Jimmie Burns, who had served terms In

here last night, according TO testimony
given today before the corOner's jury by
Chief Of Police II, A. Thompson.
Chief Thompson stated that he had known
Burns personally and that scars on the
dead mans body and his size and com
plexion correspond with the description OF
the man,
The appearance OF the mems clothing, to-
gether with the fact that the Tulsa banks
have a large supply OF money on hand, led
the authorities TO believe that the me

But while we are demanding that the
government do its work we should not neg

constitutional inhibition preventing It's en-
aging in works Of internal Improvement
should amend by striking 1t put The
states have a lot to do in this matter,
New York is leading the way along which
all the states should prepare to follow.
And there is much for the cities and
counties to do. The great question OF free
and publicly owned docks and wharves has
not yet been even considered. And yet II
is one on which will hinge the prosperity OF
many a river port in the Missouri valley In
the good days TO come when all our rivers
will be eanalized, and the commerce OF l
continent shall sweep from Montana's
mountains to the gulf.
Let me control the river front OF d
town and 1 care not who owns its boats.
Free Docks Inspected.
Free and publicly owned docks have
been found essential to the development of
great ports everywhere. 1t is so at New
York, San Francisco and New Orleans. Il
is so at Liverpool. Hamburg, Havre' the
Tyne ports, Glasgow and every great free
port. 1t is only privately owned
like that at Duiuth that can succeed ON
privately owned docks. London confronts
the problem OF spending s2OO,OOO,VCO for the
complete -municipalization OF her docks.
THE docks Of Chicago and Buffalo are
owned mostly by the railways. None Of
them are public, As a result the water
traffic from Chicago to Buffalo ts con-
trolled by the railways and the rates are
not competitive. The government might as
we'll have made the harbors at these cities
and given them to the railways al. TO have
made them within banks owned or con-
trolled by the railways.

At dinner the professor of history
was seated between two young ladies,
who, in accordance with their training
in the art of conversation. sought to
draw him out upon the subject in
which he was most interested. They
did not meet with much success: his
answers were short-"Yes,'' "Oliver
Cromwell mo-" "1492," and the
like.
Finally. one of them in desperation
ventured:
Professor, we were wondering only
this afternoon. and none of us could
remember, How many children did
Mary Queen of Scots have?"
This was too much. Madame"

There was considerable debate at the
church laymen's gathering at the Com

quarters for the organization. The

in favor of the Y. M. C. A. as the logi-

convention will probably bring 1900 or
1000 delegates to Topeka in February.
