Considerable excitement was
caused in town this week when some
one came in from the south country
with the news that the artesian well,
which is being dug south of Low Gap,
had begun to flow out at the top;
that the well had been capped and
that agents of the promoters of the
well are trying to buy up land in the
vicinity of the well.
This news, if true, will be gladly
received by everyone in the entire
country, as the well, so far, is only
down about 900 feet, make it quite
possible to have several wells in the
valley.

RAYNER WILL FIND OUT.
Wants to Know Whether President or
Congress Runs the Country.

Washington, Feb. 9.-In the near
future Mr.. Rayner will speak on his
resolution declaring the power of the
senate to compel the attendance of
witnesses by summons and the produce
ton of papers by such witnesses wheth-
er they are in private life or in the en-
ploy of the government.
The purpose of the resolution is to
maintain the full power of the senate
to call upon the departments for any
information it desires in opposition to
the view recently expressed by the
president concerning the responsibility
of executive officers.
Mr.. Rayner has been endeavoring to
learn why Baltimore has for two
months been quarantined in it's ship
mefts of beef to Great Britain and has
been refused the correspondence on the
subject with the British government.
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1909-02-09

He believes the senate has a right to
that correspondence and will endeavor
to get it by means of a resolution
This is at present a government by
departments instead of by congress, !"
said Mr.. Rayner today. Under the di-
rection of the president the heads OF
the departments are declining to give
any information or to furnish any
documents in reference to any matter
that the president has directed them
to withhold.
1.-THE senate now has a number of
bills on which its committees are re-
questing information which they can
not obtain The president has made
the point that the departments are not
subject to either the senate or the
house of representatives or that they
can only be reached by an act of con-
gress. NY resolutions propose to main
tain the rights of the senate to sum-
mon witnesses and obtain any informa-
ton on any subject within its Jurlsdlc-
ton and over which it can exercise any
control

NO MONEY YET.
The Senate Appoints Another
Conference Committee.
Will Make Effort to Fix Up Con-
trOversy.
STUDENTS DECLINE.
Do Not Want Memorial From the
Legislature.
Judiciary Will Not BE Taken
Out of Politics.

The senate late Monday afternoon,
upon motion of Senator Porter, de-
cided to appoint a conference commit
tee as requested by the house for the
purpose of comforting further upon
the bill appropriating money to pay
the salaries of legislators and en-
pIoyes. President Fitzgerald designat-
ed Senators Chapman and Reed as the
senate conferees. 1t is presumed the
committee will meet Immediately and
try to adjust the differences between
the house and senate over the salary
bill. 1t is believed, however, that if
any concessions are made the house
members will have to do the conced-
ing as the senators are determined to
stand by the position they took in the
first instance.
On motion of Senator Hostrup, the
senate recalled from the house the
concurrent resolution thanking the
students of the Kansas Agricultural
college and providing for voluntary
subscriptions from the legislators for
a able memorial to present to the
students as a token of appreciation of
the junket recently taken to Manhat-
tan at the students expense. The
resolution was recalled upon the read
ing of a communication from the stu
dents stating they accepted the thanks
of the legislators, but preferred not to
accept memorial.
A resolution was presented by Sen
ator Huffman fixing the time of con-
vening of the senate at o'clock each
until further notice. The
purpose of this resolution is to permit
the senators to attend to their COM
mittee work in the forenoonS and
spend the afternoons in committee of
the whole and in passing bills. The
resolution will probably be adopted to-
day and go into effect Wednesday

NEW METHOD OF CON
CRETE HOUSE CONSTRUCTION

A new method of combining rein.
forcing and. concrete in the building Of
concrete homes is described with IL
lustration in the October number Of
Popular Mechanics 1t is an entirely
original combination of steel tubing,
wire, malleable fittings and concrete
and with the exception of piers, the
concrete is not depended on to carry
any of the load, but is used only as
stiffener or body to the building.
The entire framework can be erected
before the concrete work is started,
making it possible to inspect the posi-
ton and quality of the steel and to
erect a building in much shorter time
than if required by other methods. No
forms or centering are required, which
