Bills Held Up in Kansas City Because
Mayor and Aldermen Are Interested.

They do things differently in Kansas
City than they do in Topeka. Last
night the board of public works of
that city refused to consider a bid to
supply the city with coal from the
Bolen-DarnaH Coal company because
Mayor Neff and Alderman Young are
stockholders in the concern. This is
in the face of the fact that the bid of
the BOlen-Darnall company was the
lowest of any submitted. The city
accepting the bid and said in giving
his opinion: 81 am of the opinion
that the letting of contract by the
board of public works in a concern in
which the mayor or a member of the
common council is stakeholder
would place him in such a position as
that his right to hold office would at
least be subject to question"
The city charter act of the state of
Missouri has the same law as the state
of Kansas with regard to public Off
Gals of a city having an interest di-
rectly or indirectly in contracts in
which the city is party. The law in
each state expressly forbids such an
notwithstanding this, contracts have
been let and are being let in which
members of the city council of To-
peka are interested. The amounts of
small and probably inconsequential.
Yet the principle is there and the law
intended that it should be observed.
1t is usually taken as a sufficient ex-
cuse to make the award to council
man if he happens to be the lowest
bidder.
Mayor w. H. Davis has taken the
right stand personally when he said
recently: ST have refused to allow my
firm to be entered in any of these city
contracts though there have been lots
of times where I could have furnished
the stuff for less than what it was
awarded. I have felt, however. that if
there was to be any question here
after regarding my position on that
matter that it would be better for me
not to have anything to do with the
city'S contracts
It is with the claims and accounts
committee that the difficulty lies.

STILL UNDER WATER.
All Efforts to Raise Sunl1en Submarine
Have Failed.

Bizerta. Tunis, July 12.-Minister of
Marine Thomson left Bizerta for Paris
today after a final visit to the spot
where efforts are still being made to
raise the submarine boat Farfadet. Adj
niral ALBERT, who is in charge of the
work, said it might take several days
before the submarine is brought to the
surface owing to the difficulty in pass
ing hawsers beneath the boat which Is
deeply imbedded in the mud. The min
lister thanked the admiral and the large
force of workers who have labored
throughout days and nights in the att
tempt to rescue the victims of the des-
troyer. The minister notably compli-
mented the excellent quipment of the
German salvage steamer Berger, which
has taken the chief work of relief and
salvage.

EX-SENATOR HARRIS HERE.
Says That He Endorses the Work OF
Roosevelt.

Ex-senator w. A. Harris was in To-
peka Tuesday night on business con-
nected with the American Shorthorn
Breeders association, of which he is
the national secretary.
Mr.. Harris is a Roosevelt man, in
spite of his Democratic record. He
says: 81 endorse the work of Roose-
welt, and would like to vote for such
a man for president. 1 do not ex-
pect to vote for Roosevelt or some
such Republican on the Republican
ticket. It is m yidea that there will be
a new alignment of political forces,
along liberal and conservative lines"
Mr. Harris says that there will be
shown by the assessors returns to be
a great falling off in the number of
cattle owned in the state. Mr..
Harris says:
There is not as much money in
the stock business as there once was,
and then the cattle are not breeding
as rapidly as they formerly did. There
is a disease which prevents this, and
1t is a matter which the department
of agriculture at Washington should
take up The department has made
some investigation, but it has not
IL been on a scale which will prove of
much benefit to the cattle breeder. I
know of breeding ranches which have
been given up on this account. The
owners have gone into the business
of fattening steers.
There is one matter which is OF
great interest to the stock men of the
country just at present, and that is
the proposed tariff which will take
effect next spring. Germany and, in
fact, all of the European countries
are prohibiting our live stock and
dressed meat products. Belgium is
the only European country to which
we can ship live stock. If something
is not done in the way of reciprocity
with the European countries we will
not have a large market for live stock
or dressed meat"
