STILL MORE TERRITORY
Ways and Means Committee VIII Take
in Rest of District 1O2.

If the city council continues to keep
busy taking in new territory the city
of Topeka will have a $4,000 popula-
ton before the year 1910
The ways and means committee of
the council in session last evening
recommended to take in the balance
of the school district 1O2 lying east of
the city and south of the Norton and
Heery additions.
Several blocks which adjoined Bid
die creek We're left out. Biddle creek
is an expensive and bothersome
stream. 1t overhows suddenly during
the rainy season and spreads out over
the adjoining land which lies low and
does not have enough fall to drain off
readily. The city had experience with
the portion of the creek which already
lies within the city limits and does not
want any more experience.
A number of plated tracts which
do not at present join on to the city's
limits but which will join on when the
remaining portion of the school district
has been taken in win come UP for
later consideration. These tracts lie
further east.
NIelrose addition west of the city and
lying between Sixth avenue and Tenth
avenue has also been recommended by
the committee to be made a portion Of
the city of Topeka.

Engagements.

New York, Jan Ex-senator Chaun-
cey NJ. Depew, whose health is said to
be impaired, was in consultation today
with several physicians and it was an

dinner invitations and all his engage
ments have been cancelled.
He is now at a time of life when
he finds that he must be careful of his
health He was out for a drive in the
park today with his nephew, Mr.. Pauld-
ing, and he will return to Washington
Sunday night. He has no intention of
giving up his work in the Senate"

Los Angeles, Cal, Jan. 20.-South-
ern California has experienced a down
pour of rain. The storm which was
very general ceased after a fall of :. .22
inches had been recorded. The rain

LAWYER FINED $500.
Court Holds That He Is in Contempt
to That Amount.

Denver, Colo, Jan. 2O.-Judge
Frank T. johnson today fined District
Attorney George Stidger $500 for
contempt of court and committed him
to iail until the fine is paid.
The trouble arose over the gam
blers' cases which were begun by
Judge Johnson in October and were
taken from his court by District At
torney Stidger and removed to the
criminal division of the court for
trial.
you have obstructed the due ad-
ministration of justice in this court
Mr.. Stidger,' said Judge Johnson
when he imposed the fine. you have
attempted to bring ridicule on this
court in the eyes of the public, and
to interfere with its duties"
District Attorney Stidger protested
vehemently, saying that no notice of
Investigation of his action had been
given him, and charging the court
with unfairness.

overpowered the robber.
As the mask was removed by one Of
the teachers the features revealed were
those of q former student and class
mate and well known to all As soon
as Thrapp was overpowered he began to
plead for his release saying that the
disgrace of the affair would be the
death of his mother who was at that
time lying i'll at their home.
Police were called and Thrap was
taken to the station where he was
searched and a complete highwayman's s
outfit was found on him as described by
the yellow backed and some of the high
classed literature for that matter, which
the young man had been addicted to
reading. The outfit consisted of two
masks, a cheap dark lantern, half
dozen button hooks so bent that they
could be used for opening locks, an
extra cap and a pair of gloves.
One of the strangest features OF the
case is the fact that Fred Thrapp. who
belongs to one Of the Oldest and best
families in the city, did not need money.
He was employed as carrier by a
morning paper and had managed to ac-
cumulate quite a substantial bank ac-
count and was regarded by his ac-
quaintences and friends as an ex-
emplary young man and was not known
to have any bad habits

HIS HEAD CRUSHED.
Wealthy Farmer Found Murdered In
His Home.

Warren, o., Jan. 20.@The people of
West Pennington, a village near here
are greatly excited today as a result of
the mysterious murder last night of R.
K Lewis, a wealthy banker and farm
er. An unknown man came to the
home Of Lewis in a carriage. Lewis
and this man, it is said, were in con
ference for an hour. At the end of
that time a hired man found Lewis
lying dead with his head crushed,
while his hands and feet were tightly
bound. The body was covered with
burning straw which had been sat
urated with coal oil The unknown
stranger was missing. It is believed
the murder followed quarrel over
business matters. Lewis, who was a
widower and 70 years of age, lived
alone.
Lewis skull had been crushed with
a fatiron. The hatiron covered with
blood was found near the body.
Lewis held many thousands of dollars
worth of chattel mortgages, and it is
believed that a quarrel over one Of
these resulted in his death. The mur-
derer evidently made no attempt at
robbery. for Lewis pocketbook and
watch were found on his person.

HEARING ENDS.
Delegate to Congress, ROdey Of
New Mexico.
Appears BefOre>the House Com
mittee on Territories.
FOR JOINT STATEHOOD.
He Says the Territories Are
Controlled by Corporations.
In Conjunction With the Federal
Office Holders.

Washington, Jan. 2O.-B. Rodey,
former delegate to congress from New
Mexico, appeared before the house COM
mittee on territories today and delivered
a speech in favor of the joint statehood
bill which afforded the Democratic and
Republican members OF the committee
an opportunity for final tilt on the
state hood question.
MI Rodey was repeatedly interrupt
ed by questions from members of the
committee and by heated arguments de
signed to bring out the attitude of the
administration on statehood
Representative Lloyd (Mo0 asked
Mr.. Rodey if it were not true that the
president and speaker of the house were
forcing the joint statehood issue. Mr.
Rodey asked to be excused from an
swering this question and Chairman
Hamilton CMich) intimated that the
Democrats were being forced by their
organization to oppose the bill.
Representative Moon (Tenn.) inter
rupted the argument to say; "I object
to the gentleman from Michigan and
the gentleman from Missouri having
this fuss here when in private they
express opposite opinions.
Mr. Rodey condemned the system
of taxation in both New Mexico and
Arizona, and said corporate influences
have been draining both territories
and holding down their taxes. Under
joint statehood, he said, the people of
the two territories could unite and
curb these Influences and prevent their
public domain from being stolen. He
pronounced the denunciation of the
Mexican population in New Mexico as
ridiculous and said the Mexicans were
religious and laW-abiding, and in no
sense a menace to the welfare Of the
proposed state.
In answer to a, question from Rep
resentative Moon, Mr.. Rodey made a
detailed statement of how corporate
influences get control of territorial
governments which are dominated by
federal ofhceholders. He frankly said
that he and Delegate Smith and other
well known men ride on railroad
passes and place themselves under OBJ
legations to the companies. Under
statehood, he said, governors would
be responsible directly to the people
and the public demand for increased
taxes on corporate interests would be
respected for political reasons.
Mr.. Rodey's speech closed the state
hood hearing before the house COM
mittee

TROUBLE In SIGHT.
Much Distrust Is Creeping in at
Moroccan Conference.

Algeciras. Spain Jan. 20.-Behind
the screen of amiability that envelopes
the relations of the ENJOYS of the pow
ers to the Moroccan conference a
rising feeling of distrust is observable.
due seemingly to the unWillingness of
both France and Germany to define
their positions beyond reaff1rming
somewhat wearisomely their adherence
to the open door. the sovereignty of
the sultan and the integrity of his ter
ritories.
The French delegates in all their
conversational reconnaissance with
their opponents have been unable, to
learn precisely what is the position of
Germany nor apparently have the Ger
man representatives been able to as
certain the joint intentions of France
and Great Britain. Extreme caution
and lack of confidence have begun to
destroy the favorable atmosphere for
negotiations which was created by the
cOurtesies and assurances of the first
days. There is a feeling among the
ambassadors of the less interested
powers that trouble is in sight. The
Moroccan delegates have become con-
scious of this and take satisfaction
therefrom.

FRANCE HESlTATES.
VIII Do Nothing in Venezuela without
Consulting Washington.

Paris, Jan. 20-The apparent hesita-
ton in Frances decision relative to
venezuela appears to be prompted by
the desire not to begin active measures
without first taking the advice of the
authorities at Washington. The Off
clals here agree that Frances action is
somewhat hampered owing to Venezue-
la's peculiar situation, the foreign
claims upon the customs being regard
ed as placing a blockade out of the
question. 1t is feared that if France
stopped commerce with the exterior,
President Castro would Immediately
seize this as a pretext for refusing to
comply with Nenezuela's obligations
towards other nations. 1t is admitted
that preparations are going on for re-
inforcing the French squadron but the
object of this step is still underlined
This much is regarded as certain:
Frances next move viii depend on the
result of NJ Jusserands conference at
