TO HOLD a CORN CONFERENCE
The State Agricultural College Sug
gests q Sensible Move.

Manhattan, Kan. Jan. 6.-Since the
alfalfa day. was SO generally OBJ
served all over the state despite the
stormy day the Kansas State Agricul-
tural college is announcing a corn
conference" for January IS. 1870 to
$3.50 y. m. The idea is to have, not
one meeting. only. in county but as
many meetings as there are general
trading points, thus making it I'M
necessary for farmers to make special
trips to the institute simply meeting
at their usual trading towns. Corn
has been the leading subject at every
farmers institute in eastern Kansas
for over two years and now the idea
Is, to bring the discussion to certain
lines of action by or through these
conferences of thousands of farmers.
The points suggested for discus
sion are: Preparation of ground,
selection of seed, grading, testing for
termination, methods of planting.
methods of cultivation. ETC.. and boys
corn contest for 1908.
Institutes in the extreme western
counties are asked to meet on the
same day and If they do not care to
discuss corn it is suggested that they
discuss Durum wheat and Milo maize,
the latter being considered by the de-
partment of Agricultural at Washing
ton as an excellent substitute for corn
where the rainfall is twenty inches or
less.

SENT FLOWERS AND MONEY.
japanese Gifts Returned by Injured
FIremen at Vancouver.

Portland, Ore, Jan. "a special
to the Oregonian from Vancouver, B.
c., says that Chief of Police Cham ber-
lain of Vancouver has refused a de-
mand made by the Asiatic exclusion
league that the oriental quarter be
searched for fire arms and other
dangerous weapons. The chief ad-
mitted the gravity of the situation, but
urged strongly against hurrying pos
sible crisis in the japanese question by
drastic action such as the one sug-
gested. Two of the japanese under
arrest were released on $4,000 bonds
furnished by responsible Japanese.
The other two are still in Jail.
The japanese business community
sent Fire Chief Thompson a hand
some bouquet of roses to be forwarded
to the injured f1remen. The bouquet
was accompanied by check for 500
for the firemen and a letter regretting
the action of the Japanese and de-
claring that the business men were
doing all in their power to bring the
guilty parties to justice. The fire chief
returned the money and the flowers
to the japanese declaring that the
hremen who were maltreated had no
desire to accept any glrt as a con-
sideration for the injuries done them.

Alarming Shortage in Lenses.

New York, Jan. 6.-Opticians are
becoming worried over the shortage
of lenses for spectacles and eye
glasses, which are now said to be
much more difficult to obtain than
ever before. So great is the short
age that orders are greatly delayed.
All of the lenses used in this country
come from Europe in the form Of
"blanks," only the final grinding be-
ing done here. Blanks have new
err, it is said, been made in America,
but the present shortage is leading to
an agitation for the esta blishment of
factory here for their production.
Opticians believe that the present
shortage is due to a curtailment of
the product in order that the price
may be increased.

CALLSIT CHILDISH.
President Roosevelt Condemns the
Course of Admiral BroWnson.

Washington, jan 6.-President
Roosevelt's attitude on the question
of the command of hospital ships in
the navy, which resulted in the re-
signation of Rear Admiral Willard
H. Brownson and incidentally some
caustic observations on that incident,
and the controversies among the ma
val officers and their adherents as to
details of naval construction and
methods of training, were made
known today when Secretary Metcalf
gave to the press two letters from the
president, addressed to him on these
subjects.
In the first of these letters Presi-
dent Roosevelt condemns in unmeas-
ured terms the act OF Admiraf
Brownson, declaring it to be unseem-
ly and improper. The question upon
which Admiral Brownson took issue
with the navy department, the presi-
dent declares, is one on which there
can be entirely legitimate differences
OF opinion, but, he adds, there is no
room for difference of opinion as to
the gross Improperly of the admir-
ais conduct in resigning sooner than
carry out the orders of his superior
OFFICERS in such a matter. The Off
GERS of the navy must remember that
it is not merely childish, but in the
highest degree reprehensible, to per-
NIT either personal pique, wounded
vanity, or factional feeling on behalf
of some particular bureau or organ
ization to render them disloyal
to the interests of the navy and
therefore to the country as a whole"
Regarding the controversies in the
navy, the president admits there al
ways are and always will be defects
to correct, both in the construction of
ships and in the organization of the
department and in active drill of the
fleet. 1t is well, he says. that these
defects be pointed out, but it is also
we'll that they should be pointed out
without hysterical exaggeration or
malicious untruthfulness. He scath-
ingly rebukes those guilty of exploit
ing them in glossly exaggerated form
in the fancfed interest of an individ-
ual or clique of individuals or for the
sake of supplying sensational mater
ial to the newspapers. Because of so
much misrepresentation and exagger-
alton, the president has asked Sec
rotary Metcalf for a statement of the
exact facts concerning which there
have been disputes. desiring particul-
arly the opinion of Admiral Con-
verse, formerly chief of the naviga-
ton bureau, who, because of his high
professional attachments and STAN
dard of conduct and duty, the presi-
dent considers peculiarly fitted to
give judgment.

THEY WILL HELP.
Attorneys for State Temperance Union
Made Assistant Attorneys General.

John Marshall of Topeka, one of the
attorneys for the State Temperance
union, and George H. Steussi of Pitts
burg, formerly assistant attorney gen.
eral in his county under appointment
from Attorney General Coleman, were
both appointed this morning as as
sistant attorney generals to aid in the
enforcement of the DrOhibitory law in
Crawford county. Crawford county S
sheriff is now under the fire of custer
proceedings.
Dan Woolley is county attorney in
Crawford county. and within the past
three weeks has filed about 100 in
junction cases against saloons in that
county. The appointment of assistant
attorney generals is not because
Woolley's work has been entirely un-
satisfactory. but because the job of
cleaning up Crawford county is too
big for one man.
1t is expected that the county at
torney and the three assistant attor-
ney generals will divide up the county
into three districts. and each one take
charge of specific district. Craw-
ford county is a mining county, and
the job of closing the saloons is 6ne
of great difficulty and magnitude. 1t
is on the Missouri border.
The Judge of the county district
court is already busy with much liquor
litigation. A few days ago Judge Full
Ter entered judgment against about
rs liquor sellers in accordance with
an opinion rendered recently by the
supreme court.
Attorney General Jackson, who ap-
pointed the two new assistant attor-
ney generals this morning. said:
Crawford county is a very hard coun-
ty to manage because there is more
than one county attorney can do. Mr..
Woo1ley, the county attorney, has
been doing some good work recently.
and the appointment of the two as
sistants today is for the purpose of
aiding his work. There is more work
than a Judge Of the district court can
comfortably do. His docket Is always
we'll filled with general business and
when, it comes to piling up hundreds
of liquor pros ecutions, it makes very
hard work.
Rumors of Impeachment.
There were rumors today that in
case a special session of the legislature
is held an effort will be made to hold
ment proceedings against one or more
district judges in the state who have
manifested a determination to block
as far as possible the enforcement of
the prohibitory law.
There are only a few judges against
whom such charges are being made,
and they are located in districts which
are very hostile to the enforcement of
the law. 1t would probably mean po-
litical defeat for them to take any 9TH
er position from what they are taking.
A district judge can not be ousted
from office like sheriff or mayor or
county attorney. The only way to get
rid Of a delinquent district judge is to
take the case before the senate and
have him impeached and expelled
from the bench.

MAY BE MODIFIED.
City Attorney Drenning's Sunday Clos
ing Plan Likely to Be Adopted.

1t is probable that City Attorney
Drenning's sensible plan to modify the
sunday closing ordinance will be
adopted. Here is the ordinance as pro-
posed by Mr.. Drenning:
Every person who shall expose to
sale any goods wares or merchandise
or who shall keep open any store on the
first day of the week, commonly called
Sunday, shall be deemed guilty. of a
mlsdemeanor and upon conviction
thereof shall be fined in any sum not
less than three dollars and no more
than $50 for each offense. r 5-s
provided, this sentence shall not be
construed to prevent the sale of drugs
and medicines or provisions such as
ice, fresh vegetables, breads, milk or
other articles Of Immediate necessity
newspapers, periodicals., confectionery.
Ice cream, soda water, cut flowers,
cigars and tobacco; and provided fur
ther that fresh meat, fish,, oysters may
be sold before 10 a. m. on Sunday from
April 1 to October 81 of each year"
In this connection Mayor Green said
today:
I expect that there will be a modifi-
cation of the present Sunday closing
law. 1t seems rather hard that on the
hot summer days a man can't go into a
drug store and get an ice cream soda
or say dish of ice cream on Sunday
ana IL we sell ice cream on that day
why we can't draw the line on cigars
1 think majority of the council are
in favor of seeing a modification of the
ordinance. At least they were when
left Topeka
II have received quite a number of
letters from friends of mine on this
question. They all commend me for the
stand that I took. Some of them are
in favor of the ordinance as it is and
others want to see 1t modified Some of
them express themselves as being for
tightly closed Sunday but they be-
lieve if we go too far that we may
jeopardize some of the ground that We
have gained already.
THE cities in the east are keeping
the theaters closed. In Chicago the
theaters are not open on that day.
The police committee of the council
will meet with the mayor this after
noon to consult with him over. recon-
mendation to the council on Sunday
closing-this does not relate to the the
aters. The committee states that it
wants to recommend that which will
meet with the approval of the mayor
and as the latter believes that some
modification should be made it Is pos
sible that the committee may make
recommendation in favor of a modifica-
ton of the present ordinance
