HOT WORDS EXCHANGED
General Grosvenor and Prof. Elliott

of Cleveland, at meeting of the house
ways ana means committee, held to
consider the Southland measure for

General sGrosvenor will interfere

Grosvenor replied. s. 4st
The controversy arose through Prof.

tee much testimony concerning the
case of the J. Hamilton Lewis sealing
vessel, which was finally settled before

General 's<I Grosvenor, Chairman

Elicit that the documents were of no
value in ,.thei ehea ring, but he resented
their interruptions and attacked the
members of ythes committee with a
vehemenee that afforded much amuse-
ment to the! committee and spectators.
Mr.. Elliot devoted practically the
entire morning to citing the ]. Hamil-
ton Lewis case. as proof of his claim
that the North American Commercial

from the United States to take seals in
Alaskan waters, obtained tn e conces-

NEW KIND OF TRUST.
City Candidates May. Organize Against
Political LeecheS- -,-

No be-ribboned hacks, no. buggies
and coupes, no cigars and no tips or
contributions for campaign SOLICITORS.
All these were to be done away with
at this spring municipal election If
certain of the candidates for office
could have got together. -.
- Election day. which is-a bright par
ticular oasis for the livery man with
hacks ard vehicles for hire and for
the petty politician, would have been
swept away and not a familiar vestige
remained if the agreement which was
suggested should be entered into by
candidates had reached conssumma-
ton.
The suggestion came from c.. K
Holiday, candidate for. mayor and
was proposed a number of weeks ago
bet the arrangement fell thnough.
Considerable expense, alta cheS to run

keeps many a would be seeker for Of

dreaded by the man with means be-
cause there is 90 much of the giving
which of necessity goes to. the man
who simply is a CRATER and who preys
on the officeseeker for a loan which
he expects never to repay.
Edwin L. O'Nei1 has proposed a
new plan of doing out money to those
who solicit support from intending
candidates. In an open letter to
those interested he proposes that an
agreement be entered into and that a
certain per cent OF the Saiary attached
to the office for which each candidate
is running. be pledged to certain stated
charities and that no other contribu-
tions be made. To those successful In
office the percentage should be great

features of campaign expenditure. ~

the candidates and they feel favor

Charles F. Spencer, candidate for

what should be spent in the fight for

A sMUGGnER CAUGHT.
Negro at Parsons Had Twenty-one
Pints En- Route to the Territory.

Parsons, Kan, Jan. 29.-Officer Will
Hanson has arrested a tan-colored
negro who was attempting to smuggle
a. cargo of whisky into the territory. He
had twenty-one pints of the contraband
goods on his person when arrested. 1t
was sewed up in a sack in an ingenious
manner so the negro could carry 1t
slung across his shoulder. When ar
rested he was attempting to board a
freight train; and later Officer William
son turned him over to Deputy Sheriff
Lee Jackson and he was taken before
Deputy County Attorney Brady.
- The negro is evidently an old offender
and has been smuggling the goods into
the territory before. He claimed to
have paid $40 for the consignment he
had when caught and attempted to
evade telling where he purchased the
goods. AS he did not attempt to sell
any of il here there was no state law
by which. he could be prosecuted and
the. goods were returned to the dealer
and the negro given his money back
with orders not to attempt to run the
blockade again He said he would Fath-
er serve two. years in the penitentiary
than tell swhere he got the goods, but
when told If he did not give the desired
information he would be turned over to
the federal authorities and would prob
ably be sent up for five years. he weak
ened and told where he got 1t.

The Lack of Cars.

Demand Of the railroads upon the work
for their locomotives ana cars is in ex-
cess, all over the country. of their ability
to meet II. That is, demand Of traffic has
outrun railroad equipment very far. II is
in the West that the shortage produces
extreme inconvenience and heavy loss.
Even the great lines OF the East cannot
move the tran that offers, and lack Of
motive power delays even pa passenger
trains. In the Southern states the condi-
tons are very similar to those that pre-
vail In the West. Were the situation
without remedy the people would be pa
tent. But 1t is felt everywhere that there
has not been sufncient foresight or enter
