THEY DON'T BELIEVE TT.
Antiquaries Doubt That French
Church Treasures Are on Market.

New York, Oct. 1O.-AntfquarfeS OF
this city are much interested in the
story from Paris OF the robbing of the
churches of France to the extent OF
100000, and the alleged sale of the
treasures by antiQuarfes of Paris in
England and America. That the
plumber had been disposed OF in
America was not credited by some or
the best known antiquaries
Azeez Khayal, an antfquary in the
Aston building, said: "I know of the
dealers in Paris, London and the east
and do not believe any OF them
would risk the sacrifice of his name
and reputation by taking stolen
articles and putting them on the
market.
"A dealer OF reputation will not sell
stolen things, because It may be dis
covered that he has stolen property
The confidence Of my customers is my
capital
Another antiquary, WHALE Berzulet
OF Fifth avenue, said the statements
In the Paris story that almost all the
treasures were sold in England or
America were untrue He said that he
would have been advised at once If the
Cope of Orth. said to be valued at
1000. and stolen from the church
of Ambazaca, which the self confessed
thief, Antoine Thomas, declares he sold
TO an antiquary of London for $4,000,

NEVER FORGAVE HIM.
Why President Roosevelt Prevented
z Is q Advancement of Godfrey.

Washington, Oct. 10.-Barred from
the rank of major general because the
subject of President RooseveIt's per-
sonaI displeasure was Edward S. God
frey, commanding the Mounted Ser
vice school. Fort Riley, Kan, an Off
Ger well known throughout the West
for the last forty years according to
reports current here.
General Godfrey who has just gone
on the retired list was the last Civil
war veteran on the active list to whom
lit would have been possible to give
the rank of major general. The pres
ident's feeling against Godfrey dates
as captain In the battle of Wounded
Knee.
In the days when President Roose-
Welt was a rancher in the northwest
he gave credence to the much-circuI-
ated story that Godfrey was respon-
sible for the killing of Sioux squaws
and children after the braves had sur
rendered.
The statement of other officers pres
ent in the action of Wounded Knee, and
the version generally accepted in the
army is that the Indian woman wore
blankets, used rifles and mixed with
the male warriors, SO that 1t was both
impossible to spare them in the fire and
to detect the fact that they were
squaws. 51 -
"
Early in Rooserelt,s first term as
president, General Godfrey became the
senior colonel of the line and the first
waiting eligible for generals rank The
president, after making further investi-
CATION of the facts in the battle with
the Sioux refused to give Godfrey his
step.
Younger colonies, whose record in
warfare far from equaled Godfrey's,
were advanced over his head. 1t is I'M
derstood in army circles that it was
the influence of General Bell, chief of
staff, that finally secured tardy promo
ton for General Godfrey The presi-
dent made him brigadier last Janu-
ary. General Bell was a lieutenant in
regiment, the Seventh cavalry,
in the action of Wounded Knee, and
Bell stanchly defended God
the Indians.
When Major General McCaskey was
retired last week the president had
the opportunity to make Godfrey
major general, but refused to do so.
General Godfrey boy enlisted in
the Twenty-first Ohio volunteers and
served in the early stages of the civil
war He was subsequently appointed
cadet to the United States military
academy and was graduated in 1857
For a quarter of a century he served
i'm the west He participated in the
Custer campaign, in the famous cam
naien against the Nez Perces, and was
decorated for distinguished gallantry
at the battle of Bear Paw Mountain.
He commanded the Ninth cavalry in
its many engagements IN the Philip
pines.

CONTROL OF RATES.
Is Being Discussed by Association OF
Railway Commissioners.

Washington, Oct. 10.-Thus far no
serious differences of opinion have arisen
among the delegates to the National
Association of Railway Commissioners
convention and the disposition to run
counter to the federal control of rail-
ways is not strong as at the opening of
the convention Two reports on the
programme for today, those on legisla-
ton and rates and rate-making" were
expected to provoke some discussion of
general interest, both striking directly
at the point of cleavage between the
authorities of the national government
and that of state governments as fndi-
vidual sovereignties.
The rates and rate-making" commit
tee takes sharp issue with the national
government on the subject of federal
control which the committee holds is
impossible without an amendment to
the constitution The committee main
tains that the demand of the people is
that the control of rates be lodged as
near at home as possible. The COM
mfttee also urges uniformity of action
between the federal and state railway
authorities and that in some instances
at least the state railway commission
ers act as agents for the interstate
commerce commission.
o. P. Gath1in of Ohio. presented re-
port on uniform classification" in
which he offered resolution that 1t
was the sense Of the convention that
congress enact a law requiring Che in
terstate commerce commission at once
to proceed to make such uniform CLASH
hcation and when so made the same
shall be the legal classified ton for in
terstate shipments.
The report recommends the appoint
ment of a special committee to hasten
the adoption of uniform classification
of freight
Mr.. Gathlin explained that the report
meant that no effective action will be
taken by the carriers. There is a fear
among the public said he. that if
the uniform classification is left to the
carriers it will result in a general ad-
vance in class rates
The report of the committee was
adODted.

KENW00D IT IS.
Keith Tract Reehristened by Mr..
Quinton To-day.

The Keith traet is no more. The
name changed today with a selection
made by Mr.. E. s. Quinton who de-
cfded that the name Kenwood;
1913 Topeka avenue and Miss Minnie
McGrew of 1121 North Harrison, to
be his choice OF all the names pro-
posed by the competitors for the $40
prize offered for name for the new
addition to the city and the prize will
be divided.
Last Saturday Mr.. Quinton decided
that he would offer a prize of $40 for
an acceptable name for the tract and
every mail since that time has brought
in lists of names. They came. from
every quarter of the country, from the
remote points in Maine to the equally
distant points in the northwest
There were nearly five hundred
names proposed, many of them being
duplicates as was the case in the in
stance of the winners of the prize
The name accepted takes the first
three letters of. the maiden name of
Mrs. Qufnton, which was Kendall. and
the latter part of the name was prob
ably added because a deep strip of
woods bounds the tract on the east
and north.
The SO which was offered as a
prize to the one suggesting the name
accepted by Mr.. -Quinton has been de-
posted at the State Journal office and
may be had by the prize winners by
calling for it, each successful con-
testant to receive SIS. Many of the
names suggested We're good and many
of them would proba bly, appeal to the
casual observer as better names for an
addition than the one accepted but the
fact that the name was mbination
of that of Mrs. Quinton probably had
much to do with it's adoption
2 The plat of the addition will be filed
next week and soon after the property
will be placed on the market by Mr.
Quinton. who proposes to make 1t one
of the most beautiful residence por-
lions of the city. A number proposed
Potwin annex asFa suitable name for
the addition, but Mr.. Quinton would
mot hear to- that as he proposes to
make the property worthy of a name
of it's own. a1 p
Il was surprised at the response to
the little notice which was inserted in
the state Jeurnaf, said Mr.. @uinton,
this morning. and the letters which
came to me were from al parts of tn e
country and in nearly every instance
they referred to the fact that they saw
the offer in the State Journal which
indicates that the paper is generally
read.
."Of course most of the SUGGESTIONS
of names came from the city, but there
were many from the state and many
more scattered over the states of the
Union. L think that the name I have
chosen is an idealaone for the tract and |
the next thing to do is to get it on the
market and make it as we propose a |
beauty spot in the city and a credit to |
Topeka"
