ARCHITECTS MAY ORGANIZE.
Call for a State Meeting Is Sent Out
Today.

An attempt is being made to organ
ize the architects of the state into an
association for their mutual protection
and a general letter is being sent out
today by a. committee consisting of L
M. Wood and J. G.. Holland of Topeka
and Hair and Smith of Salina which is
as follows:
believing that 1t would be for the
best interests of our fraternity to or
ganize a Kansas Association of Archi-
tects' for the purpose Of regulating
practice in uniform way; notably, the
regulation of competitions; the advoca-
to eliminate the disgraceful scramble
that obtains in this state; and believ-
ing that the younger members must
have work, and believing that it takes
young architect longer to build up
his prices to a recognized standard
after once starting in on low grade
than it will to get q paying business
on the Travelled road and believing
that a good license law would be of
great benefit to us, as well as to our
patrons, therefore, we, the undersign-
ed, after due consideration. have decid-
ed to ask all of the architects doing
business in the state of Kansas to
meet us in the city of Topeka, on
March %. 1908, at the parlors of the
Commercial club, 627 Kansas avenue,
questions and any others that may
come before the meeting, for the good
of the fraternity. We can not get a
license law without an organization
behind it. We may miss some, but tell
all of the boys to come. Please notify

G. d. WEIGH Tells About the $780, 900
Bonus Fund in Coffeyvilie.

'This is a holiday in Coffeyville," >"
said Charles D. Welch, formerly of
Topeka, but now resident of Coffey-
Vile, this morning. We are raising
a bonus fund of 100000 there and
in order that every business man may
turn out and help in the work our
mayor has declared the day an Off
cial, If not, a legal holiday. Merchants,
professional men and in fact every
class of citizens are working hard to-
day to get as large sum subscribed
on the first day as possible. I believe
that fully half the total amount desir-
ed will be subscribed today. The mill
whistles will be blown every time
$500 is added to the list Six COM
mittees of five men each have the
matter in hand and the city has been
divided into districts.
''This sum will be disbursed by the
chamber of commerce to new indus
tries on basis of so much per man,
taking into consideration, of course
the amount of the employees wages
and the sum invested in the industry.
a plant employing large number OF
men at low wages will be put on near
ly the same basis as a plant employ
ing fewer but at higher wages, we
confidently expect this movement 10
bring US at least 10000 more popula-
ton than we now have, and we are
urging people to subscribe to the fund
on the ground that 1t will be good
investment as well as a subscription
to a donation.
"This is not Coffeyville's first eff
forts along this line. Five years ago
our Commercial club began work by
selling new additions and using the
profits from the sale in getting new
industries. The new plants would
then be located near the addition and
the value of the lots thus enhanced.
In this way about $4,000 was dis
bursed and as a direct result of that
work Coffeyville grew to a city OF
nearly 10000 people"
Mr.. Welch is here attending the
state convention. He is a son of the
late r. B. WEIGH.

TWO MORE ARRESTS.
The Chicago Police Continue to Dis
cover Anarchists.

Chicago, March 4.-Continuing their
efforts to unravel the supposed plot to
assassinate city officials which led to
the attack on George NJ Shippy, chief
Of police, Monday morning, the local
police this morning arrested two more
men, who are alleged to be anarchists.
The prisoners, Charles Yaniatis and
William Stadlweiser, were taken In
different parts of the city and each
denied knowledge of the plans of Lag
arus Averbuch to kill Shippy. Harry
who was badly wounded while assist
ing his father to overcome the anar-
chist, was declared by physicians at
the Augustana hospital to have passed
a restful night. Despite the desperate
nature of his wounds the young man is
said to be improving and to have good
chances for ultimate recovery.
The arrest of YaniatiS, which took
place in the Ghetto district, was made
oninformation given to AssistantChief of
Police Schuettler yesterday by investi-
gators for the White Hand society, an
organization formed some months ago
to combat the activity of the Black
Hands A complete list of suspected
Italian anarchists now resident in the
city has been furnished by the society
and further arrests are expected.
Stadlweiser was arrested at North
Halstead street and Sheffield avenue
because he was unable to give a po-
liceman a satisfactory account of him
self. When taken to the police sta
ton a heavy revolver was found in
his possession and he was held on a
charge of carrying concealed weapons
while efforts are being made to trace
his supposed connection With anarch-
iStic societies.

ANTI-LoNG MAN FROM WEST.
r.. p. Hoover of Garden City Saws
Sentiment Is Against Senator.

1t is evident that r. P. Hoover. a.
Garden City councilman who is at
tending the Republican convention to-
day, is an anti-Long man with strong
convictions on the subject. In discuss
ing the Long sentiment in Finney
county he said:
There is no Long sentiment there
to speak of, and 1 feel safe in saving
that he viii lose that county as well
as several others in the western and
southern portion of the Seventh dis
trict.
In the past Long has always car
ried Finney county with ease, but mat
ters have changed materially and a
strong fight is being made on him.
This is true in all of the other coun-
ties In the western portion of the state
where the sugar beet industry has
reached any prominence and this in
cludes all of the counties adjacent to
the Arkansas river.
The sugar factory at Garden City
made 10000 sacks of sugar last year,
twenty train loads of twenty-five cars
each Senator Long indicates by his
attitude in congress that he would
cripple this industry which is one Of
the largest in the state by the adrnfs-
sion of free sugar from the Philippine
Islands. There is also a great deal of
dissension among the old soldiers of
the district who feel that they have

There are many farms in this country
on which large number of sheep could
not be kept profitably, but scarcely any
farm exists which cannot keep few at
least, and these can be maintained on the
alleys and corners of the farm on what
is now an entire loss. The illustration
shown above is typical of the way one
thrifty farmer utilizes his lane for this
purpose.
Young trees in the lane can be easily
protected against sheep, whereas 1t Is al
most impossible to prevent the rubbing
and trampling of cattle from injuring
ders of well edged and graded road
while sheep do not.

will illustrate some possibilities along
this line.

CARNEGIE HELPS Her.
Gives $25,0O0 to Daughter of an Old
Benefactor in Distress.

New York, March 4.-Out of graft
tude for an obligation rendered to him
many years ago. Andrew Carnegie has
given $4,000 to Mrs. Henry Sanger
Snow, whose husband, formerly treas
urer of the New York & New Jersey
Telephone company, is a fugitive from
Justice. Snow is charged with the en-
bezzlement of $4,000 and when he
disappeared his wife and three chill
dren were left without other resources
than an appeal to relatives for aid.
Much publicity followed Shows de-
falcation and it was then that Mr.
Carnegie remembered the favor of the
times long ago 1t had been rendered
him as matter of fact by Mrs. Shows
father, David Brooks, a wealthy manu-
facturer and banker Of Baltimore, who
died about 20 years ago. Mr.. Car
negie was a poor boy in western
Pennsylvania, struggling to make his
way when Mr.. Brooks came to his aid.
What the service was or what the
amount no one concerned would re-
veal. Mrs. Snow declares that she has
never known the nature of the obli-
cation, as she had no acquaintance
with Mr.. Carnegie, and that her father
never mentioned the subject. Her
first knowledge Of the benefaction was
when she received word that the $685.
900 had been deposited to her credit
in a New York bank and that she was
free to draw upon 1t whenever she
pleased.
Before Snow disappeared it was as
serted that he had obtained possession

tracks which he has held for a number
of years, on a pension which has been
granted him under the liberal pension
system of the Santa F'e.
April 81, 1859, Mr.. Elliott, a young
man who had just attained his ma
tority a few weeks before landed in
Topeka, having come all the way from
Virginia. Five days later he Joined
force of men who We're at work laying
the first rails on the future great Santa
Fe system. At the time he commenced
to work the Santa Fe owned but about
two miles Of track extending south
from Topeka and a right of way which
was graded almost to the present site
of Pauline. There was not a railroad
building of any character on the Santa
Fe property in Topeka. The road did
not own an engine or car of any
kind.
With the Santa Fe little more than
a dream in the minds of her promoters,
Mr. Elliott commenced his long service
with the road He worked with the
construction gang laying track for a
few months. Then with the arrival of
the rolling stock of the Santa Fe, Mr..
Elliott was placed at work setting up
cars and later as repairs were needed
he became engaged in the car repairing
department. with which work he allied
himself during the remainder of his SER
vice with the Santa Fe.
Gradually the work of the car re-
pairing department increased and in a
few years separate quarters for this
work were set out east of the station,
which have grown to what are now
known as the Fourth street yards
Mr.. Elliott worked here steadily until
twenty-five years ago, when he was
appointed foreman of the yards, which
position he has since held. He has
been in active service nearly all of that
time, and had missed but few days
until a few months ago when it was
necessary for him to take vacation
on account of nervous troubles.
Mr.. Elliott is a man sixty years of
age at the present time. He has seen
all of his long years Of service in To-
peka and has long been recognized as
one of the landmarks in the history of
the Santa Fe and of Topeka. During
his long residence here he has been

recognized as one of the well to do
residents of the city.
There were very few of US who
ever dreamed of the Santa Fe becom-
ing the great road she now is" said
Mr.. Elliott, in speaking reminiscently
of some of his early experiences. IN
fact it was thought that the road
would be a great thing for the town
if 1t ever reached Carbondale. But as
the road built further west every sum-
mer and then built east, too, we be-
gan to realize that the Santa Fe would
be a big road some time"
ST have been with the road so long"
says Mr.. Elliott, that I hardly realize
what It is not to be a part of the Santa
Fe any longer. I can hardly believe
that my service with this road is
ended"
Some Of the experiences which Mr.
Elliott relates of his first years of
service are very interesting, and hard
ly seem real to the younger genera
ton.
