at Washington.

Washington, Jan. s.-A petition for

sion Of New Mexico to separate state

of a letter from Chairman w. s..

on the territories. The petition re-
cites that when Governor Curry Wis
tied Washington recently, President
Roosevelt assured him he would lend
his aid toward securing the passage
of this bill and is satisfied that New
Mexico has sufficient population and
wealth to entitle it to be admitted as
a separate state. The letter gives the
present population of New Mexico as
above 100000 and states that a del

ASKS BIGGER BOND.
Government Files a Petition in the
Standard Oil Case.

Chicago Jan. 8.-District Attorney
Edward W. Sims today filed petition
N the United States court of appeals
declaring that the Standard Oil COM
pany of Indiana has assets amounting
to more than $27,00O,0O and asking
for an increase in the supersedeas
bonds of that corporation filed on it's
appeal from the $29,24O,000 fine i'm
posed by District Judge Lands.
The government renewed its orig
ina1 plea that the bond of the oil COM
pany, pending disposal of the appeal
should be the same in amount as the
fine. 1t was originally fixed at a total
of 100000 on statements by attor-
neys for the defense that the property
of the company was not worth more
than that amount. 1t was asserted at
the time that the property of the COM
pany at Whiting, Ind, would be worth
but $2,500,000 to 100000 if sold at
auction sale. The other holdings or
the company were alleged to be worth,
on the same bosis. little more than
100000 to 100000. The govern
ment now charges that the actual
value of the company's property sub
ject to execution is largely in excess
of $20,000,000 and that the profits of
the company for the three years EN-.
braced in the indictments against it
were $23.067,126 and that the profits
of the company for 1906 alone-rne
year in which the indictments were re-
turned-were S10,516,0S2.

BIG sw1NDLE DISCOVERED.
Has Been Going on for Years and
Runs Into Big Figures.

New York Jan. 8.-Swindles that may
run into hundreds of thousands Of dol
lars have been discovered in the whole
sale commission house of Charles
Broadway Rouse and yesterday Ber-
nard Zolty, a picture frame and mirror
dealer, was arrested charged with
forgery in the third degree. The amount
involved in said to be $4,000 and he
was held in $4,000 bail
1t is claimed that the swindles, which
it is thought have been going on for a
number of years, were perpetrated
through the assistance of buyers and
checkers in the store. Large consign-
ments of goods were billed, it is said,
and only from 80 to 40 per cent of the
goods shown on the bills were deliver
ed. 1t is expected that a number of
other arrests will follow.

BABY sMoTHERED To DEATH.
Little Myrtle Wiedman the Victim of
Folding Bed.

man, aged "a months, was accidentally
smothered in a folding bed, at the home
of her parents, 283 Rhode Island street,
North Lawrence.
In the morning the mother, Mrs. w.
G. Wiedman, put the child asleep on
the folding bed. A little later Ralph
Brooks, Mrs. Wiedman's 16-year-ol
brother, came into the room and decid-
ed to put up the bed, not seeing the
child. Later the mother came in, saw
the bed closed; asked about the baby
and pulled the bed open. They tele-
phoned physician who directed what
to do and they worked frantically over
the body for some time, but to no pur-
pose as the baby was dead when found

FREIGHT CASE JAN. IS.
Date Fixed Today by the Board OF
Railroad Commissioners.

The state board Of railroad COM
missioners this morning ordered the
hearing of the freight schedule case
postponed from January Is, to jan
uary 81. This will put the case over
until after the special session of the
legislature. The. reason assigned for
postponing the case is that the board
is not yet ready for the hearing.
Some of the members of the board
are said to be considerably worried
for fear the legislature will take up
the freight schedules which have been
prepared, and enact them into law.
The board has done the work of pre-
pairing the schedules, and wants the
credit for putting them into effect,
without any assistance from the leg
islature. 1t is also urged that if the
legislature should attempt to enact a
law embodying> the freight schedules,
it might get into a row, and spoil all
the work the board has done.
Governor Hoch~ says he doubts the
wisdom" of projecting the freight
rate controversy into the special ses-
sion of the legislature. Attorney G..
F. Grattan says that he is going to
cooperate with the board in whatever
the board wants. The board doesn't
rate schedule. Consequently it is to
be expected that efforts will be made
to stifle the members who show a
disposition to hasten the adoption Of
a new freight rate schedule by means
of freight rate law.
1t seems likely that as a substitute
for any bill embodying freight tariffs,
the Legislature viii be asked by the
governor, the board and the attorney
for the board to amend the present
railroad law so that an order of the
board becomes Immediately effective,
and that if a railroad company deter
mines tonight such an order in the
courts, it does scat the risk of suf-
fering a penalty for each day that it
fails to put the order into effect after
it has been made. This will tend to
make railroads put the boards orders
into effect and leave them in effect
pending fight In the courts, instead
of making the state hold the sack
during prolonged Litigation.

TURNS CASH OVER TO STATE.
County Treasurer Pays Its Obligations
This Morning.

Having a "hunch" that special ses-
sion would be decided upon yesterday.
County Treasurer Stanley Medlicott
Tuesday made a little donation to
the state Jack pot To the state
treasury he turned over $5,932.50, as
follows: Court house coupons. $2,-
$50; Kansas avenue bridge coupons,
SLABS; Shawnee county funding
bonds coupons, $1,000; school district
No. "a bond coupons, $40; one school
district No. IS bond coupon, $3.50.
Total. $5,932.50.
This should help some. The state
is too poor to pay for necessary print
ing, and too poor to afford a few other
necessities, and this little Shawnee
county donation should help toward
the supreme luxury, a special session
of the legislature.

now putting it down on the viaduct

cordingly about 9ver:a
The state Journal wished to see
the city get what it contracted for
and did not believe the council should
have weakened by making the change
to allow inferior material and work
manship. The council seems to have
been misled, as this paper stated yes
terday, and was of the opinion that
the lumber specified in the contract
could not be procured. It was tired
of incessant delay
The city attorney stated to the
State Journal reporter that he had
made the insertion in Mr.. Howard's
resolution providing that no extra
charge should be made.
The city engineer told the State
Journal on the day of the special
meeting that he was opposed to the
change the bridge company wanted
and that to change the specifications
affected the contract.
We do not understand Mr.. How
ards "fourthly.'' as the council GER
tainly did amend the specifications to
permit the top flooring to be laid at
right angles with the bottom flooring,
instead of diagonally.
Mr.. Howard says above the city
has been tempted to annul the con-
tract. 1t is now hoped that the trou-
bles are over and the city will soon
get the restored viaduct.
The reader will observe that. the
bridge company is today laying the

BLAMES ROOSEVELT.
new York Congressman Says Pres1-
dent Caused the Panic

washington, Jan. S.-The usual reso-
iutlon referring the presidents annual
message to the several committees fur
nished the occasion in the house of rep
resentat1ves for number of actresses,
mostly by members of the Democrat
side. These covered a variety of sub
1ects, but those that attracted especial
attention were by Representative Shep-
pard (Texas) and Willett IN. W
Ihe former not only made plea for
the restoration of the legend In God
we trust" on American coins, but dis
cussed the cruise Of the American bat
tleship fleet and referred to a possible
conflict with Jaapn.
Mr.. Willett placed all the blame for
the recent financial panic on President
Roosevelt whom he denounced in severe
terms. He charged the president with
not being sensible man and with hav-
Ing turned on the gas and not the light
and with going up and down the coun~
try condemning and striking with the
big stick the heads of great industrial
institutions.
The president had gone forth day af
ter day to the American people and the
people of the world and declared to
them that the men who hold the reinS
of our great industrial institutions are
dishonest and are not worthy of our
confidence and trust.
I'VE want cheer" he said; 1--WE do not
want our chief executive going up and
striking at the big stick everything
that sticks it's head up" What was
wanted, he said was a man to perform
his duties with dignity and power and
with the influence of all sane men be-
hind him.
1T has been said our president is
sincere he continued. He may be so
but we want good sense in the president
along with sincerity" He declared that
the president was not a sensible man
and concluded by:
t'It is because of what I charge him
with, with all the powers of my mind
and body, as my profound conviction
and because of his lack of sense and
lack of due appreciation of the true
condition Of our nation. that we have
this panic today
