Wichita Board of Trade Wants Grain
Rates Let Alone.

A committee of three from the
Wichita board of trade today made
public a statement declaring that the
board is opposed to any changes IN
the present Kansas grain rates. TINS
is slap at w. r. Stubs. who intro
duced resolution calling on the state
railroad commission to take steps TO
secure a further reduction in Kansas
grain rates to the gulf.
The Wichita statement is signed by
]. c. Robb. j. E. Howard and j. s.
Macauley, and Is as follows:
I'VE called upon the board of rail-
road commissioners for the purpose of
advising them that the parity of rates
obtained by the board through it's re-
cent action before the interstate COM
merce commission is satisfactory to
the western Kansas grain belt, the de-
c1sion in this case giving the Wichita
gateway material freight rate ad-
We We're afraid that the further reduo-
ton in local rates contemplated by the
board in its new Kansas distance tariff
up for hearing today would operate to
reduce our advantages now enjoyed
over Kansas City. The commission
mas assured US that if the reduction
provided for in their tariff works d
ehange in the present parity now en-
Joyed by the Kansas grain belt to the
wichita gateway, they will forthwith
take such further action before the in
terstate commerce commission as will

DRINKS LAUDANCM AND DIES.

James Willard Dunn, a small colored
boy OF two and one-half years of age,
and the son of Mr. and Mrs. James
Dunn. of 40 Fillmore street, died late
saturday night as the result of drink
ing a portion of the contents of a bottle
OF slaudanum. The child was playing
around the house in the afternoon and
ABOUT four O'Clock found bottle which
contained laudanum which its mother
had used for toothache A portion of
the contents was taken by the child.
The parents, however, did not realize
what had happened.
The little boy began to grow sick in
the evening and about eight O'Clock Drs.
jackson and Bowen were called. The
parents had until this time entirely
FORGOTTEN the presence of any laudanum
IN the house, but upon exa rnination of
the bottle the cause of tire child's sick
ness was plainly apparent. Medical aid
could avail nothing and the child grew
gradually worse until death came at
HIPS. Had the parents suspected the
| taking of laudanum earlier the child
could have been saved. The funeral
was held this morning ct eleven O'Clock
and the remains were buried in Topeka
cemetery.

BOYCOTT UPHELD.
Railroad Can Discharge Employe for
Membership in Union.

Washington, Jan. 27.-The constitu-
tionality of the act of congress of
June 1, 1898. prohibiting railroad
companies engaged in interstate COM
merce from discriminating against
members Of labor organizations in the
matter of employment was called into
question by the case of William Adair
versus the United States. which was
decided by the supreme court of the
United States, favorable to Adair The
opinion was by Justice Harlan and
held the law to be repugnant to the
constitution.
The court held that Adair as mas
ter mechanic Of the Louisville &
Nashville Railroad company had a
right to discharge. IAN employee be
cause he was a member of a labor
organization just as 1t was the en-
ploye's right to quit such employ
ment because of his membership in
such organizations. Such a course the
decision added, might be unwise, but
regarded as a mere matter of right
there could be no doubt. Congress
could not under the constitution
authorize a violation of contracts I'M
der the guise of protecting interstate
commerce.
Justice McKenna delivered a dis
senting opinion favorable to the Law
in which he said the courts decision
is along very narrow lines.

TRY A new PLAN.
Stubbs People Circulate Petition on
Conference Question.

A petition to Speaker Simmons was
circulated in the house this afternoon
for the appointment of A. c. Mitchell,
c. B. Kirkland and c. F. Foley as
house conferees in case a second con-
ference is necessary on the primary
election BILL
This petition is being circulated in
the house by friends Of the Stubs
bill. and it is claimed that a strong
majority of the house members have
signed the petition.
Mitchell, Kirkland and Foley are all
friends Of the Stubs bill, and they
will refuse to compromise on a split
primary. The house mill make a de-
termined stand in this way for the
Stubbs bill. G. F. Foley of Rice coun-
ty Is a Democrat
Eight of these petitions were being
circulated in the house this morning,
and the aggregate number Of signers
is said to have been about 70.
The petition will not be presented to
the speaker unless the primary confer
ence committee now out fails to agree
The fact that the petition is being cir
culated indicates that the committee
will fail to agree, and that the Stubs
faction is preparing to meet this con-
| tingency.
The plan of petitioning the speaker
! for a certain committee, friendly tt
the Stubs bill is similar to the plar
tried at the last session in the senate
when the hodge" instructed President
| Fitzgerald whom he should appoint or
| a conference committee.

TAFT SAYS NEVER"
Asked When He VIII Make State
ment Regarding Candidacy. IL.

Washington. Jan. 27.-The appear
ance of Secretary Taft before the
house committee on industrial arts
and expositions today, in support OF
an appropriation for the Seattle expo
sition in 1908, was the signal for a
demonstration in his honor. The-pro-
ceedfngs were interrupted when he
entered the room by hand clapping
and humping of the table.
The congressional delegates from
Washington as we'll as a delegation of
business men and officials from that
state, also were present and pleased
for an appropriation for the EXPOSE
ton. Secretary Taft thought that on
account of the Philippine finances
that government would not be able
considerable size. but he said the war
department could have the James
town-Philippine exhibit sent to Seat
tie.
In an indirect way Secretary Taft
touched upon the relations between
Japan and the United States. The
exposition at Seattle, he thought
would have a great effect over the
Pacific. There are critical develop
ments," he declared, Gin the matter OF
fixing the attention of orientals in this
country, but nothing will bring to the
attention of the orientals so much the
interest of this country in them and
their interest in us for the purpose OF
trade as an exposition like this"
He referred to the proposed exposi-
ton in Japan in 1912 and said the
Japanese expect to make it one of the
greatest in the world and he added:
81 hope it will succeed"
The Japanese, he said, were anxious
that the United States shall be present
1f aYnOSifinn The invitation r, ar
been accepted. Il think the exposition
will have an excellent effect said Mr.
Taft. TT will bring the countries or
both sides of the Pacific together in

BRING IN EVIDENCE
Railroad Freight Rate Hearing
Begins Today.
Schedules Prepared for the
Board Are introduced.

This morning the state board of rail-
road commissioners commenced the
hearing of evidence in the proposed new
schedule of freight rates which has
been drafted for the railroad commits
sion by ST. Louis freight experts.
A large delegation of prominent rail-
road attorneys and freight experts is
in attendance at the hearing, including
M. A. Low Of the Rock Island, N. H.
Loomis Of the Union Pacific, A. A.
Hurd of the Santa F'e, John Madden of
the Missouri, Kansas & Texas and j. H.
Richards of the Missouri Pacific.
The whole of the morning session was
devoted to the introduction of docu-
mentary evidence collected by the rail-
road commissioners and their attorney
to sustain the schedule of rates pro-
posed by the commission. There is a
vast amount of this class of evidence,
and when it is in, the railroads may ask
for time for rebuttal.
1t is likely that the hearing will con-
tinue for several days.

WANT TO MAKE TERMS.
Operating Railroad Officials Call ON
the President.

Washington, Jan. 27.-The operating
vice presidents of many of the large
railways of the country were received
by President Roosevelt today and pre-
sented a request that in executing what
is known as the comfy amendment
of the railroad rate law, but one case
be brought against the roads by the
government this case to be finally dis
posed of by the supreme court of the
United States. This if agreed to by the
government would mean that the rail-
roads owning coal producing properties
would not sell them by May l next, as
required by the law, but would continue
onerating them as heretofore until the
disposal of the test cases. The law In
question is regarded by the roads as
unconstitutional in that it requires the
disposal of property at what would De
necessarily a sacrifice. The law also is
questioned on other grounds.
The president referred the railroad
mission, where it Is understood the
question will be fully discussed and
report made to the president as to the
legal possibility of carrying out the
suggestion made.
Those who participated in the confer
ence besides the president were:

of the conference on the part OF the
railroads: l. G. Rawn, Illinois Central;
