States Ia the additional cost of main.
tainlng 10000 soldiers In the islands
over what 1t would be to maintain
the same number OF soldlers in the
United States. This has been figured
out and. roughly stated. amounts to
about $3.50 man. or sS,000.000 to-
gether with the maintenance of 1000
philippines scouts at cost OF $500 a
man or in all &2.000.0o0, which makes
n total annual expenditure of s5,000,.
600. The United States at present
attributes something. perhaps 5000.
600 to the expenses OF the coast sur.
vey OF the islands. With th!s excep.
tion. there IL not one cent expended
from the Treasury of the United
States for the maintenance OF the
government In tho islands. Tho adj.
ditional cost of the $4,000 men In
the iaands. figured about at $3.50 a

tation and the additional cost of food

From time to time there has been
quito severe criticism Of tho present
Philippine govessanent on the ground
that 1t Is such an expensive govern.
ment as to be bmrdensomo to the pep.
pie. Tho facts are that the taxes
which fall upon the common people
arc much less than they ever were
under the Spanish regime. Tho taxes
which fall upon the wealthy are con.
siderably more. because as matter
of fact the Spanish system OF taxa.
ton was largely devised for the pur.
pose of avoiding taxation of the

Hello LIKE A WISE.
Electric Current Passes Through Ray
Challand on Street Car.

Ray Challand of 1879 Mulvane
street, young man who is employed
in the Santa F'e storehouse as clerk.
had a narrow escape from electrocu-
ton at lis this afternoon. while rid
ing down town on a Washburn car.
AS the car turned onto Tenth from
Jackson. the current was short
circuited in some manner, owing to
the rain or the wood and iron work
of the car. Challand, who was stand
ing on the rear platform, grasped the
upright iron back brace on the back
of the car. and received a shock
which knocked him down. A passen-
ger who saw him fall. attempted to
raise him to his feet, but could not
loosen his grasp from the iron bar.
Challand was not unconscious. but
paralyZed. One arm and one leg
were drawn out of shape and one side
of his face was twisted. The passen-
ger. whose name is not known. showed
remarkable presence OF mind. and
with one sweep of his arm. yanked
the trolley rope and cut off the cir
cult.
Conductor Kinney. in charge of the
car. claimed that it was impossible to
receive jolt through the frame work
OF the car. but the passengers who
witnessed the affair think differently,
and Challand probably does too.
When the trolley was pulled from the
wire. Challand's grip on the iron rod
relaxed. and he fell to the floor The
jolt was of sufficient force to prevent
Challand from continuing on his way
to his work. He was taken from the
car at Eighth avenue, and physician
called to attend him. In a few min
utes he recovered sufficiently to talk
He said that he was not unconscious
at any time, but could not speak be-
cause he seemed to be paraNzed on
one side. and that he made a strong
effort to release his fingers from the
iron brace.

new EDISON RATES.
Increase for Consumers Whose Bills
Are Less Than $40 Monthly.

The Edison company is readjusting
its rates and the small commercial
consumers will pay more. The follow
ing statement by the company should
be read carefully by all users of cleo
tricity in the city before arriving at
conclusions:
When we came into control of the
Edlson company about three wears
ago we found many consumers of the
same class paying different rates. some
OF winch were too low. but almost all
or which were too high, and we at
once set about to work out a uniform
scale or rates-one that would be fair
! ankle to each class of consumers. and
after careful consideration we fixed
upon a net rate of cents per kilowatt
hour for residence use and : cents
per kilowatt hour for commercial use
An experience of more than two
years with these rates has proven that
In the main they have worked out
satisfactorily both to the consumer
ana 70 US, but owing to the increased
cost of fuel, wages, taxes and in fact
almost every essential to the business.
we hnd that We are serving one class
or commercial consumers at a distinct
loss, and that there are enough such
consumers to make it necessary tina,
some new but equitable rate should
pc established. We have therefore de-
clded that the following rates shall
be effective for September bills:
Consumption per month in kilowatt
hours: l to 20 hours, az C; 20 to 100,
&c; 100 to $50, TIC; $50 to 200,
p C. A discount of one-haIf cent per
hour will be granted on prompt paw
ment for service
THE present rate of n cents gross.
with u cent discount making a net
rate of cents. will still apply to all
consumers using 200 kilowatt hours
per month.
THE present rate of Il cents gross,
with 1a cent discount making a net
rate of cents, will still apply for
electric elevator service
The present rate of 10 cents gross
with 1 cent discount. making a net
rate of cents, will still apply to all
residence consumers.
In other words, no consumers
| whatever will be affected by this
change except those commercial con-
sumers whose bills have been less
than SO per month.
IF you are interested in knowine
whether YOU are in the class affected
by this change. and will call at our of
| flee, we will be glad to confer with you
and If this is not possible call us uI
and we Will come to see you. We are
not attempting to bring about a gener-
al increase of rates but are merely
trying to bring the charges to certain
classes of consumers in line with the
charges to other consumers. after ar
experience of more than two years in
justification thereof. Yours very truly

NO SORE SPOTS ON AUSTIN.
Intends to Try For State Printer Of
fee Again.

w. c. Austin, of Cottonwood Falls.
late candidate for state printer, is in
Topeka today talking with the politi-
clans about the addition of plank to
the Republican platform providing for
state publication of blank books fof
county offices.
ct shall have a plank of this sort
ready by the time the party council
meets" said Mr.. Austin, land will
urge its adoption. 1t is matter in
which the counties are greatly inter
ested, because they all spend a vast
amount OF money in blank books. We
need a uniform system of accounting
in Kansas. in all county offices. so that
the same books can be used in all Of
fees. We should also have a more uni
form system of accounting in our state
institutions, and the state should print
the blank books for them all.
"In order to do this work. an addi-
ton would be required to the state
printing plant The plant is already
working to the limit of its capacity,
and it would be necessary to make
considerable additions to the bindery.
1 figure that it would take about SIS
900 worth of machinery to enable the
state to print its own blank books. and
in addition to this the cost of the adj
dition to the building. Possibly $780,
900 would cover the expense, and the
saving would amount to many thous-
ands of dollars year..
There are no sore spots on Mr.. Aus
tin as a result of his defeat for the
nomination. He says he will be can
didate for the same office two years

Must Return TO Kansas Says
Governor Hoch.
for RequisitiOn Is
Granted Today.
THE CHARGE is LIBEL
Mrs. Ella q. Burton the Com,
planning Witness.
Former Superintendent Ar
rested in Kansas City, Mo.

At 2:30 o'clock this afternoon, Gov
ernor Hoch announced that he would
grant the requisition on the Governor
of Missouri for the return to Kansas
of Insley L. Dayhoff. former state SUI
perintendent of public instruction, who
is wanted by Sheriff Wilkerson of
Shawnee county to answer to the
charge of criminal libel, preferred by
Mrs. Ella s. Burton.
This action was taken after hear
ing in the governors office which last
ed for over an hour this forenoon.
1t is understood that Mr.. Dayhoff
will now make a fight before Governor
Folk in an effort to prevent Govern or
Folk from honoring the requisition of
the governor of Kansas.
Governor Hoch made no extended
explanation of his reasons for granting
the requisition. He simply stated that
it was customary, except in case of an
extraordinary showing to the contrary,
to grant acquisitions. He held that
there had been no extraordinary show
ing why the requisition should not be
granted.
Some have contended that Governor
Hoch would be Influenced by personal
grant the requisition. Mr.. Dayton
was, to a certain extent, defending
Governor Hoch from the attacks of
Mrs. Burton, when he published the
article which forms the basis for the
criminal action.
Dayhoff is at present in Kansas City.
where he Is working in the advertising
department of the Kansas City Star.
There were two questions checked
up to Governor Hoch in the Dayhoff
case which required his solution.
The first was whether Dayhoff was
=
whether the criminal prosecution for
libel was for the purpose of enabling
Mrs Ella S. Burton to collect her
$4,000 judgment for civil libel.
In the argument of the case this
morning, some sensational statements
were made. indicating that Mrs. Bur-
ton was DESTROYS of dragging the
American Book company into the
controversy.
c. A Magaw, attorney for Mr.. Day
hoff said: After Mrs. Burton had Sc
cured her judgment against Mr.. Day
representative of his wife, and wanted
letter to Mr.. Dayhoff, SO that she
might go to Mr.. Dayhoff in Kansas
City and try to get him to tell where
he got his information which he
printed. She seemed to think that the
American Book company was respon-
sible, and 1 judged was willing to
compromise the judgment or do al
most anything to get the name of the
party she wanted"
In reply to this, James A. Trout
man, who represented Mrs. Burton
said: MRS. Burton believes that the
attack in Dayhoff's paper was in
spired by the American Book COM
pany as part of the campaign OF
persecution which that company had
tilted that the libellous item had been
made against her. Mr.. Dayhoff tes-
sent to him through the mail. but de-
clined to state who had sent it. Mrs
Burton wanted to find out who sent
that item, and she asked me, after the
civil case was decided, if it would be
all right for her to talk to Dayhof1
about the matter. 1 advised her to &C
and see Mr.. Magaw, the attorney for
Davhoff Mrs. Burton assured me
