lola, Kas., July 10.-Three saloons
in West street, in the heart of the
business section of lola, were wrecked
with dynamite early today. Much
damage was done to other property in
the vicinity, and the loss is conserva-
lively estimated at 100000. ]. E.
Thorpe, the owner of one of the sa-
looms, was injured, but not seriously.
The dynamite is believed to have been
exploded by some temperance reform
er. No arrests have been made.
The wrecked saloons were known as
the Red Light, the Blue Front and the
Eagle. There were three distinct ex-
plosions, each of terrific force. Besides
demolishing the three saloons. the ex-
plosions damaged the Palace shoe
store, the drug stores of Campbell &
Burrell and Cowan & Ausherman,
across the alley In the rear, and shat
tered dozens of plate glass windows In
the business section. The explosions
were heard at Humboldt, nine miles
distant.
The mayor has offered reward for
the miscreant and called a special
meeting of the city council to consider
the situation.
There has been much agitation in
lola recently over the saloons. which
have been run openly in violation OF
the prohibition law. and Governor
Hoch had been appealed to for aid in
closing the places.

OBSTRUCTION POLICY
DELAYS WORK OF CITY
COUNCIL UNABLE TO PROCEED
WITH BUSINESS
Member From Sixth Ward Asks PrlvI-
Iege of Making Four or Five Hour
Speech-Agaln He Threatens "Dis-
closures"

For two hours yesterday afternoon
ness of the city but was at last forced
to give up and take another day on ac-
count of the behavior of the member
from the Sixth ward, A. D. Houghton,
the "obstructionist."
Attorney John G. Mott presented a
petition to the council praying the
privilege of constructing a tunnel be-
meath Broadway, between the Bradbury
and Homer Laughlin buildings, for the
purpose of connecting these structures
with the sewer and for connecting the
power and heat plant in the basement
of the former building with that of the
latter.
The member Of the Sixth delivered
his franchise graft speech. This started
the trouble and for half an hour the
council listened to the "obstructionist,"
asking Deputy City Attorney Goudge
such questions as, IF ] manufactured
neckties on one side of the street would
need franchise to carry them across
the street to sell them?" and others Of
equal bearing on the subject under dis
eussion. At last, In desperation, the
council referred the question to the
already overworked board of public
works.
A few moments later In the city at
torney's report the contracts for fur
nishing 10000 feet of fire hose to the
fire department as recommended by the
fire commission, came up for approval.
He of the green goggles and the long
gloves had himself made the motion
referring the purchase of this hose to
the fire commission, and when the eoun-
ell wanted to stand by the decision OF
the commission he yelled gang poll
tics" and wanted to make a speech
which he said would be flour or five
hours long and very interesting, and
which would teach the couneilmen
something about parliamentary rules
Despite his threat the council pro-
ceeded to approve the contracts. Then
the "obstructionist" from the Sixth
whispered to the president of the coun-
Gil and threatened disclosures. but
Houghton did not offer to resign
not he.

FIGHT OVER CHOICE
OF CELL FOR POWERS
JAlLER AND MAYOR COME TO
BLOWS

the Battle Furniture In Room Pre-
pared for Prisoner Is Carried of
by Unidentified Persons

By Associated Press
CINCINNATI, July 10.-In the GUS
tody of the United States marshal, un-
der orders of United States Judge
Cochran, who last week assumed juris-
diction in his case Caleb Powers
charged with completely in the murder
of William Goebel at Frankfort in the
winter of 1900, was tonight lodged in
the Newport Jail, across the river from
this city, where he will be held pending
decision of various legal points aris-
ing out of his transfer from state to
federal jurisdiction.
When Powers arrived at the Newport
Jail at 1850 O'Clock tonight a contro-
versy arose between Jailer Ploeger and
Mayor Hembold as to what cell the
sisted that the cell which had been
prepared for Powers was not the
proper place. Ploeger and Mayor Hem
bold finally came to blows and the lat
fight between the mayor and the jailer
the furniture in the cell prepared for
Powers was confiscated by unidentified
persons.
Subsequently Powers was placed in
another cell with other prisoners
where he will remain until Jailer Ploe-
ger can secure other quarters for him
For five years Powers has been in
Jail. He has been tried four times and
sentenced to death three times, but as
he walked into Jail tonight he ex-
pressed hope of his ultimate acquittal
of the charge entered against him. He
was the only one of those charged with
conspiracy to murder William Goebel
to be convicted and sentenced to death.
His fight for life has been remarkable
and his attorneys today expressed the
belief that three more years may pass
before the end of the present legal
complication will make possible the
trial in the federal courts for which he
applied five weeks ago at London, Ky.

BRITISH ARMY
IS CRITICISED
LORD ROBERTS DECLARES IT
INADEQUATE
DwELLs ON DANGER OF WAR
Declares EnphatIeaIIy That Nation
Must Have Recourse Either to
Conscriptlon or system of
Manual Training
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press
LONDON, July 1O.-Field Marshal
Lord Roberts created sensation in
the house of lords this evening when,
in a lengthy and well-considered
speech, he deliberately expressed his
conviction as a practical soldier that
the military force Of Great Britain was
inadequate, imperfectly trained and
totally unfit to uphold Great Britain as
first class power. Lord Roberts did
not blame the government, which he
said was actuated by national feel
ing, but he scathingly attacked the
people of England, who, he said,
showed no national feeling toward the
military until danger arose. Then,
said Lord Roberts, the soldier was a
pet of the people, but this was an
evanescent enthusiasm and did not
last after the danger disappeared.
This was in reply to the earl of
Wemys and March, traversing Premier
Balfour's statement regarding the i'm
possibility of the invasion of Great
Britain and urging the necessity of
keeping up sufficient land force to re-
pei any possible invasion.
Lord Roberts said the lessons of the
South African war had been forgotten.
He had no hesitation in saying that the
armed forces of Great Britain as a body
were now as absolutely unfit ted and
unprepared for war as when the South
african trouble broke out He de-
clared emphatically that the choice lay
between conscription or some practical
system of manual training, and that
only by such means would it be pos
sible for Great Britain to possess armed
forces organized and trained to meet
the demands of the empire in the event
of war.
Country Must Awake to Danger
Lord Roberts, continuing, asserted
that any discussion of Great Britain's
military position within the limits of
the motion proposed by the earl of
Wemys and March would be entirely
unavailing. The country had to do with
a question, the issue Of which was the
life or death of the empire, which de-
pended upon Great Britain being able
to defend her eastern possessions and
at the same time take part in any affair
nearer home, either Of which necessi-
tated the placing in the field of an
army as large and efficient as any Of
the European countries, all of which
might be regarded as nations in arms.
He appealed to the country to awake
to it's danger and to take hold of the
army as a great national issue on
which the existence of Great Britain
depended. He said the whole empire
must rise to the occasion and that
every one must personally bear share
in the defense or enable those to whom
responsibility was delegated to become
in all respects efficient.

SUGGEST FIESTA PARK
FOR CHILD'S PLAYGROUND
Petition Presented to the Council for
Purchase of Site for This
Purpose

A numerously signed petition was
presented to the council yesterday
praying that the city buy Fiesta park
and convert it into children's play
ground. This is the second request for
a children's playground which has been
received by the council since that in
the Seventh ward was established q
few weeks ago.
Councilmen say the idea is a splen-
did one, but will cost lots of money and
they do not think, in the present state
of the city's finances, that more of these
breathing spots should be purchased
The question was referred to the finance
committee.
