Paris.-There is every reason to
believe that suit will be brought
against the United States govern
ment for heavy damages due to the
caving-in of large part of the
ground beneath the old Protestant
cemetery in which the remains Of
John Paul Jones were found during
the year 1905( one building situated
above the cemetery having tilted to
a dangerous angle because of the CIV
ing away of the ground beneath. The
tenant brought suit against the land
for $4,000 and the landlord in turn
demanded indemnity from the mu-
nicipality of Paris, whose workmen
carried out the excavations. The
courts have decided that the landlord
is responsible to his tenants, filming
him $4,000 in favor of the tenant and
declaring that the city Of Paris Is not
in any way responsible.
The landlord is not satisfied with
the decision and he is now engaged
in bringing suit against the United
States government.

NO RAISE IN FARES.
Missouri Decision Will Not Have I'm
mediate Result Here.

Kansas, of course, is interested in
the result of the ruling of the Mis-
souri, supreme court recently in de-
claring the two cent fare law invalid.
The decision will not directly affect
this state for some time yet. as the
agreement of the railroad commission
by which Kansas gets the two cent
fare was based on the result of the
case before the Nebraska supreme
court
kansas will have the two cent fare
as long as any state in the central
west" said one of the commissioners
today. THE Missouri passenger case
carried with it most stringent freight
law which may have had something to
do with the adverse decision In that
case. The Nebraska case VIII be de-
cided on the merits of the two cent
fare proposition alone. Had Kansas
had the two cent law instead of the
agreement for the two cent fare the
state would have likely paid three
cents for transportation before it will
have to do so under this agreement
The commissioner did not know how
soon the Nebraska case would be de-
cided but stated that it was his under
standing that the Nebraska court was
only waiting for the Missouri decision

CAN WHIP THEM ALL.
What Former Manager of Jack john
son Says of Him.

Vancouver, B. c., March 1O.-Sam
Fitzpatrick erstwhile manager of Jack
Johnson, the worlds heavy weight
champion, in an interview this morn
ing, gave out the following statement
to the Associated Press:
Il can see nothing to it, but that
Johnson will be champion for as many
years as Jeffries held the title at any
rate. You may take from me that
johnson is not afraid to meet Jeffries.
The colored man says that he will meet
any man and literally that includes
Jeffries and he means it that way In
their fight at Sydney, Burns was never
in it for moment. He had no chance
at all. I believe fully that Johnson is
the greatest fighter now in sight, black
or white. He has great courage and is
as quick agile and hard as a big tiger -
Fitzpatrick read in detail the inter-
view given the Associated Press in
he had finished, he suggested that the
big boilermaker was under rating
johnson and said:
Jeffries Only Match for Johnson.
There is only one white man who
has any right in the ring with johnson
that even Jeffries could beat the black.
Jeffries is a long way from being in
shape and even if he could get in con-
dition, 1 sincerely believe, knowing both

the better of it. For Corbett to fight
Johnson would be ridiculous. Kethcell
is altogether too small. 1t would be
shame to match them. For second
choice ater Jeffries. 1 would select Jim
Barry, of Chicago, but really he
have a chance. Johnson is
destined to have the championship for
some time in my way of thinking"
Bears johnson No Ill VIII.
Johnsons former manager bears the
big coIored man no i'll will, declaring
with a shrug of his shoulders that it
was impossible for any man to handle
Johnson after he gained the title. john
son has wanted since then to be his
own boss absolutely, thought Fftzpat-
rick declared that he understand the
white wife would assist in
arranging matches for him.
Fitzpatrick left this afternoon for Sc
attle, en- route to San Francisco, whence
he goes to New York.
Regarding his fight with Burns, Jack
Johnson said this morning that no pro-
position was made to hi INTO lay down
to Burns. But he added:
II know though that Referee McIn-
Josh was supposed to be fixed to give
Burns all he could"

STUBS IN DOUBT.
Governor May Veto Two Bills Passed
by Legislature.

Governor Stubs breathed a sigh of
relief when the legislators finished their
work and went home and this morning
settled himself down for a lot of rou-
tine work at the desk. but he had about
as many callers as ever. However, the
governor succeeded ,in getting all the
bills signed except two or three that
he was in doubt about. He said he did
not want it to be understood that he
made up his mind what he will do with
the few measures he yet has before
him. He may sign them and again he
may apply the ak.
One of these bills is that giving the
state charter board more power in the
matter of latitude to refuse a charter
to doubtful Questionable corporation,
ana the other confers the authority on
DoardS or county commissioner to build
jails and court houses without calling
an election to pass on the matter.
AS regards the work of the legislature
the governor was not yet ready to make
any statement concerning its work and
the work 1t did not do. He is in his
usual good spirits and does not seem to
be cast down much about the death of
his particular friend, the utilities bill
This bill is gone. but not by any means
frogotten by the governor.
Speaking of the report that Lot Raw
enscraft would not accept the tax COM
mission job offered him last week. the
governor said that the western ranch
man had not yet formally notified him
that he would not accept the place and
intimated that it would be left just it
was for the present. The governor has
until July to fill the place and unless
he is formally notified of Ravenscraft's
refusal to take the place the present
appointm will stand.
The appointment of a warden at the
state penitentiary was mentioned but
the governor declined to discuss that
matter
September to fill the place and was not
thinking much about it just now.
