FIVE FROM KANSAS.
Are Among the Judges at the Interna-
tiOnaI Stock Show.

Chicago, Dec. 16.-With a great lowing
of cattle, stamping of hoofs and tramp
ling of spectators, the International
Stock show was opened in the big new
buildings at the stock yards this morn
ing. The feature of the first day was
the judging of cattle by agricultural
school students. The contest was open
to any farmers son under 25 years of
age and to any agricultural school boy
who had never competed in any previ-
Gus judging contest. They came from
various states and many of them wore
bands of color on their arms represent
ing the institutions to which they were
attached.
The young men from western colleges
who competed are:
Iowa Agricultural college-R. A. Cave,
S. A. Fry, R. ". Grouse, z. A. Cover
dale and r. T. Gribbon.
Kansas Agricultural eollege-H. J.
Bottomly. W. J. Brown, C. S. Jones, J.
s. Montgomery and F. L. Williams.
Michigan Agricultural, Ohio State
university and Ontario Agricultural col
lege were also represented.
THAT makes a fine start for the
show" said General Manager W. E.
Skinner, as he watched the young men
at work. Look at their earnest faces
and how careful they are in their
work. Isn't that a reflection of the
character of the men who are the
foundation stones of the nation. This
show and this annual contest do won
ders in the way of interesting the
youths in the study and Improvement
of the various breeds of dOmesticated
animals.
1--WE are making the stock judging
contest more important feature this
. year than ever before. The Union
Stock Yards & Transit company will
award a beautiful trophy to the agri-
cultural college whose five students do
the most effective work.
I'm general the show will be far
ahead of anything we ever had before
There are 80 per cent more entries.
That's proof enough, isn't it, of grow

Custom Duty on Her Oriental
Presents Is 81,
She Wrote Her Personal Check
for the Amount.
NOT WORTH $4,000.
There We're Nearly so Fans in
the Collection.
A Pair Of Matched Pearls From
Sultan of Sulu.

Washington, Dec. 16.-Miss Alice
Roosevelt's presents, brought by her
from the Orient, have been appraised
by the customs collector of The port Of
Georgetown and she has paid the duty,
amounting to 81, 126. Their actual value
was less than $4,000 The amount of
duty was paid by Miss Roosevelt her
self by check drawn against her person
al income left her by her mother.
Among the many varied gifts that Miss
Roosevelt received were a number of
Oriental fans. There were nearly so
and many of them are exceedingly beau
tiful, having been intended originally
for purely decorative purposes.
1t is certain Miss Roosevelt now has
the best collection of Oriental fans ever
seen in this city. One of the MikadO's
souvenirs is a tall screen of white satin,
pearl fnlaid. It is said to be strikingly
beautiful. The sultan of SUlu gave two
very fine pearls, perfectly matched.
They are unmounted and the president s
daughter has turned Ehem over to her
fiance, Representative Nicholas Long
worth, who will have them made into
a ring for her Many rare pieces of
royal satsuma were given her. One piece
is over two hundred years old. OF the
larger PRESENTS three-legged teak wood
chair IS most admired.
It is the intention of the young lady
to give each of the members of the
party that accompanied her on the trip
to the Philippines some naemento of
the occasion from among her presents.
She has already distributed among the
younger ROosevelts an assortment of
Philippine weapons.

Members of the Topeka club have a
permanent home at last and it is a home
to be proud Of For more than a
month the members of this club prac-
tically have been without a place to
call their own. This condition of af-
fairs has been due to the fact that they
had to leave their clubhouse on the

streets before their new building on
the opposite corner had been completed
and made ready for occupancy.
But the new clubhouse has been fin
ished and the members are able to en-
joy again the advantages of club life.

one of the finest buildings in Topeka.
It is of the colonial style of archi-
lecture, three stories high and built
of cream colored brick, with stone
trimmings A broad veranda sur
rounds the Harrison and Sixth street
sides.

The Canal Deficiency Bill Passes
the Senate
After Bitter Opposition and Ac-
rimOniOus Debate.
MAKES A CONCESSION.
President Promises to Cut Out
Literary Bureau
And Thus Silences the OPP
pOnents of the Measure.

Washington, Dec. 16.-The bitter
criticism of canal methods that has
marked three days consideration by
the senate of the bill to provide for
an II million dollar deficit in the ap-
preparation for the Panama canal
commission eliminated late this after
noon in the passage of the bill without
division and after the announcement
was authorized on the floor that the
administration had decided to abandon
the canal literary bureau presided
over by Secretary Bishop.
Today's debate lacked none of the
acrimony that has characterized the
discussion from the beginning. Two
leading Democratic senators, Bacon
of Georgia and CulbersOn of Texas, de-
nounced what they termed eXtrava-
CANT and favoritism in appointmen
One Democrat Mr.. Newlands (Nev.)
advocated leniency of judgment, and
pointed out the great engineering work
by the geological survey as a possible
solution of the problem of canal con-
Struction.a
one Republican, Mr.. Hopkins (Ill.)
took issue with Secretary Taft as to
the business acumen of the canal pur-
chasing agent.
Mr.. Culberson arraigned the ad-
ministration's canal policy in scathing
tration, he said, lin this matter from
the beginning was characterized by in
trigue and lawlessness 1t has since
been marked by favoritism and ex-
travagance, if not profiigaey, and it
will probably end in failure"
He interrogated Mr.. Allison, the
chairman of the appropriation com
mittee, in charge of the bill, as to the
legal services being rendered the COM
mission by William Nelson Cromwell,
lraFN Y
! tain what amount of the appropria-
ton being asked for was to go to the
well known attorney.
Allison Replies.
The Iowa senator explained that the
committee had no knowledge Of the
facts desired and stated that insofar
as it knew the commission required
no legal advice that it could not
| secure in its own bureau. Mr.. Cul-
/ berson characterized the literary bu-
reau of the commission as "an IN
healthy policy attempted to be en-
grated upon the government"
| He was talking on an amendment
/ that he had offered providing that no
part Of the appropriation should be de-
4 voted to the maintenance of the liter
aryF bureau. He stated that upon as
SuranceS that the administra ton would
abolish its attempt to mold public opin-
/ ion he would not press his amendment.
1t was at this juncture that Mr.. Hale
/ (Rep.s Me.) interrupted TO announce that
4 the bureau would be eliminated and Mr..
/ Bishops duties confined strictly to
those of secretary, the administration
/ having recognized that the literary bu-
reau was an unnecessary and improper
/ thing.
Mr.. Culberson. in referring to the
salaries paid oficials and subordinates

READY TO STRIKE.
Germany Is Prepared to Fight France
Over Morocco.

Chicago. Dec. 16.-From it's Berlin cor
respondent the Daily News has the fol-
lowing late dispatch today:
"Germany's army and navy are ready
to strike France the moment The repub-
lie attempts, at the international con-
ference at Madrid in January, to en-
force its claims to supremacy in
Morocco. This is the substance of a
vigorous official statement supplied to
your correspondent by an official of
the foreign office today.
Germany does not regard the French
yellow book as an unequivocaI indica-
ton that France has abandoned her
pretensiOns to a preferential position in
Morocco. The book has merely given
the impression here that while the let
ter Of the French schemes has been
altered the spirit remains the same;
that is, that France still lays claims to
an international manlate in Morocco
and that it aims at securing highly
special rights there.
Against this policy Germany protests
and will continue to protest with all the
force at its command
The same foreign official continued:
Germany has the right as a signatcry
of the Madrid convention Of 1896, as
well as because of its commercial in
terests to stand guard against the dan
ger of an eventual French protect crate
in Morocco. We have recognized
Frances special position in Morocco so
far as concerns the Algerian frontier,
but how widely those frontier rights
extend re%Sins to be determined. We
certainly will not permit them to be
construed as embracing the whole of the
Moroccan empire.
Germany is exercising no pressure
to influence the votes at the coming
conference. We want only that each
power shall vote in its own interests.
1t is Germany's sole purpose to hold
open the rich Moroccan market to the
enterprise of all nations. without dis
elimination, and to crush forever the
possibility of Frances converting that
country into a second Tunts.
IF the maintenance of this principle
results in the disturbance of European
peace, the responsibility viii not lie on
this side Of the Rhine To this extent
British fears of 'Germany's warli1e
purposes are fully justified"
