TOPEKA THREATENED.

Topeka, June 12.-North Topeka is
threatened with another flood. The
river has risen today from 1873 feet
to 21.3 feet. a bulletin issued bv the
local weather bureau at p. m. says:
"Uniformally heavy rains ranging from
one TO two inches have fallen in the
Kaw valley. and present outlook is
that the river at Topeka will rise two
feet in the next thirty-siX or forty
eight hours. Unsettled weather condi-
tions prevail today and showers are
forecasted for this part of the state
tonight"
The rise already forecasted will put
the river above the flood stage and
more rains would make the situation
serious. The feed waters of the Kan
sas river are rising rapidly. The Re
publican river at Junction City has
risen : feet since Yesterday. and the
Smoky Hill over 3 feet Conditions
along the Smoky Hill bottoms are re
ported worse than in 1904 At Man
haitian. the Blue rose over feet today
and is still rising.

BARTNEH'S CONTROL
OF WRECKED BANK
Evidence Tending to Show His Direc-
ton of the Disposition of the Cotton
Securities.

San Francisco, June 12.-Spiritual
advice given by the shades of such
great financiers as Jay Gould and Col
lis p. Huntington, was what deferred
Walter J. Bartnett from going itno
the Lake county scheme of ]. DalZell
Brown and caused the first open rup-
ture of the friendly relations of these
two officials and wrecked the Califor-
mia Safe Deposit and Trust company
according to the testimony given by
Brown today. And now that Bartnett
is on trial charged with embezzlement
of the Cotton securities Brown is testi-
flying against his former associate.
Brown was manager of the institu-
ton of which Bartnett was vice presi-
dent and chief counsel He testified
today in regard to the contents of
many letters and kilograms sent by
Bartnett while he was in New York
to Brown showing a close direction of
the affairs of the bank None of the
letters bore directly on the sale of the
Cotton securities, while they were held
in trust by the bank but they tended
to show that ii was by the direction
of Bartnett that the bank officers used
the securities to save the institution.
This morning it was shown how.
through the alleged manipulation of
Bartnett 100000 Of the funds of the
Western Pacific railway were trans
ferred from a New York bank to the
California company.

MAY ESCAPE
MATTEAWAN
lhdw'S Counsel Argue for
Change of ASyIumS
There is Little Opposition
Offered by District AttOr-
ney jerome.

New York, June 12.-Harry K. Thaw
will remain in the Poughkeepsie Jail
pending the application of counsel to
Justice Bowling of the supreme court
for a change of the order committing
him to the state hospital for the Grim
inal insane at MatteaWan.
This decision was rendered by JUS
tice Morchauser of Poughkeepsie, aft
er hearing the arguments of counsel
in this city today on a motion to trans
fer the prisoner to any state asylum
other than the asylum for insane con-
victs.
Justice Morschauser expressed an
opinion that it might be better for
Thaw to be incarcerated in some 9TH
er asylum than Matteawan as it was
evident that strained relations existed
between the head Of the Matteawan in
stitution and Thaw.
Col. Franklin Bartlett and James NJ
Graham of Newburg, appeared for
Thaw, Col. Bartlett contending that
Thaw could be legally transferred to
any other state hospital for the insane
and in his argument for a transfer
counsel asserted that Thaw would per-
sonally rather be in the TOmbs or
Poughkeepsie prison than at Mattea-
wan.
District Attorney Jerome said that
personally he had no objection to the
transfer of Thaw to some other hospit-
al if he was convinced that it was for
Thaw's good and there no danger of
escape.
Justice Morscheauser stated that he
could not go back of Justice DOwling's
order sending Thaw to Matteawan. but
in view of the statements that Thaw
might not recover there because of his
feeling toward the head of the institu-
ton. he would stay the execution or
der recommitting him until such time
as Thaw's counsel could ask Justice
Bowling for a change of the original
order.

THE HUGHES BOOM.

Outside of the conclusion of the con-
tests, before the national committee,
the most important development of the
day was the issuance of a statement
by the allies" in which they declared
their intention of sticking to the fin
ish, in which il was asserted that it
was certain there would be no nomi-
nation on the first ballot" The atti-
tude of the "'allies" as outlined in the
statement was generally strengthened
by the arrival during the day of Gen.
Stewart l.. Woodford of New York, in
charge of the interests of Governor
Hughes. one of the first things en-
countered by Woodford on his arrival
in Chicago was a strong sentiment de-
veloped to couple the names of Taft
and Hughes. This, however, Wood
ford met with the statement that the
New York delegation had come here
instructed to support Hughes for the
presidency until the convention had
made choice and there would be no
consideration of Hughes name for any
place except the head of the ticket.
When shown an authoritative state
ment made at Albany that the COVER
nor cannot and will not under any
circumstances accept the nomination
for the vice presidency" Woodford
said: "That is exactly what | expect
ed. l have been attending national
conventions since 1860 and | have new
er known a wise selection for the vice
presidency to be made until after the
candidate for president had been
chosen"
Asked if Hughes success in winning
the contest over the race track bills
had strengthened his candidacy Wood
ford said: 1T has been proved that
Hughes is a fighter and that he never
quits"
Instead of continuing the discussion
of the ice-presidency, Woodford took
up the availability Of Hughes for the
presidency, and said II know one
thing, namely. that If Hughes is nom
mated for the presidency he will carry
New York. l say with Hughes nomi-
mated New York is certain. With
someone else nominated New York is
doubtful" When Taft's strength was
mentioned Woodford paid a high tri-
butte to the secretary of war but
claimed that republican chances would
be greater with Hughes at the head of
the ticket.
The active work of the convention
preliminaries will not be under full
headway before tomorrow night, or
sometime on Sunday
Although delegates We're constantly
arriving throughout the day, no state
is yet represented by its full strength.
New York. Massachusetts and Maine

souri, will arrive some time during the
latter part of the day. ON Sunday the

the convention instructed the chair
man to mail the following letter to
Grover Cleveland:
The democrats of Utah in conven-'
tion assembled, remember gratefully
your friendship for Utah while presi-
dent. With a just party pride we
point to your services for the party

sion we learned of your recent illness
and with one accord we pray that
your life may be prolonged for many
years, and that the country may be
blessed with the wisdom of your

adopted, was a general reaffirmation

contests submitted and turned its at
tention to other matters. 1t has been
in session seven days at actual work
and has decided contests involving
219 seats on the temporary roll call.
These contests have been decided as
follows: For Taft: Alabama %,
Arkansas 81, Florida s, Georgia 16,
Kentucky s, Louisiana IS, Mississippi
Is, Missouri 6, South Carolina ~
Ohio 7, Oklahoma 10, Pennsylvania l,
Tennessee is, Texas S6, Virginia is.
Alaska ,, Arizona 2. North Carolina
Is. Total 216. For Foraker: Vir-
ginia ,. Ohio l.
As Taft had 357 instructed dele
gates before the national committee
began hearing contests, he will now
have a total of 603 delegates on the
temporary roll call, without taking
into consideration any that either en-
dorsed him or declared for him in any
other manner.
The only complete defeat sustained
by the Taft delegates in contests was
In the fifth Virginia district, where
a Foraker delegation was seated be-
cause a man allowed to act as secre-
tary of the district convention had
issued a call for a convention in his
own county for white men only" 1t
was believed by members of the COM
mittee that if they allowed the dele
gates from the convention for which
the man acted as secretary be seated
i'm the national convention it would
place the party in the light of ap-
proving the call issued to a portion
of the voters. For this reason it was
decided to seat the contesting FOrakeI
delegates.
In Louisiana, Ohio and Tennessee
split delegations were present, the,en-
tire delegation from Louisiana being
considered as one. The action of the
committee in dividing the Louisiana
delegation made no difference to the
Taft strength, in asmuch as both fac
tions were for Taft.
In Tennessee a division was made
in the eighth district in response to
an urgent appeal by National Com
mitteeman BrOWnlow of that state,
who asked that it be done for the
purpose of healing local differences
and giving the party a better chance
of electing a republican congressman.
The sixth Ohio district was divided
on the evidence submitted.

Chicago, June 1.-THE contest in

men for both delegations, headed by

ing among our delegates and some
others have also. There is no oppo-
sition so far to W. S. Sturgis for ma

Paris, October 23.-Whether the
Duchess de Chaulnes who was Miss
Theodore Shonts, will maintain her
position among the titled aristocrats
OF France, or be cast into the outer
darkness reserved for bourgeois COM
moners, depends entirely upon the sex
of the child expected to be born to her
within a few weeks. If the stork
brings a boy, he will inherit the title
and estates of his dead father. If'the
bird brings girl, then the mother will
be deprived of her title, which will
pass to the family of the Dus de Luy-
mes.
The duchess is still living in the
beautiful apartment where she and
her noble husband spent the first
months of their married life. and
where hte young duke expired in the
arms of his wife. Here the postum

LUMBER PRICES
RATHER INACTIVE
SAYS ZIMMERMAN

A prominent lumberman of this CITY
was asked today as to the trade out
look for lumber and he stated that the
number of orders that were being re-
ceived had not increased as rapidlv
as was expected, but there was still
some demand. Prices have not
changed much recently, this gentle
man asserted
While the demand for lumber at
this time may not be as great as has
been expected, yet the lumbermen are
not discouraged. They say the de-
mand is bound to come and It is ex-
pected that it will come in a rush
when it does get under way. "It's a
long lane that never turns" and It is
the general opinion of both the buy
ers and the owners of the mills that
the demand is going to be very great
after a while. It is with this idea
In view that some few OF the mills are
operating, but taken altogether not
enough stock will be on hand to meet
the unusual demand that nearly all be.
lieve is inevitable.
This country, as well as the bal
ance of the world must have lumber
and the trade is bound to get brisk
before a great while.
Meantime. some local firms have re-
ceived good-sized orders for lumber
and the general feeling is one of hope
and expectancy
