GRAFT IN KANSAS CITY,
Investigation to Begin, Conducted by
Governor Folk.

Kansas City, Nc, May 7.-Tomor-
Tow morning the board of police com.
missioners will begin their promised
investigation of charges of police cor
ruption. The probable advent in Kan
sas City within the next week or so of
Governor Folk. who has practically
said he would come here and take a
hand personally in the investigation,
gives promise of sensational disclosures.
For long time allegations have
been made that graft was commonly
practiced.
1t has been charged that it extended
all the way from the protection of petty
criminals to the covering up-for a con-
sideration-of the graver crimes of mur-
ders, and dangerous crooks shielded.
and appointments made at the behest
of certain factions to pay political debts.
Chief of Police Hayes has repeatedly
said that he courted an investigation of
his department, and he has offered to
give the governor and the police COM
nissioners all aid at his command.

MONEY is TRACED.
Witness Saw United Railroads Official
Pay Gold to Ruef.

San Francisco, May 6.-Sensational
testimony was given before the grand
jury today by United States treasury
officials, which laid bare the details of
the bribery of Abe Ruef, Mayor Schmitz
and the members of the board of super
visors by the United Railroads. =.
Through the testimony of Supe1intend-
ent Leach of the mint, Assistant Treas
urer Julius Jacobs, of the San Francisco
sub treasury, and others, 1925, ZOO Of
Doodle was traced from the hands of the
United Railroads to the city officials.
Several officials of the United Rilroaads
were also called as witnesses, but in
voked their constitutional right and re-
fused to testify.
One of the most startling pieces of
testimony was that of Mr.. Leach, who
told the grand jury that he personally
had seen Thornwell Mutually, assistant
to the president of the United Rail
roads, pay $1,000 to Ruef. This was
only the beginning. Other witnesses
the chain of evidence, which,
it is predicted, will result in the indict-
nent of some of the most prominent
officials Of the local traction trust.

WORRY ABOUT OLD CATHEDRAL
London Corporation QuarreIing With
County Council.

London, May 6.-Citizens of London
are anxious about the safety of St.
Paul's cathedral. The southwest tower
is leaning several inches out of perpen-
dicular and large cracks have appeared
in the stone work.
A sharp conflict has arisen between
the City corporation and the London
County council regarding the stability
of the cathedral. The council proposes
to run main sewer under the threat
ened tower, and this the citizens resent
as likely to hasten the ruin of the ca
thedral. Lord Mayor Treloar has
spoken vigorously on the necessity of
London's cathedral, while
Sir Benjamin Baker, the most eminent
civil engineer in England, says he is
to pledge his professional rep
ltation that the proposed sewer could
not in any way affect the cathedral.
A public meeting to protest against
jhe construction of the sewer is being
at the Guildhall, where the
ord mayor will probably preside.

SUBMITS TO NEW LAW.
Hartman AnnuIs Long Contract With
Clark Railroad.

Washington, May 6.-Oflicial infor-
nation reached the Interstate Commerce
commission today of the cancellation
of a traffic agreement entered into June
Is, 1908, between the Southern Pacific
and the San Pedro, Los Angeles 4 Salt
Lake railroad companies.
In the opinion of the commission the
abrogation Of the agreement is of the
highest importance. The facts con-
cerning it were developed at the recent
inquiry into the relations of the South
ern Pacific with other corporations. 1t
was the opinion Of several Interstate
Commerce commissioners that the
agreement was in restraint of trade and
might subject the officials who entered
into it to prosecution under the Sher-
man antitrust act.
Notification of the abrogation of the
agreement was received in letter from
r. S. Lovett, of New York, general
counsel of the Southern Pacific COM
pany. Mr.. Lovett assigns as the rea-
son for the action the enactment by the
California legislature of law which
prohibits contracts restricting compe-
tition.
The agreement binds the Salt Lake
road not to change rates within 80 years
without the consent of the Southern
Pacific. 1t came ont at the inquiry
that the agreement extends beyond
Californi and Einds the Salt Lake road
to build no extensions north Of Salt
Lake parallel.

NEWS ITEMS OF GENERAL INTEREST
FROM THE STATE OF OREGON
POTATOES PROFITABLE.
One of Best Paying Crops Oregon
Farmer Can Raise,

Experience has proven to the Oregon
farmer and produce handler that no
crop can be raised in this state 80 safely
as potatoes. A potato crop failure has
never been known in Oregon, nor has
there ever been a year when at some
time or other the market price would
not yield good profit. There have
been brief periods of depression, but
the cause has almost invariably been
the withholding of supplies from mar
ket when they were needed, which were
followed by the simultaneous market
ing OF excessive quantities. When the
farmers have exercised good Judgment
in selling their crops they have been
amply rewarded.
Oregon produces annually about A.
100000 bushels of potatoes. This
quantity has not varied materially in
the last five years. While in some
seasons ertain sections may turn out
the usual yield, other parts of the state,
owing to the variety of climate in Ore
gon, will produce an extra quantity that
can be counted upon to keep the total
production of the state about the same.

MOVES TO BREAK
LAND MONOPOLY
Attorney General Bonaparte Acts on
Oregon Grants.
Government Would Forfeit Southern
Pacific Land or Compel Sale to
Settlers - May Try to Invalidate
Former Sales - Bristol to Make
Thorough Investigation.

Washington, May 4.-There is no
longer any doubt that the national ad-
ministration will exert its powerful in
fuence to break the Southern Pacific
land monopoly in Oregon and force
that company to place on the market
the remaining 5000, 900 acres of it's
grant, selling upon demand to bona
tide settlers in quarter-section tracts
and at not more than $3.50 per acre,
as specifically set forth in the law un-
der which the grant was made After
several long conferences with Senator
has directed District Attorney Bristol
to make thorough investigation into
the Southern Pacific grant, more prop
erly known as the Oregon Central and
Oregon & California grant.
The government will first determine
whether the law under which the
grants were made can be enforced with
out further action on the part of con-
gress. II it is concluded that there is
ample law, the government will then
determine what is the most practica BILE
method of enforcing its provisions un-
less it shall be found that the grant
was forfeited
From his talks with Mr.. Bourne, the
attorney general is fully aware of the
difficulties OF the problem he has un-
dertaken to solve, and has directed
District Attorney Nathan V. Harlan, of
the third division OF Alaska, to report
to Mr.. Bristol and aid him in every
way in his investiga gations. Mr.. Harlan
was in Nebras ka on leave and desired
before the expiration of
his leave.
Later on, it is understood, the de-
partment will investigate to determine
whether or not sales heretofore made
by the railroad in violation of the sro-
visions of the law can be invalidated.
At present, however, the main object is
o force the Southern Pacific tc put it's
and on the market and no longer re-
ard development along the line of its
'oad.

FIXTURES BY THE POUND.
Keystone State Capitol Grafters Must
Face Criminal Charges.

VaSS STH''H'a' SUdVSeS'
Harrisburg, Pa, May Civil and
criminal suits will be brought by At
torney General Todd against those re-
sponsible for the state capitol scandal.
A complete list of the defendants will
not be known until the inquiry is COM
pleted. The commission will hold no
more public sessions until after the
Legislature adjourns on May IS.
As the commission cannot finish its
work in time to report to the present
legislature, as provided in the resolu-
tion creating that body, the investiga-
tors will send a report to the general
assembly which will simply be an an
nouncement that the inquiry is incom-
pete and request that its time be ex-
tended indefinitely, and that it be au-
thorized to make its report to Governor
Stuart when ready.
The suits will be based on the testi-
mony showing that the contractor COL
lected from the state for 752 thermo-
stats and installed only 1858, and on the
substitution of domestic for baccarat
glass and an inferior glass for Tiffany
favrile. The testimony also shows that
while the more elaborate of the $4,000
worth of lighting fixtures was to be
gold, the bulk of those in
stalled were merely lacquered, the lat.
ter process costing one-tenth the price
of the former. All these fixtures were
supplied to the state at cost of $4.s5
"per pound"

READY FOR TRIAL.
Lawyers, Witnesses and Reporters
Occupy All Available Rooms.

Boise, Ida, May 7.-Practically every
available room in Boise, the capital
city of Idaho, has been reserved for
lawyers, witnesses, or newspaper men
in attendance to the court which will
try William Haywood on the charge of
the murder of former governor Frank
Steunenberg. While there is little or
no public discussion of the case, the
undercurrent OF interest runs strong,
and every incoming train brings addi-
tions to the very large number of people
connected with the case who are al
ready on the ground.
That there might be some delay has
been dissipated by statements emanat-
ing from both sides. Clarence Darrow,
CT Chicago, and E. F. Richardson, of
Denver, jointly leading counsel for the
defense of Haywood, have both stated
that they are ready for trial. Counsel
for the prosecution, James H. Hawley,
and Senator w. E Borah, who have
been engaged specially, are OF the opin-
ion that there will be no further delay.

PASSES DIRECT PRIMARY LAW.
Measure Favored by Governor Is En-
dorsed by Michigan House.

Lansing, Mich, May 4.-The lower
house of the state legislature passed
the primary election bill advocated by
Governor Warner. The bill amends
the existing law by providing for
popular vote on candidates for United
States senator. 1t also removes the
proviso that if no candidates for the
nomination for governor and lieuten-
ant governor receive 40 per cent of the
votes cast in a primary election, the
nominal ons for governor and lieuten-
ant governor must be made by the con-
vention. The bill prohibits newspaper
advertising by candidates,

Crook Sheep Poisoned,

Prineville-Ralph Porsily, sheep
man of Upper Crooked river valley,
lost 21 head of sheep lest week by cy-
anide poisoning. Sheriff EIkins, who
has been quietly working on the case,
says the poison has been mixed with
common salt and scattered around in
the grass about spring in the very
center of Porsily's bedded land. One
OF the herders noticed the sheep fall
ing, and thinking something was
wrong, hastened to get the band away
from the spot, but not until 81 had
dropped. Analysis Of the salt made
here disclosed the fact that it was
heavily impregnated with powdered
cyanide of potassium.

Busse Calls for ScaIps,

Chicago, May 6.-Mayor Busse today
formally asked for the resignation OF
Joseph Powell, William Prentiss and
Frank Wenter, who constitute the civil
service commission of Chicago. They
refused and asserted that the mayor is
without authority to ask them to re-
sign. Mayor Busse refused to assign
any reason for his action. After the
commissioners refusal to resign, Mayor
Busse decided that he has the author
ity to remove them. Consequently he
declared the offices vacant and appoint
ed three new members to the board.

to the land, and that it will not be sub
ject to taxation until patent passes.
