by Senator Curtis which is to auth
orize the secretary of the interior to
rent water to actual settlers and make
such adjustments as he may deem
proper in regard to rights and obli-
cations involved in water-right appli-
cations and in contracts made with
water users associations. The bill is
intended to meet the situation which
has arisen in the Garden City project
and others under the reclamation act
where, after the issuance of public
notice, such conditions have develop
ed as to make 1t difficult or fmprac-
ticable to carry out for the time being
the full intent of the project. The
most important feature of the meas
ure reads as follows:
THAT the secretary of the interior
may in his discretion withdraw any
public notice issued under the re-
clamation act of June, 1902, and he
may agree to such modification of
water-right applications duly filed or
contracts with the water-userS aSso-
Citations and others entered into prior
to such withdrawal as he may deem
advisable, or he may consent to the
abrogation of such water-right appli-
cations and contracts and proceed in
all respects as If no such notice had
been given

TO BE LESS PIE.
The Postmaster General Recon-
mends Civil Service
Be Applied to All Second and
Third Glass Offices.
TAFT HAS DECIDED
On Applying Rule to Fourth
Glass Appointments.
Curtis's Water Rights Bill is
FavOrably Reported.
TAFT HAS DECIDED

Washington, April 2O.-The Kansas
postmasters will be interested in the
recommendation of Postmaster General
Hitchcock to place certain postmasters
under civil service. and that offices of
the f1rSt-class be excluded from politi-
cal assets of the party.
The postmaster general has asked
President Taft to put under civil SER
vice all the second and third class post
masters in the country and to adopt a
rule that no first class postmaster shall
be deprived of his position for any
cause save the good of the service.
With such a plan. which Mr.. Hitch
cock believes the president will take
steps to enforce, the postmaster general
contemplates elevating the entire pos
tai service above the reach of mere
job seekers and politicians who wish
to reward their constituents with places
on the federal payrolIs.
The administration has already prac-
tically decided to put all the fourth class
postn1aStecS under tho classified SER
vice by executive order. About one
half of the fourth class offices in the
territory largely east of the Mississippi
river are now under the civil service
blaukel.
To place the second and third class
postmaste-s under civil service would
require legislation by congress Mem
bers of the senate and house are di-
vided on this question of curtailing this
class If appointments. hut 1t is be-
1ieved, however. that should the presi-
dent insist upon such Legislation. he
would get it.
Friends OF the postmaster general
point out that his action in this re-
gard reflex es MIN of the accusation that
he uses his department for merely no
litical purposes.

Ii No Allowance Is Made Will

Nothing to the Talk Of Resig-
nation.

1t was rumored around the city hal
this morning that the newly appointed
civil service commission is going on a
strike. The rumor stated that the
cause for the strike was the fact that
the members receive no pay from the
city for their services.
When asked about the matter this
afternoon c. G. Blakely of the com
mission and G. E. Barnahy both ad-
mitted that the commissioners would
probably ask the CITY for a small re-
Enumeration, but they had no thought
of striking or resigning from their
duties
"Of course. we would welcome a
small pay for the work and time con-
nected with the Office said Mr..
Blakely this afternoon 'but as far as
a strike is concerned. 1 would never
resign for thing like that. If the city
officials prefer that we do this work
for the honor alone. 1 will gladly do
it, because 1 Will feel that I am doing
something for the city
G. E. Barnaby, secretary of the civil
service commission, expressed the
same opinion.
II think that we will put the matter
up to the city commissioners and ask
them concerning the salary said Mr..
they are perfectly willing to pay us
something for the work we do. AS far
as that strike rumor is concerned
there is nothing to it,
A majority Of the commissioners feel
that the civil service commission
should be paid per diem for their
work. The commission government
laws says nothing about pay and it is
supposed that the civil service COM
mission are 10 serve without pay.
It is probable that a small sum of
about So per meeting will be given to
the civil service commissioners.

ADVANCE SALE HEAVY.
Local Music Lovers Take Interest in
Big Spring Festival.

Great interest is being evinced in
the coming spring musical festival on
the part of the music lovers of To-
peka, and the advance sale of seats is
heavy. There has been so much sur
prise expressed in respect to the
cheapness of the season tickets that
a number of persons have called up
by phone to inquire if some mistake
had not been made in stating the
prices.
It was only on account of the large
seating capacity of the auditorium and
faith that the people of Topeka would
Jump at the chance to attend the big
musical event. that the management
decided to offer such ridiculously low
prices.
Those who heard the Minneapolis
symphony orchestra last year know
that 1t needs no introduction, and it is
the general talk that the organization
Of sixty musicians-an experts-has
improved during the past year if that
is possible.
Among the soloists is Carlo Fischer,
the first cellist of the orchestra, who
is well known all over the country. He
spent years in study IN Europe, and
has made a hit in this country where
ever he has been heard.
Tickets are on sale at StansheId's-
81 for the four events.

Question by Judge Latshaw.

Kansas City, Mo-, April 20.-Anxious
to avoid several hundred people,
mostly women. who blocked the main
entrance to the criminal, court room.
DR.. Hyde and his wife slipped quietly
into the building through a side en-
trance regularly used only by prison
ers and officers. this afternoon.
Spectators were barred from the
court room as soon as the seats were
filled. Disappointed ones pounded on
the doors, demanding admittance. Mar
shals forcibly removed two women
who insisted upon occupying chairs re-
served for attorneys. Attorney Walsh
declared he had in his possession pa
pers containing notes of the testimony
of DR.. Walter s. Haines. given before
the grand jury, which showed that the
scientists had declared that no cyanide
of potassium was found in the stom-
ach of Colonel Swope
These papers. Walsh said, had been
found in a street by a woman and
turned over to him. Mr.. Walsts asser-
ton followed a demand of the court for
Mr. Wash to tell whether he had in
his possession Papers belonging to the
state.
II refuse to answer" shouted Mr..
Walsh.
Then bring in the jury said Judge
Latshaw, striking the desk with his
fist.
Mr.. Walsh rushed forward to the
bench and made the startling state

"a man holding papers belonging to
the state is no better than a thief
said the court holly.
Pointing toward the Jail, adjoining
the criminal court building, Mr.. Walsh
shouted:
You honor, do you see those gal
lows?"
Attorney Lucas interrupted and Mr..
Walsh did not finish the sentence.
Prosecutor Conkl1ng broke into the
conversation and said:
IF these papers are returned we will
give the defense a carbon copy of
Them"
TT is the proof of a mans innocence
that we hold" holly said Mr. Lucas.
And the same papers contain evidence
Of the guilt of the defendant" interposed
Mr.. Conkling.
Marshal, take charge of the defend
ant" said Judge Latshaw rising from his
chair. II will look into this matter"
Before Judge Lathshaw had left the
bench. Mr.. Walsh expressed a desire to
explain how the papers came into his
possession.
IAN advertisement was inserted in a
local paper saying a certain woman had
found papers connected with the case. 1
went to her house and found that they
were these notes.
''They contained proof of my clients in
nocence. With them in my possession I
could prove his innocence. BY refusing
to take them thought might make a
nocent man.

to tell every one who asked that I took
