was good work at the eleventh hour
1t was 11:34 by this time.
AT 1895 the miscellaneous appro-
priation bill by committee on claims
and accounts alone prevented an ad-
journment.
At 11:30 (Joshua had gotten to the
clock again) Morgan brought up the
utilities bill question. The 1920 bill
affecting only Wyandotte county was
loaded into the last omnibus at this
time.
At last a battered remnant of the
original utilities bill passed the house
at 1881. This was the Quincy bill
used by Mitchell as a substitute for
one of Morgan's utilities bills 1t pro-
vides that where franchises are sub
mitted to cities of the second or third
class an election can be called on the
same by petition of 80 per cent of the

MAY BE A SPEED WAR.
Railroads May Terminate Colorado |
Time Limit Agreement.

Railroads May Terminate Colorado
Time Limit Agreement.
Denver, March 9.-The time limit
agreement which has governed the
operation of all passenger trains on
all railroads between Denver and Chi
cago for the past fifteen years will
probably be abolished during the COM
ing spring and in that event a speed
war between the various roads will
probably occur. An effort is being
made by some of the western passen-
ger men to persuade the Burlington to
cut the time between Denver and Chi
cago from % hours, the present
schedule, to "a hours.
G.. w. Holdredge, general manager
of the Burlington, who is now in the
city, stated that there would be no
trouble in his road making the pro-
posed SCHEDULE as it has the shortest
line between the two cities, but that
he does not know yet whether the
public favors faster trains or not.
The Union Pacific has announced
that it will cut the time between st.
Louis and Denver and that may cause
the readjustment of the time sched-
ules between the other cities. The
competition for Colorado business is
reaching the keenest point in the his
tory of the west and the sIashing of
time Is looked upon as one of the
most probable weapons which the
roads can use to increase business.

Losing Jobs at SaIina.

Salina, Kan, March 9.-And the ak

Conductors, brakemen and others
are still taking forced vacations from
the Union Pacific and the opinion is
expressed by a number of railroad
men that the company has a lot of

GAVE CRIPPLE A DIME. :.
Now Hartman Has Detectives Hunt

Tucson, Ariz., March "A beggar

while here last Thursday is being
sought by railroad detectives under
instructions from Mr.. Hartman, who
is now in Sinaloa, Mexico, and has
kept the wires hot in an effort to OBJ
tain some trace of the man. Train
men have been instructed to be on
the lookout for the man whose descrip-

along the line.
While Mr.. Hartman and a party of
friends were talking on the depot plat
form the beggar approached him and
told a story about being crippled
while in the service of the Southern
Pacific. It is presumed that Mr.. Har-
riman's interest was aroused and that
on second thought he decided to as

Emporia, Kan, March S.-Twenty
poles carrying thirty-two telegraph
wires and extending for stretch of

CUBAN BUDGET FAILS Congress Adjourns and President Gomez Calls Special Session to Straighten Out Tangle.

Havana, July 1.-Congress adjourned the budget, and the President has called a speciaP session of the Senate for Saturday. despite the requirement that the budget must be adopted an nually before July 1. Unless some way out of the tangle is found at the spe- cial session, the only course open to the President will be to declare opera tive the budget of 1908-09, in accord ance with a provision in the executive law, which, however, conflicts with an article of the Constitution declaring that the budget is applicable only in the year for which it was designed.
 The House approved the budget in it's entirely Tuesday, and it was ex- pected that the Senate would approve it yesterday. The Senate, however, after devoting much time to bill legalizing cockfghting, which was passed, made sundry minor notifications in the bud get, sending it again to the House, in the apparent expectation that the notifications would be accepted. The House, in the meantime, had adjourn ed, but this was not known to the journed.
 There was much excitement at the palace when it was learned that both houses had left the budget unap- proved. The President immediately took steps tD reconvene the Senate on Saturday, when he will propose that the amendment to the budget be dropped, so that it may receive the Presidents signature.
 The House took no action on the Ma tional Lottery bill before adjournment.

MAYOR REMOVES
 HEADS OF POLICE

New York, July 1.-Mayor McClel- 1an's eagerly awaited decision on the charges made by Supreme Court Jus tice Gaynor against Commissioner the Police Department, arising out of the Duffy case, was made public last night
 In a. sixty-page statement, in which he minutely reviews the evidence taken in his investigation of the case and the Rogues' Gallery photography, the Mayor upholds Justice Gaynor's dec laration that a. great injustice has been done to the Duffy boy by includ- ing his picture in the gallery, and di- rects that it be taken out at once. Although carefully refrainins from any criticism of the Police Commissioner personally, the Mayor condemns the "inefficiency and ma1administration of the Police Department in Brooklyn, and demands immediate changes in the department.
 The changes include the removal forthwith of Third Deputy Police Com missioner Hanson, who. the Mayor says 'sby his abusive language, lack of control, and inability to exercise ju- dicial functions, has cost the city many thousands of dollars;'' of Commissioner Bingham's secretary, Daniel G. Slat- tery; the reduction of Borough Inspec- tor Russell to a .Captaincy, and the Brooklyn under Deputy Commissioner Baker.
 The Mayor further orders that his special investigator, Inspector Kelly be made an Inspector at Large of the police force and detailed to the May lice administration be forwarded to him; also that Inspector Hollohan be made Borough Inspector, in charge of Brooklyn in RusselPs place.
