BOOST FOR FINE ARTS.
President Takes Steps Looking to
Recognition by Government.

washington, Jan. 19.-Quick to appreci-
ate the plea that the fine arts have been
denied that governmental consideration so
universally accorded by other nations, as
suggested by the American Institute of
Architects President Roosevelt has taken
the first steps looking to their recogn1-
ton by this government.
The president announces, IN correspond
ence made public, that he has asked the
institute to designate thirty men repre-
senting all parts of the country to COM
pose a council of the fine arts. The OBJ
ject of the council, which is to consist of
architects and laymen, OF which the
supervising architect of the treasury IS to
be the executive head, is to advise upon
the character and design of all public
works of architecture, paintings, sculp-
ture; all monuments, parks, bridges and
other works of which the art of design
forms integral part; and to make
suggestions and recommendations for the
conservation of all historic monuments.
President Roosevelt cordially approves the
recommendations of the architects.
Moreover, declares the president IN
his letter to the architects, Il shall re-
quest the council to watch legislation and
on it's own initiative to make recommenda-
tions to the executive and to congress
ing monuments, or with regard to any new
project.
Il earnestly advise your body to take
immediate steps to secure the enactment
of a law giving permanent effect to what
am directing to be done. The course you
advocate, and which approve, should
not be permissive with the executive; it
should be made mandatory upon him by
act of congress-.
The president will Immediately call
upon the council for a report as to- the
character and location of the Lincoln

RAILROAD NEWS.
Permanent Prosperity Based on
Cessation of "Anti' Laws.
Now Public Confidence in Roads
Is Badly Shaken.
VIEW OF JAMES j. HILL
Says Attitude of People Must
Change if Benefit Is to Come.

way Circles.
VIEW OF JAMES j. HILL

There can be no permanent return
to prosperity, in the opinion of James
J. Hill of the Great Northern road,
until there is a cessation of anti-rail-
road legislation and the antagonism
manifested toward the roads by peo-
pie in all sections of the country. In
a letter addressed to the board OF
trade of Hoboken, n. J., on this sub
ject Mr.. Hill says:
1.-The outlook for the future de-
pends chiefly upon the attitude or the
people and the state of the public
mind. For considerably more than
year past it has been impossible for
many of the railroads to secure
enough funds for necessary extensions
and improvements. At the same time
revenues have been reduced both py
a falling off in traffic and by arbitrary
reductions in freight and passenger
rates With decreasing incomes ana
heavily increasing expenses, rallroads
in general have not such command OF
capital as would enable them either
TO share in prosperity, or, Whlcn IS
even more important, to assist IN
creating it, as they do under normal
conditions.
MANY systems have experienced
financial difficulties by reason OF
want of confidence growing out OF re-
peated assaults upon railroad enter
prise by legislative bodies all over the
country. The requirements of their
growth and the growth of the commu-
mites which they serve, the increase
of wages and terminal expenses, and
the constant need of new equipment
and terminal facilities, called for large
sums of money.
'sThis can be obtained only by the
sale of securities; and there has been
no market for these at fair prices
notwithstanding the low capitalization
of American railroads as compared
with those of other countries. In TINS
emergency several roads have been
Obliged to meet their necessities by
the issue of short-time notes at hlgh
rates of interest These unsatisfactory
conditions must be changed before
there can be a general return to pros
''The country, in fact, is waiting to
see what is to be the attitude of pub
lie authorities, legislatures, commls-
sions and courts toward the railroad
interest. It needs and asks no faVors;
it is entitled to fair play, and the capl-
tai employed in it to reasonable pro-
fit When this appears certain, ana
public policies are framed according
iy. not only transportation but all
other industry will experience a real
return OF prosperity. --szs
stThe material welfare of the ma
ton will be promoted by every ex-
preston of determination on the part
of individuals and associations repre-
senting great interests to secure thaC
lust treatment and that security with
out which capital withdraws itself,
every form of indusry declines and all
the people suffer loss"

probably be: Hope and Walworth,
forwards; McCarroll, center, and
Brethour and ]. Stewart, guards. Bow
man, Clark, Adams, Aten, and a num-
Der of others will be on the s1delines
and may play portions of the game
Hope is captain of this seasons team
and is one of the best forwards in the
Missouri Valley. Hope is good free
thrower as we'll. Walworth outside of
not wanting to practice regularly is a
good man for the other forward posi-
ton He is a graduate, of the high
school team where he was recognized
as a star. At center McCarroll will
have few equals, if any, in Kansas
Last season he played center on one
of the high school teams of Philadel-
phia, and was the best interscholastic
center in the keystone state. Breth-
our at guard has had three years of
experience in the game and his ability
is well known. Jimmie Stewart who
will play the other guard is an athlete
who has been in the game for years.
Jimmie is one of the standbys of
Washburn. As far back as the aver
age citizen can remember Jimmie Ste
wart has in some way or other been
connected with Washburn athletics.
He has never been known as a star in
basket ball but those who have seen
him work out dope him up pretty
high
The game although the first game
of the season will be worth seeing,
and there will be plenty of sport for
those who are true blue sportsmen.

HEARST MAN ARRESTED.
Governor Is Carrying the War Into

Guthrie, Ok, Jan. 19.-On warrant
sworn out by Governor Haskell charg-
ing conspiracy to defame the governor,
Scott MacReynolds, attorney and spe-
cial agent for William r. Hearst, has
been arrested. Armed with a search
warrant also sworn to by Haskell,
MacReynolds' rooms at the lone hotel
were searched by Sheriff John Ma
honey and Orville T. Smith, private
attorney to the governor and a large
amount of data and papers seized per-
tanning to the $500, 900 libel suit insti-
tuted by Haskell against Mr.. Hearst.
MacReynolds Immediately demand
ed of the county court through his
counsel, Judge John H. Burford, the
Whereabouts of his papers. They were
found in the private Office of the gov
ernor and taken over by Sheriff Ma
honey at the courts order.
MacReynoIds had collected vast
amount of data, all secured in con-
fidence and in a statement, he declares
that Governor HaSk ellis purpose in
obtaining his arrest and the seizure
of his papers was to obtain possession
of this to ascertain its importance and
to learn from whom he had obtain

"Mr. MacReynolds had been in the

three months. at times assisted by one
or two other men from the east and

three or four people of our own state.
'I paid no attention to them until
recently when 1 learned that they were
disappointed at not finding anything
truthful to use against me, .whereupon
they became apparently desperate and
began offering large sums of money to

A RATE WAR LIKELY.
Expected to Follow Union Pacific's
Kansas City-Denyer Rate.

Denver, Jan. 19.-On account of the
one-cent-a-m mile rate for the round
trip from Denver to Kansas City re-
Gently put in bv the TTnjol7 Pacific.
there is likely to be a rate war between
western transcontinental lines from
the Missouri river. The rate was au-
thor1zed without the proper notice hav-
ing been given competing lines through
the Western Passenger association, con-
sequently other roads were not given
an opportunity to get in on the low
round trip rate, which was $3.50, less
than the one way rate, which is $14.35 s..
Railroad people in Denver do not dis
guise the fact that the action of the
Union Pacific will precipitate a general
rate war between western roads. 1t is
also intimated that several of the lines
anticipate Withdrawing from the
Western Passenger asso citation. This
possibility may have caused the Union
Pacific to act first in granting the ex-

Interest in basket ball at Washburn
has never been very strong. This has
been due primarily to the lack Of IA

burn nor even a place for the men to
work out. However, this difficulty Will
soon be removed, with the completion
of the new Washburn gymnasium.
This will be completed about the lat
