committee on banking and currency

Vreeland financial bill on the table.

sufficient time, week if possible, for
the discussion of all pending currency
measures, pursuant to and under the

Payne, which provides that national
banks may procure circulation by the
deposit of United States bonds or GER
tif1cates of Indebtedness such as

NOT TILL OCTOBER.
Harvester and OH Trust Cases Are
Postponed.

Not until October will the Kansas
supreme court get q chance to pass
judgment upon the Standard Oil COM
pany and the International Harvester
company, and determine whether or
not these two companies are gigantic
octopi, sucking the life blood OF
civilization, or whether they are law
abiding, beneficent business institu-
tions.
hearing today before the supreme
court, but when they were called.
John Dawson, assistant attorney gen
eral, stated that the taking Of evil
dence had not been completed, and
that it was desired to continue the
cases till October. Earl w. Evans,
attorney for the two alleged trusts,
admitted that he was willing to agree
to such a plan. The court put its o.
K. upon the proposition, and the
cases went over.
the defense in the International Har-
vester case has heretofore been ex-
tended till June 1. and SO far there
has been no evidence at all taken In
the Standard Oil case except to Sc
cure, after hard fight, the written
answers Of the Standard oil officials to
long list Of interrogatories pro-
pounded by the state. The state also
has on hand a lot of second hand evil
dence taken in various other cases
against the Standard in various places
and at various times. It may be
that the state will figure that on this
violating the antitrust law stick
against the Standard, and that II
won't need to take any further evil
dence.

HEITMAN MAKES A PLEA.
Wants to Be Relieved From Paying
Forfeited Bonds.

The attorneys for JOHN Heitman,
professional bondsman, appeared be-
fore the board of county commissioners
today, and introduced reason why Heit-
man should not be held on two forfeit
ed bonds of local malefactors. These
are forfeited bonds where the defend
ant was captured and delivered to JUS
tice after the forfeiture. The attorney
stated that such was the case-the
criminals had been delivered to the au-
thorities and convicted. and Heitman,
the loser, had quit the bond business
forever.
The county attorney was present and
opposed any leniency toward Mr. Heit-
man. These bonds were forfeited"
said the county attorney, land a mo-
tion was made to set aside the forfei-
lures. The district court overruled
this motion. Defendants were not on
hand when the case was called. John
Heitman was professional bondsman
He made a living that way, and deviled
the life out of county officers by hang
ing around when any tough customer
was arrested and trying to get the job
of going on his bond. He charged these
defendants an exorbitant commission
Sympathy and mercy from this board
of commissioners will be wasted on

The commissioners took the matter
under advisement for a few days.

BOTH SIDES APPEALED.
The Government Now Seeks to Have
Hartman Case Advanced.

Washington, May 4.-In the supreme
court Of the United States motion
was made today in behalf Of the in
terstate commerce commission to ad-
vance on the docket the appeals of the
commission and E. H. Hartman and
Otto H. Kahn, the latter of the New
York banking firm of Kuhn. Loeb &
Co., in the cases which Hartman and
Kahn refused to answer certain ques-
tions propounded by the commission
in 1906, in connection with its inquiry
into the alleged consolidation and COM
bination of railroads subject to the in
terstate commerce law. The questions
covered wide range Of operations and
the United States circuit court for the
southern district of New York, to which
the matter was submitted, directed the
two witnesses to make reply to all ex-
cept those relating to the purchase OF
stock by Hartman in anticipation OF
the Union Pacific dividend. Neither
party was satisfied with this solution,
and both sides appealed to the supreme
court.
The motion to advance was made by
Frank B. Kellogg, c. A. Severance and
John H. Marble as counsel for the COM
mission.
In presenting their motion they dwelt
upon it's vast Importance because OF
the public interests involved.

Goodland People Object to Payment
on That Basis.

The people who use water from the
city water plant at Goodland, Sher-
man county. object to the meter sys-
tenn OF paying their bills. Because OF
the strenuosity of their objection, q
case was filed today in the supreme
court which bears the title of Lewis
F. Cooper and others against the city
of Goodland.
Cooper and other users of water
were to be forced by the city to go
on meter basis, and pay 50 apiece
for meters-the same as charged in
Topeka and other cities. They refus-
ed to buy meters, and said that the
meters were no good anyway; that
they were not to be depended upon.
In the lower court, the city won
it's case, the court holding that the
meters should go in.

RAILROADS TO BE HEARD.
May State Their Case Before Tax
Commission.

Beginning next Wednesday, the
Kansas railroads which desire to ap-
pear before the state tax commits
sion and tell why their assessed valu-
alton should be no higher than their
estimate filed with the tax commits
sion, will be given a chance to be
heard.
The Union Pacific. through its tax
commissioner, A. w. Scribner, will be
given a chance to make his talk on
"wednesday, and other roads can fol-
low in whatever order they may see
fit.
It will not be the policy of the tax
commissioners to tell the railroads
what the valuation Is going to be,
but after hearing what the railroads
have to say, the commission will GO
ahead and do as its pleases.

and watch the rhythmic motion OF life
itself waving among its human pup
pets; to love form and color and sound
for their own sakes; to find the sincere
record of other lives as instinct with in
terest as our own; to see, to hear, to
smell, to perceive life widely-is to gain
a broader swath than in childhood we
could ever dream of.
What is not done at thirty said a
famous jurist, overlooking the gather
ing of his youth and kin, 'is not done
at ALL" There is truth and untruth in
the assertion. Genius. indeed, has
usually given a sign-and most often
an uncomfortable one-by thirty. But
life is long ladder. and there are
many rungs before we reach the height
Of genius.
It has frequently been asserted that
great prose cannot be written before
forty. Statesmanship is OF late develop
ment Nearly all the vocations that
call for the handling Of men, for cool
line, wide experience, come to their
own late in life. Women, too, develop
much later than men, owing, probably.
to their more sheltered lives: the
paucity of their experience, the narrow
ness of their culture, and the meager
demands made upon them. George
Eliot began at thirty-eight to write
stories, and published her first novel
when forty. Mrs. Wharton was forty
when she published 1.-THE Valley OF De-
cision," and thirty-seven when she pub
nshed her first prolonged short story,
.eThe Touchstone.'' But the record il

point. All Ibsen's important work wa1
