HAVE Pure MILK.
Wichita Dairymen Give Up
Fight on Ordinance.
After a Long Struggle Submit
to Its Provisions.
TO PAY A so CENT FEE.
An Annual License for Each
Dairy Cow Required.
Also Sanitary Barns and FIRE.
Quent Tests of Milk.

Wichita, Kan, Jan. 6.-Wichita is to
have pure milk. Dairymen and others
who fought the passage of the pure
milk ordinance from the very start
have submitted to it's provisions.
The pure milk ordinance is being OBJ
served by practically all local dairy
men. 1t provides for close inspection
of dairy herds, sanitary barns. frequent
tests of the milk sold and an annual
license of so cents for each COW. All
milk sold in this city must stand test
for purity as provided in the ordinance.
The end of the long fight shows a big
victory for those who stood against
adulterated impure and unWholesome
dairy products.
Now the last of the dairymen have
given up their fight against paying the
annual 30 cent license fee on each COW
as required by the pure milk ordinance.
Up to date so persons have paid their
fees and received their permits to sell
milk in the city of Wichita the coming
year.
OF this number about half are dairy
men owning from 80 to so or more cows
each and the other half are persons
who own from one to 80 cows. All of
the regular dairymen save one, have
called at the city clerks Office and de-
posted a half dollar for each COW.

MAY WIN ANYWAY.
If Not, Wichita Will Not Get Orient
Shops.

Kansas City, Jan. 6.-Judge John
A. Eaton, general attorney for the
Kansas City, Mexico & Orient rail-
road, returned from Oklahoma with
other Orient officials to witness the
finish of the construction race made
to win $4,000 in bonds voted by
Sedgwick county, Kan. The Orient
lost the race.
1.-The town of Wichita voted 100000
in bonds,' said Judge Eaton, ''on
condition that shops be built in that
city before January 1, 1909. The
county voted $4,000 in bonds pay
able if the road were built and in
operation to the Texas state line by
January 1, 1908. There was a %
mile stretch to build between Dill City
and Lugert when the race started. We
built from both ends. The odds
against the construction were fearful.
There were delays in delivery of ma
terial, the water supply gave out a
bridge collapsed, and a wreck or two
made it impossible for us to win.
There was five miles left to build
when the time was up. The work
was not stopped. however. and
the line will be finished in a day or
two. Trains will be in operation from
Wichita, Kan, to the Red river with
in few days.
1--WE have no fear but that Sedg-
wick county will revote the bonds. If
not, it is not likely that the shops will
be located in wichita.

AT the Play Last Night.

Helen Byron in George AIDES Peggy
from Paris" as 1t was presented at the
Grand on yesterday afternoon and last
night Is not much to enthuse over Miss
Byron is good to look upon and dresses
in distinctive fashion but she is not
much of singer or a Coincidence.
At least she did not show much ability
along these lines at either of the per-
formances yesterday. Maybe she has
some such talents but she kept them
hidden and at times it really looked as
though she was not extending herself
to her best efforts. Then again Miss
Byron was surrounded by a company of
only mediocre ability. The chorus was
scanty in numbers and was equally
scanty as to figures and other possible
charms.
In fact the show would have been
pretty much of a failure if it had not
been fer the clever work Eddie German
as Reginald Hickey, a tough boy and
equally tough janitor; Miss Madeline
Cook as Sophie Blotz and Miss Minnie
Often as Mrs. Montague Fish Miss
Charlotte Gray as Lutte Plummer also
did some clever work. There's a faint
resemblance between her and the fam
Gus Edna May. Taken all in all the
production did not measure up to the
standard that had been expected An
interesting feature of it was the trans
formation before the eyes of the au-
dience of the opening scene picturing
the interior of hotel to the stage of
the Paragon theater. The stage hands
made the shift in almost less time than
it takes to tell about it and their work
was as heartily applauded as about any
mum Der in the production with the ex-
ception of a humorous song by Miss
Cook. She was forced to respond to a
half dozen encOres.

Hanlon's Superba PIeases.

Hanlon's Superba, which was at the
Grand on Saturday afternoon and
night, is not the same kind of a show
that it was a dozen or more years ago.
Then it consisted almost solely of Won
derfully clever pantomime and remark
able transformation scenes and stage
magic. 1t has been modernized with a
chorus and a number of singing and
speaking parts as we'll as good speciai-
ties And the old spectacles have been
frightened and freShened up so that
one would hardly be able to recognize
them. But they are quite as wonderful
and amazing as ever. Fred Hanlon,
who helped to make the piece famous.
is still in the cast and with him is am
other Hanlon of younger generation
It is likely Hanlon's Superba is one of
those theatrical productions which viii
last until the end Of time. It's to be
hoped so, for it has its place in the
theatrical armament and a show season
would hardly be complete with it among
the missing.

FORWARD PASS TO STAY.
intercollegiate Delegates Refuse tC
Eliminate Football Play. =

New York, Jan. .6.-The most i'm
portant event of the past week in gen
eral athletics was tAe second annual
meeting of the intefkolle giate athletic
associations of the United States in
this city There was fine representa-
ton from all over the country and
questions affecting intercollegiate
sports were discussed and in some
cases acted upon.
One of the most important actions
taken was undoubtedly the decision
that the forward pass should not be
eliminated from football. That this
play will be modified in some respects
to meet the objections or some Of the
larger colleges is altogether probable,
but the play will be retained. This is
as it should be. They are objections
to the play which are legitimate, but
on the whole it adds to the interest of
the game and gives freer play to
brains as against Drawn.

Attorney General Bonaparte
Scores Santa Fe President
For His Utterances in Regard
to Rebate Trials.
A BITTER CENSURE.
: Ripley, However, Makes State
ment Regarding Letter.
Other Items CT Interest in
Railway Circles.

Washington, Jan. "a sweeping de-
NAL of the charges by officers and coun-
sci and more particularly by President
Ripley of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa
Fe railway upon the government and
the court in connection with the filming
OF that road S330,000 for granting re-
bates contained in a letter from At
forney General Bonaparte to President
Roosevelt has been made public
The charges are denounced as I'M
rounded and unjustifiable and in so far
as Mr.. Ripley's statements affecting the
trial judge are concerned, it is stated
they constitute ''unwarrantable ref1ec-
ttons upon a judicial officer respecting
the discharge of his duties
Mr.. Rip1ey's statement is quoted at
length and in 1t he alleges that the
Santa Fe investigation was general
inquisition,' that proceedings were
frivolous and vexatious and originated
in i'll will towards the company"
The attorney general concludes his
letter as follows:
1T has been the consistent policy of
the department to discharge and so
far as possible prevent newspaper con-
troversies between its subordinates and
those whose enmity they might incur
through the faithful discharge of their
public duties, and it's course in this in
stance has been in accordance with this
policy. But 1 feel it my duty in clos
Ing this report to say that the charges
maQe Dy the OHlcerS and counsel of this
corporation against the United States
attorney in connection with the mat
tiers appear to have been unfounded
and unjustif1able. The comments and
suggestions contained in Mr. Ripley's
letter regarding the judge who tried
and sentenced his corporation constf-
tute unwarrantable reflections upon a
judicial officer respecting the discharge
of his duties as such which are wholly
indefensible, both in form and sub
stance and deserve the condemnation
of all citizens solicitous to protect the
dignity and independence of our
courts"
Santa Barbara, Cal. Jan. 6.-After
reading the concluding paragraph OF
Attorney General Bonaparte's letter
President Ripley of the Santa Fee gave
the following signed statement to the
Associated Press:
mot having seen the full text of the
alleged letter of Mr.. Bonaparte, 1 car
not now reply to it in detail 1t seem
ed to me that a very great Injustice
was done to the company of which
am the responsible head. 1 was beins
asked by the press and by many of oul
stockholders for the facts 1 gave 9
correct history of the case and I en-
deavored not to be disrespectful to the
court or the district attorney. I do moi
understand that the secretary disputes
my statement of fact, and 1 feel quite
confident that those who read it will
not generally agree with his conclu
stems"

CAN DIVIDEND BE MAINTAINED?
Decrease in Earnings on Santa Fe
Make 1t Improbable.

Make 1t Improbable.
The November statement of earn
ings of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa
Fe railroad brought out squarely the
question as to whether that company
can maintain its per cent dividend
on the common stock. The roads
gross earnings increased S69,853 in
November, showing a remarkable
in the face of general financial trou-
bles, but there was decrease of ST.
222,943 in net earnings for the
month, following a slightly larger de-
crease in October. In five months
the gross earnings increased $685.
600 and the net decreased $3,497, 900,
showing an average monthly increase
in operating expenses of $1,300.000.
OF this sum $4,000 monthly is ac-
, counted for by new depreciation and
equipment accounts not heretofore in
cluded in operating expenses. When
the October statement was published
President Ripley said: Roughly
speaking about one-half the increase
in expenses might be classed as I'M
usual and temporary and the other
half is likely to continue" If the
Atchison company should show as
much as Il million decrease in net
earnings monthly in the next seven
months it will fail to earn per cent
on the common stock for the current
fiscal year. Such a showing for SO
! important a road gives good reason
for uneasiness regarding the income
of railroad stockholders.
