TO EXTEND MONOPOLY.
Murdoch Would Bar Express Com.
panies From Competing With U. S.

Washington, Jan. 6.-To determine
whether the government has the pow
er to enforce it's mail carrying
monopoly so as to prevent express
companies from handling the second
third and fourth class mail matter
Representative Victor Murdoch (Kan)
mas offered resolution in the house
asking for an investigation by the ju-
dietary committee of that body
The government monopoly of mail
carrying extends to letters and pack
ets.''
Any person or firm is prohibited
from competing with the government
In this line, under heavy penalties.
Former Attorney General Wayne Mac
Veagh in 1881 held that the word
packets meant packets of letters;
and under such construction the ex-
press companies have been allowed to
carry everything except first class mail
in direct competition with the govern
ment.
representative Murdoch asks that
the mouse committee on judiciary con-
quot an inquiry to determine whether
the government has power, under ex-
listing law, to extend it's monopoly and
to compel the transportation of all sec
ond, third and fourth class matter
through the channels of the postoffice
department. If it is not, he asks that
the judiciary committee suggest leg
lslation necessary to accomplish such
an end.

KEEP AUTO PLANT.
Plans on Foot to Organize a Million
Dollar Company.

Monied men of the city have ex-
pressed their approval of a plan look
ing towards the reorganization of the
Smith Automobile company with a
capitalization of a million dollars, and
it looks as though the factory, which
is a Topeka concern, will be retained
in the city.
For three months the question of
the formation of a plan whereby the
plant that manufactures the Great
Smith" car would be put on a finan-
cial basis, has been given serious
thought by loyal Topeka citizens. They
were of the opinion that it would be a
great calamity to the capital city to
allow the plant to move to some ap-
parently more enterprising town.
]. w. Going is one of the leaders in
the present scheme. "a plan of re-
organization is being prepared and
considered said he, land the idea
has met with the approval of a good
many of the men with money in To-
peka. I believe the plan is a feasible
one. 1t is being pushed by local bust
ness men. and as far as its having
anything to do with the Commercial
club there is nothing to it.
1.-The Smith Automobile company is
a Topeka concern and should be re-
tanned here by all means. To allow
the company to go to some other city
would mean that a check would be
given to the growth of Topeka.
'"The plan as proposed will enable
the plant to enlarge to a sufficient ex-
tent to meet all demands. The point
has come in the existence of the COM
pany where it must have more capital
or go out of business.
stock in the new company will be
issued to the holders of stock in the
/ old concern in exchange for their
holdings. Enough of the million dol
lars in stock will be paid in to pay
off all Indebtedness, and enough ready
cash left on hand to meet the re-
quirements of the growth of the COM
pany for the present.
1.-The announcement of our plan is
rather premature, but 1 have every
confidence in the future of the new
company, as I believe that the plans
will be carried out
Wichita is a strong bidder for the
Smith Auto plant, but it now looks as
though Wichita had but little chance
of getting the concern.

SHOT GRANDMOTHER.
F1ve-Year-OId Boy Then Ran Away to
Escape a Whipping.

Danville, KY, Jan. 6.-After his ia
Their had been arrested in connection
with the shooting of his grandmother.
a f1ve-year-old boy here confessed that
he had shot the woman accidentally
and had run away to escape whip
ping
The victim was Mrs. Nancy Carter,
so years old. Her body was found in
her home at Junction City, four miles
south of here. The woman's son,
Clayton Carter, who had been max
ing his home with his mother, was
placed in jail.
News of his arrest spread rapidly
and rumors of plan to lynch him
began to circulate. Then Carriers lit
tie son was found. The boy said he
had been playing with a shotgun and
had pointed it at his grandmother in
play. When it was discharged he fled
and hid.

STEAL DEPOSIT BOXES.
Two Masked Bandits Rob an Ell Paso
Hotel.

FL Paso, Tex. Jan. 6.-Two masked
bandits entered the office of the
Angelus hotel and robbed the safe OF
about $4,000 in cash and jewelry. The
clerk and porter were forced into the
basement at the point of revolvers.
Thirteen safety deposit boxes were ex-
tracted and carried away.
The boxes were found in the base
ment of the Angelus theater, adjoin-
ing. All had been broken open.
The bandits forced the night clerk
to deliver the key to the inner door
of the safe before driving him into the
basement. One man then stood guard
in the basement while the other open
ed and looted the safe. The combina-
ton was not set.
About % boxes, containing several
thousand dollars in cash and dia-
monds. were left untouched The

left behind is said to have contained

Portland, Ore, Jan. 6.-Today's task
i the wool growers national conven-
ton is to formulate a basis of agree
ment between the manufacturers and
the wool growers with a view to conf
batting revision of the tariff.
Delegates to the convention almost
as a unit declare that reduction of the
tariff would ruin the sheep Industry or
the United States.

that the best result of the. convention
will be the incorporation of the WOOL
