Bryan was the principal speaker at
the Chautauqua here. He was met
at the depot upon Ais arrival from
Pittsburg by Mayor Rice, Rev. Ellis

large crowd. Bryan was taken
over the city for an auto ride before

interest. In the afternoon he ad-
dressed four thousand people in
large tent which was filed to over
flowing. He spoke upon the subject
1.-The Price of a Soul"
In an interview here he stated
that from what he had seen he be-
lieved that the commission form of
government was a good thing and
while not perfect perhaps, was an
Improvement. He advocated the
watchfuIness of the vote at the bal
lot when either system was used.
The commission form is the main
topic of conversation here and it's
commentator from Bryan will prob
ably win it many friends.

SENATE WILL FIGHT HIM.
War Between the President and the
Upper House Is Probable.

Washington, July lido you
happen to know" asked one of the
senatorial tariff conferees on his way
to the meeting today, whether the
representation as to the presidents
attitude on the tariff is correctly re-
ported by the papers this morning 2"
The question was addressed to
newspaper man, who assured the SEN
ator that there could be no doubt
that the president had been properly
reported.
The senator's reply might have
been forecasted from his countenance.
Evidently he was much depressed and
most uncertain as to the outlook
Then" he said carefully weighing
his words. 1.-The outlook is discourage
ing indeed. While it is not stated in
so many words that the president
will demand free raw material. such
is the tendency, and if such should
be his demand it looks to me as If it
would be impossible to get it. The
difficulty would be in getting a bill
with free raw material through the
senate. For instance I do not believe
that the senate could be induced to
pass a bill putting hides on the free
list"
No more information could be OBJ
tanned from the senator.
This senator's expressions are only
slightly more extreme than those Of
others

]. R. BURTON SUED.
Denver Man Claims $4,000 as His
Share of Land Sale.

Suit was filed in the United States
circuit court today with Clerk George
Sharitt against J. r. Burton of Abi-
lene, formerly United States senator
from Kansas, who has been made the
defendant in a lawsuit involving the
sum of $4,000 together with interest
and costs.
The plaintiff in the suit, Theodore
c. Henry of Denver, Colo, claims that
ex-senator Burton is indebted to him
for half of an $4,000 land deal made
in Texas during the month of March.
1t is alleged that Burton jumped his
agreement with his land partner, Mr..
Henry, and refused, failed and neg
lected to pay over, report or state the
amount due Henry in the deal
1t seems that in July, 1908, Theo-
dore C. Henry and J. r. Burton en-
tered into partnership deal on land
in Pecos county, Texas. The first deal
consisted of $4,000 acres and was call
ed the '7 d Ranch" On November
of 2,400 acres and adjoining the '7
D Ranch" was taken over by the COM
pany and afterwards sold without
consultation by J.. r. Burton The
price paid for the land was $780,
and Henry claims in his suit in the
circuit court today that he has seen
nothing of this money or heard of the
titles, deeds and the like.

AGREE ON WOOL.
Conferees Make Some Slight Reduc-
tions From DingIey schedule.

Washington. July 1.-THE conferees
today agreed to a reduction OF 5 per
cent in the Dingley rates on women's
and children's dress goods made of cot
ton warp.
When the conference adjourned for
luncheon three changes in the wool
schedule had been agreed upon. All
of these were reductions, the lower
duty on women's and children's dress
goods being made on wooden fabrics
weighing four ounces or over to the
square yard and woven into cotton
v arp. A reduction of per cent was
also made in the duty on yarns valued
at 30 cents a pound or less.
The duty on tops which was finally
decided upon was made in accordance
with the reduced duty on yarns and is
in proportion to the diff
ference in cost of manufacture between
secured woods and spun yarns.
By adopting these three changes, the
conference committee has disposed of
the entire wool schedule. the other du-
ties agreed upon being the same as
those of the existing law.
The cotton schedule was laid aside
this morning in order that the wool
proposition could be disposed of.

Was Incompetent.

Clinton. Ill, July 1.-THE jury in
the contested will case of the late
Colonel Thomas Smell has returned
verdict finding that Col. Smell was
not competent to make will. The

grandchildren and their heirs. The
will was contested by his son, Rich
ard Smell, banker of Clinton, who
was cut off with fifty dollars by the
will, but the supreme court set aside
the verdict on the ground that i'm
proper evidence was allowed to go
to the jury. 1t is announced that the
case will again be appealed to the
higher courts.

STUBS IS UNDECIDED.
Governor Has Not Yet Chosen a
Private Secretary.

Governor Stubs is not in the city
today, having gone to Lake View,
suburb near Lawrence to spend the
day in rest and quiet, but in a talk
this morning over the long distance
phone he declared that he did not
have the least idea who he would ap
point to the place of private secre-
tary left vacant by John Dawson's s
appointment to the place as attorney
for the railroad board.
He said that he had drafted DaW
son for the place as attorney for the
board for the reason that he was the
best man available. He believed that
this was one of the most important
appointments in the administration
and hoped for great things from the
new attorney.
The governor paid high tribute to
DawSOn'S work while private secre-
tary. Il hated to part with him" ="
said the governor; ''and only did SO
serve the state and himself as attOr-
ney for the railroad board. I have
the highest opinion of Mr.. DaWson's s
talents and his integrity
There is much speculation as who
Dawson's successor will be. Charles
ernor, is picked for the place by the
wise ones, and there are others who
think that Sheffield ingalls, of Atch-
ison will land the job. Charles Ses-
sions the well known newspaper
man, is also mentioned for the place,
and also M F. Amrine, representa-
tive from Morris county, and now

JOHN DAWSON NAMED.

Governor Stubbs has appointed
John S. Dawson attorney for the rail-
road board to succeed G. S. Grattan,
whose term expired today Mr.. Daw-
son is private secretary to the gov
ernor, having been appointed to that
Office a short time after Stubbs' cleo
tion. Formerly Mr.. Dawson had been
assistant attorney general.
The place on the railroad board
had been offered to Robert Stone of
Topeka, but Stone refused to accept
the place with the strings attached to
the offer. The governor wants his
new railroad attorney to give UP all
private practice and be subordinate to
the attorney general.
John Dawson made good in the at
torney generals office and as secre-
tary to the governor. He has that
habit
He has had little or no experience
in the general practice Of law.

sTUBBLEFTELD HEARING ON.
Much Sensational Testimony Has
Already Been Introduced.

Independence, Kan, July 1.-THE
hearing of the Stubblefeld case,
wherein the treasurer of Montgomery
county is charged with being short in
his accounts, was begun before Com
missioner Atkinson of Parson, who
was appointed to take the evidence
and submit the same to the supreme
court. Scarcely any one was present
outside the defendant the attorneys
and the newspaper representatives. 1t
is apparent that Judge Atkinson as
well as the attorneys are determined
to push the hearing as fast as possible.
Neither Of the deputies in the case
was present.
The case is going to be sensational.
Mr.. Stubbledeld is going to try to put
the blame for the shortage, which is
admitted to be about $1,2S5, on
Charles .Laney and possibly charge the
other deputy with a share of the
shortage. He painted the record Of
Ianey through his attorney as being
exceedingly black Laney came from
a fine family, his father for years was
Pa, and was a highly respected and
honorable man The other members
of his family are representative cftf-
zens of the east. But it IS charged
that Laney has a bad record.
These charges are expected to bring
about a hard fight. Laney is backed
by his father-in-law. who is rich and
a fighter and who has confidence in
the honesty and integrity of his SON
fn-laW and will stand with him and
fight to the last ditch. The case
promises to be the most sensational
this city has ever seen.
