WON'T Do MUCH GOOD.
Governor Hoch Not Enthusiastic About
Conference of Executives.

Governor Hoch is of the opinion
that the meeting of governors Of all the
states of the Union at the White
House on May IA and Is, to talk about
conservation of national resources,
will not be of any great tangible re-
suits.
''The meeting is largely for adver-
tising purposes, says Governor Hoch.
''It is intended to make people talk;
to get people interested in the subject
of preserving some of our great ma
tional blessings which are now being
recklessly wasted. OF course. 1t will
be for congress to take action to make
this sentiment effective. The congress
of governors is merely of an advisory
nature, for the purpose of centralizing
attention on the subject
Governor Hoch will leave for tSe
east the first week in May. He will be
accompanied by Mrs. Hoch. They will
go to Baltimore, where Governor Hoch
will attend the International confer
ence of the Methodist church, to which
he was elected as delegate from Kan
sas. This conference will be in session
a month. Governor Hoch will spend
some weeks at this conference. both
before and after the Washington
meeting.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
Lawrence Westday in Fit of Insanity
Drinks Laudanun.

Lawrence Westday, farm hand en-
ployed by j. M. Miller, near Berryton,
attempted suicide about 8 O'Clock
Tuesday evening by drinking lauda-
mum and his life was saved only after
a doctor had worked with him for
several hours, finally resorting to a
stomach pump. He was in his room
at the time he took the dose of poison
with another farm hand, who notified
Mr.. Miller of the occurrence, and 1t
was due to the prompt action taken
that his life was saved.
He was watched during the night,
as he showed signs of violence and a
desire to again attempt to take his life.
He grew more violent during the night
and asked for a shotgun early this
morning so that he could go down to
the creek and finish the job which he
attempted yesterday afternoon. He
was brought to Tojeka and will be
tried for his sanity.

Passage by House Committee.

Washington, April 22.-The Mccall
campaign publicity bill has been un-
animously recommended to the house
for passage by the committee on cleo
tion of president, vice president and
representatives in congress. Though
introduced by a Republican the re-
port had the undivided support Of
the Democratic members of the COM
mittee and of the national publicity
law organization. 1t was the sub
ject of much spirited discussion in
the committee and action in recon-
mending the bill for passage caused
jubilation among the minority in the

West Virginia, having recently ex-
pressed himself as opposed to some
of the provisions of the measure.

person may, in connection with such
electioil' pay from MS own private
FUNDS for the purpose of influencing
or controlling in two or more states
the result of an election at which
representatives in congress are to be
elected, and his travelling expenses.
A provision allowing him to pay
for writing, printing preparing and
circulating any letter, circular or 9TH
er publication whereby he may state
his position or views upon any oues-
tion," was stricken out He NAV
however, pay for stationery and post
age and for telegraph and telephone

vlding that nothing in this act shall

Mayor E. w. GRANGER, who has been
called down by Attorney General Jack
son for violating his promise to close
the LeavenWorth saloons seems to be
Jumping sideways under the attorney
generals hre. He is trying to make
1t appear that he doesn't know there
are any open saloons in Leavenworth,
and that he didn't issue any order re-
qu1r1ng those saloons to close at mid
night every day and all day on Sunday.
Mayor GRANGER was asked today
about Mr.. Jackson's letter
THAT is a mistake. There is no
foundation for such communication .
DO you mean that you haven't is
sued an order for the saloons to close
at l o'clock"
Il don't know that there are any
saloons-er-in my official capacity !
don't know of any saloons in Leaven-
WORTH
Has any such order been issued to
the saloons from any other source that
you know of?''
why, a paper here printed such q
story about week ago which was en-
tirely unauthorized
Are the saloons referred to in the
unauthorized order closing at ]
o'clock"
I'm sure I don't know whether

UNLUCKY RACE COURSE.
Two More Auto Accidents at Briar
Cliff Today.

White Plains, N. Y, April 22.-The
Briar Cliff automobile race course, on
which four men were injured yester--
through a bridge and into a stream.
was the scene of two more accidents
today. A car driven by George Robert
son, who will drive car in the 800
mile race next Friday, swerved and
plunged into a ditch near Armonk.
Robertson was thrown clear of the
car and landed on the turf, sustaining
no injury, but bruises. A. j. Camp
bell, who was to have driven a ma
chine in the Friday race, was covering
the 30-mile course at high speed when
his car crashed into a telegraph pole.
Campbell was pinned beneath the
wrecked car and when he was taken
out it was found that his jawbone had
been broken and that he had a bad
scalp wound.

WILL BE FOR BRYAN.
Roger Sullivan Says There Is No
Doubt About Illinois.

Springfield, ILL.,. April IA prob
able noise in favor of Johnson and
certain vote for Bryan instructions
are the developments looked for in
tomorrow's Democratic state conven-
ton. It is generally believed that
when Johnson's name is mentioned
in the convention there will be a
demonstration of approval. but it is
not expected that any practical use
will be made of the enthusiasm no
prove to be. From present indica-
tions the convention will instruct for
Bryan and the party leaders are a
unit in declaring that such action will
be taken.
Roger C. Sullivan of Chicago, who
will practically dictate the work Of
the convention, arrived today and
said that there is no possibility of
any anti-Bryan instructions. The
predicted contest from Cook county
to be headed by Robert E. Burke,
and Carter H. Harrison, is generally
regarded as joke. None of the con-
testing delegates have so far put in
an appearance and although Burke is
said to have arrived in Springfield
early today he failed to appear this
morning around headquarters in the
ST. Nicholas hotel and as far as
could be learned, he was the only
member of the contesting delegation
from Chicago, who had arrived.
Harrison is not expected.
Much opposition had developed to-
day to the adoption Of a platform at
the present convention. This is due
to the wording of the planks which
the United societies or liquor inter-
ests are urging for adoption. One
of these censures the church for in
terfering with political matters and
demands in effect that clergymen be
respectfully advised to attend strictly
to the laws relating to things spiritual
and to leave alone the statutes deal
ing with things spirituous. 1t is too
early as yet to confidently predict the
fate of this resolution, but there is
strong feeling among such of the
delegates as have arrived that resolu-
tions of this character are better left
out of the platform, and many OF
them believe that no declaration OF
principles should be made at this
time. This element favors putting Off
the issuance of a platform until II
can be brought out in strict con-
formity with the provisions of the
new primary law, and that means the
! middle of August.

TO LICENSE CATS.
jersey City Alderman Would Charge q
Dollar q Head.

New York, April 22.-Alderman Will
lam c. Herbert is advocating an ordin-
ance before the Jersey City board of
aldermen providing that license fee
of 81 a year be charged for cats. that
they be tagged and that unlicensed
cats be collected the same as dogs. The
ordinance was laid over for 80 days.
when it will come up for final reading.
Il present this ordinance in all sin
cerity." said Mr.. Herbert. II think it
is a wise provision for the city and the
cats. Moving time is drawing near
when people change their homes and
leave their cats behind to starve and
suffer-"
Alderman Herbert received the fol-
lowing note: "You have very little to
do, it seems, if you cannot get busy
on anything else besides cats. Move
if you don't like the noise"

From Issuing Them.

Chicago. April 22.-Judge Kohlsaat
in the United States circuit court, is
sued an injunction today against the
National. American, Wells Fargo and
United States express companies re-
straining them from issuing express
franks and from Transporting property

questions growing out of the apphca-
ton of Interstate commerce laws to ex-
