COLEMAN TOO HARSH.
Labor Commissioner johnson Dis
cusses the Ireland BTandamus.

State Labor Commissioner johnson
thinks that the action of Attorney Gen
eral Coleman in bringing custer pro-
ceedings against the sheriff of Convey
county for allowing Arthur E. ireland,
the labor leader, too much liberty, was
too hasty and severe He said today;
Il don't know about the truth Of the
charges, but 1t certainly seems to me
that q better way would have been to
notify the sheriff that such charges
were made, and give him a chance to
change his method of holding Mr.. Ire
land, If it was not what it should have
been. have supposed that it was left
largely to the discretion Of the sheriff
how much discretion should be allow
ed to prisoners left in his charge. Every
jail has its TRUSTEES, and they are al
lowed more liberties than the other pris-
oners. expect that the sheriff thought
that the condition Of Mr.. Irelands 5
shine and fresh air It Is a notorious
fact that the Cowley county jail is an
unhealthy and uusanitary place Ire
land is not the kind OF a man TO abuse
privileges of this kind
what I would like to know is who
inspired these charges against ireland.
That may shed some light on the sit
uation."
1t is reported that an attorney for the
Santa Fe railroad. which had backed
the prosecution of Ireland throughout
visited the attorney generals office and
made complaint about the conduct of
the sheriff
Governor Hoch says that he did not
know the prosecution was to be
brought.

REJECTED BY DIRECTORS.
Action of Self-Constituted Attorney
for Defunct Bank.

Chicago, Aug. 16.-The directors of
the Milwaukee Avenue State bank
have repudiated the Chicago Title and
Trust company as receiver and have
taken action to have Judge Gibbons
appointment of the company to take
charge of the banks assets set aside
AS illegal John Wage, law partner
OF Theodore Stensland and self-consti-
tuted attorney for the bank in the pro-
ceedings in which Judge Gibbons APP
pointed the Title and Trust company
as a rival receiver, was denounced
and rejected by the directors. 1t was
declared that he had not the slightest
authority to confess judgment In the
suit of T. r. Eide against the bank,
which suit was made the basis of the
receivership proceedings. All the di-
rectors except the two Stenslands
were present at the meeting and SEN
timent was unanimous in favor of sup
porting Receiver John c. Fetzer.
While the meeting of the directors
was In progress the attorneys for both
receivers gathered In Judge Gibbons
court. There had been misunder-
standing, however, and when court
convened 1t was discovered that no
bill or motion had been filed by either
receiver and that, therefore, the court
had nothing to pass upon.

Emperor William and Prince and
Princess Frederick Charles of Hesse,

in alighting and then they kissed each
other on both cheeks. The meeting
was very cordial.
After introductions had been ex.
changed the royal party and their fol-
lowing proceeded to Friedrichshof in
automobiles, the emperor, King Ed.
ward and Prince and Princess Fred
erick Charles occupying the first ma
chine. The streets were profusely
decorated with evergreens, flags and
streamers. The sovereigns were
heartily cheered by the crowds and
school children, who were lined up all
along the route. Many Englishmen
from surrounding watering places were
also present
After reaching Friedrichshof the
royal party breakfasted and then the
emperor and king spent some time
together and later went sightseeing.
A programme of assiduous sightseeing
and drives has created the impression
among those surrounding their majes-
ties that they wish to avoid prolonged
political discussions.

GREAT INTEREST SHOWN IN CON-
FERENCE BETWEEN KING
EDWARD AND KAISER.
1RlTON'S RULER On GERMAN SOIL
MEETING OF THE TWO SOVER.
EiGNS MARKED BY WARM
EST CORDlALITY.

London Aug 16.-The strictest
silence is maintained In official circles
as to the subjects to be discussed by
Kng Edward and Emperor William at
their meeting at Friedrichshof. Up to
the last moment it was not admitted
at the foreign Office that Sir Charles
Hardinge would accompany the king.
He had been away on holiday and
broke it to join the royal party on the
Continent. His presence adds sig
nifcance to the meeting, for as per
manent under secretary of the foreign
office he is really the man who carries
on the foreign affairs of the country
and the fact that he is attending King
Edward leads to the belief here that
the discussion between their majes-
lies will be of the widest range, taking
In all questions outstanding between
the two countries and those likely to
come up in the future. Germany at
present is more directly interested in
Persia than any other country and it
Is believed here that her aim is to
secure a port on the Persian gulf as
a terminus for the Bagdad railway.
Great Britain" said an official,
does not oppose the acquisition by
Germany of a commercial port on the
Persian gulf, but as has been stated
repeatedly by foreign ministers the
aSta abliShment of a military or naval
base on the gulf, such as Kiaochau in
China, would be considered a menace
to Great Rritaip ~

At ee.62 CENTS PER OUNCE
Government Purchases Fifty Thousand
Ounces of Silver.

Washington, Aug. 16.-Pursuant to
the announcement of the secretary of
the treasury that he desired to receive
tenders of silver four bids We're made
to Director Roberts of the mint. The
bids were opened and after being sub
mitted to Secretary Shaw 1t was an
nounced that the government had
purchased $4,000 ounces Of silver. 993
fine, at 66.62 cents per ounce.
1t Is not the custom OF the treasury
to announce the name of the individ-
ual or corporation through which the
silver is obtained and hence no name
of the successful bidder can be given.
II is the expectation that the govern
ment will require from $4,000 to l0O.-
900 ounces of silver per week for an
indefinite length of time. 1t is the
purpose, therefore. Of Secretary Shaw
and Director Roberts to receive bids
on Wednesday OF each week hereafter
until further notice.

It is strange that the very traits

likes which give birth to. love should
in the end be the means of its death
and funeral. The young artists did
not dream of the truth of these things.
How could the art from which love
sprang be it's murderer? Neither did
they reck of the future when they
became engaged. Was there not the
magic of love in their brushes? Were
they not bOhemians enough to face
the future with light hearts? Could
they not paint the fearful eyes away
from the face of sorrow, and put the
cap and bells on the picture of pow
erty? On these fundamental beliefs
they were married. 1
Nichols, like his wife, was a fine
painter. They lived an ideal life in
their studio. They painted together,
talked together, planned together, Hv-
ing and dreaming for each other.
