Counsel for Mr.. Parker issued the
following statement in his behalf last
night:
There is no merit in this prose-
cution. 1t is actuated by brokers,
discharged employees, and holders of
stock who secured the same without
consideration. Mr.. Parker is one of
the largest stockholders of the United
Wireless Telegraph company, having
now over $4,000 shares. He has at
the present moment $4,000 loaned to
stockholders and has the stock as his
only security. Nine-te -tenths of his
wealth is in United Wireless stock
Mr.. Parker has no fear of the out

Those Taking Out Government
Stamps to Be Watched.
DRUGGIST is IMMUNE.
Have Right to License to Sell
Patent Preparations.
Other Kansas News of General
Interest to Reader.

Leavenworth, Kan, June 20.-Every-
one whose name appears on the rec
ords at the internal revenue Office as
having taken out a liquor stamp after
July 1, announced Charles D. Shukers,
will be watched unless he is a druggist.
Shukers came here to clear up the dock
ct of booze cases in the district court.
OF course, Shukers explained, his
agents have been keeping a close watch
on the internal revenue office, but just
now the fact that a mans name is on
the records cannot be taken as evil
dence that he is tampering with the
lid" He may have taken out a stamp
last summer and since then he may
have quit the business.
But if anyone gets a stamp after July
1, the beginning of the fiscal years, he
said, it would be taken by him as an
indication that there is an intention, at
least, to spring a leak somewhere.
And If anyone is caught with the
goods on him. he will be prosecuted
with all the vigor the prosecutor can
muster. So he says.
The assistant attorney general gave
out this statement to reporter with
the request that it be printed:
There is no good reason for any per-
son taking out a revenue stamp for
the fiscal year beginning July 1, 1910,
except he be a legitimate druggist for
the sale of patents. and the taking out
of such stamp will be taken by the Of
ficers as evidence of violation of the
law"

WE'LL TAKEN CARE OF.
Kansas VIII Get Nearly Half Million
for Public Buildings.

Washington, D. c., June 20.-That
the pork barrel" is to be opened and
members of congress are to share in
it's contents was assured when the
committee on public buildings and
grounds reported favorably to the
house a bill carrying appropriations
aggregating 81 million hundred
thousand dollars for public buildings.
Kansas will share literally in the ap-
preparation, half a million dollars go
ing to that state, this being due to the
activity of the Kansas congressman
each of whom gets new building Tor
his district.
The bill carries these appropria-
tions for Kansas: Abilene, $4,000
building; Beloit, $4,000 building;
Concordia, $4,000 building; Ottawa
$4,000 building; Arkansas City, $751;
600 site and building Garden City.
5000 site and building; Mcpherson
$4,000 site and building; Usage City,
$4,000 site only
While the appropriation for H1a-
watha and Holton is for the purchase
of a site only it means that both towns
in the near future will have public
buildings. The bill will undoubtedly
become a law.
The senate has already passed bills
appropriating $1,000 for improve
ments at the Salina building and $751;
600 for site and building at Chanute.
The Kansas congressman are quite jul
bilant feeling that their state
has Jared unusually we'll in the allot-
ment of new buildings.

city, township and school district taxes
have increased 100 per cent.
q Every department of the state and
every institution in the borders of the
state have been improved, the scope or
their work enlarged and in many cases
entirely reorganized under this admin
iStration. Wherever we have found un-
necessary employees in any department
or in any state institution, they nave
been discharged as promptly as IL they
were working for a private concern.
Wherever an employee has been found
to have a questionable character or
bad habits he has been let out without
delay. So the state charitable institu-
lions will return to the state treasury
more than $150000 of unused approprla-
lions on July 1.
1.-THE state grain department under
John T. White found fifteen unneces-
sary employees and they were dis
charged. This has saved the state
SIS, 900 in one year. Five unnecessary
assistant superintendents in the oil in
spectors office were abolished upon my
recommendation and that department
saved $4,000 the first year. The fish
and game department, supported out
of my contingent fund, shows approx
mately it's saving of $4,000, as COM
pared with the previous year. The live
stock commission has saved between
s., 900 and $4,000 by careful manage
ment.
1.-THE educational institutions, with
more than eight hundred additional
students in June, 1909, compared with
1907. made wonderful progress. There
were demands for new buildings and
one hundred additional instructors.
These have largely increased their APP
propriations. These institutions are
maintained at the lowest cost of any
educational institution of their class in
