BLOCKED BY ROOT.
Postal Savings Bank Bill Is in Danger
of Defeat.

Washington, Feb. 16.-Unless Sena-
tor Root can pe induced to withdraw
or materially modify his amendment to
the postal savings bank bill, requiring
the investment of postal deposits in
United States bonds. that measure
probably will be defeated in the senate.
The friends of the bill today practical
ly admit this is the situation.
The situation developed very sud
denly soon after the senate met and it
came in connection with a peculiar
parliamentary tangle
The ordinary calendar was taken up
and all the generally accepted bills
were disposed of within an hour. Sena-
tor Carter moved an executive session
which at 1:10 p. m. resulted in ad-
journment for the day.
While the executive session was pro-
ceeding, number of the friends of
the original postal savings bank bill
notes, found themselves unalterably
opposed to the Root amendment. On
the other hand, there are many soma
tors who are staunchly supporting the
Root provision and unless a compro-
mise can be reached the doom of the
bill admittedly is sealed.
The statement of the president in
his Lincoln day New York speech that
if the Root amendment should pre-
vail the funds would be invested in the
. per cent bonds, which have failed to
find a market has had the effect of
rendering the antagonism to the
amendment far more intense,

NORTON WINS ANOTHER ONE.
Defeats Mankato in Fast Basketball
Game.

Mankato, Kan, Feb. 1.-THE Nor
ton county high school basketball team
stopped off on their way home from
the state Y. M. c. A. convention at
Topeka and won a fast, snappy game
from the locals here last night. The
game was holly contested throughout,
and was either teams game until the
blow of the whistle. This was the
last game on a schedule of four which
were played with Kensington, Belle
vile, Clay Center and Mankato, losing
only to Clay Center. The Norton boys
are an exceptionally good team. They
play good clean basketball, having
lost only one game in the two years
that they have been playing. During
this time they have met and defeated
the best high school teams in south
western Nebraska, northwestern and
central Kansas. Prof. Jones, a gradu-
ate of K. S. A. c., now coach and
manager of the Norton basketball
team, said regarding the defeat given
them by Clay Center:
1.-THE game was played, Norton
using three second team men. If we
had had our two regular and star for
wards, who are both out of the game
on account of injuries and sickness,
the results would have been different.
I think that Clay Center should at
least give us another game before
claiming the title of state champions

team are Newell, Kirk. Wynn, Bower,

CARNEGIE HERE.
The PhilanthrOpist Millionaire
Passes Through Topeka.
On Way to California Where He
Will Spend Winter.
KEPT AS A SECRET.
Only Higher Officials Knew He
Was on Train.
Slipped Through Kansas City
Without Being Seen.
AS A SECRET.

Andrew Carnegie, the worlds greatest
steel magnate and philanthropist,
passed through Topeka last night on
Santa Fe train No. 8. He came through
late in the evening and the private car
"Olivet'' was darkened for the night
when the big train came into the sta
ton.
Mr.. Carnegie is on his way to Santa
Barbara, Cal, where he will spend the
rest of the winter. He left Pittsburg
Sunday on the Pennsylvania railroad
and took the Santa Fe at Chicago Mon
day. His trip from Chicago to Topeka
has been made on the regular time of
the Santa FEES regular California train.
When the train pulled into Topeka
last night very few of the Santa F'e en-
ployes knew anything about the dis
tinguished visitor. The engineer on the
big passenger locomotive that pulled
the train and it's important passenger
and private car knew that he had an
extra few tons on the rear of his train
but is SO used to the extraordinary SER
vice Of the Santa Fe to the west that he
paid little attention.
Only the higher officials of the ex-
ecutive, traffic and operating depart
ments knew of the world wide passen-
ger in their care-and they appreciated
the fact that their road had been trust
ed and had been chosen to pull that
private car for the thousands of miles
en- route.
And these officials took it all as
matter of course. There have been no
General Superintendent Fox, General
Passenger Agent Cornell, lost any sleep
last night. They all appeared at their
offices in Topeka with the self same
executive and official ability this morn
ipg-and they were still in action this
afternoon.
A State Journal reporter asked one
of the officials at the Santa F'e general
offices if he did not take extra pains
with the big passenger of the road last
night. Here was the surprising an
Swer:
His car was attached to No. and
was carried right on through on mines
regular time. There We're no extra
frills and nothing happened out of the
ordinary"
But wasn't this quite an event for
the Santa F'e?" inquired the apparently
ignorant reporter.
''The Santa F'e is so used to carrying
private cars of well known men that it
is an old story he said, there is no
reason why there should be anything
extra-the Santa Fe is as good as mon
ey can make it without the extras
The reporter lodged out of the build
ing.
Not even the trustees of Washburn
college, who have received such liberal
donations and offers from Andrew
Carnegie knew that their friend was
in the city. Andrew Carnegie has sue
ceeded thus far in slipping through the
country without the knowledge of even
the railroad off1cials-in fact very few
newspaper men over the country knew
it. Kansas. City with her depot full of
reporters was ignorant of their visi-
tor.

Uniformed Officers at Sixth and
Eighth Avenues.

At last Topeka Is to have a traffic
squad. This metropolitan move was
decided upon this morning and To-
peka's first traffic squad will be on
duty tonight. Two policemen consti-
tute it. One will be on duty at the
corner Of Eighth and Kansas avenues
and the other at the intersection Of
Kansas avenue with Sixth street.
They will be on duty tonight from $50
until 1880 o'clock. The homeward
rush Of the down towners has made it
necessary to adopt some means Of pre-
venting the crowd from being run
down by automobiles and grocery de-
livery wagons with careless drivers. At
any rate, the squad will be on duty
and a portion of their instructions is
not to allow vehicles to run over them.
Get down on the street and try it
over once with the traffic squad.

genial temperament and claimed many
staunch friends among the white peo-
pie as well as being much beloved by
his own race. Few people who have
ever visited the fort will forget his
smiling face and portly figure. His
