MAYOR R0SETO TESTIFY
Wonders Why Governor Hoch Is So
Particular About Prohibition.

Kansas City, Kas.,- Jan. 16.-Mayor w
w. Rose. and his attorneys, it is charged,
are planning to delay the final determi-
nation of the custer suit now pending
against Mayor Rose in the Kansas su-
preme court until after the mayors term
of office expires in April, 1907. G. F.
EIutchingS, attorney for Mayor Rose in
the custer suit, said that in the event
the Kansas supreme court decided to
GUST Mayor Rose the case will be ap-
pealed to the United States supreme
court. Should that be DONE. he said, it
will probably take two years or more to
finally decide the case as to whether the
mayor shall be OuSted He will have al
ready served out his present term of
office and will have been a candidate
again for the same office.
THE United States supreme court has
enough cases now before it to occupy its
time for probably two years said Mr..
Hutchings. "Of course, this means that
it Will be two years or more before we
can hope to reach a final determination
of the question OF whether Mayor Rose
shall be Ousted."
Mayor Roses term of office will expire
in April, 1907 He is already making his
campaign plans to again become candl-
date for mayor, so his friends say, and is
confident that he will not be OuSted be-
fore his present term of office expires
Mayor Rose has been subpoenaed to ap-
pear as a witness against himself We'd
nesday. before H. G. Larimer, special
commissioner to take the testimony for
the supreme court in the custer suit now
pending against the mayor.
y es, am going to testify in the custer
suit against myself Wednesday, said
Mayor Rose. THAT is to say, 1 do not
know whether the testimony 1 give will
be for me or for the people. am going
to tell all I know. The attorney general
is trying to prove that I pass by a joint
on Sixth street every time I go to and
from the city hall. I am going to admit
that I pass by that joint. The attorney
general is also attempting to prove that
I knew the joints were running. I have
not been in a joint since I was elected
to the office of mayor, but I have been
aware, that the same system of collecting
revenue from saloons was continued IN
der my administration as had for so long
existed in the past.
Isn't this prohibition law the biggest
farce that was ever placed on the statute
books? Here is provides a penalty for d
man selling a drink. but doesn't provide
a penalty for tbs man who drinks it.
IF Governor HOch is sincere in his
efforts to enforce the law why does he
stop with the prohibition law. and why
doesn't he go farther and enforce other
laws? In practically every county in the
state there are gross violations of the
state tax laws The tax laws are of more
vital Importance than the question of
whether man shall or shall not sell a
drink. IF we are going into this law en-
forcenent business let US be on the
square and enforce them all

He has had conference with several
members of the senate committee on in

advance copy of the report, furnished by
the president for use in examining Chief
Engineer Stevens, when he appears be-
fore the committee at the opening of
the investigation made by the senate.
rms report contains the views. of the
consulting board, as expressed before
the foreign members left this country
together with the amendments that have
Deen made since and to which General
DAVIS Is now getting their Endorsements
The message of the president win IA
NOF the construction of a lock canal. on
the ground that it is in the interest of
the present generation and not for DOS
terlty. and that it can be built at less
cost OF time and money. It is said that
the president incidentally asked the Re
publican members of the committee to.
support the nomination of Joseph 81
BISHOP TO be member of the canal
commission, and to use every effort TO
prevent indiscriminate reductions of the
salaries of canal officials, which he fears
may be the result of the investigation.
