new SENATE ELEVATOR.
Work Commenced on Installation Of
Modern and Safe Conveyance.

A work vas started at the state house
today which will be hailed with JOY by
the Kansas legislators when they as
semble here, and particularly by those
Of senatorial proportions. A new ele-
vator OF the most modern Otis type Is
being installed in the shaft in the south
east corner Of the rotunda-
For a number of years past the ele-
vator in this shaft has been frowned
upon by everyone who was not fond OF
the salubrious exercise of walking up
several flights OF stairs to reach 1egisla-
tive and other levels It has been con-
sidered unsafe and was more than I'M
attractive after the new elevator had
been put in in the southwest corner and
Mnlcn runs up on the REPRESENTATIVE SIDE
OF the house. AS matter of fact
the east elevator only would run oc-
casionaily. when 1t took the notion, and
Il was out Of commission more than
half of the time during the session OF
the legislature two years ago, and at
the close of this session it has not
even earned storage room by making
@ single trip.
The new elevator in west corner had
to bear the brunt of the work all last
session in carrying the solOns to and
from places of heavy thought and light
work. This elevator really had more
work than it could do and it was par
ttcularly annoying to the majestfes of
the senate to be compelled to cross the
rotunda in order to go above and there
by lose lots of time in reaching their
destination, and perforce be compelled
to rub elbows with the humber herd
OF the house
But al ltnis Will be changed this year.
A most modem elevator is being in
stalled in the eastern shaft. which will
provide the convenience needed by the
senators and which will carry them
with safety and dignity to their realms
above.
There is no doubt about the old ele-
vator, which is being torn out, having
been dangerous vehicle of ascent and
descent "A few years ago it took a
persons. but luckily the brakes caught
before It reached the bottom, and no
one was seriously injured. On this

out of an open door passed on the way

in Topeka, in the supreme court room,
January 30 and 81, 1907.

Reports OF committees.
L. B. Kellogg has given much time
and study to probate matters, and I'M
der special invitation viii give an ex-
haustive report on the subject amount
ing almost to a complete revision of
probate practice and procedure.
The committee on revision of the code
of civil procedure headed by ex-Associ-
ate Justice s. H. Allen is a strong one
and the understanding is 1t will intro
duce complete printed revision of the
code.
The Judiciary committees from both
houses of the legislature, which will be
in full swing at that time. will be spec
tally invited to attend the sessions
when the codes are under considerati ton.

every prospective property owner in the

THEY DON'T LIKE II.
California Members Are DispIeased
With Presidents Message.

Washington. Dec. president
Roosevelt's discussion of the San
Francisco school situation in his mes
sage was received with great dissatis-
faction by the California delegation in
the house. The members of the dele
cation from that state are unanimous
in their declaration that no treaty
rights have been violated in excluding
japanese from public schools attended
by white children.
Representative Hayes said that if
any treaty of the United States pre-
vents California from running its
schools as it sees fit the treaty is
clearly unconstitutional and should
not stand.
A meeting of the California delega-
ton will soon be held to discuss the
San Francisco situation.
The suggestion in President Roose-
velts message that naturalization be
extended to japanese is extremely dis
tasteful to the California delegation in
the house.
