our policy.
Monsieur Jusserand was the third
of the especially forceful speakers
and urged the necessity Of river and
narbor improvement as part OF a
comprehensive plan considered as
an investment and not as an item
of expense.
J. Clifford Pinchot, the government
forester, came next and discussed
the general policy of conserving our
water supply. The five great OBJ
jects of Federal endeavor and effort
should be for Cd Navigation, (2)
Forestry, 60 Irrigation, a. Me-
chanical Power, (5) Sanitation.
Martin l. Knapp, chairmans of
the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion, brought out the point that
just as the Constitution gives the
Federal government control Of In
terstate Commerce transported over
the great railway systems so sim
liar control of commerce over the
great waterway systems must be ex-
.rcised and in the commerce of the
future the railways would be sub
)rdinated to water transportation.
Prof. Lyman closed by giving
some of the slogans showing the
temper and disposition of the Con-
gress. 1--WE have crossed the

SILVER ANNIVERSARY.
Joseph Pulitzer Celebrates Close of q
Years of World Ownership.

New York, Nav 1.-THE World
completed Sunday twenty-five years of
ownership and editorial direction by
Joseph Pulitzer. and to celebrate that
building fronting City Hall park was
the scene last night Of varied festivi-
ties.
On May 10, 1883, Mr.. Pulitzer pur-
chased from Jay Gould the entire
property of the World and set about
a newspaper that had fallen into decay
and lack of public confidence.
Coincident with the date there has
reached completion an enormous
building that practically doubles it in
size.
The growth of the newspaper has
been so great that the towering build
ing erected in 1889, and then thought
to be sufficient for all time. has be-
of the various departments of publica-
ton. Therefore another Pulitzer
building, thirteen stories in height, has
swiftly grown up in the rear of the
old home and become an integral part
of it.
AS the first part in the celebration
the front doors of the enlarged and
emodelled building were thrown open
to large company of invited guests
who Joined in the dual ceremony Of
concentrating the events of the past
quarter of a century and of inaugural
ing a new era of even greater promise.
y One hundred guests came from
Washington in a special train over the
Pennsylvania lines. leaving the capital
about noon and arriving in New York
in time for dinner. Among their num-
Der were many Of the leaders of the
senate and house of representatives,
with a number of executive depart
ment chiefs They went first to the
Waldorf-Astoria, and after dinner pro-
ceeded in a body to the Pulitzer build
ing.
Among the Washington guests were
Senators Culberson of Texas; Daniel
of Virginia; Smith of Michigan; Dick
Of Ohio; Hemenway of Indiana: Nc
Creary of Kentucky; Borah of Idaho;
Burnham Of New Hampshire; Gore of
Oklahoma, and Curtis of Kansas.

STRUCK BY LIGHTNING.
E. S. Gresser Has an Exciting Expert
ence During the Storm.

Natural gas and lightning Joined
hands early this morning, setting fire
to the home of E. S. dresser, cashier
of the Citizens bank of North Topeka,
821 Tyler street.
'"The bolt Of lightning came into the
house on the electric wiring" said Mr..
Gresser. 1T made an awful noise and
shook the whole house. 1t didn't
throw us out of bed but shook us
around in our beds. On getting up we
found that the bathroom was full of
smoke and flames several feet high
were leaping up. I couldn't find any
fire any place else. The gas piping be-
tween the first and second floors was
broken and the lightning following the
electric wires between those two floors.
set the gas on fire. 1 don't know ex-
actly how much damage was done, but
I believe that the flames burned pretty
well all through the space between the
first and second fioors.''
The alarm was turned in at fire de-
partment headquarters at 2:15.

DEPOSITS ON THE MOVE.
Bank Statements Show q Good In
crease in Kansas.

The statement of the condition of
the banks of Kansas will probably be
issued late this afternoon by the state
bank commissioner, and it is antici-
pated that it will show an increase in
dep1sits over the deposits shown in the
December CALL
On December 3 the deposits in the
kansas banks amounted to lat mill
lions. OF this IL millions were in
state banks and the rest in nationals.
This was the last call for statement
issued by the department previous to
the present one. It Is anticipated that
the statement to be issued today will
show an increase of possibly $4,000
600 in the deposits in state banks
alone, the national banks not reporting
at the present time
The December 8 call showed a fall
ing on of IL per cent in the total de-
posits of the state from the previous
August. when the total deposits reach
ed $165,OO0,000. the highest in the his
tory of the state. The normal decrease
for December is about per cent, so
that the actual loss in deposits, due to
the panic, was per cent. The prob
able gain of 100000 in state bank
deposits shows that the state has prac-
tically recovered all the ground in de-
posts which 1t lost during the panic
On December 8 the total state bank
deposits were II millions and It is now
estimated that they are upwards of
rs millions

LELAND AT WICHITA.
Asks That Old Soldiers Help 'eReal
Republican"

Wichita, Kan, May 11-About 200
OF the members of the Old Soldiers
Republican club and their friends as
sembled in the city court room at the
court house Saturday afternoon and
were addressed by Cyrus Leland, can
didate for the nomination for governor
on the Republican ticket, and by Pat
Coney, past department commander of
the G. A R.
Both men spoke in regard to the po-
litical issues of the coming campaign
and asked for the support Of the old
soldiers in Mr.. Leland's race for the
nomination.
Mr.. Leland made a short address,
speaking about ten minutes. He told
briefly of his so years experience in
Kansas politics and said that it had al
ways been his endeavor when holding
office to carry out the wishes of the
people he represented as near as pos
sible He also spoke of the important
part taken by the old soldiers in the
affairs of the state and of the splend-
id record they have made.
He spoke with reference to the new
tax law which he believes should be
changed.
With regard to his opponent for the
nomination, Mr.. Stubs, he said that
he had no charges to make against
him but that he believed the old SOL
diers should help real Republican"
and one who had worked for their in
terestS in the past.
Mr.. Coney followed the first speaker,
making a strong plea for Mr.. Leland
and denouncing the stand taken by
Mr.. Stubs.
The speaker said that Mr.. Leland
had always been very modest in re-
gard to his own attachments but that
he had always been aggressive when
it came to doing things. He urged that
the old soldiers support him, both be-
cause he is one of them and because
of the splendid record he has made in
his public career.
In Speaking about Mr.. Stubs recent
implied charges against Mr.. Leland as
being a spokesman and that his being
such was due to the conditions which
have prevailed in politics in the past,
Mr.. Coney denounced them as false and
as being a SANDER on the entire Re-
publican party.

The chances are that If the railroad
companies will give one cent mile

Concerning the fight between
Stubs and Leland, I want to say that
am an old soldier, and am not for
Leland. There are going to be many
others OF course 1 expect that Leland
will get the majority of the old solI
diers. 1t would be remarkable if he
didn't. But for my part, want
Stubs. And that isn't because I am
much of a Stubs mani am origin
ally for Bailey, and fought for him
hard at the conventions when he was
a candidate. I felt sore at Stubs for
turning him down, but I believe now
that Stubs stands for the right sort
Of things, and I am for him.
