Senate Votes to Reimburse
Speaker of the House.
Account of Money Credited With
Giving to University.

The senate this morning, by a vote
of 10 for to 13 against, under a, call
of the senate, adopted Senator Hodges
joint resolution to direct the ways and
means committee to see that Walter
Roscoe Stubbs is paid back the money
he was credited with giving the State
university.
The Hodges resolution. which was
adopted, is:
whereas. in an article entitled
Breaking Up a State Machine in the
October, 1904, number of the Cos
mopolitan Magazine, it is stated that
the machine in charge of the last leg
islature, in order to revenge itself
upon that distinguished citizen from
Douglas county, and of Kansas. Wal
ter Roscoe Stubbs; cut the appropria-
ton for the State university twenty
thousand dollars below the actual
necessities of that institution and gave
it to a distinguished Democrat mem
Der of that legislature to build a turn
pike, and
Whereas. it is stated in that article
that the said Walter Roscoe Stubbs,
in order to relieve the State university
from financial embarrassment, gave to
the regents of the university his per-
sonal check for twenty thousand dol
lars. and
Whereas, We have full confidence
in the disinterested patriotism and
public spirit of the illustrious speaker
of the present house of representa-
tives, Walter Roscoe Stubbs. and be-
lieving that the exploitation of Mr..
Stubbs. contained in the aforesaid
magazine is neither political bun
combe nor a fantastic tale of 'Fren-
Zied Finance and.
Whereas, The old machine is now
conspicuous by it's absence, and,
Whereas, While the people of Kan
sas should be and doubtless are duly
grateful for the Hberality dlspiayed
by the Hon. Walter Roscoe Stubbs in
relieving the State university of its
pressing necessities, we believe that
the state of Kansas cannot afford to
rest under the imputatiOn that its leg
islature, as a matter of spite, deprived
the University of Kansas of necessary
funds for it's maintenance, therefore,
be it
Resolved, That the ways and
means committee is hereby instruct
ed to report bill appropriating the
sum of twenty thousand dollars to re-
irnburse Walter Roscoe Stubbs for the
expenditure on behalf of the state
university heretofore referred TO IN
this resolution
and the absentees were sent for. The
senators decided to check it up to the
house and let Speaker Stubbs explain
this $4,000 check story ana instruct MS
lower house members what to DO.

their stock to market in poor condition,
thus reducing the average weight per
head and the average percentage of
dressed beef to live weight. As a re-
suit while the total number of cattle
slaughtered at five leading western
packing centers during the first half of
1902, decreased only about / per cent
as compared with the first half of 1901
the total weight of the cattle sIaugh-
tered is computed to have decreased 4.3
per cent and the computed dressed
weight decreased considerably more In
this connection the report says:
I'm the face of the strong demand
the price of cattle was forced to the
highest level ever known. The high
prices of beef, which caused so much
complaint among consumers at this
time were attributable wholly to these
abnormal cattle prices"
That in 1903, the price of cattle fell
very sharply, chiefly because OF a large
increase in the supply. The number of
markets during the first half of 1908,
was more than Is per cent greater than
during the first half of 1902, and on ac-
count of the increased size of cattle the
quantity of beef produced increased p
per cent.
In the second half of 1903 the quanti-
ty of beef derived from cattle killed at
the same markets was about 10 per
cent greater than in the corresponding
period of 1902 Under these conditions
the price of beef instead of remaining
at the high level Of 1902 fell during 1903
by a larger absolute amount and by
about the same percentage as the price
of cattle.
That the six leading packing com
panies especially are apparently not
capitalized.
That the percentage of profit on the
gross volume of business, including hog
and sheep products and other minor
commodities, is comparatively small. In
the case of Swift & Co, during the
three years 1902, 1903. and 1904. the
profits have in no case exceeded 2 per
cent of the total sales. In the case of
Cudahy Packing company for 1904, the
net profit was Is per cent of the total
sales: in 1902 it was % per cent.

When the Russian People Were Ask
ing for Bread

St Petersburg, March $40 p.
m-Emperor Nicholas manifesto to-
day refterating Russia's aspirations in
the far east and appealing to the
loyalty of the people to turn away
from sedition and support the govern
ment in order that the projected re-
forms may be carried out, has proved
profoundly disappointing to the lib
erals. The latter believe that it Will
not only aggravate the existing critical
situation, but is likely to precipitate a
veritable crisis if this is the emperor's
final response to the practically unani-
nous demand of the intelligent classes
for a voice in the government.
