tween Japan and America, regarding

of the treaty is given as follows:
1. The government of the United

perial majesty, the emperor of Japan,
in order to augment the existing friend
ly relations between the two govern
ments and in the hope that possible

opportunities for commerce should be
enjoyed there by all foreign nations,
and that equality of treatment should
be accorded all such foreign nations,

ing situation in the Chinese empire.

BRANDED AS FALSE.
White House Statement Regarding a
N Y. Sun Story.

Washington, Nov. 24.-The follow
ing statement was given out at the
White House today:
"As the New York Sun story en-
titled Roosevelt and Prairie OIL has
seemed to deceive a number of people
the following statement is made pub
lie about it: -
GAS soon as the story was brought
to President Roosevelt's attention he
not only called for reports concerning
the statement from the department OF
justice and the department of the in
terror but also communicated with
Secretary Hitchcock 50 as to be
was not at fault. The story is false
in every particular from beginning to
end Not only is there no such re-
port in the department of justice and
never has been but no such report
was ever made In granting the fran
chise of the, Prairie Oil company the
president simply approved the recon-
mendation of Secretary Hitchcock
submitted to him precisely as all 9TH
er recommendation were submitted.
Moreover, in every case referring to
the granting of franchises or the
adoption of regulations as regards oil
and gas franchises in Oklahoma and
the Indian Territory, the president ap-
proved the recommendation of Sec
retary Hitchcock with the exception
of one small and unimportant grant
to a Delaware Indian to. whom the
Delaware Indians, in recognition of
eight years of service to the tribe had
voted in council fee of $1,000
which he declined to accept and who
was given twice the usual amount of
land. The statement about the al
legged promise to a western senator is
as ridiculous a falsehood as the rest
of the story"

and house, Mr.. Albert B. Cummins, is
declared elected United States senator

words which brought a thousand cheer
ing legislators and spectators to their

moment later walked to the speaker
stand preceded. by his aged, gray-hair-
ed father, a demonstration followed.
The cheering continued for five min
uteS, at the close of which Senator

iSlators.
All save three Republican house and
senate members voted for the election
Gratis voted solidly for their candidate,
Claude Porter, but their combined
strength aggregated but So votes. Sem
ator Cummins in a brief speech thank
ed both the Republican and Democratic
members Of the legislature for the sup
port they had given him during the
seven years of his administration as
Iowa's governor. He declared that in
sofar as he was concerned bitter fac
tionalism is at an end.
Il am naturally a Republican and I
shall adhere to the principles of my
party, because I believe that in so do
ing 1 will be doing the greatest good
for the greatest number" declared he.
ct shall at times, however, be mindfAl
of the great responsibility imposed upon
me by the people of Iowa and will do
everything in my power to make my
self of use to those people"

DRAWN BY GOATS.
Helpless ParaIyttc Named Edwards
Making TranscontinentaI Trip.

little four wheeled covered cart
drawn by four big Angora goats fol-
lowed by two men on foot and three
pack goats attracted attention when ar
irving in Topeka the other day. The
novelty of the outfit is not the only
thing worthy of attention as this same
outfit has been on the road, over noun
tains, through deserts and swamps, for
the last four months. The outfit is
owned by Captain V. Edwards who is
one of the greatest goat experts in the
country. He has been travelling with
the same bunch of goats for over three
years and they are as good as ever.
Captain Edwards started out from
Hastings, Neb., where he makes his
home. He intends to write a book
about his travels and about Angora
goats when he arrives at the end of
his journey. He started from San Diego,
Cal, about four months ago and is en-
route for New York, where he will
write the book. He has spent 120 driv-
ing days on the road and is but half
way to his destination. He averages
IA 1910 miles a day He will write about
this trip alone and will not include the
1000 mile trip to the Pacific coast from
Hastings, Neb. This trip alone COM
prised 2S4 driving days.
Accompanying Captain Edwards is a
young fellow named Cecil Fleener who
has walked the whole distance from
the coast behind the driver. He, to-
gether with a man named ]. R. John
son, attends to the needs of the cap
tain and watches his animals as the
captain is paralyzed below the hips and
cannot walk or move from place to
place. Johnson is wanderer of world
wide fame. He has gone around the
world both ways and was with Ad-
miral Dewey in the Spanish-American
war
The captain and his assistants give
exhibitions and talks wherever they go
concerning their journey and the hab-
it's, ETC., of the goats they have in
charge. They also make expenses sell |
ing postcards printed from pictures ia |
ken along their line of travel. They are |
having over 200 pictures printed in To- |
peka at the present time. In the city |
of Denver they blocked the main thor |
oughfares for hours with their strange |
outfit and their tales of travel
They expect to make a public exhi-
bition in Topeka tomorrow If the
weather is favorable. z--stz

HELD FOR MANS DEATH.
widow of Admiral SIMPSONS Nephew
Accused of His Murder.

Rochester, N. Y, Nov. 24.-Mrs. Geor-
gianna Sampson, widow of Harry
Sampson of Palmyra, who died Novem-
Der 1, as the result of a gunshot wound,
was today formally accused of the MUIR
der of her husband by the district at
torney and placed under arrest. Samp-
son was a nephew of the late Admiral
Sampson who commanded the Ameri-
can fleet at the battle Of Santiago.
Harry Sampson died on the Allyn farm
between Palmyra and Macedonia.
1t was at first believed that Sampson
took his own life, but following his
death stories were circulated which
discredited that theory. Finally the
coroner decided upon rigid investiga-
ton. DR.. Albert Hamilton, a gunshot
expert, testified that the dead man
could not have fired the shot which
killed him. 1t came out at the inquest
that Sampson on the Saturday before
his death had discovered a letter writ
ten to his wife by a man outside of
the family, which had been the cause
of a bitter quarrel It was also testi-
fed at the inquest that Sampson had
a package of cheese in his hand when
he fell dead in the farm house, which
was held to preclude the idea that he
could have fired the shot.
At the resumption of the inquest at
Macedonia today District Attorney Gill
bert told Mrs. Sampson that she might
make a statement if she so desired, but
that anything she said might be used
against her
Mrs. Sampson replied that on advice
of counsel she would not make a state
ment. Mrs. Sampson was then placed
under arrest formally charged with the
murder of her usband and taken to
the county Jail at Lyons.
The name of the man from whom
Mrs. Sampson received the letter which
aroused SIMPSONS jealousy was not re-
Ve9lp0 the inquiry.

The financial statement of the road
shows that during the past year the
operating expenses were only $3.50 of
will tell you that this is a remarkable
showing. Often the operating ex-
penses are rs per cent of the operating
revenues. It is the object of all rail-
road managers to cut down this per
cent Hartman has become recog
nized as the greatest of railroad
economists because he can make his
percentage of expenses low.
The total operating expense of the
Union Pacific for the past year was,
according to the report, $25,109,347,
and this operating expense is divided
into the following classification:
Maintenance of way and structures,
$5,575, 343; maintenance of equipment,
$5,37S,998; traffic expenses, $1,0O1,-
076; transportation expenses, $12,-
076.11 general expenses, $1,028,S1O.
The report shows that about one
seventh of the freight tonnage of the
entire system originates in Kansas.
The total tonnage for the system was
100000 for last year. and the tom
1.217,552
The Kansas freight tonnage was di-.
vided as follows: Agricultural prod
ucts, 1886 per cent; animal products,
11.55; products of mines, 1890; prod
ucts of forests, S.36; manufactures,
1852; merchandise, 7.21; miscel-
laneous, 1.60.
There were in service on the entire
line on June 80, 1908; 654 locomotives
and 1852 freight cars.
The Kansas mileage of the Union
Pacific is divided as follows: Main
track, 444 miles; second track, 81
miles; branches and suprs, 7O9 miles;
yard track and sidings, 236 miles.
The company made $41,104 last
year out of its dining car service, $780,
525 out of its hotels and restaurants
and $41,797 out of it's gas plants.
There are 2,967 employees in Kansas,
who received in wages last year ST.
