INCIDENT CLOSED.
Fourth of July. Committee Writes a
Letter to Gen. Funston.

San Francisco, Cal.- June 25.-The
Fourth of July committee, after a two
hours, session last evening, drafted a
reply to General Funston in which the
latter's. intimation that United States
troops would not be safe from insult
in the streets of San Francisco, was
repudiated and the generals offer of
troops declined because the idea of
parade had been abandoned.
The reply covered both the original
letter from General Funston dated
June II, and a later communication in
which the general explained at great
er length his reasons for advising
against the parading of troops. He
declared that the expression "un-
whipped mob" was intended to apply
to a certain lawless element in the
community and not to the committee.
He closed by Offering troops for
parade on July 4. with the statement
that it was up to the people of San
Francisco to deal with any disorder
that may occur.
The committee, in its reply, stated
that it did not take the generals ex-
preston a personal insult, but
as unjust the accusation
that United States troops would be
unsafe in San Francisco streets.

BEATEN AND ROBBED.
G. G. Carter Has a Terrible Expert
ence With Holdup Men.

Between four and five o'clock Sat
urday afternoon Mr.. G. G.. Carter. who
lives at 1903 West Gordon street,
North Topeka, was assaulted and bad
ly used up. The assault took place at
the Rock Island crossing in North To-
peka, and was committed by two
white fellows. One of them was Alf
Cochran, who is now at the county
jail 1t is believed the assailants got
only about 81.
When the police reached the scene
of the trouble Mr.. Carter was lying on
tracks with his face and head badly
bruised up. Cochran and his ''as-
sistant," whom the police have not
yet located, attacked Carter with a
piece of a railroad iron and beat him
most numerically about the head and
face. Carter was knocked down, and
then to finish up matters, they took
him and beat his head against the
rails. The colored man who lives just
across the street from where the hold
up took place, said that he heard
women screaming about a man being
beaten up and that he phoned to the
police headquarters about it. In the
meantime Cochran and his assistant"
had escaped up the Union Pacific
tracks toward the west Cochran
was apprehended within a short time
although the other man is still at
large.
Mr.. Carter is a man about fifty-five
years of age. He has lived in Topeka
for good many years, and is we'll
known in North Topeka. At the time
of the assault he had about nine dol
lars in money in his pocket. OF this
Cochran managed to get about seven.
The rest was dropped on the ground
in their hurry to get away before the
officers reached the place. The police
at once put out after the culprits, and
in a short time had Cochran. The
other one succeeded in making his
getaway. Cochran is now held on
charges of robbery and assault with
the intent to kill.
Cochran was arranged in the city
court today and his hearing post

FUNsToN's EXPLANATION.
He Was Not Thinking of Labor Unions
or Strikers.

San Francisco, June 25.-General
Funston, whose letter to the Fourth
of July committee refusing to parade
the regular troops under his command
because he feared trouble at the hands
of the "Unwhipped Mob, in San
Francisco" has led to considerable
comment and criticism, gave out a
statement this morning in which he
said he meant no discourtesy to the
people of San Francisco and that by
his reference to the unwhipped mob,
he did not mean the labor unions, nor
the men now involved in the various
strikes. He declared that he had re-
ceived a number of threatening letters
from one which said he would meet
the fate of Steunenberg if he dared to
parade troops on the streets of San
Francisco. His refusal to join the
parade. he said, was because not all
the men asked for were available and
the parading of the others is inadvis-
able for reasons stated

harness dealer. was fined So in police
court this morning for assaulting a
negro named Horace F'arrar. Farrar
went into Wolverton's store and talked
about purchasing saddle. Wolver-
ton said that the saddle cost $35, and
then Farrar intimated that he was not
telling the truth. Wolverton struck at
the customer. but did not land on him.
Farrar made a complaint against the
harness man. in which he explained
that the assault was doubly serious
because he had a broken arm and
could not defend himself. Farrar at
one time played in the Washburn foot
ball team, and was a noted foot racer.

During this period of four years. the
governor has lived in a splendid man
sion furnished rent free by the state,
and has lived on decidedly economical
basis. His family has not been in So
ciety, there have been no costly social
functions or lavish display at the gov
ernor's mansion, and when the COVER
nor and his family have made trips to
the east in connection with the battle
ship Kansas or other state affairs, their
expenses have largely been paid by the
state. Take it all around, the governor
has been thrifty, and when he is done
being governor, he will be very well
fixed, from the standpoint of the coun-
try editorial profession, from which the
governor was recruited.
Having been economical in his per-
sonal and family expenses, it is safe to
say that during the past four years.
the governor has not spent more than
$4,000 a year. This would make
$4,000, and this is exactly the amount
which the governor will have made
during his term of office by lecturing,
leaving him the $4,000 net.
But Ed Hoch's term as governor
has given him something in the way
of assets besides the 100000 in cash.
1t has given him a chance to break
into the ranks of professional lectur-
ers. AS governor of Kansas the lecture
bureaus were ready and willing to give
Hoch a place. When Hoch got this
chance, he proceeded to make good.
He proved thaI ne was aDle TO de-
liver a lecture which would stand on
its own merits, as well as furnishing
people an opportunity to see the gov
ernor of a state. This reputation will
be worth money to Hoch after he re-
tires from the office f governor. He
will doubtless continue to deliver
lectures, and by putting in his time TO
it the year around, he will probably
make as much out of it as his salary
as governor has amounted to each
year. The governorship of Kansas
may thus be held directly accountable
for opening the door of opportunity
to Mr.. Hoch, and making it possible
for him to engage profitably in his
favorite field of work, the lecture plat
form. There is not much probability
that country newspaper work viii
ever again claim Hoch for it's own.
Hoch was fortunate in becoming
governor of Kansas after the salary
was raised from $2.500 a year to So
900 a year. Former governors not
only have been obliged to worry along
on $4,000 a year. but they have also
been obliged to live at a hotel while
in Topeka. Their hotel bills and
clothes have more than used up the
$2.500 salary. Governor Hoch not
only gets the $4,000 salary. but gets
the free use of the governors mansion
as well.

His Five Thousand Dollar Salary
Only Part of Income.
Makes Nearly as Much Lectur-
ing at Chautauquas.
HE SAVES HIS MONEY.
He Will Have $4,000 Cash at
End of Term.
PrOfited by Raise in Salary and
Having House Rent Free.

1t is generally admitted among the
state house people that Governor E.
w. Hoch will go out of his job as gov
ernor of Kansas worth about $4,000
more than when he came in. This is
probably about the only time in the
History of the state when a governor
has been able to make anything out of
the office, at least by legitimate means.
Governor Hoch has managed to save
me ney by economy and hard work ION
tie side" Some people may criticise
Governor Hoch for delivering Chautau-
qua lectures during the summer months
while he is being paid a good salary
to serve as state executive, but it
must be admitted that Governor Hoch
is doing nothing different from what
many other state officers have done
perhaps in a different way.
This is about the way Governor
Hoch's income will figure out for the
four years of his term as governor:

PRODUCTION AND CONSUMPTION
The Increasing Tendency of the
Former TO Outstrip the Latter.

"A writer in one of the bulletins
issued by the department of con-
merce and labor points out that the
United States consumes 90 per cert
of the manufactured goods produced

the statement with the inquiry
Does any manufacturer anticipate
that, with factories, mines and lanAs
increasing in their output at the rate
they are in the United States. the
quantity sold abroad will continue to
be restricted to a 5-per-cent limita-
tionY" II Is an interesting question
he raises, and one that will not be
satisfactorily answered with stock
references to the illmitable markets
OF the world. AS a matter of fact.
the worlds markets are not illimit-
able, and the evidence is overwhelm-
ing that they are not expanding as
rapidly as production. England
France and Germany each consume
about so per cent OF the manufactur-
ed goods produced by them, and are
Obliged TO find an outlet for 90 per
cent of their output. But IL is ex-
tremely probable that concurrently
