VOTE OF CENSURE.
Against Sir Henry Campbell Banner
man Introduced by Wyndham

London, May Geo. Wyndhan, who
had been absent owing to illness since
his resignation of the chief secretary
ship for Ireland, returned to the house
of commons this afternoon and as d
preliminary to the Introduction of the
vote of censure Of Sir Henry Campbell
Zimmerman (the Liberal menSer) on
the irish policy of the government made
a personal explanation of the reasons
for his resignation.
He said he had insisted on retiring
from the cabinet not on the grounds of
policy but because political and person
al reasons had convinced him that he
could better serve the government as
an unofficial member than as secretary
for Ireland. His views had not changed
in the smallest degree in regard to the
Irish administration. The union must
be the fundamental principle of any
sound Irish policy.
Mr.. Wyndham thought the scheme for
evolution was in some way more open
to criticism than even the plans for
home rule itself. The situation in both
Ireland and Endland had become COM
plicated by a personal misunderstand-
ing for which he himself was partly
to blame. He had never contemplated
any delegation of legislative power
from the house of commons other than
the power of dealing with purely pri-
Vate bills.
Sir Henry Campbell Zimmerman
then moved his resolution which
amounted to a vote of censure for the
policy and proceedings of the Irish
government connected with and sub
sequent to the appointment Of Sir Nc
Donnel
After lengthy criticism of the gov
ernment's policy, Sir Henry concluded
with remarking that as to the future
Irish policy mutterings of coercion
were heard. If that proved to be the
case. EngIishmen would learn that the
real separationists were the unionists
who first cajoled ireland and then
abandoned her.

ROYCE NAMES WATSON.
lola Man WIN Be Assistant Bank
Commissioner.

Bank Commissioner John Q. Royce
has announced the appointment of W.
T. Watson of lola to be assistant state
bank commissioner. The appointment
will take effect July 1.
Mr.. Watson has accepted the posi-
ton, and came to Topeka today TO
make arrangements for taking the po-
sition. The pay will be $500 year.
At the present time, Mr.. Watson IS
assistant cashier of the lola State
bank. which position he has held for
the past two years. He is also chair
man of the Republican city central
committee of lola. and was prominent
ly identified with the boss buster
movement. This appointment is one
which will doubtless meet with the
approval of the boss buster faction.
and will serve to soothe their rufffed
feelings for the appointment of Mr..
Royce. Some days ago when Mr..
Royce first took the Office of bank
commissioner, he informed some of his
friends that Watson would get the
place, as he desired to recognize the
boss buster faction of the party.
Mr.. Watson formerly lived in Mar
ion county, and it was there that he
became acquainted with Governor
Hoch. The friendly relations which
have existed between Hoch and Wat
son are doubtless one of the strong in
huences which led to his appointment
by Mr.. Royce.

KILLED 0NA TRAIN.
Edward Calhoun shot by Man Who
Killed His Brother-in-Law.

Houston. Tex. May Edward
Calhoun was shot and killed on board
an incoming San Antonio and Aransas
passenger train at Wallis today by w
T. Eldridge of San Antonio, Tex,
formerly vice president and general
manager of the Cane Belt railway.
Calhoun is a brother-in-law of Captain
William 0. Donovan who was killed
by Eldridge about three years ago on
passenger train on the same road.
Eldridge was recently acquitted of
numbering Captain Donovan.
Today's tragedy grew out of the
murder of Donovan and subsequent
attempts made upon the life of Ed
ridge. Eldridge was shot through the
lungs by an unknown party but recov-
cred. DissensiOn over the control of
the Cane Belt railway in which Ed
ridge and Donovan were jointly inter
ested resulted in the killing of Dono-
van, since which time a feud is said to
have existed between relatives of the
deceased and Eldridge. All of the
parties are prominent.

may see men sitting about the tiny ia
bles reading, talking, playing dominoes
or cards and slipping cup after cup Of
their pudding coffee.
Sometimes the coffee is accompanied
by an odd triangular cake thickly var
nished with a sticky moIasseslike sauce.
Within the cake has the inevitable
chopped nuts, and the whole, in taste
and smell, suggests something between
drug store and barber shop.
This particular cake is probably the
deadliest form of food served for hui
man consumption anywhere in New
York, outside the cheap restaurants, the
speciality OF which is ptomaine poison.
The Greeks. however, seem to eat it
with impunity. Perhaps the cognac that
often accompanies the coffee acts as
an antidcte.

STOLE a PURSE AND RAN.
But officer Miller Was a Better Runner
and Caught the CuIprit.

Harrison Matheny, a negro about Is
years of age, stole a purse containing
$25 this afternoon from e IS Russell,
who works in the Blitz jewelry store.
She was in the Weber grocery at the
time, and the negro sneaked Ger purse
and ran. Matheny was caught within
a few minutes by Patrolman Bob Miller,
and all but about S150 of the money re-
covered. When caught the negro was
busily engaged in trying to hide the
money under some refuse in an alley.
He had left money in three or four
places, but the officers found it. He
claimed that he found the pocketbook
on the street, but as he was seen in the
store, and also running about the time
Miss Russell missed it, there is no doubt
in the mind of the officer as to his guilt.

AT A GREEK RESTAURANT.
Oriental Dishes, Excellent CoTee and
Deadly Cake That Greeks Enjoy.

Greek cooking in New York is
something between French and Turk
ish. In the matter of solids and
sauces French influence seems pre-
dominant; in the matter of sweets and
coffee Oriental influence is stronger.
Time was when nobody who could
dine elsewhere dined at a Greek res
taurant, but the Greek restaurants
have greatly improved within ten
years, and they flourish nightly
This prosperity is largely due to the
fact that of the thirteen or fifteen
thousand Greeks resident in the city,
it is estimated that hardly 500 are
members of families. One Greek res
ident says that there are hardly fifty
Greek families in the city.
A dinner in a Greek restaurant of
the better sort begins with a white,
slightly aromatic, sweet liquor served
follows, and then comes the meat,
which is often in effect rich ragout
with spinach or okra as part of the
dish.
one or more other vegetables may
accompany the meat. Fish also is
served when the meal is at all elabo-
rate, and in its usual place after the
soup.
Before the coffee, and often with it,
come the sweets. They are Of many
kinds. Some of them suggest the old
fashioned washington pie with the
addition of chopped nuts.
Another dessert suggests a hot.
moist sweet breakfast food sparsely
sown with kind of oblong seed.
Americans seldom like this particular
dish Dried currants form part of
several other characteristic Greek
desserts.
Coffee is the serious business Of the
Greek meal. It is in effect Turkish COT
fee plus sugar. though it is not prepar-
ed in the approved Turkish fashion
The first essential of Greek coffee, or
dfnariIy served in a demitasse, is that
it shall show on the surface the cream.
This is not cream, as ordinarily under
stood. but the essential oil of the coffee

their special coffee that many men
drink ten or twelve cups during the
day. In nearly all the restaurants you

MIR. LOW ISN'T AFRAID.

the state board of railroad commits

1t seems that owing to the fact that
the Rock Islands only entrance into

through the state of Missouri the
Kansas state board has no jurisdiction
over its tariffs from these points. Con-
sequently it is immaterial to the

BENSON'S SELL BRIEF.
It Arrives-Governor May Not Pardon
Young Convict.

Governor Hoch today received from
Judge A w. Benson of ottawa his
brief in behalf of Willie Sell. This is
the document for which the governor
has been waiting, and which, when the
governor has read it. will probably re
lease the announcement about the Sell
pardon.
Great pressure is being brought to
bear upon Governor Hoch, both for and
against the pardon. 1t now seems to
be the general impression that the par
don will be refused, in spite of the fact
that the governor has indicated great
sympathy for the convict. one of the
lawyers interested in the case said to-
day:
1t would be the refinement of cru
city for Governor Hoch to refuse this
pardon, now that he has indicated so
strongly that it would be granted"

Governor Says No Application for Re
prieve Has Reached Him.

Washington, May 9.-Acting Secre-
tary of State LOOMS is in receipt of a
telegram from Governor Stokes at
Trenton, stating that so far no applica-
ton for a reprieve in the case of Anna
Valentino, under sentence of death for
the murder of Rosa Silva, has been
made to him; that it appears that the
courts are still open to her, but if that
should not be so he will give weighty
consideration to the application to the
state department based on a request of
the italian ambassador that the execu-
ton of sentence be postponed. The
governor stated further that his power
to grant reprieve was only for a
limited time.

on personal business. 1t is stated that
the reason the governor went to Mar

Incidentally the governor wanted to
investigate the charges of crookedness

ty clerk at Marion. Jesse Thrasher the
county clerk, resigned last Thursday on
account Of alleged. improper use of the
