidate for pres
ident, had notified him that he would
come to Topeka on August Is and
make a speech, if desired by the state
central committee.
The call was made for the various
judicial districts to hand in their Sc
lections for member of the state CEN
trail committee. 1t was also announced
that the new and old central COM
mittees would meet at 10 o'clock this
morning at the Copeland hotel
At about 1 a. m. the convention
adjourned sine die

We can't do this fusion as we did
before. An infamous Republican legis-

1,4OO votes in Sedgwick county trying

votes would you lose in the state il
you tried the same method? 1t is nee
essary to have one ticket and vote it
straight. The Populists are the most

They can vote such a ballot. But the
Democrats have many foreign voters.
We have large German element,

Then the Bolt Came.

AS soon as the vote was announced,
John Mollison and Judge waterbury
both rushed to the front of the hall.
They did not wait for the formality
of recognition by the cha1r-appar-
emily they didn't want it. While the
chairman banged with his gavel, and
the delegates commenced to stand up
in their places and yell, Mollison
shouted at the top of his voice:
"You who will stand by the guns,
let's adjourn to the senate chamber
Just across to the other side OF this
building, and do business there!"
Mollison led the way to the door,
shouting for everybody to follow him.

The small delegation which left the
convention went direct to the senate
chamber, which contrary to law, had
been prepared for their reception by
Collins, the state house custodian.
Collins evidently knew what was COM
ing. Everything was ready for them
in the senate chamber, and Collins
led the way and unlocked the door

This ended the fun. The victory OF
the fusionists was complete and de-
cisive. The rest of the programme, af-
ter the bolt came at IL o'clock, was
merely the formal compliance with the
terms of the agreement.
The nominating committee which Sc
lected the candidates for the conven-
ton to put on the ticket was COM

Carney. The committee held its ses-
sion in the clerks office, and re-
ceived suggestions from anybody who
cared to make them. But it only GER
titled back one nomination for each
office. Other nominations were given
chance, however, but only one
change, as stated, was made in the
committees list. 1t took the commit
tee about an hour to complete its
work. There seemed to be consider

candidates, so that the various sec
