ROOSEVELT TO JUDGE.
III Central American Trouble Shall Be
Submitted to Arbitration.

Washington. April 23-The Central
American controversy is no nearer a
settlement today than it was yesterday.
according to dispatch received today
at the state department from Philip
Brown, the American charge at Guate-
mala, cabling from La Union. Salvador
Mr.. Brown stated that the deadlock
is still on. He held out no hope of an
early agreement
Both the United States and Mexico
are striving to bring about some under
standing between thesbellfg erents
Long conferences were held today be-
tween Assistant Secretary Bacon and
the representatives Of Mexico Salvador
and Costa Rica as result of which it
was announced that important develop
ments may be expected within "a hours
In the present apparently hopeless state
of affairs it has been determined that
the only way out of the difficulty is by
arbitration of all the questions in dis
pute and therefore Nicaragua. Hon
duras and Salvador today have been
urged to agree to a proposition of that
nature Should it be accepted there is
no question, it was stated from authorI-
tative sources, that President Roosevelt
will be asked to sit in Judgment in the
cases.

KILLED THE COYOTES TOO SOON
Arthur E. Dillon should Have Waited
Till May 1.

Arthur z. Dillon, sixteen-year-old
boy living in Menoken township, killed
a litter of coyote pups before they were
quite ripe enough for him to get a
bounty on their scaIDs.
He brought the seven scalps to the
county court house today and took them
to the county clerks office where he
made a claim for the bounty due him.
One of the clerks in the office who was
not familiar with the ruling of the
county commissioners in the premises
accepted the claim and had Dillon make
out an affidavit of the killing of the
coyotes. Dillon swore that he killed
them on Saturday and said that he had
found them in hollow log.
The last legislature passed a law max
ing it mandatory for the county COM
state to pay a bounty of 81 for each
coyote scalp Heretofore, the law on
the subject has left it to the discretion
of the county commissioners of each
county as to whether not they would
pay a bounty on coyote scalps. The new
law states that no claims for bounties
shall be allowed by the commissioners
for scalps of coyotes killed until after
April" The county commissioners have
decided that because of this wording in
the law they will not have to pay any
claims for these bounties for coyotes
killed before May 1.
So young Dillon will not get any
bounty. His claim was the first one
that has been made this year.

ENFORCEPURE FOODLAW
Inspector KIeinhans Says That He
Finds Little Opposition.

"I have made 400 Inspections of
groceries. meat markets, bakeries. ho-
tells and restaurants in Wichita Win
field, Newton, Emporia and other
points during the past two weeks
said John Kleinhans of Topeka today
on his return from his first trip as one
of the state food inspectors land 1
have yet to find a single merchant who
objects to the enforcement of the pure
food law Everybody is in favor of the
law: some of the concerns which I
found to be in most need of it are in
favor Of a rigorous enforcement"
Mr.. Kleinhans is devoting most of
his attention at present to the sanitary
condition of the food-selIing estab-
lishments of the state.
I'VE visit all the. ice cream and non
factories. and see that they are keep
ing their esta biishments in good SAN
1tary condition The ice boxes of the
butcher shops and grocery stores are
always inspected, and even the back
yards are ordered cleaned up when
necessary. When we find that a
butcher is using preservatives on his
meats, we notify him to stop. and to
throw the sulphates out the back door.
When we find adulterated food pro-
ducts. we tell the grocer or meat man
that he must get rid of them at once.
We leave with each merchant a writ
ten memorandum of things he is re-
quired to do to his store. and send
carbon copy of the same to the CHIEF
inspector at Topeka. The enforce
ment of the orders of the board is left
under the law to the local health Of
hcers when the state inspector is abb
sent"

RATS GNAw THE LEAD PIPES.
Rodents Evidently Desperate From
Lack OF a Drink

1t may be the natural dryness of the
city or a result brought about by the
activity of County Attorney Schenck,
reinforced by the attitude OF Mayor
William Green. or perhaps il is just
the natural cussedneSs of the rat tribe
which prompted them to attack the
lead water pipes in the basement of a
local bank. Be the cause as it may.
when a plumber was called yesterday
to stop a leak in one of the lead pipes
damage had been caused by rats
gnawing at the pipe
Nor was the opening where the
water was escaping, fountainlike. the
only place that damage had been done.
for the entire length of the pipe show
ed the marks of the rodents teeth.
That Topeka is dry there is no doubt.
and the fact that it is drier than it
has been in many years is not dis
puted, for in the past it has never
been necessary for the animal king
dom to gnaw holes in the water pipes
to secure a drink.
Plumbers about the city claim that
there has been an unusual amount of
damage done to lead pipes of late by
the rats and the solution offered above
is the only one which they will adhere
TO- Only Sunday night a jewelry store
was robbed and considerable of the
stock carried away and was afterwards
found where ii had been secreted by
rats. From the present indications it
appears as though the city is in need
of Pied Piper from Hamelin or some
other town.

such as burglary by night, porch

the police did not catch the robber, but
they had a weather eye out for Mr..
Butler. About the same time a small
shoe shop, near the Roose grocery, al
so a barber shop, were entered and
goods removed therefrom. This morn
ing the officers found a major portion
of the missing property concealed in
the residence of Mr.. Ben Butler. He
could not explain the presence in his

flour, smoked hams and other luxur-

Washington. April 2S.-Secretary
Taft today attended his first cabinet
meeting for several weeks. AS he
