steadily growing in Importance. 1t is
owned and controlled by Messrs. A. j..
May and W. X. Vermillion, who are de-

This is home enterprise, and With

TOPEKA, Kans, Jan. 29.-More
than $50 delegates, representing vari-

today in Representative hall in ac-
cordance with a call sent out from
here, to consider the proposition OF
celebrating the 50th anniversary OF
Kansas statehood by a large exposi-
ton in the year 1911. The plan has
been agitated for some time, but not
until lately have the citizens In gen.
eral shown any enthusiasm for 1t. The
outlines Of the plan are still rather
hazy, but it is expected That some
more definite suggestions will be made
in the course of the deliberations and
that it will be definite enough to form
the basis for a more definite program

Construction Of Milwaukee OF Be
Taken Up Soon.
FIRST Between SOUND AND MOUNTAINS
Construction Crews Are to be Placed
in the Field About the First
of the Month.

Construction crews are soon to be
placed in the field between Henton and
SnOqualmie pass to commence the
work of grading and laying ties for
the line of the Milwaukee road from
the western side of the pass, to Seattle,
says the Post-Intelligencer. The first
work will be from the southern city
limits to the east, where a portion of
the permanent survey has been COM
pleted.
1t is the intention of the Milwaukee
engineering department to change the
fourteen miles of the survey along the
Cedar river to run line a greater dis
lance back from the river, if such a
route can be secured on a favorable
basis. Instructions have been sent to
the surveying party now working in
this locality to make another prelim-
mary survey to ascertain if this can be
done.
1t is the plan of the Milwaukee tc
follow the permanent surveys with act
ual construction work as rapidly as it
is possible. Three tie camps have been
established between Renton and the
pass, under contract to cut sufficient
ties to build that portion of the new
road.
The line to the city from Renton
Junction will be On the east side of
the Interurban, unless the proposed
change along Cedar river should ne
cessitate a change in this plan.
1t is estimated by the engineering
department of the road that about for
ty days will be required to make the
final location of the line between the
southern city limits and the western
side Of the Snoqualmie pass.
1t is planned to place the first con-
struction crew in the field shortly after
the first of next month.

uals. On this basis it would be right
Tor you and l to steal from each other

1t is because of this false basis on
when gambling stands that the strik-
ing evils which result from it come.
They are cheating and suicide In
such circumstances a man may stand
On the pinnacle of honor one moment
and the next be hurled into the abyss

much for mis- integrity, and so we have
SO much cheating in gambling. Sui
eide Is another result. Statistics show

home and the support Of his wife and
children on a throw might be SO will

What is the remedy? There is lit
tie that seems practical for the law to
do, but there are one or two things
which might be done which would help
a great deal. The newspapers and
telegraph offices furnish the means by
which a great part of the gambling is
done in this country The first thing
to be done is to close them against
this business"

of the gambling carried on in this
country, according to Rev. William

Rev. Worthington, however, failed
to enlighten his audience how news

sponsible for a large part of the
gambling being carried on, except tc
refer in a general way to the publicity

The question was taken up from
the economic rather than the religious
side. Mr.. Worthington said that he

transferring of property by means OF
chance and cited several trite ex-
amples to prove this. In a game OF
cards at a party, he said, the winner
may be the best player, but the ele-

that of chance; no one can tell how
the cards will fall.
He took up the true economic way:

were really only two, by barter and by

To show the difference between
these methods of transferring property
and gambling, Mr.. Worthington citet

of whom had fish and the other camas

GETS A LIFE SENTENCE,
Roy Hull Makes Startling Statement
In Court,

MARSHALLTOWN, Iowa, Jan. 20.
IF it had not been for William Conn.
Dan Leary would be alive today"
After making this startling state
ment, Roy Hull, who confessed to the
murder of Daniel Leary at Tama on
the night of Nov. II last, was sem
fenced by Judge Burnham to life i'm
prisonment at hard labor at Anamosa.
HulPs statement caused a sensation
in court, as his confession, which had
just been read in court, stated that
no other person had a hand in the
crime. William Conn, who had been
indicted with Hull for the Leary crime
had only a few moments before been
discharged from custody and mis- case
dismissed on the ground that there
was no evidence against him. Judge
Burnham, in passing sentence, said
that while the crime seemed to have
been premeditated yet there appeared
to have been some outside influence
lndI PLEADED Tor mercy.
In his written confession made to
the public when the case against Conn
was dismissed, Hull says:
Il had been working at the paper
mill about year and a half. On the
Friday evening on which Leary was
killed, I left the mill by the south door
of the rotary room. Conn had gone
east through the rotary room. 1 went
around the south side of the mill and
turned north along the east side and
went On north along the west side of
the Touring mill. I picked up the shaft
ing as 1 went. 1 went on down the
mill road to the wagon bridge. At the
south side 1 met Carl Piler. I saw
Leary ahead of me all the time.
caught up to MIN close to the water
| tank. 1 hit him over the head and he
fell on mis- face 1 turned him over
and hit him again. 1 then ran
straight east and hid the iron. I went
right home, changed my clothes and
! went up town and to Conn's and told
MIN.
Nobody Saw Killing.
There was nobody with me at the
time killed Leary and nobody close
by that 1 saw"
The confession is signed by Hull
and witnessed by Deputy Auditor
| Shaw.
Probably no murder caused more
Of a sensation to central Iowa than
the killing of Leary. Leary was a fore
man in the big paper mill at Tama
and mis- murder seems to have been

unnecessarily harsh with them in their
work at the mill His body was found
a few minutes after ne was killed
William Conn, after the sheriff and
posse had searched for two days, gave
the clew that resulted in Hulps arrest
| Hull told where the weapon with
which Leary was killed was hidden
and later made a confession implicit
ing Conn. Conn was indicted with
Hull, but maintained his innocence
Hull pleaded guilty and a few days
later made the above statement exon
Grating Conn.
AS the latter was able to prove ar
| alibi it was decided to drop the charge
against MIN. In pleading for mercy
for young Hull, his attorney expressed
| the opinion that Conn was with HUI

| was killed was taken from the yard
