for the state in the KanSaS-COlOrado
suit, the bill was passed by vote of 81
to 81. When the roll call had ended it
wos found that the bill lacked 10 votes
of having the majority necessary for its
passage. A call of the house was i'm
mediately made and wild skirmish en-
sued in which the friends of the bill
endeavored to muster the strength for
its passage.
Speeches were made pro and con,
the lawyer members almost to a man
taking the stand that the fees of the
attorneys engaged in the case were
reasonable and Bird of Shawnee was
sure that they were cheating them
selves in Offering to accept so mental
g. fee for their work. Davis of Bour-
bon county started fight on the bill
by his contention that the appropria-
ton made by the legislature two years
ago should be sufficient for attorney

in which the fees are claimed. He
was supported in his argument by
Foley of Rice and Edwards of Green

matter.

The Democrats lined UP almost
solidly against the bill and their ranks
were strengthened by the vote of a
number of Republicans who looked at
the bill from their view point and
voted with them on roll call. When
the campaign for the ten votes neces-
sary for the passage of the bill began
the Democrats were besieged and
threatened but they stood their ground
and most of the recruits came from
the ranks of the Republicans who had
wandered from the reservation When

OPEN OLD TRUNK
 FOUND IN ASHES
A COLLECTION OF PICTURES OF WELL KNOWN SOUTHERN MEN UNEARTHED IN AN OLD NORTH SIDE DEN RECENTLY BURNED.

When the police officers began poking through the ashes of the old den of thieves which was destroyed by fire the other day on the north side, they found in an old trunk a whole collection of pictures containing the likenesses of some of the prominent men of the south.
 That such should be found in an old negro house is considered remarkab ble, and that Detective Patton should imme- diately recognize them as stolen from the home of his brother, J. II. Patton, a great number of years ago, was also sin gular The attic of the building was packed with all kinds of loot--things of no use to a negro-which the burglars, as they came and went, left in the attic as from this same curio gallery filled with pictures, wall paper, tools and dress suit hats, that Bud Harris was hauled to the gallows seventeen years ago.
 Among the pictures were those of John D. Richardson. first lieutenant of the governors staff at New Orleans, and one of the most prominent wholesale men in the south. Another pictured B. M. Starks, the superintendent of the Louisville and Nashville railroad while several well known doctors and ladies of the south land were among the collection.
 They were opened in the police head quarters yesterday afternoon, when one at time some officer would recognize them. The department considers it quite lucky that the old place is destroyed.

Taft Stops In Caquas.

Caguas, P. R., April 16.-Secretary Taft and his party stopped here this morning on their way from San Juan to Ponce. The city was decorated with American and Spanish flags, and large crowd of people from the surrounding country gave the Secretary a cordial greeting. The alcalde in his address of welcome did not refer to the citizenship question. MT. Taft in his reply felicitated the people on the prosperous condition of the coun- try and praised Governor Winthrops ad- ministration. Caguas is the most impor- tant inland city and it's inhabitants have been most persistent in their demands for American citizenship. MT. Taft did not dwell on the question at this place where President Roosevelt spoke strongly in favor of it.

 He gave those who had been reluctant about paying their licenses a sound rak- ing over and impressed upon them the fact that the city is ready to fight to the last ditch.
 < It will be remembered that great number of the dairymen refused to pay their licenses on the first of the year, and several weeks ago warrants were sworn out for them. After Policeman Cole had served about fifteen of them the dairymen began to drop in and pay their licenses, and then expected the cases moi pressed, but they had gone too Tar ana
