ATCHISON LAW ABIDING.
Ex-Mayor Orr Says Saloons Will Be
Kept Closed.

James w. Orr, ex-mayor of Atch-
ison, came to Topeka today to see
about getting a pardon for a young
AtchiSon man who is confined in the
state reformatory.
Mr.. Orr does not approve of the
present system of handling the liquor
business at Atchison.
I'VE are law abiding people at
Atchison," said Mr.. Orr, land when
looms we close them. We don't toler-
ate joints. 1t is either open saloons or
nothing with US. But if anybody
thinks that drinking has stopped at
Atchison he is very much mistaken.
1 have seen more drunken men on the
streets of Atchison during the past
month than 1 saw during the previ-
Gus six years of open saloons. And
then the city loses all the revenue it
has been getting from the saloons.
When 1 became mayor, 1 found the
CITY in debt We paid off all the debt,
and when / left office there was $45,-
600 in the treasury. 1t came from
the saloon licenses.
But with a town located as Atch-
ison is it is useless to try to stop the
sale of liquor. A man can telephone
across the river, and in fifteen min
utes can have delivered to his address
a drink of liquor, or a case, as he pre-
fers. Keg parties are of frequent oc-
These things can't be
stopped. There is no violation of law
in ordering beer from Missouri, and in
having it delivered. But we are decent
people in Atchison, and we will keep
the saloons closed if that is the order
We won't try to evade the order as is
being done in Leavenworth."

POINT TO- STEUENBERG.
Land Frauds Seem to Center About the
Dead Governor.

Boise. Idaho. Sept. 26.-Having ac-
complshed much of the tedious work OF
identifying and placing on the records
the papers in about half hundred OF
the alleged fraudulent claims filed on
timber lands in the interests of the
Barber Lumber company, the govern
ment attorneys in charge of the prose
cutfon of United States Senator VIM.
E. Borah, who acted as attorney for the
company began today to unfold in nara
tive form details of the alleged con-
spiracy which is said to have begun in
1899 and to have continued down to the
filing in 1904 of the last of 108 deeds
covering 100 acres each of thickly
wooded forest land to the lumber cor
poration.
Witnesses who are willing to confess
to alleged wrongdoing and to making
false affidavitS which they swOre were
made in taking out timber claims
which they without interest transferred
to other parties will have largely to do
with the presentation of the govern
mems case.
In his opening statement to the jury,
former Judge Burch of Detroit, the
special assistant of the attorney general,
sent here to take an active part in the
prosecution announced that the govern
ment would offer as one of it's principal
witnesses George S. Long who it is
alleged acted as dummy trustee to give
title to claims from dummies entry
men and transfer the property later to
the Barber Lumber company. This
lumber company, Wisconsin corpora
ton. having it's mill in this city, came
into being, the government claims, after
the alleged frauds were well under way
and was organized to hold and make
use of the lands sold through the So
called conspiracy.
Long will tell you" declared Mr.
Burch to the jury, that he merely
loaned his name as a dummy" that he
never paid a dollar of his own money
for any land; that he never saw any of
The entrymen turn their claims over to
him. that he never knew Senator Borah
and that he never employed Senator
Rorah as his attorney. He will be COR
roborated by letters written to him by

Steunenberg, is promised as the CEN

CHALLEhGE yECLINED.
Yacht Club Refuses to Race With
Upton ON Terms Proposed.

New York, Sept. 26.-Sir Thomas Lip
tons challenge for q contest tor the
America s cup in 1908 has been declined
by the New York Yacht club. Sir
THOMAS asked Tor a race of sloops un-
der the 6S-foot rating and the ms m5ers
of the club based their refusal to race
on the general proposition that the
Americas cup represents a trophy for
produced on a waterline length of 90
feet or under, and that therefore any
proposition to limit the size of the
boats must be refused.
The members of the New York Yacht
club al the meeting called to consider
Sir Thomas fourth challenge for a cup
race voted unanimously to reject the
challenge, after Lewis Cass Iedyard
former commodore of the club, made a
speech in which he described the deed
of gift governing cup contests as drawn
up by George L. Schuyler in 1887. Mr..
Ledyard then presented a resolution de-
claring that the club could not tai Ike the
position of limiting. the waterline
length of the boats under the deed OF
gift.
Commodore Cornelius 4. Vanderbilt,
chairman of the meeting appointed
cup committee to convene Immediate
ly after the meeting and prepare a re-
ply to the challenge. The cup commit
tee made up of Commodore Vanderbilt,

lSlelny helQ session which continued
long after midnight
The sentiment of the club members
at the meeting was that the Reliance,
the winner of the last Americas cup race
was still an unbeaten boat, and that a
race for the blue ribbon of the seas
with smaller and therefore slower boats
was out of the question.
Mr.. Ledyard made the only speech at
the meeting which was attended by
nearly 200 Inemb bers- of the club.
He Will Come Again.
London Sept 26.-Sir Thomas Upton,
bitterly disappointed at the
failure of the New York Yacht club to

thorized the Associated Press to an
nounce that he was prepared to chal-
ienge with a ninety foot boat under
the New York Yacht club rules.

w. H. Rossington, representing the

at the office of Frank J. Ryan, member
OF the state board of railroad commits

EuIlman company would comply with
the boards order, and open up the

II was the intention of Commissioner
Ryan to at once see G. F. Grattan. at
torney for the board and have a for
NAL complaint filed against the Phi
man company. Mr.. Grattan was not
in town this morning and Mr. RYAN
was planning to stay over today for
the express purpose of meeting MIN
thls evening in regard to the Pullman
case When the Pullman company
announced its surrender, Mr.. Ryan at
once left Tor his home in Leavenworth
Mr, Rossington informed Mr.. Ryan
for the Pullman company to issue ths
necessary orders for the opening of its
dead head cars, and that pending that
time the company desired the board 20
take no further action in the matter.
This the board agreed TO do Mr.
Ryan will not have any complaint
brought against the company if it is
willing to comply with the board s
order.
Frank Ryan is the railroad commits
sioner who started the fight on the
present system of sending dead head
cars through the state empty when
people are standing up in the crowded
coaches, and many are willing TO pay
Pullman fare to get a place to sit
down. or a good bed to sleep in.
There was eonsidefa BILE doubt ex-
pressed as to the right of the board to
order the company to open up It's dead
head cars, which are carried through
on nearly every train, but Mr. Ryan
persuaded the board to try it. He said
that it wouldn't do any harm and
might do some good. The members of
the board were unanimous in agree
ing that 1t was reform to be desired.
So the order, which was of an infor.
man nature. and more in the form of
a request, was drawn up and sent to
the Pullman compeny. The Pullman
company merely sent a formal ac-
ing more happened The board came
TO the conclusion that the Pullman
company had decided to refuse to obey
the wishes of the board.
Under the new plan which will be in
operation on all railroads of Kansas
within the next few weeks. a Pullman
car must be opened for the accommoda-
ton of the public. provided there is
any demand for accommodations. 1t is
not the intention that the Pullman
shall be used free of charge. like a
day coach, but that regular Pullman
rates shall be charged.

Upton is KNOCKING.
He Doesn't Think He Has Been Given
a Square Deal.

London, Sept. 26.-Sir Thomas Upton
IS bitterly disappointed at the refusal
of the New York Yacht club to accept
his challenge for another series of
races for the Americas cup. Sir Thomas
said he had been led to believe that if
he challenged under the universal rule
for races in the United States, there
was a possibility of his challenge being
favorably received. He added, however,
that he had not given up the hope of
sending a yacht to Sandy Hook in 1908,
and had already telegraphed to Wit
liam Fife, the designer. to come to Lon
don for consultation. There was but
one thing which Sir Thomas was em-
phatic about. and that. was that he
would not challenge under she old rule
One reason for this is that there is no
designer of note in Great Britain which
includes both Fife and Milne who will

design a boat similar to the previous
Shamrocks. They say that to do So
would necessitate the production OF
even greater freak than those which
have already gone to defeat. Besides,
the danger of sailing such a boat across
the Atlantic must be taken into ac-
count and Sir Thomas is not prepared
to again risk the lives of men in such a
venture.
Sir Thomas, however, authorized the
Associated Press to say that he is pre-
pared to challenge with ninety footer
under the New York Yacht club rules.
I'm sending the challenge" said Sir
Thomas Il conformed with the deed
of gift of the Americas cup which says
that sloops must be over sixty-five feet
on the water line and under ninety feet.
adhered in this respect to size, mas
much as the boat l challenged with
would have been at least 76 feet on the
water line. This also conforms with the
New York Yacht clubs rules for the
class J boats. I am prepared. now that
they have declined to accept my chal-
lenge for this class of boats, to enter
ninety foot boat under the New York
Yach club rules. There is no class ex-
pressly defining such a boat but the
next class H providing for boats eighty
two foot rating is capable of producing
a boat up to about ninety-four feet on
the water line"
In explanation of this action chal-
longing under the New York Yacht
clubs new rules, Sir Thomas said:
international rule which applies to
Great Britain, France, Germany. Spain
and Portugal, is different from the rule
now existing in the United States, which
is known as the Universal rule and
which has been in use in America for
three or four years, and under which a
dozen boats have been built some of the
most famous such as the Queen, Effort
Avenger, Isthalena, Winsome and
ora well known fn
On the other hand a boat has never
been built in Great Britain under the
Universal rule so that in making my
challenge so I had pull and was not
asking any disadvantage 1t was quite the
other way. The American designers
and builders, with their experience in
building boats under the Universal
rule have. all the best of it,"
