DAWSON TO BILLIARD.
General Gives the Mayor
Some Information.

When Mayor Billiard heard that
John Dawson, attorney general, had
announced that Sunday theaters would
not be tolerated in Topeka, even if the
city commissioners did pass an ordi-
nance to permit it the mayor asked
about the Sunday ball games and why
they were not stopped
II do not want to get into any con-
troversy with Mayor Billiard, but his
question on the Sunday ball games de-
serves an answer" said the attorney
general today. 1.-The mayor asks why
will not permit Sunday theaters and
yet tolerate Sunday ball games. That
question is settled. The reason is that
under the decisions of the Kansas su-
preme court the operation of Sunday
theaters is Illegal and the playing of
baseball games on Sunday is not /
did not make the laws, but l have
mayor can not find fault with me for
that"
The supreme court has handled beth
matters In a decision several years
ago it held that playing baseball on
Sunday did not come under the law
which prohibited horse racing and
similar sports. In the theater case
that went to the supreme court from
Topeka the court held, and the mem
bership was almost the same in both
instances, that the operation of the
theaters was a violation of the Sunday
labor law, not only the one in the city
but also the state law, and the thea
ters were closed.

Rebellion, Brigandage and An
archy Go Hand in Hand.
Revolt Against the Manchu Dy-
nasty Has Become Serious.
FIGHT DESPERATELY.
Troops Are Trying
Hard to Crush Uprising.
But SeditiOn Is Reported Rife in
Their Ranks.

Hong Kong May Rebellion, br1-
gandage and anarchy are stalking the
west half of Kwang Tung province,
numbering, pillaging and burning. The
loyal troops are fighting desperately to
crush the uprising, the seriousness of
which is revealed in further dispatches
from Canton today. Wu Sum, a
Chinese who was educated in Japan
and has adopted the dress of western
countries, is the leader of the revolt
against the Manchu dynasty. The bri-
gand chief, LUX. of Shun TAX, is at the
head of a horde of outlaws whose OBJ
ject is robbery and murder Following
the standards Of these two men are
anarchists groups to whose purpose the
present outbreak lends itself most ad-
VantageOusly.
These combined forces have thrown
themselves with fanatical disregard of
their own lives against the troops and
since the first outbreak much blood has
been shed. Sedition is rife among GER
tain of the troops and it is feared that
the disaffected soldiers desert their Of
ficers if the revolters appear to prove
the upperhand. The advices from the
refugees arriving from Canton today
confirm the sinister reports of yester-
day. Bodies of slain lie in the streets.
and the shops generally are closed.
In the panic there have been few at
tempts to bury the dead and the stencil
from the decomposed bodies fills the
air. Today the revolters have with
drawn to a great extent from Canton
and are devastating the country to the
west along the West river. Before fall
ing back they fought the troops from
street to street, many persons being
killed. They attacked the provisional
arsenal and being repulsed gathered i'll
an immense rice store, which they bar
ricaded with bags of rice. From the
building they threw bombs into the at
tacking troops and were only dislOdged
when the building was set on fire.
Many of the revolters escaped but 80
or more died in the flames, while 9TH
ers killed themselves to avoid capture.
While the fighting was progressing
in the streets Chinese gunboats patroll-
ing the West river, fired into several
parties of rebels, slaughtering 200 of
them.
Retreating to the countryside the
revolutionaries attacked and captured
Sam Shut, 80 miles west of Canton, and
murdered the prefect. The troops were
put to flight and the rebels moved on
to Wen Chow and Woo Chow both of
which towns they took after slight re-
sistance. Luk's brigand, following II
their wake, looted the shops of three
towns.
Advices state that Shut Hung. on the
West river, has fallen before the revo-
| 1utionaries who murdered the prefect.
The battle at Fat Shan was a hard
| fought one, the imperial troops giving
battle at Tung Shi bridge. Thirty
seven soldiers were killed before the
troops fell back.

To STAY
MayOr Will Withdraw Name of
Otto Anderson.
William COnklin Will Be Plumb
ing Inspector.

At the meeting of the board of city
commissioners this afternoon William
Conklin and C. J. Stewart, plumbing in
spector and electrical inspector re-
spectively will be reappointed by the
mayor and commissioners without op-
position.
Until early this afternoon it was
known that Mayor Billiard, Commission
Miller and Commissioner Stotts were
favoring Otto Anderson for the cleo
trical inspectorship. Stewart was slated
to lose his job with Commissioners
Bone and Tandy attempting to keep
him on the pay roll.
However, the three commissioners
have decided after listening to commit
tees representing the electrical supply
and contracting firms. that c. ]. Stew
art is competent and is the man for
the place. AS a result Mayor Billiard
will withdraw the name of Otto An
derson presented last Friday and in
stead will recommend Stewart
William Conklin, for plumbing in
spector, is another of the old admins
tration men who has been lucky enough
to escape the d-Miller-Stotts NOW
ing machine. Nothing but COM
potency and popularity can be found
concerning Conklin and all the COM
appointed. And under the new admin
istration when all commissioners agree
on one man it is a sure sign that he is
without flaws.
superintendent Butterfly of the city
crematory will be reappointed some
time next week. He is favored for re-
appointment by Commissioner Stotts i'll
charge and by the other members of
the board. Butterfly was appointed by
M. c. Holman and has served since the
garbage plant. was opened last winter
There is no city ordinance covering the
salaries and the appointment of crema-
tory superintendent and as soon as
this ordinance can be drawn up and
passed the appointment of Butterfly will
be made. The rest of the entire Gre
matory force will probably be kept by
Commissioner Stotts.
The street foremen, Evans. Miller and
Smith. are in doubt. They are old
Snyder men and the outlook is that the
new street commissioner will drop one
or more of them for men he favors OF
favored a good many years ago when
he was in this office. Street Commits
sioner Baker will make no announce
ment at this time.
Other minor appointments in city of.
fices will be completed this afternoon.

U. S. IS SUPREME.
Can Set Aside Forest Reserve Without
Consent of the State

Washington, May 1.---By holding
that the federal government, without
consent of the state affected, may set
aside vast areas of public lands as
forest reserve and that such reserve
is not subject to the state fencing
laws the supreme court of the United
States settled two burning western
issues.
Stockmen of the west lost a hard
fought contest today when the su-
preme court also decided indictm ents
could be brought against persons graz
ing stock on forest reserves without
permits.
. The court held that the regulation
of the secretary of agriculture re-
quiring the permits was not an uncon-
stltuional exercise of power. The de-
cision was announced in the case of
Pierre Grimaud and ]. P. Carajous,
indicted for grazing sheep on the
Sierra forest reserve.
