THIS IS THE HIGH RECORD.
Town of Vesper, Lincoln County. Gives
Ss.65 Per Capita to California.

The little town of Vesper in Lincoln
county is entitled to the palm for gen
erosity and devotion to a worthy cause
as it probably donated more money to
the suffering citizens of California per
capita than any town or city in The
United States.
The city directory which is kept On
the front page of a sheet of common
letter paper shows that the population
amounts to sixty-three people. including
little, big and Indifferent, and yet their
donation received this morning by. Gov
ernor Hoch shows that they have sub
scribed $236.75 or an average donation
of 1855 for every man. woman or child
in the little community.
If the state had donated as literally
as has this community Kansas contri-
button to the California relief fund
would have amounted to S., 400. 900, and
If the same ratio had been maintained
throughout the United States the fund
for the relief of the distressed in the
state of California would have amount
ed to S2S0, ,000. 900, or more than enough
to restore the city of San Francisco to
her position of former greatness and
beauty.
The contribution comes from a town
which does not boast of its wealth nor
of its generosity, but a community of
representative Kansans. loyal to their
town and state. and ever ready to deny
themselves, if necessary, to aid the af-
ficted and distressed.

STILL CONTRIBUTING.
Relief Committee Busy Checking Up
Kansas Donations.

There was nothing doing at the
headquarters of the relief committee
at the governors Office this morning
save the checking and entering of The
amounts which are coming in as con-
tributions from over the state and this
in itself is no small task.
There will be no more meetings Of
the state committee consisting Of
tWenty-one at any set time and if an
emergency arises which makes it seem
necessary that there shall be a meet
ing, the committee will be notified by
telephone.
Il cannot see that there is much of
a decrease in the donations which are
continuing to come in, said Governor
HOch, chairman of the state relief
fund committee, this morning. EVERY
mail brings in checks and money and
sent to Governor Pardee and the in
dications are that the relief fund will
continue to grow steadily for some
time yet. I have a record of about
seventy-five carloads of supplies which
have been shipped from various parts
of the state and it is safe to say that
before Kansas ceases to send aid she
Will have at least one hundred cars to
her credit.
while most of the supplies which
have been shipped consisted of -four
and potatoes there have been several
carloads of meat sent from the state
as well as an immense amount of
clothing. The little town of Severance
with population of about three hun
dred and seventy-five people notified
me this morning that they have ship
ped a carload of -four.
The report of Treasurer J. R. Null
vane of the state relief fund shows
that $20,234.5S has been received re-
ceived by him for the California suf-
ferers. Most of this sum has beer. ex-
pended for clothing and foodstuff
which has already been shipped. Con-
tributions still continue and the earlier
mails today brought in between S1,40O
and $500.
No report has been made by Secre-
tary Lerrigo of the city relief fund
who is busy at work on his books pre-
pairing for his final settlement with
Mr.. Mulvane as treasurer for all Of the
funds collected

President Roosevelt Refuses to
Discuss Kansas Coal Strike.
". c. Perry Fails to Secure
Interview.
HEAR BOTH THE SIDES.
Would Not Consent to Listen to
Operators Alone.
Mr.. Campbell Trying Hard to
Adjust Matters.

Washington. April 2s.-President
Roosevelt will not intervene in the
southwestern coal situation, involving
Kansas and Indian Territory fields. on
the application of one side alone.
W. c Perry, formerly of Fort Scott.
and district attorney of Kansas under
President Cleveland. who is now presi-
dent of the Southwestern Interstate
Coal Operators association, Kansas
City, has been endeavoring to secure
through Senators Long and Warner an
interview with the president in order to
lay before him the operators side Of
the controversy. Senator Long called
on the president this morning and the
president told him an interview with
Perry would not accomplish the result
desired. He further stated he could
only dip into the present coal situation
at the joint request of the operators
and workers.
The Kansas delegation appreciates
the coal situation and would like to do
something if possible 10 relieve it. This
is especially true of Campbell. whose
district comprises the great coal mines
OF Kansas. this being principally true
of Crawford, his home county. He also
has been trying to get president inter-
ested, but with same result. Ii is
doubtful if Mr. Perry viii now come to
Washington as intended to present case.
w h Mackey, Jr., United States
marshal, is in Washington with insane
prisoner from the federal peniten-
tiary at Fort Leavenworth. Mr.. Mac
key made extended calls on Calder
head and Long.

COOLEY IS DISGUSTED.
Poor Showing of White sox Starts
Rumors of Shake Up.

Jack Henry, the White Sox catcher,
came home last night in advance of
the team. His sprained leg demanded
a rest, and Cooley sent him home for a
little vacation before the season opens.
Henry says that Cooley is rather dis
couraged with the showing of Topeka
against Omaha and Des Moines, and
that there will probably be a shake-up
in the team after it gets home. If
necessary, Cooley says, he will go into
the outheld himself and get some one
else for the first sack. The suburban
ties are evidently not batting hard
enough to suit Sir Richard.
Henry could not say just what is in
Cooley's mind, but says that the man
ager-captain hints at reorganization.
rejuvenation, and a few other things
for the purpose of bracing up the team
Of which he a short time ago expected
SO much.

RELIEF SHIP NEAR END.
Buchanan Loaded With Provisions
Nearly swamped by Tidal Wave

San Francisco. April 26.-The steam
er Buckman of the Alaska Pacific line,
in command of Captain E B. Wood,
arrived here late last night with volun-
a cargo of 200 tons of provisions and
supplies for the homeless people of this
city. The vessel made a record run
from Seattle, but encountered a terrific
sea off Cape Blanco, which crew and
passengers believe was caused by sub
terrean earthquakes and which for a
time threatened to engulf the staunch
ship on its errand Of mercy
Off Cape Blanco yesterday the Buck
man ran into rough water and high
seas. Off to the west passengers and
crew saw a great wall, like huge tide
of seethfng. boiling water, running
mountain high. approaching at great
speed. 1t struck the ship with terrific
force, smashed two Of the boats as if
they We're mere eggShells and tons of
water rolled over the decks of the steam
er, which quivered from stem to stern,
and threatened every moment to foun-
der it. Captain Wood, his first officer
and the chief engineer were swept from
their feet. It was little short of
miracle that they were not washed
overheard. The wall of water had all
the appearance of a huge tidal wave
and the seas continued running high
until late in the afternoon. Captain
Wood and the passengers are of the
opinion that it was caused by some dis
turbance under the sea.
The Buekman was sent to San Fran
cisco by the chambers of commtrce of
Seattle and Tacoma to carry relief to
this stricken city. A large sum of
money was raised by the two neighbor-
ing cities and no ship was ever loaded
and put out of Pacific coast port in
SO short a time as was the Buckman.
The vessel sailed from Seattle Sunday
night and made fast last night to the
government transport docks where

While the convention was supposed
