THE COST is MORE.
Increase for Maintenance of Kansas
Charitable Institutions

The total cost of operating the nine
charitable institutions under the state
board of control for the first half of
the fiscal year ending December 81,
1905, was 1905, ,404, as compared with
S283,730 for the corresponding per-
1od of the previous fiscal year, an in
crease of $21,674. There are only two
institutions in the state which were
run at less expense during the 1906
period than in 1905. These were the
Girls Industrial school at Beloit,
which shows a decreased expense of
1891, and the Winfield School for
Feeble Minded, which cut down it's ex-
penses $S43. The Topeka hospital for
watomie hospital increased $4,000.
This accounts for about half of the to-
tai increase.
This information is all contained in
the semi-annual report which the law
requires the state board of control to
have printed. 1t is now ready for pub
lication, and shows many interesting
facts about the institutions of the
state.
The increase in the running ex-
due largely to the increased cost of
commissary supplies, such as food.
clothing, ice, utensils, etc. An in
crease of $1S.572 is shown in the cost
of food stuffs, ETC., while the increase
in salaries was only s3,1O2. The
amount expended for breadstuffs has
decreased from $13,252 to $12,712,
but nearly everything else increased.
Eggs jumped from $3,661 to $5.427;
fruit, fresh and canned from S7,S66
to $40, meats from $29,696 to
$31, ,S07; vegetables from $6,025 to
$12,257.
The property purchased for the va,
rious institutions, such as books, fur
niture, stock, trees, fuel, medical sup
plies, etc, has increased from $780,
153 in 1905 to $S8,291 in 1906.
The amount expended for special
appro priations during the six months
decreased from $23,173 in 1905 to
S16906 in 1906

SALMON CASE UP.
An Effort Is Being Made to Secure a
Jury at Warsaw.

Warsaw. Mo-. March 2s.-An effort
is being made here today to secure a
Jury to try the case against Major
Harvey w. Salmon, charged with
grand larceny in connection with the
failure of the Salmon & Salmon bank
of Clinton, which closed its doors on
June 81, 1905, with liabilities of ST.
100000
Major Salmon and DR.. G. Y. Salmon
had been prominent in business and
politics in Missouri since the civil war.
A month after the failure the receiver
reported assets of the face value of
$S60,0O0, and liabilities of $1,000,000.
But in these assets were included
$661,O00 bills receivable, nearly all al
legged to be of spurious character. In
vestiga ton developed that the bank
had been in a questionable condition
for some time as the result of cattle
dealings of the Salmonst and the TAX
ing by T. NJ Casey, cashier. of the
banks funds to pay the debts of his
father George NJ. Casey, an extensive
cattle operator who failed in 1904.
Thirteen indictments for forgery
were returned against Casey; six
against DIR. Salmon and Major Salmon
for grand larceny in receiving deposits
when the bank was insolvent and four
against DR.. Salnaon's son, Frank, also
for grand larceny. Casey pleaded
guilty last year and received a SEN
tence of five years in the penitentiary.
The Salmons are to be tried separately.

HOT FIGHT IN CHICAGO.
Mayoralty Contest Is Being Waged
With Desperate Determination.

Chicago, March 2S.-The mayoralty
campaign now on in this city has be-
come one of the most intense political
contests that Chicago has seen in re-
cent years. Both the adherents of
Mayor Dunno, who is seeking re-elec-
ton, and Fred K. A -Busse, the Repub-
ncan candidate, have allowed them
selves in their enthusiasm to indulge
in bitter personalities and charges
and counter charges have been made
with energy.
Improved street car facilities
throughout the city is the main issue.
Both Republicans and Democrats are
agreed that this is undeniably desir-
able but there is a radical difference
as to the best means of obtaining the
results. The Democrats pin their
faith to the doctrine of municipal own
ership as advocated by Dunno, and the
Republicans stand behind the ordi-
nances recently passed by the city
council over the mayors veto which
declare in favor of Immediate i'm
provement of the street car systems
with municipal ownership much fur
ther in the background than is deemed
desirable by Mayor Dunno and his fol-
lowing.
The fight has so far been extremely
warm and the heat is likely to increase
between now and election day, next
Tuesday. Many meetings are held.

the office of United States judge. He
said: 'Pollock's friends had gone to
the president and had told him that
unless he would appoint Pollock, that
they would make a deal with me by
which would endorse Pollock, and in
return be allowed to head the delega-
ton to the national convention, and
name the delegates" This. Burton
said, scared Roosevelt into appointing
Pollock.
Cyrus Leland is the friend of Judge
Pollock referred to by Burton. 1t was
he who went to the White House and
remained with the president until the
nomination was sent to the senate.
Concerning Burton's statement, Mr..
Leland said:
1 wish to say that Burton's stale
ment that L represented to- the presi-
dent that the Kansas delegation get
together if Burton were allowed to Sc
lect the delegation to the national con-
vention is all wrong. Burton's name
was not mentioned in the conference
with the president 1 knew better than
to even speak his name because he was
already discredited at the White House.
No one was with me. Judge Pollock
was nominated by President Roosevelt
because the president wanted him and
not because the president feared j. r.
Burton or anyone else in his ambition
to succeed himself"

MR. GRAHAM is HERE.
Wasn't Locked Up in Mexican Prison
After All.

A. A. Graham claim agent of the
Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific Railroad
company, has returned to Topeka from
his trip to Mexico, where he went to
settle the claims for damages for the
death Of Mexican laborers that were
killed in the Volland wreck.
Mr.. Graham is looking well and an
nounces that the reports of his deten-
ton and Imprisonment by the Mexican
authorities was unfounded.
No, there was no truth in the reports
that became prevalent that the Mexi-
can authorities were holding me to
force the payment of big indemnities,' -
said Mr.. Graham to a reporter for the
hand, 1 was treated with the greatest
kindness upon the part of every Mexi-
can official with whom 1 came in con-
tact. L encountered no difficulty what
ever, and my business was handled with
no other events than would ordinarily
arise in the negotiations that character
ize any business transaction.
1T was an unfortunate circumstance,
however" continued Mr.. Graham, that
it happened that L was away on trip
and was Sc miles from communication
at the time that the report was publish
ed. Mexican Central officials were ask
ed to locate me but were unable to do
So which lent a little credibility to the
rumor. Our officials, that is the officers
of the Rock Island, communicated with
our general agent in the City of Mexico,
however, and it required but
short time to acquaint our people with
the fact that there was nothing to the
report.
"The strange thing about it is,'' Mr..
Graham added, that some of the Mexi-
can papers got hold of the rumor and
went the American papers one better.
Some of the papers printed in Spanish
printed story to the effect that 1 had
been killed"
Mr.. Graham met Austin Brady, for
merly a reporter on the State Journal,
and Mrs. Brady, a former Topeka girl,
at GuadaIajara, where Mr.. Brady owns
and publishes a newspaper. Mr.. Ora
ham also met Mr.. Brady in the City of
Mexico the day of his departure from
that CITY

SCHWARTZ CONFIRMED
He Will Assist in the Prosecution of
Land Frauds.

Denver. March 2S.-Judge NJ. c.
Buch. special assistant attorney gen.
eral, in supervision of the prosecution
of coal, timber and other land frauds,
now located in Denver. said today that
he had just received a telegram from
Secretary of the Interior Garfield,
confirming the appointment of H. H.
Schwartz, one of the special assistants
to the attorney general, located at
Helena, Mont, to be chief of division
''f'' of the general land office.
Division "P' comprises all the Spe-
cial agents of the general land office
operating in the western public lands
states and territories and includes
practically the entire field forces of
the general land office. 1t is believed
that this special force will be thor
oughly overhauled and reorganfzed
and that its efficiency will be greatly
increased.

of a complete breakdown in the opin-
ion of the women members of the
Thaw family who have been with her
almost constantly since Thaw's trial
began 1t was said today that her
condition is regarded as SO grave that
in the future she will not be permitted
TO venture alone from her hotel. Dur
ing all the months her husband has
been in the Tonbs it has been her
custom to go alone to the prison every
day and spend a long time with Thaw.
Today, however, she was accompanied
on her visit by May Mckenzie, her
actress friend, and it was said that she
will go about alone no more, at least
until after the commission which has
been appointed to inquire into Thaw's
mental condition completes its work.
Mrs. Thaw remained only short
time with her husband today and
when she left the prison her face
showed traces of tears.
DR.. Britton d. Evans, the chief alien
ist for the defense spent some time
with Thaw in the Tombs today. 1t is
said that DR.. Evans made an examina-
ton of the prisoner preparatory to the
opening of the lunacy commissions
hearing later in the day

BIG COBURN BOOK.
New Agricultural Report Breaks the
Record. a

The biggest book ever published by
the Kansas state boards of agriculture
came from the state printer today It
is the 18th biennial report and consists
of nearly 1850 pages. and will call for
about 40 cents postage on each book in
stead of 80 cents, as has been the case
with former reports. The 14th biennial
report consisted of 1.0o0 pages.
OF the 1907 report IS pages in the last
part are devoted to the report of the
decennial l'census, which must be taken
by the state board of agriculture. The
rest of the book is divided into the fol-
lowing portions:
Corn.
Farm animals.
General agriculture and home maxi
ing.
Commercial fertilizers. -
Proceedings of the annual meeting.
General agricultural statistics.
The portion devoted to corn is the
largest section of the book and the
whole subject of corn culture is treated
fully by expert authorities on corn Gull
ture
There will no doubt be a big demand
for the book. 1t is one of the most pop
ular publications issued by the state

WILL NOT ARBlTRATE.
Trainmen Apparently Are Bent on
Going Out.


Chicago, March 28.-The representatives
of the rrainmen and conductors decided
today that they will ignore the propesi-
tfon of the general managers of western
railroads looking to arbitration under the
Erdman act and voted to persist in their
preparations TOR a strike. They declare
that walkout is Imminent unless the
managers make some further concessions.
The subcommittee of Brotherhood of
Railway Trainmen and the Order of Rail
read Conductors held a spirited meeting
t. discuss the move for arbitration made
by the managers. After heated discus
sion it vas decided to- persist in the reg
ular procedure already outlined in ar
ranging for a strike. It was the unani-
nous vote of the meeting that no atten-
ton should be paid TO the s1ibitrati0n
proposition as at the present made by the
general managers.
P. H. Morrissey, grandmother of the B.
of r. T., said after the maeting of today
thet Seth Low, the chairman of the con-
ciliatory committee OF the National Civic
Federation. had conlnunie l:ed with hin
regarding the issues of the conferences
with the general managers. There was
nothing in this direction, Mr.. Morrissey
said, that could be done Immediately Fur
ther meetings of the men will be held to-.

HE DIED OF TOOTHACHE
Further Particulars Regarding Sudden
Death of "Silent" Smith.

Kioto. Japan, March 2S.-James
Henry Smith, the wealthy New Yorker
who died here yesterday while on
wedding tour around the world began
to complain of toothache while cross
ing the Indian ocean. On reaching
Shanghai he consulted a doctor, who
relieved the pain somewhat When
Mr.. Smith reached Nagasaki, the pain
increased but after medical treatmen
he continued to Kobe, where another
doctor was consulted. Mr.. Smith then
proceeded to Kioto by train but he
was so weak when he reached this city
he had to be carried to his hotel. He
underwent a surgical operation of the
affected gum during the afternoon of
March 25 and was progressing fairly
well but suddenly grave symptoms de-
yesterday and he expired at 9
o clock in the evening.
The cause is believed to have been
cancer
