IS NOT
ON THE GANG SLATE
Young Lawyer is to be Turned
Down for Prosecuting
Attorney.

John Hamrick Is electioneering for
the Democratic nomination for. prose-
cutting attorney. The. Telegram is
frank with Mr.. Hamfick. II. Knows
that he is not going to get it. The
gang does not have him on the slate
and with that fact known to him, he
may as we'll lay down.
The gang has it well into It's cram
ium that 1t is. going to nominate
fancy Harrison and as last re-
sort either David j. Carter or r. s
Douglass. Harrison is the choice
and, though he has not let the Dem
ocratic newspaper know, 1t officially.
there is every sign that he is after 1t,
unless his business is such that he
cannot accept 1t the same as he could
not accept the nomination for mayor
of the city.
1t is all planned to nominate him,
II possible, but If not then Carter or
Douglass. The gang has good deal
to deal with, especially, their country
brethren, who are not altogether dis
posed to agree to every dictation OF
the gang.
At all events, the Telegram will be
able to tell its readers that I'VE told
you so," however much Mr.. Hamrick
may be deserving of the empty honor
of nomination.

X. U.-WASHBURN DEBATE
1t VIII Take Place Tonight at Col
Iege Chapel.

The second of a series of two an
nual debates between Washburn col
lege and the University of Kansas will
occur tonight at McVicar chapel.
Great interest is attached to this con-
test because of the rivalry of the
schools and because of the issues at
stake in the question. The question
for debate is: Resolved: That Kansas
should grant women the same suf
frage rights as men. The discussion
tonight is sure to attract the interest
of the advocates of womans suf-
frage rights as men," The discussion
which the decision of the question
will turn tonight will be followed
with bated breath by interested citi-
Zens of Topeka and other points. The
Washburn team will uphold the mega
tive, which is the side of the ques-
ton chosen by the Washburn De-
batting league. The members of the
Washburn teams are Merrill Temple
ton, o. V. Preston and L. M. Camp
bell. Mr.. O.. V. Preston is a student
in the Biblical and Christian training
department. The other two members
Of the team are sophomores in the
college of liberal arts. Last years de-
| bate between these schools was on
the question of municipal ownership.
The Washburn team argued for pri-
| vate ownership and won the debate.
An admission of twenty-five cents will
be charged tonight to those not hold
Ing student enterprise tickets.

Sprinkler Equipment at the
Allis Chalmers Plant
Prevents Destruction of the
Property by Fire.
WORK OF FIRE BUGS.
They Enter Pattern Shop by the
Fire Escape
Carrying Gallon Cans of Gaso-
line in Three Valises.

Milwaukee, Wis. April 24.-The
Sentinel today says:
A desperate attempt was made early
yesterday morning to destroy the Allis-
Cnaimers plant at West Allis, or at
least to stop its operation for a time.
All that saved the big plant from
heavy loss was the automatic sprinkler
equipment. which extinguished tho
flames before they had gained much
headway.
The attack was directed on the pat
tern shop, the most vital part OF the
plant. With patterns destroyed work
would have to come to a standstill un-
I'll others could be prepared From
this It appears the attempt was the
work OF men who are well acquainted
with the workings of the plant.
The determination of those back of
the plot is shown by the fact that they
mad with them a dozen one gallon
cans OF gasoline which were brought
to the plant in three telescopes. From
the appearance of the shop a prema-
ture explosion of the oil scared the
Wreckers awav before their prepara-
ttons were completed. They left on
the fire escape, by means of which they
gained entrance to the building, leav-
ing the telescopes filled with the cans
of gasoline, one of the cases being
about emptied Of its contents.
Allis-Cha1mers company officials last
night admitted that there had been an
attempt to set fire to the pattern shop,
and were inclined to minimize the

LIGHT RAIN FALLS.
Barometer Drops to Lowest Point ON
Record Here.

Disagreeable weather has prevailed
in Topeka all day, numerous light
showers having fallen though the pre-
cipitation at 2 o'clock amounted to
only a fraction more than .01 of an
inch. This condition will probably
prevail during the forepart of the
night though tomorrow is expected to
be fair and cooler.
That rheumatic, growly, indisposed
sensation which you have probably ex-'
perienced at intervals during the past
IL hours is caused by a storm center
which is supposed to be directly over
the city. At noon today the barometer
at the weather station measured a.
pressure of 2S.4 which is the minimum
for this station for the past five years
at any rate and no record Of lower
pressure has been made.
This storm area is caused by a dis
turbance which occurred in the far
northwest yesterday and which was re-
sponsible for a number of small cy-
clones and windstorms in that section
Of the country. 1t has gradually
moved towards Kansas and is high in
the air and while it affects the tenn
peratures of this locality, there Is no
danger that any damage will be done
in this part of the country. The wind
has blown all day from the west at the
rate of eight miles an hour. The fol-
lowing were the temperatures since

OPENED BY ROOT.
Meeting of the International Law
Society at Washington.

Washington, April 24.-The Inter
national Law society opened its ses-
sion here today. Secretary Root.
president of the society, opened the
meeting with an address on "Sanc-
tions of International Law" in which
he took occasion to discuss in a most
interesting manner the developing
force Of public opinion in interna-
tional affairs. He said in part:
international opinion is the con-
sensus of individual opinion in the
nations. The most certain way to
promote obedience to the law Of ma
tions and to substitute the power of
opinion for the power of armies and
navies is, ON the one hand. to fos-
ter that decent respect for the
opinions of mankind which found
place in the government declara-
ton of 1776, and on the other hand
to spread among the people of every
country, just appreciation of inter-
national rights and duties and
knowledge of the principles and rules
of international law to which national
conduct ought to conform; SO that
the general opinion whose approvai
or condemnation supplies the sanction
for the law may be sound and just
and worthy of respect"

General Nogi and his veterans were greatly needed at Mukden. and there is belief that they turned the tide of battle in the great battle fought there.
 But the truth is, the bureaucracy needed a seapegoat and it made Up a court to furnish one. It's graft and other misdeeds are to |, hidden under the charge that Stoesset did it. So the old soldier has been convicted. Moth ing more palpably mean has occurred in Russia. Stoessel is not native Russian. He is a German, and he IS broken in health and fortune. The bureaucracy now returning to power found little difficulty in securing his conviction, and it is deereed that he shall go to prison, there to die igno- miniously. But his stubborn defense of Port Arthur under discouraging con- ditions will be written correctly in history.
