HOCH BANlSHES THEM.
Portraits of ex-Governors Will No
Longer Adorn Executive Walls.

Governor Hoch has banished from
his suite in the state house the por-
for many years have adorned the
walls. And the big bronze bust OF
senator Plumb is also to be moved.
The whole outfit will be added to the
collection OF the Kansas State Histor-
ical society on the top floor of the state
house.
No doubt there will be people ready
to rise up and condemn the governor
for this 'sacrilege," but the disinter-
ested spectator who has had an oppor-
tunity to gaze upon the motley array
or crayons, pastels. enlarged photos
graphs, each in a different style of
frame representing the various epochs
of art from '65 down to date. will not
be inclined to censure the present CHER
executive much for coming to the con-
clusion that these relics should be
placed In thee historical society. Still
they are interesting even If they are
not attractive.
The portraits of the early territorial
and state governors are done in crayon,
and most of them are CHASTITY efforts
of some alleged artist. They look as
though they had all been done up in a
job lot at a bargain price.
The collection of portraits of Kan
saS governors on the walls of the ex-
ecutive offices has never been complete.
Daniel Woodson and George M. Beepe,
both of whom were territorial secre-
taries, who served as governors, are
no picture of either one. though the
historical society has made efforts to
get them. There is none of Woodson
extant, SO far as known, and the rela-
tives of Beebe have been unwilling to
furnish his picture. Neither Woodson
or Beebe made particularly good rec
ord in Office, both of them doing their
best to battle the free state party and
encourage the border ruffians from
Missouri.
In the collection of portraits of
state governors there are also a few
furnished his portrait to the office,
though he did send very fine portrait
to the historical society. The por-
trait of J. w. Leedy is one of the best
in the collection, and it is a pastel
drawing in colors. w. E. Stanley has
an excellent portrait in the collection,
and so has L. D. Lewe1ling. Nothing
favorable can be said of the other por-
traits, except that they are the best
the state has.
The bust of Senator Plumb, which
has stood in the governors office for
many years, but for what reason has
long since been forgotten, is often
mistaken by people who visit the Of
fee, for Governor Leedy. There is no
ator Plumb's bust in the governors
office, and it will therefore be moved
to the statuary collection of the his
torical society.
The reason for the Punishment of
all these ancient relics from the gov
ernor's office at this time is the gen.
eral overhauling which the office has
sominers' and painters. The portraits
were taken down to make way for
these improvements, and they will not
be replaced

WAR TALK FOOLISH.
Baron Mitsui Gives Renewed Assur-
ance to Steel Trust Head.

New York, Oct. 12.-Considerable
peace and trade and little about war
seems to have been discussed at a
luncheon given by Judge E., H. Garry,
chairman of the board of directors of
the United States Steel corporation in
honor of Baron s. Mitsui, head of the
great MitSui company of Japan, and
credited with being the richest man
in the empire. The luncheon took
place at the Lawyers club. Other di-
rectors of the steel company besides
Judge Barry and representatives of
the company's export department
manager of the Mftsui company in
Japan and K. Fuki manager of the
concerns New York branch.
Judge Garry declined to say if d.
rect business affairs were talked about
but he did say that Baron Mitsui gave
him to understand that with Manager
Matsuda he represented the japanese
government and that he was an ex-
official advisor of the present japanese
cabinet in matters of finance.
THE baron assured me- Judge
Garry said, that all talk of war was
foolishness and that the thinking class
in his country realized that nothing
had interviewed between the two gov
ernments to warrant any buster about
fighting"
Inasmuch as the Mitsuda company
has steamship lines plying between
Japan and Europe, China, Australia,
North and South America, and it is
engaged in the material development
of Korea on a huge scale, much in
terest attached to the luncheon and
the exchange of ideas between the
hosts and the guests.

NEED NOT Be SCARED.
Tax Commission Corrects Impression
About Bank Deposits.

1t seems that some of the bankers
or the state are becoming alarmed for
fear the new assessment and taxation
law will authorize the assess ors to ex.
anime the books of a bank to find out
the amount of deposits, and thus oper-
ate to drive depoSitorS away from the
banks of the state.
Such communications have been re-
ceived by Governor Hoch, and he
turned the letters over to the tax COM
mission to be answered Today the
tax commission gave out its answer
to one of these letters, which will serve
to set forth the position of the com.
mission in the matter. The commits

his information entirely from the de-
positor and from others not connected
with the bank concerning the cash Of
the taxpayer.
The following is the letter:
Dear sir-Your letter of the 3rd
inst. to Governor Hoch has been re-
ferred to the tax commission for ans
wer.
1.-The commission is of the opinion
that you are undu1y alarmed about
the possible bad effect upon of the tax
law of 1907. There is, not the least
reason why any depositor should with
draw his money from a bank insofar
as taxation is concerned Sec. 81 of
the law reads:
deputy assessor shall have the power
to compel the production of the
books of any bank or to examine the
same; nor shall any officer of any
bank be compelled to testify as to the
contents of any of the records of such
pose of examination in any matter re-
1ating to assessment or taxation

taxing officer has authority to get

VIOLENT DROP IN PRICES.
Wall Street Suffered From a Multi
plicity of Rumors.

New York, Oct. 12.-Liquidation in
moderate volume but which met no cor
responding demand, precipitated some
violent declines in prices during the
week. Low priced securities of al
kinds and industrial securities of al
grades were most conspicuous in the
fall The pressure of money conditions
especially in Amsterdam and in New
York was a prime factor in the forcing
of liquidation. Rumors were plentiful
of reduction of working forces in man.
ufactures, especially of equipment and
denials of some these did not check the
fall in prices.
The pressure for commercial credits
was strong and anxiety was felt for
the consequences in positions of over
extension. The statistics of failures of
September gave force to dependency of
officials over high operating costs and
legislative harassment. The rise in
foreign exchange and doubts over the
continuance of treasury relief for the
money market bore out the position.

from bank any information what
ever concerning the. business of its de-
positors.
lit is true that the law requires as
sessed' persons tos return for taxation
their moneys whether on hand or on
deposit and also their credits, but the
law presumes that the owner of such
classes of property will himself list
them. No owner of such property can
evade his just obligation to contribute
his share to the support of the state
government and the municipal sub
divisions of which he is a citizen with
out violating the law. 1t will do him
no good to deposit his money outside
the state or to invest in foreign secu-
rites as the law Of this state taxes his
property just the same and while the
assessor can get no information from
the bank or any of it's officers, yet he
can put the assessed person under
oath and can also take the sworn tes-
tinony of all persons other than bank
OFFICERS who are supposed to have
knowledge upon the subject.

NOTICE TO PACKERS.
They Must Quit Employing Children
in Houses.

w. L. A. Johnson, state labor COM
missioner, today issued a notice to the
big, packing houses and other factories
of the state that they must discontinue
their present system of giving tenn
porary employment to children under
age, pending investigation concerning
their eligibility under the child labor
law.
1t has been the custom for the fac
tory to hire any youngster who APP
piled and stated that he was within
the lawful age. The factory has been
accust orned to wait until number of
such certificates were collected before
referring them to the superintendent
of schools for verification, allowing
the children, meantime, to continue at
work. In the future, the child seek
ing employment must be fully verified
before starting to work.

All over the east there is a great dis cussion as to whether or not an athlete will ever run 100 yards in nine seconds fiat. The discussion has grown interest ing. good arguments being made by both sides. It seems that nearly all the phy- sical directors and trainers say it will be done within few years. Sprinters all over the country are taking exception to this, and, almost to a man. they declare that 1t will never be done.
 'I have seen several men make the century in nine second fiat from flying start" said Physical Director Alfred Brodbecl, of the c. c. A.

If successful over there he will try his hand for the big events at the Metropol- itan tracks. For four years Gates and his father have been patrons of racing about New York and heavy bettors, but this will be the first time the Gates name has appeared in the ownership list.

For weeks the government steamer has been laboring to rescue vessels caught in the ice. Fishing ves- sells have been picked up and carried away, while two of them, 1t is feared, have been lost, with all hands, forty men in all.
