MUST BE MADE SAFE.
Chief WiImarth Talks About Construc.
ton Of New Theater.

Every new theater that is built in
Topeka and every theater that is re-
constructed should have its parquet
built on the ground floor and all con-
struction of theaters must be as nearly
fireproof as it is practicable to make
them IS the edict which Fire Chief
G. o. Wilmarth issued this morning.
Everyone knows that it is a great
deal safer to construct the parquet on
the first floor than on the second; it is
a great deal harder for the audience
to make its way out from second floor
entrances than from exits which lead
right out onto the sidewalk" con-
tinued Chief Wilmarth.
A second examination of the stand
ing walls of the Crawford theater will
be made later IN the day by Chief
Wilmarth. The examination will be
conducted with an idea of ascertaining
If there is any danger of collapse.
though an examination made Monday
after the fire esta blished the belief that
there is none. The wall, however,
may have settled since.
Il don't know what Mr.. Crawford s
purpose may be with regard to re-
building the Crawford said Wilmarth.
Il don't think anyone knows for GER
tain except Mr.. Crawford himself as to
what his purpose may be. For that
reason am not going to give out any
statements regarding the risk if any
Of using the walls in rebuilding. It is
possible that Mr.. Crawford does not
intend to use the walls at all. Until
I learn what the intention is I won
do anything. Plenty time to cross the
bridge when you get there.

PALMES LETTER.
Cuban President Declines Peace Terms
offered Him.

Havana. Sept. 26.-The following is
the text of President PaIma's letter of
yesterday to the American peace COM
missioners Secretary Taft and Assist
ant Secretary of State Bacon, an
nouncing that he intends to resign the
presidency and refusing the peace
terms offered to him:
Honorable Sirs: I have the honor
to acknowledge the receipt of your
note of yesterday, the oath, in which
you express in a general way your
opinions and points of view. according
to your own personal investigation of
the cause of the present rebellion in
Cuba. its state and the means to finish
order and public quiet in the country.
prove them to your estimate of the
numbers of the armed insurgents and
the sympathy to which you consider
them entitled. But it is useless now to
enter upon a discussion of this kind, in
view Of the course you have adopted
and your resolution to make peace by
all means.
1T is therefore my only purpose IN
eourteously replying to your note, to re-
peat here in brief what 1 expressed in
the conference you kindly had with me
last night, namely that I consider the
conditions you understand to be neces-
arms contrary to my personal dignity
over which I preside, and that I have
accoI dinghy taken the irrevocable decis
ion to present to congress my resigna-
ton to the Office to which I was ap
pointed by the will of the Cuban people
at the last presidential election

at Kansas City. Kan, SO that cattle
shipments may be made to that point,
and not to Kansas City, No. thus
avoiding the interstate commerce pro-
position which IS now involved
The petition for dismissal, fled this
afternoon, after setting forth that the
attorneys believe that both cattle rare
cases involve an interstate commerce
proposition, because of the fact that
there is no station at Kansas City,
kan, to which cattle are shipped, and
that therefore they are beyond the jur-
isdiction Of the Kansas commission.

GRAFTON, conceive their remedy to lie first
In the esta blishment by this commission
or by legislative enactment of suitable
stations at Kansas City. in Kansas as
the destination and for the unloading
and delivery of live stock consigned
thereto from points in Kansas, which
are here to be unloaded, and also the
esta blishnent by the railroads of scned-
ules of reasonable rates applicable to
such shipments.
When these requirements are made,
we think there can be no doubt that this
commission is authorized TO regulate the
rates and service for shipments there
under
1T is with the view of avoiding com
pIications thus arising and with the
view of proceeding to secure the esrab-
lfshment of such delivering stations at
Kansas City, Kansas, and schedules of
reasonable rates thereto, that com
plainants deem 1t necessary to enter a
dismissal of these proceedings"
