CONNER IS HEARD.
Speech championing Rate
Regulation Bill in Congress
GIVEN GENEROUS APPLAUSE
Supports Bill Not to Get Rid of 1t But
Because it is Meritorious and
Essential to Public Good

Hon. j. T. Conner has come for
ward as one of the champions of rate
regulation. While he did not burden
the records with lengthy speech 60
ing over ground already we'll covered,
he deemed it wise and proper to place
himself on record not only by his vote,
but by his voice. The limited re-
ports now at hand tell us that Judge
Conner's speech was heartily ap-
plauded and exceedingly we'll received.
Judge Conner has at all times been
an ardent and consistent supporter of
the Presidents policy and the people
have known at all times that they
could rely ON him. Perhaps the best
of Judge Conner's speech was the
manly statement that he Supported
the rate law. not to get rid of it, or
to send it to the Senate in the hope
that destructive surgical operation
would there be performed, but because
he believed the legislation meritorious
and essential to the public good
Below we give the brief press report
of Judge Corners speech.
Judge Conner spoke fifteen min
utes and was accorded generous APP
plause. He declared that he deplored
the fact that the gentlemen from the
east opposed to the measure had in
dulged in the criticism that those
from the middle west had been coerced
into its support by fanatical public
sentiment and that others had charged
that certain eastern congressman
were under the influence of Wall
street.
He was surprised to find men on
the democratic side claiming that all
the virtue in the bill originated on
that side. Judge Conner said he was
willing to concede that the democrats
in convention had passed resolutions
and adopted platforms favoring good
measures, but in spite of this the
party had failed to win the confidence
of the people who preferred to support
the republican party which, if it did
not adopt platforms favoring these
things, did enact them into law.
Judge Confer suggested that if the
democrats wished to ascertain thei,
record on these questions they might
recall the resolutions adopted severa
years ago to investigate the trus
question. They found trusts existed
and were forming and were a menace
to the prosperity Of the country, bu
the party then in control of congress!
did nothing and finally reported the,
could not handle the question and re
ferred it to the next congress, which
they knew was to be republican.
This congress promptly enacted tn
Sherman antitrust law, under whicl
trusts were prosecuted.
Judge Conner said he supported tn
rate law not to get rid of it or to sen
it to the senate in the hope that de
structiye surgical operation woul
there be performed, but because
believed the legislation meritoriou
and essential to the public good. y

STUCK ON DURHAM
Burglars in Broadway Grocery
Swipe Bull Durham
THE CHEWING GUM FAVORED
Burglars Enter on Saturday Night and
Help Themselves to EatabIes,
Chewing Gum and To-
bacco.

Buglars effected an entrance to the
Broadway grocery last Saturday night,
making their way through the coal
shute. Three cents We're taken from
the cash register and an attempt was
evidently made to pry open the safe.
Failing in this, the tobacco case was
rifled of about two dozen sacks Of Bull
Durham smoking tobacco and some
chewing tobacco, chewing gum, can
dies, sardines, candied pineapple and
other things were either taken or
eaten on the spot, but the total dam
age will not exceed a few dollars.
The night telephone opeartor says she
heard people in the store but sup
posed, as it was not very late that it
was Manager Terry or some one con-
nected with the store. She further
states that she heard them leave when
the fire alarm sounded. A large por-
ton Of the articles were undoubtedly
found at the Conner residence when
the two buns camping there were ar
rested, but as they were staples with
out any private cost mark. Mr.. Terry
is unable to identify them positively
as yet. Mr.. Terry got off very luckily
but it is evident that the capture at
the Conner home served to break up a
bad gang and it is more than fortu-
nate that the men were arrested be.

THE woMANs CLUB BANQUET

I On Saturday night the Carnegie
club room was the scene of brilliant
gathering to celebrate the birthday of
The Womans club. The club members
had their husbands to help celebrate and
they seemed to enjoy being included.
A number of new gowns did honor to
the event and the club room itself
was Respondent in the club colors,
yellow and white with dark red carna-
lions to give tone to the more delicate
colorings. 1t was almost Z O'Clock
when the guests went into the club
room to the music of march played
by Miss Hazel Laub. The tables
were most attractive in their fine ar
ray of cut glass, silver and dainty
center pieces, of yellow. The name
cards We're written in yellow and tied
in dainty bows of the same. The
four course banquet was very fine.
the menu committee had planned and
carried into effect substantial and Ella
borate dinner. The serving was also
very we'll done. During the dinner
the talented daughters of the club
gave musical selections that were much
enjoyed. Toasts were dispensed with,
so all the guests could give their en-
tire attention and enjoyment to the
evening without any misgivings as to
their part later.
After the banquet very nice pro-
gram was given. Miss Hazel Nash
and Miss Junia Roman sang, Hazel
Laub played and Miss Helen Burch
and Clara SERVER gave readings.
Then looking as though she stepped
out of colonial novel or an old min
iature came Gertrude Roman en-
costume and gave a delightful reading
Of "When Grandma Danced the
Minuet. Gertrude's costume and
makeup was delightfully."- quaint and
her singing and posing fine. Helen
Burch's selection was also too true and
was very we'll given. Clara SERVER s
selection was wonderfully clever, be-
ing one Of Stephen Cranes Whilom-
willie stories and the woes of Jimmy
Prescott were aptly told by Miss
SERVER who should have entered the
contest.
At the close of the daughters pro-
gram Mrs. j. B. Romans gave some
readings which We're all that Deni-
son audience has learned to expect Of
her. Mrs. Romans readings are so
original and whimsical with every bit
of humor and fun given, that people
always clamor for more.
The social visit followed the pro-
gram and the good bys were regret
fully said. The guests Of the club
were Rev. and Mrs. Thuresson, Mr..
and Mrs. U. G. johnson, Mr. and
Mrs. Kemming, Miss Davis, Miss
Bryce and Miss Meyers.
4 Miss Blossom Fegtley Of Modale
Iowa, was the guest of her aunt, Mrs
Plimpton.

pears that when matters are finally set
tied tina he will have nothing to show
for his farm excepting a bundle which
may aptIy be labeled experience.
When Tan, the man who purchased the
business from C.. A. Wilson, was on the
stand before the committee he admitted
that he is execution proof and hasno prOp-
erty either personal or real save the land
business which he purchased from wilson
and for which Wilson holds his note for
$1,000 unsecured. The committee feels
that Taft is merely an employe OF the
Wilson's and has been used to cover up
their transactions when the government
camped too closely on their trail.
The committee claims that the report is
mild when the testimony of the witnesses
who have come in by the score to tell
their stories Of their experiences with
the Wilson's, is considered The
banks of the city have been
annoyed for months by letters from
almost every state in the union asking
as to the reliability of the Wilson's and
Taft as it seems that Taft at any rate is
using them as reference Without their
authority.
The report of the committee will be
read at the Monday morning session of
the district court and action taken at
once looking to the disbarment of at least
a portion of the Wilson's who have been
implicated in the land and collection bus
mess in Topeka for the past two years
The matter of Clement L. Wilson will not
be considered at that time as it is before
the Thomas county court where disbar~
ment proceedings are in progress.

from the first as the incorporators had
wished that it should, and recently the
claims Of it's creditors have become SO
annoying tina the receiver has been
asked for by members of the company.
The company is indebted to Spangler

other outstanding debts which bring
the total liabilities to something like

RATIIBoNE's UPHILL BATTLE.
Makes a Long. Hard Fight t o Get Ser
vice on Defendants.

David Rathbone. of Hays City. one Of
the oldest lawyers of the state, came to
Topeka today to try to s~traighten out
before the Kansas supreme court one Of
the most peculiar legal tangles in the his
tory of the court.
Mr. Rathbone is attorney for one David
Kennedy in a suit against Charles Gibson.
Lee Monroe Of Topeka and w. E. Saum
of Hays are attorneys for Gibson.
The trouble all comes because Rath-
bone has been unable to get service on
the other parties to the suit. He sent up
to the supreme court for the necessary
papers. when he filed his case, but partly
because of his writing. which was rather
poor, there was a misunderstanding, and
the papers were not sent promptly. By
the time they arrived. the parties for
whom they were intended had moved to
Kansas City.
The Kansas City officers were put on
the trail of the persons and finally re-
turned the papers with the statement that
they were unable to find the parties
designated.
Then Rathbone set about getting SER
vice on Lee Monroe, one of the attorneys
for the missing party. He again asked
the supreme court to issue the paper

WONDERFUL PYGAfY.

The recent exhibition at the New

pygmy confined in the same cage with
an orang-outang resulted in a good
deal of i'll feeling and criticism on the
part of c~haritably disposed persons.

negro pastor declared in his pulpit
that it was an attempt on the part of
the directors of the animal exhibit to
show a close relationship between the
negro and the simian. In the end the
opposition to the display became SO
strong that he ygmy was withdrawn
from public view.
The subject of all the discussion. Ota
Benga by name, did not seem to be at
all concerned over the efforts for his
release. On the contrary, he appeared
to be supremely happy, putting in
most of his time while on exhibition
in weaving baskets and nets, which he
does most skillfully. He has never
shown the slightest distaste for the
close eompanionship Of the orang-
outang. which is an exceedingly pre-
possessing simian with no race preju-
dices.
