KANSAS TREASURY
 IS SHORT $7S,OOO
GOV. HocH DECLINES TO DIS CUsS WHAT ACTION HE WILL TAKE TO RECOVER MONEY FOR THE STATE.

Topeka, Kan January 16.-A total shortage in the Kansas state treasury of about $7s,oOO is shown by the report of Accountant Morris in the treasury examination just closed, according to a summary of the report prepared by Gov ernor w. k. Hoch and made public late this afternoon. The report covers all the transactions made by the state treas urers from January 1, 1898. to June S0 1905, including the two full terms of for mer State Treasurer Frank Grimes, and one term and six months of the adminis- tration of Thomas T. Kelly, the present state treasurer.
 The larger part of the shortage appears in the accounts of the office during the Grimes administration. Of the total of $7S,0OO s60,0dO is due to missing coupons from bonds owned by the state school fund, and s1s,O00 is due to loss of in- terest on warrants issued by the territory of Oklahoma to the state of Kansas.
 Governor Hoch declined tonight to dis cuss any action that he might take with regard to the results of the investiga- ton.

STEREOTYPERS JOIN
 PRINTERS STRIKE
Union Claims That This Step Will Hasten Climax of the Pres
 ent Fight.

New York, January 16.-A new move was made in the job printers strike in this city today when the stereotypers and electrotypers were ordered by the union officials not to make any plates from nom union set type. In accordance with these instructions, the electrotypers employed in five of the big printing concerns of the city who had adopted the "open shop principle, went on strike.
 The officers of Typographical Union No. 6. which is fighting for the eight-hour day and the closed shop. declare that the strike of the electrotypers and stereo- typers in the big concerns will hasten the climax of the fight.
 The Typothetae issued statement to- night in which 1t declares that 190 non union stereotypers have applied for posi- tlons at the high salaries paid in this city. The Typothetae declare the new strike will cause no inconvenience.
 The American Bible house. an inde- pendent concern, tonight signed the printers agreement for the eight-hour day.

EIGHT HOUR DAY
 IS GREAT HANDICAP
Stevens Says Law Must Not Apply to Panama Zone if Work Is to
 Be Done Rapidly.

Washington. January 16.-Chief En- gineer Stevens. in charge of construction of the Panama canal was before the Senate committee on inter-oceanic canals throughout today. He gave much im- portant testimony in regard to the labor conditions, declaring that the acts mak- ing the eight-hour and the Chinese ex- clusion laws applicable to the canal zone must be repealed If the situation is to be met economically and the canal built within a reasonable time.
 The minority report of the consulting board of engineers regarding the type of canal was not received today, and there fore MT. Stevens will be recalled for ex- animation on this subject before he sails for the isthmus. The committee will meet tomorrow to take up the nomination of canal commissioners, but there Is said to be little chance of an agreement be- ing reached at this meeting

MER|WE ETHER'S CASE !.
 IS MORE SERIOUS
Testimony duplicates Him in
 Four Hazing Escapades
RABBIT DANCE DESCRIBED
Several UndercIassmen Say They Did Not Mind Getting Hazed, as They Would Get Even When They
 Were UppercIassmen.

Annapolis, Md, January 16.-The evil dence of those whom Midshipman Minor Meriwether Jr., is accused of hazing was disposed of the objections offered by the counsel for the defense.
 Six mldshipmen of the fourth class connected Meriwether in some way with the hazlng and the testimony was posi- tive in four of these cases. There was corroborative testimony in several in- stances The prosecution closed its case and the defense examined some of its witnesses, but did not close today. Nearly all of the fourth class men said that they did not consider that the exercises which had been required of them were in the least humiliating; that they had enjoyed the fun and taken it as part of the natural order of things at the acad- emy. However, the judge advocate brought out the fact that they believed they would have incurred serious conse- quenees if they had not done what the upper classmen told them. As the "rab- bit dance" was a form of hazing with which the court had not had to deal be- IOIes mluSHlpHldn was dSheu 10 illustrate it, which he did.
 Fourth Classman Paul H. Rice had "done stunts" he said, in his own room, but was not sure that Meriwether had ordered him to do so, though he thought some one had called him Merry" He was not sure, he said, because he was not allowed to look at any upper class man.
 Mdshpman William G. Kilduff of the fourth class said without qualification that Merlwether had made him stand on his head and perform the sixteenth" and the rabbit dance' which he illus trated.

Welsh the smallest midshipman in the brigade, was next called He told the court that he did not mind being hazed because he expected to "get back at the new fourth class next year" He said that he had done the rabbit dance and the Sixteenth and stood on his head at the order of the accused.
 The last witness for the prosecution was Midshipman Harold c. Train. who said that Meriwether had fazed him three times the first day the victim had en- tered the academy He had been made to stand on his head about twenty times on each occasion and to do the ''sixteenth' about the same number of times.
 Lieutenant Commander James K Rob inson, who was Meriwether's counsel when he was courtmartialed for causing the death of Branch, told of several in stances of Meriwethers honorable con duct during that trial in refusing to tell of things that might have injured the memory of the dead youth, even though they would have helped Meriwether.

Improvements for Alabama River.

The secretary of war today transmitted to Congress the report of Capt. James B. Cavanaugh on the proposition of a four-foot channel in the Alabama river from the mouth to Montgomery and from Montgomery to Wetumpka- Captain Cav anaugh says the commerce effected by the improvement will be suffcinet to warrant the expenditure; that the im- provement of the river from the mouth to Montgomery is worthy of being un- dertaken, but he does not recommend the improvement from Montgomery to Wetumpka- The officer estimates that 1t will require s65O000 to improve the river from the mouth to Montgomery with a four-foot channel. The chief engineers concur in his recommendations and 1t Is likely that the. next rivers and har- bors bill will carry an appropriation.
