THE BOND BILL.
j. Will Kelly Makes a Statement
of 1t.

In connection with a controversy be-
tween Representative ]. Will Kelly and
City Commissioner Bone. there is lit
not covered in Saturdays paper except
that Mr.. Kelly makes the following
statement about a bill filed by his firm
for surety bond:
Il note that Mr.. Bone says that my
opposition to the city auditor began
when he refused to allow bill to be
hled for $50. which he says was for a
bond for the superintendent of the wa
ter plant Mr.. Shaw. In this he is very
much mistaken. The bond, which I
wrote for Mr.. Shaw was for $1,000 and
the rate which 1 originally presented
the bill for was $5 per thousand or $25.
At the time the city commission gov
ernment came into effect. none of the
bonding companies had published rates
for the various kind of bonds, which
the city commission needed. And upon
the presentation of the bill for the bond
to the city auditor, he advised me that
other agents k,ld agreed to write the
bond for $12.50. I Immediately took it
up with my company and they advis-
sequently accepted $12 so for the bond.
1t created no feeling against the city
auditor on my part"
Mr.. Kelly and Mr.. Bone seem to differ
radically on the question of an audi
tor for the city. the former declaring
1t a useless office. the expense for which
should be saved, but Mr.. Bone and
other commissioners believe that with
the magnitude of the city's business
the auditor is one of the greatest i'm
portance to the city.

administration of Justice in the federal
courts and in the local courts of the
federal district and territories. and
these endeavors alone suffice to demon
strate the Importance which the ex-
ecutive attaches to the Improvement of
this vital function. At the same time
the executive is not unaware that much
remains to be done to complete the
work and to correct the defects which
observations bring to light and public
opinion points out.
1.-The various measures which it is
proposed to Introduce after a mature
and minute consideration of all the ele-
ments of the problem will aim funda-
mentally at insuring more effectively
the independence of the Judiciary by
securing a more select personnel and
lengthening their term of Office, while
another object of the measures in ques-
tion will be to render more stringent
the responsibilities of judicial func-
tionaries by providing really efficacious
forms of procedure for bringing them
to account in case of malfeasance."

NAMES new BOARD.
Three Men Will Have Charge of Penal
Institutions.

Governor Stubbs has named the new
board to take charge of the peniten-
tiary and the industrial reformatory at
the beginning Of the new fiscal year,
July l. The members are:
Joseph Hazen, Pittsburg; T. w. Nor
gan, Ottawa; E. E. Mullaney Hill City.
The governor took one member of the
old boards of each institution and Mr..
Hazen is the only member of the new
board who has not had experience with
the Kansas prison affairs. He is a mine
operator and should be of great value
to the prison board on account of his
knowledge of mining business.
The governor named Edwin Taylor of
Edwardsville, and w. e. Blackburn of
Anthony, as members of the Agricul-
trual college board of regents. Both
are reappointments. H. w. Grasse of
Lacrosse, was reappointed member
of the board of regents of the State
Normal school and ]. E. Boyer of King
man was appointed a normal scnool re-
gent to take the place of L. A. Bushey.

ASK FOR THEIR BONDS.
Elevator Companies Request Release
From Secretary of State.

The grain elevator companies in
Kansas City, Kan. who are changing
from public to private warehouses, as
stated in the State Journal have noti-
fed the state grain inspector that they
would relinquish their licenses. Charles
Sessions. secretary of state. has also
been asked to return to four OF the
companies the bonds which the com
panies are required to deposit with
the secretary of state. Each public
warehouse in Kansas must furnish
bond for the faithful performance OF
all duties required under the ware
house law.
The companies which have asked for
the return of the bonds and that no
tified the secretary of state that they
would not be bound by the bonds after
April 1 are:
Santa Fe Elevator company
Terminal Elevator company
Memphis Elevator company.
Frisco Elevator company.
All these elevators are located IN
Kansas. There are several other COM
panies with big plants in this state
that have given up their licenses and
it is expected that all the Kansas City,
Kan, elevators will relinquish tneir
rights as public warehouses. The grain
men object to the grain inspection fees
charged by the Kansas law

the time was measured from the doing
of an act he was not entitled to I2
hours. They, like other people, read
them with the help of common sense
and cannot be presumed to admit in
them any recondite meaning or any
extraordinary gloss T"
But the secretary of state and his
attorney have found an entirely new
proposition as an argument for the
court holding that the Inheritance tax
law is dead. The legislature passed the
bill and it was sent to the governor.
The governor looked the bill over and
saw some Objectionable features in it
and at once wrote a message to the
legislature saying that some parts Of
the bill suited his ideas exactly but that
some other parts were wrong and he
asked that the bill be amended as he
said he did not want to veto 1t. The
house of representatives recalled the
bill but found that it could not act
upon it at all and the bill was return
ed to the governor. 1t is argued in the
brief of the secretary of state that this
action of the governor really was a
veto and that if he had not taken up
the bill again it would have been a
valid veto without further notice to the
legislature.

HIS WORD TO FOREIGNERS.
Provisional President of Mexico Sends
Out q Statement.

Out a Statement.
Washington, April Assurances
that foreign interests in Mexico will be
protected are made by Francisco I.
Madero, jr., president of the provision
al government of Mexico in a COM
munication addressed to Secretary
Knox and the diplomatic representa-
tives of other interested governm ents.
The text of the document was made
public today by the confidential agency
in Washington of the revolutionary
party. The statement is supple
mental to note issued on March IL.
In setting forth at length the rea-
sons which impelled the insurrectlon-
ary movement in Mexico, the note de-
clares that it is just because the peO-
pie of Mexico have exhausted every
legal and peaceful recourse to obtain
the much needed reforms; that 1t is
patriotic because it has no other OBJ
ject than to establish a constitutional
sary because for many years the
Mexican people have never had justice
meted out to them and have lived
without enjoying the guarantees and
privileges which the laws provide"
After expressing the hope for SYM
pathy from all civilized peoples, the
statement serves notice that the pro-
visional government at the proper
time will ask to be recognized by the
foreign governments. From the mo-
ment of such recognition, it is stated,
the government will assume response
bility for all damages and injuries to
the citizens of such foreign countries
which may result from the insurrec-
ton. The recognition of and the up
holding of all international treaties in
force before November 10, 1910, and
recognition and respect for all obliga-
tions entered into or incurred by the
Mexican government with foreign cor
porations or individuals prior to that
date are promised in the note.
'Tn the maritime and frontier Gus
tom houses which may be occupied by
the provisional government" says the
note, "the documents issued by con-
sular officers of the Unconstitutional
government shall not be recognized;
and in order to obviate the 1mped-
nent to commerce, which the war
may occasion, the provisional govern
ment will appoints AAt the proper time,

SELL MUCH TWINE.
Prison Plant Will Turn Out Three MIL
lion Pounds.

The state penitentiary twine plant
will turn out over three million pounds
of twine this year and every pound of
it has been sold already. The harvest
season will not open until after June
l. I'VE are running the plant full time
now,'' said Warden J. K Codding to-
day. "All the twine the plant will turn
out has been disposed of already and
shipments will begin pretty soon.''
The prison makes about one-fifth Of
the total amount of twine used in Kan
sas. With an ordinary wheat crop the
twine consumption is from fourteen to
fifteen million pounds a year. The
price this year will be practically the
same as last year.
We have three industries at the
prison and we should have only two,'
said the warden. THE coal mine, brick
yard and twine plant and the farm and
the general work outside the prison
keeps every man employed that we
have. We really need more men and 1
think that the legislature provided a
way to get them. 1 don't think many
eople know about this law that was
passed. 1t permits counties and cities
to contract with the prison board for
the care of men in the jails in the diff
ferent counties. At present the coun-
ties have men in Jail and nothing for
thOil W OO- w III llliS ileW ldW tuc
county commissioners can send the jail
birds over to the prison and we will
keep them busy. 1 suppose 1t would not
be legal to put a man sentenced to Jail
into prison but We could build a stock
ade outside and keep them. We have
plenty of work for all the men we can
get and when this law goes into effect
any county that wants to send the men
along will find that we have plenty of
work for them and that we can take
care of their prisoners without any

THERE IS A SURPLUS.
Government Receipts Have at Last
Passed the Expenditures.

Washington, April 3.-Uncle Sam
has baTanced his books and counted
his cash and found the government on
a paying basis for the first time since
July 1, 1910.
The treasury began business for
April with a surplus of million dol
lars on all ordinary accounts. There
was a corresponding deficiency of
more than 16 million dollars a year
ago. Treasury officials attribute the
favorable gains to rapidly increasing
receipts from internal revenue, more
than to any other cause. Customs re-
ceipts have declined 13 million dollars,
compared with a year ago.

HINSDALE, N. H.
Action In the Special Town Meeting.

A we'll attended special town meet
ing was held Friday evening for the
purpose of transacting business in con-
nection with the proposed railroad, If 1t
should be built running though Hins-
dale. Taking up the several matters for
consideration, as they were presented
to the voters, first was the discontin-
uance of an old turnpike road in the
north part of the town, and near the
east shore of the Connecticut river. AL
though this road has not been used by
the public for many years, the town still
holds its right of way. a resolution was
offered and accepted accomplishing the
object The next resolution to be ac
cepted was one giving the railroad the
right of way over the old highway
across the Stearns fiat, which is now
submerged by water as the result of
the dam across the Connecticut river
belonging to the Connecticut River
Power company. The resolution requires
that underpasses be constructed so that
boats will have free access to Wantas-
tiquet lake. Another resolution was
passed to discontinue the present trav-
eled highway between Brattleboro and
Hinsdale for about n mile northerly from
Adam Roeder's farm. To take the place
of this road the railroad is to build
new hard road acceptable to the select
men of the town and to the state high
way engineer; also the old road Is not
to be discontinued until the new one has
been accepted 1t was voted to allow the
raising of the iron bridge opposite Brat
tleboro according to the proposed plans
for abolishing the Bridge street grade
crossing in Brattleboro. 1t was voted
to leave the matter of grading across the
island opposite Brattleboro in the hands
of the selectmen. In case the railroad
is built on the New Hampshire side of
the river the station would be located In
Hinsdale, opposite Brattleboro, and as
the proposed site is on top of a hill a
good amount of grading will be neces-
sary in order to make it easy of access.
That matter was left to the board of
selectmen so that they can authorize the
railroad company to make needed
changes. Hnsdale people are awake on
the subject, and the majority would well
come a final decision in favor of the
road being built through this town.
