he might have opened the doors and
closed them again

who the burglar is. I do not think that
it would have taken much of an expert
to do the job this fellow did. Standing
a the front door anyone can see where
the vault is located The vault is set
on four walls OF stone built from the
cellar to the bank floor and these are
filed with concrete. l suppose that the
burglar believed that if he gained en-
trance through one of the side walls
he could work at the safe from the un-
der side The concrete loosened easily,

ADVANCE BURTON CASE
Secretary john G. Carlisle Appears
as Senator's Attorney

Washington, Jan. 22.--In the su-
preme court of the United States a
motion was made for the advancement
of the hearing in Senator Burton s
case. The motion was made by So
Hcitor General Hoyt for the govern
ment and concurred in by ex-Secretary
Carlisle. in Senator Burton's behalf.
In his motion Mr.. Hoyt stated:
THE plaintiff in error, Joseph Ralph
Burton, was elected United States sen
ator for the state of Kansas for term
of six years, expiring on the 4th of
March, 1907. He has not resigned
neither has he participated in the de-
hberations of the senate since his
original Indictment. on January %,
1904. 1t will thus be seen that the
state of Kansas has been without its
full representation in the senate for a
period of nearly two years. Under the
provisions of the statutes, if the judg-
ment of the court below is sustained.
the Office of plaintiff in error is ipso
facto vacated.
1T is therefore of great importance
to the people and state of Kansas that
this case be determined at an early
date. The interests of the general
government will also be subserved bv
an early hearing"

New York. Jan. 22-Enough mem-

Jersey City and Senator Everett Colby
of New Jersey advised them to get into
politics. Both speakers, who were in
troduced as New Jerseys political re-

bitter terms.

Colby, in beginning his speech. Il

great number of citizens in New Jer-

taught to see the relation between

We need to make the game more open,
abolish Interference and do away with

I'm my opinion the remedy lies in
the direct primary and direct nominal

Mayor Pagan said among other
things:
Too many Christian men stand
aside and look with horror and disgust
on the existing conditions in our pub

manager of the Iroquois theater at
the time of its deadly fire. must stand
trial for involuntary manslaughter,
charged with responsibility for the
negligence which left the theater pa

Judge Kavanagh will hold that the
city council clearly intended that the

specified projections for their patror6,;
that the indictments charge the negli-
gence of the theater management in
not providing these projections was
the proximate cause of the deaths,
and that this is d matter for the de-
termination of a jury.
He will hold that the violation of
a municipal ordinance is prina facie

NO COAL FOR THE PEOPLE.
Rock Island Tells Why People Of
Southwest Can't Be Supplied.

According to the statement of the
Rock Island attorneys, it is impossible
for that road to do anything to relieve
the coal famine in the southwestern
part of the state. The people down in
that section grew tired of seeing the
Rock Island hauling coal through
their towns without stopping, while
the need for fuel was pressing all
along the line. They filed a protest
with the railroad board. Most of the
coal used there comes from western
mines.
Rock Island, today filed the roads an
swer to the protest. He says that all
commercial coal is controlled entirely
by the Colorado & Southern railroad.
IF they do not see fit to furnish cars
for hauling the coal" says Mr.. Walker,
I'VE can not compel them to do SC"
The Rock Island can get all the coal 1t
needs for its own use from the Colo
rado & Southern, but the public viii
have to wait, it seems.
