GREAT BUILDING MONTH.
Permits in Fifty-Two Cities in March
Show Big Increase.

Chicago, April s.-Building operations
curing March throughout the country
were on a phenomenal scale in point of
money invested. according to advance
sheets of the Construction News. Per-
mits We're issued in So principal cities
for the construction of 20,71S buildings,
involving a total estimated cost of So
SOS, 1853, as compared with 17,481 build
ings costing $69.05S1s4 the same month
a year ago.
There were increases in SO cities and
decreases in 10.
The Construction News will say:
THE Pacific coast is the center of
interest for a great many persons who
study the growth of cities, and for the
first time the coast presents contradic-
tory conditions. San Francisco showing
a decrease of Al per cent while Los An
geles has a gain of 40 oer cent Seat
tie has loss of AZ per cent and Port
land, a gain of IS per cent. Oakland
has an increase of 40 per cent, while
San Diego makes a jump of 354 per
cent Tacoma has an increase of % per
cent. The decrease at Seattle should
not be dishcartening as it is about time
that city should have a lull because of
previous tremendous activity.
Conditions for a continuation of ac-
tivity seem good in all parts of the

TAKE A GLOOMY VIEW.
New York Charitable Bodies Deny
Return of Prosperity.

New York, April 8.-Charitable or
CARNATIONS here take a gloomy view
of recent statements from various
sources to the effect that prosperity
has returned. The annual report of
the relief department of the Associa-
ton for Improving the condition OF
the Poor says:
New York city is only about 3 per
cent recovered from hard times and
principal reason for the retarding OF
this recovery
1.-THE total number of cases before
the association at present shows SO
per cent increase over the same period
in 1906, a normal year, and only IL
per cent decrease from last year.
1.-THE statistics of application for re-
lief during the months following acute
industrial depression are a fair index
of the degree of recovery reached by
the poor. Our work for the past six
ing the aftermath of the panic. The
very poor are getting on their feet
very slowly. Newspapers and public
speakers may be enthusiastic in their
descriptions OF the Better times that
are now with Us but families that for
months were underfed and over anx-
ious because work and income had
failed, are still in arrears with rent,
still eating neager meals and still
need assistance.
There is no evidence among ap-
cially in the case of unskilled labor
although employment is more general. p"

crease in cost of living to the poor for
the period of 19O6-1910 at II Is per

STUBS GIVEN SHOCK.
Usage Farmer Who Beat Him ON Corn
Deal Sends Note.

A former Usage county farmer (name
withheld) today furnished some re-
1narkable testimony for the conscience
fund column. Twenty-three years ago
this farmer sold w. r. Stubs, now
governor, then contractor, a lot of
corn. 1t seems that in this deal the
farmer withheld eighteen bushels Of
corn from delivery. After twenty-three
years that mans conscience hammered
in the door of his wicked heart and he
wrote to Governor Stubs to tell him
about the short change in the corn deal.
Corn was selling at so cents a bushel
twenty-three years ago and this farmer
figured that the eighteen bushels he
was paid for and did not deliver would
come to SO and he added thereto inter
est on the debt at the rate of 10 per
cent per annum, making total Of
S23.1O indebtedness to the governor He
gave his note for the amount, payable
early next fall The man wrote to tell
of how he had failed to raise crop
the past few years, but that the debt
was hanging heavy on his mind and he
wanted to give his note for it. If ne
really pays off the note he is entitled
to the record for the most honest man
in the world, for he used a 10 per cent
rate of interest in computing his debt.
Twenty years ago money brought 10
per cent in Kansas. Now 1t brings
only and per cent.
Governor Stubs was astounded upon
reading the letter. He had forgotten
all about the corn deal, but the letter
reminded him of the transaction.

The benevolent Elks do good. That's
why they give a benefit" Their an
nual benefit hitherto has been a min
strel show and their jokes have been
well qualified as minstrel jokes, plus
quantity of nerve. which has caused
embarrassment and bushes. In the in
novation of a musical comedy this sea-
son, the order has eliminated any OBJ
jectionable matter and a perfect lady
may attend with impunity.
The Inside Inn." the show last
night is well adapted for amateur
performance A musical comedy de-
ponds upon the singing and girls. The
Topeka talent gathered is good.
A hit was made by Miss Huldah
Chaplin, who rendered me Heart
Breaker Rags"
The costumes of the chorus are
sometimes long and some times short.
The chorus is fair.
The Inside Inn" is a snappy show.
It's just full of life-plenty of catchy
songs. jokes which are really funny
and lines which please. It's bubbling
with pretty music and one could con-
tract the whfstDng habit with ease if
he witnessed the Spiece couple of
times. 2s@c-
The chorus is made up of Topeka
maids. This is proof it's a cracking
pretty one. The girls act like real
chorus ladies. the kind the Holsters
dinners at Rector's and Shanley's-
when they are on the stage. The
chorus is well trained and the girls
take an interest in their work They
sing-sing with spirit. as if they en-
joyed it. No half-hearted efforts for
them. The costuming is excellent. OF
course some of the dresses are short,
but then. what would a musical COM
edy be if it were not for short dresses
They are proper-especially when a
flock of Elks is interested.
Taken all in all, the show is a credit
both to the Elks themselves and to
those in the cast. It's good-there is
no question about tits good. Many
of the highly praised musical COM
panies which have visited the Grand
have failed to come up by a long ways
to- the Inside Inn" despite the very
active efforts of their dope agents.
If you want to see a musical quail on
toast served a la Elk. just take your
best girl or your wife and drop down
to the Grand tonight.

UP TO BUSINESS MAN.
VIM SchiefIIin Says He Is Primarily
Responsible for Political Graft.

New York. April S.-A fund of
100000 for 1.-The purifying of bust
ness through the diligent prosecution
of commercial fraud" will be raised
here, if a proposal submitted to the
National Association of Credit Men is
approved.
According to William jaw Schieff1in.
president of the New York Citizens
union, and other prominent civic and
business organizations, corruption
among business men is primarily re-
sponsible for graft and corruption in
politics, and the purifying of business
is as necessary as reform in legislative
bodies.
.'Stories of graft and corruption in
three. states-Ohio, Pennsylvania and
New York-occupy columns in my
morning newspaper said Mr.. Schief-
fin.
"All these stories of legislative cor
ruption concern business matters. We
are fond of blaming legislators for
graft. but first and foremost the blame
is on business men. CommercialiSm,
which should be an honorable word,
has come to be a term of reproach.
Honest business men know the truth
and feel sense of shame at these ex-
noSIIreS'

Republican Opponents of Payne Tariff
Decide to Press the Fight.

Washington, April S.-Inspired by
the attitude of the Indiana .Republi-
can convention towards the tariff law,
and Representative FosS's success in
the recent Massachusetts congreSSiOn-
al election, the Republican advocates
of a tariff commission are determined
to press their cause before the adj
journment of the present session of
congress, it was said today. They de-
clared the Payne-Aldrich bill is so
manifestly failing to meet the de-
mands of the country that the Re
publicans must do something to place
themselves on a better basis.
Contending that all the arguments
are favorable to commission they
are promising the only possible scien-
tific revision of the tariff, they will
take the first favorable opportunity
to press for action

two.
Warrants charging felony were
granted by the county attorneys office
this morning. Laws provide punish

KICKED OUT OF KANSAS.
Consolidated Casualty Company Must
Fix Up Affairs.

AS regards the early morning dis
patches about the bad condition of the
Consolidated Casualty company of
West Virginia, with headquarters at
Chicago, superintendent of Insurance
Barnes stated today taht this company
had been denied any right to do bust
ness in this state after March L of this
year. The company's permit had ex-
pired March 1 and on account of the
bad reports in connection with its bust
ness standing the insurance superin-
tendent had declined to renew this per
NIT until a satisfactory showing had
been made.
The company had secured charter
from West Virginia and had its head
quarters located in Chicago. 1t did a
considerable business in Kansas and
Arkansas.
This same company had been en-
dorsed by the state bankers conven-
ton. On the occasion of recent in
spection of its affairs by the West Vir-
ginia department of insurance there
was revealed a condition of impair
ment of it's finances which led the de-
partment to virtually take control of
its affairs It is hoped that the COM
pany may be reorganized by reducing
its capital stock to 100000.

Lawrence, Kan, April S.-Fifteen
hundred students of the University
of Kansas voted unanimously today in
favor of abolishing the Thanksgiving

has been the big feature of university
athletics in this section for Is years.
The students voted to hold the
game on the Saturday before Thanks

The abolition of the Kansas City
game would remove all the objec-

resolution. There are commercial
ism, gambling on the game and

SUGAR TRUST FINED.
Assessed $500 for Being in Contempt
of Court.

New York, April S.-Judge Lacomb OF
the United States circuit court today
adjudged the American Sugar Refining
company in contempt of court and fined
the corporation $500. The contempt
consisted in the failure to respond to
the subpoena calling for the produc-
ton of two books of account before the
federal grand jury yesterday. The
company based it's refusal to respond to
the subpoena on the ground that there
were legal and constitutional questions
involved and that it proposed an appeal
from the order of the court directing
the submission of the books.
