KAW RIVER BEGINS
 TO FALL SLOWLY

Kansas City, June 1.-The Kaw river began falling before daylight today ana the water steadily receded from the inun- dated district. The Missouri river con- tinued to rise slowly, but it can do no particular additional damage at this point. From now on it is predicted tho situation around Kansas City will im- prove, and that as the waters pass be- yond here damage may be expected to follow along the Missouri and Mississippi east and north.
 All railroads were in operation in and out. of the union station today with the exception of the Union Pacific and Mis- souri Pacific, whose bridges are under water, and the Santa Fe, the last thres named lines using tracks of the St. Louis and San Francisco from the Kansas side.
 In the stockyards the waters were re- ceded, but business was still paralyzed, and no stock was being moved. Water still stood several feet deep in one-fourth of the holding pens, and there was two feet of water in the basement of the stock exchange.

NEWSP PAPER MEN
 CONTINUE FIGHT
Resolutions Are Passed Con- mend!ng Work of Congress
PAPER MAKERS STARTLED
Effects of the Investigation Are Shown To Be Beneficial To Publishers and
 MT. Norris Is Continued as Special Representative.

New York, June 1.-The directors of the American Newspaper Publishers as sociation, at a meeting held in this city. adopted the following resolutions:
 Whereas, The recent congressional in- vestigation of the manufacture and dstri- button of paper surprised and startled publishers and papermakers by reason of the extraordinary revelations in the mar keting of paper; and
 Whereas, The postponement by Con- gress of action upon the proposition to place pulp and printing paper upon the free list, and the decision of the select committee to continue the investigation until December next, thrust upon the American Newspaper Publishers asso- citation, and upon newspapers generally the necessity for continuing their efforts to safeguard and promote their interests; and
 Whereas, Chairman Mann of the se- feet committee has introduced into Con gress a bill which indicates an inclination to ascertain the possibility of reciprocity arrangements with Canada; and
 Whereas, The papermakers are united and organized to protect their interests; and
 Whereas, The information in the inter- est of papermakers, which is being dis seminated to justify the maintenance and increase of prices, presents only one side , of the question:; and
 Whereas, Through the vigilence of this association the pools controlling the out put of fibre and Manila paper boards IS now under close judicial scrutiny, and it appears that other paper pools are likely to be subjected to the same scrutiny; and
 Whereas the efforts of this associa- tlon to invoke aid have already caused population of the proposed advance to 6c per ton, and an abandonment of the so per ton price, and,
 Whereas, the papermakers have rep resented that the large advances in prices for all kinds of paper should be forced upon them by reason of reductions in ths hours of labor, due to changes from 12- bours shifts to eight-hours shifts, and,
 Whereas, recent canvass shows that only 29 out of 245 paper mills have made such change, and,
 Whereas, the work thus far done in
  lied out by volunteers, and,
 Whereas, the situation with respect to the expenditures by publishers of more than $40,000000 per annum for news print paper, has reached a stage where or- ganized effort and concerted energy on the part of the publishers seem essential to an earnest and aggressive campaign, looking to a broader market dissolu- tion of paper-makers combinations and bn of tion of this association before committees of Congress, and elsewhere, and
 Whereas, the board of directors Is of the opinion that Mir. John Norris is equip ped to undertake these services for the association; now therefore, be it,
 Resolved, That the president be au- thorized to engage the service of Mr. John Norris for a period of two years, upon terms to be agreed upon by them, for the promotion of the aims of the American Newspaper Publishers associa- ton in the matter of news print paper.'

PROHIBITION PARTY WANTS
 DRY PLANK IN PLATFORM

Milwaukee, Wis, June 11.-Claiming to expect great gains in the south wit a possible victory for the prohibition party in all southern prohibition states, State Chairman Alonzo Wilson of Illi- nois declared his expectation to be based on the alleged opposition on the tion. This declaration was made be- fore the Wisconsin state prohibition convention which convened at Lincoln hall today.
 Tn 1S90," said Mr. Wilson, MT. Bry an stumped Nebraska against a prohi- bitten amendment to the Nebraska con stitution, and 1 have in my possession a copy of a letter from MT. Bryan to southern men who desired a plank for prohibition in the democratic national platform. in which MT. Bryan declares if his wishes are followed there will Dc no such plank in the platform. MT Bryan was in control of the demo- cratic national convention. and there- fore no prohibition plank can be eX- pected from that convention"
 MT. Wilson said this was the expla nation made to the southern delegate; who had been looking into the subject and he said he was to leave for the south this evening to confer with some leading prohibition delegates there about the support of the prohibition party if no proh hibition plank were inserted in the Denver platform.

DOUBTFUL PROTEST FROM DAVID B. HILL Former Senator Says There Is
 No Democratic Party JOHNSON IS HIS CLIO CE Hill Is Going To Europe To Get Away From Politics-He Says Bryan
 Forced Himself Upon the
 Democratic Party.

New York, June 11.-Davld B. Hill, for mer United States senator and for iong time leader of the democratic party in the steamer Baltic Discussing his retire ment from active politics, MT. Hill said:
 ''There is no democratic party When I met the late Governor Altgeld in a little room up a back stairs in a Chicago hotel, shortly before the first so-called Bryan convention, I told him the poll cies which he represented would drive the democratic party to hell Then, when he begged for another try four years later, I said: You are most there; stop before you have absolutely ruined the party But Bryan was nominated, as I saw the futility of a minority report with only 10 votes to back me.
 q admit that the republican party IS badly disorganized at the present time. Both parties are disorganized.
 There was an opportunity, but 1 fear it has been overlooked. The key of this political campaign should be Taft the candidate of patronage What else is he? He is put before the people as can Gidate by the power of political patron- age. Nothing else.
 Now both sides in the coming political struggle will have to go to the masses for their votes. They might withdraw from the masses. and what better man could stand against the candidates rep resenting the power of patronage than John Johnson, who spent his boyhood days in a county poorhouse? Think of it. torchlight processions with banners read ing: John Johnson, the poorhouse ean- didate.' And from what I have been able to learn, MT. Johnson is more than a mere near-to-the- people candidate; he is a well balanced man and an able man.
 Every time Bryan says, have kept the faith it makes me smile. He has kept the faith indeed. He kept it out in Nebraska, his own state, which is now republican to its political core.
 "The democratic party never wanted MT. Bryan. MT. Bryan wanted the dem- ocratic party He forced himself upon the party in 1896 and again on what was left of the party in 1900 and now in 1908 he calls himself the democratic party and says, T have kept the faith
 After visiting the British parliament and the English courts former Senator Hill will visit the Reichstag and possibly other foreign parliaments.

BRYAN DISCUSSES
 LIQUOR QUESTION
NEBRAsKAN DECLARES MATTER OF PROHIBITION TO BE ONE FOR STATES TO SETTLE AND IS NOT A NATIONAL ISSUE.

Lincoln, Neb.. June 11.-Referring to- corning his attitude on prohibition, MT. Bryan said:
 T have received many letters from prohibtionists and many from opponents of prohibition, and I have answered them all in the same way. I have told them that I did not regard the question as a national question. While it is an issue in a number of states I do not expect it to be made an issue by either the repub- lican or the democratic national conven- tions. I have made it a rule not to dis cuss questions outside the platform, be- cause the candidate has no right to inject issues which his platform excludes.
 Tn answer to questions about my own record on the subject, I have stated that so far as my personal status goes l am a teetotaler, never having taken liquor as a beverage, but in 1894 I voted against the state prohibition amendment be- cause I thought the license system we had, with local option, was better suited to the conditions we had to meet in our state
 When an attempt has been made to draw conclusions from this as to what ought to be done in other states I have called attention to the fact that state laws ought to be made to meet the condi- tions existing in the state, and that what l did in Nebraska could not be a guide in states where conditions were different.
 In other words, have refused to give advice on the question in other states because I am not sufficiently informed as to the conditions in the various states, and l have refused to discuss it as a na- tional question because l do not take 1t to be an issue in the campaign"
 Mir. Bryan and Charles A. Towne of New York attended the meeting tonight of the Lincoln Bryan club. Both made addresses and outlined the issues of the coming campaign.

 Stick" said General Hapgood in reply to a question whether or not his candi- date intends to withdraw.

Nobody has it and it is any. body's fight right, don't forget that" Gen. E. A. McAlpin of New York ar rived today, bringing with him d strong case of optimism for the Houghes boom.

RATE TO BE REDUCED.
Present Freight Charges Are Held I'd
 Be Discrninative.

Wa shington, June 11.-Declaring that the mere fact that 8 given town has been recognized as a trade center and is enabled by it's more favorable rate adjustment to distribute its products in a certain territory cannot justify the continuance of rates that give un- due preference, the interstate commerce commission held today that the rate of 31 cents per 100 pounds on sugar in car foods from New Orleans to Galla- tin Tenn, should be reduced to 20 cents. The decision was m/6> in the case of the Payne Gardner company against the Louisville and rlshNlle railroad, the complainant alleging dis crimination against Gallatin in favor of Nashville Louisville and Bowling Green shippers.

Shreveport, La, June u.-Red river had reached a stage of 3S.S feet at Shreveport tonight and the rise continued at the rate of about four-tenths of a foot every 24 hours.

 By the Demands.
TAF I SENDS AN UL TIMATUM

Washington, June 11.-In language that cannot be mistaken, the text of which was made public by the war department today, the President and Secretary Taft have notified the Panama government that elections in that republic must be conduct ed fairly. The circumstances attending this warning were given out for publica- ton as if in preparation for active inter- vention on the part of the United States by the use of whatever force shall be necessary to make it effective.
 Secretary Taft In a letter delivered to President Amador in person, and dated May F, suggests that two years ago when charges of fraud were made con- cerniHg the congressional election at Pan anna, it was not thought best to do moro than urge fairness in the administration of election laws, though there was much evidence of violence and of repeating. It was hoped that the irregularities were due merely to the fact that the election laws were new, the republic was young, and at more important election, ike the pending presidential election, greater care would be taken to preserve the rights of the citizens.

She must reach the Sandy Hook lghtship at 1915 to equal the Mauretanias s record.
