July, 1902, A. L. Williams, general at
torney in Kansas for the Union Pacific.
resigned and Mr.. Loomis moved higher
again. For the past four years he has
held the office of general attorney in
Kansas for the Union Pacific. Associat-
ed with him have been Robert Blair and
Henry Scandrett, under the firm name
of Loomis, Blair & Scandrett. Though
not a college man Mr.. Loomis received
a high school education supplemented
by wide and careful choice in reading
until he has acquired an education that
is more catholic and complete than
many college men possess.
He has been prominent factor in
Kansas DolittcS and was at one time
spoken of in connection with the office
of judge of the United States district
court. j. G. Pollock however received
the appointment.
Mr.. Loomis in leaving relinquishes a
large private practice and the office of
special referee in the Devlin bank
ruptcy matters
The United States court will have to
appoint a special referee to take the
office vacated.
Ties which make it hard to sever bind
Mr.. Loomis to Topeka. Family relatives
live at Salina and here in Topeka are
many close and intimate friends. He
has been a very active member of the
First Presbyterian church and all of
these associations are hard to sever.
1t is probable that Robert Blair, now
assistant general attorney in Kansas
will be proEOted to the general attor-
neyship. Mr.. Scandrett receiving in turn
the position vacated by Mr.. Blair. This
will leave the position of Junior attorney
oren for appointment.
Mr. Blair has been with the Union
Pacific for a great many years and is
considered one of the brightest of the
younger attorneys within the borders of
the state. The promotion of Mr.. Blair
and Mr.. Scandrett would be received
with considerable satisfaction.

THEY MAY FIGHT AGAIN.
Peace Negotiations at AmapaIa Have
Struck a Snag.

Washington. April 22.-Advices re-
ce1ved here today from Central Amer
lea are to the effect that the peace
negotiations which have been in prog
ress for the past few days at Amapala
nave come to a deadlock and it is
reared that a renewal of hostilities is
impending. The difficulty appears to
lie in the Nicaraguan demand that
salvador shall be held responsible for
what has occurred. which condition is
not acceptable:
Senior Corea. the Nicaraguan minis
ter here, today explained to Assistant
Secretary Of State Bacon the Mica
raguan position. which in brief is as
follows:
Nicaragua feels that by her inter-
ference between Nicaragua and Hon
duras, Salvador has made herself LA
BILE for damages inflicted upon Mica
ragua and financial expenses of some
part of the war. AS Salvador denied
any such liability. Nicaragua, in order
to avoid delaying the present nego-
tiations for peace at Amapala, pro-
poses that the question be submitted
to President Roosevelt or some per-
son to be designated by him as to
wheth er0 Salvador is liable for pecu-
mary damages and if so in what
amount

Japanese Bonds F1oated in European
Financial Cssnters

San Francisco. Cal. April 22.-Kore-
kiyo Takahashi, the Japanese financier
who has just completed his mission of
floating loans aggregating s115.O00 900 in
London and Paris to redeem the war
bonds of Japan, arrived in San Fran
cisco on his way home yesterday Talk
ing of his work in London and Paris
last night, Takahashi said:
THE loans fioated abroad are now
mostly held by London brokers, the
stringency of money in Paris being
chiefly responsible for this fact Japan
will pay per cent for this money
which will be used in redeeming the 6
per cent bonds issued during the war
No difficulty is now encountered by
Japan in raising money. Her credit
has been unquestioned since her achieve
ments in the war and foreign capital is
daily pouring into her in increased
amount.

COMPANY MUST PAY.
The Suicide Clause Is No Protection
in Missouri

Washington April 22.-In deciding the
case of Amanda S. Whitfield of Kansas
City, Mo-, versus the Aetna Life Insur-
ance company of Hartford Conn., the
supreme court of the United States to-
day construed the Missouri state law
providing that the suicide of an insured
person shall not constitute valid de-
against the company. The opinion was
delivered by Justice Harlan and re-
versed the decision of the circuit court
of appeals for the eighth circuit, which
decision was in favor of the company.
The policy involved was for S. 900 on
the life of James S. Whitfield which
was taken in 1900, about 1S months be-
fore the death by suicide. There was
clause exempting the company from
paying more than $500 in case of suicide
and this sum the local federal courts
awarded. The court of appeals took the
position that an expansive construction
of the law would render the statute
violative of the common law allowing
freedom in contracts The court there
fore held that the state law could not
properly be construed as prohibiting
the right to classify risks which had
been done in providing for the payment
of only $500 in case of the death of the
insured by his own hands. The supreme
court took the opposite view.
He Was Kansas City Man.
Kansas City, Mo. April 22-James
Whitfield was for IL years sporting edi-
tor of the Kansas City Star, which posi-
ton, together with that of President of
the Western Baseball league he held
at the time of his death here on April
2 1902 Whitfield, despondent over finan-
cial reverses, shot himself. His widow
and one son live in Kansas City.

Native of Vermont.
Mr. Loomis was born at Highgate
Center, Vermont, in 1852. In 1878 he came
west with the family who pre-empted
claim in Saline county. From the age
of 16 until he was nineteen years old
Mr.. Loonlis remained on the homestead.
And then "he struck out for himself"
He went to Lawrence, Kansas and en-
tered the office OF j. P. Usher, then
general attorney for the Kansas Pacific
in Kansas He was a stenographer and
accepted the place with the understand
ing that he was to have an opportunity
of working up into the position of attor-
ney. Judge Usher was a member of the
cabinet under President Lincoln, but
resigned shortly after the Lincoln trag-
edy and took service with the Union
Pacific. The office of the general attor-
ney was finally moved from Lawrence to
Topeka in 1887 and Mr.. Loomis came here.
Shortly after about two months, Judge
Usher was made general counsel for
Kansas with headquarters at Kansas City
and Mr.. Loorlis followed him. receiving
the appointment of attorney for the
Union Pacific for Wyandotte county.
In 1891 Charles Monroe who was assist

Striking Cloak Makers Start a Riot
in New York.

New York. April 22.-Striking cloak
makers at the establishment of oscar
Margolin & Son, Lispenard street, as
saulted the senior member of the firm
today, created a riot in which several
hundred persons participated and final
ly were dispersed by the police. Four
of the strikers were arrested.
Harry Silverstein, the alleged leader
of the outbreak. was held on a charge
of felonious assault. The others were
released upon payment of fines of SO
each.
A strike had been on at the Margolin
cloak factory for several weeks and
the strikers have been so belligerent
that a special detail of policemen was
constantly on guard at the factory.
When Margolin and his son Samuel
were about to open the door today they
were accosted by a committee of strik-
ers Margolin told them that he could
not talk business with them on the
street. Heated words followed and a
moment later a free for all fight oc-
Cured. A dozen policemen were called
before the riot was quelled. The po-
lice used their clubs freely and finally,
with drawn revolvers, succeeded in ar
resting the quartet of leaders.

PARDON FOR M'KINNlE.
Likely That Wichita Long Termer
Will Go Free.

Indications are that a pardon will be
granted by Governor -Hoch in the near
future to John McKinnie. now serving
a 40-year sentence in the Kansas peni-.
tentiary for murder in the second de-
gree. ~
McKinnie was sent to prison from
Sedgwick county, and has been con-
fined there for 81 years. He is known
at the prison as the ''whitewash man."
For years it has been his business to
see to it that the walls and certain
portions of the woodwork about the
prison are whitewashed and kept in
suitable condition. He has been al
lowed to go about the prison, both in
side and out, ana has made no EFFORT
to escape.
Warden Haskell has recommended
that McKinnie be pardoned. and the
family of the man are pleading for his
release. He is now over so years old.
and is believed by the prison officials
to have reformed for keeps.
