cases contrary to the sentiment Of the
members Of the Gas Protective associa-

During Judge Flannelly's term on

sions, and the only thing his opponents
have yet brought against him is the
famous gas ruling made last year, ana
which, by the way, was sustained by a

TAFT UNDECIDED.
Supreme Court Vacancy Siay Continue
Until October.

Washington, March 16.-Seoretary
Taft was in consultation with President
Roosevelt for sometime today. Presi-
dent Roosevelt later authorized the is
suance Of the following statement re-
garding the successorshtp of Justice
Brown in the supreme court of the Uni
ted States:
AS Mr.. Justice Brown win not retire
until June when the supreme court will
take vacation until the second Monday
in October and no public Inconvenience
can arise from a vacancy continuing
through the vacation the president will
take further time to decide the question
of Mr.. Browns successor. Several names
including that of Secretary Taft have
been under consideration, but no decis-
ion has been reached or is likely to be
reached or announced in the near fu-
ture.'
Secretary Taft went to the war de-
partment for a few moments before
the meeting of the cabinet. When he
was asked his intentions he directed his
inquirers to the statement issued from
the White House saying that that was
the expression of the presidents views
and that his (Taftss) lips were sealed.
All that he could say was that the
matter was indefinitely postponed.

OUT OF TOWN BIDDERS
They are Expected to Take Hand in
Paving Contracts.

A temporary setback will be given to
the letting of bids for brick paving
which is scheduled for the council meet
ing next Monday evening.
Owing to the opposition which has
been aroused to the letting of the con-
tracts for the paving due to q belief
that the decision of the supreme court
on Saturday affects the manner in which
the advertisements for the bids were
made, legal talent will be procured to
advise the council.
The city attorney does not believe
that the bids have been properly adver-
tised for, that the wording is not in ac-
cordance with the Interpretation of the
statutes. The mayor takes exception
to the city attorneys position. It is pos
sibIe that some legal advice in addition
to what the city attorney may have will
be called for.
Interest will be lent to the bidding by
the expected presence of out of town
bidders. The brick paving contracts
have almost invariably gone to Topeka
contractors using Topeka brick. The
Lawrence brick company is trying to
get IN this year on the contracts.
The bids entered will not be as low
this year as last when they got down
to 81 90 a yard. They VIII not be as
low as last year but don't care to say
how low they will get because it might
spoil my chance of getting in said John
Ritchie of Hanley & Ritchie, who will
enter a bid for some of the 33 blocks.
