DICKINSON FOR 1T.
He Wants a National Park at Niagara
Falls.

| Washington, Dec. %. - In the re-
port of the committee of landscape
architects recommending the creation
of a national park at Niagara Falls,
which has been transmitted to con-
gress with the favorable endorsement
of Secretary of War Dickinson. much
detail is given.
The committee urges that a strip
of property be acquired by the United
States connecting with the state res
ervation at one end and extending the
whole length of the gorge. embracing
the Talus, the cliff and tract of
land not less than 100 yards wide,
to be converted into national reser-
walton.
It is set forth that all buildings
within the strip can be destroyed or
moved back under such arrangements
as will impose the least hardship on
private owners and corporations; tina,
the vegetation can be readily restored
the whole area in the immediate vi
| cinity of the falls and the gorge will
return as nearly as possible to the
original conditions with the added adj
vantage OF accessibility.
BY additional legislation and agree
ments with Canadian government the
diversion OF water for power pur-
poses. should, in the opinion of the
committee, be kept in such limits that
the impressiveness of the cataract
| shall not be diminished.
Concurring with the recommends
| lions for the reservation. Secretary
Dickinson leaves the question of it's
general scope and the acquisition of
land to the judgment and liberality
| of congress.
1T will be generally conceded"
says the secretary that the preserva-
| ton OF the scenic features of this
great water fall Is an object which
appeals with peculiar force to the
American people and that object can
best be attained by the acquisition of
| such lands on the American side of
the river as are necessary to the es-
| Enlistment of such national park -

TO SEE ABOUT GAS.
M. f. Amrine and Professor Hoad Will
Investigate.

Prof, w. c. Hoad, of the state I'M
iversity, and NJ. F. Amrine, confiden-
tial clerk in the governors office, hav-
ing qualified as natural gas experts,
went ava to the gas fields of south
ern Kansas to Investigate the stu
alton and report their findings of fact
to the attorney general in order that
he may bring suit against the Kansas
Natural Gas company. The object Of
this suit will be to make the company
supply Kansas towns with plenty of
gas as per prior contracts. before fur
nishing gas to cities located outside the
state.
What these two experts know about
natural gas and gas wells and pipe
lines and the development and trans
portation of gas is good and plenty.
Prof. Hoad burns the gas in his kitch-
en- range while Amrine used to run a
gasoline engine in the press room OF
his Council Grove Guard.
have about 800 gas wells in Montgom-
cry county alone with an aggregate
flow of about billion cubic feet of
gas per day. They are using about one
tenth of this gas and over half of their
wells are capped. One pipe line con-
meets the gas fields with the cities OF
eastern Kansas and northwestern Mis-
souri,. Topeka shiverS in cold weather
because only certain amount of gas
can be ..crammed"s into one pipe line.
Still, these experts may bring re-
port that Will throw different light on
the situation. What an editor and a
school man from the Kaw valley will
do in the gas fields is bound to re-
main an unsolved problem until the re-
turns are all in. The neople should
hope for the best.

BOYS DON'T READ BOOKS.
Juvenile Court Boys Knew Nothing of
City Library.

In an effort to more thoroughly ia
miIiarize himself with the home infiu-
ences of his wards. Judge W. F.
Schoch of the juvenile court today ex-
amined a class of delinquent boys on
the subject of books. He found that
few of the boys read books, although
some had read Robinson Crusoe and
not one of them said their parents
were patrons of the city library. They
did not know they could get books
from the library.
about one-third of the white boys
had read Robinson Crusoe.' said
Judge Schoch.
"All five of the colored bows had
read Uncle Toms Cabin
Not one of the boys had read 'Plu-
tarch's Lives and none had read the
history of the United States except
in their school work.
lone of the boys, whose parents
formerly patronized the city library,
explained that he had been buying
him what they were and he told me
they were Try and Trust Want and
Hope and Sink and Swim
Every boy said he would like to
read books, but none knew he could
get books at the city library.
Most of the boys wanted stories
of adventure and travel.
"Only one boy said his parents had
books in the house. One little colored
fellow said he had looked at the
preachers books.
Nov and then 1 have to send a
boy to the reform school. but not
often
Among the boys Judge Schoch is a
favorite. They say they like him and
like to keep their weekly appoint
ments with him. Some mothers OBJ
ject to the supervision of their sons
by the juvenile court. but the boys
grow to like it. One man. whose son
was a ward of the court for. time
but who conducted himself SO well
that he was later dismissed, says his
son still wants to report to Judge
Schoch on Saturdays with the rest OF
the boys.
Every Saturday m orning a crowd OF
boys from II to 15 years of age car
be seen in Judge Schoch's office. edg-

Thirty-thir1 street apartment building

from DEATH one being swung across an

and another plunging through the
glass of a closed window several feet

Fire, starting on the fourth floor,
found oil soaked woodwork to feed
upon and the Railways were soon filled
with smoke. cutting off escape by the
ordinary exits. Most of the tenants
were rescued from the fire escapes.

DEWEY FOR MARSHAL:
Former HANSEN Expects to Land the
Plum In Chicago.

Chicago, Dec. 22.-Chauncey Dewey,
one of the original Taft men in I'LL
nois, believes he is likely to be APP
pointed United States marshal for the
Chicago district. In such event he will
be the successor to Marshal Luman T.
Hoy.
Word from Washington to Dewey and
his friends was to the effect that all
obstacles hal been removed from the
way of the Dewey appointment, which
has been on the schedule since con-
gress convened.
1t has been known that Senator Lori
mer had added his consent to the ap-
prevail of Senator Cullom to the pro-
posed appointment Of Col. Dewey. It
has been realized all the way through
that friends of Marshal Hoy, especially
from Hopkins sources. would battle his
displacement. Mr.. Hoy halls from
Speaker Shurtleff's district. and dur
ing the Lorimer senatorial campaign
in behalf of Mr.. Hopkins.
Dispatches. however. from Wash
ington stated with consider able posi-
tiveness that there was nothing doing
in the way of marshalship for Col.
Dewey ct this junction. Col. Dewey,
according to the dispatches, may be
made naval officer at the port of Chi
cago in succession to Admiral T. N.
Jameson. It was intimated that Ad-
miral Jameson does not wish to give
up the job and Furthermore it is known
that Col. Dewey does not want such a
billet.
The local information was that Post
master General Hitchcock has promis-
ed the Chicago marshalship to Col
Dewey and Furthermore that Col Dewey,
for political reasons. will be glad to
accept the post.
The information from Washington,
however, was based partly on a state
