is asserted on the best authority that
Chairman Dolley's name was forged
to the telegram, an act which has
placed the chairman of the Republi-
can state committee in most embar-
RAISING position.
''Of course the episode is over and
the gentlemen in question are prob
ably all sorry that they allowed them
selves to be deluded by misleading
newspaper reports sent out from
Washington to certain newspapers cir
culating in Kansas and if they had it
to do over again and any more tele-
grams were to be sent to Washington
they would undoubtedly be in line
with the position taken by President
Taft and Postmaster-GeneraI Hitch
cock.
After ALL the visit of the three
Kansas statesmen to Washington has
had one good result in that it will
serve the purpose of putting some
gentlemen in Kansas on record as to
whether they are working in harmony
with President Taft and his policies
and his friends in congress who are
upholding his position and desires in
congress. or whether certain Kansas
statesmen have concluded to cut loose
from the national administration and
to go 1t alone on a platform which will
be composite of Organism and La
Folletteism.''

PALESTINE FOR JEWS.
American Zionists to Restore Ancien,
Country to Former Occupants.

New York. April 10.-The 18th annual
convention of the Federation of American
Zionists will be held in New York City
on June 12-16. This date has just been
set at a meeting of a special committee
appointed by the federation for the pur-
pose. This will be the first and largest
meeting of its kind held in New York
City since the organization of the move
ment IL years ago. Among the more i'm
portant questions to be considered will be
the movement seeking the restoration of
Palestine to the Jewish people. In view of
the recent changes in the Turkish en-
pire and of the friendly attitude which
the Young Turks have evinced towards
the aspirations of the. Zionists. the COM
ing convention will be of unusual in
terest. The invitation which has just been
officially extended by the Turkish parlia-
ment to the oppressed Jews of Russia to
come and settle within the empire makes
the present moment in Zionist activities
all the more significant and it is expected
that messages will be received from the
foremost leaders of the movement in Eu-
rope. This convention here will precede
the ninth international Zionist congress
which will be held in Europe, and dele
gates from America to that congress will
receive instructions.

GAMBLERS EXCITED
States Attorney Wyman Nails Down

Chicago, April 10.-Gamblers and pool

panic by several exciting raids, in which
129 men were captured and locked up by
detectives under the direction of State s
Attorney Wayman. The action was ia
ken without the knowledge of the police.
When notified, Mayor Busse expressed
himself as heartily in favor of the cru

an investigation of conditions and it

Die FOR THEIR HATS.
High Wind Cost the Lives of Two Chi
cagO Men.

Chicago, April 10.-One man lies
dead at a hospital and the police are
dragging the lake for the body of an
other, both having given up their lives
for their hats, blown off in the strong
wind which prevailed here.
Daniel O'Shea, was walking along
the lakeshore with two companions,
when a sudden gust blew his hat into
the water. Half in jest he declared
that he would recover it. While his
friends were still expostulating with
him he stripped off his outer gar
ments and waded in. Suddenly he
doubled up and sank from sight. 1t
is assumed that the sudden chill gave
him a cramp. His friends were un-
able to go to his assistance and after
a brief struggle he sank from view.
Samuel Wunch was riding on the
platform of an electric car when the
wind blew his hat into the street The
car was moving rapidly but Wunch,
without stopping to consider the pos
sible consequence, leaped after it and
was fatally injured.

MORE GAIN IN DEPOSITS.
Eight Million ere in Banks Since
November Call.

The state bank commissioner has
issued his official statement of the re-
sources and liabilities of the 777
state banks based on their condition
March 16 last, at which time the last
call was made.
The statement shows a gain in de-
posits of over eight millions since the
call of November, 1908, the largest
increase on record in this state.
The banks were never in such a
prosperous condition as at this time.
The total deposits of the state
banks total over ninety-three millions
and the legal reserve represents forty
per cent of the entire deposits. The
bank commissioner gave out the fol-
lowing statement in connection with
his figures:
THE official call statement given
out from this department shows an
increase of deposits in the state banks
of Kansas amounting to $8,944,19 S.35,
the largest increase during the his
tory of this department. for the same
length of time and the aggregate de-
posits as much larger than any point
reached heretofore. The call for this
statement was issued for March 18th.
"The state banks of Kansas were
never in a more f1ourishing condition
than they are at this time and their
future els most promising. The legal
reserve on hand March 10th repre-
sents 40 per cent of the entire de-
posts. This is splendid showing
and seldom equalled and shows the
solid, sound basis upon which the
state banks are operating. The num-
Der Of banks under charter in Kan
sas is III, large increase during the
past two years.

to participate in it as soon as it goes
into effect, which will be after June

better they are pleased with it and
the more certain they feel that the
results will be most beneficial to the

BAD FOR TANNERS
Some of the Probable Results of the
Payne Tariff Pointed Out.

Washington, April 10.-The intri-
cacies of the Payne tariff bill which
passed the house yesterday and the
complications which may result from
its enactment into law, are illustrated
by the hides and leather schedules In
connection with the maximum and
minimum provisions of the new bill a
peculiar situation is presented. The
bin places hides on the free list, with
a retaliatory provision for a duty of
20 per cent ad valorem on hides com
ing from countries which do not give
the United States the benefit of their
most favored clause.
The duty on sole leather, as now in
the bill, is per cent ad valorem. The
maximum duty provided for sole
leather is 20 per cent of the duty in
addition, which makes it 6 per cent ad
valorem. 1t is contended that the in
equality between the maximum duties

UNDER HEAVY GUARD.
House Where Petrosino's Body Lies
Surrounded by Detectives.

New York, April 10.-Aroused by
the receipt of a threatening letter to
fears that an attempt would be
made to blow up the house where the
body of Lieutenant Joseph Petrosino
lies, or the church where his funeral
is to be held, the authorities today
placed heavy guard in and around
both house and church. Besides
uniformed guards. SO detectives in
plain clothes are mingling with the
crowds in the streets and keeping
watch for any possible move in the
vicinity of either the house or the old
cathedral of st. Patricks in Mott
street, where the funeral services
will be held Monday.
The letter which led to the taking
of these precautions was received by
MonSignor Kearney, pastor of the
cathedral. The pastor refused to dis
cuss the letter or it's contents. It was
said at the police headquarters that
steps taken today were fully war
ranted by the tenor of the COM
municatiOn.

on hides and sole leather is so great
that it will seriously affect the Amer
lean tanners.
1t was pointed out that Venezuela,
for instance, would find it to its ad-
vantage to have the maximum rates
Of duty in the Payne bill apply against
it's products, in order to encourage its
tanning industry While its hides
would not find as large a market on
account of the 20 per cent duty, fac
tories for tanning the hides and ex-
porting the sole leather to the United
States would have an advantage over
the American manufacturers, whose
hides would cost more on account of
the maximum duty, without a similar
increase in the amount of protection
on sole leather.
