HOLIDAY MAKES REPLY.
Says He is Only Trying to Make To-
peka a City Of $4,000.

c. K Holiday. president of the Com
mercial Club. councilman from the
Second ward and otherwise prom
inent IN the city, was asked this morn
Club or the city would make arrange
ments to entertain Thomas Lawson
when he comes here on next Monday.
He knotted his brow for few mo-
ments, wlnked, and then replied:
Sure, III tell you what think about
Lawson"
And this was the interview:
Il see that my friend Harold Chase
editor of the Capital, does me great
honor this morning by referring to me
anti-pfohibition forces in the city coun-
ell Chase does me proud. but I am
AFRAID he exaggerates my Importance.
AS leader of the and-prohibitiou
forces, so called, spoke against the
prohtoitory ordinance two weeks ago
and led the anti-prohibition forces in
the council against the law, which con-
sisted Of Holidays solitary vote. If
my friend Chase will wake up and
come out of his trance, he will find
that the council adopted his pet pro-
hibitory ordinance one week after the
Supreme Court knocked out the old
prOhibitory ordinance at considerable
expense to the city. We are now in
from the decision OF the lower courts
to the Supreme Court, till that august
body takes another bat at the measure
and SO on ad inhnitum.
GAS to gas, If my friend Chase Will
but possess his soul in patience, he
will ind before six months have ex-
pired that the greatest boon that ever
happened for the substantial upbuiid-
ing Of Topeka. one that will be the
most important factor in making it a
city Of seventy-five thousand people in
1910-is the work your humble serv-
ant has done in securing money and
men to bring natural gas to this city.
It will be here in August or Septem-
Der, and it will be Is cents a thousand
cubic feet for domestic consumers and
the prices for both domestic consum-
ers and manufacture will be as low
as Kansas City. One of the biggest
blocks to be erected on Kansas avenue
this year, SO by 40 feet IS the direct
result Of natural gas coming here
II am simply trying, as councilman
and president Of the Commercial Club.
to make city of Topeka; to push it
to $4,000 yes 1000 population in
1910. To do this requires something
more than blue laws and prohibition
edicts. If this is a crime, then I am
guilty"

Six Are Released at Rock Island De
pot Today.

Half a dozen carrier pigeons were

MAY COST TOO MUCH.
Proposed shunganunga Dykes Bee
Heved to Exceed Limit.

It may be that the cost Of straighten-
ing ShunEanunEa creek and building
dykes will be 50 expensive that, under
the provisions OF the law which limits
the cost, the work can not be done.
The law provides that to pay for such
improvements a benedt district shall be
formed of the property to be directly
ment for the raising of money shall be
made upon the actual appraised value
of the property as returned by the ap-
praisers and further that the assess
rnent shall not exceed ten per cent.
County Commissioner Haynes thinks
the proposed work will cost from S6,O 600
to 5000 and that it is doubtful If ten
per cent Of the appraised value Will
raise such a sum. The cost might be
ured the cost Of land condemned, the
expense of clearing the channel of the
creek, building dykes and excavating
a new channel to straighten the creek
Appraisers will be appointed, when 4
proper petition is presented to the board
of county commissioners asking that
this work be done, and the appraisers
will decide upon the value of the prop
erty in the benefit district
When the suggestion was first made
that improvements be made on the
Shunganunga the board of county COM
missioners thought that it could not be
done as the law prohibited the changing
of the channel of a stream from its nat
ural course. The matter was submit
ted to Assistant County Attorney Nc
Nary and he found that under the new
law that provision IS made for such
work. The property owners in the dis
trict TO be benefited have to petition the
commissioners asking that the work be
done

Russia Must Not MOlest Frontier
OF China.

Toxic, June 2s.-6 p M.-The COM
mittee Of the Constitutionaiist party, Of
which Marquis Saionji is president, met
today and passed the following resoiu-
ton:
The Constitutionalist party. since the
outbreak Of the war, frequently has
published its convictions, for the sake Of
realizing the aim and purpose Of the
war, by proving the national unity Of
feeling.
Now that the question of concluding
peace has been brought up. though it
is not necessary to state the terms of
peace in detail, we yet deem it neces-
sary and opportune to declare that, for
the sake of realizing the aim and pur-
pose or the war, as stated at the de-
elaration Of hostilities; and also for the
sake Of securing future guarantee in
the interest OF our empire, as well as
for planting peace in the extreme east
on a permanent basis, the cession of
territory and the repayment of the out
lays caused by the war be demanded
and the Korean and Manchurian ques-
tons be definitely and clearly settled"
The leaders of the Constitutionalist
party, after taking this action, inter
viewed Premier Katsura and presented
the resolution.
A manifesto published today by the
II Os4 SSoANS party Is pFacliCd4Ay 4QeLll-
cal with the resolution adopted by the
Constitutionalists. It contains, how
ever, the following additional points,
which the party desired to have incor-
porated in the peace agreement:
FORBID Russia to raise works for
w6rlike use in localities where Japan's
interests might be menaced. Compel
Russia to relinquish the privileges she
has enjoyed in Manchuria, refrain from
future interference with the Manchur-
ian question. and pledge herself to IN
dertake no measure deemed to be
menacing to peace or the interests Of
the frontiers Of China"

WOULDN'T TAKE THE MONEY.
A Wife objects to Her Husbands
Methods of Obtaining Funds.

New York. June 2s.-A new angle
has been given to the discussion of
tainted money by Mrs. William c.
ConneI of Staten Island. Before su-
preme court Justice Kelly in Brooklyn,
in response to habeas corpus proceed
ings brought by the husband, who
wished to obtain the custody of his
children, Mrs. Council declared she
would never live with her spouse SO
long as he continued to obtain money
as she put it, by gambling. Her hus-
band was a good man and won heav-
lily at the race track, she said; but it
was against her religious training to
use funds so obtained and although
Cornell left large sums lying about on
tables and in drawers for her, she re-
fused to touch it, and had returned
to her parents, taking along the chill
dren.
Justice Kelly advised the woman to
return to her husband, the latter hav-
ing declared to the court that he
was in receipt of a regular income,
but the woman refused and the writ
was finally dismissed.
