MOORE EXPLAINS
Tells Taft Why Fourth OF March
Should Have Been Fine.

Washington, March S.-Just how 1t
happened that there was such bllz-
zard in Washington on March 4, and
in the face of his kilograms to Mr.
Taft on the night of the third, that
the weather would be clear, was ex-
planned to the president today by
Willis L. Moore, chief of the United
States weather bureau. Prof. Moore
admitted he had waited for several
days in some timidity before attempt
ing to pay his respects to Mr.. Taft
Mr. Moore had an explanation which
he brought to a climax with all sorts
of proof that no such thighs" and
COWS ever before. produced such
snowstorn1.
The "Original Roosevelt club" from
St. Paul, under the guidance of Hugh
7. HaIbert, rs strong, was accorded

Other important and beneficial leg

requiring campaign contributions to

inspectors. giving the state more (but
not enough) control of corporations,
strengthening the pure food and drug
laws; also the change in the ballot
and the maximum freight rate laws.
Members Have Worked Hard.
Whatever this legislature may be
accused of in the way of rebellion,

tablished a new record for going it's

Dolley has made a good speaker. His

One thing is plainly apparent to any
one who closely observed the work of
this session, and that is that Kansas
has grown bigger and richer since
1861 when the time of the session was
limited to fifty days and the cost OF
living has increased since the civil
war. The sessions should be longer
and the members receive more pay fo1
their services.

WINDING 1T UP.
House for First Time Has Small
Calendar.

For the first time since the second
this morning contained less than a
score of pages. Twenty-Five senate
bills appeared on the calendar under
the head of bills on third reading, and
So senate bills were listed under head
house bills by the ways and means
committee.
The house spent the morning on the
Coburn salary bill and the measure is
now in the hands of a conference COM
mittee.
There is one big fight ahead on the
ways and means bill to increase the
railway board, so there is a nice chance
for a lot of senate bills to die the
death today along with the 200 house
bills that died at midnight Saturday
night when the calendar of house bills
collapsed under the time limit.
The expression Thousand and one
is often used to denote an unlimited
number of anything. House bill 1,00l
was introduced today by the ways and
means committee.
OF the 100 bills referred to the ju-
dietary local committee of which Gun
ningham is chairman, over 80 per cent
of them were killed by that committee.
The judiciary committee, Buckman,
killed nearly. so per cent of the 300 bills
it considered. s
1t is said that Governor Stubbs IA
vors the bill giving Coburn a $4,000
salary, but he is not in favor of a
raise for all state officials mentioned
in the committee amendments to the
Coburn salary bill.

SHARP DROP IN WHEAT.
Caused by Report of Large Amount in
Farmers Hands.

Chicago, March S.-Wheat prices
on the board of trade here today
cropped sharply, May declining az to
$1.15 Il, amidst a scene of turmoil
rare even on the easily excited board
Longs sold heavily on the government
report OF unexpectedly large farm re-
One of the most potent factors in the
DUH campaign has been the belief in
most quarters that farm reserves were
as low as per cent. The government
report placing the reserves at 21.6 per
cent burst like a bomb in the wheat
pit May wheat, which a week ago
sold at $1.191a and opened today at
$1.16% was thrown on the market in
immense quantities, much of it, accord
ing to popular belief, coming from the
trader who has ruled the market for
months.
At $1131A, the decline was checked on
buying by jubilant shorts who were Sc
curing their profits. The agitation of
the spectators was apparent in the
closing quotations which showed a
range of ss of a cent on final trades.
Such a range is rare at the last min
ute, although even wider ranges have
frequently occurred in midsession on
an active market.
At the close May wheat was quoted
at $1.14 to $1.143s. The keen eyed re-
porter for the ticker found it all but
impossible to keep track of prices. 1t
was five minutes after the closing gong
had sounded before he could state the
exact figures quoted at the end.

TAFT WALKS TO CHURCH
Takes IL Mile Horseback Ride SUM-
day Afternoon.

Washington, March 8.-Simplicity
characterized the first Sunday in the
White House of the Taft family. Pres
ident Taft accompanied by his brother,
Charles P. Taft, walked to the Unitar-
ian church for morning services.
There was no attempt at demon
stration, but the eagerness of the
crowd to get close view Of the new
president was not veiled.
After luncheon, the president rode
horseback for 12 miles with General
Clarence R. Edwards his military aide,
Captain Archibald Butt and President
Roosevelt's orderly, McDermott. The
route was over the newly constructed
Potomac speedway.
President Taft saw no callers who
had business to transact during the
day, thus beginning his administration
with his heretofore enforced maxim: ::
Sunday should be a day of rest.

President Fitzgerald entered a plea
of guilty to the charge that his wife
was responsible for what ever success
he had achieved. Mrs. Fitzgerald was
present at the time. having been re-
quested by friends in the senate to
come up and see her husband raw
hided."
After the presentation was over, a
senator was heard to say in a side con-
versation: President Fitzgerald holds
an enviable position 1t is easy to hold
up any body of men for a contribution
toward present of this kind, but this
is different. Here are 40 men who join
ed in giving this present, and not a
one of them who did not gladly join in
the scheme and not a one in the 40,
regardless of political or factional feel
ing, who did not get in for the pur-
pose of showing their respect and good
Will toward the presiding officer
After President Fitzgerald had re-
turned to his office to examine his
present and receive the congratulations
of friends, he was called out to Quell
a disturbance on the floor The SEN
Tenn z. F. Porter, in the chair, was
unable to stop the row, which started
in a quarrel between Senator Quincy,
the official mover "to dispense with
the reading of the journal" and Sen
ator Glenn, who had usurped his per-
ogative and made the motion. The
presiding officer was bewildered, and
pounded fiercely with his gavel.
President Fitzgerald took the chair,
and restored order, only to discover
that the senate wanted to get Senator
Porter out of the chair long enough to
present him with a beautiful scarf pin.
Senator Glenn, the disturber, made the
presentation speech, charging Senator
Porter with having been a good pre-
siding officer. and a credit to the body
which elected him to the position. Sen

honor accorded him, and expressed a
hope that he had so conducted his
trust as to merit the good will of his
fellow members.

fnity bill.' has received a letter from
some woman in Boston, evidently the
aggrieved wife in the case, in which
she asks him to make his affinity bill''

She says that a certain machinist in
the navy, who had an affinity in

secured shore leave because he had a
family in that town.

MUNJI BEY A CRATER.
His Countrymen Charge Him With
EXtOrtion in Office.

Washington, March s.-Three hun
dred thousand erstwhile Ottoman sug-
jects now living in the United States
have petitioned Kaizim Bey, Turkish
ambassador to the United States to
urge that Munji Bey, Turkish consul
in New York city, be deposed for con-
duct which is termed by them graft
ing" in that they allege that Munji Bey
has taken advantage of the ignorance
of Syrians, Greeks and Armenians seek
ing passports to their native land, by
overcharging them for his official sig
nature and the Turkish stamp essen
tial to these documents.
Ambassador Kaizim Bey on receiving
the petition declared that he would
take decisive action. The members of
the delegation bent on encompassing
the removal of Munji Bey indicated
that the embarraSsments to which OF
toman subjects have been put may be
brought to the attention of the state
department if redress is not had by the
ambassador.
The petition bears the signatures of
the most prominent Turkish subjects.
