THREATENS VETO.
Taft Attaches a Singer to His
Tariff UItimatum.
He and Cannon Find Themselves
on Opposing Sides.
ON JUST TWO POINTS.
Lumber and Gloves the Bones
of Contention.
Western Senators Holding Out
on the Former Item.

Washington, July 29.-President
Taft's letter to the tariff conference
outlining his position on the items
which still are in doubt, has created
a considerable sensation among the
conferees. The exact terms of rhe
letter have not been given out, but
1t is regarded as an ultimatum from
him and is interpreted as meaning
that if his terms are not complied
with he will veto the bill when it
reaches him. After giving the figures
which he is willing to concede on
lumber, gloves, hosiery, leather and
leather goods, he states in the letter
that he has given much consideration
to the subject and has reached the
conclusion that it would be quite un-
wise if not impossible to make furth-
er concessions. He says that if his
terms are accepted he will exert his
influence in both houses of congress
10 have the conference report accept
ed, but that if these various schedules
are not adjusted in accordance with
his suggestions he would feel Jailed
upon to reject the bill when sent to
him.
The deadlock over these provisions
mas brought to the surface the fact
that there is a very sharp difference
OF opinion between the president and
Speaker Cannon. The speaker has
been reported to the' president as
saying that if the bill did not take
proper care of gloves no rule for the
adoption of the conference report
could be favorably acted upon by the
house.
The president understood perfectly
that he was directly antagonizing the
speaker when he wrote his letter to
the conferees. When, at 1855 o. M.
the conference took a recess until 2:3O
the deadlock had not been broken
1t was announced that the lumber
rate was settled yesterday and that 50
far as the conferees were concerned
had not been changed. The matter has
been talked over with a number of
western senators, who it was stated,
are holding out very strongly for the
high rate. The conferees also talke
over the question of whether they
would have to adopt the presidents
programme and it all depended on
whether or not they would be able to
get it through either or both houses.
In the event that the glove schedule
is finally settled to the satisfaction of
the president, the impression prevails
that a complete agreement on the 9th
err schedules in dispute will be speedily
reached and the report may be ready
for submission to the house tomorrow

WILL LOOK 1T OVER.
Committee Appointed to Consider Dis
play in Chicago.

A meeting was held today at the
Commercial club of representatives of
the Topeka Real Estate Dealers as
ISOLATION, Commercial club and Ad
club to discuss with Mr.. E. P. Hovey
of the immigration department of the
Rock Island railroad the question of
securing space and preparing an eX-
hibit for the Land and Irrigation ex-
position to be held in the Chicago
coliseum November 20 to December 4.
The matter was thoroughly threshed
over yesterday by the board of direc-
tors of theReal Estate asso citation. The
board was favorably impressed by the
idea but thought it wise to try to in
terest the other organizations of the
Commercial club in the enterprise.
The exposition is being pushed by
the Chicago Tribune, and is said not
to be a money making scheme. Be
tween now and the date of the open
ing of exposition this newspaper Will
advertise extensively the various dis
plays to be shown. 1t is Il purely
agricultural and horticultural SHOW
and this afternoon those present were
of the opinion that a very creditable
exhibit could be got together from
this section of the state. 1t was the
sentiment of the meeting that to make
a successful display would necessitate
a larger expenditure than Topeka is
able to affordfi so the final outcome of
the meeting was that committee of
five was appointed to negotiate with
towns, including Lawrence and EN-
poria, to see if their cooperation can
not be obtained. Mr.. Hovey was asked
to reserve 156 square feet of space for
a week until action can be taken At
$3.50 a square foot the cost of the
space alone would amount to $3.50 in
round numbers In discussing the
proposition this afternoon the esti-
mated cost of arranging and main
tanning an exhibit would be anywhere
from $500 to $2,250.
Mr.. w. c. stephenson, who presid-
ed at the meeting, appointed the fol-
lowing gentlemen to go into the prOpo-
sition thoroughly: Scott Hopkins,
Real Estate Dealers association; Z.
w. Rankin, Ad club; N. B. Burge,
Commercial club; Samuel E. Lux,
Butchers and Grocers' association,
and Frank P. MaeLennan, Advertising
commission.
Mr. Hovey, who leaves for the west
tomorrow, left a blank contract, which
may be signed later if the proposition
is finally looked upon favrably.

PARTRIDGE CALLED.
Former Attorney of Harry Thaw
Testifies in Habeas Corpus Case.

White Plains, n. Y, July 29.-Pale and
somewhat haggsrd although still con-
fident of his ability to prove himself
sane and fit for release from the asy-
Ium Harry K ThaW appeared in the
supreme court room today for the sec
ond days examination by District At
torney Jerome.
Tkaw's examir alton was delayed a
few moments while his attorney called
Clifford w. Hartridge, Thaw's former
counsel. 1t was from Hartridge that
Susan Merrill said she received $4,000
to be paid to women alleged to have
been abused by Thaw in her New
York lodging house. The money, she
testified, came from the Thaw family.
This morning Mr.. Morschauser tried to
get possession of the books containing
the accounts of these payments which
Mrs Merrill said she had turned over
to Fartridge. He failed because the
witness said the account books had been
destroyed and other memorandum books
lost. ThaW'S attorney brought out the
fact that Hartridge was suing Mrs.
William C. Thaw for a balance claimed
for his legal services which he alleges
consisted largely in suppressing reve-
l&tions damaging to Thaw and his
family.
Susan Merrill was in court again to-
day.
Replying to questions by Mr.. jerome,
Hr. Hartrldge said he had paid out
considerable sums of money and that his
INSTRUCTIONS
come from Mr.. ThaW. Mr.. Hartridge
was not instructed as to whom he
should pay the money. He added that
Thaw gave him small amounts of mon
ey for Mrs. Merrill and sent word to
her that Mr.. Reid says to say nothing
Nh. EIartridge also was to tell Mrs. Mer-
riu to Keep quiet about what happen
ed in her house and to keep everybody
else quiet, and to obtain from her let
tiers to Mr.. Reid"
NTr ri received a
mysterious telegram Thaw addressed
to Roger O'Mara, ex-chief of detectives
of Pittsburg. directing him to get three
tin boxes kept by a certain Miss Bell
in the Highlands exchange in that
city Let nobody else have Them
said the message to Mr.. O'Mara. An
other message contained in this tele
gram told Miss Bell to deliver the boxes
to Mr. O'Mara and cautioned her Ito
let nobody have them"
Were you ever sent to anybody by
Thaw to get a whip?" asked Jerome.
Mo- said Hartridge.

SIDERS IN EARNEST

The committee representing the East
Side Improvement association, consist
ing of Lee Herring, Charles Darby, anI
Frank Curry, met this afternoon to
enter into contract with Engineer v.
R. Parkhurst to go i~+0 the drainage
proposition thoroughly, mapping out
the boundaries of the proposed new
drainage district and drawing up
plans and specifications together with
the estimated cost of effecting the
changes NECESSARY to do away with the
annual danger from floods.
Mr.. Parkhurst says that at the pres
ent time he is not in a position to eX-
press his opinion upon the details which
City Engineer Rogers has worked out,
but he asserts that If these plans can
be worked out in a practical manner
the flood proposition will undoubtedly
be solved. By making cutoff of 500
yards in length mile of the creek
can be cut out. Mr.. Parkhurst esti-
mates that 40 square miles are drained
by the creek. The proposed new
drainage district will take in a territory
much more extensive than at the pres
ent time extending as far as the
mouth of the stream where it emptieS
into the KaW.

GOVERNOR IS BACK.
Tells Lake View Fish Story That VIII
StartIe George Clark.

Governor Stubs came back from
his summer vacation today. He is
feeling fine, he says. and gives Lake
View a kid glove recommendation as
a summer resort. The governor has
been away ten days, his first vacation
since assuming his office the first of
the year.
He declared that he did not have
the least idea who he would appoint to
the place of private secretary made
vacant by the appointment of John
Dawson to the place as attorney for
that this appointment will be made for
several days yet. Business is dull in
the executive department at this time
of year and there is no pressing need
of a secretary right now. Charlie
Gibbs, executive clerk, will attend to
the duties of the secretary until the
appointment is made.
The governor brought back from
Lake View the biggest fish story of the
season for Kansas He only caught
one fish himself while on his vacation,
but he took along with him Professor
Dyche, a noted fisherman. One day
while the governor an dthe professor
were fishing in the lake in boat the
latter got a bite. 1t was a whale that
had swallowed the hook-nothing less.
The governor declared that the mon
ster fish at the end of the line car
ried the boat at lightning speed for
half a mile across the lake. The
piles that had been driven in the bed
of the lake at that point and was
nearly capsized. The fish got away.
The governor estimated that the
fish must have weighed seventy
pounds and was undoubtedly a catfish
that had been washed into the lake
during the recent rise in the Kaw
