mander post No. 10, Cottonwood
Falls; w. L. Roney, past commander
post No. 81, Marquette; s. H. Hamil-
ton, past commander Of the post at
Clifton, had their names signed to a
circular or pamphlet circulated in this
city in which was set forth: 'Coney
Of Kansas. Some reasons why he
should not be made national COM
mander." These reasons cover pretty
thoroughly the ordinary field of
crime They allege deliberate false
hood, theft, dishonorable discharge
from G. A. R., Misrepresentation and
drunkenness. The petition alleges
that these defendants in this circular
did wfllfully, wickedly, maliciously
and intending to defame Capt. Coney
and expose him to public hatred and
deprive him OF the benefit of public
confidence. Such. act is unlawful de-
clares the petition, and it goes on fur

tiOnS against Capt. COney.
Another criminal libel suit was filed

day evening, this one being against
I. L. Dayhoff. ex-superintendent of

fully and maliciously intending to
scandalize. vilify and defame Ella

paper he was then the editor, state
ments to the effect that Mrs. Bur-

CARS ARE RUNNING.
Another Conference to Arbitrate Cleve-
land Strike Is in Progress.

Cleveland, May 19.-The trucks of a
Superior avenue car were wrecked this
morning and the car windows broken
by the explosion of dynamite or giant
powder placed on the tracks. The car
was filled with passengers and a
panic ensued, but none was hurt.
A conference between President A.
B. Dupont Of the Traction company
and the state board of arbitration be-
gan at noon. 1t also was attended by
Harry Thomas, president Of the local
trades union council.
1t was reported that the union might
concede the one point asked by the
company that the men return to work
as new men.
Notwithstanding the widespread dis
order which prevailed in various parts
of the city last. night, the Municipal
Traction company today claimed to
have more cars in operation than at
any time since the strike pegan. With
the approach of daylight the lawless-
ness which continued throughout the
night had in a large measure ceased
and cars were run on all lines without
interference.
While a number of persons received
Injuries as result of the assaults
made upon the cars during the night,
no one was hurt seriously SO far as
reported.

IT'S UP TO FUNSTON.
Trial of Private Buwalda by Court
Martial Concluded.

San Francisco, May 19.-The court
martial before which Private William
Buwalda, of the 22nd infantry, stationed
at the Presidia has been on trial con-
cluded the case yesterday. Private
Buwalda was accused of the unusual Of
Tense Of offering sympathy to an
archists while wearing the uniform Of
a United States soldier, the alleged Of
Tense being committed at a meeting
held by Emma Goldman in this city
recently.
Advocate Judge Davis, in summing
up the charges against Buwalda, said
that it was a question Of veracity be-
tween the police force and the accused.
Two policemen said Judge Davis,
.'have testified that Buwafda climbed to
the stage after Emma Goldman's in
hammatory address against the army
and navy, and shaking her by the
hand, said I sympathize with you"
Davis concluded by saying that If
guilty Buwalda ought to receive the full
penalty.
On the stand Buwalda denied he ever
expressed any sympathy for Emma
Goldman or anarchists. Several of his
comrades testified as to his good be-
havior.
The findings in the case will go to
General Funston for action.

BOTH BILLS BAD.
Efforts of Conferees to Unite on Chr
rency Measure Fail.

washington, May 19.-The con-
1erees on the senate and house Cur
rency bills have held several sessions
IN an effort to work out SOMETHING
unoer the head of the ''AIdrich-Vree-
land bill.' but they are said TO have
almost abandoned hope. AS a result
tnere Is decided sentiment amonp
the conferees and leaders OF hoth
branches OF congress that the whole
subject should go over until next SEES
SION. In that event the work would
oe taken up next session by the same
cohIerees as the bills introduced at
the present session do not die until
the end OF the congress.
Inc senate committee on finance
mas Deen swamped with protests from
bankers and commercial interests
against the Vreeland bill. The oppo-
oi.aon mas neen based chiefly upon the
charge that 1t proposes an asset chr
rency through clearing house associa-
lions being permitted to issue notes.
FOR the benefit of the conferees the
views contained in the letters to the
committee have been collated and
uansers OF the house bill pointed
Ffrst-That the market value az
government bonds would be impaired
py reason of banks selling bonds in
reducing their circulation with a view
70 placing themselves in position to
VIC largest privilege or issuing
the proposed notes.
Second-That many banks would be
driven out of business. In organiza-
lions issuing the proposed notes the
stronger banks would be unwilling to
guarantee the payments Of the notes
OF the weaker institutions and conse-
quentiy admission to membership.
Unfortunate consequences could hard
~ fail to result in thus publicly
branding a bank.
Third-That panic would inme-
o1ately be precipitated if at any criti-
cal period the associations should take
steps to issue the new notes. Know
ledge OF such steps could hardly be
kept from the public
Senators Aldrich, Hale and Allison
have been studying the Vreeland biI]
for the past two days and they are OF
the opinion that it would be bad Ieris-
iation to enact. At the same time
they realize that the house is opposed
to many of the provisions of the Aid
rich bin and that the prospects Of ov-
grooming the opposition in the short
time remaining Of the present session
are not good.

INVITED TO DINNER.
Newspaper Men Entertained by Rivers
and HarbOrs Congress.

New York, May 19.-The directors
of the National Rivers and Harbors
congress gave dinner last night at
the Hotel Astor to New York news
paper and magazine men in pursuance
of the policy Of that organization to
awaken public sentiment to the need
for a national policy with regard to
the improvement of rivers and har-
bors.
Congressman Joseph E. Ransdell Of
Lake Providence. La, president of the
waterways congress, said that congress
answering the. pressure Of the nation,
voted $250,000.000 without hesitation
to build the Panama canal. although
1t will benefit the rest of the world
more than it will benefit this country,
and yet had been niggardly about out
lays for our waterways. He wanted
congress to give the waterways bills
the consideration which the commerce
of this country demanded. He knew
that congress would move onlv when
pushed by the people. The whole
waterways question, he thought was
now handled in most businesslike
manner.
Congressman E. C. Ellis of Kansas
City, president Of the Missouri River
Improvement commission, told how 1t
was that congress treated the water
ways question so shabbily. In the
past. he said, there had been a good
deal of mis- management of what
iiiohCJS hdo Dccu appropriated ana ap-
preparations had been made in most
cases to answer selfish pressure from
local communities. There had been
no great national plan or policy AS
soon as such a national policy had
been formulated and backed by the
people. congress would answer the de-
mands of the people.
Congressman Davidson of Oshkosh.
Wis, said that this country had spent
only half billion dollars on Its water
ways, while Germany and France had
each spent four times that much, and
little Holland had spent three times
that amount
