THE CALHOUN STATUE.-If the ef-
fort of placing a statue Of John C..
Calhoun in the Capitol at Washington
shall succeed we would like to sug-
gest that a competent artist be found
to do the work, some man who knows
the history of the country, some art
ist who is familiar with the character
of the great South Carolinian, and
we know of no one better qualified for
this special service than Valentine,
the great Virginia sculptor, who has
done so much work that entities him
to the confidence of the Southern peo-
pie and the respect of all artistic
minds. II he had made nothing but
the recumbent statue of Robert E.
Lee at Lexington he would have
achieved lasting distinction for him.
self. If the state is to honor itself by
placing a memorial in the Capitol at
Washington we trust that the COM
mission appointed to look after the
making of the memorial will not be
satisfied with any cheap design or an
unsym pathetic artist.-News and
Courier.

BACK AT WAGGENER.
Attorneys for Railroad Board Make a
Reply.

In a brief of CT pages, the attor-
neys for the state board of railroad
commissioners come back TO-DAY at
Bale P. Waggener, attorney for the
Missouri Pacific, in the life and death
struggle which is now on between the
board and the Missouri Pacific
The states brief was written by A.
E. Helm of Wichita, though 1t is
signed by both Mr.. Helm and S. S.
Ashbaugh, former attorney for the
board. Mr.. Helm does not indulge in
any linguistic fireworks, but he seems
to have packed an immense quantity
of law into his 81 pages. The book IS
devoted largely to citations, rather
than to argument.
Mr., Waggener's brief, of about 175
pages, in which he attacked the board
was rather dramatic in spots, and he
handed it out to the board in sensa-
tional manner. Mr.. Helms brief goes
to the other extreme, and is barren Of
oratorical climaxes.
In discussing the claim so strongly
urged by Mr.. Waggener that the board
of railroad commissioners of Kansas is
an unconstitutional body, Mr.. Helm
says:
s'The constitution of Kansas makes
no reference to board of railroad
commissioners, but Mr.. Justice Valen-
tine, in the opinion just quoted, has
laid the Foundation for a railroad com
mission in the state of Kansas. Mr..
quoted has laid the foundation for an
Interstate commerce commission un-
der the constitution of the United
States. Neither the constitution of the
United States nor the constitution OF
Kansas mention such a board. Mr.
Justice Brewer has designated the ex-
act board that can be created unGer
the United States constitution, and
the Interstate commerce commission
has been held to be a constitutional
body. Mr.. Justice Valentine, in the
opinion quoted, has said that the pow
er to make the laws rests in the legis-
lature and cannot be delegated, but
the power to fill in the details of those
general laws may be delegated to
commission. This under such con-
stitution as that of Kansas and under
such a constitution as that of the
United States is just what these COM
missions do. The legislative branches
of these governments make the laws,
and these commissions fill out the de-
tails, and in that sense of the word
are administrative bodies performing
administrative functions under legfs-
lative authority. Hence, they belong
to the legislative branch of the gov
ernment. and are not unconstitutional
by virtue. of usurning the lawmaking

PASSENGER on tho Columbia

Eureka. Cal, July 23.-Only one
boat from the wrecked steamer Col
umbia landed at Shelter Cove and not
three, according to the first reports
which were received here The per-
sons in 1T were taken to Briceland and
from there to Garberville, in the
southern end of this county where to-
day those who have no relatives here,
brought by the George Elder will so
overland to San Francisco. In the
boat which reached the shore at
Shelter Cove were Mrs Lewis of Pas
adena, who was drowned, and an un-
known dead man presumed to be a
sailor. Their bodies reached this city
last night on a special train. The sur
vivors in the boat were:
3. 3. Kriever of Prescott Ia; ia
cob Kuro, Coldwater. Kan; Armand
Cadorette, New Bedford. Mass; Da-
vfd Boston, fireman on Colum bia;

also been set aside a large portion of
the ground for the purposes of a scrap
pile in which the old iron which is of
no further use in the repairing of cars
will be discarded and used Cor other
purposes. Another long strip OF
ground has been set aside for the de-
struction of old condemned cars which
are of no further use to the railroad
company.
1t is thought that when the pro-
posed extensions are fully materia liZed
that there will be four thousand peo-
pie employed in the Santa Fe shops.
which means that large portion of
the Topeka Inhabitants are dependent
on the Santa Fe for the sustenance.
The new shops will be fitted up for
their various uses in much the same
fashion that the old shops are. Com
pressed air tubes run through all the
buildings and this power Will be used
in great many different ways.
Portable tracks are also fixed which
will facilitate the work of handling the
cars to be repaired.
A new feature of the newly con-
structed shops is the antiseptic sewer
system. This will be constructed on
the same plans which are now in use
in a couple of other places on the
Santa Fe system and which have
shown that their worth has passed be-
yond the experimental stage. A large
reservoir and tank has been construct
ed into which everything of waste in
the shops will be turned. Those re-
ceptacIes will be alright and dark
which will permit Of chemical reac-
ton and artificial treatment with the
result that germs are completely re-
moved every four hours.
The construction of the new shops
necessitated the moving of the main
line to the south side of the old main
line. The sharp curve in the track
where the turn was made to the south
on Holiday street has been partially
Strengthened.
Ali of this work and construction of
new buildings represents the expendi-
ture of hundreds and thousands of dol
lars every cent of which as far as
possible has been spent within the city
of Topeka, for labor and material
which has contributed greatly to the
industrial and material prosperity Of
the city.
When within the next two or three
weeks the new shops will be running
full blast the additions to the pay roll
which will be required by the increase
of over six hundred men in the total
number of employees will prove big
item in the amount of money paid
into the city and will contribute great
lv to the local circulation and general
prosperity.

STRIKE ON ROCK ISLAND.
Garments Union Goes Out at Moline,
Rock Island and Davenport.

Chicago, July 23.-The Railroad
Garments union, comprising car re-
pairers, carpenters. painters. cleaners
and -laborers. declared a strike yester-
day against the Rock Island lines, and
ESQ men employed in the repair shops
at Moline, Rock Island and Daven-
port stopped work until one of their
number is reinstated with full pay
from the time he was discharged to
date of reinstatement.
The men employed in the repair
shops had been in the habit of being
ready to leave the shops when the
whistle announced time to stop work.
In order to accomplish this it was
necessary for them to stop work ten
minutes earlier in order to wash up.
The company posted rules forbidding
the practice on penalty of discharge.
A painter al East Moline was found
washing up ten minutes before the
hour for stopping work and was dis
charged. He reported it to the grfev-
ance committee of the union, which in
turn held conference with the rail-
road executives demanding the rein
statement of the discharged man, with
full pay for the time he was off duty.
The executives were willing to give the
man another chance. but refused to
give him full pa- for the time he
was off.

ORCHARD RESUMES
Recalled to be Prepared for Impeach. ment and Then Redirectly
 Examined by State.
IHCAIMINATlNG LETTERS INTRODUCED
The Purpose of the Defence is to Show That Conspiracy Existed Be. tween Witness and Haywood te Deceive Mrs. Orchard of Cripple Creek-PoInt for State.

Boise, Idaho, June 19.-With Harry Orchard recalled to the stand, first to be formally prepared by the de fense for impeachment, and then tc be re-directly examissd, the state produced Tuesday morning number of letters written by the witness and one by the prisoner Haywood, the purpose of which was to show that there had been conspiracy to de ceiye Mrs. Orchard of Cripple Creek, as to the whereabouts of Orchard in the spring and summer of 1905.
 The defense vigorously protested against the introduction of the mat. ter on redirect examination but the court ruled that if itwas improper on redirect he would permit the state to reopen it's examination.
 Orchard swore that Haywood said in the spring of 1905 that Mrs. Or chard was repeatedly writing to him as to Orchards whereabouts and Orchard suggested that he write her a series of letters, date them at San Francisco and have them delivered through agents of the Western Fed. eration of Miners. Two were thus written and the state producing them, secured their admission. Then one was written, dated at Nome Alaska, and given to Marion Moore then an organizer for the Western Federation of Miners, to take to Alaska and mail The state produced the letter and over objections, secnr ing it's admission.
 Next the state produced letter written by Haywood himself to Mrs Orchard showing that the prisoner had knowledge of the Alaska story and this too, was admitted in eyi dence
 Orchard also testified that the re plies of Mrs. Orchard were sent t him through Haywood.
 The impeaching questions pro pounded by the defense all indicated a purpose by the defense to show that at various times Orchard threat ened to kill Steunenberg because O a desire to be revenged for the los' of his interest in the Hercules mine
