CURTIS TO BE SENATOR.
Succeeds to Toga Formerly Held by
Burton.

Burton.
Topeka, Jan. 12.-Charles Curtis.
who began life as race horse joe
key, then drove a hack for a livelihood,
educated himself for the bar, became
county attorney, then congressman,
will be the new United States senator
from Kansas.
The republican legislative caucus
gave him the nomination last night and
the caucus dictum is equivalent to
election.
Thus Curtis steps into line of the
fatal Lane succession He takes the
seat temporarily occupied by Benson
after it had been vacated by Burton,
when the latter was forced to resign
his seat in the United States senate
in order to begin term of imprison-
men in the federal penitentiary.
William Allen White the pugnaclous
editor of the Emporia Gazette, Will
learn of the triumph of Curtis with
pang of regret Between White and
Curtis there has long existed bitter
political feud White has accused Cur
tbs of being identified with railroads
and corporation interests, and has
fought him accordingly. And yet Cur
tbs has thrived politically in spite of
all opposition. He is now serving his
seventh consecutive term in congress.

WELLS WILL CASE GOES OVER.
Suit Over Millions in Grundy County,
POSTPONED


Grundy Center, Jan. 12-The million
dollar suit over the Wells will is not to
be tried at this term of court, but at
the February. This decision having
been reached, interested people will be
sorry to learn that they must wait an
other few weeks before the celebrated
case is tried. 1t will be one of the
hardest fought will cases ever tried in
Iowa and will no doubt make the most
interesting legal battle ever witnessed
in court in this county.
There will be upwards of one hum
dred witnesses to examine. This, with
the work of securing a jury and MAX
ing the pleas, will probably require be-
tween three and four weeks.
Among the witnesses there will be a
sanity 1t is expected that the contes-
tants will put upon the stand the SUI
perintendents of all of the insane hos-
pitfalls of the state to try, to show the
jury the mental incapacity of Mr.
Wells at the time the final will was
made.
The case will no doubt go to the SUI
preme court regardless of what the de-
cision of the local jury will be, owing
to the large amount involved. This
will probably keep the case on the
courts several years and at its final out
come there may not be as many heirs
remaining to enjoy the benefits of the
big estate as are now claiming share
in it,
The will disposes of about million
dollars worth of property. In the will
made by Mr. Wells he has bequeathed
all but $4,000 of his property to his
heirs. The four heirs of Mrs. Wells
have contested the will on the ground
that Mr.. Wells was not of sound mind
when the last will was made.
There has been some talk about
settlement, but it is not probable that
the contending parties will come to-
gether out of court.

DEFEAT OF CHURCH COMPLETE
Opening Of Further Negotiations BY
France Would Mean Downfall of tho
cIemenceau MISUNDERSTANDING to
"Driv. France to canossa" Must
Fail.

Paris, Jan. 12. - The encyclical Is
sued yesterday by Pope Plus seemingly
puts an end to the hopes Of the mod
crates Of all shades of opinion that
the church eventually would accom-
modate itself to new conditions in
France. There is not the faintest sug--
gestion that the French bishops viii
not obey orders from Rome. Attic
many of them unquestionably would
difficulties, confronted as they now are
by a choice between obdience or
schism, 1t is foregone conclusion that
at the meetings of the episcopacy here
January Is, they will simply register
the pope's decision. The consequent
ces are likely to be deplorable from ev-
cry point of view. A majority of the
clergy and Catholics generally recog-
1iize that practically there is no chance
Of the church emerging victorious from
the struggle. On the contrary the lot
Of the church will be only harder. If it
is the vatican's purpose to drive
France to Canossa,'' it must fail, as no
matter how desirable negotiations
might have been at the beginning.
the mere suggestion now of negotiating
would mean the instant downfall of the
cabinet If the object of the Catholics
Is to arouse Catholics to seek redress
at the polls, the first attempt at organ
ization for that purpose will be met-by
a measure authorizing the government
to regard all priests as being subjects
OF a foreign power. This step, how
ever, as Premier Clemenceau has an
nounced, will only be taken as last
resort

ing Money to Repair River Break.
Washington, Jan. 12.-The' president
today sent to the senate a message
urging some action by congress toward
remedying the situation caused by the
break in the Colorado river four miles
below the international boundary line
in Mexico, and which threatens prop
erty interests in the Imperial valley,
California. The message contains
long review of the situation and says
prompt action must be taken. other
wise conditions will become so eX-
treme as to be impracticable of rem
edy. Probably with the expenditure
of 100000. the president says the
river can be restored to it's former
channel and held there indefinitely.
The question of what sum, If any,
should be paid to the Southern Pa
cific Railroad Company for work done
since the break November 4, is one
for future considerations.
