THE LAST RESORT.
Says 1t Should Only Be APP
pcaled to When All Else Fails.

New York, April 15.-In addressing
the Peace congress at its opening An
drew Carnegie, who presided, said:
I'VE believe the psychological mo-
ment approaches when a decided step
forward can be made. Personally,
am a convert to the league of peace
idea-the formation of an internal
tional police never for aggression. al
ways for protection, to the peace of
the civilized world
Before resorting to force 1t would
be we'll to begin by proclaiming nom
intercourse with the offending nation.
No exchange of products, no loans. no
military Or naval supplies. no mails
these estrictions would serve as. a SOL
ernn warning and probably prove eff
fective. Force should always be the
last resort, but it should be the last"

ASSESS CITY RAILWAYS.
This Will Be Done by the State Board
Hereafter.

Railroads of Kansas will probably be
surprised to learn that under the new
assessment and taxation law, all the
street railways Of Kansas will be as
sessed directly by the state board, and
not by the local assessors, as in the
past. This provision of the law seems
to have Slipped in when the street rail-
ways were not looking, for the street
car companies are supposed to be OPP
posed to that method of assessment.
The new assessment and taxation law
says. in defining the duties of the
board:
ITO make aPpraisement and assess
ment of all railway corporations, =.
of all telephone lines, of all ex
press companies, sleeping car COM
panies, private car lines of all
street railroads electric lines and pro
perty.
The discovery OF this provision in the
new law has caused an investigation 70
be made as to the exact provisions of
the present laws, and Attorney General
Jackson and State Auditor Nation are
of the opinion that even under the
present law, the state board of rail-
road assessors have the right to as
sess street railway lines. UP to this
tire the street railway lines have been
assessed by the local assessors. and
some of the railways have escaped with
very light tax.

PUT INTO POTATOES

Shanghai. China, April 15.-The sum
of $1,000 received from the United
States by the famine relief committee
today was used to purchase half a mil
lion pounds of dried potatoes which
were rushed to the front.
A dispatch was received today from
a Chinese official Offering to put for
the first time in history, steamboats,
above the locks on the grand canal,
thus cutting down the time of trans
portation of food to the famine dis
tricts from this city to eight days.
Further particulars of the distress
existing show that people are eating
the green scum from the ponds, white
clay and the hills of rice.
The relief committee has been able
to secure enough milk for one depot to
feed 100 babies until the harvest. The
committee, however, has been compell-
ed to leave about 400 other babies in
that district to die

GIVEN CHANCE TOLEAVE
Chief Eaton VIII Try to Drive Dis
orderly Characters Away.

"Skiddoo" methods will be employed
by the new police chief in dealing with
disorderly houses. Women and in
mates captured Will be given a chance
to emigrate, and rapid emigration will
be considered sufficient grounds for
the annullment Of the complaint
against them.
Chief Eaton said this morning that
Jennie Kline and Lou Arnold. two pio-
neers in the business, will leave town
within few days. as the result of an
agreement of this sort.
Two more raids on alleged disorder
" houses were made early Sunday
morning. The first call was at the
Fashion" rooming house, at 32S Kan
sas avenue. Although this place is un-
der new management, the location has
been that of a disorderly house for
many years. B. Lieurance. the present
keeper, is indignant over the affair,
and says that he is running a legiu-
mate house, with a guest register and
other features common to regular
hotel. He admitted. however, that the
guests registering as man and wife
might not always be legally tied.

GREEN SAYS go SLOW"
Wants Paving Limited to Keep Down
Taxes.

= The first clash between the admins
Tation and the council threatens to be
precipitated this evening over the ques-
ton of paving Mayor William Green
Is strongly opposed to contracting for
more paving than is paid off by the re-
urement each year of paving bonds
The general taxes of the city should
not be increased by one MCKEE" said the
mayor. The taxes are high enough
now and 1 am against increasing the
general taxes above what they are al
ready. / haven't got anything TO say
against the paving where the people
pay for it themselves but where 1t at
fects the taxes of the people generaIfy
over the city something is to be SAID
The majority of the members OF the
council are new members and they nave
expressed themselves strongly in favor
OF paving. At the meeting of the streets
and walks committee at which the 1871
paving schedule came up for consider
alton it took considerable work on the
part of the older members of the coun-
ell to keep the new incumbents from
voting a record breaking schedule
All in all IS blocks of new paving and
repaving are to be recommended to the
council this evening by the streets and
walks committee.
Mayor Green believes that this sched-
ule can be cut down somewhat he
faVors a plan of at least referring the
schedule with the exception of some ten
or fifteen blocks to the ways ana means
committee to make a canvass OF the
f1na ncial situation.
The ten or fifteen blocks of the most
urgent paving, which would include the
five blocks of repaving, the alley paw
ing of three blocks and certain blocks
where the city has no intersections TO
pave or pay for. Mayor Green is in favor
of accepting at the session of the council
this evening.
The grading for the streets paved, and
the paving at the street intersections is
an expense which is borne by the city
at large.
THE paving schedule is 80 per cent
higher, I believe, than that OF last year,
and last year on account OF paving Ran
'sae avenue ii was higher than for sew
eral years previous" said Councilman
s T. Howe. chairman of the streets and
walks committee THE council should
cut the paving schedule down and not
issue more bonds than are paid Off The
CITY paws about $4,000 of paving bonds
each year on an average and of this
amount about 40 per cent represents the
cost directly borne BY the city at large.
The new paving schedule represents
a bout $4,000 a year on an estimate
Forty per cent of $50 900 means $4,000.
while FORTY per cent of $4,000 would
mean $50. O00 This would mean an in
crease of $4,000 in taxation. This in
crease of one mill in the general tax
alton of the city. The city is figuring
on rebuilding the city electric light
plant which means an extra expendi-
ture. 1t will take some economy to not
increase the taxes of the city without
going deeply into paving improve
ments."

HARNESS MAN SUED.
Mrs. George Bradshaw Says Husband
Doesn't Support Her.

| Divorce proceeding, which are of
! sensa tional order were Instituted IN
/ the district court this afternoon Mrs
Cora B. Bradshaw asks for a divorce
| from her husband. George L. Brad
shaw, who has harness store at $40
Kansas avenue.
The two parties to the divorce suit
were married November rs, 1885 and
have lived together for twenty-one
years. To this union there have been
! born three sons, Asa Edward, 20
years of age, Henry Howard, aged Is
and Hallet Spencer, aged II.
In her petition which was filed in
the office of the clerk of the district
court late this afternoon the plaintiff
alleges that ever since their marriage,
over twenty-one years ago, Mr.. Brad
shaw has been a habitual drunkard
and has on various occasions cruelty
beaten her and has almost ever since
their marriage refused to give her
proper means for the support of her
self and children.
On March !, 1906 the mother of
Mrs. Bradshaw died and upon her
death Mrs. Bradshaw went to their
home to take care of her aged father.
Mr., Bradshaw went too and stayed
with them until September 1, 1906,
when he left them. He has continual
ly refused to provide her and her sons
a home, nor has he contributed to her
support. Ever since their marriage,
Mr.. Bra dshaw has refused to provide
p -
the last four years Mr.. Bra dshaw has
purchased one dress for his wife and
the balance of her clothing during the
four years she has had to obtain by
her own efforts, either obtaining it
through her father or earning it by
her own physical labor, so she claims.
Mr.. Bradshaw, so the petition alleges
is capable of making from 500 to $500
per month In the last ten years his
business has run al the way from ST.
500 to $4,000 annually, but during all
this time Mrs. Bradshaw and her sons
have been compelled to work for their
own living. This has deprived the boys
of proper education and schooling and
has kept them out of school just a the
age in life when schooling is most need
ed.
During the past few months Mrs.
Bradshaw has received but $26.50 from
her husband for the support of herself
and sons. The Crly other way which she
mas of obtaining money is from her
father from whom she receives $17 per
month for board. This she claims is
not sufficient for herself and her sons.
disposing of his property pending the
decision of the court in regard to her
petition fOc divorce. a restraining order
has been granted. Mrs. Bradshaw also
asks for alimony and counsel fees.
Another incident which is connected
with the suit is a petition which has
been filed against Mr.. Bradshaw by
Frank Foster who is the attorney for
Mrs. Bradshaw. Some time ago Mr.
Foster purchased a $45 harness from
Mr.. Bradshaw which has not as yet
been delivered. MI. Foster had paid $40
on the harness and in his petition he
asks that the harness be delivered and
that the other $25 which is still owed
for the harness be deducted from the
fees of Mrs. Bradshaw.

JUGGLEO THE RECORD.
Bill Is Made to Appear Defeated When
It Had Passed.

Jefferson City, Mo-, April ia
sensation was caused today by the dis
covery that through forgery and mu-
tilation of the record house bill No.
1872, relating to the location of county
courts, had not been sent to the gov
ernor for his signature. The records
were so doctored to make it appear
that the bill failed to pass when as a
matter of fact it carried by an over
whelming. majority. Representative
Roach, author of the BILL will ask the
general assembly to investigate the
matter. The chief provision of the bill
provided that county courts designate
the site where a new court house is to
be erected before submitting the mat
ter to a vote.

CHEAP DENTISTRY

The word Cheap as applied to dem
tistry is misunderstood by many fairly
intelligent people. If you go shopping
in order to find out where you can get
your teeth filed, crowned or new teeth
made for the least money you will al
most always get the worst of 1t. Good
work, done in a skil1fuI and artistic
manner is worth good price and viii
prove far the cheapest in the end.
Poor work done in a careless man
ner. without proper skill or good ma
terial being used will prove very trou-
blesome and expensive IN the end even
though the first price was very low.
Whenever a dentist gets below a cer-
tain price he is compelled to save on
time, material and skill. The result Is
his work goes to pieces in a few years,
you are caused continual trouble and
perhaps you lose the teeth besides.
You are then compelled to have the
work done over at a much greater exc
pense than. il would have cost you 70
have had 1t well done in the first places
Cheap dentistry is false economy.
