Washington, December 3-P. eJi- !
dent Roosevelt's last annual MESSAGE
TO congress Is now known to be prac-
tically finished. and thcse who have
had opportunity to glance at its con-
tents declare that it is a veritable
classic and will take rank as one of
the most important state papers ever
written by a president OF the United
States. 1t has been the presidents
ambition to make this message a
summary and faithful register of
his administration. and he has spent
many months stri ing to accomplish
his effect.
Aside from it's literary merits, its
unusual clarity and It's summing up
Ct past history. the message will adj
yocate many measures OF practical
reform. In this respect it will be
qrlte up to the standard set by The
pre- sident in past messages.
Much attention will be paid in the
message to questions of economic re-
form in which labor is deeply in
terested. One of the most striking
features will be the recommendation
of an amendment to the Sherman an
thrust law eyemptirg labor organi-
cations from its provisions and the
passage of an ant!-iniunction law
along the lines proposed Last year.
Under a recent supreme court de-
! ci"ion in the Danbury hatters' case,
labor unions conducting boycott
come within the conspiracy clause.
Whether the president will push his
fight for a larger navy by recommend
ing the annual construction of four
monster battleships has not been de-
cided. He will at any rate ask for

Additional fortlfcatiors for the
l Philippines and for seacoast defenscs

LOCAL DRUGGISTS
SOMEWHAT WORRIED
indictments Returned By Grand Jury
Have Set Them to Thinking.

Local druggists are just now wor-
led over the question of what to do
bout keeping open their places of
,a.uess on Sunday, the recent grand
jury having indicted every druggist
n Ha'tiesb - for a violation of the

The law permits a druggist to keep

Ne filling of prescriptions, but not

permitted to open at all.
The indictment of the druggists by
the grand jury does not appear to dis

To Fight White PLAGUE
IS PURPOSE Of MEETING

Kansas is relatively less than in most
states.
Yet the disease is sufficiently prev
alent in Kansas to render its statistics
most alarming and to incite every
lover of his kind of the exercise of
every possible precaution to prevent
its spread, and the application Of
every known remedy to relieve its
distress. In no field of medical re-
search has there been more gratifying
progress in recent years than in this
one.
1T Is now known that tuberculosis
IL an infectious disease and therefore
always a preventsble one. The old
theory that it Is hereditary has been
practically abandoned. The POSSIBLE
ity of its cure in many cases former
ly thought incurable is now also recog-
nized.
THE task. therefore, is hopeful
one and certainly worthy of the best
effort of the best minds and the best
hearts in Kansas"

as to what course they should pur.
sue in the future.
1t is possible that the several drug
sists of the city may have a meeting
to discuss the matter and to decide
what action they will take, if any.
1t cannot be denied that if the drug
gists of the city should decide that it
wouldn't pay them to open at all on
Sundays they can cause lot of trou-
BILE. If they should demand that all
laws be enforced on the Sabbath, peo-
pie would find some strange things
happening. 1t might be difficult for a
man to get a cigar, a chew of tobac-
co, or buy Sunday paper.
Most of the druggists who have been
asked about the matter are not dis
posed to discuss it now, but one drug
gist said 1t was his purpose to fol-
low the law, and not sell anything but
medicine on Sundays.

Great POWERS
! IN CONFERENCE
Code Of Laws for Naval War
fare Under Discussion.
TEN COUNTRIES REPRESENTED

Admiral Charles n. Stockton and Pro-
fessor George Grafton Wilson of
Brown University Are Delegates
from This Nation-United States
Great Britain and Japan Agree in
Principle on the Most Important
Proposals Before the Conference.
London, Dec. 4.-The conference Of
the powers called By Great Britain for
the framing of a code of laws for
naval warfare and for the formation Of
the international prize court recon-
mended by The Hague congress was
opened at the foreign Office. At the
request of the British government the
powers which accepted invitations
have forwarded a list of subjects to
be discussed.
The United States, Great Britain,
France, Germany, Italy, Austria-Hun-
gary, Russia, Spain, Holland, and
Japan are represented.
The American Delegates.
The American delegates are Rear
Admiral Charles H. Stockton and Pro-
fessor Grafton Wilson of Brown uni
versity.
The United States, Great Britain,
and Japan are agreed in principle at
least on the most important proposals,
and they may be expected to work in
accord, with the probable support of
France.
Great Britain stands alone in sup
porting the rights of a belligerent to
search neutral merchantmen proceed
ing to an enemy's port under the es-
cort of a warship flying the same flag.
Great Britain also wants to abolish
contraband entirely; America and
Japan do not go so far, but they
would agree if only munitions of war
should be declared contraband.
Seizure of Blockade Runners.
Great Britain, America and Japan
agree on the methods of blockading,
contending for the right to seize block
ade runners at any time or place. This
is opposed to the continental view
that only warships actually engaged in
blOckading have the right to seize YES
sells.
The right of belligerent ships to coal
in neutral ports also has divided the
conference into two factions America,
Great Britain, Japan and France con-
tend that a ship should make but one
visit to a neutral port and be given
only sufficient coal to carry it to a
home port. The other powers, how
ever, hold that ship should be al
lowed to visit a neutral port and fill
up with coal as often as it can.

TARIFF BOARD
Wisconsin Man Appears Before
House Committee Today.
BACKS VIEWS OF VAN CLEAVE

Chairman of the Tariff Body of the
National Association of Manufacture
ers Believes Preliminary Work on
Revision Should Be Put into the
Hands of an Able Commission
Ways and Means Committee Seeks
Power to Summon Witnesses.
Washington, Dec. 5.-H. E. Miles, Of
Racine, Wis, chairman of the tariff
committee of the National Association
of Manufacturers, appears today before
the ways and means committee of the
house. He will appear, however, as
an individual and not as a representa-
tive of the association.
Mr.. Miles is one of the largest in
dependent manufacturers of agricul-
tural implements, carriages and wag-
ons in the country.
Agrees with Van CIeave.
Mr.. Miles agrees with President Van
CIeace, of the National Association of
Manufacturers, that in some form the
preliminary work of changing the
tariff schedules must be put into the
hands of board or committee of men
who shall go to the bottom Of things,
as he believes the ways and means
committee cannot do unless its mem
bers forego their other duties and in
that way become a special commit
tee.
Mr.. Miles says that this means moth
ing else than the tariff commission
which the manufacturers are asking
for. He asserts that great progress
has been made during the past few
weeks in demonstrating the utter
futility and inadequacy of the old
method. Z
Seeks Power of Congress.
Chairman Serene E. Payne, Of
the house committee on ways and
means has been authorized to offer a

tives when congress eonvenes which

PULLMAN FREE
SCHOOL HALTS
Funds VIII Be Allowed to AC-
Cunulate More Interest.
UNWISE TO RUSH BUILDING

Director Mitchell Intimates it May BE
Several Years Before the Structure
Is Started-Site Comprising Forty
Acres Purchased a Few Days Ago at
Cost of o,ooo-SchooI When
Finished To Be One of the Best of
Its Kind.
Chicago, Dec. 4.-The funds for the
Pullman Free School of Manual Train
ing at Pullman will be allowed to &C.
cumulate interest some time longer be-
fore the building is erected, as pro-
vided in the will of George M. Pullman,
according to ]. j. Mitchell, one of the
directors.
This means that the purchase of a
site, accomplished several days ago,
will not be followed by the immediate
construction Of the building. This
plan is being followed out so that the
school eventually may have a larger
endowment with which to work than
would be possible if the trustees
rushed ahead at once and put up a
building and engaged an Institutional
force.
Present Funds $1,2o0,000.
"It may be several years before the
building is erected" said Mr.. Mitchell.
"The sum. originally left to the school
was $1,000,0O0, and the funds on hand
at the present time amount to about
$1,2OO,OOO.
"The trustees felt that it would be
unwiSe to rush ahead at the present
time with building operations when
the fund has had little opportunity to
grow. 1t is carefully secured, and can
be used for no other purpose"
Site Covers Forty Acres.
The site, which has been bought at
a cost of 100000, consists of forty
acres at the corner of One Hundred
and Eleventh street and Indiana ave-
nue., and it is proposed eventually to
erect a large manual training school,
free to the young people of the sur
rounding towns and cities, which will
be one Of the most complete Of it's
kind in the country.
The other directors besides Mr..
Mitchell are Congressman Frank O..
Lowden, Norman B. Ream, Robert T.
Lincoln, John S. Runnels, John NJ.
